Tilka Aayaatul Kitaabil Mubeen

These are the verses of the clear Book.

La'allaka baakhi'un nafsaka allaa yakoonoo mu'mineen

Perhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.

In nashaa nunazzil 'alaihim minas samaaa'i Aayatan fazallat a'naaquhum lahaa khaadi'een

If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.

Wa maa yaateehim min zikrim minar Rahmaani muhdasin illaa kaanoo 'anhu mu'rideen

And no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.

Faqad kazzaboo fasa yaateehim ambaaa'u maa kaanoo bihee yastahzi'oon

For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule.

Awa lam yaraw ilal ardi kam ambatnaa feehaa min kulli zawjin kareem

Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind?

Inn fee zaalika la Aayah; wa maa kaana aksaruhum mu'mineen

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Wa inna Rabbaka la Huwal 'Azeezur Raheem

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Wa iz naadaa Rabbuka Moosaaa ani'-til qawmaz zaalimeen

And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people -

Qawma Fir'awn; alaa yattaqoon

The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allah?"

Qaala Rabbi inneee akhaafu ai yukazziboon

He said, "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me

Wa yadeequ sadree wa laa yantaliqu lisaanee fa arsil ilaa Haaroon

And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron.

Wa lahum 'alaiya zambun fa akhaafu ai yaqtuloon

And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me."

Qaala kallaa fazhabaa bi Aayaatinaaa innaa ma'akum mustami'oon

[Allah] said, "No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening.

Faatiyaa Fir'awna faqoolaaa innaa Rasoolu Rabbil 'aalameen

Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds,

An arsil ma'anaa Baneee Israaa'eel

[Commanded to say], "Send with us the Children of Israel."'"

Qaala alam nurabbika feenaa waleedanw wa labista feenaa min 'umurika sineen

[Pharaoh] said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life?

Wa fa'alta fa'latakal latee fa'alta wa anta minal kaafireen

And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful."

Qaala fa'altuhaaa izanw wa ana minad daaaleen

[Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray.

Fafarartu minkum lam maa khiftukum fawahaba lee Rabbee hukmanw wa ja'alanee minal mursaleen

So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me wisdom and prophethood and appointed me [as one] of the messengers.

Wa tilka ni'matun tamun nuhaa 'alaiya an 'abbatta Baneee Israaa'eel

And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?"

Qaala Fir'awnu wa maa Rabbul 'aalameen

Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds?"

Qaala Rabbus samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumaa in kuntum mooqineen

[Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced."

Qaala liman hawlahooo alaa tastami'oon

[Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear?"

Qaala Rabbukum wa Rabbu aabaaa'ikumul awwaleen

[Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers."

Qaala inna Rasoolakumul lazee ursila ilaikum lamajnoon

[Pharaoh] said, "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad."

Qaala Rabbul mashriqi wal maghribi wa maa baina humaa in kuntum ta'qiloon

[Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason."

Qaala la'init takhazta ilaahan ghairee la aj'alannaka minal masjooneen

[Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned."

Qaala awalw ji'tuka bishai'im mubeen

[Moses] said, "Even if I brought you proof manifest?"

Qaala faati biheee in kunta minas saadiqeen

[Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful."

Fa alqaa 'asaahu fa izaaa hiya su'baanum mubeen

So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest.

Wa naza'a yadahoo faizaa hiya baidaaa'u linnaa zireen

And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers.

Qaala lilmala-i hawlahooo inna haazaa lasaahirun 'aleem

[Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician.

Yureedu ai yukhrijakum min ardikum bisihrihee famaazaa taamuroon

He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise?"

Qaalooo arjih wa akhaahu wab'as filmadaaa'ini haashireen

They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers

Yaatooka bikulli sah haarin 'aleem

Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician."

Fa jumi'as saharatu limeeqaati Yawmim ma'loom

So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day.

Wa qeela linnaasi hal antum mujtami'oon

And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate

La'allanaa nattabi'us saharata in kaanoo humul ghaalibeen

That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"

Falammaa jaaa'as saharatu qaaloo li Fir'awna a'inna lanaa la ajjran in kunnaa nahnul ghaalibeen

And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?"

Qaala na'am wa innakum izal laminal muqarrabeen

He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]."

Qaala lahum Moosaaa alqoo maaa antum mulqoon

Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw."

Fa alqaw hibaalahum wa 'isiyyahum wa qaaloo bi'izzati Fir'awna innaa lanahnul ghaaliboon

So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant."

Fa alqaa Moosaa 'asaahu fa izaa hiya talqafu maa yaafikoon

Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified.

Fa ulqiyas saharatu saajideen

So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah].

Qaalooo aamannaa bi Rabbil 'aalameen

They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,

Rabbi Moosaa wa Haaroon

The Lord of Moses and Aaron."

Qaala aamantum lahoo qabla an aazana lakum innahoo lakabeerukumul lazee 'alla makumus sihra falasawfa ta'lamoon; la uqatti'anna aidiyakum wa arjulakum min khilaafinw wa la usallibanna kum ajma'een

[Pharaoh] said, "You believed Moses before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all."

Qaaloo la daira innaaa ilaa Rabbinaa munqalliboon

They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return.

Innaa natma'u ai yaghfira lanaa Rabbunna khataa yaanaaa an kunnaaa awwalal mu'mineen

Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers."

Wa awhainaaa ilaa Moosaaa an asri bi'ibaadeee innakum muttaba'oon

And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued."

Fa arsala Fir'awnu filmadaaa'ini haashireen

Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers

Inna haaa'ulaaa'i lashir zimatun qaleeloon

[And said], "Indeed, those are but a small band,

Wa innahum lanaa laghaaa'izoon

And indeed, they are enraging us,

Wa innaa lajamee'un haaziroon

And indeed, we are a cautious society... "

Fa akhrajnaahum min Jannaatinw wa 'uyoon

So We removed them from gardens and springs

Wa kunoozinw wa ma qaamin kareem

And treasures and honorable station -

Kazaalika wa awrasnaahaa Baneee Israaa'eel

Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel.

Fa atba'oohum mushriqeen

So they pursued them at sunrise.

Falammaa taraaa'al jam'aani qaala as haabu Moosaaa innaa lamudrakoon

And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken!"

Qaala kallaaa inna ma'iya Rabbee sa yahdeen

[Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me."

Fa awhainaaa ilaa Moosaaa anidrib bi'asaakal bahra fanfalaqa fakaana kullu firqin kattawdil 'azeem

Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain.

Wa azlafnaa sammal aakhareen

And We advanced thereto the pursuers.

Wa anjainaa Moosaa wa mam ma'ahooo ajma'een

And We saved Moses and those with him, all together.

Summa aghraqnal aakhareen

Then We drowned the others.

Inna fee zaalika la Aayaah; wa maa kaana aksaru hu mu'mineen

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Wa inna Rabbaka la Huwal 'Azeezur Raheem

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Watlu 'alaihim naba-a Ibraaheem

And recite to them the news of Abraham,

Iz qaala li abeehi wa qawmihee maa ta'budoon

When he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?"

Qaaloo na'budu asnaaman fanazallu lahaa 'aakifeen

They said, "We worship idols and remain to them devoted."

Qaala hal yasma'oona kum iz tad'oon

He said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate?

Aw yanfa'oonakum aw yadurroon

Or do they benefit you, or do they harm?"

Qaaloo bal wajadnaaa aabaaa 'anaa kazaalika yaf'aloon

They said, "But we found our fathers doing thus."

Qaala afara 'aitum maa kuntum ta'budoon

He said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping,

Antum wa aabaaa'ukumul aqdamoon

You and your ancient forefathers?

Fa innahum 'aduwwwul leee illaa Rabbal 'aalameen

Indeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds,

Allazee khalaqanee fa Huwa yahdeen

Who created me, and He [it is who] guides me.

Wallazee Huwa yut'imunee wa yasqeen

And it is He who feeds me and gives me drink.

Wa izaa mardtu fahuwa yashfeen

And when I am ill, it is He who cures me
