The Holy Quran 28:81 — Surah Al-Qasas

Arabic text

فَخَسَفْنَا بِهِۦ وَبِدَارِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ فَمَا كَانَ لَهُۥ مِن فِئَةٍ يَنصُرُونَهُۥ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنتَصِرِينَ

Translation

So We plunged (sank) Qaaroon and his home within the ground (the ground swallowed him up together with all his possessions). (When Allaah's punishment arrived,) There were no troops to assist him against (the punishment of) Allaah, nor could he assist himself (despite what he possessed).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
