Ta, Ha.

مَا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْآنَ لِتَشْقَىٰ

ma anzalna 'alayka al-qur'an litashqa

We have not sent down to you the Qur'an that you be distressed

إِلَّا تَذْكِرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰ

illa tadhkiratan liman yakhsha

But only as a reminder for those who fear [Allah] -

تَنزِيلًا مِّمَّنْ خَلَقَ الْأَرْضَ وَالسَّمَاوَاتِ الْعُلَى

tanzila mimman khalaq al-ard wa-samawat al-'ula

A revelation from He who created the earth and highest heavens,

الرَّحْمَـٰنُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ اسْتَوَىٰ

ar-rahman 'ala al-'arsh istawa

The Most Merciful [who is] above the Throne established.

لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَمَا تَحْتَ الثَّرَىٰ

lahu ma fi as-samawat wa-ma fi al-ard wa-ma baynahuma wa-ma tahta ath-thara

To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth and what is between them and what is under the soil.

وَإِن تَجْهَرْ بِالْقَوْلِ فَإِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ السِّرَّ وَأَخْفَى

wa-in tajhar bil-qawl fa-innahu ya'lam as-sirr wa-akhfa

And if you speak aloud - then indeed, He knows the secret and what is [even] more hidden.

اللَّهُ لَا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ لَهُ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَىٰ

Allah la ilaha illa huwa lahu al-asma' al-husna

Allah - there is no deity except Him. To Him belong the best names.

وَهَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰ

wa-hal ataka hadith Musa

And has the story of Moses reached you? -

إِذْ رَأَىٰ نَارًا فَقَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ امْكُثُوا إِنِّي آنَسْتُ نَارًا لَّعَلِّي آتِيكُم مِّنْهَا بِقَبَسٍ أَوْ أَجِدُ عَلَى النَّارِ هُدًى

idh ra'a naran faqal li-ahlihi omkuthu inni anastu naran la'alli atikum minha biqabas aw ajidu 'ala an-nar huda

When he saw a fire and said to his family, "Stay here; indeed, I have perceived a fire; perhaps I can bring you a torch or find at the fire some guidance."

فَلَمَّا أَتَاهَا نُودِيَ يَا مُوسَىٰ

falamma ataha nudiya ya Musa

And when he came to it, he was called, "O Moses,

إِنِّي أَنَا رَبُّكَ فَاخْلَعْ نَعْلَيْكَ ۖ إِنَّكَ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى

inni ana rabbuka fa-khla' na'layk innak bi-l-wad al-muqaddas tuwan

Indeed, I am your Lord, so remove your sandals. Indeed, you are in the sacred valley of Tuwa.

وَأَنَا اخْتَرْتُكَ فَاسْتَمِعْ لِمَا يُوحَىٰ

wa-ana ikhtartuka fa-stami' lima yuha

And I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed [to you].

إِنَّنِي أَنَا اللَّهُ لَا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا أَنَا فَاعْبُدْنِي وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ لِذِكْرِي

innani ana Allahu la ilaha illa ana fa'budni wa-aqim as-salata li-dhikri

Indeed, I am Allah. There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance.

إِنَّ السَّاعَةَ آتِيَةٌ أَكَادُ أُخْفِيهَا لِتُجْزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا تَسْعَىٰ

inna as-sa'ah atiyah akadu ukhiha litujza kull nafs bima tas'a

Indeed, the Hour is coming - I almost conceal it - so that every soul may be recompensed according to that for which it strives.

فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكَ عَنْهَا مَن لَّا يُؤْمِنُ بِهَا وَاتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ فَتَرْدَىٰ

fa-la yasuddannaka 'anha man la yu'min biha wa-ittaba'a hawahu fa-tarda

So do not let one avert you from it who does not believe in it and follows his desire, for you [then] would perish.

وَمَا تِلْكَ بِيَمِينِكَ يَا مُوسَىٰ

wa ma tilka bi-yaminika ya Musa

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

قَالَ هِيَ عَصَايَ أَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَيْهَا وَأَهُشُّ بِهَا عَلَىٰ غَنَمِي وَلِيَ فِيهَا مَآرِبُ أُخْرَىٰ

qala hiya 'asaya atawaka'u 'alayha wa-ahushshu biha 'ala ghanami wa-liya fiha ma'aribu ukhra

He said, "It is my staff; I lean upon it, and I bring down leaves for my sheep and I have therein other uses."

قَالَ أَلْقِهَا يَا مُوسَىٰ

qala alqiha ya Musa

[Allah] said, "Throw it down, O Moses."

فَأَلْقَاهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ حَيَّةٌ تَسْعَىٰ

fa-alqaha fa-idha hiya hayyatun tansa

So he threw it down, and thereupon it was a snake, moving swiftly.

قَالَ خُذْهَا وَلَا تَخَفْ ۖ سَنُعِيدُهَا سِيرَتَهَا الْأُولَىٰ

qala khudha wa-la takhaf sanu'iduha sirataha al-ula

[Allah] said, "Seize it and fear not; We will return it to its former condition.

وَاضْمُمْ يَدَكَ إِلَىٰ جَنَاحِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَاءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوءٍ آيَةً أُخْرَىٰ

wa-udmum yadak ila janahik takhruj bayda' min ghayri su' ayatan ukhra

And draw in your hand to your side; it will come out white without disease - another sign,

لِنُرِيَكَ مِنْ آيَاتِنَا الْكُبْرَى

li-nuriyaka min ayatina al-kubra

That We may show you [some] of Our greater signs.

اذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَىٰ

idhhab ila fir'awn innahu tagha

Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed."

قَالَ رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي

qala rabbi israh li sadri

[Moses] said, "My Lord, expand for me my breast [with assurance]

وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي

wa-yassir li amri

And ease for me my task

وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِّن لِّسَانِي

wah-lul 'uqdatan min lisani

And untie the knot from my tongue

يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي

yafqahu qawli

That they may understand my speech.

وَاجْعَل لِّي وَزِيرًا مِّنْ أَهْلِي

waj-'al li waziran min ahli

And appoint for me a minister from my family -

هَارُونَ أَخِي

haruna akhi

Aaron, my brother.

اشْدُدْ بِهِ أَزْرِي

shudd bih azri

Increase through him my strength

وَأَشْرِكْهُ فِي أَمْرِي

wa-ashrikh fi amri

And let him share my task

كَيْ نُسَبِّحَكَ كَثِيرًا

kay nusabbihak kathira

That we may exalt You much

وَنَذْكُرَكَ كَثِيرًا

wa-nadhkuraka kathira

And remember You much.

إِنَّكَ كُنتَ بِنَا بَصِيرًا

innaka kunta bana basir

Indeed, You are of us ever Seeing."

قَالَ قَدْ أُوتِيتَ سُؤْلَكَ يَا مُوسَىٰ

qala qad utita su'laka ya Musa

[Allah] said, "You have been granted your request, O Moses.

وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَيْكَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَىٰ

wa-laqad mananna 'alayk marratan ukhra

And We had already conferred favor upon you another time,

إِذْ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ أُمِّكَ مَا يُوحَىٰ

idh awhayna ila ummika ma yuha

When We inspired to your mother what We inspired,

أَنِ اقْذِفِيهِ فِي التَّابُوتِ فَاقْذِفِيهِ فِي الْيَمِّ فَلْيُلْقِهِ الْيَمُّ بِالسَّاحِلِ يَأْخُذْهُ عَدُوٌّ لِّي وَعَدُوٌّ لَّهُ ۚ وَأَلْقَيْتُ عَلَيْكَ مَحَبَّةً مِّنِّي وَلِتُصْنَعَ عَلَىٰ عَيْنِي

[Saying], 'Cast him into the chest and cast it into the river, and the river will throw it onto the bank; there will take him an enemy to Me and an enemy to him.' And I bestowed upon you love from Me that you would be brought up under My eye.

إِذْ تَمْشِي أُخْتُكَ فَتَقُولُ هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن يَكْفُلُهُ ۖ فَرَجَعْنَاكَ إِلَىٰ أُمِّكَ كَيْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَ ۚ وَقَتَلْتَ نَفْسًا فَنَجَّيْنَاكَ مِنَ الْغَمِّ وَفَتَنَّاكَ فُتُونًا ۚ فَلَبِثْتَ سِنِينَ فِي أَهْلِ مَدْيَنَ ثُمَّ جِئْتَ عَلَىٰ قَدَرٍ يَا مُوسَىٰ

[And We favored you] when your sister went and said, 'Shall I direct you to someone who will be responsible for him?' So We restored you to your mother that she might be content and not grieve. And you killed someone, but We saved you from retaliation and tried you with a [severe] trial. And you remained [some] years among the people of Madyan. Then you came [here] at the decreed time, O Moses.

وَاصْطَنَعْتُكَ لِنَفْسِي

wa-sna'tuka li-nafsi

And I produced you for Myself.

اذْهَبْ أَنتَ وَأَخُوكَ بِآيَاتِي وَلَا تَنِيَا فِي ذِكْرِي

idhhab anta wa-akhuka bi-'ayati wa-la taniya fi dhikri

Go, you and your brother, with My signs and do not slacken in My remembrance.

اذْهَبَا إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَىٰ

adhhaba ila fir'awn innahu tagha

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

فَقُولَا لَهُ قَوْلًا لَّيِّنًا لَّعَلَّهُ يَتَذَكَّرُ أَوْ يَخْشَىٰ

fa-qula lahu qawlan layyinan la'allahu yatadhakkaru aw yakhsha

And speak to him with gentle speech that perhaps he may be reminded or fear [Allah]."

قَالَا رَبَّنَا إِنَّنَا نَخَافُ أَن يَفْرُطَ عَلَيْنَا أَوْ أَن يَطْغَىٰ

qala rabbana inna nakhafu an yafrut 'alayna aw an yatgha

They said, "Our Lord, indeed we are afraid that he will hasten [punishment] against us or that he will transgress."

قَالَ لَا تَخَافَا ۖ إِنَّنِي مَعَكُمَا أَسْمَعُ وَأَرَىٰ

qala la takhafa innani ma'akuma asma'u wa-ara

[Allah] said, "Fear not. Indeed, I am with you both; I hear and I see.

فَأْتِيَاهُ فَقُولَا إِنَّا رَسُولَا رَبِّكَ فَأَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَا تُعَذِّبْهُمْ ۖ قَدْ جِئْنَاكَ بِآيَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۖ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَىٰ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الْهُدَىٰ

fa'tiyahu faqula inna rasula rabbika fa'arsil ma'ana bani Isra'ila wa-la tu'adhdhibhum qad ji'naka bi'ayatin min rabbika was-salam 'ala mani ittaba'a al-huda

So go to him and say, 'Indeed, we are messengers of your Lord, so send with us the Children of Israel and do not torment them. We have come to you with a sign from your Lord. And peace will be upon he who follows the guidance.

إِنَّا قَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيْنَا أَنَّ الْعَذَابَ عَلَىٰ مَن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

inna qad uhiya ilayna anna al-'adhab 'ala man kadhaba wa-tawalla

Indeed, it has been revealed to us that the punishment will be upon whoever denies and turns away.' "

قَالَ فَمَن رَّبُّكُمَا يَا مُوسَىٰ

qala fa-man rabbukuma ya Musa

[Pharaoh] said, "So who is the Lord of you two, O Moses?"

قَالَ رَبُّنَا الَّذِي أَعْطَىٰ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلْقَهُ ثُمَّ هَدَىٰ

qala rabbuna alladhi a'tha kulla shay' khalqahu thumma hada

He said, "Our Lord is He who gave each thing its form and then guided [it]."

قَالَ فَمَا بَالُ الْقُرُونِ الْأُولَىٰ

qala fa-ma balu al-qurun al-ula

[Pharaoh] said, "Then what is the case of the former generations?"

قَالَ عِلْمُهَا عِندَ رَبِّي فِي كِتَابٍ ۖ لَّا يَضِلُّ رَبِّي وَلَا يَنسَى

qala 'ilmuha 'inda rabbi fi kitab la yadillu rabbi wa-la yansa

[Moses] said, "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a record. My Lord neither errs nor forgets."

الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ مَهْدًا وَسَلَكَ لَكُمْ فِيهَا سُبُلًا وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِ أَزْوَاجًا مِّن نَّبَاتٍ شَتَّىٰ

alladhi ja'ala lakum al-ard mahdan wa-salaka lakum fiha subulan wa-anzala min as-sama' ma'an fa-akhrajna bihi azwajan min nabin shatta

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

كُلُوا وَارْعَوْا أَنْعَامَكُمْ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّأُولِي النُّهَىٰ

kulu war-'aw an-'amakum inna fi dhalika la-ayat li-'uli an-nuha

Eat [therefrom] and pasture your livestock. Indeed, in that are signs for those of intelligence.

مِنْهَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمْ وَمِنْهَا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تَارَةً أُخْرَىٰ

minha khalaqnakum wa-fiha nu'idukum wa-minha nukhrijukum taratan ukhra

From the earth We created you, and into it We will return you, and from it We will extract you another time.

وَلَقَدْ أَرَيْنَاهُ آيَاتِنَا كُلَّهَا فَكَذَّبَ وَأَبَىٰ

wa-laqad araynahu ayatina kullaha fa-kadhdhaba wa-aba

And We certainly showed Pharaoh Our signs - all of them - but he denied and refused.

قَالَ أَجِئْتَنَا لِتُخْرِجَنَا مِنْ أَرْضِنَا بِسِحْرِكَ يَا مُوسَىٰ

qala aji'tana li-tukhrijana min ardina bi-sihrika ya Musa

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

فَلَنَأْتِيَنَّكَ بِسِحْرٍ مِّثْلِهِ فَاجْعَلْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ مَوْعِدًا لَّا نُخْلِفُهُ نَحْنُ وَلَا أَنتَ مَكَانًا سُوًى

fa-la-na'tiyannaka bi-sihr mithl fa-j'al baynana wa-baynak maw'id la nukhlifuh nahn wa-la anta makan sawa'

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

قَالَ مَوْعِدُكُمْ يَوْمُ الزِّينَةِ وَأَن يُحْشَرَ النَّاسُ ضُحًى

qala maw'idukum yawm az-zinah wa-an yuhshar an-nas duha

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

فَتَوَلَّىٰ فِرْعَوْنُ فَجَمَعَ كَيْدَهُ ثُمَّ أَتَىٰ

fa-tawalla fir'awn fa-jama' kaydah thumma ata

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

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰ وَيْلَكُمْ لَا تَفْتَرُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا فَيُسْحِتَكُم بِعَذَابٍ ۖ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنِ افْتَرَىٰ

qala lahum Musa waylakum la taftaru 'ala Allahi kadhiban fa-yushitakum bi-'adhab wa-qad khaba mani iftara

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

فَتَنَازَعُوا أَمْرَهُم بَيْنَهُمْ وَأَسَرُّوا النَّجْوَىٰ

fa-tanaza'u amrahum baynahum wa-asarru an-najwa

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

قَالُوا إِنْ هَـٰذَانِ لَسَاحِرَانِ يُرِيدَانِ أَن يُخْرِجَاكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِمَا وَيَذْهَبَا بِطَرِيقَتِكُمُ الْمُثْلَىٰ

qalu in hadhani lasahirani yuridani an yukhrijakum min ardikum bisihrihima wa-yadhhaba bi-tariqatikum al-muthla

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

فَأَجْمِعُوا كَيْدَكُمْ ثُمَّ ائْتُوا صَفًّا ۚ وَقَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْيَوْمَ مَنِ اسْتَعْلَىٰ

fa-jmi'u kaydakum thumma 'itu safan wa-qad aflaha al-yawm mani-sta'la

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

قَالُوا يَا مُوسَىٰ إِمَّا أَن تُلْقِيَ وَإِمَّا أَن نَّكُونَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَلْقَىٰ

qalu ya Musa imma an tulqiya wa-imma an nakuna awwala man alqa

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

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

qala bal alqu fa-itha hibaluhum wa-'isiyyuhum yukhayyalu ilayhi min sihrihim annaha tas'a

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

فَأَوْجَسَ فِي نَفْسِهِ خِيفَةً مُّوسَىٰ

fa-wajasa fi nafsihi khifatan Musa

And he sensed within himself apprehension, did Moses.

قُلْنَا لَا تَخَفْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْأَعْلَىٰ

qulna la takhaf innaka anta al-a'la

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

وَأَلْقِ مَا فِي يَمِينِكَ تَلْقَفْ مَا صَنَعُوا ۖ إِنَّمَا صَنَعُوا كَيْدُ سَاحِرٍ ۖ وَلَا يُفْلِحُ السَّاحِرُ حَيْثُ أَتَىٰ

wa-alqi ma fi yaminik talfafo ma sana'u innama sana'u kayd sahir wa-la yuflih as-sahir haythu ata

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

فَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سُجَّدًا قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ هَارُونَ وَمُوسَىٰ

fa-ulqiya as-saharata sujjadan qalu amanna bi-rabb Harun wa-Musa

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

قَالَ آمَنتُمْ لَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ آذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ الَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَ ۖ فَلَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَافٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ فِي جُذُوعِ النَّخْلِ وَلَتَعْلَمُنَّ أَيُّنَا أَشَدُّ عَذَابًا وَأَبْقَىٰ

qala a'mantum lahu qabla an adhana lakum innahu la-kabirukum alladhi 'allamakum as-sihr fa-la-uqatti'anna aydiyakum wa-arjulakum min khilafin wa-la-usallibannakum fi judhu' an-nakhli wa-la-ta'lamunna ayyuna ashaddu 'adhaban wa-abqa

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

قَالُوا لَن نُّؤْثِرَكَ عَلَىٰ مَا جَاءَنَا مِنَ الْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالَّذِي فَطَرَنَا ۖ فَاقْضِ مَا أَنتَ قَاضٍ ۖ إِنَّمَا تَقْضِي هَـٰذِهِ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا

qalu lan nu'thirak 'ala ma ja'ana min al-bayyinat wal-ladhi fatarana fa-qdi ma anta qadhinnama taqdi hadhih al-hayat al-dunya

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

إِنَّا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّنَا لِيَغْفِرَ لَنَا خَطَايَانَا وَمَا أَكْرَهْتَنَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ السِّحْرِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ

inna amanna bi-rabbina li-yaghfir lana khatayana wa-ma akrahtana 'alayhi min as-sihr wa-Allahu khayr wa-abqa

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

إِنَّهُ مَن يَأْتِ رَبَّهُ مُجْرِمًا فَإِنَّ لَهُ جَهَنَّمَ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ

innahu man ya'ti rabbahu mujrim fa-inna lahu jahannam la yamut fiha wa-la yahya

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

وَمَن يَأْتِهِ مُؤْمِنًا قَدْ عَمِلَ الصَّالِحَاتِ فَأُولَـٰئِكَ لَهُمُ الدَّرَجَاتُ الْعُلَىٰ

wa-man ya'tihi mu'minan qad 'amila as-salihat fa-ula'ika lahum ad-darajat al-'ula

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

جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ جَزَاءُ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ

jannat 'adn tajri min tahtiha al-anhar khalidin fiha wa-dhalika jaza' man tazakka

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

وَلَقَدْ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِي فَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ طَرِيقًا فِي الْبَحْرِ يَبَسًا لَّا تَخَافُ دَرَكًا وَلَا تَخْشَىٰ

wa-laqad aw-hayna ila Musa an asri bi-'ibadi fa-drib lahum tariq fi al-bahr yabas la takhaf darak wa-la takhsha

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

فَأَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ بِجُنُودِهِ فَغَشِيَهُم مِّنَ الْيَمِّ مَا غَشِيَهُمْ

fa-atba'ahum fir'awn bijunudih faghashiyahum min al-yamm ma ghashiyahum

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

وَأَضَلَّ فِرْعَوْنُ قَوْمَهُ وَمَا هَدَىٰ

wa-adalla fir'awn qawmahu wa-ma hada

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

يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ أَنجَيْنَاكُم مِّنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ وَوَاعَدْنَاكُمْ جَانِبَ الطُّورِ الْأَيْمَنَ وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَنَّ وَالسَّلْوَىٰ

ya bani isra'il qad anjaynakum min 'aduwwikum wa-wa'adnakum janib at-tur al-ayman wa-nazzalna 'alaykum al-mann wa-s-salwa

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

كُلُوا مِن طَيِّبَاتِ مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْ وَلَا تَطْغَوْا فِيهِ فَيَحِلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ غَضَبِي ۖ وَمَن يَحْلِلْ عَلَيْهِ غَضَبِي فَقَدْ هَوَىٰ

kulu min tayyibat ma razaqnakum wa-la tatghaw fihi fa-yahill 'alaykum ghadabi wa-man yahlil 'alayhi ghadabi fa-qad hawa

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

وَإِنِّي لَغَفَّارٌ لِّمَن تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا ثُمَّ اهْتَدَىٰ

wa-inni la-ghaffar liman taba wa-amana wa-'amila salihan thuma ihtada

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

وَمَا أَعْجَلَكَ عَن قَوْمِكَ يَا مُوسَىٰ

wa-ma a'jalaka 'an qawmika ya Musa

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

قَالَ هُمْ أُولَاءِ عَلَىٰ أَثَرِي وَعَجِلْتُ إِلَيْكَ رَبِّ لِتَرْضَىٰ

qala hum ula'i 'ala athari wa-'ajiltu ilayka rabbi li-tarda

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

قَالَ فَإِنَّا قَدْ فَتَنَّا قَوْمَكَ مِن بَعْدِكَ وَأَضَلَّهُمُ السَّامِرِيُّ

qala fa-inna qad fatanna qawmak min ba'dik wa-adallahum as-samiriy

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

فَرَجَعَ مُوسَىٰ إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ غَضْبَانَ أَسِفًا ۚ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ أَلَمْ يَعِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ وَعْدًا حَسَنًا ۚ أَفَطَالَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْعَهْدُ أَمْ أَرَدتُّمْ أَن يَحِلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ غَضَبٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ فَأَخْلَفْتُم مَّوْعِدِي

faraja'a Musa ila qawmih ghadban asifa qala ya qawmi alam ya'idkum rabbukum wa'dan hasanan afatala 'alaykum al-'ahd am aradtum an yahilla 'alaykum ghadab min rabbikum fa-akhlaftum maw'idi

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

قَالُوا مَا أَخْلَفْنَا مَوْعِدَكَ بِمَلْكِنَا وَلَـٰكِنَّا حُمِّلْنَا أَوْزَارًا مِّن زِينَةِ الْقَوْمِ فَقَذَفْنَاهَا فَكَذَٰلِكَ أَلْقَى السَّامِرِيُّ

qalu ma akhlafna maw'idaqa bimalkina wa-lakinna hummilna awzaran min zinat al-qawm fa-qadhafnaha fa-kadhalika alqa as-samiri

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

فَأَخْرَجَ لَهُمْ عِجْلًا جَسَدًا لَّهُ خُوَارٌ فَقَالُوا هَـٰذَا إِلَـٰهُكُمْ وَإِلَـٰهُ مُوسَىٰ فَنَسِيَ

fa-akhraja lahum 'ijlan jasadan lahu khuwarun fa-qalu hadha ilahukum wa-ilahu Musa fa-nasiya

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

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

a-fala yarawna alla yarji'u ilayhim qawlan wa-la yamliku lahum darran wa-la naf'an

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

وَلَقَدْ قَالَ لَهُمْ هَارُونُ مِن قَبْلُ يَا قَوْمِ إِنَّمَا فُتِنتُم بِهِ ۖ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ الرَّحْمَـٰنُ فَاتَّبِعُونِي وَأَطِيعُوا أَمْرِي

wa-laqad qala lahum Harun min qablu ya qawmi innama futintum bihi wa-inna rabbakum ar-rahman fa-ittabi'uni wa-ati'u amri

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

قَالُوا لَن نَّبْرَحَ عَلَيْهِ عَاكِفِينَ حَتَّىٰ يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ

qalu lan nabraha 'alayhi 'akifina hatta yarji'a ilayna Musa

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

قَالَ يَا هَارُونُ مَا مَنَعَكَ إِذْ رَأَيْتَهُمْ ضَلُّوا

qala ya Harunu ma mana'aka idh ra'aytahum dallu

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

أَلَّا تَتَّبِعَنِ ۖ أَفَعَصَيْتَ أَمْرِي

alla tattabi'ani fa-'a'asayta amri

From following me? Then have you disobeyed my order?"

قَالَ يَا ابْنَ أُمَّ لَا تَأْخُذْ بِلِحْيَتِي وَلَا بِرَأْسِي ۖ إِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَن تَقُولَ فَرَّقْتَ بَيْنَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَمْ تَرْقُبْ قَوْلِي

qala ya ibna umma la ta'khudh bilhiyati wa-la bira'si inni khashitu an taqula farraqta bayna bani Isra'ila wa-lam tarqub qawli

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

قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكَ يَا سَامِرِيُّ

qala fa-ma khatbuka ya samiriy

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

قَالَ بَصُرْتُ بِمَا لَمْ يَبْصُرُوا بِهِ فَقَبَضْتُ قَبْضَةً مِّنْ أَثَرِ الرَّسُولِ فَنَبَذْتُهَا وَكَذَٰلِكَ سَوَّلَتْ لِي نَفْسِي

qala basurtu bima lam yabsuru bihi faqabadtu qabdah min athar ar-rasul fa-nabadhtuha wa-kadhalika sawwalat li nafsi

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

قَالَ فَاذْهَبْ فَإِنَّ لَكَ فِي الْحَيَاةِ أَن تَقُولَ لَا مِسَاسَ ۖ وَإِنَّ لَكَ مَوْعِدًا لَّن تُخْلَفَهُ ۖ وَانظُرْ إِلَىٰ إِلَـٰهِكَ الَّذِي ظَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ عَاكِفًا ۖ لَّنُحَرِّقَنَّهُ ثُمَّ لَنَنسِفَنَّهُ فِي الْيَمِّ نَسْفًا

qala fa-adhhab fa-inna laka fi al-hayat an taqul la misas wa-inna laka maw'id lan tukhlafahu wa-nzur ila ilahik alladhi zalt 'alayh 'akifan lanuharriqannahu thumma lanansifannahu fi al-yamm nasfa

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

إِنَّمَا إِلَـٰهُكُمُ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لَا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا

innama ilahukum Allah alladhi la ilaha illa huwa wasi'a kulla shay'in 'ilman

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

كَذَٰلِكَ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَنبَاءِ مَا قَدْ سَبَقَ ۚ وَقَدْ آتَيْنَاكَ مِن لَّدُنَّا ذِكْرًا

kadhaliqa naqussu 'alayka min anba'i ma qad sabaqa wa-qad ataynaka min ladunna dhikra

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

مَّنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَحْمِلُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وِزْرًا

man a'rada 'anhu fa-innahu yahmilu yawm al-qiyamah wizran

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

خَالِدِينَ فِيهِ ۖ وَسَاءَ لَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حِمْلًا

khalidin fihi wa-sa'a lahum yawm al-qiyamah himlan

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

يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ ۚ وَنَحْشُرُ الْمُجْرِمِينَ يَوْمَئِذٍ زُرْقًا

yawma yunfakh fi as-sur wa-nahshur al-mujrimin yawma'idhin zurqa

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

يَتَخَافَتُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا عَشْرًا

yatakhafatun baynahum in labithtum illa 'ashran

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

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

nahnu a'lamu bima yaqulun idh yaqul amthaluhum tariqatan in labithtum illa yawma

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

وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْجِبَالِ فَقُلْ يَنسِفُهَا رَبِّي نَسْفًا

wa-yas'alunak 'an al-jibal fa-qul yansifuha rabbi nasfa

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

فَيَذَرُهَا قَاعًا صَفْصَفًا

fa-yadharuha qa'an safasafan

And He will leave the earth a level plain;

لَّا تَرَىٰ فِيهَا عِوَجًا وَلَا أَمْتًا

la tara fiha 'iwaj wa-la amt

You will not see therein a depression or an elevation."

يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَّبِعُونَ الدَّاعِيَ لَا عِوَجَ لَهُ ۖ وَخَشَعَتِ الْأَصْوَاتُ لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ فَلَا تَسْمَعُ إِلَّا هَمْسًا

yawma'idhin yattabi'una ad-da'iya la 'iwaja lahu wa-khasha'at al-aswatu lil-rahman fa-la tasma'u illa hamsa

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

يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا تَنفَعُ الشَّفَاعَةُ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَرَضِيَ لَهُ قَوْلًا

yawma'idhin la tanfa' ash-shafa'atu illa man adhina lahu ar-rahman wa-radiya lahu qawlan

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

يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِهِ عِلْمًا

ya'lamu ma bayna aydihim wa-ma khalfahum wa-la yuhituna bihi 'ilma

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

وَعَنَتِ الْوُجُوهُ لِلْحَيِّ الْقَيُّومِ ۖ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنْ حَمَلَ ظُلْمًا

wa-'anat al-wujuh lil-hayy al-qayyum wa-qad khaba man hamala zulma

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

وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِنَ الصَّالِحَاتِ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَا يَخَافُ ظُلْمًا وَلَا هَضْمًا

wa-man ya'mal min as-salihat wa-huwa mu'min fala yakhaf zulman wa-laha hadman

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

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَنزَلْنَاهُ قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا وَصَرَّفْنَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْوَعِيدِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ أَوْ يُحْدِثُ لَهُمْ ذِكْرًا

wa-kadhalika anzalnahu qur'anan 'arabiyyan wa-sarrafna fihi min al-wa'id la'allahum yattaqun aw yuhdith lahum dhikr

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

فَتَعَالَى اللَّهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ ۗ وَلَا تَعْجَلْ بِالْقُرْآنِ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يُقْضَىٰ إِلَيْكَ وَحْيُهُ ۖ وَقُل رَّبِّ زِدْنِي عِلْمًا

fa-ta'ala Allah al-malik al-haqq wa-la ta'jal bil-qur'an min qabl an yuqda ilayka wahyuh wa-qul rabb zidni 'ilma

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

وَلَقَدْ عَهِدْنَا إِلَىٰ آدَمَ مِن قَبْلُ فَنَسِيَ وَلَمْ نَجِدْ لَهُ عَزْمًا

wa-laqad 'ahidna ila Adam min qablu fa-nasiya wa-lam najid lahu 'azm

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

وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لِآدَمَ فَسَجَدُوا إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰ

wa-idh qulna lil-mala'ikati asjudu li-adama fa-sajadu illa iblisa aba

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

فَقُلْنَا يَا آدَمُ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا عَدُوٌّ لَّكَ وَلِزَوْجِكَ فَلَا يُخْرِجَنَّكُمَا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ فَتَشْقَىٰ

fa-qulna ya Adam inna hadha 'aduw lak wa-li-zawjik fa-la yukhrijannakuma min al-jannah fa-tashqa

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

إِنَّ لَكَ أَلَّا تَجُوعَ فِيهَا وَلَا تَعْرَىٰ

inna laka alla tajuu'a fiha wala ta'ra

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

وَأَنَّكَ لَا تَظْمَأُ فِيهَا وَلَا تَضْحَىٰ

wa-annaka la tazma'u fiha wala tadha

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

فَوَسْوَسَ إِلَيْهِ الشَّيْطَانُ قَالَ يَا آدَمُ هَلْ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَىٰ شَجَرَةِ الْخُلْدِ وَمُلْكٍ لَّا يَبْلَىٰ

fa-waswasa ilayh ash-shaytan qala ya adamu hal adulluka 'ala shajarati al-khuld wa-mulk la yabla

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

فَأَكَلَا مِنْهَا فَبَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْآتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخْصِفَانِ عَلَيْهِمَا مِن وَرَقِ الْجَنَّةِ ۚ وَعَصَىٰ آدَمُ رَبَّهُ فَغَوَىٰ

fa-akala minha fa-badat lahuma saw'atuhuma wa-tafiqa yakhcifani 'alayhima min waraq al-jannah wa-'asa Adamu rabbahu fa-ghawa

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

ثُمَّ اجْتَبَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيْهِ وَهَدَىٰ

thumma jtabahu rabbuhu fataba 'alayhi wahada

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

قَالَ اهْبِطَا مِنْهَا جَمِيعًا ۖ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ ۖ فَإِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُم مِّنِّي هُدًى فَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ هُدَايَ فَلَا يَضِلُّ وَلَا يَشْقَىٰ

qala ihbita minha jami'an ba'ddukum li-ba'din 'aduwun fa-imma ya'tiyannakum minni hudan fa-mani ittaba'a hudaya fa-la yadillu wa-la yashqa

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

وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَىٰ

wa man a'rada 'an dhikri fa-inna lahu ma'ishatan dank-an wa-nahshuruhu yawm al-qiyamah a'ma

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

قَالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرْتَنِي أَعْمَىٰ وَقَدْ كُنتُ بَصِيرًا

qala rabbi lima hashartani a'ma wa-qad kuntu basir

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

قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ أَتَتْكَ آيَاتُنَا فَنَسِيتَهَا ۖ وَكَذَٰلِكَ الْيَوْمَ تُنسَىٰ

qala kadhalika atatka ayatuna fa-nasitaha wa-kadhalika al-yawm tansa

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

وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي مَنْ أَسْرَفَ وَلَمْ يُؤْمِن بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِ ۚ وَلَعَذَابُ الْآخِرَةِ أَشَدُّ وَأَبْقَىٰ

wa-kadhalika najzi man asrafa wa-lam yu'min bi-ayat rabbih wa-la'adhab al-akhirah ashadd wa-abqa

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

أَفَلَمْ يَهْدِ لَهُمْ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّنَ الْقُرُونِ يَمْشُونَ فِي مَسَاكِنِهِمْ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّأُولِي النُّهَىٰ

afalam yahdi lahum kam ahlakna qablahum mina al-qurun yamshuna fi masakinihim inna fi dhalika la-ayatin li-uli an-nuha

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

وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَكَانَ لِزَامًا وَأَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّى

wa lawla kalimatun sabaqat min rabbik la-kana lizam wa ajalun musamman

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

فَاصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا ۖ وَمِنْ آنَاءِ اللَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْ وَأَطْرَافَ النَّهَارِ لَعَلَّكَ تَرْضَىٰ

fa-sbir 'ala ma yaqulun wa-sabbih bi-hamd rabbak qabla tulugh ash-shams wa-qabla ghurubuha wa-min ana' al-layl fa-sabbih wa-atraf an-nahar la'allak tarda

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

وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِ أَزْوَاجًا مِّنْهُمْ زَهْرَةَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ ۚ وَرِزْقُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ

wala tamuddanna 'aynayka ila ma matta'na bihi azwajan minhum zahrat al-hayat ad-dunya linaftinahum fih wa-rizq rabbika khayr wa-abqa

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

وَأْمُرْ أَهْلَكَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَاصْطَبِرْ عَلَيْهَا ۖ لَا نَسْأَلُكَ رِزْقًا ۖ نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُكَ ۗ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ

wa'mur ahlak bi-as-salat wa-sbir 'alayha la nas'aluk rizq nahnu narzukuk wal-'aqibah lil-taqwa

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

وَقَالُوا لَوْلَا يَأْتِينَا بِآيَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِ ۚ أَوَلَمْ تَأْتِهِم بَيِّنَةُ مَا فِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ

wa-qalu lawla ya'tina bi-ayah min rabbih awa-lam ta'tihim bayyinat al-suhuf al-ula

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

وَلَوْ أَنَّا أَهْلَكْنَاهُم بِعَذَابٍ مِّن قَبْلِهِ لَقَالُوا رَبَّنَا لَوْلَا أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولًا فَنَتَّبِعَ آيَاتِكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن نَّذِلَّ وَنَخْزَىٰ

wa-law anna ahlaknahum bi-'adhabin min qablihi la-qalu rabbana lawla arsalta ilayna rasulan fa-nattabi'a ayatika min qabli an nadhilla wa-nakhza

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

قُلْ كُلٌّ مُّتَرَبِّصٌ فَتَرَبَّصُوا ۖ فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَصْحَابُ الصِّرَاطِ السَّوِيِّ وَمَنِ اهْتَدَىٰ

qul kullun mutarabbisun fa-tarabbasu fa-sata'lamuna man ashab as-sirat as-sawiyyi wa-man ihtada

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