Al-A'raf 7:136

<h2>The People of Fir`awn drown in the Sea; the Children of Israel inherit the Holy Land</h2><p>Allah states that when the people of Fir`awn rebelled and transgressed, even though He inflicted them with consecutive signs, one after another, He took retribution from them by drowning them in the sea that Musa parted by Allah's power, and he and the Children of Israel passed through. In their pursuit, Fir`awn and his soldiers went in the sea chasing Musa and his people. When they all had gone inside the water, the sea closed in on them and they all drowned, because they belied the Ayat of Allah and were heedless of them. Allah said that He has granted the people who were considered weak, the Children of Israel, to inherit the eastern and western parts of the land. Al-Hasan Al-Basri and Qatadah commented that Allah's statement, </p><div class="arabic uthmani">مَشَـرِقَ الاٌّرْضِ وَمَغَـرِبَهَا الَّتِى بَارَكْنَا فِيهَا</div><p>(...the eastern parts of the land and the western parts thereof which We have blessed.) refers to the Sham area (Greater Syria). Also, Mujahid and Ibn Jarir said that Allah's statement, </p><div class="arabic uthmani">وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ الْحُسْنَى عَلَى بَنِى إِسْرءِيلَ بِمَا صَبَرُواْ</div><p>(And the fair Word of your Lord was fulfilled …

Therefore We took retribution from them; therefore We drowned them in the sea: because they denied Our revelations and were heedless of them.

So We exacted retribution from them: We drowned them in the sea, because they rejected Our Signs and failed to take warning from them.

So We took retribution from them. We drowned them in the sea, because they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and were heedless about them.

So We took vengeance on them, and drowned them in the sea—because they rejected Our signs, and paid no heed to them.
