- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik

'We' also 'destroyed' Korah, Pharaoh, and Haman. Indeed, Moses had come to them with clear proofs, but they behaved arrogantly in the land. Yet they could not escape 'Us'.

And Korah, Pharaoh and Haman! Moses came unto them with clear proofs (of Allah's sovereignty), but they were boastful in the land. And they were not winners (in the race).

- Marmaduke Pickthall
