مِنْ فِرْعَوْنَ ۗاِنَّهٗ كَانَ عَالِيًا مِّنَ الْمُسْرِفِيْنَ ( الدخان: ٣١ )

وَلَقَدِ اخْتَرْنٰهُمْ عَلٰى عِلْمٍ عَلَى الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۚ ( الدخان: ٣٢ )
And We certainly chose them by knowledge over [all] the worlds.
وَاٰتَيْنٰهُمْ مِّنَ الْاٰيٰتِ مَا فِيْهِ بَلٰۤـؤٌا مُّبِيْنٌ ( الدخان: ٣٣ )
And We gave them of signs that in which there was a clear trial.
اِنَّ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ لَيَقُوْلُوْنَۙ ( الدخان: ٣٤ )
