The confrontation between Moses and Aaron on the one hand and the Pharaoh and his sorcerers on the other is one of the most frequently referenced narrative episodes in the Koran and is repeatedly taken up as a motif, here in 26: 36–51; see. Moses in Islam . Sura 26:49 names the crucifixion as punishment .

Sura 26:95 speaks of the hosts of Iblis .

Sura 26,105–122 is about Noah .

Sura 26: 193–195 is about the Archangel Gabriel .

In the Koran there is a separate, critical section dedicated to the old Arabic poets who mostly believe in fate. The last four verses of Sura 26 (26: 224–227) equate them with fortune tellers and those wandering aimlessly who are possessed by jinn or even Satan himself and who misuse their influence on tribal life.
