The story of Musa (peace be upon him) with Pharaoh and the clash of truth with falsehood

Then after them We sent Moses and Aaron with Our signs to the Pharaoh and his nobles; but they behaved arrogantly, for they were a people full of guilt.

Thus, when the truth had come to them from Us, they said: "Surely this is nothing but pure magic."

"You say this of the truth," said Moses, "after it has come to you. Is this magic? But sorcerers do not ever prosper."

"Have you come," said they, "to turn us back from what we found our ancestors doing, so that the two of you may attain supremacy in the land? We shall not believe in what you say.
