The Forgiver - 40:42 You call me to be ungrateful to Allah and to associate with Him that of which I have no knowledge. I call you to Him Who is the Exalted and the Forgiving.
Pharaoh was a violent leader who proclaimed himself a god, and his people followed him:
The Stories/28:38 "Pharaoh said, "O you elders, I do not know a better god for you than I. Haman, prepare bricks for me by kindling a fire in the clay and build a tower so that I may reach the God of Moses. I believe that he is a liar."
وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ يَٓا اَيُّهَا الْمَلَأُ مَا عَلِمْتُ لَكُمْ مِنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْر۪يۚ فَاَوْقِدْ ل۪ي يَا هَامَانُ عَلَى الطّ۪ينِ فَاجْعَلْ ل۪ي صَرْحاً لَعَلّ۪ٓي اَطَّلِعُ اِلٰٓى اِلٰهِ مُوسٰىۙ وَاِنّ۪ي لَاَظُنُّهُ مِنَ الْكَاذِب۪ينَ
The Stories/28:39 He and his army became arrogant in the earth unjustly and thought that they would not return to Us.
وَاسْتَكْبَرَ هُوَ وَجُنُودُهُ فِي الْاَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَظَنُّٓوا اَنَّهُمْ اِلَيْنَا لَا يُرْجَعُونَ
The Stories/28:40 We seized them and their army and threw them into the sea. Behold how is the end of the wrongdoers.
فَاَخَذْنَاهُ وَجُنُودَهُ فَنَبَذْنَاهُمْ فِي الْيَمِّۚ فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الظَّالِم۪ينَ
The Stories/28:41 We made them leaders who call to the Fire, and they will not be helped on the Day of Resurrection.
وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ اَئِمَّةً يَدْعُونَ اِلَى النَّارِۚ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ لَا يُنْصَرُونَ

The Ornaments of Gold/43:51 "Pharaoh said to his people: "O my people, does not the government of Egypt and the rivers flowing under me belong to me? Do you not see?"
وَنَادٰى فِرْعَوْنُ ف۪ي قَوْمِه۪ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اَلَيْسَ ل۪ي مُلْكُ مِصْرَ وَهٰذِهِ الْاَنْهَارُ تَجْر۪ي مِنْ تَحْت۪يۚ اَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَۜ
The Ornaments of Gold/43:52 Or am I not superior to this man who is vile and unable to speak?
اَمْ اَنَا۬ خَيْرٌ مِنْ هٰذَا الَّذ۪ي هُوَ مَه۪ينٌ وَلَا يَكَادُ يُب۪ينُ
The Ornaments of Gold/43:53 Why is he not given a treasure of gold, or why do not angels come to work with him?
فَلَوْلَٓا اُلْقِيَ عَلَيْهِ اَسْوِرَةٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ اَوْ جَٓاءَ مَعَهُ الْمَلٰٓئِكَةُ مُقْتَرِن۪ينَ
The Ornaments of Gold/43:54 So he misled his people and they followed him. They were a vulgar people.
فَاسْتَخَفَّ قَوْمَهُ فَاَطَاعُوهُۜ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْماً فَاسِق۪ينَ

Those Who Pull Out/79:17 Go to Pharaoh; he was a man of folly.
اِذْهَبْ اِلٰى فِرْعَوْنَ اِنَّهُ طَغٰىۘ
Those Who Pull Out/79:18 Tell him: Will you not purify yourself?
فَقُلْ هَلْ لَكَ اِلٰٓى اَنْ تَزَكّٰىۙ
Those Who Pull Out/79:19 I will guide you to your Lord that you may respect Him.
وَاَهْدِيَكَ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشٰىۚ
Those Who Pull Out/79:24 "He said, "I am your Lord, the Most High."
فَقَالَ اَنَا۬ رَبُّكُمُ الْاَعْلٰىۘ
Those Who Pull Out/79:25 In the end, Allah struck him with the punishment of the Hereafter and the world.
فَاَخَذَهُ اللّٰهُ نَكَالَ الْاٰخِرَةِ وَالْاُو۫لٰىۜ
