تِلْكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
Tilka Aayaatul Kitaabil Mubeen
These are the verses of the perspicuous Book.
لَعَلَّكَ بَٰخِعٌۭ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ
La'allaka baakhi'un nafsaka allaa yakoonoo mu'mineen
You may perhaps wear out your heart because they do not come to belief.
إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةًۭ فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَٰقُهُمْ لَهَا خَٰضِعِينَ
In nashaa nunazzil 'alaihim minas samaaa'i Aayatan fazallat a'naaquhum lahaa khaadi'een
We could send down from the heavens a sign to them if We pleased, before which their heads would remain bowed.
وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ
Wa maa yaateehim min zikrim minar Rahmaani muhdasin illaa kaanoo 'anhu mu'rideen
Never does a new reminder come to them from Ar-Rahman but they turn away from it.
فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنۢبَٰٓؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ
Faqad kazzaboo fasa yaateehim ambaaa'u maa kaanoo bihee yastahzi'oon
Surely they have done with denying; soon will come to them the news of what they were laughing at.
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍۢ كَرِيمٍ
Awa lam yaraw ilal ardi kam ambatnaa feehaa min kulli zawjin kareem
Do they not see the earth, how We grow all kinds of noble things upon it?
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Inn fee zaalika la Aayah; wa maa kaana aksaruhum mu'mineen
Verily there are signs in this; yet many of them do not believe.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Wa inna Rabbaka la Huwal 'Azeezur Raheem
Your Lord is surely mighty and merciful.
وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئْتِ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ
Wa iz naadaa Rabbuka Moosaaa ani'-til qawmaz zaalimeen
When your Lord called upon Moses: "Go to the wicked people,
قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ
Qawma Fir'awn; alaa yattaqoon
The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear and take heed?"
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ
Qaala Rabbi inneee akhaafu ai yukazziboon
: He said: "O Lord, I fear that they will deny me.
وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِى وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِى فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَٰرُونَ
Wa yadeequ sadree wa laa yantaliqu lisaanee fa arsil ilaa Haaroon
My heart is constrained, my tongue falters, so delegate Aaron;
وَلَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنۢبٌۭ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ
Wa lahum 'alaiya zambun fa akhaafu ai yaqtuloon
And they have a charge (of murder) against me. So I fear that they will kill me."
قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ فَٱذْهَبَا بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ ۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ
Qaala kallaa fazhabaa bi Aayaatinaaa innaa ma'akum mustami'oon
(It was) said: "By no means. Go with My signs, both of you. I am verily with you and I hear.
فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Faatiyaa Fir'awna faqoolaaa innaa Rasoolu Rabbil 'aalameen
Go to the Pharaoh and tell him: 'We bring a message from the Lord of all the worlds
أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
An arsil ma'anaa Baneee Israaa'eel
That you should send the children of Israel with us.'
قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًۭا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ
Qaala alam nurabbika feenaa waleedanw wa labista feenaa min 'umurika sineen
(The Pharaoh) said: "Did we not bring you up as a child? And you lived a number of years of your life with us.
وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِى فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ
Wa fa'alta fa'latakal latee fa'alta wa anta minal kaafireen
And you commited what you did, and you are ungrateful!"
قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَآ إِذًۭا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ
Qaala fa'altuhaaa izanw wa ana minad daaaleen
(Moses) replied: "I did do that and I was in the wrong,
فَفَرَرْتُ مِنكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِى رَبِّى حُكْمًۭا وَجَعَلَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Fafarartu minkum lam maa khiftukum fawahaba lee Rabbee hukmanw wa ja'alanee minal mursaleen
So I ran away from you out of fear. But my Lord has given me wisdom, and made me an apostle.
وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌۭ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
Wa tilka ni'matun tamun nuhaa 'alaiya an 'abbatta Baneee Israaa'eel
But the favour you oblige me with is that you have enslaved the children of Israel."
قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Qaala Fir'awnu wa maa Rabbul 'aalameen
The Pharaoh asked: "And what is the Lord of all the worlds?"
قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ
Qaala Rabbus samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumaa in kuntum mooqineen
(Moses) said: "The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, if you can believe."
قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ
Qaala liman hawlahooo alaa tastami'oon
(The Pharaoh) said to those around him: "Do you hear?"
قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Qaala Rabbukum wa Rabbu aabaaa'ikumul awwaleen
(Moses continued): "Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers before you."
قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌۭ
Qaala inna Rasoolakumul lazee ursila ilaikum lamajnoon
(The Pharaoh) said (to his nobles): "Your apostle who has been sent to you, is certainly mad."
قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ
Qaala Rabbul mashriqi wal maghribi wa maa baina humaa in kuntum ta'qiloon
(Moses) said: "The Lord of the East and the Lord of the West and all that lies between them, if you have sense."
قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذْتَ إِلَٰهًا غَيْرِى لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَسْجُونِينَ
Qaala la'init takhazta ilaahan ghairee la aj'alannaka minal masjooneen
(The Pharaoh) said: "If you took another god apart from me I will have you incarcerated."
قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَىْءٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ
Qaala awalw ji'tuka bishai'im mubeen
(Moses) said: "Even though I have brought to you something convincing?"
قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ
Qaala faati biheee in kunta minas saadiqeen
(The Pharaoh) said: "Then bring it, if you speak the truth."
فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ
Fa alqaa 'asaahu fa izaaa hiya su'baanum mubeen
So (Moses) cast his staff, and lo, it turned into a living serpent.
وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ
Wa naza'a yadahoo faizaa hiya baidaaa'u linnaa zireen
And he drew forth his hand, and lo, it looked white to the beholders.
قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌۭ
Qaala lilmala-i hawlahooo inna haazaa lasaahirun 'aleem
The Pharaoh said to the chiefs around him: "He is certainly a clever magician.
يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ
Yureedu ai yukhrijakum min ardikum bisihrihee famaazaa taamuroon
He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic. So, what do you bid?"
قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبْعَثْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ
Qaalooo arjih wa akhaahu wab'as filmadaaa'ini haashireen
They said: "Put him and his brother off awhile, and send summoners to the cities to gather
يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍۢ
Yaatooka bikulli sah haarin 'aleem
And bring the ablest magicians to you."
فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَٰتِ يَوْمٍۢ مَّعْلُومٍۢ
Fa jumi'as saharatu limeeqaati Yawmim ma'loom
So the magicians were assembled at a stated time and place on an appointed day.
وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ
Wa qeela linnaasi hal antum mujtami'oon
And the people were also asked to assemble.
لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ
La'allanaa nattabi'us saharata in kaanoo humul ghaalibeen
(They said): "We may haply follow the magicians if they are victorious."
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ
Falammaa jaaa'as saharatu qaaloo li Fir'awna a'inna lanaa la ajjran in kunnaa nahnul ghaalibeen
When the magicians arrived, they said to the Pharaoh: "Is there a reward for us if we are victorious?" --
قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ
Qaala na'am wa innakum izal laminal muqarrabeen
"Yes," he replied. "You 'will be among the honoured."
قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ
Qaala lahum Moosaaa alqoo maaa antum mulqoon
Moses said to them: "Cast what you have to cast."
فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ
Fa alqaw hibaalahum wa 'isiyyahum wa qaaloo bi'izzati Fir'awna innaa lanahnul ghaaliboon
So they cast their ropes and rods, and said: "By the glory of Pharaoh, we shall be victorious."
فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ
Fa alqaa Moosaa 'asaahu fa izaa hiya talqafu maa yaafikoon
Then Moses threw down his staff, and lo, it swallowed up their conjurations.
فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَٰجِدِينَ
Fa ulqiyas saharatu saajideen
Then the magicians fell prostrating in adoration,
قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Qaalooo aamannaa bi Rabbil 'aalameen
And said: "We (affirm and) believe in the Lord of all the worlds,
رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ
Rabbi Moosaa wa Haaroon
The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَٰفٍۢ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
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
Said (the Pharaoh): "You have come to believe in him before I gave you leave. He is surely your chief, who taught you magic. You will soon come to know: I will have your hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, and have every one of you crucified."
قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ
Qaaloo la daira innaaa ilaa Rabbinaa munqalliboon
They said: "There will be no harm. We shall return to our Lord.
إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Innaa natma'u ai yaghfira lanaa Rabbunna khataa yaanaaa an kunnaaa awwalal mu'mineen
We certainly hope our Lord will forgive our sins as we are the first to believe."
۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ
Wa awhainaaa ilaa Moosaaa an asri bi'ibaadeee innakum muttaba'oon
We said to Moses: "Travel by night with My creatures. You will surely be pursued."
فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ
Fa arsala Fir'awnu filmadaaa'ini haashireen
Then the Pharaoh sent announcers to the cities,
إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌۭ قَلِيلُونَ
Inna haaa'ulaaa'i lashir zimatun qaleeloon
(Proclaiming): "Surely they are a small band (of fugitives).
وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ
Wa innahum lanaa laghaaa'izoon
They are always harassing us.
وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ
Wa innaa lajamee'un haaziroon
But we are a fully accounted army."
فَأَخْرَجْنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ
Fa akhrajnaahum min Jannaatinw wa 'uyoon
So We made them leave the gardens and springs of water,
وَكُنُوزٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ
Wa kunoozinw wa ma qaamin kareem
And treasures and agreeable mansions.
كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
Kazaalika wa awrasnaahaa Baneee Israaa'eel
Thus it was; and We made the children of Israel possess them.
فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ
Fa atba'oohum mushriqeen
But they pursued them at sunrise.
فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ
Falammaa taraaa'al jam'aani qaala as haabu Moosaaa innaa lamudrakoon
When the two forces drew within seeing distance of each other, the people of Moses said: "We shall certainly be overtaken."
قَالَ كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ
Qaala kallaaa inna ma'iya Rabbee sa yahdeen
Moses replied: "By no means. My Lord is with me. He will show me the way."
فَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْبَحْرَ ۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍۢ كَٱلطَّوْدِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
Fa awhainaaa ilaa Moosaaa anidrib bi'asaakal bahra fanfalaqa fakaana kullu firqin kattawdil 'azeem
We commanded Moses: "Smite the sea with your staff." And it parted, and every parting was like a lofty mountain.
وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ
Wa azlafnaa sammal aakhareen
Then We brought the others to that place.
وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ
Wa anjainaa Moosaa wa mam ma'ahooo ajma'een
We delivered Moses and every one with him,
ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ
Summa aghraqnal aakhareen
And We drowned the others.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Inna fee zaalika la Aayaah; wa maa kaana aksaru hu mu'mineen
Verily there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Wa inna Rabbaka la Huwal 'Azeezur Raheem
Indeed your Lord is mighty and merciful.
وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ

(Abraham) asked: "Do they hear when you call them?

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

He said: "Have you considered what you have been worshipping,

But to him who comes to God with a tranquil heart."
وَأُزْلِفَتِ ٱلْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

Paradise will be brought near those who take heed for themselves and follow the straight path;

فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌۭ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ
Fa in asawka faqul innee bareee'um mimmmaa ta'maloon
If they do not obey you, tell them: "I am not responsible for what you do."
وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Wa tawakkal alal 'Azeezir Raheem
Have trust in the Mighty, the Merciful,
ٱلَّذِى يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ
Allazee yaraaka heena taqoom
Who watches you when you get up,
وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ
Wa taqallubaka fis saajideen
And your movements among those who bow in homage to God.
إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
Innahoo Huwas Samee'ul 'Aleem
He is all-hearing and all-knowing.
هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ
Hal unabbi'ukum 'alaa man tanazzalush Shayaateen
Should I tell you on whom the devils descend?
تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍۢ
Tanazzalu 'alaa kulli affaakin aseem
They come down to every mendacious sinner,
يُلْقُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَٰذِبُونَ
Yulqoonas sam'a wa aksaruhum aaziboon
Who listens to you (for spreading rumours); but most of them are liars.
وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلْغَاوُۥنَ
Washshu 'araaa'u yattabi 'uhumul ghaawoon
As for the poets, only those who go astray follow them.
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى كُلِّ وَادٍۢ يَهِيمُونَ
Alam tara annahum fee kulli waadiny yaheemoon
Have you not seen that they wander distract in every valley,
وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ
Wa annahum yaqooloona ma laa yaf'aloon
And they say what they do not do,
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًۭا وَٱنتَصَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَىَّ مُنقَلَبٍۢ يَنقَلِبُونَ
Illal lazeena aamanoo w a'amilus saalihaati wa zakarul laaha kaseeranw wantasaroo mim ba'di maa zulimoo; wa saya'lamul lazeena zalamooo aiya munqalbiny yanqaliboon
Except those who believe and do the right, and remember God a great deal, who retaliate only when they have been wronged. Yet the oppressors will now come to know through what reversals they will be overthrown!
