Sura 28 Al-Qasas (The Stories), ayah 38

  1. وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ يَا أَيُّهَا الْمَلَأُ مَا عَلِمْتُ لَكُمْ مِنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرِي فَأَوْقِدْ لِي يَا هَامَانُ عَلَى الطِّينِ فَاجْعَلْ لِي صَرْحًا لَعَلِّي أَطَّلِعُ إِلَىٰ إِلَٰهِ مُوسَىٰ وَإِنِّي لَأَظُنُّهُ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ

    يَٰٓأَيُّهَا
    "O chiefs!
    ٱلْمَلَأُ
    "O chiefs!
    مَا
    Not
    عَلِمْتُ
    I know
    لَكُم
    for you
    مِّنْ
    any
    إِلَٰهٍ
    god
    غَيْرِى
    other than me.
    فَأَوْقِدْ
    So kindle
    لِى
    for me
    يَٰهَٰمَٰنُ
    O Haman!
    عَلَى
    Upon
    ٱلطِّينِ
    the clay
    فَٱجْعَل
    and make,
    لِّى
    for me
    صَرْحًا
    a lofty tower
    لَّعَلِّىٓ
    so that [I]
    أَطَّلِعُ
    I may look
    إِلَىٰٓ
    at
    إِلَٰهِ
    (the) God
    مُوسَىٰ
    (of) Musa.
    وَإِنِّى
    And indeed, I
    لَأَظُنُّهُۥ
    [I] think that he
    مِنَ
    (is) of
    ٱلْكَٰذِبِينَ
    the liars."

    And Pharaoh said, "O eminent ones, I have not known you to have a god other than me. Then ignite for me, O Haman, (a fire) upon the clay and make for me a tower that I may look at the God of Moses. And indeed, I do think he is among the liars."
