52. And We revealed to Mūsā (Moses), saying: "Depart by night with My slaves, verily you will be pursued."
53. Then Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) sent callers to (all) the cities.
54. (Saying): "Verily these indeed are but a small band.
55. "And verily, they have done what has enraged us.
56. "But we are a host all assembled, amply fore-warned."
57. So, We expelled them from gardens and springs,
58. Treasures, and every kind of honourable place.
59. Thus [We turned them (Pharaoh’s people) out] and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them.
60. So they pursued them at sunrise.
61. And when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Mūsā (Moses) said: "We are sure to be overtaken."
62. [Mūsā (Moses)] said: "Nay, verily with me is my Lord. He will guide me."
63. Then We revealed to Mūsā (Moses) (saying): "Strike the sea with your stick." And it parted, and each separate part (of that sea water) became like huge mountain.

88. And Mūsā (Moses) said: "Our Lord! You have indeed bestowed on Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) and his chiefs splendour and wealth in the life of this world, our Lord! that they may lead men astray from Your Path. Our Lord! Destroy their wealth, and harden their hearts, so that they will not believe until they see the painful torment."
89. Allāh said: "Verily, the invocation of you both is accepted. So you both keep to the Straight Way (i.e. keep on doing good deeds and preaching Allāh’s Message with patience), and follow not the path of those who know not (the truth i.e. to believe in the Oneness of Allāh, and also to believe in the Reward of Allāh: Paradise)."
90. And We took the Children of Israel across the sea, and Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) with his hosts followed them in oppression and enmity, till when drowning overtook him, he said: "I believe that none has the right to be worshipped but He (Allāh) in Whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am one of the Muslims (those who submit to Allāh’s Will)."
91. Now (you believe) while you refused to believe before and you were one of the Mufsidūn (evil-doers, the corrupters).
92. So this day We shall deliver your (dead) body (out from the sea) that you may be a sign to those who come after you! And verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Ayāt (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.).
