Al-Muzzammil 73:15–16
As We sent to Pharaoh
إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَيْكُمْ رَسُولًۭا شَٰهِدًا عَلَيْكُمْ كَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ رَسُولًۭا ١٥ فَعَصَىٰ فِرْعَوْنُ ٱلرَّسُولَ فَأَخَذْنَٰهُ أَخْذًۭا وَبِيلًۭا ١٦
The meaning, simply
We sent to you, people of Makkah, Muhammad, peace be upon him, as a messenger and a witness over you, just as We sent Moses, peace be upon him, to Pharaoh. Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger, so We destroyed him severely.

Think with me
Pharaoh disobeyed and was destroyed. Why do we obey the Messenger, peace be upon him?
