TaaHaa

مَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِتَشْقَىٰٓ

We did not reveal this Quran to you to cause you hardship.

إِلَّا تَذْكِرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰ

It is only a reminder to the reverent.

تَنزِيلًا مِّمَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ ٱلْعُلَى

It is a revelation from The One who created matter and the high vacua.

ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱسْتَوَىٰ

The All Gracious, He balanced the dominion.

لَهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَمَا تَحْتَ ٱلثَّرَىٰ

To Him belong everything in the vacua and matter and what is between them and what is underneath them.

وَإِن تَجْهَرْ بِٱلْقَوْلِ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلسِّرَّ وَأَخْفَى

Any statement you make, He knows the secret thereof and what is even more hidden.

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَهُ ٱلْأَسْمَآءُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ

God, there is no god except He, to Him belong the most beautiful names.

وَهَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ

And have you received the history of Moses?

إِذْ رَءَا نَارًا فَقَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ ٱمْكُثُوٓا۟ إِنِّىٓ ءَانَسْتُ نَارًا لَّعَلِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم مِّنْهَا بِقَبَسٍ أَوْ أَجِدُ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ هُدًى

When he saw a fire, he then said to his family; stay put, I have seen a fire, maybe I will bring back part of it or I find guidance by the fire.

فَلَمَّآ أَتَىٰهَا نُودِىَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ

When he reached it, he was called; O Moses –

إِنِّىٓ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكَ فَٱخْلَعْ نَعْلَيْكَ إِنَّكَ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى

– I am indeed your Lord; therefore, take off your shoes, you are indeed in the sacred plain of Towa.

وَأَنَا ٱخْتَرْتُكَ فَٱسْتَمِعْ لِمَا يُوحَىٰٓ

And I have chosen you, therefore, listen to what is being inspired.

إِنَّنِىٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱعْبُدْنِى وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ لِذِكْرِىٓ

I am indeed God, there is no other god except Me, you shall, then, worship Me and observe the contact prayer to commemorate Me.

إِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٌ أَكَادُ أُخْفِيهَا لِتُجْزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا تَسْعَىٰ

The Hour is surely coming; I will keep it almost secret, in order to reward every soul for her effort.

فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكَ عَنْهَا مَن لَّا يُؤْمِنُ بِهَا وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ فَتَرْدَىٰ

Therefore, do not be diverted from it by the one who does not believe in it and follows his own desire, lest you will fail.

وَمَا تِلْكَ بِيَمِينِكَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ

And what is that in your right hand, O Moses?

قَالَ هِىَ عَصَاىَ أَتَوَكَّؤُا۟ عَلَيْهَا وَأَهُشُّ بِهَا عَلَىٰ غَنَمِى وَلِىَ فِيهَا مَـَٔارِبُ أُخْرَىٰ

He said, it is my staff, I lean on it, I herd my sheep with it and perform other tasks with it.

قَالَ أَلْقِهَا يَـٰمُوسَىٰ

He said; throw it down O Moses.

فَأَلْقَىٰهَا فَإِذَا هِىَ حَيَّةٌ تَسْعَىٰ

Once he threw it, it became alive, moving.

قَالَ خُذْهَا وَلَا تَخَفْ سَنُعِيدُهَا سِيرَتَهَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ

He said; grab it and do not be afraid, We will bring it back to its original nature.

وَٱضْمُمْ يَدَكَ إِلَىٰ جَنَاحِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَآءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوٓءٍ ءَايَةً أُخْرَىٰ

And put your hand in your pocket, it will come out white without any ill, another sign.

لِنُرِيَكَ مِنْ ءَايَـٰتِنَا ٱلْكُبْرَى

This is in order to show you some of Our great signs.

ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ

Go to Pharaoh, for he has indeed rebelled.

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱشْرَحْ لِى صَدْرِى

He said; Lord, cool my temper.

وَيَسِّرْ لِىٓ أَمْرِى

And ease my task.

وَٱحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِّن لِّسَانِى

And untie the knot from my tongue –

يَفْقَهُوا۟ قَوْلِى

-so that they may be able to understand me.

وَٱجْعَل لِّى وَزِيرًا مِّنْ أَهْلِى

And appoint an assistant for me from my family –

هَـٰرُونَ أَخِى

– Aaron, my brother.

ٱشْدُدْ بِهِۦٓ أَزْرِى

Strengthen me with him.

وَأَشْرِكْهُ فِىٓ أَمْرِى

And make him a partner in my affairs.

كَىْ نُسَبِّحَكَ كَثِيرًا

So that we may glorify You a lot.

وَنَذْكُرَكَ كَثِيرًا

And commemorate You a lot.

إِنَّكَ كُنتَ بِنَا بَصِيرًا

Indeed You are All Seer over us.

قَالَ قَدْ أُوتِيتَ سُؤْلَكَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ

He said; I am granting you your request, O Moses.

وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَيْكَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَىٰٓ

And We indeed blessed you another time, –

إِذْ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّكَ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ

-when We inspired your mother what We inspired.

أَنِ ٱقْذِفِيهِ فِى ٱلتَّابُوتِ فَٱقْذِفِيهِ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ فَلْيُلْقِهِ ٱلْيَمُّ بِٱلسَّاحِلِ يَأْخُذْهُ عَدُوٌّ لِّى وَعَدُوٌّ لَّهُۥ وَأَلْقَيْتُ عَلَيْكَ مَحَبَّةً مِّنِّى وَلِتُصْنَعَ عَلَىٰ عَيْنِىٓ

Put him in a box and throw him into the sea, it will come to the seashore and he will be picked up by an enemy of Mine and an enemy of his. And I showered you with love from Me and I have made you before My watchful eye.

إِذْ تَمْشِىٓ أُخْتُكَ فَتَقُولُ هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن يَكْفُلُهُۥ فَرَجَعْنَـٰكَ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّكَ كَىْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَ وَقَتَلْتَ نَفْسًا فَنَجَّيْنَـٰكَ مِنَ ٱلْغَمِّ وَفَتَنَّـٰكَ فُتُونًا فَلَبِثْتَ سِنِينَ فِىٓ أَهْلِ مَدْيَنَ ثُمَّ جِئْتَ عَلَىٰ قَدَرٍ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ

As your sister was walking she said; can I show you someone who could look after him? We thus returned you back to your mother in order to brighten her eyes and saved her from grief. And you killed a soul and We saved you from distress and We thoroughly tested you. Then you spent years with the Medians, and you exactly followed your destiny O Moses.

وَٱصْطَنَعْتُكَ لِنَفْسِى

And I chose you just for Me.

ٱذْهَبْ أَنتَ وَأَخُوكَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِى وَلَا تَنِيَا فِى ذِكْرِى

Go you and your brother with My signs and do not waver in commemorating Me.

ٱذْهَبَآ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ

The two of you shall go to Pharaoh, for he has indeed rebelled.

فَقُولَا لَهُۥ قَوْلًا لَّيِّنًا لَّعَلَّهُۥ يَتَذَكَّرُ أَوْ يَخْشَىٰ

The two of you shall talk to him in a soft manner that he may take heed or become reverent.

قَالَا رَبَّنَآ إِنَّنَا نَخَافُ أَن يَفْرُطَ عَلَيْنَآ أَوْ أَن يَطْغَىٰ

The two of them said; our Lord, we are indeed fearful that he may transgress against us or rebel.

قَالَ لَا تَخَافَآ إِنَّنِى مَعَكُمَآ أَسْمَعُ وَأَرَىٰ

He said, do not fear, I will indeed be with you both, listening and watching.

فَأْتِيَاهُ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولَا رَبِّكَ فَأَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ وَلَا تُعَذِّبْهُمْ قَدْ جِئْنَـٰكَ بِـَٔايَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكَ وَٱلسَّلَـٰمُ عَلَىٰ مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ

Then when both of you get there, tell him, indeed we are two messengers from your Lord, therefore, let the Children of Israel go with us and do not persecute them. We will indeed produce for you a sign from your Lord, and peace upon the one who follows the guidance.

إِنَّا قَدْ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْنَآ أَنَّ ٱلْعَذَابَ عَلَىٰ مَن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

We have indeed been inspired that suffering will be the lot of the one who rejects and turns away.

قَالَ فَمَن رَّبُّكُمَا يَـٰمُوسَىٰ

He said; who is the Lord of the two of you O Moses?

قَالَ رَبُّنَا ٱلَّذِىٓ أَعْطَىٰ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ خَلْقَهُۥ ثُمَّ هَدَىٰ

He said; our Lord is the One who granted everything its existence then guided.

قَالَ فَمَا بَالُ ٱلْقُرُونِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ

He said; what about the previous generations?

قَالَ عِلْمُهَا عِندَ رَبِّى فِى كِتَـٰبٍ لَّا يَضِلُّ رَبِّى وَلَا يَنسَى

He said, the knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a record. My Lord never errs nor does He ever forget.

ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ مَهْدًا وَسَلَكَ لَكُمْ فِيهَا سُبُلًا وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزْوَٰجًا مِّن نَّبَاتٍ شَتَّىٰ

He is the One who made the land an oasis for you and made roads for you therein and He sends down water from the sky, whereby We grow all kinds of plants .

كُلُوا۟ وَٱرْعَوْا۟ أَنْعَـٰمَكُمْ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّأُو۟لِى ٱلنُّهَىٰ

Eat and feed your livestock. Indeed, therein are signs for those who possess intelligence.

مِنْهَا خَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمْ وَمِنْهَا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تَارَةً أُخْرَىٰ

From it, We created you and to it We will return you and from it We will bring you out once more.

وَلَقَدْ أَرَيْنَـٰهُ ءَايَـٰتِنَا كُلَّهَا فَكَذَّبَ وَأَبَىٰ

And We indeed showed him all of Our signs, but he rejected and refused them all.

قَالَ أَجِئْتَنَا لِتُخْرِجَنَا مِنْ أَرْضِنَا بِسِحْرِكَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ

He said; did you come to evict us from our land with your magic O Moses?

فَلَنَأْتِيَنَّكَ بِسِحْرٍ مِّثْلِهِۦ فَٱجْعَلْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ مَوْعِدًا لَّا نُخْلِفُهُۥ نَحْنُ وَلَآ أَنتَ مَكَانًا سُوًى

We will therefore bring you similar magic, so go ahead and choose a venue for us and you that neither us nor you would violate, a neutral place.

قَالَ مَوْعِدُكُمْ يَوْمُ ٱلزِّينَةِ وَأَن يُحْشَرَ ٱلنَّاسُ ضُحًى

He said; the venue will be the day of festivities, when the people gather around by the forenoon.

فَتَوَلَّىٰ فِرْعَوْنُ فَجَمَعَ كَيْدَهُۥ ثُمَّ أَتَىٰ

Therefore, Pharaoh turned away, he put together all his schemes, then he showed up.

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰ وَيْلَكُمْ لَا تَفْتَرُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا فَيُسْحِتَكُم بِعَذَابٍ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ

Moses told them, woe to you; do not attribute lies to God otherwise you will end up suffering. And indeed failed the one who fabricated.

فَتَنَـٰزَعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَهُم بَيْنَهُمْ وَأَسَرُّوا۟ ٱلنَّجْوَىٰ

Then they debated the matter fiercely amongst themselves and had secret meetings.

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَـٰذَٰنِ لَسَـٰحِرَٰنِ يُرِيدَانِ أَن يُخْرِجَاكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِمَا وَيَذْهَبَا بِطَرِيقَتِكُمُ ٱلْمُثْلَىٰ

They said; these are a couple of magicians who want to evict you from your land with their magic and completely destroy your way of life.

فَأَجْمِعُوا۟ كَيْدَكُمْ ثُمَّ ٱئْتُوا۟ صَفًّا وَقَدْ أَفْلَحَ ٱلْيَوْمَ مَنِ ٱسْتَعْلَىٰ

Therefore, put together your scheme and come in a row. And indeed today success belongs to those who attain the upper hand.

قَالُوا۟ يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِمَّآ أَن تُلْقِىَ وَإِمَّآ أَن نَّكُونَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَلْقَىٰ

They said; O Moses either you throw or we throw first.

قَالَ بَلْ أَلْقُوا۟ فَإِذَا حِبَالُهُمْ وَعِصِيُّهُمْ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ مِن سِحْرِهِمْ أَنَّهَا تَسْعَىٰ

He said; you go ahead and throw. Then once they threw, their ropes and sticks, due to their magic, seemed to him to be indeed moving.

فَأَوْجَسَ فِى نَفْسِهِۦ خِيفَةً مُّوسَىٰ

Then, Moses felt fear inside himself.

قُلْنَا لَا تَخَفْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ

We said; do not fear, you will be exalted.

وَأَلْقِ مَا فِى يَمِينِكَ تَلْقَفْ مَا صَنَعُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا صَنَعُوا۟ كَيْدُ سَـٰحِرٍ وَلَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلسَّاحِرُ حَيْثُ أَتَىٰ

And throw what is in your right hand; it will swallow what they have fabricated. Indeed what they fabricated is no more than a magician’s trick. And the magicians will never succeed.

فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سُجَّدًا قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ هَـٰرُونَ وَمُوسَىٰ

Then the magicians fell prostrate, saying we believe in the Lord of Aaron and Moses.

قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ فَلَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَـٰفٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ فِى جُذُوعِ ٱلنَّخْلِ وَلَتَعْلَمُنَّ أَيُّنَآ أَشَدُّ عَذَابًا وَأَبْقَىٰ

He said, did you believe before I gave you the permission? Indeed your great one shall be the one who taught you magic. Therefore, I will cut off your hands and feet on the alternate sides and I will crucify you on the trunk of the palm tree and will surely teach you which one of us is more stern in inflicting punishment and which one is more lasting.

قَالُوا۟ لَن نُّؤْثِرَكَ عَلَىٰ مَا جَآءَنَا مِنَ ٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ وَٱلَّذِى فَطَرَنَا فَٱقْضِ مَآ أَنتَ قَاضٍ إِنَّمَا تَقْضِى هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَآ

They said; we were deeply touched by the proofs that have come our way and the One who initiated us. Then issue whatever judgment you wish to issue. Indeed your judgment is only for this worldly life.

إِنَّآ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّنَا لِيَغْفِرَ لَنَا خَطَـٰيَـٰنَا وَمَآ أَكْرَهْتَنَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلسِّحْرِ وَٱللَّهُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ

We indeed believed in our Lord so that He may forgive our mistakes, and the magic you forced us to produce. And God is far better and everlasting.

إِنَّهُۥ مَن يَأْتِ رَبَّهُۥ مُجْرِمًا فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ جَهَنَّمَ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ

Indeed whoever comes to his Lord guilty, then, indeed Gehenna is his lot wherein he never dies nor stays alive.

وَمَن يَأْتِهِۦ مُؤْمِنًا قَدْ عَمِلَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ ٱلدَّرَجَـٰتُ ٱلْعُلَىٰ

And those who come to Him as faithful while leading a righteous life, then reserved for them are exalted ranks.

جَنَّـٰتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا وَذَٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ

Gardens of Eden with flowing streams beneath them, they abide therein eternally. This is the reward for those who purified themselves.

وَلَقَدْ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى فَٱضْرِبْ لَهُمْ طَرِيقًا فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ يَبَسًا لَّا تَخَـٰفُ دَرَكًا وَلَا تَخْشَىٰ

And We indeed inspired Moses, take My servants out, then move them through a dry passage in the sea, and do not fear of getting caught and do not worry.

فَأَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ بِجُنُودِهِۦ فَغَشِيَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْيَمِّ مَا غَشِيَهُمْ

Then Pharaoh and his troops chased them, however, the sea covered them, what a covering!

وَأَضَلَّ فِرْعَوْنُ قَوْمَهُۥ وَمَا هَدَىٰ

And Pharaoh sent his people astray, he never guided them.

يَـٰبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ قَدْ أَنجَيْنَـٰكُم مِّنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ وَوَٰعَدْنَـٰكُمْ جَانِبَ ٱلطُّورِ ٱلْأَيْمَنَ وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْمَنَّ وَٱلسَّلْوَىٰ

O Children of Israel, We indeed saved you from your enemy and made a covenant with you by the blessed mountain and sent down for you manna and quail.

كُلُوا۟ مِن طَيِّبَـٰتِ مَا رَزَقْنَـٰكُمْ وَلَا تَطْغَوْا۟ فِيهِ فَيَحِلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ غَضَبِى وَمَن يَحْلِلْ عَلَيْهِ غَضَبِى فَقَدْ هَوَىٰ

Eat from the clean provision We have provided for you and do not transgress therein, lest you deserve My wrath, and whomever receives My wrath he has indeed fallen.

وَإِنِّى لَغَفَّارٌ لِّمَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًا ثُمَّ ٱهْتَدَىٰ

And I most assuredly forgive whoever repents, believes and leads a righteous life and remains guided.

وَمَآ أَعْجَلَكَ عَن قَوْمِكَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ

And what made you run away from your people in such a hurry O Moses?

قَالَ هُمْ أُو۟لَآءِ عَلَىٰٓ أَثَرِى وَعَجِلْتُ إِلَيْكَ رَبِّ لِتَرْضَىٰ

He said; they were close behind me and I rushed to You Lord to please You.

قَالَ فَإِنَّا قَدْ فَتَنَّا قَوْمَكَ مِنۢ بَعْدِكَ وَأَضَلَّهُمُ ٱلسَّامِرِىُّ

He said; We then indeed tested your people after you left and the Samarian misled them.

فَرَجَعَ مُوسَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ غَضْبَـٰنَ أَسِفًا قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ أَلَمْ يَعِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ وَعْدًا حَسَنًا أَفَطَالَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْعَهْدُ أَمْ أَرَدتُّمْ أَن يَحِلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ غَضَبٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ فَأَخْلَفْتُم مَّوْعِدِى

Afterwards, Moses returned to his people, angry and disappointed. He said; O my people, did your Lord not promise you a good promise? Could you not wait for the covenant or do you wish to bring upon yourselves your Lord’s wrath? You thus broke the agreement I made with you.

قَالُوا۟ مَآ أَخْلَفْنَا مَوْعِدَكَ بِمَلْكِنَا وَلَـٰكِنَّا حُمِّلْنَآ أَوْزَارًا مِّن زِينَةِ ٱلْقَوْمِ فَقَذَفْنَـٰهَا فَكَذَٰلِكَ أَلْقَى ٱلسَّامِرِىُّ

They said; we did not break our agreement with you on our own, however, we were loaded with jewelry, then, we threw them into a pile, as the Samarian suggested.

فَأَخْرَجَ لَهُمْ عِجْلًا جَسَدًا لَّهُۥ خُوَارٌ فَقَالُوا۟ هَـٰذَآ إِلَـٰهُكُمْ وَإِلَـٰهُ مُوسَىٰ فَنَسِىَ

He then produced a statue of a calf with a sound and said; this is your lord and the lord of Moses; he therefore completely forgot.

أَفَلَا يَرَوْنَ أَلَّا يَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِمْ قَوْلًا وَلَا يَمْلِكُ لَهُمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا

Did they not see that it cannot respond to them nor does it possess any power to harm or benefit them?

وَلَقَدْ قَالَ لَهُمْ هَـٰرُونُ مِن قَبْلُ يَـٰقَوْمِ إِنَّمَا فُتِنتُم بِهِۦ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ فَٱتَّبِعُونِى وَأَطِيعُوٓا۟ أَمْرِى

And indeed Aaron also told them previously, O my people you are being tested with this, and indeed your Lord is The All Gracious, therefore follow me and obey my commands.

قَالُوا۟ لَن نَّبْرَحَ عَلَيْهِ عَـٰكِفِينَ حَتَّىٰ يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ

They said; we will remain devoted to it until Moses returns to us.

قَالَ يَـٰهَـٰرُونُ مَا مَنَعَكَ إِذْ رَأَيْتَهُمْ ضَلُّوٓا۟

He said; O Aaron what held you back when you saw them going astray.

أَلَّا تَتَّبِعَنِ أَفَعَصَيْتَ أَمْرِى

Did you not obey? Have you rebelled against me?

قَالَ يَبْنَؤُمَّ لَا تَأْخُذْ بِلِحْيَتِى وَلَا بِرَأْسِىٓ إِنِّى خَشِيتُ أَن تَقُولَ فَرَّقْتَ بَيْنَ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ وَلَمْ تَرْقُبْ قَوْلِى

He said; O son of my mother do not take me with my beard and my head. I was afraid if I said anything, you would say that I have divided the Children of Israel and you would not like my words.

قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكَ يَـٰسَـٰمِرِىُّ

He said; what do you have to say for yourself O Samarian?

قَالَ بَصُرْتُ بِمَا لَمْ يَبْصُرُوا۟ بِهِۦ فَقَبَضْتُ قَبْضَةً مِّنْ أَثَرِ ٱلرَّسُولِ فَنَبَذْتُهَا وَكَذَٰلِكَ سَوَّلَتْ لِى نَفْسِى

He said, I could see what they did not see. I then picked up a handful from the messenger’s place and mixed it in, and so seduced me my ego.

قَالَ فَٱذْهَبْ فَإِنَّ لَكَ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ أَن تَقُولَ لَا مِسَاسَ وَإِنَّ لَكَ مَوْعِدًا لَّن تُخْلَفَهُۥ وَٱنظُرْ إِلَىٰٓ إِلَـٰهِكَ ٱلَّذِى ظَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ عَاكِفًا لَّنُحَرِّقَنَّهُۥ ثُمَّ لَنَنسِفَنَّهُۥ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ نَسْفًا

He said; go then and indeed in this life you announce yourself as an outcast, and indeed there is a promise awaiting you that will not be broken. And watch your god whom you were so devoted to, we will indeed set it ablaze and throw it into the sea.

إِنَّمَآ إِلَـٰهُكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَسِعَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ عِلْمًا

Indeed your only god is God, the One, there is no other god besides Him. His knowledge encompasses all things.

كَذَٰلِكَ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَنۢبَآءِ مَا قَدْ سَبَقَ وَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَـٰكَ مِن لَّدُنَّا ذِكْرًا

We thus narrate news from the past. And indeed We have given you a reminder from Our special place.

مَّنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَحْمِلُ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ وِزْرًا

Whoever turns away from it, then, indeed he will carry his sins on the Day of Resurrection.

خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهِ وَسَآءَ لَهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ حِمْلًا

Eternity is upon them and miserable indeed is their load on the Day of Resurrection.

يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ وَنَحْشُرُ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ يَوْمَئِذٍ زُرْقًا

The day the trumpet sounds, We will gather the guilty on that day blind.

يَتَخَـٰفَتُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا عَشْرًا

They whisper to each other, we lasted only ten.

نَّحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ إِذْ يَقُولُ أَمْثَلُهُمْ طَرِيقَةً إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا يَوْمًا

We know full well what they say. The most accurate one would say you only lasted a day.

وَيَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلْجِبَالِ فَقُلْ يَنسِفُهَا رَبِّى نَسْفًا

And they ask you about the mountains; say, my Lord wipes them out completely.

فَيَذَرُهَا قَاعًا صَفْصَفًا

And then leave them completely leveled.

لَّا تَرَىٰ فِيهَا عِوَجًا وَلَآ أَمْتًا

You will not see any dips or mounds.

يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَّبِعُونَ ٱلدَّاعِىَ لَا عِوَجَ لَهُۥ وَخَشَعَتِ ٱلْأَصْوَاتُ لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ فَلَا تَسْمَعُ إِلَّا هَمْسًا

On that day every one will follow the caller without the least deviation and all voices are silenced for The All Gracious; you will then not hear anything but whispers.

يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا تَنفَعُ ٱلشَّفَـٰعَةُ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَرَضِىَ لَهُۥ قَوْلًا

On that day no intercession will be beneficial, except for the one that The All Gracious permits and his utterance is pleasing to Him.

يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِهِۦ عِلْمًا

He knows their pasts and their futures and their knowledge never surpasses His.

وَعَنَتِ ٱلْوُجُوهُ لِلْحَىِّ ٱلْقَيُّومِ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنْ حَمَلَ ظُلْمًا

And all faces are fixed towards The Living, The Eternal, and indeed failed the one who committed injustice.

وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَا يَخَافُ ظُلْمًا وَلَا هَضْمًا

As for the one who leads a righteous life and he is faithful, then he suffers no injustice and no humiliation.

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ قُرْءَانًا عَرَبِيًّا وَصَرَّفْنَا فِيهِ مِنَ ٱلْوَعِيدِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ أَوْ يُحْدِثُ لَهُمْ ذِكْرًا

And We thus revealed it an Arabic Quran and cited prophesies therein that they may fear god or to serve as a collection of reminders for them.

فَتَعَـٰلَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلْحَقُّ وَلَا تَعْجَلْ بِٱلْقُرْءَانِ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يُقْضَىٰٓ إِلَيْكَ وَحْيُهُۥ وَقُل رَّبِّ زِدْنِى عِلْمًا

Therefore, the Exalted One is God, the true King. And do not rush the Quran before His inspiration comes to you and say, Lord, increase my knowledge.

وَلَقَدْ عَهِدْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ ءَادَمَ مِن قَبْلُ فَنَسِىَ وَلَمْ نَجِدْ لَهُۥ عَزْمًا

And indeed We made an agreement with Adam previously, he then forgot, We did not find him resolute.

وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِـَٔادَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰ

And when We said to the angels, honor Adam, they all did, except Iblis who refused.

فَقُلْنَا يَـٰٓـَٔادَمُ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا عَدُوٌّ لَّكَ وَلِزَوْجِكَ فَلَا يُخْرِجَنَّكُمَا مِنَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ فَتَشْقَىٰٓ

We then said; O Adam, indeed he is an enemy of you and your wife, he would cause your eviction from Paradise and you will suffer hardship.

إِنَّ لَكَ أَلَّا تَجُوعَ فِيهَا وَلَا تَعْرَىٰ

Indeed you will never suffer hunger therein nor will you ever be naked.

وَأَنَّكَ لَا تَظْمَؤُا۟ فِيهَا وَلَا تَضْحَىٰ

And indeed you will never thirst therein and never suffer the heat of the sun.

فَوَسْوَسَ إِلَيْهِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ قَالَ يَـٰٓـَٔادَمُ هَلْ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَىٰ شَجَرَةِ ٱلْخُلْدِ وَمُلْكٍ لَّا يَبْلَىٰ

Then Satan enticed them saying; O Adam shall I show you the tree of eternity and everlasting kingship?

فَأَكَلَا مِنْهَا فَبَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْءَٰتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخْصِفَانِ عَلَيْهِمَا مِن وَرَقِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ وَعَصَىٰٓ ءَادَمُ رَبَّهُۥ فَغَوَىٰ

Then they both ate from it, whereupon their bodies became visible to them and they tried to cover themselves with the leaves of Paradise. And Adam disobeyed his Lord and he then became a transgressor.

ثُمَّ ٱجْتَبَـٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَتَابَ عَلَيْهِ وَهَدَىٰ

Then his Lord chose him, accepted his repentance and guided him.

قَالَ ٱهْبِطَا مِنْهَا جَمِيعًۢا بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ فَإِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُم مِّنِّى هُدًى فَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ هُدَاىَ فَلَا يَضِلُّ وَلَا يَشْقَىٰ

He said the two of you get out therefrom with the rest as enemies of one another. Therefore, when guidance comes to you from Me, then whoever follows My guidance, he will never go astray nor will he suffer any hardship.

وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِى فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُۥ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ أَعْمَىٰ

And whoever rejects My reminder, he will then surely have a life of hardship, and We will summon him on the Day of Resurrection blind.

قَالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرْتَنِىٓ أَعْمَىٰ وَقَدْ كُنتُ بَصِيرًا

He said, Lord why did you summon me blind when I used to be a seer.

قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ أَتَتْكَ ءَايَـٰتُنَا فَنَسِيتَهَا وَكَذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ تُنسَىٰ

He said; because when Our proofs came to you, you chose to ignore them, and you are thus ignored today.

وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى مَنْ أَسْرَفَ وَلَمْ يُؤْمِنۢ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ رَبِّهِۦ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ أَشَدُّ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ

And We thus requite the one who transgresses and does not believe in the signs of his Lord. And indeed the suffering of the Hereafter is far more severe and everlasting.

أَفَلَمْ يَهْدِ لَهُمْ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ يَمْشُونَ فِى مَسَـٰكِنِهِمْ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّأُو۟لِى ٱلنُّهَىٰ

Do they not realize that We annihilated generations before them in whose dwellings they walk? Indeed, in this there are signs for those who possess intelligence.

وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَكَانَ لِزَامًا وَأَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّى

And if it were not for a predetermined word of your Lord, their interim would have been definitely over.

فَٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ ٱلشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا وَمِنْ ءَانَآئِ ٱلَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْ وَأَطْرَافَ ٱلنَّهَارِ لَعَلَّكَ تَرْضَىٰ

Therefore, be patient in the face of their utterances, and glorify and praise your Lord, before sunrise and before sunset and also glorify during the night and during the day that you may be pleased.

وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزْوَٰجًا مِّنْهُمْ زَهْرَةَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ وَرِزْقُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ

And do not fix your eyes on what We have bestowed on others from the vanities of this worldly life; it is to test them therewith. As for your Lord’s provision, it is far better and everlasting.

وَأْمُرْ أَهْلَكَ بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱصْطَبِرْ عَلَيْهَا لَا نَسْـَٔلُكَ رِزْقًا نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُكَ وَٱلْعَـٰقِبَةُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ

And encourage your family to observe the contact prayers and insist upon it. We do not ask you for any provision, We provide for you. And the reward belongs to those who are god-fearing.

وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْلَا يَأْتِينَا بِـَٔايَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦٓ أَوَلَمْ تَأْتِهِم بَيِّنَةُ مَا فِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ

They also said, if only he brings us a proof from his Lord. Did the proofs described in previous scripture not come to them?

وَلَوْ أَنَّآ أَهْلَكْنَـٰهُم بِعَذَابٍ مِّن قَبْلِهِۦ لَقَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَا لَوْلَآ أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولًا فَنَتَّبِعَ ءَايَـٰتِكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن نَّذِلَّ وَنَخْزَىٰ

And had We afflicted them with a suffering prior to this, they would have indeed said; our Lord, had You sent us a messenger, we would have then followed your signs before becoming debased and humiliated.

قُلْ كُلٌّ مُّتَرَبِّصٌ فَتَرَبَّصُوا۟ فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلصِّرَٰطِ ٱلسَّوِىِّ وَمَنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ

Say, we all wait, therefore you should wait too. You will then soon find out who follows the straight path and is guided.
