  quote: ''
  summary: The passage closes one section with signs of God, warnings from the ruins
    of earlier peoples, and the destruction of unbelievers after ignored messengers.
    It then begins Sura XXVIII, recounting Pharaoh's oppression, God's favor toward
    the oppressed, the infant Moses being placed on the sea and adopted by Pharaoh's
    household, Moses' return to his mother through refusal of nurses, his growth in
    wisdom, his killing of an enemy during a fight, his repentance, and a warning
    that the nobles intend to kill him.
