Quran 28:39 — History (Al-Qasas)

وَاستَكبَرَ هُوَ وَجُنودُهُ فِى الأَرضِ بِغَيرِ الحَقِّ وَظَنّوا أَنَّهُم إِلَينا لا يُرجَعونَ

Thus, he and his troops continued to commit arrogance on earth, without any right, and thought that they would not be returned to us.

[28:38] Pharaoh said, "O you elders, I have not known of any god for you other than me. Therefore, fire the adobe, O Hamaan, in order to build a tower, that I may take a look at the god of Moses. I am sure that he is a liar."

[28:40] Consequently, we punished him and his troops, by throwing them into the sea. Note the consequences for the transgressors.
