Translation of Verse 100-108

100. Is it not clear to those who take over the land after ˹the destruction of˺ its former residents that-if We will-We can punish them ˹too˺ for their sins and seal their hearts so they will not hear ˹the truth˺?

101. We have narrated to you ˹O Prophet˺ some of the stories of those societies. Surely, their messengers came to them with clear proofs, but still they would not believe in what they had already denied. This is how Allah seals the hearts of the disbelievers.

102. We did not find most of them true to their covenant. Rather, We found most of them truly rebellious.

103. Then after them We sent Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his chiefs, but they wrongfully rejected them. See what was the end of the corruptors!

104. And Moses said, "O Pharaoh! I am truly a messenger from the Lord of all worlds,

105. obliged to say nothing about Allah except the truth. Indeed, I have come to you with clear proof from your Lord, so let the children of Israel go with me."

106. Pharaoh said, "If you have come with a sign, then bring it if what you say is true."

107. So Moses threw down his staff and-behold!-it became a real snake.

108. Then he drew his hand ˹out of his collar˺ and it was ˹shining˺ white for all to see.
