فَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوۡ كَذَّبَ بِءَایَـٰتِهِۦۤۚ أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ یَنَالُهُمۡ نَصِیبُهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِۖ حَتَّىٰۤ إِذَا جَاۤءَتۡهُمۡ رُسُلُنَا یَتَوَفَّوۡنَهُمۡ قَالُوۤا۟ أَیۡنَ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِۖ قَالُوا۟ ضَلُّوا۟ عَنَّا وَشَهِدُوا۟ عَلَىٰۤ أَنفُسِهِمۡ أَنَّهُمۡ كَانُوا۟ كَـٰفِرِینَ ۝٣٧

Who then does greater evil than one who attributes falsehood to Allâh, or persistently refuse to acknowledge what He has revealed of the knowledge of truth? These will continue to receive their full portion written for them in the Preserved Tablet- until, when Our Messengers- (the Angel of death & his assistants)- come to them to take their souls; saying: "Where are those whom you used to implore and worship instead of Allah?" They will reply: "They have gone away from us. So they will bear witness against their own selves that they were spiritually dead and blind.

قَالَ ٱدۡخُلُوا۟ فِیۤ أُمَمࣲ قَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِن قَبۡلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ وَٱلۡإِنسِ فِی ٱلنَّارِۖ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَتۡ أُمَّةࣱ لَّعَنَتۡ أُخۡتَهَاۖ حَتَّىٰۤ إِذَا ٱدَّارَكُوا۟ فِیهَا جَمِیعࣰا قَالَتۡ أُخۡرَىٰهُمۡ لِأُولَىٰهُمۡ رَبَّنَا هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ أَضَلُّونَا فَءَاتِهِمۡ عَذَابࣰا ضِعۡفࣰا مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِۖ قَالَ لِكُلࣲّ ضِعۡفࣱ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تَعۡلَمُونَ ۝٣٨

(The Lord God) will say: “Now enter you in the company of (the impious) nations which have preceded you, of jinn and mankind, into the Fire." Every time a nation enter, it curses its sister, until, they will all have successively entered therein. The last of them will say to the first of them: "Our Lord, these are the ones who deceived us. Now, therefore, let them have a double punishment of the Fire. He will say: "Everyone will have a double punishment but you have no knowledge of it."

And when Moses came at the time and place appointed by Us, and his Lord spoke to him, he said: “My Lord, show Yourself to me so I may see You.” Allâh replied: "You will not be able to see Me. But look at the mountain! If it happens that it remains firm in its place, then you will see Me." When His Lord manifested His Majestic Glory on the mountain, He made it crumble to dust and Moses fell down unconscious. When he regained full consciousness, he said: "Glory Be To You. I turn to You in repentance. And I am the first of those who believe (in the Absolute Oneness of Allâh, the Lord of all the beings)."

When Moses returned to his people, furious and disappointed, he said: “Evil is that which you did in my absence. Did you hasten on the judgment of your Lord?" He cast down the Tablets, and seized his brother by the head, dragging him towards himself. Aaron said: “O’ son of my mother, the people surely reckoned me weak; and they were about to kill me. So let not the enemies rejoice over my misery and do not place me with those who have voluntarily and consciously abandoned the Full Knowledge of the Truth in favour of their own whims.

Moses chose out of his people seventy men for Our Appointment. So when the earthquake overtook them, he said: "My Lord, if it had been Your will, You could have destroyed them long ago, and me as well. Will you destroy us for that which the foolish among us have done? It is only Your trial by which You allow to go astray whom You will, and give Your light to whom You will. So deliver us from all the consequences of our iniquitous deeds, and show Mercy towards us, for You are the Best of those who forgive.

Those who follow the Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in the Torah and the Gospel which are with them. He enjoins upon them what is good and forbids them what is wrong, makes lawful for them the pure and wholesome things, prohibits for them the evil and removes from them their burdens and shackles that were upon them. So those who believe in him, honor and support him, and follow the light which has been sent down with him, such are the ones who will ultimately achieve a blissful life/ or gain eternal salvation.

We divided them into twelve tribes, distinct nations. And We revealed to Moses when his people asked him for water, saying: "Strike the rock with your staff. And from it there gushed forth twelve springs. Each tribe knew their drinking place. We caused the clouds to overshadow them, sent down for them manna and quails, and said: "Eat of the pure and wholesome things We have provided for you." They wronged Us not, but it was their own selves that they wronged.

Then there came after them an (evil) posterity who inherited the Scripture. They chose to take the transient things of this wordily life, saying: "We will be forgiven." But if it happened that similar transient things were to come to them again, they would decide to adopt them. Did they not make a covenant to uphold the Scripture, that they would not attribute to Allâh anything except for the truth? Did they not study the Scripture? The abode of the Hereafter is better for those who act piously. Don't you have conscious thoughts at least in this sense?
