|
إِلَّا تَذْكِرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَى |

But (it was sent to you) as a reminder for those who are in awe (of God), |
|
تَنزِيلًا مِّمَّنْ خَلَقَ الْأَرْضَ وَالسَّمَاوَاتِ الْعُلَى |
|

This is a gradual Revelation (of the Quran) from the One, Who created the earth and the high heavens, |

|
5- |
The Most Gracious (Who gave existence to all beings), Who harmonized the universe by his control. |

لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَمَا تَحْتَ الثَّرَى |
|
6- |
To Him belongs all that is in the
heavens and all that is on the earth and all that is in between them and under the surface, |

وَإِن تَجْهَرْ بِالْقَوْلِ فَإِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ السِّرَّ وَأَخْفَى |
|
7- |
And if you talk aloud (or pray to Him in
your heart), He of course knows the secret and whatever is hidden (in your hearts). |

Have you heard the story of Moses? |
|
إِذْ رَأَى نَارًا فَقَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ امْكُثُوا إِنِّي آنَسْتُ نَارًا لَّعَلِّي آتِيكُم مِّنْهَا بِقَبَسٍ أَوْ أَجِدُ عَلَى النَّارِ هُدًى |
|
10- |
When he saw a fire ( in the desert
valley) and said to his family: “Wait here, I have really seen a fire there, maybe I can bring you some of it or find some guidance by the fire.” |
|
فَلَمَّا أَتَاهَا نُودِي يَا مُوسَى |
|
11- |
And then when he reached there, he was called: ”O Moses”. |
|
إِنِّي أَنَا رَبُّكَ فَاخْلَعْ نَعْلَيْكَ إِنَّكَ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى |
|
12- |
“I am truly your Lord. Take off your shoes, as you are now in the sacred valley of Tuwa". 2 |

|
13- |
“And I have chosen you (as a messenger), so listen to that which will be revealed (to you).” |
|
إِنَّنِي أَنَا اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنَا فَاعْبُدْنِي وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ لِذِكْرِي |
|
14- |
“Certainly I am God. None is worthy of worship except I. So worship Me only and stand up for prayer as a means for you to remember Me.” |
|
إِنَّ السَّاعَةَ ءاَتِيَةٌ أَكَادُ أُخْفِيهَا لِتُجْزَى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا تَسْعَى |
|
15- |
“The hour (Time of Judgment) will definitely come in the future,
I shall keep it (its time) hidden (as a secret); so that every person may be rewarded according to his or her efforts.” |
|
فَلاَ يَصُدَّنَّكَ عَنْهَا مَنْ لاَ يُؤْمِنُ بِهَا وَاتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ فَتَرْدَى |
|
16- |
“So don’t let anyone who does not believe
in it (in the Judgment Time), but follows his own desires and lust, to prevent you from believing in it (in its truth). Otherwise you will be lost and doomed.” |
|
وَمَا تِلْكَ بِيَمِينِكَ يَا مُوسَى |
|
17- |
“O Moses, what is that thing which is in your right hand?" |
|
قَالَ هِيَ عَصَايَ أَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَيْهَا وَأَهُشُّ بِهَا عَلَى غَنَمِي وَلِيَ فِيهَا مَآرِبُ أُخْرَى |
|
18- |
He (Moses) said: “This is my stick, on which I lean and I use it to hit branches to drop (dried) leaves for my sheep and goats and I have other uses with it.” |
|
قَالَ أَلْقِهَا يَا مُوسَى |
|
19- |
God said: “O Moses, throw it (your stick) down.” |
|
فَأَلْقَاهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ حَيَّةٌ تَسْعَى |
|
20- |
When he threw it down, it then became a serpent, moving around. |
|
قَالَ خُذْهَا وَلَا تَخَفْ سَنُعِيدُهَا سِيرَتَهَا الْأُولَى |
|
21- |
(God) said: “Now grasp it and don’t be afraid, as we will turn it back to its former state and shape.” |
|
وَاضْمُمْ يَدَكَ إِلَى جَنَاحِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَاء مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوءٍ آيَةً أُخْرَى |
|
22- |
“Also place your hand under your (opposite)
armpit, it will come forth shining white, without any harm or illness, as another Miracle.” |
|
لِنُرِيَكَ مِنْ آيَاتِنَا الْكُبْرَى |
|
23- |
“These are to show you some of Our Great Signs and Miracles.” |
|
اذْهَبْ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَى |
|

“Go to the Pharaoh, he has indeed trespassed the limits (as an arrogant tyrant).” |
|
قَالَ رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي |
|
25- |
Moses Said: “O my Lord, open up my heart (with courage and insight),” |
|
وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي |
|
26- |
“And make my task easy for me,” |
|
وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِّن لِّسَانِي |
|
27- |
“Also loosen up the knot (stuttering) from my tongue,” |
|
يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي |
|
28- |
“So the people understand my speech,” |
|
وَاجْعَل لِّي وَزِيرًا مِّنْ أَهْلِي |
|
29- |
“And appoint an assistant for me from my family,” |
|
هَارُونَ أَخِي |
|
30- |
“My brother, Aaron”, |
|
اشْدُدْ بِهِ أَزْرِي |
|
31- |
“Strengthen me by him,” |
|
وَأَشْرِكْهُ فِي أَمْرِي |
|
32- |
“And allow him to share my task.” |
|
كَيْ نُسَبِّحَكَ كَثِيرًا |
|
33- |
“So that we shall glorify you so much,” |
|
وَنَذْكُرَكَ كَثِيرًا |

“And remember you often, a lot,” |
|
إِنَّكَ كُنتَ بِنَا بَصِيرًا |
|
35- |
“As You are Ever Observing over us.” |
|
قَالَ قَدْ أُوتِيتَ سُؤْلَكَ يَا مُوسَى |
|
36- |
(God) said: “O Moses, You are granted your request,” |
|
وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَيْكَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى |
|
37- |
37. “And indeed We had granted you a favor another time, in the past,” |
|
إِذْ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى أُمِّكَ مَا يُوحَى |
|
38- |
“When We inspired your mother with the inspiration (for saving your life);” |
|
أَنِ اقْذِفِيهِ فِي التَّابُوتِ فَاقْذِفِيهِ فِي الْيَمِّ فَلْيُلْقِهِ الْيَمُّ بِالسَّاحِلِ يَأْخُذْهُ عَدُوٌّ لِّي وَعَدُوٌّ لَّهُ وَأَلْقَيْتُ عَلَيْكَ مَحَبَّةً مِّنِّي وَلِتُصْنَعَ عَلَى عَيْنِي |
|
39- |
“Urging her (your mother): Place the infant (Moses) in
a box and put it onto the river (Nile), then the stream of the river will cast him onto the shore and an enemy of Mine and his enemy shall pick him up.” And I spelled a special affection from Me towards you (Moses, in the hearts of those who picked you up from the box), so that you would be brought up under My Attention. |
|
إِذْ تَمْشِي
أُخْتُكَ فَتَقُولُ هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى مَن يَكْفُلُهُ
فَرَجَعْنَاكَ إِلَى أُمِّكَ كَيْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَ
وَقَتَلْتَ نَفْسًا فَنَجَّيْنَاكَ |
|
40- |
Remember when your sister went (to the
people who had received you from the box in the river) and told them: “May I show you the person who can nurse him?” So (they accepted and) We returned you to your mother, so that her eyes would light up with joy and that she would not be sad. And later on, you killed a man, but We saved you from distress and tried you with multiple trials. Then you spent years among the people of Madyan (Midian). Then you came here (to become a prophet) by Our Decision, O Moses”. |
|
وَاصْطَنَعْتُكَ لِنَفْسِي |
|
41- |
“And I have chosen and prepared you for My service.” |
|
اذْهَبْ أَنتَ وَأَخُوكَ بِآيَاتِي وَلَا تَنِيَا فِي ذِكْرِي |
|
42- |
“You and your brother go on to the mission with My Signs and Miracles and do not neglect remembering Me. |
|
اذْهَبَا إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَى |
|
43- |
Both of you, go to the Pharaoh, as he has indeed trespassed all limits (of decent behavior, as an arrogant tyrant). |
|
فَقُولَا لَهُ قَوْلًا لَّيِّنًا لَّعَلَّهُ يَتَذَكَّرُ أَوْ يَخْشَى |
|
44- |
And speak to him in a mild manner, so that he
might have a chance to think or even become humble and fearful (about the consequences of his behavior). |
|
قَالَا رَبَّنَا إِنَّنَا نَخَافُ أَن يَفْرُطَ عَلَيْنَا أَوْ أَن يَطْغَى |
|
45- |
They (Moses and Aaron) said: "Our Lord, We really are afraid
that he might get excessively and hastily harsh on us or behave irresponsibly (rebelling against us).” |
|
قَالَ لَا تَخَافَا إِنَّنِي مَعَكُمَا أَسْمَعُ وَأَرَى |
|
46- |
(God) said: “Don’t be afraid, I am indeed with the two of you, I hear and I see everything.” |
|
فَأْتِيَاهُ فَقُولَا إِنَّا رَسُولَا رَبِّكَ فَأَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَا تُعَذِّبْهُمْ قَدْ جِئْنَاكَ بِآيَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكَ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الْهُدَى |
|
47- |
“So go on, both of you to him and tell
him: "Indeed, we are Messengers of your Lord, so let the children of Israel (descendents of Jacob) go with us and don’t make them suffer (anymore). We have indeed come to you with a Message of your Lord. And peace shall be upon those who follow His guidance. |
|
إِنَّا قَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيْنَا أَنَّ الْعَذَابَ عَلَى مَن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى |
|
48- |
“In fact it has been revealed to us that suffering will occur
on all who claim the Message (of God) to be a lie and turn away (from it).” |
|
قَالَ فَمَن رَّبُّكُمَا يَا مُوسَى |
|
49- |
The Pharaoh said: “ Who is then your Lord, O Moses?” |
|
قَالَ رَبُّنَا الَّذِي أَعْطَى كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلْقَهُ ثُمَّ هَدَى |
|
50- |
He said: “Our Lord is the One Who has given
everything (that exists), its creation, form and nature, He also gives them instinct, conscience and guidance. |
|
قَالَ فَمَا بَالُ الْقُرُونِ الْأُولَى |
|
51- |
Pharaoh asked: “And what about the past generations?” |
|
قَالَ عِلْمُهَا عِندَ رَبِّي فِي كِتَابٍ لَّا يَضِلُّ رَبِّي وَلَا يَنسَى |
|
52- |
Moses said: “The knowledge of their
situation rests with My Lord, all in a recorded form. My Lord neither makes any mistakes, nor forgets anything.” |
|
الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ مَهْدًا وَسَلَكَ لَكُمْ فِيهَا سُبُلًا وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِ أَزْوَاجًا مِّن نَّبَاتٍ شَتَّى |
|
53- |
"He is the One, Who made the earth as a
cradle (and a place for your growth) and laid ways and means for you on it and He sent water down from the sky.” And by that, We have brought forth all kinds of plants and vegetations |
|
كُلُوا وَارْعَوْا أَنْعَامَكُمْ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّأُوْلِي النُّهَى |
|
54- |
Eat and pasture your animal herds, In
observing this phenomenon (of means of feeding), there are definitely signs (of the Creator’s Might and Design) for people capable of reasoning and understanding. |
|
مِنْهَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمْ وَمِنْهَا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تَارَةً أُخْرَى |
|
55- |
From its content (of earth), We have
created you and back into it We return you and out of it We shall bring you forth once again. |
|
وَلَقَدْ أَرَيْنَاهُ آيَاتِنَا كُلَّهَا فَكَذَّبَ وَأَبَى |
|
56- |
And in fact We showed all Our signs
and Messages to him (the Pharaoh), but he denied and refused (to consider them). |
|
قَالَ أَجِئْتَنَا لِتُخْرِجَنَا مِنْ أَرْضِنَا بِسِحْرِكَ يَا مُوسَى |
|
57- |
He (the Pharaoh) said (to Moses and
Aaron): “Have you come to drive us out of our land with your magic and sorcery, O Moses?” |
|
فَلَنَأْتِيَنَّكَ بِسِحْرٍ مِّثْلِهِ فَاجْعَلْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ مَوْعِدًا لَّا نُخْلِفُهُ نَحْنُ وَلَا أَنتَ مَكَانًا سُوًى |
|
58- |
“Then we will of course produce before
you a magic similar to it. So arrange for an appointment between us and you, which neither we, nor you shall not miss or fail to keep it, at a suitable place |
|
قَالَ مَوْعِدُكُمْ يَوْمُ الزِّينَةِ وَأَن يُحْشَرَ النَّاسُ ضُحًى |
|
59- |
(Moses) said: “Your appointment shall be the day of the festival and let people gather when the sun has risen high.” |
|
فَتَوَلَّى فِرْعَوْنُ فَجَمَعَ كَيْدَهُ ثُمَّ أَتَى |
|
60- |
Then the Pharaoh withdrew, later he gathered
his trick team (of magicians and sorcerers) and then later on arrived (at the place of appointment). |
|
قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَى وَيْلَكُمْ لَا تَفْتَرُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا فَيُسْحِتَكُمْ بِعَذَابٍ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنِ افْتَرَى |
|
61- |
Moses told them: “Woe unto you, don’t
produce a lie (and magic) against God,
since he would punish you. And surely whoever invented a lie (against God), always failed”. |
|
فَتَنَازَعُوا أَمْرَهُم بَيْنَهُمْ وَأَسَرُّوا النَّجْوَى |
|
62- |
They (the magicians) then debated their tactic among themselves and kept their talk secret. |
|
قَالُوا إِنْ هَذَانِ لَسَاحِرَانِ يُرِيدَانِ أَن يُخْرِجَاكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِمَا وَيَذْهَبَا بِطَرِيقَتِكُمُ الْمُثْلَى |
|
63- |
They said: “These two guys (Moses and his
brother Aaron) are definitely two magicians, who intend to drive you out of our land by their magic and destroy your way of life.” |
|
فَأَجْمِعُوا كَيْدَكُمْ ثُمَّ ائْتُوا صَفًّا وَقَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْيَوْمَ مَنِ اسْتَعْلَى |
|
64- |
“Therefore gather your plotting-team and
then arrive and stay in a line. And of course whoever prevails today, will definitely be successful and prosperous |
|
قَالُوا يَا مُوسَى إِمَّا أَن تُلْقِيَ وَإِمَّا أَن نَّكُونَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَلْقَى |
|
65- |
(At the showdown,) they said: “O Moses, are you going to throw your (magical) stuff first or shall we throw first?” |
|
قَالَ بَلْ أَلْقُوا فَإِذَا حِبَالُهُمْ وَعِصِيُّهُمْ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ مِن سِحْرِهِمْ أَنَّهَا تَسْعَى |
|
66- |
Moses said: “No, you throw (first)”. And then their ropes and their sticks (by their magical movements) appeared to him (Moses) as if they were moving fast. |
|
فَأَوْجَسَ فِي نَفْسِهِ خِيفَةً مُّوسَى |
|
67- |
So Moses felt a fear in himself. |
|
قُلْنَا لَا تَخَفْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْأَعْلَى |
|
68- |
We (God) said: “Don’t be afraid, surely you will have the upper hand,” |
|
وَأَلْقِ مَا فِي يَمِينِكَ تَلْقَفْ مَا صَنَعُوا إِنَّمَا صَنَعُوا كَيْدُ سَاحِرٍ وَلَا يُفْلِحُ السَّاحِرُ حَيْثُ أَتَى |
|
69- |
“And throw what is in your right hand, it
will swallow up whatever they have made up. What they produced is in fact only a magician’s trick and the magician will not succeed no matter to what level of skills he reaches.” |
|
فَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سُجَّدًا قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ هَارُونَ وَمُوسَى |
|
70- |
Then (when Moses’ stick became a serpent
and swallowed up the magicians stuff) the magicians fell down on their knees and placed their foreheads on the ground. They said : “We have come to believe in the Lord of Aaron and Moses”. |
|
قَالَ
آمَنتُمْ لَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ آذَنَ لَكُمْ إِنَّهُ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ
الَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَ فَلَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ |
|
71- |
The Pharaoh said:” You believe in him
(Moses) before I give you permission? He must be your chief who taught you magic. So I will certainly have your hands and your feet cut off on opposite sides and I will surely have you crucified on the trunks of the date-palm trees and you shall know which one of us (Pharaoh or the Lord of Moses) is more severe in punishment and more lasting”. |
|
قَالُوا لَن نُّؤْثِرَكَ عَلَى مَا جَاءنَا مِنَ الْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالَّذِي فَطَرَنَا فَاقْضِ مَا أَنتَ قَاضٍ إِنَّمَا تَقْضِي هَذِهِ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا |
|
72- |
They said: “We don’t value you (Pharaoh)
compared to the amount and degree of signs and miracle that have been shown to us and (we do not compare you with) the One who designed and created us. So order whatever you want to order, you are not a real judge. But you can only order and command during the life in this world.” |
|
إِنَّا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّنَا لِيَغْفِرَ لَنَا خَطَايَانَا وَمَا أَكْرَهْتَنَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ السِّحْرِ وَاللَّهُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَى |
|
73- |
“We have surely believed in our Lord,
hoping He may forgive us for our wrongdoings and faults and the magic-making that you forced us to do against that (His Will and against our will). And God is better and Everlasting”. |
|
إِنَّهُ مَن يَأْتِ رَبَّهُ مُجْرِمًا فَإِنَّ لَهُ جَهَنَّمَ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيى |
|
74- |
In fact, when a person is resurrected to
his Lord, having been a sinner-criminal (in his lifetime), his place will be Hell, in which he neither dies nor lives. |
|
وَمَنْ يَأْتِهِ مُؤْمِنًا قَدْ عَمِلَ الصَّالِحَاتِ فَأُوْلَئِكَ لَهُمُ الدَّرَجَاتُ الْعُلَى |
|
75- |
But when a person comes to Him as
a believer, having done good deeds, for such persons there are high ranks and status. |
|
جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا وَذَلِكَ جَزَاء مَن تَزَكَّى |
|
76- |
Gardens of Eden (Paradise, the everlasting gardens) below which rivers
and streams flow, they will reside in it
(Paradise) forever and such is the reward for those who purify themselves (from evil thoughts, bad words and evil behavior). |
|
وَلَقَدْ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى مُوسَى أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِي فَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ طَرِيقًا فِي الْبَحْرِ يَبَسًا لَّا تَخَافُ دَرَكًا وَلَا تَخْشَى |
|
77- |
And indeed We revealed to Moses, saying:
“Travel away with my good servants at night time and make a dry way through the water (to a dry area), neither fearing to be overtaken (by Pharaoh’s men) nor being afraid otherwise". |
|
فَأَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ بِجُنُودِهِ فَغَشِيَهُم مِّنَ الْيَمِّ مَا غَشِيَهُمْ |
|
78- |
Then the Pharaoh pursued them with his army
men, then water from the sea overwhelmed them, which covered them up completely. |
|
وَأَضَلَّ فِرْعَوْنُ قَوْمَهُ وَمَا هَدَى |
|
79- |
And so the Pharaoh misguided his people in the wrong direction and he did not guide them correctly. |
|
يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ أَنجَيْنَاكُم مِّنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ وَوَاعَدْنَاكُمْ جَانِبَ الطُّورِ الْأَيْمَنَ وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَنَّ وَالسَّلْوَى |
|
80- |
O
Children of Israel (of Jacob), We saved and delivered you from your
enemy and made a covenant (promise) with you on the right side of the Mount (Sinai) and We provided you with foods of sweetness and birds (quails). |
|
كُلُوا مِن طَيِّبَاتِ مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْ وَلَا تَطْغَوْا فِيهِ فَيَحِلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ غَضَبِي وَمَن يَحْلِلْ عَلَيْهِ غَضَبِي فَقَدْ هَوَى |
|
81- |
(Saying:) Eat of the good foods that we
have provided for you and do not trespass and transgress the limits (that God determined for you), otherwise. My Anger would hit you justly. And to whomever My Anger becomes deserving, indeed will perish. |
|
وَإِنِّي لَغَفَّارٌ لِّمَن تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا ثُمَّ اهْتَدَى |
|
82- |
And indeed I am Forgiving to whom, who
repents, believes (in Me) and does righteous good deeds, also continues to follow the guidance (from Me). |
|
وَمَا أَعْجَلَكَ عَن قَوْمِكَ يَا مُوسَى |
|
83- |
(When Moses had gone alone to receive orders
and guidance from God, He asked him:) "What made you hurry and come away from your people, O Moses?" |
|
قَالَ هُمْ أُولَاء عَلَى أَثَرِي وَعَجِلْتُ إِلَيْكَ رَبِّ لِتَرْضَى |
|
84- |
He answered saying: “ They are closely following me, and I hurried up to You, O my Lord, that you may be pleased”. |
|
ققَالَ فَإِنَّا قَدْ فَتَنَّا قَوْمَكَ مِن بَعْدِكَ وَأَضَلَّهُمُ السَّامِرِيُّ |
|
85- |
(God) said: “After you left, We have indeed tested your people and Assamiri (an influential person) has misled them.” |
|
فَرَجَعَ مُوسَى إِلَى قَوْمِهِ غَضْبَانَ أَسِفًا قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ
أَلَمْ يَعِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ وَعْدًا حَسَنًا أَفَطَالَ |
|
86- |
So Moses returned to his people angry and
sad. He Said: “O my people, did your Lord not give you a nice promise (if you would behave)? Did the promise seem delayed to you? Or you wanted to deserve a anger from your Lord that you broke your promise to me?" 3 |
|
قَالُوا مَا أَخْلَفْنَا مَوْعِدَكَ بِمَلْكِنَا وَلَكِنَّا حُمِّلْنَا أَوْزَارًا مِّن زِينَةِ الْقَوْمِ فَقَذَفْنَاهَا فَكَذَلِكَ أَلْقَى السَّامِرِيُّ |
|
87- |
They said “We did not break the promise
of our own will, but we were forced to carry the weights of the jewelry-ornaments of the people (Pharaoh's people), so we just threw them (into the fire), just as Assamiri had thrown his in (and suggested that we do the same).” |
|
فَأَخْرَجَ لَهُمْ عِجْلًا جَسَدًا لَهُ خُوَارٌ فَقَالُوا هَذَا إِلَهُكُمْ وَإِلَهُ مُوسَى فَنَسِيَ |
|
88- |
He then made for them, out (of the molten jewelry),
a calf shaped statue which made a lowing sound (by wind or when blown into it). They then claimed: “This is your idol-god and the idol-god of Moses but he forgot (the promises which they made with Moses to worship none but God) ”. |
|
أَفَلَا يَرَوْنَ أَلَّا يَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِمْ قَوْلًا وَلَا يَمْلِكُ لَهُمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا |
|
89- |
Couldn't they notice that it could not answer
them a word and it did not have any ability to cause them any harm or any benefit? |
|
وَلَقَدْ قَالَ لَهُمْ هَارُونُ مِن قَبْلُ يَا قَوْمِ إِنَّمَا فُتِنتُم بِهِ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ الرَّحْمَنُ فَاتَّبِعُونِي وَأَطِيعُوا أَمْرِي |
|
90- |
Indeed Aaron had already told them:
“O my people, you have been tested by this, and in reality your Lord is the Most Gracious (Who gave you existence and everything else). So please follow me and obey my order (not Assamiri’s)” |
|
قَالُوا لَن نَّبْرَحَ عَلَيْهِ عَاكِفِينَ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْنَا مُوسَى |
|
91- |
They responded: ”We will not stop worshipping it until Moses comes back to us.” |
|
قَالَ يَا هَارُونُ مَا مَنَعَكَ إِذْ رَأَيْتَهُمْ ضَلُّوا |
|
92- |
Moses (when he came back,) said:” O Aaron,
what prevented you from correcting them, when you saw that they had gone astray,” |
|
أَلَّا تَتَّبِعَنِ أَفَعَصَيْتَ أَمْرِي |
|
93- |
Why did not you following my advice? Have you (deliberately) disobeyed my order? |
|
قَالَ يَا ابْنَ أُمَّ لَا تَأْخُذْ بِلِحْيَتِي وَلَا بِرَأْسِي إِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَن تَقُولَ فَرَّقْتَ بَيْنَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَمْ تَرْقُبْ قَوْلِي |
|
94- |
He (Aaron) said: “ O son of my mother, don’t seize me by my beard nor by my head (hair).
I was afraid (upon your return) you would say: “You caused division among the children of Israel and you did not respect my word.” |
|
قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكَ يَا سَامِرِيُّ |
|
95- |
Moses said: “So what was the matter with you, O Assamiri (why did you do this)? “ |
|
قَالَ بَصُرْتُ بِمَا لَمْ يَبْصُرُوا بِهِ فَقَبَضْتُ قَبْضَةً مِّنْ أَثَرِ الرَّسُولِ فَنَبَذْتُهَا وَكَذَلِكَ سَوَّلَتْ لِي نَفْسِي |
|
96- |
(Assamiri) said: “I had gained insight into
something which they could not see. So I took some of the teachings and influence of the Messenger (Moses) disregarded and threw it away, this was which my ego suggested to me.” |
|
قَالَ
فَاذْهَبْ فَإِنَّ لَكَ فِي الْحَيَاةِ أَن تَقُولَ لَا مِسَاسَ
وَإِنَّ لَكَ مَوْعِدًا لَّنْ تُخْلَفَهُ |
|
97- |
Moses told him: “Then get lost, and your
life will be such that you (will be estranged and) would say:
“Don’t touch me and don’t have any contact with me.” and there is certainly a promised appointed time (for your punishment by God) which will not fail. And now look at your idol-god, which you wrongly worshipped. We will certainly put it in fire and then we will scatter its pieces in the sea”. |
|
إِنَّمَا إِلَهُكُمُ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَسِعَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا |
|
98- |
Your true God is Allah: God, the One Creator of all, no one is worthy of worship except He (the One True God). He has expanded all existence by His Knowledge. |
|
كَذَلِكَ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَنبَاء مَا قَدْ سَبَقَ وَقَدْ آتَيْنَاكَ مِن لَّدُنَّا ذِكْرًا |
|
99- |
So we relate to you (Muhammad) some of the news and
information of what happened in the past. And We have indeed given you from Us a Reminder (the Quran). |
|
مَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَحْمِلُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وِزْرًا |
|
100- |
Whoever turns away from it (the Quran),
shall definitely bear a grave and heavy burden (of responsibility and regret) on the Resurrection Day (because of disrespect for God’s Advice). |
|
خَالِدِينَ فِيهِ وَسَاء لَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حِمْلًا |
|
101- |
They will rest forever in that state and indeed they will be carrying an evil burden on the Resurrection Day. |
|
يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ وَنَحْشُرُ الْمُجْرِمِينَ يَوْمَئِذٍ زُرْقًا |
|
102- |
The Day when on the very loud trumpet
will be blown and We shall gather the criminal sinners, who will be blue (in fear). |
|
يَتَخَافَتُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا عَشْرًا |
|
103- |
They will tell each other in a low voice: “ You didn’t stay (in the previous existence) more than ten days.” |
|
نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ إِذْ يَقُولُ أَمْثَلُهُمْ طَرِيقَةً إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا يَوْمًا |
|
104- |
We know best what they will be saying;
when some of the most prominent of them will say: “You stayed not more than one day.” |
|
وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْجِبَالِ فَقُلْ يَنسِفُهَا رَبِّي نَسْفًا |
|
105- |
And they ask you about (what will happen
to) the mountains, Say: “My Lord will blast and scatter them as particles of dust,” |
|
فَيَذَرُهَا قَاعًا صَفْصَفًا |
|
106- |
“Then He shall make them as a level smooth plain,“ |
|
لَا تَرَى فِيهَا عِوَجًا وَلَا أَمْتًا |
|
107- |
“On which you won't see any crookedness, and rugged terrain or curves” |
|
يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَّبِعُونَ الدَّاعِيَ لَا عِوَجَ لَهُ وَخَشَعَت الْأَصْوَاتُ لِلرَّحْمَنِ فَلَا تَسْمَعُ إِلَّا هَمْسًا |
|
108- |
On that Day, everyone will follow the Caller
who does not have any crookedness, and all voices and sounds will be hushed before the Most Gracious (God) and you would hear nothing but low sounds of their steps. |
|
يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا تَنفَعُ الشَّفَاعَةُ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمَنُ وَرَضِيَ لَهُ قَوْلًا |
|
109- |
On that Day, intercession will be of no
benefit except for whom the Most Gracious (God) will have permitted and He has accepted his word. |
|
يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِهِ عِلْمًا |
|
110- |
He knows their situation (of the
present and what lies ahead of them) and whatever was in their
past, whereas they have no comprehensive knowledge about Him. |
|
وَعَنَتِ الْوُجُوهُ لِلْحَيِّ الْقَيُّومِ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنْ حَمَلَ ظُلْمًا |
|
111- |
And (on that Day) all faces will be
humbled for the Ever Living, Ever Sustaining One and whoever carries the burdens of injustice and wrongdoings, will be a loser and hopeless. |
|
وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِنَ الصَّالِحَاتِ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَا يَخَافُ ظُلْمًا وَلَا هَضْمًا |
|
112- |
And whoever does righteous good works
and is a real believer, then he should not fear any injustice, nor any reduction of his merits. |
|
وَكَذَلِكَ أَنزَلْنَاهُ قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا وَصَرَّفْنَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْوَعِيدِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ أَوْ يُحْدِثُ لَهُمْ ذِكْرًا |
|
113- |
And thus We have sent it down as a Quran, a reading in Arabic
and have explained in it of many warnings and promises, so that they may be conscious of God (the Truth) or that it would give them a lesson. |
|
فَتَعَالَى اللَّهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ وَلَا تَعْجَلْ بِالْقُرْآنِ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يُقْضَى إِلَيْكَ وَحْيُهُ وَقُل رَّبِّ زِدْنِي عِلْمًا |
|
114- |
(Know then that) High above all is God,
the True Ultimate Ruler, the Ultimate Truth and (O Muhammad) do not be hasty in receiving the Quran before its Revelation is revealed unto you and say: “O my Lord, increase my knowledge constantly”. |
|
وَلَقَدْ عَهِدْنَا إِلَى آدَمَ مِن قَبْلُ فَنَسِيَ وَلَمْ نَجِدْ لَهُ عَزْمًا |
|
115- |
And indeed, long ago We had made Our
Commandment – Covenant, mandatory upon Adam, but he forgot it and We did not find any firm will-power in him (in following Our Commandment Covenant). |
|
وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لِآدَمَ فَسَجَدُوا إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ أَبَى |
|
116- |
And (remember) when We told the angels:
“Prostrate yourselves before (the great creation of) Adam”. Then they all prostrated themselves except Iblis (Satan); he refused. |
|
فَقُلْنَا يَا آدَمُ إِنَّ هَذَا عَدُوٌّ لَّكَ وَلِزَوْجِكَ فَلَا يُخْرِجَنَّكُمَا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ فَتَشْقَى |
|
117- |
Then We said: “O Adam, be aware that
this (Satan) is an enemy to you and also to your wife, so don’t let him trick you and get you both out of the Garden, as a result of which you would have hard times and distress”. |
|
إِنَّ لَكَ أَلَّا تَجُوعَ فِيهَا وَلَا تَعْرَى |
|
118- |
Certainly for you it (the condition) will be so that, you will not be hungry or naked there. |
|
وَأَنَّكَ لَا تَظْمَأُ فِيهَا وَلَا تَضْحَى |
|
119- |
Also that there, you will not suffer from thirst, nor from the heat of the sun. |
|
فَوَسْوَسَ إِلَيْهِ الشَّيْطَانُ قَالَ يَا آدَمُ هَلْ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى شَجَرَةِ الْخُلْدِ وَمُلْكٍ لَّا يَبْلَى |
|
120- |
Then Satan tempted him, saying: "O Adam, may I lead you to the Tree of Eternity and to a kingdom which never perishes?" |
|
فَأَكَلَا مِنْهَا فَبَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْآتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخْصِفَانِ عَلَيْهِمَا مِن وَرَقِ الْجَنَّةِ وَعَصَى آدَمُ رَبَّهُ فَغَوَى |
|
121- |
So the two of them (Adam and Eve) ate of
it (of the fruit of it) and thereupon they became conscious of their nakedness, and they began to cover themselves with pieced-together leaves of the Garden and Adam disobeyed his Lord-Sustainer and so he went into the wrong direction. |
|
ثُمَّ اجْتَبَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيْهِ وَهَدَى |
|
122- |
Thereafter yet his Lord-sustainer chose him (for His Grace) and turned His Forgiveness unto him and guided him. |
|
قَالَ اهْبِطَا مِنْهَا جَمِيعًا بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ فَإِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُم مِّنِّي هُدًى فَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ هُدَايَ فَلَا يَضِلُّ وَلَا يَشْقَى |
|
123- |
God said: “You both and all of you get down from that place (the Garden,
from this state of innocence and), from among you (all your generations, as a result of that), some of you will be enemies to others. Yet whenever a guidance (Revelation) reaches you from Me, whoever then follows My Guidance, will not go wrong, nor shall be unhappy or distressed”. |
|
وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَى |
|
124- |
But whoever turns away from My Advice and
from remembering Me, as a result, such person will have a lifetime of narrowed scope (such as concentrating on money, sex etc) and (as he was blind to the Truth in his lifetime,) We will raise him up on the Day of Resurrection, blind (as well). |
|
قَالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرْتَنِي أَعْمَى وَقَدْ كُنتُ بَصِيرًا |
|
125- |
Such person would then say: “O my Lord, why did you raise me up blind, whereas I was able to see?” |
|
قَالَ كَذَلِكَ أَتَتْكَ آيَاتُنَا فَنَسِيتَهَا وَكَذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ تُنسَى |
|
126- |
(God) will say: “That is the way it is, Our Messages came to
you (via the Messengers – Prophets) but you basically neglected them. And for that reason, this Day you shall be disregarded”. |
|
وَكَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي مَنْ أَسْرَفَ وَلَمْ يُؤْمِن بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِ وَلَعَذَابُ الْآخِرَةِ أَشَدُّ وَأَبْقَى |
|
127- |
And so We recompense (pay back) a person who
wastes (his lifetime, engages in excessive sins) and does not believe in the Messages (Verses) of his Lord and of course the suffering (for the disbelievers) in the Hereafter is far more severe and more lasting. |
|
أَفَلَمْ يَهْدِ لَهُمْ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّنَ الْقُرُونِ يَمْشُونَ فِي مَسَاكِنِهِمْ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّأُوْلِي النُّهَى |
|
128- |
Isn’t there for them a point of guidance that
how many generations before them We made to perish, in whose devilling they walk now? 4 Certainly in this observation, there are lessons for people with wisdom. |
|
وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَكَانَ لِزَامًا وَأَجَلٌ مُسَمًّى |
|
129- |
And were it not for a Word of Decree,
previously mentioned by your Lord (to give the unbelievers chance to think and decide for the truth,) for a predetermined term, their punishment would have been necessarily immediate. |
|
فَاصْبِرْ عَلَى مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا وَمِنْ آنَاء اللَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْ وَأَطْرَافَ النَّهَارِ لَعَلَّكَ تَرْضَى |
|
130- |
Therefore have patience (O Muhammad) on what
they say, and gratefully glorify your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting and during some times of the night, do glorify Him as well around the daytimes, 5 so that you will have satisfaction and happiness (by remembering and praising God). |
|
وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَى مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِ أَزْوَاجًا مِّنْهُمْ زَهْرَةَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنيَا لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ وَرِزْقُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَى |
|
131- |
And do not extend the attention of your eyes
on the material things that We gave some of them, as décor of life of this world, to test them by that. But the provision of your Lord (rewards in the Hereafter as well as the spiritual provision of your Land in this world) is better and more lasting. |
|
وَأْمُرْ أَهْلَكَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَاصْطَبِرْ عَلَيْهَا لَا نَسْأَلُكَ رِزْقًا نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُكَ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلتَّقْوَى |
|
132- |
And do advise and order your family regarding prayer
and keep up at it (at regular prayers). We are not asking you for any favor (and provision), We are giving you favor and your needed (spiritual and material) provision. And the good end result, belongs to (those who observe) piety and righteousness. |
|
وَقَالُوا لَوْلَا يَأْتِينَا بِآيَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِ أَوَلَمْ تَأْتِهِم بَيِّنَةُ مَا فِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَى |
|
133- |
And they (unbelievers) say: “Why has he
(Muhammad) not come up with a sign or miracle of his Lord?” Has there not come to them an explanation of that which is in the previous Scriptures? (Torah and Gospel, regarding the coming of Muhammad). 6 |
|
وَلَوْ أَنَّا أَهْلَكْنَاهُم بِعَذَابٍ مِّن قَبْلِهِ لَقَالُوا رَبَّنَا لَوْلَا أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولًا فَنَتَّبِعَ آيَاتِكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن نَّذِلَّ وَنَخْزَى |
|
134- |
And if We had made them perish before him
(Muhammad), they would have said: “O our Lord, why haven’t You sent a Messenger to us so that we would have followed Your instructions, before we become humiliated and disgraced?” |
|
قُلْ كُلٌّ مُّتَرَبِّصٌ فَتَرَبَّصُوا فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَصْحَابُ الصِّرَاطِ السَّوِيِّ وَمَنِ اهْتَدَى |
|
135- |
Say: “Everyone is waiting and expecting (what will happen
to them, believer or non-believer), so you wait also. Then you shall know who are the ones on the correct path and those who has followed the Guidance”. |
|
