40فَأَخَذناهُ وَجُنودَهُ فَنَبَذناهُم فِي اليَمِّ وَهُوَ مُليمٌMuhammad AsadWe seized him and his hosts, and cast them all into the sea: and [none but Pharaoh] himself was to blame [for what happened].1This is an illustration of the Qur'anic doctrine that the suffering which is bound to befall an evildoer in this world or in the life to come, or in both, is but a consequence of his own doings.
