طٰهٰ(1)

Ṭā, Hā. (1)

مَاۤ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَیْكَ الْقُرْاٰنَ لِتَشْقٰۤى(2)

We have not sent down to you the Qur'an that you be distressed (2)

اِلَّا تَذْكِرَةً لِّمَنْ یَّخْشٰى(3)

But only as a reminder for those who fear [Allah]. (3)

تَنْزِیْلًا مِّمَّنْ خَلَقَ الْاَرْضَ وَ السَّمٰوٰتِ الْعُلٰىﭤ(4)

[It is] a revelation from He who created the earth and the highest heavens, (4)

اَلرَّحْمٰنُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ اسْتَوٰى(5)

The Most Merciful [who is] above the Throne established. (5)

لَهٗ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ مَا فِی الْاَرْضِ وَ مَا بَیْنَهُمَا وَ مَا تَحْتَ الثَّرٰى(6)

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. (6)

وَ اِنْ تَجْهَرْ بِالْقَوْلِ فَاِنَّهٗ یَعْلَمُ السِّرَّ وَ اَخْفٰى(7)

And if you speak aloud, indeed, He knows what is secret and what is [even] more hidden. (7)

اَللّٰهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَؕ-لَهُ الْاَسْمَآءُ الْحُسْنٰى(8)

Allah - there is no deity except Him. To Him belong the best names. (8)

وَ هَلْ اَتٰىكَ حَدِیْثُ مُوْسٰىﭥ(9)

And has there come to you the story of Moses? (9)

اِذْ رَاٰ نَارًا فَقَالَ لِاَهْلِهِ امْكُثُوْۤا اِنِّیْۤ اٰنَسْتُ نَارًا لَّعَلِّیْۤ اٰتِیْكُمْ مِّنْهَا بِقَبَسٍ اَوْ اَجِدُ عَلَى النَّارِ هُدًى(10)

When he saw a fire and said to his family, "Stay [here]; indeed, I have perceived a fire; perhaps I can bring you from it a burning ember or find at the fire [some] guidance." (10)

فَلَمَّاۤ اَتٰىهَا نُوْدِیَ یٰمُوْسٰىﭤ(11)

And when he came to it, he was called, "O Moses, (11)

اِنِّیْۤ اَنَا رَبُّكَ فَاخْلَعْ نَعْلَیْكَۚ-اِنَّكَ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًىﭤ(12)

Indeed, I am your Lord, so remove your sandals. Indeed, you are in the sacred valley of Ṭuwā. (12)

وَ اَنَا اخْتَرْتُكَ فَاسْتَمِـعْ لِمَا یُوْحٰى(13)

And I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed [to you]. (13)

اِنَّنِیْۤ اَنَا اللّٰهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّاۤ اَنَا فَاعْبُدْنِیْۙ-وَ اَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَ لِذِكْرِیْ(14)

Indeed, I am Allah. There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance. (14)

اِنَّ السَّاعَةَ اٰتِیَةٌ اَكَادُ اُخْفِیْهَا لِتُجْزٰى كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا تَسْعٰى(15)

Indeed, the Hour is coming - I almost conceal it - so that every soul may be recompensed according to that for which it strives. (15)

فَلَا یَصُدَّنَّكَ عَنْهَا مَنْ لَّا یُؤْمِنُ بِهَا وَ اتَّبَعَ هَوٰىهُ فَتَرْدٰى(16)

So do not let one avert you from it who does not believe in it and follows his desire, lest you perish. (16)

وَ مَا تِلْكَ بِیَمِیْنِكَ یٰمُوْسٰى(17)

And what is that in your right hand, O Moses?" (17)

قَالَ هِیَ عَصَایَۚ-اَتَوَكَّؤُا عَلَیْهَا وَ اَهُشُّ بِهَا عَلٰى غَنَمِیْ وَ لِیَ فِیْهَا مَاٰرِبُ اُخْرٰى(18)

He said, "It is my staff; I lean upon it, and with it I strike down [leaves] for my sheep, and for me therein are other uses." (18)

قَالَ اَلْقِهَا یٰمُوْسٰى(19)

[Allah] said, "Throw it down, O Moses." (19)

فَاَلْقٰىهَا فَاِذَا هِیَ حَیَّةٌ تَسْعٰى(20)

So he threw it down, and thereupon it was a snake, moving swiftly. (20)

قَالَ خُذْهَا وَ لَا تَخَفْٙ-سَنُعِیْدُهَا سِیْرَتَهَا الْاُوْلٰى(21)

[Allah] said, "Seize it and fear not; We will return it to its former condition. (21)

وَ اضْمُمْ یَدَكَ اِلٰى جَنَاحِكَ تَخْرُ جْ بَیْضَآءَ مِنْ غَیْرِ سُوْٓءٍ اٰیَةً اُخْرٰى(22)

And draw in your hand to your side; it will come out white without disease - another sign, (22)

لِنُرِیَكَ مِنْ اٰیٰتِنَا الْكُبْرٰى(23)

That We may show you [some] of Our greater signs. (23)

اِذْهَبْ اِلٰى فِرْعَوْنَ اِنَّهٗ طَغٰى(24)

Go to Pharaoh; indeed, he has transgressed. (24)

قَالَ رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِیْ صَدْرِیْ(25)

[Moses] said, "My Lord, expand for me my breast [with assurance] (25)

وَ یَسِّرْ لِیْۤ اَمْرِیْ(26)

And ease for me my task (26)

وَ احْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِّنْ لِّسَانِیْ(27)

And untie the knot from my tongue (27)

یَفْقَهُوْا قَوْلِیْ(28)

That they may understand my speech. (28)

وَ اجْعَلْ لِّیْ وَزِیْرًا مِّنْ اَهْلِیْ(29)

And appoint for me a helper from my family - (29)

هٰرُوْنَ اَخِی(30)

Aaron, my brother. (30)

اشْدُدْ بِهٖۤ اَزْرِیْ(31)

Increase through him my strength (31)

وَ اَشْرِكْهُ فِیْۤ اَمْرِیْ(32)

And let him share in my task (32)

كَیْ نُسَبِّحَكَ كَثِیْرًا(33)

That we may exalt You much (33)

وَّ نَذْكُرَكَ كَثِیْرًاﭤ(34)

And remember You much. (34)

اِنَّكَ كُنْتَ بِنَا بَصِیْرًا(35)

Indeed, You have ever been of us seeing." (35)

قَالَ قَدْ اُوْتِیْتَ سُؤْلَكَ یٰمُوْسٰى(36)

[Allah] said, "You have been granted your request, O Moses. (36)

وَ لَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَیْكَ مَرَّةً اُخْرٰۤى(37)

And We had already conferred favor upon you another time, (37)

اِذْ اَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلٰۤى اُمِّكَ مَا یُوْحٰۤى(38)

When We inspired to your mother what was inspired, (38)

اَنِ اقْذِفِیْهِ فِی التَّابُوْتِ فَاقْذِفِیْهِ فِی الْیَمِّ فَلْیُلْقِهِ الْیَمُّ بِالسَّاحِلِ یَاْخُذْهُ عَدُوٌّ لِّیْ وَ عَدُوٌّ لَّهٗؕ-وَ اَلْقَیْتُ عَلَیْكَ مَحَبَّةً مِّنِّیْ ﳛ وَ لِتُصْنَعَ عَلٰى عَیْنِیْﭥ(39)

[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 cast upon you love from Me, and [I did it] that you would be brought up under My eye. (39)

اِذْ تَمْشِیْۤ اُخْتُكَ فَتَقُوْلُ هَلْ اَدُلُّكُمْ عَلٰى مَنْ یَّكْفُلُهٗؕ-فَرَجَعْنٰكَ اِلٰۤى اُمِّكَ كَیْ تَقَرَّ عَیْنُهَا وَ لَا تَحْزَنَ۬ؕ-وَ قَتَلْتَ نَفْسًا فَنَجَّیْنٰكَ مِنَ الْغَمِّ وَ فَتَنّٰكَ فُتُوْنًا ﲕ فَلَبِثْتَ سِنِیْنَ فِیْۤ اَهْلِ مَدْیَنَ ﳔ ثُمَّ جِئْتَ عَلٰى قَدَرٍ یّٰمُوْسٰى(40)

[And We inspired your mother] 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 her eye might be pleased and she would not grieve. And you killed a man, but We saved you from retaliation and tested you with a [severe] testing. And you remained for years among the people of Madyan; then you came [here] at the appointed time, O Moses. (40)

وَ اصْطَنَعْتُكَ لِنَفْسِیْ(41)

And I have chosen you for Myself. (41)

اِذْهَبْ اَنْتَ وَ اَخُوْكَ بِاٰیٰتِیْ وَ لَا تَنِیَا فِیْ ذِكْرِیْ(42)

Go, you and your brother, with My signs and do not slacken in My remembrance. (42)

اِذْهَبَاۤ اِلٰى فِرْعَوْنَ اِنَّهٗ طَغٰى(43)

Go, both of you, to Pharaoh, for indeed he has transgressed. (43)

فَقُوْلَا لَهٗ قَوْلًا لَّیِّنًا لَّعَلَّهٗ یَتَذَكَّرُ اَوْ یَخْشٰى(44)

And speak to him with gentle speech that perhaps he may be reminded or fear [Allah]. (44)

قَالَا رَبَّنَاۤ اِنَّنَا نَخَافُ اَنْ یَّفْرُطَ عَلَیْنَاۤ اَوْ اَنْ یَّطْغٰى(45)

They said, "Our Lord, indeed we fear that he will hasten [punishment] against us or that he will transgress." (45)

قَالَ لَا تَخَافَاۤ اِنَّنِیْ مَعَكُمَاۤ اَسْمَعُ وَ اَرٰى(46)

[Allah] said, "Fear not. Indeed, I am with you both; I hear and I see. (46)

فَاْتِیٰهُ فَقُوْلَاۤ اِنَّا رَسُوْلَا رَبِّكَ فَاَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ ﳔ وَ لَا تُعَذِّبْهُمْؕ-قَدْ جِئْنٰكَ بِاٰیَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّكَؕ-وَ السَّلٰمُ عَلٰى مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الْهُدٰى(47)

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. (47)

اِنَّا قَدْ اُوْحِیَ اِلَیْنَاۤ اَنَّ الْعَذَابَ عَلٰى مَنْ كَذَّبَ وَ تَوَلّٰى(48)

Indeed, it has been revealed to us that the punishment will be upon whoever denies and turns away.'" (48)

قَالَ فَمَنْ رَّبُّكُمَا یٰمُوْسٰى(49)

[Pharaoh] said, "So who is the Lord of you two, O Moses?" (49)

قَالَ رَبُّنَا الَّذِیْۤ اَعْطٰى كُلَّ شَیْءٍ خَلْقَهٗ ثُمَّ هَدٰى(50)

He said, "Our Lord is He who gave to each thing its form and nature, then guided [it]." (50)

قَالَ فَمَا بَالُ الْقُرُوْنِ الْاُوْلٰى(51)

[Pharaoh] said, "Then what is the case of the former generations?" (51)

قَالَ عِلْمُهَا عِنْدَ رَبِّیْ فِیْ كِتٰبٍۚ-لَا یَضِلُّ رَبِّیْ وَ لَا یَنْسَى(52)

[Moses] said, "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a record. My Lord neither errs nor forgets." (52)

الَّذِیْ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْاَرْضَ مَهْدًا وَّ سَلَكَ لَكُمْ فِیْهَا سُبُلًا وَّ اَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءًؕ-فَاَخْرَجْنَا بِهٖۤ اَزْوَاجًا مِّنْ نَّبَاتٍ شَتّٰى(53)

[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 water. And We have brought forth thereby pairs of different kinds of plants. (53)

كُلُوْا وَ ارْعَوْا اَنْعَامَكُمْؕ-اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّاُولِی النُّهٰى(54)

Eat [therefrom] and pasture your livestock. Indeed, in that are signs for those of intelligence. (54)

مِنْهَا خَلَقْنٰكُمْ وَ فِیْهَا نُعِیْدُكُمْ وَ مِنْهَا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تَارَةً اُخْرٰى(55)

From the earth We created you, and into it We will return you, and from it We will bring you out another time. (55)

وَ لَقَدْ اَرَیْنٰهُ اٰیٰتِنَا كُلَّهَا فَكَذَّبَ وَ اَبٰى(56)

And We certainly showed Pharaoh Our signs - all of them - but he denied and refused. (56)

قَالَ اَجِئْتَنَا لِتُخْرِجَنَا مِنْ اَرْضِنَا بِسِحْرِكَ یٰمُوْسٰى(57)

He said, "Have you come to us to drive us out of our land with your magic, O Moses? (57)

فَلَنَاْتِیَنَّكَ بِسِحْرٍ مِّثْلِهٖ فَاجْعَلْ بَیْنَنَا وَ بَیْنَكَ مَوْعِدًا لَّا نُخْلِفُهٗ نَحْنُ وَ لَاۤ اَنْتَ مَكَانًا سُوًى(58)

Then we will surely bring you magic like it, so make between us and you an appointment, in a place level [for both parties], which we will not fail, neither we nor you." (58)

قَالَ مَوْعِدُكُمْ یَوْمُ الزِّیْنَةِ وَ اَنْ یُّحْشَرَ النَّاسُ ضُحًى(59)

[Moses] said, "Your appointment is the day of the festival, and [that] the people be gathered at mid-morning." (59)

فَتَوَلّٰى فِرْعَوْنُ فَجَمَعَ كَیْدَهٗ ثُمَّ اَتٰى(60)

So Pharaoh went away, gathered his plot, and then came [at the appointed time]. (60)

قَالَ لَهُمْ مُّوْسٰى وَیْلَكُمْ لَا تَفْتَرُوْا عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا فَیُسْحِتَكُمْ بِعَذَابٍۚ-وَ قَدْ خَابَ مَنِ افْتَرٰى(61)

Moses said to them, "Woe to you! Do not invent a lie against Allah, lest He destroy you with a punishment; and he has failed who invents [such falsehood]." (61)

فَتَنَازَعُوْۤا اَمْرَهُمْ بَیْنَهُمْ وَ اَسَرُّوا النَّجْوٰى(62)

So they disputed over their affair among themselves and concealed their private conversation. (62)

قَالُـوْۤا اِنْ هٰذٰىنِ لَسٰحِرٰنِ یُرِیْدٰنِ اَنْ یُّخْرِجٰكُمْ مِّنْ اَرْضِكُمْ بِسِحْرِهِمَا وَ یَذْهَبَا بِطَرِیْقَتِكُمُ الْمُثْلٰى(63)

They said, "Indeed, these are two magicians who want to drive you out of your land with their magic and do away with your superior way [of life]. (63)

فَاَجْمِعُوْا كَیْدَكُمْ ثُمَّ ائْتُوْا صَفًّاۚ-وَ قَدْ اَفْلَحَ الْیَوْمَ مَنِ اسْتَعْلٰى(64)

So gather your plot; then come [in] ranks. And whoever overcomes today will have succeeded." (64)

قَالُوْا یٰمُوْسٰۤى اِمَّاۤ اَنْ تُلْقِیَ وَ اِمَّاۤ اَنْ نَّكُوْنَ اَوَّلَ مَنْ اَلْقٰى(65)

They said, "O Moses, either you throw [your staff], or we will be the first to throw." (65)

قَالَ بَلْ اَلْقُوْاۚ-فَاِذَا حِبَالُهُمْ وَ عِصِیُّهُمْ یُخَیَّلُ اِلَیْهِ مِنْ سِحْرِهِمْ اَنَّهَا تَسْعٰى(66)

He said, "Rather, you throw." And suddenly their ropes and their staffs seemed to him from their magic that they were moving [like snakes]. (66)

فَاَوْجَسَ فِیْ نَفْسِهٖ خِیْفَةً مُّوْسٰى(67)

So Moses conceived within himself fear. (67)

قُلْنَا لَا تَخَفْ اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْاَعْلٰى(68)

[Allah] said, "Fear not; indeed, you will be superior. (68)

وَ اَلْقِ مَا فِیْ یَمِیْنِكَ تَلْقَفْ مَا صَنَعُوْاؕ-اِنَّمَا صَنَعُوْا كَیْدُ سٰحِرٍؕ-وَ لَا یُفْلِحُ السَّاحِرُ حَیْثُ اَتٰى(69)

And throw what is in your right hand; it will swallow up what they have crafted. Indeed, what they have crafted is but the trickery of a magician, and the magician will not succeed wherever he is." (69)

فَاُلْقِیَ السَّحَرَةُ سُجَّدًا قَالُـوْۤا اٰمَنَّا بِرَبِّ هٰرُوْنَ وَ مُوْسٰى(70)

So the magicians fell down prostrating. They said, "We have believed in the Lord of Aaron and Moses." (70)

قَالَ اٰمَنْتُمْ لَهٗ قَبْلَ اَنْ اٰذَنَ لَكُمْؕ-اِنَّهٗ لَكَبِیْرُكُمُ الَّذِیْ عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَۚ-فَلَاُقَطِّعَنَّ اَیْدِیَكُمْ وَ اَرْجُلَكُمْ مِّنْ خِلَافٍ وَّ لَاُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ فِیْ جُذُوْعِ النَّخْلِ٘-وَ لَتَعْلَمُنَّ اَیُّنَاۤ اَشَدُّ عَذَابًا وَّ اَبْقٰى(71)

[Pharaoh] said, "You believed in 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 surely crucify you on the trunks of palm trees, and you will surely know which of us is more severe in punishment and more lasting." (71)

قَالُوْا لَنْ نُّؤْثِرَكَ عَلٰى مَا جَآءَنَا مِنَ الْبَیِّنٰتِ وَ الَّذِیْ فَطَرَنَا فَاقْضِ مَاۤ اَنْتَ قَاضٍؕ-اِنَّمَا تَقْضِیْ هٰذِهِ الْحَیٰوةَ الدُّنْیَاﭤ(72)

They said, "We will never prefer you over what has come to us of clear proofs and [over] He who created us. So decree whatever you are to decree; indeed, you can only decree for this worldly life. (72)

اِنَّاۤ اٰمَنَّا بِرَبِّنَا لِیَغْفِرَ لَنَا خَطٰیٰنَا وَ مَاۤ اَكْرَهْتَنَا عَلَیْهِ مِنَ السِّحْرِؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ خَیْرٌ وَّ اَبْقٰى(73)

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 lasting." (73)

اِنَّهٗ مَنْ یَّاْتِ رَبَّهٗ مُجْرِمًا فَاِنَّ لَهٗ جَهَنَّمَؕ-لَا یَمُوْتُ فِیْهَا وَ لَا یَحْیٰى(74)

Indeed, whoever comes to his Lord as a criminal - indeed, for him is Hell; he will neither die therein nor live. (74)

وَ مَنْ یَّاْتِهٖ مُؤْمِنًا قَدْ عَمِلَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ لَهُمُ الدَّرَجٰتُ الْعُلٰى(75)

But whoever comes to Him as a believer having done righteous deeds - for those will be the highest ranks: (75)

جَنّٰتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَاؕ-وَ ذٰلِكَ جَزٰٓؤُا مَنْ تَزَكّٰى(76)

[For them are] gardens of perpetual residence beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide eternally. And that is the reward of whoever purifies himself. (76)

وَ لَقَدْ اَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلٰى مُوْسٰۤى ﳔ اَنْ اَسْرِ بِعِبَادِیْ فَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ طَرِیْقًا فِی الْبَحْرِ یَبَسًاۙ-لَّا تَخٰفُ دَرَكًا وَّ لَا تَخْشٰى(77)

And We had inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants and strike for them a dry path through the sea; you need not fear being overtaken [by Pharaoh] or be afraid [of drowning]." (77)

فَاَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ بِجُنُوْدِهٖ فَغَشِیَهُمْ مِّنَ الْیَمِّ مَا غَشِیَهُمْﭤ(78)

So Pharaoh pursued them with his soldiers, and there covered them from the sea what covered them. (78)

وَ اَضَلَّ فِرْعَوْنُ قَوْمَهٗ وَ مَا هَدٰى(79)

And Pharaoh led his people astray and did not guide [them]. (79)

یٰبَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ قَدْ اَنْجَیْنٰكُمْ مِّنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ وَ وٰعَدْنٰكُمْ جَانِبَ الطُّوْرِ الْاَیْمَنَ وَ نَزَّلْنَا عَلَیْكُمُ الْمَنَّ وَ السَّلْوٰى(80)

O Children of Israel, We did save you from your enemy, and We made an appointment with you at the right side of the mount and sent down to you manna and quails. (80)

كُلُوْا مِنْ طَیِّبٰتِ مَا رَزَقْنٰكُمْ وَ لَا تَطْغَوْا فِیْهِ فَیَحِلَّ عَلَیْكُمْ غَضَبِیْۚ-وَ مَنْ یَّحْلِلْ عَلَیْهِ غَضَبِیْ فَقَدْ هَوٰى(81)

[Saying], "Eat from the good things with which We have provided you and do not transgress [or oppress] therein, lest My anger should descend upon you. And whoever My anger descends upon has certainly fallen. (81)

وَ اِنِّیْ لَغَفَّارٌ لِّمَنْ تَابَ وَ اٰمَنَ وَ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا ثُمَّ اهْتَدٰى(82)

But indeed, I am the Perpetual Forgiver of whoever repents and believes and does righteousness and then continues in guidance. (82)

وَ مَاۤ اَعْجَلَكَ عَنْ قَوْمِكَ یٰمُوْسٰى(83)

[Allah said], "And what made you hasten from your people, O Moses?" (83)

قَالَ هُمْ اُولَآءِ عَلٰۤى اَثَرِیْ وَ عَجِلْتُ اِلَیْكَ رَبِّ لِتَرْضٰى(84)

He said, "They are close behind me, and I hastened to You, my Lord, that You might be pleased." (84)

قَالَ فَاِنَّا قَدْ فَتَنَّا قَوْمَكَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِكَ وَ اَضَلَّهُمُ السَّامِرِیُّ(85)

[Allah] said, "But indeed, We have tried your people after you [left], and the Samiri has led them astray." (85)

فَرَجَعَ مُوْسٰۤى اِلٰى قَوْمِهٖ غَضْبَانَ اَسِفًا ﳛ قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اَلَمْ یَعِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ وَعْدًا حَسَنًا۬ؕ-اَفَطَالَ عَلَیْكُمُ الْعَهْدُ اَمْ اَرَدْتُّمْ اَنْ یَّحِلَّ عَلَیْكُمْ غَضَبٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ فَاَخْلَفْتُمْ مَّوْعِدِیْ(86)

So Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved. He said, "O my people, did your Lord not promise you a good promise? Then was the time [of its fulfillment] too long for you, or did you intend that wrath from your Lord should descend upon you, so you broke your promise [to me]?" (86)

قَالُوْا مَاۤ اَخْلَفْنَا مَوْعِدَكَ بِمَلْكِنَا وَ لٰكِنَّا حُمِّلْنَاۤ اَوْزَارًا مِّنْ زِیْنَةِ الْقَوْمِ فَقَذَفْنٰهَا فَكَذٰلِكَ اَلْقَى السَّامِرِیُّ(87)

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 [Pharaoh's] people, so we threw them [into the fire], and thus did the Samiri throw." (87)

فَاَخْرَ جَ لَهُمْ عِجْلًا جَسَدًا لَّهٗ خُوَارٌ فَقَالُوْا هٰذَاۤ اِلٰهُكُمْ وَ اِلٰهُ مُوْسٰى۬-فَنَسِیَﭤ(88)

So he brought out for them a calf - a body [having the sound] of a lowing. And they said, "This is your god and the god of Moses, but he forgot." (88)

اَفَلَا یَرَوْنَ اَلَّا یَرْجِـعُ اِلَیْهِمْ قَوْلًا ﳔ وَّ لَا یَمْلِكُ لَهُمْ ضَرًّا وَّ لَا نَفْعًا(89)

Did they not see that it could not return to them any speech and that it did not possess for them any harm or any benefit? (89)

وَ لَقَدْ قَالَ لَهُمْ هٰرُوْنُ مِنْ قَبْلُ یٰقَوْمِ اِنَّمَا فُتِنْتُمْ بِهٖۚ-وَ اِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ الرَّحْمٰنُ فَاتَّبِعُوْنِیْ وَ اَطِیْعُوْۤا اَمْرِیْ(90)

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 command." (90)

قَالُوْا لَنْ نَّبْرَحَ عَلَیْهِ عٰكِفِیْنَ حَتّٰى یَرْجِـعَ اِلَیْنَا مُوْسٰى(91)

They said, "We will never cease being devoted to it until Moses returns to us." (91)

قَالَ یٰهٰرُوْنُ مَا مَنَعَكَ اِذْ رَاَیْتَهُمْ ضَلُّوْا(92)

[Moses] said, "O Aaron, what prevented you, when you saw them go astray, (92)

اَلَّا تَتَّبِعَنِؕ-اَفَعَصَیْتَ اَمْرِیْ(93)

From following me? Have you then disobeyed my order?" (93)

قَالَ یَبْنَؤُمَّ لَا تَاْخُذْ بِلِحْیَتِیْ وَ لَا بِرَاْسِیْۚ-اِنِّیْ خَشِیْتُ اَنْ تَقُوْلَ فَرَّقْتَ بَیْنَ بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ وَ لَمْ تَرْقُبْ قَوْلِیْ(94)

[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 have caused division among the Children of Israel, and you did not observe my word.'" (94)

قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكَ یٰسَامِرِیُّ(95)

[Moses] said, "And what is your case, O Samiri?" (95)

قَالَ بَصُرْتُ بِمَا لَمْ یَبْصُرُوْا بِهٖ فَقَبَضْتُ قَبْضَةً مِّنْ اَثَرِ الرَّسُوْلِ فَنَبَذْتُهَا وَ كَذٰلِكَ سَوَّلَتْ لِیْ نَفْسِیْ(96)

He said, "I saw what they did not see, so I took a handful [of dust] from the footprint of the messenger and threw it [into the molten gold], and thus did my soul entice me." (96)

قَالَ فَاذْهَبْ فَاِنَّ لَكَ فِی الْحَیٰوةِ اَنْ تَقُوْلَ لَا مِسَاسَ۪-وَ اِنَّ لَكَ مَوْعِدًا لَّنْ تُخْلَفَهٗۚ-وَ انْظُرْ اِلٰۤى اِلٰهِكَ الَّذِیْ ظَلْتَ عَلَیْهِ عَاكِفًاؕ-لَنُحَرِّقَنَّهٗ ثُمَّ لَنَنْسِفَنَّهٗ فِی الْیَمِّ نَسْفًا(97)

[Moses] said, "Then go. Indeed, it is [decreed] for you in [this] life to say, 'No contact.' And indeed, you have an appointment [in the Hereafter] that will not be failed. And look at your god to which you remained devoted. We will surely burn it and then scatter it into the sea with a [thorough] scattering. (97)

اِنَّمَاۤ اِلٰهُكُمُ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَؕ-وَسِعَ كُلَّ شَیْءٍ عِلْمًا(98)

Your god is only Allah, other than whom there is no deity. He has encompassed all things in knowledge." (98)

كَذٰلِكَ نَقُصُّ عَلَیْكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَآءِ مَا قَدْ سَبَقَۚ-وَ قَدْ اٰتَیْنٰكَ مِنْ لَّدُنَّا ذِكْرًا(99)

Thus, [O Muhammad], We relate to you accounts of what preceded. And We have certainly given you from Us a reminder. (99)

مَنْ اَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ فَاِنَّهٗ یَحْمِلُ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ وِزْرًا(100)

Whoever turns away from it - then indeed, he will bear on the Day of Resurrection a burden, (100)

خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهِؕ-وَ سَآءَ لَهُمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ حِمْلًا(101)

یَّوْمَ یُنْفَخُ فِی الصُّوْرِ وَ نَحْشُرُ الْمُجْرِمِیْنَ یَوْمَىٕذٍ زُرْقًا(102)

The Day the Horn will be blown. And We will gather the criminals that Day, blue-eyed. (102)

یَّتَخَافَتُوْنَ بَیْنَهُمْ اِنْ لَّبِثْتُمْ اِلَّا عَشْرًا(103)

نَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا یَقُوْلُوْنَ اِذْ یَقُوْلُ اَمْثَلُهُمْ طَرِیْقَةً اِنْ لَّبِثْتُمْ اِلَّا یَوْمًا(104)

We are most knowing of what they say when the most exemplary of them in manner will say, "You stayed not but one day." (104)

وَ یَسْــٴَـلُوْنَكَ عَنِ الْجِبَالِ فَقُلْ یَنْسِفُهَا رَبِّیْ نَسْفًا(105)

And they ask you about the mountains, so say, "My Lord will eradicate them with a [thorough] eradication. (105)

فَیَذَرُهَا قَاعًا صَفْصَفًا(106)

لَّا تَرٰى فِیْهَا عِوَجًا وَّ لَاۤ اَمْتًاﭤ(107)

You will not see therein a depression or an elevation." (107)

یَوْمَىٕذٍ یَّتَّبِعُوْنَ الدَّاعِیَ لَا عِوَجَ لَهٗۚ-وَ خَشَعَتِ الْاَصْوَاتُ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ فَلَا تَسْمَعُ اِلَّا هَمْسًا(108)

That Day, they will follow the caller [to judgment]; no deviation will there be for them. And [all] voices will be stilled before the Most Merciful, so you will not hear except a whisper [of footsteps]. (108)

یَوْمَىٕذٍ لَّا تَنْفَعُ الشَّفَاعَةُ اِلَّا مَنْ اَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمٰنُ وَ رَضِیَ لَهٗ قَوْلًا(109)

That Day, no intercession will benefit except [that of] one to whom the Most Merciful has given permission and whose word He has approved. (109)

یَعْلَمُ مَا بَیْنَ اَیْدِیْهِمْ وَ مَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَ لَا یُحِیْطُوْنَ بِهٖ عِلْمًا(110)

He knows what is before them and what is behind them, but they do not encompass Him in knowledge. (110)

وَ عَنَتِ الْوُجُوْهُ لِلْحَیِّ الْقَیُّوْمِؕ-وَ قَدْ خَابَ مَنْ حَمَلَ ظُلْمًا(111)

And [all] faces will be humbled before the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. And he will have failed who carries injustice. (111)

وَ مَنْ یَّعْمَلْ مِنَ الصّٰالِحٰتِ وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَا یَخٰفُ ظُلْمًا وَّ لَا هَضْمًا(112)

But whoever does righteous deeds while he is a believer - then he will not fear injustice or deprivation. (112)

وَ كَذٰلِكَ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ قُرْاٰنًا عَرَبِیًّا وَّ صَرَّفْنَا فِیْهِ مِنَ الْوَعِیْدِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَتَّقُوْنَ اَوْ یُحْدِثُ لَهُمْ ذِكْرًا(113)

And thus We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an and have diversified therein the warnings that perhaps they will fear Allah or that it will produce for them a reminder. (113)

فَتَعٰلَى اللّٰهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّۚ-وَ لَا تَعْجَلْ بِالْقُرْاٰنِ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ یُّقْضٰۤى اِلَیْكَ وَحْیُهٗ٘-وَ قُلْ رَّبِّ زِدْنِیْ عِلْمًا(114)

So high [above all] is Allah, the Sovereign 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." (114)

وَ لَقَدْ عَهِدْنَاۤ اِلٰۤى اٰدَمَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَنَسِیَ وَ لَمْ نَجِدْ لَهٗ عَزْمًا(115)

And We had already taken a covenant from Adam before, but he forgot; and We found not in him determination. (115)

وَ اِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلٰٓىٕكَةِ اسْجُدُوْا لِاٰدَمَ فَسَجَدُوْۤا اِلَّاۤ اِبْلِیْسَؕ-اَبٰى(116)

And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate before Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He refused. (116)

فَقُلْنَا یٰۤاٰدَمُ اِنَّ هٰذَا عَدُوٌّ لَّكَ وَ لِزَوْجِكَ فَلَا یُخْرِجَنَّكُمَا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ فَتَشْقٰى(117)

Then We said, "O Adam, indeed this is an enemy to you and to your wife. So let him not remove you from Paradise lest you suffer. (117)

اِنَّ لَكَ اَلَّا تَجُوْ عَ فِیْهَا وَ لَا تَعْرٰى(118)

Indeed, [it is promised] for you not to be hungry therein or be unclothed. (118)

وَ اَنَّكَ لَا تَظْمَؤُا فِیْهَا وَ لَا تَضْحٰى(119)

And indeed, you will not thirst therein or be exposed to the sun." (119)

فَوَسْوَسَ اِلَیْهِ الشَّیْطٰنُ قَالَ یٰۤاٰدَمُ هَلْ اَدُلُّكَ عَلٰى شَجَرَةِ الْخُلْدِ وَ مُلْكٍ لَّا یَبْلٰى(120)

Then Satan whispered to him; he said, "O Adam, shall I direct you to the tree of eternity and possession that will not decay?" (120)

فَاَكَلَا مِنْهَا فَبَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْاٰتُهُمَا وَ طَفِقَا یَخْصِفٰنِ عَلَیْهِمَا مِنْ وَّرَقِ الْجَنَّةِ٘-وَ عَصٰۤى اٰدَمُ رَبَّهٗ فَغَوٰى(121)

And Adam and his wife ate of it, and their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten together over themselves from the leaves of Paradise. And Adam disobeyed his Lord and erred. (121)

ثُمَّ اجْتَبٰهُ رَبُّهٗ فَتَابَ عَلَیْهِ وَ هَدٰى(122)

Then his Lord chose him and turned to him in forgiveness and guided him. (122)

قَالَ اهْبِطَا مِنْهَا جَمِیْعًۢا بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّۚ-فَاِمَّا یَاْتِیَنَّكُمْ مِّنِّیْ هُدًى ﳔ فَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ هُدَایَ فَلَا یَضِلُّ وَ لَا یَشْقٰى(123)

[Allah] said, "Descend from Paradise, all of you. Some of you are enemies to others. Then if there comes to you guidance from Me, whoever follows My guidance will neither go astray nor suffer. (123)

وَ مَنْ اَعْرَضَ عَنْ ذِكْرِیْ فَاِنَّ لَهٗ مَعِیْشَةً ضَنْكًا وَّ نَحْشُرُهٗ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ اَعْمٰى(124)

And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have a difficult life, and We will gather him on the Day of Resurrection blind." (124)

قَالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرْتَنِیْۤ اَعْمٰى وَ قَدْ كُنْتُ بَصِیْرًا(125)

He will say, "My Lord, why have you raised me blind while I was [formerly] seeing?" (125)

قَالَ كَذٰلِكَ اَتَتْكَ اٰیٰتُنَا فَنَسِیْتَهَاۚ-وَ كَذٰلِكَ الْیَوْمَ تُنْسٰى(126)

[Allah] will say, "Thus did Our signs come to you, and you forgot them; and thus will you this Day be forgotten." (126)

وَ كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِیْ مَنْ اَسْرَفَ وَ لَمْ یُؤْمِنْۢ بِاٰیٰتِ رَبِّهٖؕ-وَ لَعَذَابُ الْاٰخِرَةِ اَشَدُّ وَ اَبْقٰى(127)

And thus do We recompense whoever transgresses and does not believe in the signs of his Lord. And the punishment of the Hereafter is more severe and more enduring. (127)

اَفَلَمْ یَهْدِ لَهُمْ كَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنَ الْقُرُوْنِ یَمْشُوْنَ فِیْ مَسٰكِنِهِمْؕ-اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّاُولِی النُّهٰى(128)

Then has it not become clear to them how many generations We destroyed before them, in whose former dwellings they walk? Indeed in that are signs for those of intelligence. (128)

وَ لَوْ لَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ لَكَانَ لِزَامًا وَّ اَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّىﭤ(129)

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]. (129)

فَاصْبِرْ عَلٰى مَا یَقُوْلُوْنَ وَ سَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوْعِ الشَّمْسِ وَ قَبْلَ غُرُوْبِهَاۚ-وَ مِنْ اٰنَآئِ الَّیْلِ فَسَبِّحْ وَ اَطْرَافَ النَّهَارِ لَعَلَّكَ تَرْضٰى(130)

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. (130)

وَ لَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَیْنَیْكَ اِلٰى مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهٖۤ اَزْوَاجًا مِّنْهُمْ زَهْرَةَ الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا ﳔ لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِیْهِؕ-وَ رِزْقُ رَبِّكَ خَیْرٌ وَّ اَبْقٰى(131)

And do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [certain] categories of them, [its being but] the splendor of worldly life by which We test them. But the provision of your Lord is better and more lasting. (131)

وَ اْمُرْ اَهْلَكَ بِالصَّلٰوةِ وَ اصْطَبِرْ عَلَیْهَاؕ-لَا نَسْــٴَـلُكَ رِزْقًاؕ-نَحْنُ نَرْزُقُكَؕ-وَ الْعَاقِبَةُ لِلتَّقْوٰى(132)

And enjoin prayer upon your family [and people] and be patient therein. We do not ask you for provision; We provide for you. And the [best] outcome is for [those of] righteousness. (132)

وَ قَالُوْا لَوْ لَا یَاْتِیْنَا بِاٰیَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖؕ-اَوَ لَمْ تَاْتِهِمْ بَیِّنَةُ مَا فِی الصُّحُفِ الْاُوْلٰى(133)

And they say, "Why does he not bring us a sign from his Lord?" Has there not come to them clear evidence of what is in the former scriptures? (133)

وَ لَوْ اَنَّاۤ اَهْلَكْنٰهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِهٖ لَقَالُوْا رَبَّنَا لَوْ لَاۤ اَرْسَلْتَ اِلَیْنَا رَسُوْلًا فَنَتَّبِـعَ اٰیٰتِكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ نَّذِلَّ وَ نَخْزٰى(134)

And if We had destroyed them with a punishment before this [Qur'an], they would have said, "Our Lord, why did You not send to us a messenger before, so we could have followed Your verses before we were disgraced and humiliated?" (134)

قُلْ كُلٌّ مُّتَرَبِّصٌ فَتَرَبَّصُوْاۚ-فَسَتَعْلَمُوْنَ مَنْ اَصْحٰبُ الصِّرَاطِ السَّوِیِّ وَ مَنِ اهْتَدٰى(135)

Say, "Each [of us] is waiting; so wait. For you will know who are the companions of the sound path and who is guided." (135)
