Surah Ghafir 40:36



ﱼ ﱽ ﱾ ﱿ ﲀ ﲁ ﲂ ﲃ ﲄ

And Pharaoh said, "O Haman, construct for me a tower that I might reach the ways -

How Fir`awn mocked the Lord of Musa Allah tells,

وقال فرعون يا هامان ابن لي صرحا

And Fir`awn said: "O Haman! Build me a lofty tower Allah tells us of the arrogant and hostile defiance of Fir`awn and his rejection of Musa, when he commanded his minister Haman to build him a tower, i.e., a tall, high, strong fortress. He built it of bricks made from baked clay, as Allah says:

فٲوقد لى يهمن على الطين فاجعل لى صرحا

So kindle for me (a fire), O Haman, to bake (bricks out of) clay, and set up for me a lofty tower. (28:38)
