We inspired your mother, saying,
Verse 39
“Put your child into the chest, then place him in the river. Let the river wash him on to its bank, and he will be taken in by an enemy of Mine and his.” I showered you with My love and planned that you should be reared under My watchful eye.
Verse 40
Your sister went out, saying, “I will tell you someone who will nurse him,” then We returned you to your mother so that she could rejoice and not grieve. Later you killed a man, but We saved you from distress and tried you with other tests. You stayed among the people of Midian for years, then you came here as I ordained.
Verse 41
ﮖﮗ
ﮘ
I have chosen you for Myself.
Verse 42
Go, you and your brother, with My signs, and make sure that you remember Me.
Verse 43
ﮢﮣﮤﮥﮦ
ﮧ
Go, both of you, to Pharaoh, for he has exceeded all bounds.
Verse 44
Speak to him gently so that he may take heed, or show respect.’
Verse 45
They said, ‘Lord, we fear he will do us great harm or exceed all bounds.’
Verse 46
He said, ‘Do not be afraid, I am with you both, hearing and seeing everything.
Verse 47
Go and tell him, “We are your Lord’s mes-sengers, so send the Children of Israel with us and do not oppress them. We have brought you a sign from your Lord. Peace be upon whoever follows the right guidance;
Verse 48
it has been revealed to us that punishment falls on whoever rejects the truth and turns his back on it.”’
Verse 49
ﰉﰊﰋﰌ
ﰍ
[Pharaoh] said, ‘Moses, who is this Lord of yours?’
Verse 50
Moses said, ‘Our Lord is He who gave everything its form, then gave it guidance.’
Verse 51
ﰘﰙﰚﰛﰜ
ﰝ
He said, ‘What about former generations?’
Verse 52
Moses said, ‘My Lord alone has knowledge of them, all in a record; my Lord does not err or forget.’
Verse 53
It was He who spread out the earth for you and traced routes in it. He sent down water from the sky. With that water We bring forth every kind of plant,
Verse 54
so eat, and graze your cattle. There are truly signs in all this for people of understand-ing.
Verse 55
From the earth We created you, into it We shall return you, and from it We shall raise you a second time.
Verse 56
ﮇﮈﮉﮊﮋﮌ
ﮍ
We showed Pharaoh all Our signs, but he denied them and refused [to change].
Verse 57
He said, ‘Have you come to drive us from our land with your sorcery, Moses?
Verse 58
We will confront you with sorcery to match your own: make an appointment between us which neither of us will fail to keep, in a mutually agreeable place.’
Verse 59
He said, ‘Your meeting will be on the day of the feast, so let the people be assembled when the sun has risen high.’
Verse 60
ﮮﮯﮰﮱﯓﯔ
ﯕ
Pharaoh withdrew and gathered his resources, then he returned.
Verse 61
Moses said to them, ‘Beware, do not invent lies against God or He will destroy you with His punishment. Whoever invents lies will fail.’
Verse 62
ﯧﯨﯩﯪﯫ
ﯬ
So they discussed their plan among themselves, talking secretly,
Verse 63
saying, ‘These two men are sorcerers. Their purpose is to drive you out of your land with their sorcery and put an end to your time-honoured way of life.
Verse 64
So gather your resources and line up for the contest. Whoever wins today is sure to prosper.’
Verse 65
They said, ‘Moses, will you throw first or shall we?’
Verse 66
‘You throw,’ said Moses, and––lo and behold!––through their sorcery, their ropes and staffs seemed to him to be moving.
Verse 67
ﭫﭬﭭﭮﭯ
ﭰ
Moses was inwardly alarmed,
Verse 68
ﭱﭲﭳﭴﭵﭶ
ﭷ
but We said, ‘Do not be afraid, you have the upper hand.
Verse 69
Throw down what is in your right hand: it will swallow up what they have produced. They have only produced the tricks of a sorcerer, and a sorcerer will not prosper, wherever he goes.’
Verse 70
[So it was, and] the sorcerers threw themselves down in submission. ‘We believe,’ they said, ‘in the Lord of Aaron and Moses.’
Verse 71
Pharaoh said, ‘How dare you believe in him before I have given you permission? This must be your master, the man who taught you witchcraft. I shall certainly cut off your alternate hands and feet, then crucify you on the trunks of palm trees. You will know for certain which of us has the fiercer and more lasting punishment.’
Verse 72
They said, ‘We shall never prefer you to the clear sign that has come to us, nor to Him who created us. So decide whatever you will: you can only decide matters of this present life-
Verse 73
we believe in our Lord, [hoping] He may forgive us our sins and the sorcery that you forced us to practise- God is better and more lasting.’
Verse 74
Hell will be the reward of those who return to their Lord as evildoers: there they will stay, neither living nor dying.
Verse 75
But those who return to their Lord as believers with righteous deeds will be rewarded with the highest of ranks,
Verse 76
Gardens of lasting bliss graced with flowing streams, and there they will stay. Such is the reward of those who purify themselves.
Verse 77
We revealed to Moses, ‘Go out at night with My servants and strike a dry path for them across the sea. Have no fear of being overtaken and do not be dismayed.’
Verse 78
Pharaoh pursued them with his armies and was overwhelmed by the sea.
Verse 79
ﭭﭮﭯﭰﭱ
ﭲ
Pharaoh truly led his people astray; he did not guide them.
Verse 80
Children of Israel, We rescued you from your enemies. We made a pledge with you on the right-hand side of the mountain. We sent down manna and quails for you,
Verse 81
‘Eat from the good things We have provided for you, but do not overstep the bounds, or My wrath will descend on you. Anyone on whom My wrath descends has truly fallen.
Verse 82
Yet I am most forgiving towards those who repent, believe, do righteous deeds, and stay on the right path.’
Verse 83
ﮟﮠﮡﮢﮣﮤ
ﮥ
[God said], ‘Moses, what has made you come ahead of your people in such haste?’
Verse 84
and he said, ‘They are following in my footsteps. I rushed to You, Lord, to please You,’
Verse 85
but God said, ‘We have tested your people in your absence: the Samiri has led them astray.’
Verse 86
Moses returned to his people, angry and aggrieved. He said, ‘My people, did your Lord not make you a gracious promise? Was my absence too long for you? Did you want anger to fall on you from your Lord and so broke your word to me?’
Verse 87
They said, ‘We did not break our word to you deliberately. We were burdened with the weight of people’s jewellery, so we threw it [into the fire], and the Samiri did the same,’
Verse 88
but he [used the molten jewellery to] produce an image of a calf which made a lowing sound, and they said, ‘This is your god and Moses’ god, but he has forgotten.’
Verse 89
Did they not see that [the calf] gave them no answer, that it had no power to harm or benefit them?
Verse 90
Aaron did say to them, ‘My people, this calf is a test for you. Your true Lord is the Lord of Mercy, so follow me and obey my orders,’
Verse 91
but they replied, ‘We shall not give up our devotion to it until Moses returns to us.’
Verse 92
Moses said, ‘When you realized they had gone astray, what prevented you, Aaron,
Verse 93
ﮏﮐﮑﮒﮓ
ﮔ
from coming after me? How could you disobey my orders?’
Verse 94
He said, ‘Son of my mother- let go of my beard and my hair!- I was afraid you would say, “You have caused division among the children of Israel and have not heeded what I said.”’
Verse 95
ﮩﮪﮫﮬ
ﮭ
Moses said, ‘And what was the matter with you, Samiri?’
Verse 96
He replied, ‘I saw something they did not; I took in some of the teachings of the Messenger but tossed them aside: my soul prompted me to do what I did.’
Verse 97
Moses said, ‘Get away from here! Your lot in this life is to say, “Do not touch me,” but you have an appointment from which there is no escape. Look at your god which you have kept on worshipping- we shall grind it down and scatter it into the sea.
Verse 98
[People], your true god is the One God- there is no god but Him- whose knowledge embraces everything.’
Verse 99
In this way We relate to you [Prophet] stories of what happened before. We have given you a Quran from Us.
Verse 100
Whoever turns away from it will bear on the Day of Resurrection a heavy burden
Verse 101
and will remain under it. What a terrible burden to carry on that Day!
Verse 102
When the trumpet is sounded and We gather the sinful, sightless,
Verse 103
ﭼﭽﭾﭿﮀﮁ
ﮂ
they will murmur to one another, ‘You stayed only ten days [on earth]’-
Verse 104
We know best what they say- but the more perceptive of them will say, ‘Your stay [on earth] was only a single day.’
Verse 105
They ask you [Prophet] about the mountains: say, ‘[On that Day] my Lord will blast them into dust
Verse 106
ﮘﮙﮚ
ﮛ
and leave a flat plain,
Verse 107
ﮜﮝﮞﮟﮠﮡ
ﮢ
with no peak or trough to be seen.
Verse 108
On that Day, people will follow the summoner from whom there is no escape; every voice will be hushed for the Lord of Mercy; only whispers will be heard.
Verse 109
On that Day, intercession will be useless except from those to whom the Lord of Mercy has granted permission and whose words He approves-
Verse 110
He knows what is before and behind them, though they do not comprehend Him-
Verse 111
and [all] faces will be humbled before the Living, Ever Watchful One. Those burdened with evil deeds will despair,
Verse 112
but whoever has done righteous deeds and believed need have no fear of injustice or deprivation.’
Verse 113
We have sent the Quran down in the Arabic tongue and given all kinds of warnings in it, so that they may beware or take heed-
Verse 114
exalted be God, the one who is truly in control. [Prophet], do not rush to recite before the revelation is fully complete but say, ‘Lord, increase me in knowledge!’
Verse 115
We also commanded Adam before you, but he forgot and We found him lacking in constancy.
Verse 116
When We said to the angels, ‘Bow down before Adam,’ they did. But Iblis refused,
Verse 117
so We said, ‘Adam, this is your enemy, yours and your wife’s: do not let him drive you out of the garden and make you miserable.
Verse 118
In the garden you will never go hungry, feel naked,
Verse 119
ﮐﮑﮒﮓﮔﮕ
ﮖ
be thirsty, or suffer the heat of the sun.’
Verse 120
But Satan whispered to Adam, saying, ‘Adam, shall I show you the tree of immortality and power that never decays?’
Verse 121
and they both ate from it. They became conscious of their nakedness and began to cover themselves with leaves from the garden. Adam disobeyed his Lord and was led astray-
Verse 122
ﯗﯘﯙﯚﯛﯜ
ﯝ
later his Lord brought him close, accepted his repentance, and guided him-
Verse 123
God said, ‘Get out of the garden as each other’s enemy.’ Whoever follows My guidance, when it comes to you [people], will not go astray nor fall into misery,
Verse 124
but whoever turns away from it will have a life of great hardship. We shall bring him blind to the Assembly on the Day of Resurrection
Verse 125
and he will say, ‘Lord, why did You bring me here blind? I was sighted before!’
Verse 126
God will say, ‘This is how it is: You ignored Our revelations when they came to you, so today you will be ignored.’
Verse 127
This is how We reward those who go too far, and who do not believe in their Lord’s revelations. The greatest and most enduring punishment is in the Hereafter.
Verse 128
Do they not draw a lesson from the many generations We destroyed before them, through whose dwelling places they now walk? There truly are signs in this for anyone with understanding!
Verse 129
If it were not for a preordained Word from your Lord [Prophet], they would already have been destroyed. Their time has been set,
Verse 130
so [Prophet] be patient with what they say- celebrate the praise of your Lord, before the rising and setting of the sun, celebrate His praise during the night, and at the beginning and end of the day, so that you may find contentment-
Verse 131
and do not gaze longingly at what We have given some of them to enjoy, the finery of this present life: We test them through this, but the provision of your Lord is better and more lasting.
Verse 132
Order your people to pray, and pray steadfastly yourself. We are not asking you to give Us provision;We provide for you, and the rewards of the Hereafter belong to the devout.
Verse 133
The disbelievers say, ‘Why does he not bring us a sign from his Lord?’ Have they not been given clear proof confirming what was in the earlier scriptures?
Verse 134
If We had destroyed them through punishment before this Messenger came, they would have said, ‘Lord, if only You had sent us a messenger, we could have followed Your revelations before we suffered humiliation and disgrace!’
Verse 135
[Prophet], say, ‘We are all waiting, so you carry on waiting: you will come to learn who has followed the even path, and been rightly guided.’
