Ṭā Sīm Mīm.

Ta, Seen, Meem.
تِلْكَ اٰيٰتُ الْكِتٰبِ الْمُبِيْنِ٢
Tilka āyātul-kitābil-mubīn(i).
[2]
These are the verses of the clear Book.
نَتْلُوْا عَلَيْكَ مِنْ نَّبَاِ مُوْسٰى وَفِرْعَوْنَ بِالْحَقِّ لِقَوْمٍ يُّؤْمِنُوْنَ٣
Natlū ‘alaika min naba'i mūsā wa fir‘auna bil-ḥaqqi liqaumiy yu'minūn(a).
[3]
We recite to you from the news of Moses and Pharaoh in truth for a people who believe.
اِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ عَلَا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَجَعَلَ اَهْلَهَا شِيَعًا يَّسْتَضْعِفُ طَاۤىِٕفَةً مِّنْهُمْ يُذَبِّحُ اَبْنَاۤءَهُمْ وَيَسْتَحْيٖ نِسَاۤءَهُمْ ۗاِنَّهٗ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُفْسِدِيْنَ٤
Inna fir‘auna ‘alā fil-arḍi wa ja‘ala ahlahā syiya‘ay yastaḍ‘ifu ṭā'ifatam minhum yużabbiḥu abnā'ahum wa yastaḥyī nisā'ahum, innahū kāna minal-mufsidīn(a).
[4]
Indeed, Pharaoh exalted himself in the land and made its people into factions, oppressing a sector among them, slaughtering their [newborn] sons and keeping their females alive. Indeed, he was of the corrupters.
وَنُرِيْدُ اَنْ نَّمُنَّ عَلَى الَّذِيْنَ اسْتُضْعِفُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَنَجْعَلَهُمْ اَىِٕمَّةً وَّنَجْعَلَهُمُ الْوٰرِثِيْنَ ۙ٥
Wa nurīdu an namunna ‘alal-lażīnastuḍ‘ifū fil-arḍi wa naj‘alahum a'immataw wa naj‘alahumul-wāriṡīn(a).
[5]
And We wanted to confer favor upon those who were oppressed in the land and make them leaders and make them inheritors
وَنُمَكِّنَ لَهُمْ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَنُرِيَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامٰنَ وَجُنُوْدَهُمَا مِنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا يَحْذَرُوْنَ٦
Wa numakkina lahum fil-arḍi wa nuriya fir‘auna wa hāmāna wa junūdahumā minhum mā kānū yaḥżarūn(a).
[6]
And establish them in the land and show Pharaoh and [his minister] Haman and their soldiers through them that which they had feared.
وَاَوْحَيْنَآ اِلٰٓى اُمِّ مُوْسٰٓى اَنْ اَرْضِعِيْهِۚ فَاِذَا خِفْتِ عَلَيْهِ فَاَلْقِيْهِ فِى الْيَمِّ وَلَا تَخَافِيْ وَلَا تَحْزَنِيْ ۚاِنَّا رَاۤدُّوْهُ اِلَيْكِ وَجَاعِلُوْهُ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ٧
Wa auḥainā ilā mūsā an arḍi‘īh(i), fa'iżā khifti ‘alaihi fa'alqīhi fil yammi wa lā takhāfī wa lā taḥzanī, innā rāddūhu ilaiki wa jā‘ilūhu minal-mursalīn(a).
[7]
And We inspired to the mother of Moses, "Suckle him; but when you fear for him, cast him into the river and do not fear and do not grieve. Indeed, We will return him to you and will make him [one] of the messengers."
فَالْتَقَطَهٗٓ اٰلُ فِرْعَوْنَ لِيَكُوْنَ لَهُمْ عَدُوًّا وَّحَزَنًاۗ اِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامٰنَ وَجُنُوْدَهُمَا كَانُوْا خٰطِـِٕيْنَ٨
Faltaqaṭahū ālu fir‘auna liyakūna lahum ‘aduwwaw wa ḥazanā(n), inna fir‘auna wa hāmāna wa junūdahumā kānū khāṭi'īn(a).
[8]
And the family of Pharaoh picked him up [out of the river] so that he would become to them an enemy and a [cause of] grief. Indeed, Pharaoh and Haman and their soldiers were deliberate sinners.
وَقَالَتِ امْرَاَتُ فِرْعَوْنَ قُرَّتُ عَيْنٍ لِّيْ وَلَكَۗ لَا تَقْتُلُوْهُ ۖعَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّنْفَعَنَآ اَوْ نَتَّخِذَهٗ وَلَدًا وَّهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ٩
Wa qālatimra'atu fir‘auna qurratu ‘ainil lī wa lak(a), lā taqtulūh(u), ‘asā ay yanfa‘anā au nattakhiżahū waladaw wa hum lā yasy‘urūn(a).
[9]
And the wife of Pharaoh said, "[He will be] a comfort of the eye for me and for you. Do not kill him; perhaps he may benefit us, or we may adopt him as a son." And they perceived not.
وَاَصْبَحَ فُؤَادُ اُمِّ مُوْسٰى فٰرِغًاۗ اِنْ كَادَتْ لَتُبْدِيْ بِهٖ لَوْلَآ اَنْ رَّبَطْنَا عَلٰى قَلْبِهَا لِتَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ١٠
Wa aṣbaḥa fu'ādu ummi mūsā fārigā(n), in kādat latubdī bihī lau lā ar rabaṭnā ‘alā qalbihā litakūna minal-mu'minīn(a).
[10]
And the heart of Moses' mother became empty [of all else]. She was about to disclose [the matter concerning] him had We not bound fast her heart that she would be of the believers.
وَقَالَتْ لِاُخْتِهٖ قُصِّيْهِۗ فَبَصُرَتْ بِهٖ عَنْ جُنُبٍ وَّهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ ۙ١١
Wa qālat li'ukhtihī quṣṣīh(i), fabaṣurat bihī ‘an junubiw wa hum lā yasy‘urūn(a).
[11]
And she said to his sister, "Follow him"; so she watched him from a distance while they perceived not.
۞ وَحَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِ الْمَرَاضِعَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَقَالَتْ هَلْ اَدُلُّكُمْ عَلٰٓى اَهْلِ بَيْتٍ يَّكْفُلُوْنَهٗ لَكُمْ وَهُمْ لَهٗ نٰصِحُوْنَ١٢
Wa ḥarramnā ‘alaihil-marāḍi‘a min qablu faqālat hal adullukum ‘alā ahli baitiy yakfulūnahū lakum wa hum lahū nāṣiḥūn(a).
[12]
And We had prevented from him [all] wet nurses before, so she said, "Shall I direct you to a household that will be responsible for him for you while they are to him [for his upbringing] sincere?"
فَرَدَدْنٰهُ اِلٰٓى اُمِّهٖ كَيْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَ وَلِتَعْلَمَ اَنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَّلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ࣖ١٣
Faradadnāhu ilā ummihī kai taqarra ‘ainuhā wa lā taḥzana wa lita‘lama anna wa‘dallāhi ḥaqquw wa lākinna akṡarahum lā ya‘lamūn(a).
[13]
So We restored him to his mother that she might be content and not grieve and that she would know that the promise of Allah is true. But most of the people do not know.
وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ اَشُدَّهٗ وَاسْتَوٰىٓ اٰتَيْنٰهُ حُكْمًا وَّعِلْمًاۗ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِى الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ١٤
Wa lammā balaga asyuddahū wastawā ātaināhu ḥukmaw wa ‘ilmā(n), wa każālika najzil-muḥsinīn(a).
[14]
And when he attained his full strength and was [mentally] mature, We bestowed upon him judgement and knowledge. And thus do We reward the doers of good.
وَدَخَلَ الْمَدِيْنَةَ عَلٰى حِيْنِ غَفْلَةٍ مِّنْ اَهْلِهَا فَوَجَدَ فِيْهَا رَجُلَيْنِ يَقْتَتِلٰنِۖ هٰذَا مِنْ شِيْعَتِهٖ وَهٰذَا مِنْ عَدُوِّهٖۚ فَاسْتَغَاثَهُ الَّذِيْ مِنْ شِيْعَتِهٖ عَلَى الَّذِيْ مِنْ عَدُوِّهٖ ۙفَوَكَزَهٗ مُوْسٰى فَقَضٰى عَلَيْهِۖ قَالَ هٰذَا مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطٰنِۗ اِنَّهٗ عَدُوٌّ مُّضِلٌّ مُّبِيْنٌ١٥
Wa dakhalal-madīnata ‘alā ḥīni gaflatim min ahlihā fawajada fīhā rajulaini yaqtatilān(i), hāżā min syī‘atihī wa hāżā min ‘aduwwih(ī), fastagāṡahul-lażī min syī‘atihī ‘alal-lażī min ‘aduwwih(ī), fawakazahū mūsā faqaḍā ‘alaih(i), qāla hāżā min ‘amalisy-syaiṭān(i), innahū ‘aduwwum muḍillum mubīn(un).
[15]
And he entered the city at a time of inattention by its people and found therein two men fighting: one from his faction and one from among his enemy. And the one from his faction called for help to him against the one from his enemy, so Moses struck him and [unintentionally] killed him. [Moses] said, "This is from the work of Satan. Indeed, he is a manifest, misleading enemy."
قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّيْ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِيْ فَاغْفِرْ لِيْ فَغَفَرَ لَهٗ ۗاِنَّهٗ هُوَ الْغَفُوْرُ الرَّحِيْمُ١٦
Qāla rabbi innī ẓalamtu nafsī fagfir lī fagafara lah(ū), innahū huwal-gafūrur-raḥīm(u).
[16]
He said, "My Lord, indeed I have wronged myself, so forgive me," and He forgave him. Indeed, He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَآ اَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ فَلَنْ اَكُوْنَ ظَهِيْرًا لِّلْمُجْرِمِيْنَ١٧
Qāla rabbi bimā an‘amta ‘alayya falan akūna ẓahīral lil-mujrimīn(a).
[17]
He said, "My Lord, for the favor You bestowed upon me, I will never be an assistant to the criminals."
فَاَصْبَحَ فِى الْمَدِيْنَةِ خَاۤىِٕفًا يَّتَرَقَّبُ فَاِذَا الَّذِى اسْتَنْصَرَهٗ بِالْاَمْسِ يَسْتَصْرِخُهٗ ۗقَالَ لَهٗ مُوْسٰٓى اِنَّكَ لَغَوِيٌّ مُّبِيْنٌ١٨
Fa'aṣbaḥa fil-madīnati khā'ifay yataraqqabu fa'iżal-lażistanṣarahū bil-amsi yastaṣrikhuh(ū), qāla lahū mūsā innaka lagawiyyum mubīn(un).
[18]
And he became inside the city fearful and anticipating [exposure], when suddenly the one who sought his help the previous day cried out to him [once again]. Moses said to him, "Indeed, you are an evident, [persistent] deviator."
فَلَمَّآ اَنْ اَرَادَ اَنْ يَّبْطِشَ بِالَّذِيْ هُوَ عَدُوٌّ لَّهُمَاۙ قَالَ يٰمُوْسٰٓى اَتُرِيْدُ اَنْ تَقْتُلَنِيْ كَمَا قَتَلْتَ نَفْسًاۢ بِالْاَمْسِۖ اِنْ تُرِيْدُ اِلَّآ اَنْ تَكُوْنَ جَبَّارًا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَمَا تُرِيْدُ اَنْ تَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُصْلِحِيْنَ١٩
Falammā an arāda ay yabṭisya bil-lażī huwa ‘aduwwul lahumā, qāla yā mūsā aturīdu an taqtulanī kamā qatalta nafsam bil-ams(i), in turīdu illā an takūna jabbāran fil-arḍi wa mā turīdu an takūna minal-muṣliḥīn(a).
[19]
And when he wanted to strike the one who was an enemy to both of them, he said, "O Moses, do you intend to kill me as you killed someone yesterday? You only want to be a tyrant in the land and do not want to be of the amenders."
وَجَاۤءَ رَجُلٌ مِّنْ اَقْصَى الْمَدِيْنَةِ يَسْعٰىۖ قَالَ يٰمُوْسٰٓى اِنَّ الْمَلَاَ يَأْتَمِرُوْنَ بِكَ لِيَقْتُلُوْكَ فَاخْرُجْ اِنِّيْ لَكَ مِنَ النّٰصِحِيْنَ٢٠
Wa jā'a rajulum min aqṣal-madīnati yas‘ā, qāla yā mūsā innal-mala'a ya'tamirūna bika liyaqtulūka fakhruj innī laka minan-nāṣiḥīn(a).
[20]
And a man came from the farthest end of the city, running. He said, "O Moses, indeed the eminent ones are conferring over you [intending] to kill you, so leave [the city]; indeed, I am to you of the sincere advisors."
فَخَرَجَ مِنْهَا خَاۤىِٕفًا يَّتَرَقَّبُ ۖقَالَ رَبِّ نَجِّنِيْ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ࣖ٢١
Fakharaja minhā khā'ifay yataraqqab(u), qāla rabbi najjinī minal-qaumiẓ-ẓālimīn(a).
[21]
So he left it, fearful and anticipating [apprehension]. He said, "My Lord, save me from the wrongdoing people."
وَلَمَّا تَوَجَّهَ تِلْقَاۤءَ مَدْيَنَ قَالَ عَسٰى رَبِّيْٓ اَنْ يَّهْدِيَنِيْ سَوَاۤءَ السَّبِيْلِ٢٢
Wa lammā tawajjaha tilqā'a madyana qāla ‘asā rabbī ay yahdiyanī sawā'as-sabīl(i).
[22]
And when he directed himself toward Madyan, he said, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me to the sound way."
وَلَمَّا وَرَدَ مَاۤءَ مَدْيَنَ وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ اُمَّةً مِّنَ النَّاسِ يَسْقُوْنَ ەۖ وَوَجَدَ مِنْ دُوْنِهِمُ امْرَاَتَيْنِ تَذُوْدٰنِۚ قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُمَا ۗقَالَتَا لَا نَسْقِيْ حَتّٰى يُصْدِرَ الرِّعَاۤءُ وَاَبُوْنَا شَيْخٌ كَبِيْرٌ٢٣
Wa lammā warada mā'a madyana wajada ‘alaihi ummatam minan-nāsi yasqūn(a), wa wajada min dūnihimumra'ataini tażūdān(i), qāla mā khaṭbukumā, qālatā lā nasqī ḥattā yuṣdirar-ri‘ā'u wa abūnā syaikhun kabīr(un).
[23]
And when he came to the well of Madyan, he found there a crowd of people watering [their flocks], and he found aside from them two women driving back [their flocks]. He said, "What is your circumstance?" They said, "We do not water until the shepherds dispatch [their flocks]; and our father is an old man."
فَسَقٰى لَهُمَا ثُمَّ تَوَلّٰىٓ اِلَى الظِّلِّ فَقَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّيْ لِمَآ اَنْزَلْتَ اِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيْرٌ٢٤
Fasaqā lahumā ṡumma tawallā ilaẓ-ẓilli faqāla rabbi innī limā anzalta ilayya min khairin faqīr(un).
[24]
So he watered [their flocks] for them; then he went back to the shade and said, "My Lord, indeed I am, for whatever good You would send down to me, in need."
فَجَاۤءَتْهُ اِحْدٰىهُمَا تَمْشِيْ عَلَى اسْتِحْيَاۤءٍ ۖقَالَتْ اِنَّ اَبِيْ يَدْعُوْكَ لِيَجْزِيَكَ اَجْرَ مَا سَقَيْتَ لَنَاۗ فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَهٗ وَقَصَّ عَلَيْهِ الْقَصَصَۙ قَالَ لَا تَخَفْۗ نَجَوْتَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ٢٥
Fajā'athu iḥdāhumā tamsyī ‘alastiḥyā'(in), qālat inna abī yad‘ūka liyajziyaka ajra mā saqaita lanā, falammā jā'ahū wa qaṣṣa ‘alaihil-qaṣaṣ(a), qāla lā takhaf, najauta minal-qaumiẓ-ẓālimīn(a).
[25]
Then one of the two women came to him walking with shyness. She said, "Indeed, my father invites you that he may reward you for having watered for us." So when he came to him and related to him the story, he said, "Fear not. You have escaped from the wrongdoing people."
قَالَتْ اِحْدٰىهُمَا يٰٓاَبَتِ اسْتَأْجِرْهُ ۖاِنَّ خَيْرَ مَنِ اسْتَأْجَرْتَ الْقَوِيُّ الْاَمِيْنُ٢٦
Qālat iḥdāhumā yā abatista'jirh(u), inna khaira manista'jartal-qawiyyul-amīn(u).
[26]
One of the women said, "O my father, hire him. Indeed, the best one you can hire is the strong and the trustworthy."
قَالَ اِنِّيْٓ اُرِيْدُ اَنْ اُنْكِحَكَ اِحْدَى ابْنَتَيَّ هٰتَيْنِ عَلٰٓى اَنْ تَأْجُرَنِيْ ثَمٰنِيَ حِجَجٍۚ فَاِنْ اَتْمَمْتَ عَشْرًا فَمِنْ عِنْدِكَۚ وَمَآ اُرِيْدُ اَنْ اَشُقَّ عَلَيْكَۗ سَتَجِدُنِيْٓ اِنْ شَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ مِنَ الصّٰلِحِيْنَ٢٧

[27]
He said, "Indeed, I wish to wed you one of these, my two daughters, on [the condition] that you serve me for eight years; but if you complete ten, it will be [as a favor] from you. And I do not wish to put you in difficulty. You will find me, if Allah wills, from among the righteous."
قَالَ ذٰلِكَ بَيْنِيْ وَبَيْنَكَۗ اَيَّمَا الْاَجَلَيْنِ قَضَيْتُ فَلَا عُدْوَانَ عَلَيَّ ۗوَاللّٰهُ عَلٰى مَا نَقُوْلُ وَكِيْلٌ ࣖ٢٨
Qāla żālika bainī wa bainak(a), ayyamal-ajalaini qaḍaitu falā ‘udwāna ‘alayy(a), wallāhu ‘alā mā naqūlu wakīl(un).
[28]
[Moses] said, "That is [established] between me and you. Whichever of the two terms I complete - there is no injustice to me, and Allah, over what we say, is Witness."
۞ فَلَمَّا قَضٰى مُوْسَى الْاَجَلَ وَسَارَ بِاَهْلِهٖٓ اٰنَسَ مِنْ جَانِبِ الطُّوْرِ نَارًاۗ قَالَ لِاَهْلِهِ امْكُثُوْٓا اِنِّيْٓ اٰنَسْتُ نَارًا لَّعَلِّيْٓ اٰتِيْكُمْ مِّنْهَا بِخَبَرٍ اَوْ جَذْوَةٍ مِّنَ النَّارِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَصْطَلُوْنَ٢٩
Falammā qaḍā mūsal-ajala wa sāra bi'ahlihī ānasa min jānibiṭ-ṭūri nārā(n), qāla li'ahlihimkuṡū innī ānastu nāral la‘allī ātīkum minhā bikhabarin au jażwatim minan-nāri la‘allakum taṣṭalūn(a).
[29]
And when Moses had completed the term and was traveling with his family, he perceived from the direction of the mount a fire. He said to his family, "Stay here; indeed, I have perceived a fire. Perhaps I will bring you from there [some] information or burning wood from the fire that you may warm yourselves."
فَلَمَّآ اَتٰىهَا نُوْدِيَ مِنْ شَاطِئِ الْوَادِ الْاَيْمَنِ فِى الْبُقْعَةِ الْمُبٰرَكَةِ مِنَ الشَّجَرَةِ اَنْ يّٰمُوْسٰىٓ اِنِّيْٓ اَنَا اللّٰهُ رَبُّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۙ٣٠
Falammā atāhā nūdiya min syāṭi'il wādil aimani fil buq‘atil mubārakati minasy syajarati ay yā mūsā innī anallāhu rabbul-‘ālamīn(a).
[30]
But when he came to it, he was called from the right side of the valley in a blessed spot - from the tree, "O Moses, indeed I am Allah, Lord of the worlds."
وَاَنْ اَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ۗفَلَمَّا رَاٰهَا تَهْتَزُّ كَاَنَّهَا جَاۤنٌّ وَّلّٰى مُدْبِرًا وَّلَمْ يُعَقِّبْۗ يٰمُوْسٰىٓ اَقْبِلْ وَلَا تَخَفْۗ اِنَّكَ مِنَ الْاٰمِنِيْنَ٣١

[31]
And [he was told], "Throw down your staff." But when he saw it writhing as if it was a snake, he turned in flight and did not return. [Allah said], "O Moses, approach and fear not. Indeed, you are of the secure.
اُسْلُكْ يَدَكَ فِيْ جَيْبِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَاۤءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوْۤءٍ ۖوَّاضْمُمْ اِلَيْكَ جَنَاحَكَ مِنَ الرَّهْبِ فَذٰنِكَ بُرْهَانٰنِ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ اِلٰى فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَا۟ىِٕهٖۗ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا قَوْمًا فٰسِقِيْنَ٣٢

[32]
Insert your hand into the opening of your garment; it will come out white, without disease. And draw in your arm close to you [as prevention] from fear, for those are two proofs from your Lord to Pharaoh and his establishment. Indeed, they have been a people defiantly disobedient."
قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّيْ قَتَلْتُ مِنْهُمْ نَفْسًا فَاَخَافُ اَنْ يَّقْتُلُوْنِ٣٣
Qāla rabbi innī qataltu minhum nafsan fa'akhāfu ay yaqtulūn(i).
[33]
He said, "My Lord, indeed, I killed from among them someone, and I fear they will kill me.
وَاَخِيْ هٰرُوْنُ هُوَ اَفْصَحُ مِنِّيْ لِسَانًا فَاَرْسِلْهُ مَعِيَ رِدْءًا يُّصَدِّقُنِيْٓ ۖاِنِّيْٓ اَخَافُ اَنْ يُّكَذِّبُوْنِ٣٤

[34]
And my brother Aaron is more fluent than me in tongue, so send him with me as support, verifying me. Indeed, I fear that they will deny me."
قَالَ سَنَشُدُّ عَضُدَكَ بِاَخِيْكَ وَنَجْعَلُ لَكُمَا سُلْطٰنًا فَلَا يَصِلُوْنَ اِلَيْكُمَا ۛبِاٰيٰتِنَا ۛ اَنْتُمَا وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَكُمَا الْغٰلِبُوْنَ٣٥

[35]
[Allah] said, "We will strengthen your arm through your brother and grant you both supremacy so they will not reach you. [It will be] through Our signs; you and those who follow you will be the predominant."
فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَهُمْ مُّوْسٰى بِاٰيٰتِنَا بَيِّنٰتٍ قَالُوْا مَا هٰذَآ اِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّفْتَرًىۙ وَّمَا سَمِعْنَا بِهٰذَا فِيْٓ اٰبَاۤىِٕنَا الْاَوَّلِيْنَ٣٦

[36]
But when Moses came to them with Our signs as clear evidences, they said, "This is not except invented magic, and we have not heard of this [religion] among our forefathers."
وَقَالَ مُوْسٰى رَبِّيْٓ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ جَاۤءَ بِالْهُدٰى مِنْ عِنْدِهٖ وَمَنْ تَكُوْنُ لَهٗ عَاقِبَةُ الدَّارِۗ اِنَّهٗ لَا يُفْلِحُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ٣٧

And Moses said, "My Lord is more knowing [than we or you] of who has come with guidance from Him and to whom will be succession in the home. Indeed, wrongdoers do not succeed."
وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ يٰٓاَيُّهَا الْمَلَاُ مَا عَلِمْتُ لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرِيْۚ فَاَوْقِدْ لِيْ يٰهَامٰنُ عَلَى الطِّيْنِ فَاجْعَلْ لِّيْ صَرْحًا لَّعَلِّيْٓ اَطَّلِعُ اِلٰٓى اِلٰهِ مُوْسٰىۙ وَاِنِّيْ لَاَظُنُّهٗ مِنَ الْكٰذِبِيْنَ٣٨
Wa qāla fir‘aunu yā ayyuhal-mala'u mā ‘alimtu lakum min ilāhin gairī, fa'auqid lī yā hāmānu ‘alaṭ-ṭīni faj‘al lī ṣarḥal la‘allī aṭṭali‘u ilā ilāhi mūsā, wa innī la'aẓunnuhū minal-kāżibīn(a).
[38]
And Pharaoh said, "O eminent ones, I have not known you to have a god other than me. Then ignite for me, O Haman, [a fire] upon the clay and make for me a tower that I may look at the God of Moses. And indeed, I do think he is among the liars."
وَاسْتَكْبَرَ هُوَ وَجُنُوْدُهٗ فِى الْاَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَظَنُّوْٓا اَنَّهُمْ اِلَيْنَا لَا يُرْجَعُوْنَ٣٩
Wastakbara huwa wa judūduhū fil-arḍi bigairil-ḥaqqi wa ẓannū annahum ilainā lā yurja‘ūn(a).
[39]
And he was arrogant, he and his soldiers, in the land, without right, and they thought that they would not be returned to Us.
فَاَخَذْنٰهُ وَجُنُوْدَهٗ فَنَبَذْنٰهُمْ فِى الْيَمِّ ۚفَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ٤٠
Fa'akhażnāhu wa junūdahū fanabażnāhum fil-yamm(i), fanẓur kaifa kāna ‘āqibatuẓ-ẓālimīn(a).
[40]
So We took him and his soldiers and threw them into the sea. So see how was the end of the wrongdoers.
وَجَعَلْنٰهُمْ اَىِٕمَّةً يَّدْعُوْنَ اِلَى النَّارِۚ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ لَا يُنْصَرُوْنَ٤١
Wa ja‘alnāhum a'immatay yad‘ūna ilan-nār(i), wa yaumal-qiyāmati lā yunṣarūn(a).
[41]
And We made them leaders inviting to the Fire, and on the Day of Resurrection they will not be helped.
وَاَتْبَعْنٰهُمْ فِيْ هٰذِهِ الدُّنْيَا لَعْنَةً ۚوَيَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ هُمْ مِّنَ الْمَقْبُوْحِيْنَ ࣖ٤٢
Wa atba‘nāhum fī hāżihid-dun-yā la‘nah(tan), wa yaumal-qiyāmati hum minal-maqbūḥīn(a).
[42]
And We caused to overtake them in this world a curse, and on the Day of Resurrection they will be of the despised.
وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا مُوْسَى الْكِتٰبَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَآ اَهْلَكْنَا الْقُرُوْنَ الْاُوْلٰى بَصَاۤىِٕرَ لِلنَّاسِ وَهُدًى وَّرَحْمَةً لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُوْنَ٤٣
Wa laqad ātainā mūsal-kitāba mim ba‘di mā ahlaknal-qurūnal ūlā baṣā'ira lin-nāsi wa hudaw wa raḥmatal la‘allahum yatażakkarūn(a).
[43]
And We gave Moses the Scripture, after We had destroyed the former generations, as enlightenment for the people and guidance and mercy that they might be reminded.
وَمَا كُنْتَ بِجَانِبِ الْغَرْبِيِّ اِذْ قَضَيْنَآ اِلٰى مُوْسَى الْاَمْرَ وَمَا كُنْتَ مِنَ الشّٰهِدِيْنَ ۙ٤٤
Wa mā kunta bijānibil-garbiyyi iż qaḍainā ilā mūsal-amra wa mā kunta minasy-syāhidīn(a).
[44]
And you, [O Muhammad], were not on the western side [of the mount] when We revealed to Moses the command, and you were not among the witnesses [to that].
وَلٰكِنَّآ اَنْشَأْنَا قُرُوْنًا فَتَطَاوَلَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْعُمُرُۚ وَمَا كُنْتَ ثَاوِيًا فِيْٓ اَهْلِ مَدْيَنَ تَتْلُوْا عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتِنَاۙ وَلٰكِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِيْنَ٤٥
Wa lākinnā ansya'nā qurūnan fataṭāwala ‘alaihimul-‘umur(u), wa mā kunta ṡāwiyan fī ahli madyana tatlū ‘alaihim āyātinā, wa lākinnā kunnā mursilīn(a).
[45]
But We produced [many] generations [after Moses], and prolonged was their duration. And you were not a resident among the people of Madyan, reciting to them Our verses, but We were senders [of this message].
وَمَا كُنْتَ بِجَانِبِ الطُّوْرِ اِذْ نَادَيْنَا وَلٰكِنْ رَّحْمَةً مِّنْ رَّبِّكَ لِتُنْذِرَ قَوْمًا مَّآ اَتٰىهُمْ مِّنْ نَّذِيْرٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُوْنَ٤٦
Wa mā kunta bijānibiṭ-ṭūri iż nādainā wa lākir raḥmatam mir rabbika litunżira qaumam mā atāhum min nażīrim min qablika la‘allahum yatażakkarūn(a).
[46]
And you were not at the side of the mount when We called [Moses] but [were sent] as a mercy from your Lord to warn a people to whom no warner had come before you that they might be reminded.
وَلَوْلَآ اَنْ تُصِيْبَهُمْ مُّصِيْبَةٌ ۢبِمَا قَدَّمَتْ اَيْدِيْهِمْ فَيَقُوْلُوْا رَبَّنَا لَوْلَآ اَرْسَلْتَ اِلَيْنَا رَسُوْلًا فَنَتَّبِعَ اٰيٰتِكَ وَنَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ٤٧
Wa lau lā an tuṣībahum muṣībatum bimā qaddamat aidīhim fayaqūlū rabbanā lau lā arsalta ilainā rasūlan fanattabi‘a āyātika wa nakūna minal-mu'minīn(a).
[47]
And if not that a disaster should strike them for what their hands put forth [of sins] and they would say, "Our Lord, why did You not send us a messenger so we could have followed Your verses and been among the believers?"...
فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَهُمُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ عِنْدِنَا قَالُوْا لَوْلَآ اُوْتِيَ مِثْلَ مَآ اُوْتِيَ مُوْسٰىۗ اَوَلَمْ يَكْفُرُوْا بِمَآ اُوْتِيَ مُوْسٰى مِنْ قَبْلُۚ قَالُوْا سِحْرٰنِ تَظٰهَرَاۗ وَقَالُوْٓا اِنَّا بِكُلٍّ كٰفِرُوْنَ٤٨
Falammā jā'ahumul-ḥaqqu min ‘indinā qālū lau lā ūtiya miṡla mā ūtiya mūsā, awalam yakfurū bimā ūtiya mūsā min qabl(u), qālū siḥrāni taẓāharā, wa qālū innā bikullin kāfirūn(a).
[48]
But when the truth came to them from Us, they said, "Why was he not given like that which was given to Moses?" Did they not disbelieve in that which was given to Moses before? They said, "[They are but] two works of magic supporting each other, and indeed we are, in both, disbelievers."
قُلْ فَأْتُوْا بِكِتٰبٍ مِّنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ هُوَ اَهْدٰى مِنْهُمَآ اَتَّبِعْهُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ٤٩
Qul fa'tū bikitābim min ‘indillāhi huwa ahdā minhumā attabi‘hu in kuntum ṣādiqīn(a).
[49]
Say, "Then bring a scripture from Allah which is more guiding than either of them that I may follow it, if you should be truthful."
فَاِنْ لَّمْ يَسْتَجِيْبُوْا لَكَ فَاعْلَمْ اَنَّمَا يَتَّبِعُوْنَ اَهْوَاۤءَهُمْۗ وَمَنْ اَضَلُّ مِمَّنِ اتَّبَعَ هَوٰىهُ بِغَيْرِ هُدًى مِّنَ اللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ࣖ٥٠
Fa illam yastajībū laka fa‘lam annamā yattabi‘ūna ahwā'ahum, wa man aḍallu mimmanittaba‘a hawāhu bigairi hudam minallāh(i), innallāha lā yahdil-qaumaẓ-ẓālimīn(a).
[50]
But if they do not respond to you - then know that they only follow their [own] desires. And who is more astray than one who follows his desire without guidance from Allah? Indeed, Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
۞ وَلَقَدْ وَصَّلْنَا لَهُمُ الْقَوْلَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُوْنَ ۗ٥١
Wa laqad waṣṣalnā lahumul-qaula la‘allahum yatażakkarūn(a).
[51]
And We have [repeatedly] conveyed to them the Qur'an that they might be reminded.
اَلَّذِيْنَ اٰتَيْنٰهُمُ الْكِتٰبَ مِنْ قَبْلِهٖ هُمْ بِهٖ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ٥٢
Allażīna ātaināhumul-kitāba min qablihī hum bihī yu'minūn(a).
[52]
Those to whom We gave the Scripture before it - they are believers in it.
وَاِذَا يُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ قَالُوْٓا اٰمَنَّا بِهٖٓ اِنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّنَآ اِنَّا كُنَّا مِنْ قَبْلِهٖ مُسْلِمِيْنَ٥٣
Wa iżā yutlā ‘alaihim qālū āmannā bihī innahul-ḥaqqu mir rabbinā innā kunnā min qablihī muslimīn(a).
[53]
And when it is recited to them, they say, "We have believed in it; indeed, it is the truth from our Lord. Indeed we were, [even] before it, Muslims [submitting to Allah]."
اُولٰۤىِٕكَ يُؤْتَوْنَ اَجْرَهُمْ مَّرَّتَيْنِ بِمَا صَبَرُوْا وَيَدْرَءُوْنَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ يُنْفِقُوْنَ٥٤
Ulā'ika yu'tauna ajrahum marrataini bimā ṣabarū wa yadra'ūna bil-ḥasanatis-sayyi'ata wa mimmā razaqnāhum yunfiqūn(a).
[54]
Those will be given their reward twice for what they patiently endured and [because] they avert evil through good, and from what We have provided them they spend.
وَاِذَا سَمِعُوا اللَّغْوَ اَعْرَضُوْا عَنْهُ وَقَالُوْا لَنَآ اَعْمَالُنَا وَلَكُمْ اَعْمَالُكُمْ ۖسَلٰمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ لَا نَبْتَغِى الْجٰهِلِيْنَ٥٥
Wa iżā sami‘ul-lagwa a‘raḍū ‘anhu wa qālū lanā a‘mālunā wa lakum a‘mālukum, salāmun ‘alaikum, lā nabtagil-jāhilīn(a).
[55]
And when they hear ill speech, they turn away from it and say, "For us are our deeds, and for you are your deeds. Peace will be upon you; we seek not the ignorant."
اِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِيْ مَنْ اَحْبَبْتَ وَلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَهْدِيْ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ ۚوَهُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِيْنَ٥٦
Innaka lā tahdī man aḥbabta wa lākinnallāha yahdī may yasyā'(u), wa huwa a‘lamu bil-muhtadīn(a).
[56]
Indeed, [O Muhammad], you do not guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills. And He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.
وَقَالُوْٓا اِنْ نَّتَّبِعِ الْهُدٰى مَعَكَ نُتَخَطَّفْ مِنْ اَرْضِنَاۗ اَوَلَمْ نُمَكِّنْ لَّهُمْ حَرَمًا اٰمِنًا يُّجْبٰٓى اِلَيْهِ ثَمَرٰتُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ رِّزْقًا مِّنْ لَّدُنَّا وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ٥٧
Wa qālū in natabi‘il-hudā ma‘aka nutakhaṭṭaf min arḍinā, awalam numakkil lahum ḥaraman āminay yujbā ilaihi ṡamarātu kulli syai'ir rizqam mil ladunnā wa lākinna akṡarahum lā ya‘lamūn(a).
[57]
And they say, "If we were to follow the guidance with you, we would be swept from our land." Have we not established for them a safe sanctuary to which are brought the fruits of all things as provision from Us? But most of them do not know.
وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ ۢ بَطِرَتْ مَعِيْشَتَهَا ۚفَتِلْكَ مَسٰكِنُهُمْ لَمْ تُسْكَنْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًاۗ وَكُنَّا نَحْنُ الْوٰرِثِيْنَ٥٨
Wa kam ahlaknā min qaryatim baṭirat ma‘īsyatahā, fatilka masākinuhum lam tuskam mim ba‘dihim illā qalīlā(n), wa kunnā naḥnul-wāriṡīn(a).
[58]
And how many a city have We destroyed that was insolent in its [way of] living, and those are their dwellings which have not been inhabited after them except briefly. And it is We who were the inheritors.
وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ مُهْلِكَ الْقُرٰى حَتّٰى يَبْعَثَ فِيْٓ اُمِّهَا رَسُوْلًا يَّتْلُوْا عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتِنَاۚ وَمَا كُنَّا مُهْلِكِى الْقُرٰىٓ اِلَّا وَاَهْلُهَا ظٰلِمُوْنَ٥٩
Wa mā kāna rabbuka muhlikal-qurā ḥattā yab‘aṡa fī ummihā rasūlay yatlū ‘alaihim āyātinā, wa mā kunnā muhlikil-qurā illā wa ahluhā ẓālimūn(a).
[59]
And never would your Lord have destroyed the cities until He had sent to their mother a messenger reciting to them Our verses. And We would not destroy the cities except while their people were wrongdoers.
وَمَآ اُوْتِيْتُمْ مِّنْ شَيْءٍ فَمَتَاعُ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا وَزِيْنَتُهَا ۚوَمَا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ خَيْرٌ وَّاَبْقٰىۗ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ ࣖ٦٠
Wa mā ūtītum min syai'in famatā‘ul-ḥayātid-dun-yā wa zīnatuhā, wa mā ‘indallāhi khairuw wa abqā, afalā ta‘qilūn(a).
[60]
And whatever thing you [people] have been given - it is [only for] the enjoyment of worldly life and its adornment. And what is with Allah is better and more lasting; so will you not use reason?
اَفَمَنْ وَّعَدْنٰهُ وَعْدًا حَسَنًا فَهُوَ لَاقِيْهِ كَمَنْ مَّتَّعْنٰهُ مَتَاعَ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ هُوَ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ مِنَ الْمُحْضَرِيْنَ٦١
Afamaw wa‘adnāhu wa‘dan ḥasanan fahuwa lāqīhi kamam matta‘nāhu matā‘al-ḥayātid-dun-yā ṡumma huwa yaumal-qiyāmati minal-muḥḍarīn(a).
[61]
Then is he whom We have promised a good promise which he will obtain like he for whom We provided enjoyment of worldly life [but] then he is, on the Day of Resurrection, among those presented [for punishment in Hell]?
وَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيْهِمْ فَيَقُوْلُ اَيْنَ شُرَكَاۤءِيَ الَّذِيْنَ كُنْتُمْ تَزْعُمُوْنَ٦٢
Wa yauma yunādīhim fayaqūlu aina syurakā'iyal-lażīna kuntum taz‘umūn(a).
[62]
And [warn of] the Day He will call them and say, "Where are My 'partners' which you used to claim?"
قَالَ الَّذِيْنَ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقَوْلُ رَبَّنَا هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ الَّذِيْنَ اَغْوَيْنَاۚ اَغْوَيْنٰهُمْ كَمَا غَوَيْنَاۚ تَبَرَّأْنَآ اِلَيْكَ مَا كَانُوْٓا اِيَّانَا يَعْبُدُوْنَ٦٣
Wa qālal-lażīna ḥaqqa ‘alaihimul-qaulu rabbanā hā'ulā'il-lażīna agwainā, agwaināhum kamā gawainā, tabarra'nā ilaika mā kānū iyyānā ya‘budūn(a).
[63]
Those upon whom the word will have come into effect will say, "Our Lord, these are the ones we led to error. We led them to error just as we were in error. We declare our disassociation [from them] to You. They did not used to worship us."
وَقِيْلَ ادْعُوْا شُرَكَاۤءَكُمْ فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِيْبُوْا لَهُمْ ۗوَرَاَوُا الْعَذَابَۚ لَوْ اَنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا يَهْتَدُوْنَ٦٤
Wa qīlad‘ū syurakā'akum fada‘auhum falam yastajībū lahum wa ra'awul-‘ażāb(a), lau annahum kānū yahtadūn(a).
[64]
And it will be said, "Invoke your 'partners' " and they will invoke them; but they will not respond to them, and they will see the punishment. If only they had followed guidance!
وَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيْهِمْ فَيَقُوْلُ مَاذَآ اَجَبْتُمُ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ٦٥
Wa yauma yunādīhim fayaqūlu māżā ajabtumul-mursalīn(a).
[65]
And [mention] the Day He will call them and say, "What did you answer the messengers?"
فَعَمِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الْاَنْۢبَاۤءُ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ فَهُمْ لَا يَتَسَاۤءَلُوْنَ٦٦
Fa ‘amiyat ‘alaihimul-ambā'u yauma'iżin fahum lā yatasā'alūn(a).
[66]
But the information will be unapparent to them that Day, so they will not [be able to] ask one another.
فَاَمَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَاٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَعَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُفْلِحِيْنَ٦٧
Fa ammā man tāba wa āmana wa ‘amila ṣāliḥan fa‘asā ay yakūna minal-mufliḥīn(a).
[67]
But as for one who had repented, believed, and done righteousness, it is promised by Allah that he will be among the successful.
وَرَبُّكَ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاۤءُ وَيَخْتَارُ ۗمَا كَانَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ ۗسُبْحٰنَ اللّٰهِ وَتَعٰلٰى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُوْنَ٦٨
Wa rabbuka yakhluqu mā yasyā'u wa yakhtār(u), mā kāna lahumul-khiyarah(tu), subḥānallāhi wa ta‘ālā ‘ammā yusyrikūn(a).
[68]
And your Lord creates what He wills and chooses; not for them was the choice. Exalted is Allah and high above what they associate with Him.
وَرَبُّكَ يَعْلَمُ مَا تُكِنُّ صُدُوْرُهُمْ وَمَا يُعْلِنُوْنَ٦٩
Wa rabbuka ya‘lamu mā tukinnu ṣudūruhum wa mā yu‘linūn(a).
[69]
And your Lord knows what their breasts conceal and what they declare.
وَهُوَ اللّٰهُ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ ۗ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِى الْاُوْلٰى وَالْاٰخِرَةِ ۖوَلَهُ الْحُكْمُ وَاِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ٧٠
Wa huwallāhu lā ilāha illā huw(a), lahul-ḥamdu fil-ūlā wal-ākhirah(ti), wa lahul-ḥukmu wa ilaihi turja‘ūn(a).
[70]
And He is Allah; there is no deity except Him. To Him is [due all] praise in the first [life] and the Hereafter. And His is the [final] decision, and to Him you will be returned.
قُلْ اَرَءَيْتُمْ اِنْ جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكُمُ الَّيْلَ سَرْمَدًا اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ مَنْ اِلٰهٌ غَيْرُ اللّٰهِ يَأْتِيْكُمْ بِضِيَاۤءٍ ۗ اَفَلَا تَسْمَعُوْنَ٧١
Qul ara'aitum in ja‘alallāhu ‘alaikumul-laila sarmadan ilā yaumil-qiyāmati man ilāhun gairullāhi ya'tīkum biḍiyā'(in), afalā tasma‘ūn(a).
[71]
Say, "Have you considered: if Allah should make for you the night continuous until the Day of Resurrection, what deity other than Allah could bring you light? Then will you not hear?"
قُلْ اَرَءَيْتُمْ اِنْ جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكُمُ النَّهَارَ سَرْمَدًا اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ مَنْ اِلٰهٌ غَيْرُ اللّٰهِ يَأْتِيْكُمْ بِلَيْلٍ تَسْكُنُوْنَ فِيْهِ ۗ اَفَلَا تُبْصِرُوْنَ٧٢
Qul ara'aitum in ja‘alallāhu ‘alaikumun-nahāra sarmadan ilā yaumil-qiyāmati man ilāhun gairullāhi ya'tīkum bilailin taskunūna fīh(i), afalā tubṣirūn(a).
[72]
Say, "Have you considered: if Allah should make for you the day continuous until the Day of Resurrection, what deity other than Allah could bring you a night in which you may rest? Then will you not see?"
وَمِنْ رَّحْمَتِهٖ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ لِتَسْكُنُوْا فِيْهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوْا مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَ٧٣
Wa mir raḥmatihī ja‘ala lakumul-laila wan-nahāra litaskunū fīhi wa litabtagū min faḍlihī wa la‘allakum tasykurūn(a).
[73]
And out of His mercy He made for you the night and the day that you may rest therein and [by day] seek from His bounty and [that] perhaps you will be grateful.
وَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيْهِمْ فَيَقُوْلُ اَيْنَ شُرَكَاۤءِيَ الَّذِيْنَ كُنْتُمْ تَزْعُمُوْنَ٧٤
Wa yauma yunādīhim fayaqūlu aina syurakā'iyal-lażīna kuntum taz‘umūn(a).
[74]
And [warn of] the Day He will call them and say, "Where are my 'partners' which you used to claim?"
وَنَزَعْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ اُمَّةٍ شَهِيْدًا فَقُلْنَا هَاتُوْا بُرْهَانَكُمْ فَعَلِمُوْٓا اَنَّ الْحَقَّ لِلّٰهِ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا يَفْتَرُوْنَ ࣖ٧٥
Wa naza‘nā min kulli ummatin syahīdan faqulnā hātū burhānakum fa‘alimū annal-ḥaqqa lillāhi wa ḍalla ‘anhum mā kānū yaftarūn(a).
[75]
And We will extract from every nation a witness and say, "Produce your proof," and they will know that the truth belongs to Allah, and lost from them is that which they used to invent.
۞ اِنَّ قَارُوْنَ كَانَ مِنْ قَوْمِ مُوْسٰى فَبَغٰى عَلَيْهِمْ ۖوَاٰتَيْنٰهُ مِنَ الْكُنُوْزِ مَآ اِنَّ مَفَاتِحَهٗ لَتَنُوْۤاُ بِالْعُصْبَةِ اُولِى الْقُوَّةِ اِذْ قَالَ لَهٗ قَوْمُهٗ لَا تَفْرَحْ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْفَرِحِيْنَ٧٦
Inna qārūna kāna min qaumi mūsā fabagā ‘alaihim, wa ātaināhu minal-kunūzi mā inna mafātiḥahū latanū'u bil-‘uṣbati ulil-quwwah(ti), iż qāla lahū qaumuhū lā tafraḥ, innallāha lā yuḥibbul-fariḥīn(a).
[76]
Indeed, Qarun was from the people of Moses, but he tyrannized them. And We gave him of treasures whose keys would burden a band of strong men; thereupon his people said to him, "Do not exult. Indeed, Allah does not like the exultant.
وَابْتَغِ فِيْمَآ اٰتٰىكَ اللّٰهُ الدَّارَ الْاٰخِرَةَ وَلَا تَنْسَ نَصِيْبَكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَاَحْسِنْ كَمَآ اَحْسَنَ اللّٰهُ اِلَيْكَ وَلَا تَبْغِ الْفَسَادَ فِى الْاَرْضِ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُفْسِدِيْنَ٧٧
Wabtagi fīmā ātākallāhud-dāral-ākhirata wa lā tansa naṣībaka minad-dun-yā wa aḥsin kama aḥsanallāhu ilaika wa lā tabgil-fasāda fil-arḍ(i), innallāha lā yuḥibbul-mufsidīn(a).
[77]
But seek, through that which Allah has given you, the home of the Hereafter; and [yet], do not forget your share of the world. And do good as Allah has done good to you. And desire not corruption in the land. Indeed, Allah does not like corrupters."
قَالَ اِنَّمَآ اُوْتِيْتُهٗ عَلٰى عِلْمٍ عِنْدِيْۗ اَوَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ قَدْ اَهْلَكَ مِنْ قَبْلِهٖ مِنَ الْقُرُوْنِ مَنْ هُوَ اَشَدُّ مِنْهُ قُوَّةً وَّاَكْثَرُ جَمْعًا ۗوَلَا يُسْـَٔلُ عَنْ ذُنُوْبِهِمُ الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ٧٨
Qāla innamā ūtītuhū ‘alā ‘ilmin ‘indī, awalam ya‘lam annallāha qad ahlaka min qablihī minal-qurūni man huwa asyaddu minhu quwwataw wa akṡaru jam‘ā(n), wa lā yus'alu ‘an żunūbihimul-mujrimūn(a).
[78]
He said, "I was only given it because of knowledge I have." Did he not know that Allah had destroyed before him of generations those who were greater than him in power and greater in accumulation [of wealth]? But the criminals, about their sins, will not be asked.
فَخَرَجَ عَلٰى قَوْمِهٖ فِيْ زِيْنَتِهٖ ۗقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ يُرِيْدُوْنَ الْحَيٰوةَ الدُّنْيَا يٰلَيْتَ لَنَا مِثْلَ مَآ اُوْتِيَ قَارُوْنُۙ اِنَّهٗ لَذُوْ حَظٍّ عَظِيْمٍ٧٩
Fa kharaja ‘alā qaumihī fī zīnatih(ī), qālal-lażīna yurīdūnal-ḥayātad-dun-yā yā laita lanā miṡla mā ūtiya qārūn(u), innahū lażū ḥaẓẓin ‘aẓīm(in).
[79]
So he came out before his people in his adornment. Those who desired the worldly life said, "Oh, would that we had like what was given to Qarun. Indeed, he is one of great fortune."
وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوا الْعِلْمَ وَيْلَكُمْ ثَوَابُ اللّٰهِ خَيْرٌ لِّمَنْ اٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا ۚوَلَا يُلَقّٰىهَآ اِلَّا الصّٰبِرُوْنَ٨٠
Wa qālal-lażīna ūtul-‘ilma wailakum ṡawābullāhi khairul liman āmana wa ‘amila ṣāliḥā(n), wa lā yulaqqāhā illaṣ-ṣābirūn(a).
[80]
But those who had been given knowledge said, "Woe to you! The reward of Allah is better for he who believes and does righteousness. And none are granted it except the patient."
فَخَسَفْنَا بِهٖ وَبِدَارِهِ الْاَرْضَ ۗفَمَا كَانَ لَهٗ مِنْ فِئَةٍ يَّنْصُرُوْنَهٗ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ ۖوَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُنْتَصِرِيْنَ٨١
Fakhasafnā bihī wa bidārihil-arḍ(a), famā kāna lahū min fi'atiy yanṣurūnahū min dūnillāh(i), wa mā kāna minal-muntaṣirīn(a).
[81]
And We caused the earth to swallow him and his home. And there was for him no company to aid him other than Allah, nor was he of those who [could] defend themselves.
وَاَصْبَحَ الَّذِيْنَ تَمَنَّوْا مَكَانَهٗ بِالْاَمْسِ يَقُوْلُوْنَ وَيْكَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهٖ وَيَقْدِرُۚ لَوْلَآ اَنْ مَّنَّ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْنَا لَخَسَفَ بِنَا ۗوَيْكَاَنَّهٗ لَا يُفْلِحُ الْكٰفِرُوْنَ ࣖ٨٢
Wa aṣbaḥal-lażīna tamannau makānahū bil-amsi yaqūlūna waika'annallāha yabsuṭur-rizqa limay yasyā'u min ‘ibādihī wa yaqdir(u), lau lā am mannallāhu ‘alainā lakhasafa binā, waika'annahū lā yufliḥul-kāfirūn(a).
[82]
And those who had wished for his position the previous day began to say, "Oh, how Allah extends provision to whom He wills of His servants and restricts it! If not that Allah had conferred favor on us, He would have caused it to swallow us. Oh, how the disbelievers do not succeed!"
تِلْكَ الدَّارُ الْاٰخِرَةُ نَجْعَلُهَا لِلَّذِيْنَ لَا يُرِيْدُوْنَ عُلُوًّا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَلَا فَسَادًا ۗوَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِيْنَ٨٣
Tilkad-dārul-ākhiratu naj‘aluhā lil-lażīna lā yurīdūna ‘uluwwan fil-arḍi wa lā fasādā(n), wal-‘āqibatu lil-muttaqīn(a).
[83]
That home of the Hereafter We assign to those who do not desire exaltedness upon the earth or corruption. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous.
مَنْ جَاۤءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهٗ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهَاۚ وَمَنْ جَاۤءَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَلَا يُجْزَى الَّذِيْنَ عَمِلُوا السَّيِّاٰتِ اِلَّا مَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ٨٤
Man jā'a bil-ḥasanati falahū khairum minhā, wa man jā'a bis-sayyi'ati falā yujzal-lażīna ‘amilus-sayyi'āti illā mā kānū ya‘malūn(a).
[84]
Whoever comes [on the Day of Judgement] with a good deed will have better than it; and whoever comes with an evil deed - then those who did evil deeds will not be recompensed except [as much as] what they used to do.
اِنَّ الَّذِيْ فَرَضَ عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْاٰنَ لَرَاۤدُّكَ اِلٰى مَعَادٍ ۗقُلْ رَّبِّيْٓ اَعْلَمُ مَنْ جَاۤءَ بِالْهُدٰى وَمَنْ هُوَ فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيْنٍ٨٥
Innal-lażī faraḍa ‘alaikal-qur'āna larādduka ilā ma‘ād(in), qur rabbī a‘lamu man jā'a bil-hudā wa man huwa fī ḍalālim mubīn(in).
[85]
Indeed, [O Muhammad], He who imposed upon you the Qur'an will take you back to a place of return. Say, "My Lord is most knowing of who brings guidance and who is in clear error."
وَمَا كُنْتَ تَرْجُوْٓا اَنْ يُّلْقٰٓى اِلَيْكَ الْكِتٰبُ اِلَّا رَحْمَةً مِّنْ رَّبِّكَ فَلَا تَكُوْنَنَّ ظَهِيْرًا لِّلْكٰفِرِيْنَ ۖ٨٦
Wa mā kunta tarjū ay yulqā ilaikal-kitābu illā raḥmatam mir rabbika falā takūnanna ẓahīral lil-kāfirīn(a).
[86]
And you were not expecting that the Book would be conveyed to you, but [it is] a mercy from your Lord. So do not be an assistant to the disbelievers.
وَلَا يَصُدُّنَّكَ عَنْ اٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ بَعْدَ اِذْ اُنْزِلَتْ اِلَيْكَ وَادْعُ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِيْنَ ۚ٨٧
Wa lā yaṣuddunnaka ‘an āyātillāhi ba‘da iż unzilat ilaika wad‘u ilā rabbika wa lā takūnanna minal-musyrikīn(a).
[87]
And never let them avert you from the verses of Allah after they have been revealed to you. And invite [people] to your Lord. And never be of those who associate others with Allah.
وَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهًا اٰخَرَۘ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۗ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ هَالِكٌ اِلَّا وَجْهَهٗ ۗ لَهُ الْحُكْمُ وَاِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ ࣖ٨٨
Wa lā tad‘u ma‘allāhi ilāhan ākhar(a), lā ilāha illā huw(a), kullu syai'in hālikun illā wajhah(ū), lahul-ḥukmu wa ilaihi turja‘ūn(a).
[88]
And do not invoke with Allah another deity. There is no deity except Him. Everything will be destroyed except His Face. His is the judgement, and to Him you will be returned.
