But when Moses came to them with Our clear signs, they said ˹arrogantly˺, “This is nothing but conjured magic ˹tricks˺. We have never heard of this in ˹the history of˺ our forefathers.”Moses responded, “My Lord knows best who has come with ˹true˺ guidance from Him and will fare best in the end. Indeed, the wrongdoers will never succeed.”Pharaoh declared, “O chiefs! I know of no other god for you but myself. So bake bricks out of clay for me, O Hamân, and build a high tower so I may look at the God of Moses, although I am sure he is a liar.”And so he and his soldiers behaved arrogantly in the land with no right, thinking they would never be returned to Us.So We seized him and his soldiers, casting them into the sea. See then what was the end of the wrongdoers!  Quran Al-Qasas [28:36~40]
Surah al-Qasas [The Story] takes it name from being mentioned in [28:25],
‘Then one of the two women came to him walking with shyness.
She said, “Indeed, my father invites you that he may reward you for having watered for us.”
So when he came to him and related to him the story, he said,
“Fear not. You have escaped from the wrongdoing people.”
This Surah has 88 Ayat.

فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَهُم مُّوسَىٰ بِءَایَـٰتِنَا بَیِّنَـٰتࣲ 
قَالُوا۟ مَا هَـٰذَاۤ إِلَّا سِحۡرࣱ مُّفۡتَرࣰى 
وَمَا سَمِعۡنَا بِهَـٰذَا فِیۤ ءَابَاۤىِٕنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ

وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ رَبِّیۤ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَن جَاۤءَ بِٱلۡهُدَىٰ مِنۡ عِندِهِۦ وَمَن تَكُونُ لَهُۥ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلدَّارِۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا یُفۡلِحُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ

وَقَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلۡمَلَأُ مَا عَلِمۡتُ لَكُم مِّنۡ إِلَـٰهٍ غَیۡرِی فَأَوۡقِدۡ لِی یَـٰهَـٰمَـٰنُ عَلَى ٱلطِّینِ فَٱجۡعَل لِّی صَرۡحࣰا لَّعَلِّیۤ أَطَّلِعُ إِلَىٰۤ إِلَـٰهِ مُوسَىٰ 
وَإِنِّی لَأَظُنُّهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡكَـٰذِبِینَ

وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرَ هُوَ وَجُنُودُهُۥ فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ بِغَیۡرِ ٱلۡحَقِّ وَظَنُّوۤا۟ أَنَّهُمۡ إِلَیۡنَا لَا یُرۡجَعُونَ

فَأَخَذۡنَـٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذۡنَـٰهُمۡ فِی ٱلۡیَمِّۖ فَٱنظُرۡ كَیۡفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِینَ
The basic theme of this Surah is the prophethood. Some aspects of the life of Prophet Moses -peace be upon him- are mentioned to show the similarity between him and Prophet Muhammad – peace be upon all the prophets of Allah. There are also answers here to the questions and doubts that were raised by some non-believers.
اور جب موسٰی اُن کے پاس ہماری کھلی نشانیاں لےکر آئے تو وہ کہنے لگے کہ 
یہ جادو ہے جو اُس نے بنا کھڑا کیا ہے اور یہ باتیں ہم نے اپنے اگلے باپ دادا میں تو (کبھی) سنی نہیں
 
اور موسٰی نے کہا کہ میرا پروردگار اس شخص کو خوب جانتا ہے جو اس کی طرف سے حق لےکر آیا ہے اور جس کے لئے عاقبت کا گھر (یعنی بہشت) ہے۔ بیشک ظالم نجات نہیں پائیں گے
 
اور فرعون نے کہا کہ 
اے اہلِ دربار 
میں تمہارا اپنے سوا کسی کو خدا نہیں جانتا 
تو ہامان میرے لئے گارے کو آگ لگوا 
(کر اینٹیں پکوا) دو پھر ایک (اُونچا) محل بنادو 
تاکہ 
میں موسٰی کے خدا کی طرف چڑھ جاؤں 
اور میں تو اُسے جھوٹا سمجھتا ہوں
 
اور وہ اور اس کے لشکر ملک میں ناحق مغرور ہورہے تھے اور خیال کرتے تھے کہ وہ ہماری طرف لوٹ کر نہیں آئیں گے
 
تو ہم نے اُن کو اور اُن کے لشکروں کو پکڑلیا اور دریا میں ڈال دیا۔ 
سو دیکھ لو ظالموں کا کیسا انجام ہوا
