[And We favored you] when your sister went and said, 'Shall I direct you to someone who will be responsible for him?' So We restored you to your mother that she might be content and not grieve.

Then you came [here] at the decreed time, O Moses

Go, both of you, to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed

[It is He] who has made for you the earth as a bed [spread out] and inserted therein for you roadways and sent down from the sky, rain and produced thereby categories of various plants

He said, "Have you come to us to drive us out of our land with your magic, O Moses

Falanatiyannaka bisihrin mithlihi faijAAal baynana wabaynaka mawAAidan la nukhlifuhu nahnu wala anta makanan suwan

Then we will surely bring you magic like it, so make between us and you an appointment, which we will not fail to keep and neither will you, in a place assigned

Qala mawAAidukum yawmu alzzeenati waan yuhshara alnnasu duhan

[Moses] said, "Your appointment is on the day of the festival when the people assemble at mid-morning

Fatawalla firAAawnu fajamaAAa kaydahu thumma ata

So Pharaoh went away, put together his plan, and then came [to Moses]

Qala lahum moosa waylakum la taftaroo AAala Allahi kathiban fayushitakum biAAathabin waqad khaba mani iftara

Moses said to the magicians summoned by Pharaoh, "Woe to you! Do not invent a lie against Allah or He will exterminate you with a punishment; and he has failed who invents [such falsehood]

FatanazaAAoo amrahum baynahum waasarroo alnnajwa

So they disputed over their affair among themselves and concealed their private conversation

Qaloo in hathani lasahirani yureedani an yukhrijakum min ardikum bisihrihima wayathhaba bitareeqatikumu almuthla

They said, "Indeed, these are two magicians who want to drive you out of your land with their magic and do away with your most exemplary way

FaajmiAAoo kaydakum thumma itoo saffan waqad aflaha alyawma mani istaAAla

So resolve upon your plan and then come [forward] in line. And he has succeeded today who overcomes

Qaloo ya moosa imma an tulqiya waimma an nakoona awwala man alqa

They said, "O Moses, either you throw or we will be the first to throw

Qala bal alqoo faitha hibaluhum waAAisiyyuhum yukhayyalu ilayhi min sihrihim annaha tasAAa

He said, "Rather, you throw." And suddenly their ropes and staffs seemed to him from their magic that they were moving [like snakes]

Faawjasa fee nafsihi kheefatan moosa

And he sensed within himself apprehension, did Moses

Qulna la takhaf innaka anta alaAAla

Allah said, "Fear not. Indeed, it is you who are superior

Waalqi ma fee yameenika talqaf ma sanaAAoo innama sanaAAoo kaydu sahirin wala yuflihu alssahiru haythu ata

And throw what is in your right hand; it will swallow up what they have crafted. What they have crafted is but the trick of a magician, and the magician will not succeed wherever he is

Faolqiya alssaharatu sujjadan qaloo amanna birabbi haroona wamoosa

So the magicians fell down in prostration. They said, "We have believed in the Lord of Aaron and Moses

Qala amantum lahu qabla an athana lakum innahu lakabeerukumu allathee AAallamakumu alssihra falaoqattiAAanna aydiyakum waarjulakum min khilafin walaosallibannakum fee juthooAAi alnnakhli walataAAlamunna ayyuna ashaddu AAathaban waabqa

[Pharaoh] said, "You believed him before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic. So I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you on the trunks of palm trees, and you will surely know which of us is more severe in [giving] punishment and more enduring

Qaloo lan nuthiraka AAala ma jaana mina albayyinati waallathee fatarana faiqdi ma anta qadin innama taqdee hathihi alhayata alddunya

They said, "Never will we prefer you over what has come to us of clear proofs and [over] He who created us. So decree whatever you are to decree. You can only decree for this worldly life

Inna amanna birabbina liyaghfira lana khatayana wama akrahtana AAalayhi mina alssihri waAllahu khayrun waabqa

Indeed, we have believed in our Lord that He may forgive us our sins and what you compelled us [to do] of magic. And Allah is better and more enduring

Innahu man yati rabbahu mujriman fainna lahu jahannama la yamootu feeha wala yahya

Indeed, whoever comes to his Lord as a criminal - indeed, for him is Hell; he will neither die therein nor live

Waman yatihi muminan qad AAamila alssalihati faolaika lahumu alddarajatu alAAula

But whoever comes to Him as a believer having done righteous deeds - for those will be the highest degrees [in position]

Jannatu AAadnin tajree min tahtiha alanharu khalideena feeha wathalika jazao man tazakka

Gardens of perpetual residence beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. And that is the reward of one who purifies himself

Walaqad awhayna ila moosa an asri biAAibadee faidrib lahum tareeqan fee albahri yabasan la takhafu darakan wala takhsha

And We had inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants and strike for them a dry path through the sea; you will not fear being overtaken [by Pharaoh] nor be afraid [of drowning]

FaatbaAAahum firAAawnu bijunoodihi faghashiyahum mina alyammi ma ghashiyahum

So Pharaoh pursued them with his soldiers, and there covered them from the sea that which covered them

Waadalla firAAawnu qawmahu wama hada

And Pharaoh led his people astray and did not guide [them]

Ya banee israeela qad anjaynakum min AAaduwwikum wawaAAadnakum janiba alttoori alaymana wanazzalna AAalaykumu almanna waalssalwa

O Children of Israel, We delivered you from your enemy, and We made an appointment with you at the right side of the mount, and We sent down to you manna and quails

Kuloo min tayyibati ma razaqnakum wala tatghaw feehi fayahilla AAalaykum ghadabee waman yahlil AAalayhi ghadabee faqad hawa

[Saying], "Eat from the good things with which We have provided you and do not transgress [or oppress others] therein, lest My anger should descend upon you. And he upon whom My anger descends has certainly fallen

Wainnee laghaffarun liman taba waamana waAAamila salihan thumma ihtada

But indeed, I am the Perpetual Forgiver of whoever repents and believes and does righteousness and then continues in guidance

Wama aAAjalaka AAan qawmika ya moosa

[Allah] said, "And what made you hasten from your people, O Moses

Qala hum olai AAala atharee waAAajiltu ilayka rabbi litarda

He said, "They are close upon my tracks, and I hastened to You, my Lord, that You be pleased

Qala fainna qad fatanna qawmaka min baAAdika waadallahumu alssamiriyyu

[Allah] said, "But indeed, We have tried your people after you [departed], and the Samiri has led them astray

FarajaAAa moosa ila qawmihi ghadbana asifan qala ya qawmi alam yaAAidkum rabbukum waAAdan hasanan afatala AAalaykumu alAAahdu am aradtum an yahilla AAalaykum ghadabun min rabbikum faakhlaftum mawAAidee

So Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved. He said, "O my people, did your Lord not make you a good promise? Then, was the time [of its fulfillment] too long for you, or did you wish that wrath from your Lord descend upon you, so you broke your promise [of obedience] to me

Qaloo ma akhlafna mawAAidaka bimalkina walakinna hummilna awzaran min zeenati alqawmi faqathafnaha fakathalika alqa alssamiriyyu

They said, "We did not break our promise to you by our will, but we were made to carry burdens from the ornaments of the people [of Pharaoh], so we threw them [into the fire], and thus did the Samiri throw

Faakhraja lahum AAijlan jasadan lahu khuwarun faqaloo hatha ilahukum wailahu moosa fanasiya

And he extracted for them [the statue of] a calf which had a lowing sound, and they said, "This is your god and the god of Moses, but he forgot

Afala yarawna alla yarjiAAu ilayhim qawlan wala yamliku lahum darran wala nafAAan

Did they not see that it could not return to them any speech and that it did not possess for them any harm or benefit

Walaqad qala lahum haroonu min qablu ya qawmi innama futintum bihi wainna rabbakumu alrrahmanu faittabiAAoonee waateeAAoo amree

And Aaron had already told them before [the return of Moses], "O my people, you are only being tested by it, and indeed, your Lord is the Most Merciful, so follow me and obey my order

Qaloo lan nabraha AAalayhi AAakifeena hatta yarjiAAa ilayna moosa

They said, "We will never cease being devoted to the calf until Moses returns to us

Qala ya haroonu ma manaAAaka ith raaytahum dalloo

[Moses] said, "O Aaron, what prevented you, when you saw them going astray

Alla tattabiAAani afaAAasayta amree

From following me? Then have you disobeyed my order

Qala ya bna omma la takhuth bilihyatee wala birasee innee khasheetu an taqoola farraqta bayna banee israeela walam tarqub qawlee

[Aaron] said, "O son of my mother, do not seize [me] by my beard or by my head. Indeed, I feared that you would say, 'You caused division among the Children of Israel, and you did not observe [or await] my word

Qala fama khatbuka ya samiriyyu

[Moses] said, "And what is your case, O Samiri

Qala basurtu bima lam yabsuroo bihi faqabadtu qabdatan min athari alrrasooli fanabathtuha wakathalika sawwalat lee nafsee

He said, "I saw what they did not see, so I took a handful [of dust] from the track of the messenger and threw it, and thus did my soul entice me

Qala faithhab fainna laka fee alhayati an taqoola la misasa wainna laka mawAAidan lan tukhlafahu waonthur ila ilahika allathee thalta AAalayhi AAakifan lanuharriqannahu thumma lanansifannahu fee alyammi nasfan

[Moses] said, "Then go. And indeed, it is [decreed] for you in [this] life to say, 'No contact.' And indeed, you have an appointment [in the Hereafter] you will not fail to keep. And look at your 'god' to which you remained devoted. We will surely burn it and blow it into the sea with a blast

Innama ilahukumu Allahu allathee la ilaha illa huwa wasiAAa kulla shayin AAilman

Your god is only Allah, except for whom there is no deity. He has encompassed all things in knowledge

Kathalika naqussu AAalayka min anbai ma qad sabaqa waqad ataynaka min ladunna thikran

Thus, [O Muhammad], We relate to you from the news of what has preceded. And We have certainly given you from Us the Qur'an

Man aAArada AAanhu fainnahu yahmilu yawma alqiyamati wizran

Whoever turns away from it - then indeed, he will bear on the Day of Resurrection a burden

Khalideena feehi wasaa lahum yawma alqiyamati himlan

[Abiding] eternally therein, and evil it is for them on the Day of Resurrection as a load

Yawma yunfakhu fee alssoori wanahshuru almujrimeena yawmaithin zurqan

The Day the Horn will be blown. And We will gather the criminals, that Day, blue-eyed

Yatakhafatoona baynahum in labithtum illa AAashran

They will murmur among themselves, "You remained not but ten [days in the world]

Nahnu aAAlamu bima yaqooloona ith yaqoolu amthaluhum tareeqatan in labithtum illa yawman

We are most knowing of what they say when the best of them in manner will say, "You remained not but one day

Wayasaloonaka AAani aljibali faqul yansifuha rabbee nasfan

And they ask you about the mountains, so say, "My Lord will blow them away with a blast

Fayatharuha qaAAan safsafan

And He will leave the earth a level plain

La tara feeha AAiwajan wala amtan

You will not see therein a depression or an elevation

Yawmaithin yattabiAAoona alddaAAiya la AAiwaja lahu wakhashaAAati alaswatu lilrrahmani fala tasmaAAu illa hamsan

That Day, everyone will follow [the call of] the Caller [with] no deviation therefrom, and [all] voices will be stilled before the Most Merciful, so you will not hear except a whisper [of footsteps]

Yawmaithin la tanfaAAu alshshafaAAatu illa man athina lahu alrrahmanu waradiya lahu qawlan

That Day, no intercession will benefit except [that of] one to whom the Most Merciful has given permission and has accepted his word

YaAAlamu ma bayna aydeehim wama khalfahum wala yuheetoona bihi AAilman

Allah knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, but they do not encompass it in knowledge

WaAAanati alwujoohu lilhayyi alqayyoomi waqad khaba man hamala thulman

And [all] faces will be humbled before the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence. And he will have failed who carries injustice

Waman yaAAmal mina alssalihati wahuwa muminun fala yakhafu thulman wala hadman

But he who does of righteous deeds while he is a believer - he will neither fear injustice nor deprivation

Wakathalika anzalnahu quranan AAarabiyyan wasarrafna feehi mina alwaAAeedi laAAallahum yattaqoona aw yuhdithu lahum thikran

And thus We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an and have diversified therein the warnings that perhaps they will avoid [sin] or it would cause them remembrance

FataAAala Allahu almaliku alhaqqu wala taAAjal bialqurani min qabli an yuqda ilayka wahyuhu waqul rabbi zidnee AAilman

So high [above all] is Allah, the Sovereign, the Truth. And, [O Muhammad], do not hasten with [recitation of] the Qur'an before its revelation is completed to you, and say, "My Lord, increase me in knowledge

Walaqad AAahidna ila adama min qablu fanasiya walam najid lahu AAazman

And We had already taken a promise from Adam before, but he forgot; and We found not in him determination

Waith qulna lilmalaikati osjudoo liadama fasajadoo illa ibleesa aba

And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except Iblees; he refused

Faqulna ya adamu inna hatha AAaduwwun laka walizawjika fala yukhrijannakuma mina aljannati fatashqa

So We said, "O Adam, indeed this is an enemy to you and to your wife. Then let him not remove you from Paradise so you would suffer

Inna laka alla tajooAAa feeha wala taAAra

Indeed, it is [promised] for you not to be hungry therein or be unclothed

Waannaka la tathmao feeha wala tadha

And indeed, you will not be thirsty therein or be hot from the sun

Fawaswasa ilayhi alshshaytanu qala ya adamu hal adulluka AAala shajarati alkhuldi wamulkin la yabla

Then Satan whispered to him; he said, "O Adam, shall I direct you to the tree of eternity and possession that will not deteriorate

Faakala minha fabadat lahuma sawatuhuma watafiqa yakhsifani AAalayhima min waraqi aljannati waAAasa adamu rabbahu faghawa

And Adam and his wife ate of it, and their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten over themselves from the leaves of Paradise. And Adam disobeyed his Lord and erred

Thumma ijtabahu rabbuhu fataba AAalayhi wahada

Then his Lord chose him and turned to him in forgiveness and guided [him]

Qala ihbita minha jameeAAan baAAdukum libaAAdin AAaduwwun faimma yatiyannakum minnee hudan famani ittabaAAa hudaya fala yadillu wala yashqa

[Allah] said, "Descend from Paradise - all, [your descendants] being enemies to one another. And if there should come to you guidance from Me - then whoever follows My guidance will neither go astray [in the world] nor suffer [in the Hereafter]

Waman aAArada AAan thikree fainna lahu maAAeeshatan dankan wanahshuruhu yawma alqiyamati aAAman

And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have a depressed life, and We will gather him on the Day of Resurrection blind

Qala rabbi lima hashartanee aAAma waqad kuntu baseeran

He will say, "My Lord, why have you raised me blind while I was [once] seeing

Qala kathalika atatka ayatuna fanaseetaha wakathalika alyawma tunsa

[Allah] will say, "Thus did Our signs come to you, and you forgot them; and thus will you this Day be forgotten

Wakathalika najzee man asrafa walam yumin biayati rabbihi walaAAathabu alakhirati ashaddu waabqa

And thus do We recompense he who transgressed and did not believe in the signs of his Lord. And the punishment of the Hereafter is more severe and more enduring

Afalam yahdi lahum kam ahlakna qablahum mina alqurooni yamshoona fee masakinihim inna fee thalika laayatin liolee alnnuha

Then, has it not become clear to them how many generations We destroyed before them as they walk among their dwellings? Indeed in that are signs for those of intelligence

Walawla kalimatun sabaqat min rabbika lakana lizaman waajalun musamman

And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, punishment would have been an obligation [due immediately], and [if not for] a specified term [decreed]

Faisbir AAala ma yaqooloona wasabbih bihamdi rabbika qabla tulooAAi alshshamsi waqabla ghuroobiha wamin anai allayli fasabbih waatrafa alnnahari laAAallaka tarda

So be patient over what they say and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting; and during periods of the night [exalt Him] and at the ends of the day, that you may be satisfied

Wala tamuddanna AAaynayka ila ma mattaAAna bihi azwajan minhum zahrata alhayati alddunya linaftinahum feehi warizqu rabbika khayrun waabqa

And do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [some] categories of them, [its being but] the splendor of worldly life by which We test them. And the provision of your Lord is better and more enduring

Wamur ahlaka bialssalati waistabir AAalayha la nasaluka rizqan nahnu narzuquka waalAAaqibatu lilttaqwa

And enjoin prayer upon your family [and people] and be steadfast therein. We ask you not for provision; We provide for you, and the [best] outcome is for [those of] righteousness

Waqaloo lawla yateena biayatin min rabbihi awalam tatihim bayyinatu ma fee alssuhufi aloola

And they say, "Why does he not bring us a sign from his Lord?" Has there not come to them evidence of what was in the former scriptures

Walaw anna ahlaknahum biAAathabin min qablihi laqaloo rabbana lawla arsalta ilayna rasoolan fanattabiAAa ayatika min qabli an nathilla wanakhza

And if We had destroyed them with a punishment before him, they would have said, "Our Lord, why did You not send to us a messenger so we could have followed Your verses before we were humiliated and disgraced

Qul kullun mutarabbisun fatarabbasoo fasataAAlamoona man ashabu alssirati alssawiyyi wamani ihtada

Say, "Each [of us] is waiting; so wait. For you will know who are the companions of the sound path and who is guided
