(79:16) When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa, (79:17) "Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed. (79:18) And say to him, `Would you [be willing to] purify yourself (79:19) And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?`" (79:20) And he showed him the greatest sign, (79:21) But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed. (79:22) Then he turned his back, striving. (79:23) And he gathered [his people] and called out (79:24) And said, "I am your most exalted lord." (79:25) So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression]. (79:26) Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah]. (79:27) Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it. (79:28) He raised its ceiling and proportioned it. (79:29) And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness. (79:30) And after that He spread the earth.
