Al-Qasas 28:40

<h2>The Arrogance of Fir`awn and His ultimate Destiny</h2><p>Allah tells us of Fir`awn's disbelief and wrongdoing, and how he falsely claimed divinity for his evil self, may Allah curse him.</p><div class="arabic uthmani">فَاسْتَخَفَّ قَوْمَهُ فَأَطَاعُوهُ</div><p>(Thus he fooled his people, and they obeyed him.) 43:54 He called on his people to recognize his divinity, and they responded, because of their weak and foolish minds.

So We seized him and his hosts, and We flung them into the sea: Now behold what was the end of those who did wrong!

So We seized him and his hosts, and We threw them all into the sea (and drowned them). So behold (O Muhammad SAW) what was the end of the Zalimun [wrong-doers, polytheists and those who disbelieved in the Oneness of their Lord (Allah), or rejected the advice of His Messenger Musa (Moses)].

So We seized him, and his troops, and We threw them into the sea. Observe, therefore, what was the end of the oppressors.
