Read Surah An-Naziat

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصٰیؗۖ۝۲۱

But (the Pharaoh) disavowed and disobeyed.

ثُمَّ اَدْبَرَ یَسْعٰیؗۖ۝۲۲

Then he turned away, deliberating,

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادٰیؗۖ۝۲۳

And assembled (his council) and proclaimed,

فَقَالَ اَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْاَعْلٰیؗۖ۝۲۴

Saying: "I am alone your lord, the highest of them all."

فَاَخَذَهُ اللّٰهُ نَكَالَ الْاٰخِرَةِ وَ الْاُوْلٰیؕ۝۲۵

So God seized him for the punishment of the Hereafter and this world.

اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَنْ یَّخْشٰی ؕ۠۝۲۶

Truly there is a lesson in this for those who fear (the consequences).

ءَاَنْتُمْ اَشَدُّ خَلْقًا اَمِ السَّمَآءُ ؕ بَنٰىهَاۥ۝۲۷

Are you more difficult to create or the heavens? He built it,

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوّٰىهَاۙ۝۲۸

Raised it high, proportioned it,

وَ اَغْطَشَ لَیْلَهَا وَ اَخْرَجَ ضُحٰىهَا۪۝۲۹

Gave darkness to its night, and brightness to its day;

وَ الْاَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ دَحٰىهَاؕ۝۳۰

And afterwards spread out the earth.
