Surat Al A`raf: (126-127)

{وَمَا تَنقِمُ مِنَّا إِلاَّ أَنْ آمَنَّا بِآيَاتِ رَبِّنَا لَمَّا جَاءتْنَا رَبَّنَا أَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْراً وَتَوَفَّنَا مُسْلِمِينَ} [الأعراف: 126]

126- You only refuse our faith in the Ayahs and signs of our Lord and His Miracles when they came to us. O Allah, provide us with patience on Your Religion and to be firm on it, and cause us to day as Muslims following the footsteps of Your Prophet Moses (peace be upon him).

{وَقَالَ الْمَلأُ مِن قَوْمِ فِرْعَونَ أَتَذَرُ مُوسَى وَقَوْمَهُ لِيُفْسِدُواْ فِي الأَرْضِ وَيَذَرَكَ وَآلِهَتَكَ قَالَ سَنُقَتِّلُ أَبْنَاءهُمْ وَنَسْتَحْيِـي نِسَاءهُمْ وَإِنَّا فَوْقَهُمْ قَاهِرُونَ} [الأعراف: 127]

127- The Pharaoh's counselors and leaders of army said to him after the outnumbering of Moses' followers: Would you leave Moses and his followers spread corruption in Egypt by calling your subjects to the worship of Allah and leaving your worship and the worship of your idols?! It was said that the Pharaoh made idols and commanded people to worship them to draw nearer to him. Others said something else.

The Pharaoh answered his retinue by saying: We will not leave them as such but we will do as previous nations did: We will kill their males and leave their females to humiliate them, and we will defeat them by this. Thereafter, they will not be able to spread corruption in the country while they are subjugated to our power.
