3 It may be that you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) are going to kill yourself with grief, that they do not become believers [in your Risalah (Messengership) i.e. in your Message of Islamic Monotheism].

49 [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "You have believed in him before I give you leave. Surely, he indeed is your chief, who has taught you magic! So verily, you shall come to know. Verily, I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you all."

50 Qaloo la dayra inna ila rabbina munqaliboona

57 So, We expelled them from gardens and springs,

58 Wakunoozin wamaqamin kareemin

58 Treasures, and every kind of honourable place.

63 Then We revealed to Musa (Moses) (saying): "Strike the sea with your stick." And it parted, and each separate part (of that sea water) became like huge mountain.

66 Thumma aghraqna alakhareena
