18. Al-Kahf

18:75

قَالَ اَلَمْ اَقُلْ لَّكَ اِنَّكَ لَنْ تَسْتَطِیْعَ مَعِیَ صَبْرًا

He said, “Did I not tell you that you can never bear with me patiently?”
18:76

قَالَ اِنْ سَاَلْتُكَ عَنْ شَیْءٍ بَعْدَهَا فَلَا تُصٰحِبْنِیْ ۚ قَدْ بَلَغْتَ مِنْ لَّدُنِّیْ عُذْرًا

He (Mūsā) said, “If I ask you about something after this, do not allow me your company. You have now reached a point where you have a valid excuse (to part with me) from my own side. “
18:77

فَانْطَلَقَا ۥ حَتّٰۤی اِذَاۤ اَتَیَاۤ اَهْلَ قَرْیَةِ سْتَطْعَمَاۤ اَهْلَهَا فَاَبَوْا اَنْ یُّضَیِّفُوْهُمَا فَوَجَدَا فِیْهَا جِدَارًا یُّرِیْدُ اَنْ یَّنْقَضَّ فَاَقَامَهٗ ؕ قَالَ لَوْ شِئْتَ لَتَّخَذْتَ عَلَیْهِ اَجْرًا

Then, they moved ahead until they came to the people of a town; they asked its people for food, and they refused to host them. Then, they found there a wall tending to fall down. So he (KhaDir) set it right. He (Mūsā) said, “If you wished, you could have charged a fee for this.”
18:78

قَالَ هٰذَا فِرَاقُ بَیْنِیْ وَبَیْنِكَ ۚ سَاُنَبِّئُكَ بِتَاْوِیْلِ مَا لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ عَّلَیْهِ صَبْرًا

He said, “Here is the point of parting ways between me and you. I shall now explain to you the reality of things about which you could not remain patient.
18:79

اَمَّا السَّفِیْنَةُ فَكَانَتْ لِمَسٰكِیْنَ یَعْمَلُوْنَ فِی الْبَحْرِ فَاَرَدْتُّ اَنْ اَعِیْبَهَا وَكَانَ وَرَآءَهُمْ مَّلِكٌ یَّاْخُذُ كُلَّ سَفِیْنَةٍ غَصْبًا

As for the boat, it belonged to some poor people who worked at sea. So I wanted to make it defective, as there was a king across them who used to usurp every boat by force.
18:80

وَاَمَّا الْغُلٰمُ فَكَانَ اَبَوٰهُ مُؤْمِنَیْنِ فَخَشِیْنَاۤ اَنْ یُّرْهِقَهُمَا طُغْیَانًا وَّكُفْرًا

As for the boy, his parents were believers. We apprehended that he would impose rebellion and infidelity upon them.
18:81

فَاَرَدْنَاۤ اَنْ یُّبْدِلَهُمَا رَبُّهُمَا خَیْرًا مِّنْهُ زَكٰوةً وَّاَقْرَبَ رُحْمًا

We, therefore, wished that their Lord would replace him with someone better than him in piety, and more akin to affection.
18:82

وَاَمَّا الْجِدَارُ فَكَانَ لِغُلٰمَیْنِ یَتِیْمَیْنِ فِی الْمَدِیْنَةِ وَكَانَ تَحْتَهٗ كَنْزٌ لَّهُمَا وَكَانَ اَبُوْهُمَا صَالِحًا ۚ فَاَرَادَ رَبُّكَ اَنْ یَّبْلُغَاۤ اَشُدَّهُمَا وَیَسْتَخْرِجَا كَنْزَهُمَا ۖۗ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ رَّبِّكَ ۚ وَمَا فَعَلْتُهٗ عَنْ اَمْرِیْ ؕ ذٰلِكَ تَاْوِیْلُ مَا لَمْ تَسْطِعْ عَّلَیْهِ صَبْرًا

As for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was a treasure beneath it belonging to them, and their father was a pious man. So your Lord willed that they should reach their maturity and dig out their treasure, as a mercy from your Lord. I did not do it on my own accord. This is the reality of things about which you could not remain patient.”
18:83

وَیَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ عَنْ ذِی الْقَرْنَیْنِ ؕ قُلْ سَاَتْلُوْا عَلَیْكُمْ مِّنْهُ ذِكْرًا

They ask you about Dhul-Qarnain. Say, “I shall now recite to you an account of him.”
18:84

اِنَّا مَكَّنَّا لَهٗ فِی الْاَرْضِ وَاٰتَیْنٰهُ مِنْ كُلِّ شَیْءٍ سَبَبًا

Surely, We gave him power on earth and gave him means to (have) everything (he needs).
18:85

فَاَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا

So he followed a course,
18:86

حَتّٰۤی اِذَا بَلَغَ مَغْرِبَ الشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَغْرُبُ فِیْ عَیْنٍ حَمِئَةٍ وَّوَجَدَ عِنْدَهَا قَوْمًا ؕ۬ قُلْنَا یٰذَا الْقَرْنَیْنِ اِمَّاۤ اَنْ تُعَذِّبَ وَاِمَّاۤ اَنْ تَتَّخِذَ فِیْهِمْ حُسْنًا

until when he reached the point of sunset, he found it setting into a miry spring, and found a people near it. We said, “O Dhul-Qarnain, either punish them or adopt good behavior with them.”
18:87

قَالَ اَمَّا مَنْ ظَلَمَ فَسَوْفَ نُعَذِّبُهٗ ثُمَّ یُرَدُّ اِلٰی رَبِّهٖ فَیُعَذِّبُهٗ عَذَابًا نُّكْرًا

He said, “As for him who does wrong, we shall punish him, then he will be sent back to his Lord, and He will punish him with a severe punishment.
18:88

وَاَمَّا مَنْ اٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلَهٗ جَزَآءَ لْحُسْنٰی ۚ وَسَنَقُوْلُ لَهٗ مِنْ اَمْرِنَا یُسْرًا

As for the one who believes and acts righteously, he will have the best (life) as reward, and we shall speak to him politely in our directions.”
18:89

ثُمَّ اَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا

Thereafter, he followed a course,
18:90

حَتّٰۤی اِذَا بَلَغَ مَطْلِعَ الشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَطْلُعُ عَلٰی قَوْمٍ لَّمْ نَجْعَلْ لَّهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهَا سِتْرًا

until when he reached the point of sunrise, he found it rising over a people for whom We did not make any shelter against it.
18:91

كَذٰلِكَ ؕ وَقَدْ اَحَطْنَا بِمَا لَدَیْهِ خُبْرًا

Thus it was, and Our knowledge fully comprehends whatever (wealth and equipment) he had with him.
18:92

ثُمَّ اَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا

Thereafter he followed a course
18:93

حَتّٰۤی اِذَا بَلَغَ بَیْنَ السَّدَّیْنِ وَجَدَ مِنْ دُوْنِهِمَا قَوْمًا ۙ لَّا یَكَادُوْنَ یَفْقَهُوْنَ قَوْلًا

until when he reached between the two mountains, he found by them a people who were almost unable to understand anything said.
18:94

قَالُوْا یٰذَا الْقَرْنَیْنِ اِنَّ یَاْجُوْجَ وَمَاْجُوْجَ مُفْسِدُوْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِ فَهَلْ نَجْعَلُ لَكَ خَرْجًا عَلٰۤی اَنْ تَجْعَلَ بَیْنَنَا وَبَیْنَهُمْ سَدًّا

They said, “O Dhul-Qarnain, the (tribes of) Ya’jūj and Ma’jūj (Gog and Magog) are mischief-makers on the earth. So, should we assign a tax for you on condition that you make a barrier between us and them?”
18:95

قَالَ مَا مَكَّنِّیْ فِیْهِ رَبِّیْ خَیْرٌ فَاَعِیْنُوْنِیْ بِقُوَّةٍ اَجْعَلْ بَیْنَكُمْ وَبَیْنَهُمْ رَدْمًا

He said, “What my Lord has (already) given in my control is better enough (for me than the tax you are offering to me), so help me (only) with some (man) power, and I shall make a rampart between you and them.
18:96

اٰتُوْنِیْ زُبَرَ الْحَدِیْدِ ؕ حَتّٰۤی اِذَا سَاوٰی بَیْنَ الصَّدَفَیْنِ قَالَ انْفُخُوْا ؕ حَتّٰۤی اِذَا جَعَلَهٗ نَارًا ۙ قَالَ اٰتُوْنِیْۤ اُفْرِغْ عَلَیْهِ قِطْرًا

Bring me big pieces of iron.” (They proceeded accordingly) until when he leveled up (the gap) between the two cliffs, he said, “Blow.” (They complied) until when he made it (like) fire, he said, “Bring me molten copper, and I will pour it upon this.”
18:97

فَمَا اسْطَاعُوْۤا اَنْ یَّظْهَرُوْهُ وَمَا اسْتَطَاعُوْا لَهٗ نَقْبًا

So they (Ya’jūj and Ma’jūj) were not able to climb it, nor were they able to make a hole in it.
18:98

قَالَ هٰذَا رَحْمَةٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّیْ ۚ فَاِذَا جَآءَ وَعْدُ رَبِّیْ جَعَلَهٗ دَكَّآءَ ۚ وَكَانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّیْ حَقًّا

He said, “This is a mercy from my Lord. Then, when the promise of my Lord will come, He will make it leveled to the ground. The promise of my Lord is true.”
18:99

وَتَرَكْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ یَوْمَىِٕذٍ یَّمُوْجُ فِیْ بَعْضٍ وَّنُفِخَ فِی الصُّوْرِ فَجَمَعْنٰهُمْ جَمْعًا

And on that day, (i.e. the Doomsday) We will leave them (all the people including Ya’jūj and Ma’jūj) surging over one another. And the Horn shall be blown, then We shall gather them together.
18:100

وَّعَرَضْنَا جَهَنَّمَ یَوْمَىِٕذٍ لِّلْكٰفِرِیْنَ عَرْضَا

And on that day We will bring Jahannam fully exposed before the infidels
18:101

لَّذِیْنَ كَانَتْ اَعْیُنُهُمْ فِیْ غِطَآءٍ عَنْ ذِكْرِیْ وَكَانُوْا لَا یَسْتَطِیْعُوْنَ سَمْعًا

whose eyes were under a cover against My reminders, and they were not able to listen.
18:102

اَفَحَسِبَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اَنْ یَّتَّخِذُوْا عِبَادِیْ مِنْ دُوْنِیْۤ اَوْلِیَآءَ ؕ اِنَّاۤ اَعْتَدْنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ نُزُلًا

Do, then, the disbelievers deem (it fit) that they take My servants as patrons beside Me? Surely, We have prepared Jahannam as entertainment for the disbelievers.
18:103

قُلْ هَلْ نُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِالْاَخْسَرِیْنَ اَعْمَالًا

Say, “Shall We tell you about the greatest losers in respect of (their) deeds?
18:104

اَلَّذِیْنَ ضَلَّ سَعْیُهُمْ فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا وَهُمْ یَحْسَبُوْنَ اَنَّهُمْ یُحْسِنُوْنَ صُنْعًا

Those are the ones whose effort in the worldly life has gone in vain, while they think they are doing well.
18:105

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰیٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَلِقَآىِٕهٖ فَحَبِطَتْ اَعْمَالُهُمْ فَلَا نُقِیْمُ لَهُمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ وَزْنًا

Those are the ones who rejected the signs of their Lord and (the concept of) meeting with Him, so their deeds have gone to waste, and We shall assign to them no weight at all.
18:106

ذٰلِكَ جَزَآؤُهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ بِمَا كَفَرُوْا وَاتَّخَذُوْۤا اٰیٰتِیْ وَرُسُلِیْ هُزُوًا

That is their punishment, the Jahannam , for they disbelieved and made My signs and My messengers a mockery.
18:107

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ جَنّٰتُ الْفِرْدَوْسِ نُزُلًا

Surely those who believed and did righteous deeds, theirs are the Gardens of Firdaus as entertainment
18:108

خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا لَا یَبْغُوْنَ عَنْهَا حِوَلًا

where they will live forever, and will not wish to move from there.”
18:109

قُلْ لَّوْ كَانَ الْبَحْرُ مِدَادًا لِّكَلِمٰتِ رَبِّیْ لَنَفِدَ الْبَحْرُ قَبْلَ اَنْ تَنْفَدَ كَلِمٰتُ رَبِّیْ وَلَوْ جِئْنَا بِمِثْلِهٖ مَدَدًا

Say, “If the ocean were to be ink for (writing) the Words of my Lord, the ocean would have been consumed before the Words of my Lord are exhausted, even though we were to bring another (ocean) like it in addition.”
18:110

قُلْ اِنَّمَاۤ اَنَا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ یُوْحٰۤی اِلَیَّ اَنَّمَاۤ اِلٰهُكُمْ اِلٰهٌ وَّاحِدٌ ۚ فَمَنْ كَانَ یَرْجُوْا لِقَآءَ رَبِّهٖ فَلْیَعْمَلْ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَّلَا یُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهٖۤ اَحَدًا

Say, “Surely, I am but a human being like you; it is revealed to me that your God is the One God. So the one who hopes to meet his Lord must do righteous deed and must not associate anyone in the worship of his Lord.”

19. Maryam

19:1

كٓهٰیٰعٓصٓ

Kāf, Hā Yā, ‘Ain, Sād
19:2

ذِكْرُ رَحْمَتِ رَبِّكَ عَبْدَهٗ زَكَرِیَّا

This is a narration of your Lord’s mercy to His servant Zakariyyā,
19:3

اِذْ نَادٰی رَبَّهٗ نِدَآءً خَفِیًّا

When he called his Lord in a low voice.
19:4

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّیْ وَهَنَ الْعَظْمُ مِنِّیْ وَاشْتَعَلَ الرَّاْسُ شَیْبًا وَّلَمْ اَكُنْ بِدُعَآىِٕكَ رَبِّ شَقِیًّا

He said, “My Lord, I am in a state that bones in my body have turned feeble, and the head has flared up grey with old age, and I never remained, My Lord, unanswered in my prayer to You.
19:5

وَاِنِّیْ خِفْتُ الْمَوَالِیَ مِنْ وَّرَآءِیْ وَكَانَتِ امْرَاَتِیْ عَاقِرًا فَهَبْ لِیْ مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ وَلِیًّا

I fear (my) kinsmen after me, and my wife is barren, so bless me with an heir, from Your own side,
19:6

یَّرِثُنِیْ وَیَرِثُ مِنْ اٰلِ یَعْقُوْبَ ۖۗ وَاجْعَلْهُ رَبِّ رَضِیًّا

who inherits me and inherits the house of Ya‘qūb. And make him, My Lord, a favourite one.”
19:7

یٰزَكَرِیَّاۤ اِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلٰمِ سْمُهٗ یَحْیٰی ۙ لَمْ نَجْعَلْ لَّهٗ مِنْ قَبْلُ سَمِیًّا

(Allah said) “O Zakariyyā, We give you the good news of a boy whose name is YaHyā. We did not create any one before him of the same name.”
19:8

قَالَ رَبِّ اَنّٰی یَكُوْنُ لِیْ غُلٰمٌ وَّكَانَتِ امْرَاَتِیْ عَاقِرًا وَّقَدْ بَلَغْتُ مِنَ الْكِبَرِ عِتِیًّا

He Said, “My Lord, how shall there be a boy for me while my wife is barren, and I have reached the extreme of old age?”
19:9

قَالَ كَذٰلِكَ ۚ قَالَ رَبُّكَ هُوَ عَلَیَّ هَیِّنٌ وَّقَدْ خَلَقْتُكَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلَمْ تَكُ شَیْـًٔا

He said, “So it is; your Lord said ‘it is easy for Me, and I did create you before, when you were nothing.’”
19:10

قَالَ رَبِّ اجْعَلْ لِّیْۤ اٰیَةً ؕ قَالَ اٰیَتُكَ اَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ النَّاسَ ثَلٰثَ لَیَالٍ سَوِیًّا

He said, “My Lord, make for me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you will not (be able to) speak to the people for three (consecutive) nights, even though you will be sound in health.”
19:11

فَخَرَجَ عَلٰی قَوْمِهٖ مِنَ الْمِحْرَابِ فَاَوْحٰۤی اِلَیْهِمْ اَنْ سَبِّحُوْا بُكْرَةً وَّعَشِیًّا

Then he came out to his people from the place of prayer, and directed them by gestures to proclaim the purity of Allah at morning and evening.
19:12

یٰیَحْیٰی خُذِ الْكِتٰبَ بِقُوَّةٍ ؕ وَاٰتَیْنٰهُ الْحُكْمَ صَبِیًّا

(When the child was born, Allah said to him,) “O YaHyā, hold on to the Book firmly.” And We gave him wisdom, while he was still a child,
19:13

وَّحَنَانًا مِّنْ لَّدُنَّا وَزَكٰوةً ؕ وَكَانَ تَقِیًّا

and (blessed him with) love from our own, and purity; and he was God-fearing,
19:14

وَّبَرًّا بِوَالِدَیْهِ وَلَمْ یَكُنْ جَبَّارًا عَصِیًّا

and he was good to his parents; and he was not oppressive (or) disobedient.
19:15

وَسَلٰمٌ عَلَیْهِ یَوْمَ وُلِدَ وَیَوْمَ یَمُوْتُ وَیَوْمَ یُبْعَثُ حَیًّا

Peace on him the day he was born, the day he dies and the day he will be raised alive.
19:16

وَاذْكُرْ فِی الْكِتٰبِ مَرْیَمَ ۘ اِذِ انْتَبَذَتْ مِنْ اَهْلِهَا مَكَانًا شَرْقِیًّا

And mention in the Book (the story of) Maryam, when she secluded herself from her people to a place towards East,
19:17

فَاتَّخَذَتْ مِنْ دُوْنِهِمْ حِجَابًا ۪۫ فَاَرْسَلْنَاۤ اِلَیْهَا رُوْحَنَا فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهَا بَشَرًا سَوِیًّا

then she used a barrier to hide herself from them. Then, We sent to her Our Spirit, (Jibra’īl) and he took before her the form of a perfect human being.
19:18

قَالَتْ اِنِّیْۤ اَعُوْذُ بِالرَّحْمٰنِ مِنْكَ اِنْ كُنْتَ تَقِیًّا

She said, “I seek refuge with the All-Merciful (Allah) against you, if you are God-fearing.”
19:19

قَالَ اِنَّمَاۤ اَنَا رَسُوْلُ رَبِّكِ ۖۗ لِاَهَبَ لَكِ غُلٰمًا زَكِیًّا

He said, “I am but a message-bearer of your Lord (sent) to give you a boy, purified.”
19:20

قَالَتْ اَنّٰی یَكُوْنُ لِیْ غُلٰمٌ وَّلَمْ یَمْسَسْنِیْ بَشَرٌ وَّلَمْ اَكُ بَغِیًّا

She said, “How shall I have a boy while no human has ever touched me, nor have I ever been unchaste?”
19:21

قَالَ كَذٰلِكِ ۚ قَالَ رَبُّكِ هُوَ عَلَیَّ هَیِّنٌ ۚ وَلِنَجْعَلَهٗۤ اٰیَةً لِّلنَّاسِ وَرَحْمَةً مِّنَّا ۚ وَكَانَ اَمْرًا مَّقْضِیًّا

He said, “So it is; your Lord said, ‘It is easy for Me, and (We will do this) so that We make it a sign for people and a mercy from Us, and this is a matter already destined.’”
19:22

فَحَمَلَتْهُ فَانْتَبَذَتْ بِهٖ مَكَانًا قَصِیًّا

So she conceived him, and went in seclusion with him to a remote place.
19:23

فَاَجَآءَهَا الْمَخَاضُ اِلٰی جِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ ۚ قَالَتْ یٰلَیْتَنِیْ مِتُّ قَبْلَ هٰذَا وَكُنْتُ نَسْیًا مَّنْسِیًّا

Then the labour pains brought her to the trunk of a palm-tree. She said “O that I would have died before this, and would have been something gone, forgotten.”
19:24

فَنَادٰىهَا مِنْ تَحْتِهَاۤ اَلَّا تَحْزَنِیْ قَدْ جَعَلَ رَبُّكِ تَحْتَكِ سَرِیًّا

Then he called her from beneath her: “Do not grieve; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you.
19:25

وَهُزِّیْۤ اِلَیْكِ بِجِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ تُسٰقِطْ عَلَیْكِ رُطَبًا جَنِیًّا

Shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards yourself and, it will drop upon you ripe fresh dates.
19:26

فَكُلِیْ وَاشْرَبِیْ وَقَرِّیْ عَیْنًا ۚ فَاِمَّا تَرَیِنَّ مِنَ الْبَشَرِ اَحَدًا ۙ فَقُوْلِیْۤ اِنِّیْ نَذَرْتُ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ صَوْمًا فَلَنْ اُكَلِّمَ الْیَوْمَ اِنْسِیًّا

So eat, drink and cool your eyes. Then if you see any human being, say (to him), “I have vowed a fast (of silence) for the All-Merciful (Allah,) and therefore, I shall never speak to any human today.”
19:27

فَاَتَتْ بِهٖ قَوْمَهَا تَحْمِلُهٗ ؕ قَالُوْا یٰمَرْیَمُ لَقَدْ جِئْتِ شَیْـًٔا فَرِیًّا

Then she came to her people carrying him (the baby). They said, “O Maryam you have committed something grave indeed.
19:28

یٰۤاُخْتَ هٰرُوْنَ مَا كَانَ اَبُوْكِ امْرَاَ سَوْءٍ وَّمَا كَانَتْ اُمُّكِ بَغِیًّا

O sister of Hārūn, neither your father was a man of evil nor was your mother unchaste.”
19:29

فَاَشَارَتْ اِلَیْهِ ؕ قَالُوْا كَیْفَ نُكَلِّمُ مَنْ كَانَ فِی الْمَهْدِ صَبِیًّا

So, she pointed towards him (the baby). They said, “How shall we speak to someone who is still a child in the cradle?”
19:30

قَالَ اِنِّیْ عَبْدُ اللّٰهِ ؕ۫ اٰتٰىنِیَ الْكِتٰبَ وَجَعَلَنِیْ نَبِیًّا

Spoke he (the baby), “Verily I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Book, and made me a prophet,
19:31

وَّجَعَلَنِیْ مُبٰرَكًا اَیْنَ مَا كُنْتُ ۪ وَاَوْصٰنِیْ بِالصَّلٰوةِ وَالزَّكٰوةِ مَا دُمْتُ حَیًّا

and He has made me a blessed one wherever I be, and has enjoined Salāh and Zakāh upon me as long as I am alive,
19:32

وَّبَرًّا بِوَالِدَتِیْ ؗ وَلَمْ یَجْعَلْنِیْ جَبَّارًا شَقِیًّا

and (He has made me) good to my mother, and he did not make me oppressive (or) ill-fated.
19:33

وَالسَّلٰمُ عَلَیَّ یَوْمَ وُلِدْتُّ وَیَوْمَ اَمُوْتُ وَیَوْمَ اُبْعَثُ حَیًّا

And peace is upon me the day I was born, the day I shall die, and the day I shall be raised alive again.”
19:34

ذٰلِكَ عِیْسَی ابْنُ مَرْیَمَ ۚ قَوْلَ الْحَقِّ الَّذِیْ فِیْهِ یَمْتَرُوْنَ

That is ‘Īsā, the son of Maryam, to say the truth in which they (Christians) are disputing.
19:35

مَا كَانَ لِلّٰهِ اَنْ یَّتَّخِذَ مِنْ وَّلَدٍ ۙ سُبْحٰنَهٗ ؕ اِذَا قَضٰۤی اَمْرًا فَاِنَّمَا یَقُوْلُ لَهٗ كُنْ فَیَكُوْنُ

It is not for Allah to have a son. Pure is He. When He decides a thing, He simply says to it, “Be” and it comes to be.
19:36

وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ رَبِّیْ وَرَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوْهُ ؕ هٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِیْمٌ

And (O Prophet, say to the people,) “Allah is surely my Lord and your Lord. So, worship Him. This is the straight path.”
19:37

فَاخْتَلَفَ الْاَحْزَابُ مِنْ بَیْنِهِمْ ۚ فَوَیْلٌ لِّلَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ مَّشْهَدِ یَوْمٍ عَظِیْمٍ

Then the groups among them fell in dispute. So, how evil is the fate of the disbelievers when they have to face the Great Day.
19:38

اَسْمِعْ بِهِمْ وَاَبْصِرْ ۙ یَوْمَ یَاْتُوْنَنَا لٰكِنِ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ الْیَوْمَ فِیْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِیْنٍ

How strong will their hearing be, and how strong their vision, the day they will come to Us! But today the transgressors are straying in clear error.
19:39

وَاَنْذِرْهُمْ یَوْمَ الْحَسْرَةِ اِذْ قُضِیَ الْاَمْرُ ۘ وَهُمْ فِیْ غَفْلَةٍ وَّهُمْ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ

Warn them of The Day of Remorse when the whole thing will be settled, while they are heedless and do not believe.
19:40

اِنَّا نَحْنُ نَرِثُ الْاَرْضَ وَمَنْ عَلَیْهَا وَاِلَیْنَا یُرْجَعُوْنَ

Surely We, only We, shall be the ultimate owner of the earth and all those on it, and to Us they will be returned.
19:41

وَاذْكُرْ فِی الْكِتٰبِ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ ؕ۬ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ صِدِّیْقًا نَّبِیًّا

And mention in the Book (the story of) Ibrāhīm. Indeed, he was Siddīq (a man of truth), a prophet,
19:42

اِذْ قَالَ لِاَبِیْهِ یٰۤاَبَتِ لِمَ تَعْبُدُ مَا لَا یَسْمَعُ وَلَا یُبْصِرُ وَلَا یُغْنِیْ عَنْكَ شَیْـًٔا

when he said to his father, “My dear father, why do you worship something that does neither hear nor see, nor help you in any way?
19:43

یٰۤاَبَتِ اِنِّیْ قَدْ جَآءَنِیْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ مَا لَمْ یَاْتِكَ فَاتَّبِعْنِیْۤ اَهْدِكَ صِرَاطًا سَوِیًّا

My dear father, indeed there has come to me a knowledge that has not come to you; so, follow me, and I shall lead you to a straight path.
19:44

یٰۤاَبَتِ لَا تَعْبُدِ الشَّیْطٰنَ ؕ اِنَّ الشَّیْطٰنَ كَانَ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ عَصِیًّا

My dear father, do not worship the Satan. The Satan is surely rebellious to the All-Merciful, (Allah).
19:45

یٰۤاَبَتِ اِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ اَنْ یَّمَسَّكَ عَذَابٌ مِّنَ الرَّحْمٰنِ فَتَكُوْنَ لِلشَّیْطٰنِ وَلِیًّا

My dear father, I fear lest a punishment from the All- Merciful (Allah) should afflict you, and you become a companion of Satan.”
19:46

قَالَ اَرَاغِبٌ اَنْتَ عَنْ اٰلِهَتِیْ یٰۤاِبْرٰهِیْمُ ۚ لَىِٕنْ لَّمْ تَنْتَهِ لَاَرْجُمَنَّكَ وَاهْجُرْنِیْ مَلِیًّا

He said, “Are you averse to my gods O Ibrāhīm? Should you not stop, I will definitely stone you. And leave me for good.”
19:47

قَالَ سَلٰمٌ عَلَیْكَ ۚ سَاَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكَ رَبِّیْ ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ بِیْ حَفِیًّا

He said, “Peace on you. I shall seek forgiveness for you from my Lord. He has always been gracious to me.
19:48

وَاَعْتَزِلُكُمْ وَمَا تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَاَدْعُوْا رَبِّیْ ۖؗ عَسٰۤی اَلَّاۤ اَكُوْنَ بِدُعَآءِ رَبِّیْ شَقِیًّا

And I go away from you and what you invoke besides Allah. And I shall invoke my Lord. Hopefully I shall not be a loser by invoking my Lord.”
19:49

فَلَمَّا اعْتَزَلَهُمْ وَمَا یَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ ۙ وَهَبْنَا لَهٗۤ اِسْحٰقَ وَیَعْقُوْبَ ؕ وَكُلًّا جَعَلْنَا نَبِیًّا

So, when he went away from them and what they worshipped besides Allah, We blessed him with IsHāq (Isaac) and Ya‘qūb (Jacob) and We made each one of them a prophet,
19:50

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ رَّحْمَتِنَا وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ عَلِیًّا

and We bestowed on them (a great deal) of our mercy, and caused them to have a good name at a high level.
19:51

وَاذْكُرْ فِی الْكِتٰبِ مُوْسٰۤی ؗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ مُخْلَصًا وَّكَانَ رَسُوْلًا نَّبِیًّا

And mention in the Book (the story of) Mūsā. Indeed he was a chosen one and was a messenger, a prophet.
19:52

وَنَادَیْنٰهُ مِنْ جَانِبِ الطُّوْرِ الْاَیْمَنِ وَقَرَّبْنٰهُ نَجِیًّا

And We called him from the right side of the mount Tūr (Sinai), and We brought him close to communicate in secret.
19:53

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهٗ مِنْ رَّحْمَتِنَاۤ اَخَاهُ هٰرُوْنَ نَبِیًّا

And, out of Our mercy, We granted him his brother Hārūn as a prophet.
19:54

وَاذْكُرْ فِی الْكِتٰبِ اِسْمٰعِیْلَ ؗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ صَادِقَ الْوَعْدِ وَكَانَ رَسُوْلًا نَّبِیًّا

And mention in the Book (the story of) Ismā‘īl. He was indeed true to his promise, and was a messenger, a prophet.
19:55

وَكَانَ یَاْمُرُ اَهْلَهٗ بِالصَّلٰوةِ وَالزَّكٰوةِ ۪ وَكَانَ عِنْدَ رَبِّهٖ مَرْضِیًّا

He used to enjoin Salāh and Zakāh upon his family, and was favourite to his Lord.
19:56

وَاذْكُرْ فِی الْكِتٰبِ اِدْرِیْسَ ؗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ صِدِّیْقًا نَّبِیًّا

And mention in the Book (the story of) Idrīs. He was indeed a Siddīq (man of truth), a prophet.
19:57

وَّرَفَعْنٰهُ مَكَانًا عَلِیًّا

We raised him to a high place.
19:58

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ اَنْعَمَ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِمْ مِّنَ النَّبِیّٖنَ مِنْ ذُرِّیَّةِ اٰدَمَ ۗ وَمِمَّنْ حَمَلْنَا مَعَ نُوْحٍ ؗ وَّمِنْ ذُرِّیَّةِ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ وَاِسْرَآءِیْلَ ؗ وَمِمَّنْ هَدَیْنَا وَاجْتَبَیْنَا ؕ اِذَا تُتْلٰی عَلَیْهِمْ اٰیٰتُ الرَّحْمٰنِ خَرُّوْا سُجَّدًا وَّبُكِیًّا

Those are the people whom Allah has blessed with bounties, the prophets from the progeny of ’Ādam, and of those whom We caused to board (the Ark) along with NūH, and from the progeny of Ibrāhīm and Isrā’īl (Jacob), and from those whom We guided and selected. When the verses of The RaHmān (The All-Merciful) were recited before them, they used to fall down in Sajdah (prostration), while they were weeping.
19:59

فَخَلَفَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ اَضَاعُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاتَّبَعُوا الشَّهَوٰتِ فَسَوْفَ یَلْقَوْنَ غَیًّا

Then came after them the successors who neglected Salāh and followed (their selfish) desires. So they will soon face (the outcome of their) deviation,
19:60

اِلَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَاٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ یَدْخُلُوْنَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَا یُظْلَمُوْنَ شَیْـًٔا

except those who repent and believe and do good deeds, and therefore they will enter the Paradise and will not be wronged at all.
19:61

جَنّٰتِ عَدْنِ لَّتِیْ وَعَدَ الرَّحْمٰنُ عِبَادَهٗ بِالْغَیْبِ ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ وَعْدُهٗ مَاْتِیًّا

(They will enter) the Gardens of eternity, promised by the All-Merciful (Allah) to His servants, in the unseen world. They will surely reach (the places of) His promise.
19:62

لَا یَسْمَعُوْنَ فِیْهَا لَغْوًا اِلَّا سَلٰمًا ؕ وَلَهُمْ رِزْقُهُمْ فِیْهَا بُكْرَةً وَّعَشِیًّا

They will not hear anything absurd therein, but a word of peace, and there they will have their provision at morn and eve.
19:63

تِلْكَ الْجَنَّةُ الَّتِیْ نُوْرِثُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا مَنْ كَانَ تَقِیًّا

That is the Paradise We will give as inheritance to those of Our servants who have been God-fearing.
19:64

وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ اِلَّا بِاَمْرِ رَبِّكَ ۚ لَهٗ مَا بَیْنَ اَیْدِیْنَا وَمَا خَلْفَنَا وَمَا بَیْنَ ذٰلِكَ ۚ وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ نَسِیًّا

(Jibra’īl X said to the Holy Prophet) “We do not descend but with the command of your Lord. To Him belongs what is in front of us and what is behind us and what is in between; and your Lord is not the One who forgets.
19:65

رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَیْنَهُمَا فَاعْبُدْهُ وَاصْطَبِرْ لِعِبَادَتِهٖ ؕ هَلْ تَعْلَمُ لَهٗ سَمِیًّا

(He is) the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever lies between them. So, worship Him and persevere in His worship. Do you know any one worthy of His name?”
19:66

وَیَقُوْلُ الْاِنْسَانُ ءَاِذَا مَا مِتُّ لَسَوْفَ اُخْرَجُ حَیًّا

Man says, “Is it that, once I die, I shall be brought forth alive?”
19:67

اَوَلَا یَذْكُرُ الْاِنْسَانُ اَنَّا خَلَقْنٰهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلَمْ یَكُ شَیْـًٔا

Does not the man remember that We created him before, when he was nothing?
19:68

فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَحْشُرَنَّهُمْ وَالشَّیٰطِیْنَ ثُمَّ لَنُحْضِرَنَّهُمْ حَوْلَ جَهَنَّمَ جِثِیًّا

So, by your Lord, We will definitely gather them together, and the devils as well; then We will definitely make them present around the Jahannam , fallen on their knees.
19:69

ثُمَّ لَنَنْزِعَنَّ مِنْ كُلِّ شِیْعَةٍ اَیُّهُمْ اَشَدُّ عَلَی الرَّحْمٰنِ عِتِیًّا

Then, out of every group, We will certainly draw out those who were more rebellious against the All-Merciful (Allah).
19:70

ثُمَّ لَنَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِالَّذِیْنَ هُمْ اَوْلٰی بِهَا صِلِیًّا

Then of course, We are most aware of those who are more deserving to enter it (the Jahannam ).
19:71

وَاِنْ مِّنْكُمْ اِلَّا وَارِدُهَا ۚ كَانَ عَلٰی رَبِّكَ حَتْمًا مَّقْضِیًّا

There is none among you who does not have to arrive at it. This is undertaken by your Lord as an absolute decree, bound to be enforced.
19:72

ثُمَّ نُنَجِّی الَّذِیْنَ اتَّقَوْا وَّنَذَرُ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ فِیْهَا جِثِیًّا

Then We will save those who feared Allah, and will leave the wrongdoers in it, fallen on their knees.
19:73

وَاِذَا تُتْلٰی عَلَیْهِمْ اٰیٰتُنَا بَیِّنٰتٍ قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لِلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا ۙ اَیُّ الْفَرِیْقَیْنِ خَیْرٌ مَّقَامًا وَّاَحْسَنُ نَدِیًّا

When Our verses are recited to them in all their clarity, the disbelievers say to the believers, “Which of the two groups is superior in its place and better in its assembly?”
19:74

وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنْ قَرْنٍ هُمْ اَحْسَنُ اَثَاثًا وَّرِءْیًا

How many a generation We have destroyed before them who were better in assets and outlook!
19:75

قُلْ مَنْ كَانَ فِی الضَّلٰلَةِ فَلْیَمْدُدْ لَهُ الرَّحْمٰنُ مَدًّا ۚ۬ حَتّٰۤی اِذَا رَاَوْا مَا یُوْعَدُوْنَ اِمَّا الْعَذَابَ وَاِمَّا السَّاعَةَ ؕ فَسَیَعْلَمُوْنَ مَنْ هُوَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَّاَضْعَفُ جُنْدًا

Say, “Whoever stays straying, let his term be extended by the All-Merciful (Allah) still longer, until when they will see what they are being warned of: either the punishment or the Hour (of Doom), then they will know who was worse in his place and weaker in his forces.
19:76

وَیَزِیْدُ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ اهْتَدَوْا هُدًی ؕ وَالْبٰقِیٰتُ الصّٰلِحٰتُ خَیْرٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَّخَیْرٌ مَّرَدًّا

Allah makes those on the right path excel in guidance. And the everlasting virtues are better with your Lord in respect of reward and better in their return.
19:77

اَفَرَءَیْتَ الَّذِیْ كَفَرَ بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَقَالَ لَاُوْتَیَنَّ مَالًا وَّوَلَدًا

Have you, then, seen him who rejected Our verses and said, “I shall certainly be given wealth and children”?
19:78

اَطَّلَعَ الْغَیْبَ اَمِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمٰنِ عَهْدًا

Has he peeped into the Unseen or taken a covenant with the All-Merciful (Allah)?
19:79

كَلَّا ؕ سَنَكْتُبُ مَا یَقُوْلُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهٗ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ مَدًّا

Never! We will write what he says and extend for him the punishment extensively.
19:80

وَّنَرِثُهٗ مَا یَقُوْلُ وَیَاْتِیْنَا فَرْدًا

And We will inherit from him what he is talking about, and he will come to Us all alone.
19:81

وَاتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اٰلِهَةً لِّیَكُوْنُوْا لَهُمْ عِزًّا

They have taken gods other than Allah, so that they may be a source of might for them.
19:82

كَلَّا ؕ سَیَكْفُرُوْنَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ وَیَكُوْنُوْنَ عَلَیْهِمْ ضِدًّا

Never! They (their fabricated deities) will soon reject their having worshipped them, and they will be just the opposite for them.
19:83

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّاۤ اَرْسَلْنَا الشَّیٰطِیْنَ عَلَی الْكٰفِرِیْنَ تَؤُزُّهُمْ اَزًّا

Have you not seen that We have sent the devils onto the disbelievers inciting them with all their incitements.
19:84

فَلَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَیْهِمْ ؕ اِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمْ عَدًّا

So make no hurry about them; We are but counting for them a count down.
19:85

یَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ الْمُتَّقِیْنَ اِلَی الرَّحْمٰنِ وَفْدًا

The day We will assemble the God-fearing before the All-Merciful (Allah) as guests,
19:86

وَّنَسُوْقُ الْمُجْرِمِیْنَ اِلٰی جَهَنَّمَ وِرْدًا

and will drive the sinners towards the Jahannam as herds of cattle (are driven) towards water,
19:87

لَا یَمْلِكُوْنَ الشَّفَاعَةَ اِلَّا مَنِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمٰنِ عَهْدًا

none will have power to intercede, except the one who has entered into a covenant with the All-Merciful (Allah).
19:88

وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمٰنُ وَلَدًا

They say, “The All-Merciful (Allah) has got a son.”
19:89

لَقَدْ جِئْتُمْ شَیْـًٔا اِدًّا

Indeed you have come up with such an abominable statement
19:90

تَكَادُ السَّمٰوٰتُ یَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنْشَقُّ الْاَرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ الْجِبَالُ هَدًّا

that the heavens are well-nigh to explode at it, and the earth to burst apart, and the mountains to fall down crumbling,
19:91

اَنْ دَعَوْا لِلرَّحْمٰنِ وَلَدًا

for they have ascribed a son to the All-Merciful (Allah),
19:92

وَمَا یَنْۢبَغِیْ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ اَنْ یَّتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا

while it does not behove the All-Merciful to have a son.
19:93

اِنْ كُلُّ مَنْ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ اِلَّاۤ اٰتِی الرَّحْمٰنِ عَبْدًا

There is none in the heavens and the earth, but bound to come to the All-Merciful as a slave.
19:94

لَقَدْ اَحْصٰىهُمْ وَعَدَّهُمْ عَدًّا

He has fully encompassed them and precisely calculated their numbers,
19:95

وَكُلُّهُمْ اٰتِیْهِ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ فَرْدًا

and each one of them is bound to come to Him on the Day of Judgment, all alone.
19:96

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ سَیَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ الرَّحْمٰنُ وُدًّا

Surely, those who believe and do righteous deeds, for them the All-Merciful (Allah) will create love.
19:97

فَاِنَّمَا یَسَّرْنٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ الْمُتَّقِیْنَ وَتُنْذِرَ بِهٖ قَوْمًا لُّدًّا

So We have made it (the Qur’ān) easy through your tongue, so that you give with it the good news to the God-fearing, and warn with it an obstinate people.
19:98

وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنْ قَرْنٍ ؕ هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُمْ مِّنْ اَحَدٍ اَوْ تَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ رِكْزًا

And how many a generation We have destroyed before them! Do you sense (the presence of) any one of them, or hear from them even a whisper?

20. Taha

20:1

طٰهٰ

Tā-Hā
20:2

مَاۤ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَیْكَ الْقُرْاٰنَ لِتَشْقٰۤی

We did not reveal the Qur’ān to you to (make you) face hardship
20:3

اِلَّا تَذْكِرَةً لِّمَنْ یَّخْشٰی

rather to remind him who has the fear (of Allah),
20:4

تَنْزِیْلًا مِّمَّنْ خَلَقَ الْاَرْضَ وَالسَّمٰوٰتِ الْعُلٰی

it being a revelation from the One Who created the earth, and high heavens.
20:5

اَلرَّحْمٰنُ عَلَی الْعَرْشِ اسْتَوٰی

The RaHmān (Allah, the All-Merciful) has positioned Himself on the Throne.
20:6

لَهٗ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِی الْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَیْنَهُمَا وَمَا تَحْتَ الثَّرٰی

To Him belongs all that is in the heavens, all that is in the earth and whatever lies between them and whatever lies beneath the soil.
20:7

وَاِنْ تَجْهَرْ بِالْقَوْلِ فَاِنَّهٗ یَعْلَمُ السِّرَّ وَاَخْفٰی

If you pronounce the word aloud, then (it makes no difference, for) He certainly knows the secret and what is even more hidden.
20:8

اَللّٰهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ ؕ لَهُ الْاَسْمَآءُ الْحُسْنٰی

(Such is) Allah. There is no god but He. For Him are the Beautiful Names.
20:9

وَهَلْ اَتٰىكَ حَدِیْثُ مُوْسٰی

Has there come to you the story of Mūsā?
20:10

اِذْ رَاٰ نَارًا فَقَالَ لِاَهْلِهِ امْكُثُوْۤا اِنِّیْۤ اٰنَسْتُ نَارًا لَّعَلِّیْۤ اٰتِیْكُمْ مِّنْهَا بِقَبَسٍ اَوْ اَجِدُ عَلَی النَّارِ هُدًی

When he saw a fire and said to his family, “Stay here. I have noticed a fire. Perhaps I can bring you an ember from it, or find some guidance by the fire.”
20:11

فَلَمَّاۤ اَتٰىهَا نُوْدِیَ یٰمُوْسٰی

So when he came to it, he was called, “O Mūsā,
20:12

اِنِّیْۤ اَنَا رَبُّكَ فَاخْلَعْ نَعْلَیْكَ ۚ اِنَّكَ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًی

it is Me, your Lord, so remove your shoes; you are in the sacred valley of Tuwā.
20:13

وَاَنَا اخْتَرْتُكَ فَاسْتَمِعْ لِمَا یُوْحٰی

I have chosen you (for prophet-hood), so listen to what is revealed:
20:14

اِنَّنِیْۤ اَنَا اللّٰهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّاۤ اَنَا فَاعْبُدْنِیْ ۙ وَاَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَ لِذِكْرِیْ

Surely, I AM ALLAH. There is no god but Myself, so worship Me, and establish Salāh for My remembrance.
20:15

اِنَّ السَّاعَةَ اٰتِیَةٌ اَكَادُ اُخْفِیْهَا لِتُجْزٰی كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا تَسْعٰی

Surely, the Hour (i.e. the Day of Judgment) has to come. I would keep it secret, so that everyone is given a return for the effort one makes.
20:16

فَلَا یَصُدَّنَّكَ عَنْهَا مَنْ لَّا یُؤْمِنُ بِهَا وَاتَّبَعَ هَوٰىهُ فَتَرْدٰی

So the one who does not believe in it and follows his desires must not make you neglectful of it, otherwise you will perish.
20:17

وَمَا تِلْكَ بِیَمِیْنِكَ یٰمُوْسٰی

And what is that in your right hand, O Mūsā?”
20:18

قَالَ هِیَ عَصَایَ ۚ اَتَوَكَّؤُا عَلَیْهَا وَاَهُشُّ بِهَا عَلٰی غَنَمِیْ وَلِیَ فِیْهَا مَاٰرِبُ اُخْرٰی

He said, “It is my staff. I lean on it, and I beat down leaves with it for my sheep, and I have many other uses for it.”
20:19

قَالَ اَلْقِهَا یٰمُوْسٰی

He said, “Throw it down O Mūsā”.
20:20

فَاَلْقٰىهَا فَاِذَا هِیَ حَیَّةٌ تَسْعٰی

So, he threw it down, and suddenly it was a snake, running around.
20:21

قَالَ خُذْهَا وَلَا تَخَفْ ۥ سَنُعِیْدُهَا سِیْرَتَهَا الْاُوْلٰی

He said, “Pick it up, and be not scared. We shall restore it to its former state.
20:22

وَاضْمُمْ یَدَكَ اِلٰی جَنَاحِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَیْضَآءَ مِنْ غَیْرِ سُوْٓءٍ اٰیَةً اُخْرٰی

And press your hand under your arm, and it will come out (brightly) white without any disease, as another sign,
20:23

لِنُرِیَكَ مِنْ اٰیٰتِنَا الْكُبْرٰی

so that We may show you some of Our great signs.
20:24

اِذْهَبْ اِلٰی فِرْعَوْنَ اِنَّهٗ طَغٰی

Go to Pharaoh. He has really exceeded all bounds.”
20:25

قَالَ رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِیْ صَدْرِیْ

He said, “My Lord, put my heart at peace for me,
20:26

وَیَسِّرْ لِیْۤ اَمْرِیْ

and make my task easy for me
20:27

وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِّنْ لِّسَانِیْ

and remove the knot from my tongue,
20:28

یَفْقَهُوْا قَوْلِیْ

so that they may understand my speech.
20:29

وَاجْعَلْ لِّیْ وَزِیْرًا مِّنْ اَهْلِیْ

And make for me an assistant from my own family,
20:30

هٰرُوْنَ اَخِی

that is, Hārūn, my brother.
20:31

اشْدُدْ بِهٖۤ اَزْرِیْ

Enhance with him my strength,
20:32

وَاَشْرِكْهُ فِیْۤ اَمْرِیْ

and make him share my task,
20:33

كَیْ نُسَبِّحَكَ كَثِیْرًا

so that we proclaim Your purity in abundance
20:34

وَّنَذْكُرَكَ كَثِیْرًا

and remember You in abundance.
20:35

اِنَّكَ كُنْتَ بِنَا بَصِیْرًا

You are certainly watchful over us.”
20:36

قَالَ قَدْ اُوْتِیْتَ سُؤْلَكَ یٰمُوْسٰی

He said, “You have been granted your request O Mūsā.
20:37

وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَیْكَ مَرَّةً اُخْرٰۤی

And We had bestowed Our favour on you another time,
20:38

اِذْ اَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلٰۤی اُمِّكَ مَا یُوْحٰۤی

when We revealed to your mother what was to be revealed,
20:39

اَنِ اقْذِفِیْهِ فِی التَّابُوْتِ فَاقْذِفِیْهِ فِی الْیَمِّ فَلْیُلْقِهِ الْیَمُّ بِالسَّاحِلِ یَاْخُذْهُ عَدُوٌّ لِّیْ وَعَدُوٌّ لَّهٗ ؕ وَاَلْقَیْتُ عَلَیْكَ مَحَبَّةً مِّنِّیْ ۚ۬ وَلِتُصْنَعَ عَلٰی عَیْنِیْ

that is, ‘Put him (the baby) in the chest, then cast it into the river, then let the river throw it by the shore, and it will be picked up by one who is enemy to Me and enemy to him.’ And I had cast love on you from Myself (so that you might be favourite of all), and that you might be brought up under My eye.
20:40

اِذْ تَمْشِیْۤ اُخْتُكَ فَتَقُوْلُ هَلْ اَدُلُّكُمْ عَلٰی مَنْ یَّكْفُلُهٗ ؕ فَرَجَعْنٰكَ اِلٰۤی اُمِّكَ كَیْ تَقَرَّ عَیْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَ ؕ۬ وَقَتَلْتَ نَفْسًا فَنَجَّیْنٰكَ مِنَ الْغَمِّ وَفَتَنّٰكَ فُتُوْنًا ۫۬ فَلَبِثْتَ سِنِیْنَ فِیْۤ اَهْلِ مَدْیَنَ ۙ۬ ثُمَّ جِئْتَ عَلٰی قَدَرٍ یّٰمُوْسٰی

(Remember) when your sister was going (to the family of Pharaoh) and was saying, ‘Shall I lead you to one who nurses him?’ Thus We brought you back to your mother, so that her eyes might have comfort and she might not grieve. And you had killed a person, then We brought you out of the trouble; and We tested you with a great ordeal. Then you lived a number of years amidst the people of Madyan. After all this, you came O Mūsā, to a destined point of time.
20:41

وَاصْطَنَعْتُكَ لِنَفْسِیْ

I have fashioned you for Myself.
20:42

اِذْهَبْ اَنْتَ وَاَخُوْكَ بِاٰیٰتِیْ وَلَا تَنِیَا فِیْ ذِكْرِیْ

Go, you and your brother, with My signs, and do not be slack in My remembrance.
20:43

اِذْهَبَاۤ اِلٰی فِرْعَوْنَ اِنَّهٗ طَغٰی

Go, both of you, to Pharaoh; he has indeed transgressed all limits.
20:44

فَقُوْلَا لَهٗ قَوْلًا لَّیِّنًا لَّعَلَّهٗ یَتَذَكَّرُ اَوْ یَخْشٰی

So speak to him in soft words. May be, he accepts the advice or fears (Allah)”.
20:45

قَالَا رَبَّنَاۤ اِنَّنَا نَخَافُ اَنْ یَّفْرُطَ عَلَیْنَاۤ اَوْ اَنْ یَّطْغٰی

They said, “Our Lord, we fear that he will hasten against us, or will become (more) rebellious (against You).”
20:46

قَالَ لَا تَخَافَاۤ اِنَّنِیْ مَعَكُمَاۤ اَسْمَعُ وَاَرٰی

He said, “Do not be afraid. I AM surely with you both. I hear and I see.
20:47

فَاْتِیٰهُ فَقُوْلَاۤ اِنَّا رَسُوْلَا رَبِّكَ فَاَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ ۙ۬ وَلَا تُعَذِّبْهُمْ ؕ قَدْ جِئْنٰكَ بِاٰیَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّكَ ؕ وَالسَّلٰمُ عَلٰی مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الْهُدٰی

So, come to him and say, ‘We are the messengers of your Lord. So, let the children of Isrā’īl go with us, and do not persecute them. We have come to you with a sign from your Lord; and peace be upon the one who follows the guidance.
20:48

اِنَّا قَدْ اُوْحِیَ اِلَیْنَاۤ اَنَّ الْعَذَابَ عَلٰی مَنْ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلّٰی

Verily, it has been revealed to us that the punishment is for the one who denies and turns away.’”
20:49

قَالَ فَمَنْ رَّبُّكُمَا یٰمُوْسٰی

He (Pharaoh) said, “Who then is the Lord of you two, O Mūsā?”
20:50

قَالَ رَبُّنَا الَّذِیْۤ اَعْطٰی كُلَّ شَیْءٍ خَلْقَهٗ ثُمَّ هَدٰی

He (Mūsā) said, “Our Lord is the One who gave everything its due shape, then guided it.”
20:51

قَالَ فَمَا بَالُ الْقُرُوْنِ الْاُوْلٰی

He said, “Then, what is the status of the earlier generations?”
20:52

قَالَ عِلْمُهَا عِنْدَ رَبِّیْ فِیْ كِتٰبٍ ۚ لَا یَضِلُّ رَبِّیْ وَلَا یَنْسَی

He replied, “The knowledge about those is with my Lord in a Book. My Lord does neither err nor forget.”
20:53

الَّذِیْ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْاَرْضَ مَهْدًا وَّسَلَكَ لَكُمْ فِیْهَا سُبُلًا وَّاَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً ؕ فَاَخْرَجْنَا بِهٖۤ اَزْوَاجًا مِّنْ نَّبَاتٍ شَتّٰی

(He is) the One who made the earth a cradle for you, and made in it pathways for you to move, and sent down water from the heavens; and We brought forth with it pairs of different vegetations :
20:54

كُلُوْا وَارْعَوْا اَنْعَامَكُمْ ؕ اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّاُولِی النُّهٰی

Eat, and graze your cattle. Surely, in that there are signs for the people of understanding.
20:55

مِنْهَا خَلَقْنٰكُمْ وَفِیْهَا نُعِیْدُكُمْ وَمِنْهَا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تَارَةً اُخْرٰی

From this (dust) We created you, and in this we shall put you back, and from this We shall raise you up once again.
20:56

وَلَقَدْ اَرَیْنٰهُ اٰیٰتِنَا كُلَّهَا فَكَذَّبَ وَاَبٰی

And We showed him (Pharaoh) all Our signs, yet he rejected and refused.
20:57

قَالَ اَجِئْتَنَا لِتُخْرِجَنَا مِنْ اَرْضِنَا بِسِحْرِكَ یٰمُوْسٰی

Said he, “Have you come to us to drive us out of our land with your sorcery, O Mūsā?
20:58

فَلَنَاْتِیَنَّكَ بِسِحْرٍ مِّثْلِهٖ فَاجْعَلْ بَیْنَنَا وَبَیْنَكَ مَوْعِدًا لَّا نُخْلِفُهٗ نَحْنُ وَلَاۤ اَنْتَ مَكَانًا سُوًی

We will, then, bring to you a similar sorcery. So, make an appointment between you and us for an even place, not to be backed out, neither by us nor by you.”
20:59

قَالَ مَوْعِدُكُمْ یَوْمُ الزِّیْنَةِ وَاَنْ یُّحْشَرَ النَّاسُ ضُحًی

He (Mūsā) said, “Your appointment is the festival day, and the people should be assembled at forenoon.”
20:60

فَتَوَلّٰی فِرْعَوْنُ فَجَمَعَ كَیْدَهٗ ثُمَّ اَتٰی

So, Pharaoh turned back, and put his plot together, then came.
20:61

قَالَ لَهُمْ مُّوْسٰی وَیْلَكُمْ لَا تَفْتَرُوْا عَلَی اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا فَیُسْحِتَكُمْ بِعَذَابٍ ۚ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنِ افْتَرٰی

Mūsā said to them, “Pity on you, do not fabricate a lie against Allah, lest He should destroy you with a punishment. And loser is he who fabricates a lie.”
20:62

فَتَنَازَعُوْۤا اَمْرَهُمْ بَیْنَهُمْ وَاَسَرُّوا النَّجْوٰی

Then, they disputed among themselves in their matter, and kept their talk secret.
20:63

قَالُوْۤا اِنْ هٰذٰىنِ لَسٰحِرٰنِ یُرِیْدٰنِ اَنْ یُّخْرِجٰكُمْ مِّنْ اَرْضِكُمْ بِسِحْرِهِمَا وَیَذْهَبَا بِطَرِیْقَتِكُمُ الْمُثْلٰی

Said they, “Certainly, these two are sorcerers who wish to drive you out from your land, and do away with your excellent way of life.
20:64

فَاَجْمِعُوْا كَیْدَكُمْ ثُمَّ ائْتُوْا صَفًّا ۚ وَقَدْ اَفْلَحَ الْیَوْمَ مَنِ اسْتَعْلٰی

So, make your plot firm and come forth in one row. Successful today is the one who prevails.”
20:65

قَالُوْا یٰمُوْسٰۤی اِمَّاۤ اَنْ تُلْقِیَ وَاِمَّاۤ اَنْ نَّكُوْنَ اَوَّلَ مَنْ اَلْقٰی

They said, “O Mūsā, either you throw (first), or shall we be first to throw?”
20:66

قَالَ بَلْ اَلْقُوْا ۚ فَاِذَا حِبَالُهُمْ وَعِصِیُّهُمْ یُخَیَّلُ اِلَیْهِ مِنْ سِحْرِهِمْ اَنَّهَا تَسْعٰی

He said, “Rather, you throw.” Then, suddenly their ropes and sticks seemed to him, due to their magic, as if they were running.
20:67

فَاَوْجَسَ فِیْ نَفْسِهٖ خِیْفَةً مُّوْسٰی

So, Mūsā concealed some fear in his heart.
20:68

قُلْنَا لَا تَخَفْ اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْاَعْلٰی

We said, “Do not be scared. Certainly, you are to be the upper most.
20:69

وَاَلْقِ مَا فِیْ یَمِیْنِكَ تَلْقَفْ مَا صَنَعُوْا ؕ اِنَّمَا صَنَعُوْا كَیْدُ سٰحِرٍ ؕ وَلَا یُفْلِحُ السَّاحِرُ حَیْثُ اَتٰی

And throw what is in your right hand, and it will devour what they have concocted. What they have concocted is but a sleight of a magician. And the magician does not succeed wherever he comes from.”
20:70

فَاُلْقِیَ السَّحَرَةُ سُجَّدًا قَالُوْۤا اٰمَنَّا بِرَبِّ هٰرُوْنَ وَمُوْسٰی

So, the magicians were led (by the truth) to fall in prostration. They said, “We have (now) believed in the Lord of Hārūn and Mūsā.”
20:71

قَالَ اٰمَنْتُمْ لَهٗ قَبْلَ اَنْ اٰذَنَ لَكُمْ ؕ اِنَّهٗ لَكَبِیْرُكُمُ الَّذِیْ عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَ ۚ فَلَاُقَطِّعَنَّ اَیْدِیَكُمْ وَاَرْجُلَكُمْ مِّنْ خِلَافٍ وَّلَاُوصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ فِیْ جُذُوْعِ النَّخْلِ ؗ وَلَتَعْلَمُنَّ اَیُّنَاۤ اَشَدُّ عَذَابًا وَّاَبْقٰی

He (Pharaoh) said, “You have believed in him before I permit you. This man is in fact your master who has taught you the magic. So I will certainly cut off your hands and your legs from opposite sides, and will crucify you on the trunks of palm-trees, and you shall know whose punishment, out of us, is more severe and more lasting.”
20:72

قَالُوْا لَنْ نُّؤْثِرَكَ عَلٰی مَا جَآءَنَا مِنَ الْبَیِّنٰتِ وَالَّذِیْ فَطَرَنَا فَاقْضِ مَاۤ اَنْتَ قَاضٍ ؕ اِنَّمَا تَقْضِیْ هٰذِهِ الْحَیٰوةَ الدُّنْیَا

They said, “We will never prefer you over the clear signs that have come to us, and over Him who has created us. So, decide whatever you have to decide. You will decide only for this worldly life.
20:73

اِنَّاۤ اٰمَنَّا بِرَبِّنَا لِیَغْفِرَ لَنَا خَطٰیٰنَا وَمَاۤ اَكْرَهْتَنَا عَلَیْهِ مِنَ السِّحْرِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ خَیْرٌ وَّاَبْقٰی

We have put our faith in our Lord, so that He forgives us for our sins and for the magic you compelled us to perform. And Allah is the Best and Everlasting.”
20:74

اِنَّهٗ مَنْ یَّاْتِ رَبَّهٗ مُجْرِمًا فَاِنَّ لَهٗ جَهَنَّمَ ؕ لَا یَمُوْتُ فِیْهَا وَلَا یَحْیٰی

Surely whoever comes to his Lord as a sinner, for him there is Jahannam in which he neither will die nor will live (a happy life).
20:75

وَمَنْ یَّاْتِهٖ مُؤْمِنًا قَدْ عَمِلَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ لَهُمُ الدَّرَجٰتُ الْعُلٰی

And whoever will come to Him as believer, having done righteous deeds, for such people there are the highest ranks,
20:76

جَنّٰتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا ؕ وَذٰلِكَ جَزٰٓؤُا مَنْ تَزَكّٰی

the eternal gardens beneath which rivers flow, in which they shall live for ever. That is the reward for the one who has purified himself.
20:77

وَلَقَدْ اَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلٰی مُوْسٰۤی ۙ۬ اَنْ اَسْرِ بِعِبَادِیْ فَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ طَرِیْقًا فِی الْبَحْرِ یَبَسًا ۙ لَّا تَخٰفُ دَرَكًا وَّلَا تَخْشٰی

And We revealed to Mūsā saying, “Set out with my servants at night, then make for them a dry path across the sea (with the strike of your staff), neither fearing to be caught up, nor having any fear (of drowning).”
20:78

فَاَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ بِجُنُوْدِهٖ فَغَشِیَهُمْ مِّنَ الْیَمِّ مَا غَشِیَهُمْ

Then Pharaoh chased them with his troops. So, they were encircled by that (huge wave) from the sea which overwhelmed them.
20:79

وَاَضَلَّ فِرْعَوْنُ قَوْمَهٗ وَمَا هَدٰی

Pharaoh held his people astray, and did not show them the right path.
20:80

یٰبَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ قَدْ اَنْجَیْنٰكُمْ مِّنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ وَوٰعَدْنٰكُمْ جَانِبَ الطُّوْرِ الْاَیْمَنَ وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَیْكُمُ الْمَنَّ وَالسَّلْوٰی

O children of Isrā’īl , We delivered you from your enemy and appointed for you the right side of the mount Tūr (Sinai), and sent down for you the Mann and Salwā :
20:81

كُلُوْا مِنْ طَیِّبٰتِ مَا رَزَقْنٰكُمْ وَلَا تَطْغَوْا فِیْهِ فَیَحِلَّ عَلَیْكُمْ غَضَبِیْ ۚ وَمَنْ یَّحْلِلْ عَلَیْهِ غَضَبِیْ فَقَدْ هَوٰی

Eat from the good things We have provided to you, and do not exceed the limits in it, lest My wrath should descend on you. The one upon whom My wrath descends certainly falls into destruction.
20:82

وَاِنِّیْ لَغَفَّارٌ لِّمَنْ تَابَ وَاٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا ثُمَّ اهْتَدٰی

Surely I am the Most-Forgiving for him who repents and believes and acts righteously, then follows the right path.
20:83

وَمَاۤ اَعْجَلَكَ عَنْ قَوْمِكَ یٰمُوْسٰی

“What has caused you to hurry before your people, O Mūsā?”
20:84

قَالَ هُمْ اُولَآءِ عَلٰۤی اَثَرِیْ وَعَجِلْتُ اِلَیْكَ رَبِّ لِتَرْضٰی

He said, “Here they are just behind me, and I hurried towards You, my Lord, so that You be pleased.”
20:85

قَالَ فَاِنَّا قَدْ فَتَنَّا قَوْمَكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ وَاَضَلَّهُمُ السَّامِرِیُّ

He said, “We have then put your people to test after you (left them) and Sāmiriyy has misguided them.”
20:86

فَرَجَعَ مُوْسٰۤی اِلٰی قَوْمِهٖ غَضْبَانَ اَسِفًا ۚ۬ قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اَلَمْ یَعِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ وَعْدًا حَسَنًا ؕ۬ اَفَطَالَ عَلَیْكُمُ الْعَهْدُ اَمْ اَرَدْتُّمْ اَنْ یَّحِلَّ عَلَیْكُمْ غَضَبٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ فَاَخْلَفْتُمْ مَّوْعِدِیْ

So, Mūsā went back to his people, angry and sad. He said, “O my people, did your Lord not promise you a good promise? Did then the time become too long for you, or did you wish that wrath from your Lord befalls you, and hence you broke your promise to me?”
20:87

قَالُوْا مَاۤ اَخْلَفْنَا مَوْعِدَكَ بِمَلْكِنَا وَلٰكِنَّا حُمِّلْنَاۤ اَوْزَارًا مِّنْ زِیْنَةِ الْقَوْمِ فَقَذَفْنٰهَا فَكَذٰلِكَ اَلْقَی السَّامِرِیُّ

They said, “We did not break our promise to you of our own accord, but we were burdened with loads from the ornaments of the people;so we threw them, and thus did Sāmiriyy cast.”
20:88

فَاَخْرَجَ لَهُمْ عِجْلًا جَسَدًا لَّهٗ خُوَارٌ فَقَالُوْا هٰذَاۤ اِلٰهُكُمْ وَاِلٰهُ مُوْسٰی ۬ فَنَسِیَ

Then he brought forth for them a calf, which was (merely) a body with a lowing sound. Then they said, “This is your god and the god of Mūsā, and he (Mūsā) erred.”
20:89

اَفَلَا یَرَوْنَ اَلَّا یَرْجِعُ اِلَیْهِمْ قَوْلًا ۙ۬ وَّلَا یَمْلِكُ لَهُمْ ضَرًّا وَّلَا نَفْعًا

Have they not been seeing that it did not respond to them (even) with a word, nor did it have power to harm or benefit them?
20:90

وَلَقَدْ قَالَ لَهُمْ هٰرُوْنُ مِنْ قَبْلُ یٰقَوْمِ اِنَّمَا فُتِنْتُمْ بِهٖ ۚ وَاِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ الرَّحْمٰنُ فَاتَّبِعُوْنِیْ وَاَطِیْعُوْۤا اَمْرِیْ

Hārūn had already said to them, “O my people, you have only been led astray with it, and your Lord is the RaHmān (All-Merciful). So follow me and obey my command.”
20:91

قَالُوْا لَنْ نَّبْرَحَ عَلَیْهِ عٰكِفِیْنَ حَتّٰی یَرْجِعَ اِلَیْنَا مُوْسٰی

They said, “We will never cease to stay with it in devotion, until Mūsā returns to us.”
20:92

قَالَ یٰهٰرُوْنُ مَا مَنَعَكَ اِذْ رَاَیْتَهُمْ ضَلُّوْۤا

He (Mūsā) said, “O Hārūn, what did prevent you from following me when you saw them going astray?
20:93

اَلَّا تَتَّبِعَنِ ؕ اَفَعَصَیْتَ اَمْرِیْ

Did you then disobey my command?”
20:94

قَالَ یَبْنَؤُمَّ لَا تَاْخُذْ بِلِحْیَتِیْ وَلَا بِرَاْسِیْ ۚ اِنِّیْ خَشِیْتُ اَنْ تَقُوْلَ فَرَّقْتَ بَیْنَ بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ وَلَمْ تَرْقُبْ قَوْلِیْ

He said, “O son of my mother, do not hold me by my beard, nor by my head. I feared that you would say, ‘You have caused discord among the children of Isrā’īl and did not observe my advice.’”
20:95

قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكَ یٰسَامِرِیُّ

He (Mūsā) said, “What then is your case, O Sāmiriyy?”
20:96

قَالَ بَصُرْتُ بِمَا لَمْ یَبْصُرُوْا بِهٖ فَقَبَضْتُ قَبْضَةً مِّنْ اَثَرِ الرَّسُوْلِ فَنَبَذْتُهَا وَكَذٰلِكَ سَوَّلَتْ لِیْ نَفْسِیْ

He said, “I perceived something they did not perceive. So I picked up a handful from under the footstep of the messenger. Then, I cast it. And thus my inner self tempted me.”
20:97

قَالَ فَاذْهَبْ فَاِنَّ لَكَ فِی الْحَیٰوةِ اَنْ تَقُوْلَ لَا مِسَاسَ ۪ وَاِنَّ لَكَ مَوْعِدًا لَّنْ تُخْلَفَهٗ ۚ وَانْظُرْ اِلٰۤی اِلٰهِكَ الَّذِیْ ظَلْتَ عَلَیْهِ عَاكِفًا ؕ لَنُحَرِّقَنَّهٗ ثُمَّ لَنَنْسِفَنَّهٗ فِی الْیَمِّ نَسْفًا

He (Mūsā) said, “Then go away; it is destined for you that, throughout your life, you will say: ‘Do not touch me’. And, of course, you have another promise that will not be broken for you. And look at your god to which you stayed devoted. We will certainly burn it, then we will scatter it thoroughly in the sea.
20:98

اِنَّمَاۤ اِلٰهُكُمُ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ ؕ وَسِعَ كُلَّ شَیْءٍ عِلْمًا

Your God is Allah other than whom there is no god. He encompasses everything with knowledge.”
20:99

كَذٰلِكَ نَقُصُّ عَلَیْكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَآءِ مَا قَدْ سَبَقَ ۚ وَقَدْ اٰتَیْنٰكَ مِنْ لَّدُنَّا ذِكْرًا

This is how We narrate to you certain events of what has passed, and We have given to you, from Ourself, a (book of) advice.
20:100

مَنْ اَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ فَاِنَّهٗ یَحْمِلُ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ وِزْرًا

Whoever turns away from it shall certainly bear a heavy burden on Doomsday,
20:101

خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهِ ؕ وَسَآءَ لَهُمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ حِمْلًا

all such people living under it forever. And how evil for them will be that burden on the Doomsday!
20:102

یَّوْمَ یُنْفَخُ فِی الصُّوْرِ وَنَحْشُرُ الْمُجْرِمِیْنَ یَوْمَىِٕذٍ زُرْقًا

The Day when the Horn (Sūr) will be blown, and We shall gather them together while they will have turned blue on that day,
20:103

یَّتَخَافَتُوْنَ بَیْنَهُمْ اِنْ لَّبِثْتُمْ اِلَّا عَشْرًا

and will be whispering among themselves, “You did not remain (in graves) more than ten (days)”.
20:104

نَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا یَقُوْلُوْنَ اِذْ یَقُوْلُ اَمْثَلُهُمْ طَرِیْقَةً اِنْ لَّبِثْتُمْ اِلَّا یَوْمًا

We know very well what they say, when the best of them in his ways will say, “You did not remain more than one day.”
20:105

وَیَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ عَنِ الْجِبَالِ فَقُلْ یَنْسِفُهَا رَبِّیْ نَسْفًا

They ask you about the mountains. So, say (to them), “My Lord will crush them into dust thoroughly,
20:106

فَیَذَرُهَا قَاعًا صَفْصَفًا

then will turn them into a leveled plain
20:107

لَّا تَرٰی فِیْهَا عِوَجًا وَّلَاۤ اَمْتًا

in which you will see neither a curve nor an uneven place.”
20:108

یَوْمَىِٕذٍ یَّتَّبِعُوْنَ الدَّاعِیَ لَا عِوَجَ لَهٗ ۚ وَخَشَعَتِ الْاَصْوَاتُ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ فَلَا تَسْمَعُ اِلَّا هَمْسًا

That day they will follow the caller who will find no deviation (from anyone). And the voices will turn low in awe for the RaHmān (All-Merciful, Allah). So, you will hear not but whispering.
20:109

یَوْمَىِٕذٍ لَّا تَنْفَعُ الشَّفَاعَةُ اِلَّا مَنْ اَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمٰنُ وَرَضِیَ لَهٗ قَوْلًا

That day no intercession will be of any use to anyone, except the one whom the RaHmān (All-Merciful, Allah) has permitted and was pleased with his word.
20:110

یَعْلَمُ مَا بَیْنَ اَیْدِیْهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا یُحِیْطُوْنَ بِهٖ عِلْمًا

He knows what is in front of them and what is behind them, and they do not encompass Him in (their) knowledge.
20:111

وَعَنَتِ الْوُجُوْهُ لِلْحَیِّ الْقَیُّوْمِ ؕ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنْ حَمَلَ ظُلْمًا

All faces will be humbled before (Allah,) the Ever-Alive, the All-Sustaining; and the loser will be the one who bears (the burden of his) injustice.
20:112

وَمَنْ یَّعْمَلْ مِنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَا یَخٰفُ ظُلْمًا وَّلَا هَضْمًا

But whoever does righteous deeds, while he is a believer, shall fear neither injustice nor curtailment (of his rewards).
20:113

وَكَذٰلِكَ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ قُرْاٰنًا عَرَبِیًّا وَّصَرَّفْنَا فِیْهِ مِنَ الْوَعِیْدِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَتَّقُوْنَ اَوْ یُحْدِثُ لَهُمْ ذِكْرًا

And in this way We have sent it down to you as an Arabic Qur’ān, and have detailed in it some warnings in various ways, so that they may fear, or it may produce a lesson for them.
20:114

فَتَعٰلَی اللّٰهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ ۚ وَلَا تَعْجَلْ بِالْقُرْاٰنِ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ یُّقْضٰۤی اِلَیْكَ وَحْیُهٗ ؗ وَقُلْ رَّبِّ زِدْنِیْ عِلْمًا

So High above all is Allah, the True King! And do not hasten with (reciting) the Qur’ān before its revelation to you is concluded, and say, “My Lord, improve me in knowledge.”
20:115

وَلَقَدْ عَهِدْنَاۤ اِلٰۤی اٰدَمَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَنَسِیَ وَلَمْ نَجِدْ لَهٗ عَزْمًا

We had given a directive to ’Ādam earlier, then he forgot, and We did not find in him a firm resolve.
20:116

وَاِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةِ اسْجُدُوْا لِاٰدَمَ فَسَجَدُوْۤا اِلَّاۤ اِبْلِیْسَ ؕ اَبٰی

When We said to the angels, “Prostrate yourselves to ’Ādam”. So, all of them fell prostrate, except Iblīs , who refused.
20:117

فَقُلْنَا یٰۤاٰدَمُ اِنَّ هٰذَا عَدُوٌّ لَّكَ وَلِزَوْجِكَ فَلَا یُخْرِجَنَّكُمَا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ فَتَشْقٰی

So, We said “’Ādam, this is an enemy to you and to your wife. So let him not expel you from Paradise, lest you should get into trouble.
20:118

اِنَّ لَكَ اَلَّا تَجُوْعَ فِیْهَا وَلَا تَعْرٰی

Here you have the privilege that you will not be hungry nor will you be unclad,
20:119

وَاَنَّكَ لَا تَظْمَؤُا فِیْهَا وَلَا تَضْحٰی

and you will not be thirsty, nor will you be exposed to sun.”
20:120

فَوَسْوَسَ اِلَیْهِ الشَّیْطٰنُ قَالَ یٰۤاٰدَمُ هَلْ اَدُلُّكَ عَلٰی شَجَرَةِ الْخُلْدِ وَمُلْكٍ لَّا یَبْلٰی

Then the Satan instigated him. He said, “’Ādam, shall I guide you to the tree of eternity and to an empire that does not decay?”
20:121

فَاَكَلَا مِنْهَا فَبَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْاٰتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا یَخْصِفٰنِ عَلَیْهِمَا مِنْ وَّرَقِ الْجَنَّةِ ؗ وَعَصٰۤی اٰدَمُ رَبَّهٗ فَغَوٰی

So, both of them Ādam and Hawwā’ (Eve)] ate from it, and their parts of shame were exposed to them, and they started stitching on themselves some of the leaves of Paradise. And ’Ādam disobeyed his Lord, and erred.
20:122

ثُمَّ اجْتَبٰهُ رَبُّهٗ فَتَابَ عَلَیْهِ وَهَدٰی

Thereafter his Lord chose him. So He accepted his repentance and gave (him) guidance.
20:123

قَالَ اهْبِطَا مِنْهَا جَمِیْعًا بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ ۚ فَاِمَّا یَاْتِیَنَّكُمْ مِّنِّیْ هُدًی ۙ۬ فَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ هُدَایَ فَلَا یَضِلُّ وَلَا یَشْقٰی

He said (to ’Ādam and Iblīs), “Go down from here, all of you, some of you enemies of some others. Then, should some guidance come to you from Me, the one who follows My guidance shall not go astray, nor shall he be in trouble.
20:124

وَمَنْ اَعْرَضَ عَنْ ذِكْرِیْ فَاِنَّ لَهٗ مَعِیْشَةً ضَنْكًا وَّنَحْشُرُهٗ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ اَعْمٰی

As for the one who turns away from My message, he shall have a straitened life, and We shall raise him blind on the Day of Judgment.”
20:125

قَالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرْتَنِیْۤ اَعْمٰی وَقَدْ كُنْتُ بَصِیْرًا

He will say, “My Lord, why did you raise me blind while I was sighted?”
20:126

قَالَ كَذٰلِكَ اَتَتْكَ اٰیٰتُنَا فَنَسِیْتَهَا ۚ وَكَذٰلِكَ الْیَوْمَ تُنْسٰی

He will say, “In the similar manner as Our signs came to you, and you had ignored them. In the same way you will be ignored today.”
20:127

وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِیْ مَنْ اَسْرَفَ وَلَمْ یُؤْمِنْ بِاٰیٰتِ رَبِّهٖ ؕ وَلَعَذَابُ الْاٰخِرَةِ اَشَدُّ وَاَبْقٰی

Thus We recompense him who exceeds the limits and does not believe in the signs of his Lord. Certainly the punishment of the Hereafter is more severe and more lasting.
20:128

اَفَلَمْ یَهْدِ لَهُمْ كَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنَ الْقُرُوْنِ یَمْشُوْنَ فِیْ مَسٰكِنِهِمْ ؕ اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّاُولِی النُّهٰی

Did it give them no guidance (to realize) how many generations We have destroyed prior to them in whose dwellings they (often) walk around? Surely, in this there are signs for the men of reason.
20:129

وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ لَكَانَ لِزَامًا وَّاَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّی

But for a word from your Lord that had passed earlier, and an appointed time that had been fixed, it (the punishment) would have been inevitable (for them).
20:130

فَاصْبِرْ عَلٰی مَا یَقُوْلُوْنَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوْعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوْبِهَا ۚ وَمِنْ اٰنَآئِ الَّیْلِ فَسَبِّحْ وَاَطْرَافَ النَّهَارِ لَعَلَّكَ تَرْضٰی

So, (O messenger,) endure with patience what they say, and proclaim the purity and praise of your Lord before sunrise and before sunset. And in some hours of night, proclaim His purity, and at points of the day as well, so that you may be pleased.
20:131

وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَیْنَیْكَ اِلٰی مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهٖۤ اَزْوَاجًا مِّنْهُمْ زَهْرَةَ الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا ۙ۬ لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِیْهِ ؕ وَرِزْقُ رَبِّكَ خَیْرٌ وَّاَبْقٰی

Never stretch your eyes towards the things We have given to some groups of them to enjoy, so that We put them to test thereby, it being merely glamour of the worldly life. And the bounty of your Lord is much better and more lasting.
20:132

وَاْمُرْ اَهْلَكَ بِالصَّلٰوةِ وَاصْطَبِرْ عَلَیْهَا ؕ لَا نَسْـَٔلُكَ رِزْقًا ؕ نَحْنُ نَرْزُقُكَ ؕ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلتَّقْوٰی

Bid your family to perform Salāh, and adhere to it yourself. We ask no provision from you. We give provision to you. And the ultimate end is in favour of Taqwā (God-fearing, and piety).
20:133

وَقَالُوْا لَوْلَا یَاْتِیْنَا بِاٰیَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖ ؕ اَوَلَمْ تَاْتِهِمْ بَیِّنَةُ مَا فِی الصُّحُفِ الْاُوْلٰی

They say, “Why does he not bring to us a sign from his Lord?” Has there not come to them the clear sign of what is contained in the earlier Scriptures?
20:134

وَلَوْ اَنَّاۤ اَهْلَكْنٰهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِهٖ لَقَالُوْا رَبَّنَا لَوْلَاۤ اَرْسَلْتَ اِلَیْنَا رَسُوْلًا فَنَتَّبِعَ اٰیٰتِكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ نَّذِلَّ وَنَخْزٰی

And if We had destroyed them with a punishment before it, they would have said, “Our Lord, why did you not send a messenger to us, so that we might have followed Your signs before we were humiliated and put to disgrace?”
20:135

قُلْ كُلٌّ مُّتَرَبِّصٌ فَتَرَبَّصُوْا ۚ فَسَتَعْلَمُوْنَ مَنْ اَصْحٰبُ الصِّرَاطِ السَّوِیِّ وَمَنِ اهْتَدٰی

Say, “Everyone is waiting. So wait, then you will know who the people of the straight path are and who has followed the right guidance.”
