Natloo AAalayka min naba-i moosawafirAAawna bilhaqqi liqawmin yu/minoon
We recite to you herein some history of Moses and Pharaoh, truthfully, for the benefit of people who believe.

اِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ عَلَا فِي الْاَرْضِ وَجَعَلَ اَهْلَهَا شِيَعاً يَسْتَضْعِفُ طَٓائِفَةً مِنْهُمْ يُذَبِّـحُ اَبْنَٓاءَهُمْ وَيَسْتَحْـي۪ نِسَٓاءَهُمْۜ اِنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُفْسِد۪ينَ
Inna firAAawna AAala fee al-ardiwajaAAala ahlaha shiyaAAan yastadAAifu ta-ifatanminhum yuthabbihu abnaahum wayastahyeenisaahum innahu kana mina almufsideen
Pharaoh turned into a tyrant on earth, and discriminated against some people. He persecuted a helpless group of them, slaughtering their sons, while sparing their daughters. He was indeed wicked.
5
وَنُر۪يدُ اَنْ نَمُنَّ عَلَى الَّذ۪ينَ اسْتُضْعِفُوا فِي الْاَرْضِ وَنَجْعَلَهُمْ اَئِمَّةً وَنَجْعَلَهُمُ الْوَارِث۪ينَۙ
Wanureedu an namunna AAala allatheenaistudAAifoo fee al-ardi wanajAAalahum a-immatanwanajAAalahumu alwaritheen
We willed to compensate those who were oppressed on earth, and to turn them into leaders, and make them the inheritors.
6
وَنُمَكِّنَ لَهُمْ فِي الْاَرْضِ وَنُرِيَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامَانَ وَجُنُودَهُمَا مِنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَحْذَرُونَ

And to establish them on earth, and to give Pharaoh, Hamaan, and their troops a taste of their own medicine.
7
وَاَوْحَيْنَٓا اِلٰٓى اُمِّ مُوسٰٓى اَنْ اَرْضِع۪يهِۚ فَاِذَا خِفْتِ عَلَيْهِ فَاَلْق۪يهِ فِي الْيَمِّ وَلَا تَخَاف۪ي وَلَا تَحْزَن۪يۚ اِنَّا رَٓادُّوهُ اِلَيْكِ وَجَاعِلُوهُ مِنَ الْمُرْسَل۪ينَ

We inspired Moses' mother: "Nurse him, and when you fear for his life, throw him into the river without fear or grief. We will return him to you, and will make him one of the messengers."
8
فَالْتَقَطَهُٓ اٰلُ فِرْعَوْنَ لِيَكُونَ لَهُمْ عَدُواًّ وَحَزَناًۜ اِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامَانَ وَجُنُودَهُمَا كَانُوا خَاطِـ۪ٔينَ
Faltaqatahu alufirAAawna liyakoona lahum AAaduwwan wahazanan innafirAAawna wahamana wajunoodahuma kanookhati-een
Pharaoh's family picked him up, only to have him lead the opposition and to be a source of grief for them. That is because Pharaoh, Hamaan, and their troops were transgressors.
9
وَقَالَتِ امْرَاَتُ فِرْعَوْنَ قُرَّتُ عَيْنٍ ل۪ي وَلَكَۜ لَا تَقْتُلُوهُۗ عَسٰٓى اَنْ يَنْفَعَنَٓا اَوْ نَتَّخِذَهُ وَلَداً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
Waqalati imraatu firAAawna qurratuAAaynin lee walaka la taqtuloohu AAasa an yanfaAAanaaw nattakhithahu waladan wahum la yashAAuroon
Pharaoh's wife said, "This can be a joyous find for me and you. Do not kill him, for he may be of some benefit for us, or we may adopt him to be our son." They had no idea.
10
وَاَصْبَحَ فُؤٰادُ اُمِّ مُوسٰى فَارِغاًۜ اِنْ كَادَتْ لَتُبْد۪ي بِه۪ لَوْلَٓا اَنْ رَبَطْنَا عَلٰى قَلْبِهَا لِتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ
Waasbaha fu-adu ommimoosa farighan in kadat latubdee bihi lawlaan rabatna AAala qalbiha litakoonamina almu/mineen
The mind of Moses' mother was growing so anxious that she almost gave away his identity. But we strengthened her heart, to make her a believer.
11
وَقَالَتْ لِاُخْتِه۪ قُصّ۪يهِۘ فَبَصُرَتْ بِه۪ عَنْ جُنُبٍ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَۙ
Waqalat li-okhtihi qusseehifabasurat bihi AAan junubin wahum la yashAAuroon
She said to his sister, "Trace his path." She watched him from afar, while they did not perceive.
12
وَحَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِ الْمَرَاضِعَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَقَالَتْ هَلْ اَدُلُّكُمْ عَلٰٓى اَهْلِ بَيْتٍ يَكْفُلُونَهُ لَكُمْ وَهُمْ لَهُ نَاصِحُونَ
Waharramna AAalayhi almaradiAAamin qablu faqalat hal adullukum AAala ahli baytinyakfuloonahu lakum wahum lahu nasihoon
We forbade him from accepting all the nursing mothers. (His sister) then said, "I can show you a family that can raise him for you, and take good care of him."
13
فَرَدَدْنَاهُ اِلٰٓى اُمِّه۪ كَيْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَ وَلِتَعْلَمَ اَنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ۟
Faradadnahu ila ommihi kaytaqarra AAaynuha wala tahzana walitaAAlamaanna waAAda Allahi haqqun walakinnaaktharahum la yaAAlamoon
Thus, we restored him to his mother, in order to please her, remove her worries, and to let her know that GOD's promise is the truth. However, most of them do not know.
14
وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ اَشُدَّهُ وَاسْتَوٰٓى اٰتَيْنَاهُ حُكْماً وَعِلْماًۜ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِن۪ينَ
Walamma balagha ashuddahu wastawaataynahu hukman waAAilman wakathalikanajzee almuhsineen
When he reached maturity and strength, we endowed him with wisdom and knowledge. We thus reward the righteous.
15
وَدَخَلَ الْمَد۪ينَةَ عَلٰى ح۪ينِ غَفْلَةٍ مِنْ اَهْلِهَا فَوَجَدَ ف۪يهَا رَجُلَيْنِ يَقْتَتِلَانِۘ هٰذَا مِنْ ش۪يعَتِه۪ وَهٰذَا مِنْ عَدُوِّه۪ۚ فَاسْتَغَاثَهُ الَّذ۪ي مِنْ ش۪يعَتِه۪ عَلَى الَّذ۪ي مِنْ عَدُوِّه۪ۙ فَوَكَزَهُ مُوسٰى فَقَضٰى عَلَيْهِۘ قَالَ هٰذَا مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِۜ اِنَّهُ عَدُوٌّ مُضِلٌّ مُب۪ينٌ

Once he entered the city unexpectedly, without being recognized by the people. He found two men fighting; one was (a Hebrew) from his people, and the other was (an Egyptian) from his enemies. The one from his people called on him for help against his enemy. Moses punched him, killing him. He said, "This is the work of the devil; he is a real enemy, and a profound misleader."
16
قَالَ رَبِّ اِنّ۪ي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْس۪ي فَاغْفِرْ ل۪ي فَغَفَرَ لَهُۜ اِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّح۪يمُ

He said, "My Lord, in return for Your blessings upon me, I will never be a supporter of the guilty ones."
18
فَاَصْبَحَ فِي الْمَد۪ينَةِ خَٓائِفاً يَتَرَقَّبُ فَاِذَا الَّذِي اسْتَنْصَرَهُ بِالْاَمْسِ يَسْتَصْرِخُهُۜ قَالَ لَهُ مُوسٰٓى اِنَّكَ لَغَوِيٌّ مُب۪ينٌ
Faasbaha fee almadeenati kha-ifanyataraqqabu fa-itha allathee istansarahu bil-amsiyastasrikhuhu qala lahu moosa innakalaghawiyyun mubeen
In the morning, he was in the city, afraid and watchful. The one who sought his help yesterday, asked for his help again. Moses said to him, "You are really a trouble maker."
19
فَلَمَّٓا اَنْ اَرَادَ اَنْ يَبْطِشَ بِالَّذ۪ي هُوَ عَدُوٌّ لَهُمَاۙ قَالَ يَا مُوسٰٓى اَتُر۪يدُ اَنْ تَقْتُلَن۪ي كَمَا قَتَلْتَ نَفْساً بِالْاَمْسِۗ اِنْ تُر۪يدُ اِلَّٓا اَنْ تَكُونَ جَبَّاراً فِي الْاَرْضِ وَمَا تُر۪يدُ اَنْ تَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُصْلِح۪ينَ

Before he attempted to strike their common enemy, he said, "O Moses, do you want to kill me, as you killed the other man yesterday? Obviously, you wish to be a tyrant on earth; you do not wish to be righteous."
20
وَجَٓاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ اَقْصَا الْمَد۪ينَةِ يَسْعٰىۘ قَالَ يَا مُوسٰٓى اِنَّ الْمَلَاَ يَأْتَمِرُونَ بِكَ لِيَقْتُلُوكَ فَاخْرُجْ اِنّ۪ي لَكَ مِنَ النَّاصِح۪ينَ
Wajaa rajulun min aqsaalmadeenati yasAAa qala ya moosa innaalmalaa ya/tamiroona bika liyaqtulooka fakhruj innee lakamina annasiheen
A man came running from the other side of the city, saying, "O Moses, the people are plotting to kill you. You better leave immediately. I am giving you good advice."
21
فَخَرَجَ مِنْهَا خَٓائِفاً يَتَرَقَّبُۘ قَالَ رَبِّ نَجِّن۪ي مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِم۪ينَ۟
Fakharaja minha kha-ifanyataraqqabu qala rabbi najjinee mina alqawmi aththalimeen
He fled the city, afraid and watchful. He said, "My Lord, save me from the oppressive people."

23

When he reached Midyan's water, he found a crowd of people watering, and noticed two women waiting on the side. He said, "What is it that you need?" They said, "We are not able to water, until the crowd disperses, and our father is an old man."
24
فَسَقٰى لَهُمَا ثُمَّ تَوَلّٰٓى اِلَى الظِّلِّ فَقَالَ رَبِّ اِنّ۪ي لِمَٓا اَنْزَلْتَ اِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَق۪يرٌ
Fasaqa lahuma thumma tawallaila aththilli faqala rabbiinnee lima anzalta ilayya min khayrin faqeer
He watered for them, then turned to the shade, saying, "My Lord, whatever provision you send to me, I am in dire need for it."
25
فَجَٓاءَتْهُ اِحْدٰيهُمَا تَمْش۪ي عَلَى اسْتِحْيَٓاءٍۘ قَالَتْ اِنَّ اَب۪ي يَدْعُوكَ لِيَجْزِيَكَ اَجْرَ مَا سَقَيْتَ لَنَاۜ فَلَمَّا جَٓاءَهُ وَقَصَّ عَلَيْهِ الْقَصَصَۙ قَالَ لَا تَخَفْ۠ نَجَوْتَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِم۪ينَ

Soon, one of the two women approached him, shyly, and said, "My father invites you to pay you for watering for us." When he met him, and told him his story, he said, "Have no fear. You have been saved from the oppressive people."
26
قَالَتْ اِحْدٰيهُمَا يَٓا اَبَتِ اسْتَأْجِرْهُۘ اِنَّ خَيْرَ مَنِ اسْتَأْجَرْتَ الْقَوِيُّ الْاَم۪ينُ

He said, "I wish to offer one of my two daughters for you to marry, in return for working for me for eight pilgrimages; if you make them ten, it will be voluntary on your part. I do not wish to make this matter too difficult for you. You will find me, GOD willing, righteous."
28
قَالَ ذٰلِكَ بَيْن۪ي وَبَيْنَكَۜ اَيَّمَا الْاَجَلَيْنِ قَضَيْتُ فَلَا عُدْوَانَ عَلَيَّۜ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰى مَا نَقُولُ وَك۪يلٌ۟

When he had fulfilled his obligation, he traveled with his family (towards Egypt). He saw from the slope of Mount Sinai a fire. He said to his family, "Stay here. I have seen a fire. Maybe I can bring to you news, or a portion of the fire to warm you."
30
فَلَمَّٓا اَتٰيهَا نُودِيَ مِنْ شَاطِئِ الْوَادِ الْاَيْمَنِ فِي الْبُقْعَةِ الْمُبَارَكَةِ مِنَ الشَّجَرَةِ اَنْ يَا مُوسٰٓى اِنّ۪ٓي اَنَا اللّٰهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَم۪ينَۙ

فَلَمَّا جَٓاءَهُمْ مُوسٰى بِاٰيَاتِنَا بَيِّنَاتٍ قَالُوا مَا هٰذَٓا اِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُفْتَرًى وَمَا سَمِعْنَا بِهٰذَا ف۪ٓي اٰبَٓائِنَا الْاَوَّل۪ينَ

38
وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ يَٓا اَيُّهَا الْمَلَأُ مَا عَلِمْتُ لَكُمْ مِنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْر۪يۚ فَاَوْقِدْ ل۪ي يَا هَامَانُ عَلَى الطّ۪ينِ فَاجْعَلْ ل۪ي صَرْحاً لَعَلّ۪ٓي اَطَّلِعُ اِلٰٓى اِلٰهِ مُوسٰىۙ وَاِنّ۪ي لَاَظُنُّهُ مِنَ الْكَاذِب۪ينَ

Pharaoh said, "O you elders, I have not known of any god for you other than me. Therefore, fire the adobe, O Hamaan, in order to build a tower, that I may take a look at the god of Moses. I am sure that he is a liar."
39
وَاسْتَكْبَرَ هُوَ وَجُنُودُهُ فِي الْاَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَظَنُّٓوا اَنَّهُمْ اِلَيْنَا لَا يُرْجَعُونَ
Wastakbara huwa wajunooduhu feeal-ardi bighayri alhaqqi wathannooannahum ilayna la yurjaAAoon
Thus, he and his troops continued to commit arrogance on earth, without any right, and thought that they would not be returned to us.
40
فَاَخَذْنَاهُ وَجُنُودَهُ فَنَبَذْنَاهُمْ فِي الْيَمِّۚ فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الظَّالِم۪ينَ

We gave Moses the scripture - after having annihilated the previous generations, and after setting the examples through them - to provide enlightenment for the people, and guidance, and mercy, that they may take heed.
44
وَمَا كُنْتَ بِجَانِبِ الْغَرْبِيِّ اِذْ قَضَيْنَٓا اِلٰى مُوسَى الْاَمْرَ وَمَا كُنْتَ مِنَ الشَّاهِد۪ينَۙ
Wama kunta bijanibialgharbiyyi ith qadayna ila moosaal-amra wama kunta mina ashshahideen
You were not present on the slope of the western mount, when we issued the command to Moses; you were not a witness.,
45
وَلٰكِنَّٓا اَنْشَأْنَا قُرُوناً فَتَطَاوَلَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْعُمُرُۚ وَمَا كُنْتَ ثَاوِياً ف۪ٓي اَهْلِ مَدْيَنَ تَتْلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيَاتِنَاۙ وَلٰكِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِل۪ينَ
Walakinna ansha-naquroonan fatatawala AAalayhimu alAAumuru wama kuntathawiyan fee ahli madyana tatloo AAalayhim ayatinawalakinna kunna mursileen
But we established many generations, and, because of the length of time, (they deviated). Nor were you among the people of Midyan, reciting our revelations to them. But we did send messengers.
46
وَمَا كُنْتَ بِجَانِبِ الطُّورِ اِذْ نَادَيْنَا وَلٰكِنْ رَحْمَةً مِنْ رَبِّكَ لِتُنْذِرَ قَوْماً مَٓا اَتٰيهُمْ مِنْ نَذ۪يرٍ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ
Wama kunta bijanibi attooriith nadayna walakin rahmatanmin rabbika litunthira qawman ma atahum minnatheerin min qablika laAAallahum yatathakkaroon
Nor were you on the slope of Mount Sinai when we called (Moses). But it is mercy from your Lord, (towards the people,) in order to warn people who received no warner before you, that they may take heed.
47
وَلَوْلَٓا اَنْ تُص۪يبَهُمْ مُص۪يبَةٌ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ اَيْد۪يهِمْ فَيَقُولُوا رَبَّـنَا لَوْلَٓا اَرْسَلْتَ اِلَيْنَا رَسُولاً فَنَتَّبِعَ اٰيَاتِكَ وَنَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ
Walawla an tuseebahum museebatunbima qaddamat aydeehim fayaqooloo rabbana lawlaarsalta ilayna rasoolan fanattabiAAa ayatikawanakoona mina almu/mineen
Thus, they cannot say, when a disaster strikes them as a consequence of their own deeds, "Our Lord, had You sent a messenger to us, we would have followed Your revelations, and would have been believers."
48
فَلَمَّا جَٓاءَهُمُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ عِنْدِنَا قَالُوا لَوْلَٓا اُو۫تِيَ مِثْلَ مَٓا اُو۫تِيَ مُوسٰىۜ اَوَلَمْ يَكْفُرُوا بِمَٓا اُو۫تِيَ مُوسٰى مِنْ قَبْلُۚ قَالُوا سِحْرَانِ تَظَاهَرَا۠ وَقَالُٓوا اِنَّا بِكُلٍّ كَافِرُونَ
Falamma jaahumu alhaqqumin AAindina qaloo lawla ootiya mithla maootiya moosa awa lam yakfuroo bima ootiya moosamin qablu qaloo sihrani tathaharawaqaloo inna bikullin kafiroon
Now that the truth has come to them from us, they said, "If only we could be given what was given to Moses!" Did they not disbelieve in what was given to Moses in the past? They said, "Both (scriptures) are works of magic that copied one another." They also said, "We are disbelievers in both of them."
49
قُلْ فَأْتُوا بِكِتَابٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ هُوَ اَهْدٰى مِنْهُمَٓا اَتَّبِعْهُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِق۪ينَ
Qul fa/too bikitabin min AAindi Allahihuwa ahda minhuma attabiAAhu in kuntum sadiqeen
Say, "Then produce a scripture from GOD with better guidance than the two, so I can follow it, if you are truthful."
50
فَاِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَج۪يبُوا لَكَ فَاعْلَمْ اَنَّمَا يَتَّبِعُونَ اَهْوَٓاءَهُمْۜ وَمَنْ اَضَلُّ مِمَّنِ اتَّبَعَ هَوٰيهُ بِغَيْرِ هُدًى مِنَ اللّٰهِۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِم۪ينَ
Fa-in lam yastajeeboo laka faAAlamannama yattabiAAoona ahwaahum waman adallumimmani ittabaAAa hawahu bighayri hudan mina Allahiinna Allaha la yahdee alqawma aththalimeen
If they fail to respond to you, then know that they follow only their own opinions. Who is farther astray than those who follow their own opinions, without guidance from GOD? GOD does not guide such wicked people.
51
وَلَقَدْ وَصَّلْنَا لَهُمُ الْقَوْلَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَۜ۟
Walaqad wassalna lahumualqawla laAAallahum yatathakkaroon
We have delivered the message to them, that they may take heed.
52
اَلَّذ۪ينَ اٰتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلِه۪ هُمْ بِه۪ يُؤْمِنُونَ
Allatheena ataynahumualkitaba min qablihi hum bihi yu/minoon
Those whom we blessed with the previous scriptures will believe in this.
53
وَاِذَا يُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ قَالُٓوا اٰمَنَّا بِه۪ٓ اِنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّنَٓا اِنَّا كُنَّا مِنْ قَبْلِه۪ مُسْلِم۪ينَ
Wa-itha yutla AAalayhim qalooamanna bihi innahu alhaqqu min rabbinainna kunna min qablihi muslimeen
When it is recited to them, they will say, "We believe in it. This is the truth from our Lord. Even before we heard of it, we were submitters."
54
اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ يُؤْتَوْنَ اَجْرَهُمْ مَرَّتَيْنِ بِمَا صَبَرُوا وَيَدْرَؤُ۫نَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَ
Ola-ika yu/tawna ajrahum marrataynibima sabaroo wayadraoona bilhasanatiassayyi-ata wamimma razaqnahum yunfiqoon
To these we grant twice the reward, because they steadfastly persevere. They counter evil works with good works, and from our provisions to them, they give.
55
وَاِذَا سَمِعُوا اللَّغْوَ اَعْرَضُوا عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا لَـنَٓا اَعْمَالُنَا وَلَكُمْ اَعْمَالُكُمْۘ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْۘ لَا نَبْتَغِي الْجَاهِل۪ينَ
Wa-itha samiAAoo allaghwa aAAradooAAanhu waqaloo lana aAAmaluna walakumaAAmalukum salamun AAalaykum la nabtagheealjahileen
When they come across vain talk, they disregard it and say, "We are responsible for our deeds, and you are responsible for your deeds. Peace be upon you. We do not wish to behave like the ignorant ones."
56
اِنَّكَ لَا تَهْد۪ي مَنْ اَحْبَبْتَ وَلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَهْد۪ي مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۚ وَهُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَد۪ينَ
Innaka la tahdee man ahbabtawalakinna Allaha yahdee man yashao wahuwaaAAlamu bilmuhtadeen
You cannot guide the ones you love. GOD is the only One who guides in accordance with His will, and in accordance with His knowledge of those who deserve the guidance.
57
وَقَالُٓوا اِنْ نَتَّبِـعِ الْهُدٰى مَعَكَ نُتَخَطَّفْ مِنْ اَرْضِنَاۜ اَوَلَمْ نُمَكِّنْ لَهُمْ حَرَماً اٰمِناً يُجْبٰٓى اِلَيْهِ ثَمَرَاتُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ رِزْقاً مِنْ لَدُنَّا وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
Waqaloo in nattabiAAi alhudamaAAaka nutakhattaf min ardina awa lamnumakkin lahum haraman aminan yujba ilayhithamaratu kulli shay-in rizqan min ladunna walakinnaaktharahum la yaAAlamoon
They said, "If we follow your guidance, we will suffer persecution." Did we not establish for them a Sacred Sanctuary, to which all kinds of fruits are offered, as a provision from us? Indeed, most of them do not know.
58
وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ بَطِرَتْ مَع۪يشَتَهَاۚ فَتِلْكَ مَسَاكِنُهُمْ لَمْ تُسْكَنْ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ اِلَّا قَل۪يلاًۜ وَكُنَّا نَحْنُ الْوَارِث۪ينَ
Wakam ahlakna min qaryatin batiratmaAAeeshataha fatilka masakinuhum lam tuskan minbaAAdihim illa qaleelan wakunna nahnu alwaritheen
Many a community we annihilated for turning unappreciative of their lives. Consequently, here are their homes, nothing but uninhabited ruins after them, except a few. We were the inheritors.
59
وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ مُهْلِكَ الْقُرٰى حَتّٰى يَبْعَثَ ف۪ٓي اُمِّهَا رَسُولاً يَتْلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيَاتِنَاۚ وَمَا كُنَّا مُهْلِكِي الْقُرٰٓى اِلَّا وَاَهْلُهَا ظَالِمُونَ
Wama kana rabbuka muhlikaalqura hatta yabAAatha fee ommiharasoolan yatloo AAalayhim ayatina wamakunna muhlikee alqura illa waahluha thalimoon
For your Lord never annihilates any community without sending a messenger in the midst thereof, to recite our revelations to them. We never annihilate any community, unless its people are wicked.
60
وَمَٓا اُو۫ت۪يتُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَمَتَاعُ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْ يَا وَز۪ينَتُهَاۚ وَمَا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ خَيْرٌ وَاَبْقٰىۜ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ۟
Wama ooteetum min shay-in famataAAualhayati addunya wazeenatuhawama AAinda Allahi khayrun waabqa afalataAAqiloon
Everything that is given to you is only the material of this life, and its vanity. What is with GOD is far better, and everlasting. Do you not understand?
61
اَفَمَنْ وَعَدْنَاهُ وَعْداً حَسَناً فَهُوَ لَاق۪يهِ كَمَنْ مَتَّعْنَاهُ مَتَاعَ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْ يَا ثُمَّ هُوَ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ مِنَ الْمُحْضَر۪ينَ
Afaman waAAadnahu waAAdan hasananfahuwa laqeehi kaman mattaAAnahu mataAAa alhayatiaddunya thumma huwa yawma alqiyamati minaalmuhdareen
Is one whom we promised a good promise that will surely come to pass, equal to one whom we provide with the temporary materials of this life, then suffers eternal doom on the Day of Resurrection?
62
وَيَوْمَ يُنَاد۪يهِمْ فَيَقُولُ اَيْنَ شُرَكَٓاءِيَ الَّذ۪ينَ كُنْتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ
Wayawma yunadeehim fayaqoolu aynashuraka-iya allatheena kuntum tazAAumoon
The day will come when He calls upon them, saying, "Where are those idols you had set up beside Me?"
63
قَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقَوْلُ رَبَّنَا هٰٓؤُ۬لَٓاءِ الَّذ۪ينَ اَغْوَيْنَاۚ اَغْوَيْنَاهُمْ كَمَا غَوَيْنَاۚ تَبَرَّأْنَٓا اِلَيْكَۘ مَا كَانُٓوا اِيَّانَا يَعْبُدُونَ
Qala allatheena haqqaAAalayhimu alqawlu rabbana haola-i allatheenaaghwayna aghwaynahum kama ghawaynatabarra/na ilayka ma kanoo iyyanayaAAbudoon
Those who incurred the judgment will say, "Our Lord, these are the ones we misled; we misled them only because we ourselves had gone astray. We now devote ourselves totally to You. They were not really worshipping us."
64
وَق۪يلَ ادْعُوا شُرَكَٓاءَكُمْ فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْتَج۪يبُوا لَهُمْ وَرَاَوُا الْعَذَابَۚ لَوْ اَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَهْتَدُونَ
Waqeela odAAoo shurakaakumfadaAAawhum falam yastajeeboo lahum waraawoo alAAathabalaw annahum kanoo yahtadoon
It will be said, "Call upon your idols (to help you)." They will call upon them, but they will not respond. They will suffer the retribution, and wish that they were guided!
65
وَيَوْمَ يُنَاد۪يهِمْ فَيَقُولُ مَاذَٓا اَجَبْتُمُ الْمُرْسَل۪ينَ
Wayawma yunadeehim fayaqoolu mathaajabtumu almursaleen
On that day, He will ask everyone, "How did you respond to the messengers?"
66
فَعَمِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الْاَنْـبَٓاءُ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَهُمْ لَا يَتَسَٓاءَلُونَ
FaAAamiyat AAalayhimu al-anbaoyawma-ithin fahum la yatasaaloon
They will be so stunned by the facts on that day, they will be speechless.
67
فَاَمَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَاٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحاً فَعَسٰٓى اَنْ يَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُفْلِح۪ينَ
Faamma man taba waamanawaAAamila salihan faAAasa an yakoona minaalmufliheen
As for those who repent, believe, and lead a righteous life, they will end up with the winners.
68
وَرَبُّكَ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَٓاءُ وَيَخْتَارُۜ مَا كَانَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُۜ سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ وَتَعَالٰى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ
Warabbuka yakhluqu ma yashaowayakhtaru ma kana lahumu alkhiyaratu subhanaAllahi wataAAala AAamma yushrikoon
Your Lord is the One who creates whatever He wills, and chooses; no one else does any choosing. Glory be to GOD, the Most Exalted. He is far above needing partners.
69
وَرَبُّكَ يَعْلَمُ مَا تُكِنُّ صُدُورُهُمْ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ
Warabbuka yaAAlamu ma tukinnu sudooruhumwama yuAAlinoon
Your Lord knows the innermost thoughts hidden in their chests, as well as everything they declare.
70
وَهُوَ اللّٰهُ لَٓا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۜ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِي الْاُو۫لٰى وَالْاٰخِرَةِۘ وَلَهُ الْحُكْمُ وَاِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ
Wahuwa Allahu la ilahailla huwa lahu alhamdu fee al-oola wal-akhiratiwalahu alhukmu wa-ilayhi turjaAAoon
He is the one GOD; there is no other god beside Him. To Him belongs all praise in this first life, and in the Hereafter. All judgment belongs with Him, and to Him you will be returned.
71
قُلْ اَرَاَيْتُمْ اِنْ جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكُمُ الَّيْلَ سَرْمَداً اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ مَنْ اِلٰهٌ غَيْرُ اللّٰهِ يَأْت۪يكُمْ بِضِيَٓاءٍۜ اَفَلَا تَسْمَعُونَ
Qul araaytum in jaAAala AllahuAAalaykumu allayla sarmadan ila yawmi alqiyamatiman ilahun ghayru Allahi ya/teekum bidiya-inafala tasmaAAoon
Say, "What if GOD made the night perpetual, until the Day of Resurrection? Which god, other than GOD, can provide you with light? Do you not hear?"
72
قُلْ اَرَاَيْتُمْ اِنْ جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكُمُ النَّهَارَ سَرْمَداً اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ مَنْ اِلٰهٌ غَيْرُ اللّٰهِ يَأْت۪يكُمْ بِلَيْلٍ تَسْكُنُونَ ف۪يهِۜ اَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ
Qul araaytum in jaAAala AllahuAAalaykumu annahara sarmadan ila yawmialqiyamati man ilahun ghayru Allahiya/teekum bilaylin taskunoona feehi afala tubsiroon
Say, "What if GOD made the daylight perpetual, until the Day of Resurrection? Which god, other than GOD, can provide you with a night for your rest? Do you not see?"
73
وَمِنْ رَحْمَتِه۪ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ لِتَسْكُنُوا ف۪يهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا مِنْ فَضْلِه۪ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ
Wamin rahmatihi jaAAala lakumuallayla wannahara litaskunoo feehi walitabtaghoomin fadlihi walaAAallakum tashkuroon
It is mercy from Him that He created for you the night and the day in order to rest (during the night), then seek His provisions (during the day), that you may be appreciative.
74
وَيَوْمَ يُنَاد۪يهِمْ فَيَقُولُ اَيْنَ شُرَكَٓاءِيَ الَّذ۪ينَ كُنْتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ
Wayawma yunadeehim fayaqoolu aynashuraka-iya allatheena kuntum tazAAumoon
The day will come when He asks them, "Where are the idols you had fabricated to rank with Me?"
75
وَنَزَعْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ اُمَّةٍ شَه۪يداً فَقُلْنَا هَاتُوا بُرْهَانَكُمْ فَعَلِمُٓوا اَنَّ الْحَقَّ لِلّٰهِ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ۟
WanazaAAna min kulli ommatinshaheedan faqulna hatoo burhanakumfaAAalimoo anna alhaqqa lillahi wadallaAAanhum ma kanoo yaftaroon
We will select from every community a witness, then say, "Present your proof." They will realize then that all truth belongs with GOD, while the idols they had fabricated will abandon them.
76
اِنَّ قَارُونَ كَانَ مِنْ قَوْمِ مُوسٰى فَبَغٰى عَلَيْهِمْۖ وَاٰتَيْنَاهُ مِنَ الْكُنُوزِ مَٓا اِنَّ مَفَاتِحَهُ لَتَنُٓوأُ بِالْعُصْبَةِ اُو۬لِي الْقُوَّةِۗ اِذْ قَالَ لَهُ قَوْمُهُ لَا تَفْرَحْ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْفَرِح۪ينَ

Qaaroon (the slave driver) was one of Moses' people who betrayed them and oppressed them. We gave him so many treasures that the keys thereof were almost too heavy for the strongest hand. His people said to him, "Do not be so arrogant; GOD does not love those who are arrogant.
77
وَابْتَغِ ف۪يمَٓا اٰتٰيكَ اللّٰهُ الدَّارَ الْاٰخِرَةَ وَلَا تَنْسَ نَص۪يبَكَ مِنَ الدُّنْ يَا وَاَحْسِنْ كَمَٓا اَحْسَنَ اللّٰهُ اِلَيْكَ وَلَا تَبْغِ الْفَسَادَ فِي الْاَرْضِۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُفْسِد۪ينَ
Wabtaghi feema atakaAllahu addara al-akhirata walatansa naseebaka mina addunya waahsinkama ahsana Allahu ilayka wala tabghialfasada fee al-ardi inna Allaha layuhibbu almufsideen
"Use the provisions bestowed upon you by GOD to seek the abode of the Hereafter, without neglecting your share in this world. Be charitable, as GOD has been charitable towards you. Do not keep on corrupting the earth. GOD does not love the corruptors."
78
قَالَ اِنَّـمَٓا اُو۫ت۪يتُهُ عَلٰى عِلْمٍ عِنْد۪يۜ اَوَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ قَدْ اَهْلَكَ مِنْ قَبْلِه۪ مِنَ الْقُرُونِ مَنْ هُوَ اَشَدُّ مِنْهُ قُوَّةً وَاَكْثَرُ جَمْعاًۜ وَلَا يُسْـَٔلُ عَنْ ذُنُوبِهِمُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ
Qala innama ooteetuhu AAalaAAilmin AAindee awa lam yaAAlam anna Allaha qad ahlaka minqablihi mina alqurooni man huwa ashaddu minhu quwwatan waaktharujamAAan wala yus-alu AAan thunoobihimu almujrimoon
He said, "I attained all this because of my own cleverness." Did he not realize that GOD had annihilated before him generations that were much stronger than he, and greater in number? The (annihilated) transgressors were not asked about their crimes.
79
فَخَرَجَ عَلٰى قَوْمِه۪ ف۪ي ز۪ينَتِه۪ۜ قَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ يُر۪يدُونَ الْحَيٰوةَ الدُّنْ يَا يَا لَيْتَ لَنَا مِثْلَ مَٓا اُو۫تِيَ قَارُونُۙ اِنَّهُ لَذُو حَظٍّ عَظ۪يمٍ
Fakharaja AAala qawmihi fee zeenatihiqala allatheena yureedoona alhayata addunyaya layta lana mithla ma ootiya qaroonuinnahu lathoo haththin AAatheem
One day, he came out to his people in full splendor. Those who preferred this worldly life said, "Oh, we wish that we possessed what Qaaroon has attained. Indeed, he is very fortunate."
80
وَقَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ اُو۫تُوا الْعِلْمَ وَيْلَكُمْ ثَوَابُ اللّٰهِ خَيْرٌ لِمَنْ اٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحاًۚ وَلَا يُلَقّٰيهَٓا اِلَّا الصَّابِرُونَ
Waqala allatheena ootooalAAilma waylakum thawabu Allahi khayrun liman amanawaAAamila salihan wala yulaqqahailla assabiroon
As for those who were blessed with knowledge, they said, "Woe to you, GOD's recompense is far better for those who believe and lead a righteous life." None attains this except the steadfast.
81
فَخَسَفْنَا بِه۪ وَبِدَارِهِ الْاَرْضَ فَمَا كَانَ لَهُ مِنْ فِئَةٍ يَنْصُرُونَهُ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِۗ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُنْتَصِر۪ينَ
Fakhasafna bihi wabidarihial-arda fama kana lahu min fi-atin yansuroonahumin dooni Allahi wama kana mina almuntasireen
We then caused the earth to swallow him and his mansion. No army could have helped him against GOD; he was not destined to be a winner.
82
وَاَصْبَحَ الَّذ۪ينَ تَمَنَّوْا مَكَانَهُ بِالْاَمْسِ يَقُولُونَ وَيْكَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَشَٓاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِه۪ وَيَقْدِرُۚ لَوْلَٓا اَنْ مَنَّ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْنَا لَخَسَفَ بِنَاۜ وَيْكَاَنَّهُ لَا يُفْلِحُ الْكَافِرُونَ۟

Those who were envious of him the day before said, "Now we realize that GOD is the One who provides for whomever He chooses from among His servants, and withholds. If it were not for GOD's grace towards us, He could have caused the earth to swallow us too. We now realize that the disbelievers never succeed."
83
تِلْكَ الدَّارُ الْاٰخِرَةُ نَجْعَلُهَا لِلَّذ۪ينَ لَا يُر۪يدُونَ عُلُواًّ فِي الْاَرْضِ وَلَا فَسَاداًۜ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّق۪ينَ
Tilka addaru al-akhiratunajAAaluha lillatheena la yureedoonaAAuluwwan fee al-ardi wala fasadan walAAaqibatulilmuttaqeen
We reserve the abode of the Hereafter for those who do not seek exaltation on earth, nor corruption. The ultimate victory belongs to the righteous.
84
مَنْ جَٓاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْهَاۚ وَمَنْ جَٓاءَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَلَا يُجْزَى الَّذ۪ينَ عَمِلُوا السَّيِّـَٔاتِ اِلَّا مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
Man jaa bilhasanatifalahu khayrun minha waman jaa bissayyi-atifala yujza allatheena AAamiloo assayyi-atiilla ma kanoo yaAAmaloon
Whoever works righteousness receives a far better reward. As for those who commit sins, the retribution for their sins is precisely equivalent to their works.
85
اِنَّ الَّذ۪ي فَرَضَ عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْاٰنَ لَـرَٓادُّكَ اِلٰى مَعَادٍۜ قُلْ رَبّ۪ٓي اَعْلَمُ مَنْ جَٓاءَ بِالْهُدٰى وَمَنْ هُوَ ف۪ي ضَلَالٍ مُب۪ينٍ
Inna allathee farada AAalaykaalqur-ana laradduka ila maAAadin qulrabbee aAAlamu man jaa bilhuda waman huwafee dalalin mubeen
Surely, the One who decreed the Quran for you will summon you to a predetermined appointment. Say, "My Lord is fully aware of those who uphold the guidance, and those who have gone astray."
86
وَمَا كُنْتَ تَرْجُٓوا اَنْ يُلْقٰٓى اِلَيْكَ الْكِتَابُ اِلَّا رَحْمَةً مِنْ رَبِّكَ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ ظَه۪يراً لِلْكَافِر۪ينَۘ
Wama kunta tarjoo an yulqailayka alkitabu illa rahmatan min rabbikafala takoonanna thaheeran lilkafireen
You never expected this scripture to come your way; but this is a mercy from your Lord. Therefore, you shall not side with the disbelievers.
87
وَلَا يَصُدُّنَّكَ عَنْ اٰيَاتِ اللّٰهِ بَعْدَ اِذْ اُنْزِلَتْ اِلَيْكَ وَادْعُ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُشْرِك۪ينَۚ
Wala yasuddunnaka AAan ayatiAllahi baAAda ith onzilat ilayka wadAAu ilarabbika wala takoonanna mina almushrikeen
Nor shall you be diverted from GOD's revelations, after they have come to you, and invite the others to your Lord. And do not ever fall into idol worship.
88
وَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهاً اٰخَرَۢ لَٓا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ۠ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ هَالِكٌ اِلَّا وَجْهَهُۜ لَهُ الْحُكْمُ وَاِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ
Wala tadAAu maAAa Allahi ilahanakhara la ilaha illa huwa kullushay-in halikun illa wajhahu lahu alhukmuwa-ilayhi turjaAAoon
You shall not worship beside GOD any other god. There is no other god beside Him. Everything perishes except His presence. To Him belongs all sovereignty, and to Him you will be returned.
