17-Surah Al-Isra ( The Night Journey ) 104
            
    And We said after Pharaoh to the Children of Israel, ‘ Dwell in the land, and when there comes the promise of the Hereafter, We will bring you forth in [one] gathering.’
    وَقُلْنَا مِن بَعْدِهِ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ اسْكُنُوا الْأَرْضَ فَإِذَا جَاءَ وَعْدُ الْآخِرَةِ جِئْنَا بِكُمْ لَفِيفًا


    Quran's Tafhim ( explanation)

    *117) This part of the story of Pharaoh has been related here because it applied exactly to the mushrIks of Makkah who were doing their worst to uproot the Holy Prophet and the Believers from the land of Arabia. This story, so to say, tells them, "Pharaoh resolved to uproot Moses and the Israelites but was himself completely annihilated along with his followers and Moses and his followers settled down in the land. Likewise, if you persist on the same way, you will surely meet with the same end. "
