Sura 40 Ghafir (The Forgiver), ayah 37

  1. أَسْبَابَ السَّمَاوَاتِ فَأَطَّلِعَ إِلَىٰ إِلَٰهِ مُوسَىٰ وَإِنِّي لَأَظُنُّهُ كَاذِبًا ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ سُوءُ عَمَلِهِ وَصُدَّ عَنِ السَّبِيلِ ۚ وَمَا كَيْدُ فِرْعَوْنَ إِلَّا فِي تَبَابٍ

    Translation by words

    أَسْبَٰبَ
    (The) ways
    ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ
    (to) the heavens
    فَأَطَّلِعَ
    so I may look
    إِلَىٰٓ
    at
    إِلَٰهِ
    (the) God
    مُوسَىٰ
    (of) Musa;
    وَإِنِّى
    and indeed, I
    لَأَظُنُّهُۥ
    [I] surely think him
    كَٰذِبًا
    (to be) a liar."
    وَكَذَٰلِكَ
    And thus
    زُيِّنَ
    was made fair-seeming
    لِفِرْعَوْنَ
    to Firaun
    سُوٓءُ
    (the) evil
    عَمَلِهِۦ
    (of) his deed,
    وَصُدَّ
    and he was averted
    عَنِ
    from
    ٱلسَّبِيلِ
    the way.
    وَمَا
    And not
    كَيْدُ
    (was the) plot
    فِرْعَوْنَ
    (of) Firaun
    إِلَّا
    except
    فِى
    in
    تَبَابٍ
    ruin.

    The ways into the heavens - so that I may look at the deity of Moses; but indeed, I think he is a liar." And thus was made attractive to Pharaoh the evil of his deed, and he was averted from the (right) way. And the plan of Pharaoh was not except in ruin.
