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

2 Ma anzalna AAalayka alqurana litashqa

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

3 Illa tathkiratan liman yakhsha

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

4 Tanzeelan mimman khalaqa alarda waalssamawati alAAula

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

5 Alrrahmanu AAala alAAarshi istawa

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 Lahu ma fee alssamawati wama fee alardi wama baynahuma wama tahta alththara

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

7 Wain tajhar bialqawli fainnahu yaAAlamu alssirra waakhfa

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

8 Allahu la ilaha illa huwa lahu alasmao alhusna

9 And has the story of Moses reached you? -

9 Wahal ataka hadeethu moosa

10 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."

10 Ith raa naran faqala liahlihi omkuthoo innee anastu naran laAAallee ateekum minha biqabasin aw ajidu AAala alnnari hudan

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

11 Falamma ataha noodiya ya moosa

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

12 Innee ana rabbuka faikhlaAA naAAlayka innaka bialwadi almuqaddasi tuwan

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

13 Waana ikhtartuka faistamiAA lima yooha

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

14 Innanee ana Allahu la ilaha illa ana faoAAbudnee waaqimi alssalata lithikree

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 Inna alssaAAata atiyatun akadu okhfeeha litujza kullu nafsin bima tasAAa

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

16 Fala yasuddannaka AAanha man la yuminu biha waittabaAAa hawahu fatarda

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

17 Wama tilka biyameenika ya moosa

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

18 Qala hiya AAasaya atawakkao AAalayha waahushshu biha AAala ghanamee waliya feeha maaribu okhra

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

19 Qala alqiha ya moosa

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

20 Faalqaha faitha hiya hayyatun tasAAa

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

21 Qala khuthha wala takhaf sanuAAeeduha seerataha aloola

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

22 Waodmum yadaka ila janahika takhruj baydaa min ghayri sooin ayatan okhra

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

23 Linuriyaka min ayatina alkubra

24 Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed."

24 Ithhab ila firAAawna innahu tagha

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

25 Qala rabbi ishrah lee sadree

26 And ease for me my task

26 Wayassir lee amree

27 And untie the knot from my tongue

27 Waohlul AAuqdatan min lisanee

28 That they may understand my speech.

28 Yafqahoo qawlee

29 And appoint for me a minister from my family -

29 WaijAAal lee wazeeran min ahlee

30 Aaron, my brother.

30 Haroona akhee

31 Increase through him my strength

31 Oshdud bihi azree

32 And let him share my task

32 Waashrikhu fee amree

33 That we may exalt You much

33 Kay nusabbihaka katheeran

34 And remember You much.

34 Wanathkuraka katheeran

35 Indeed, You are of us ever Seeing."

35 Innaka kunta bina baseeran

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

36 Qala qad ooteeta sulaka ya moosa

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

37 Walaqad mananna AAalayka marratan okhra

38 When We inspired to your mother what We inspired,

38 Ith awhayna ila ommika ma yooha

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 bestowed upon you love from Me that you would be brought up under My eye.

39 Ani iqthifeehi fee alttabooti faiqthifeehi fee alyammi falyulqihi alyammu bialssahili yakhuthhu AAaduwwun lee waAAaduwwun lahu waalqaytu AAalayka mahabbatan minnee walitusnaAAa AAala AAaynee

40 [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.

40 Ith tamshee okhtuka fataqoolu hal adullukum AAala man yakfuluhu farajaAAnaka ila ommika kay taqarra AAaynuha wala tahzana waqatalta nafsan fanajjaynaka mina alghammi wafatannaka futoonan falabithta sineena fee ahli madyana thumma jita AAala qadarin ya moosa

41 And I produced you for Myself.

41 WaistanaAAtuka linafsee

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

42 Ithhab anta waakhooka biayatee wala taniya fee thikree

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

43 Ithhaba ila firAAawna innahu tagha

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

44 Faqoola lahu qawlan layyinan laAAallahu yatathakkaru aw yakhsha

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

45 Qala rabbana innana nakhafu an yafruta AAalayna aw an yatgha

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

46 Qala la takhafa innanee maAAakuma asmaAAu waara

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 Fatiyahu faqoola inna rasoola rabbika faarsil maAAana banee israeela wala tuAAaththibhum qad jinaka biayatin min rabbika waalssalamu AAala mani ittabaAAa alhuda

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

48 Inna qad oohiya ilayna anna alAAathaba AAala man kaththaba watawalla

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

49 Qala faman rabbukuma ya moosa

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

50 Qala rabbuna allathee aAAta kulla shayin khalqahu thumma hada

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

51 Qala fama balu alqurooni aloola

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

52 Qala AAilmuha AAinda rabbee fee kitabin la yadillu rabbee wala yansa

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, rain and produced thereby categories of various plants.

53 Allathee jaAAala lakumu alarda mahdan wasalaka lakum feeha subulan waanzala mina alssamai maan faakhrajna bihi azwajan min nabatin shatta

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

54 Kuloo wairAAaw anAAamakum inna fee thalika laayatin liolee alnnuha

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

55 Minha khalaqnakum wafeeha nuAAeedukum waminha nukhrijukum taratan okhra

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

56 Walaqad araynahu ayatina kullaha fakaththaba waaba

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

57 Qala ajitana litukhrijana min ardina bisihrika ya moosa

58 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."

58 Falanatiyannaka bisihrin mithlihi faijAAal baynana wabaynaka mawAAidan la nukhlifuhu nahnu wala anta makanan suwan

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

59 Qala mawAAidukum yawmu alzzeenati waan yuhshara alnnasu duhan

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

60 Fatawalla firAAawnu fajamaAAa kaydahu thumma ata

61 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]."

61 Qala lahum moosa waylakum la taftaroo AAala Allahi kathiban fayushitakum biAAathabin waqad khaba mani iftara

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

62 FatanazaAAoo amrahum baynahum waasarroo alnnajwa

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 most exemplary way.

63 Qaloo in hathani lasahirani yureedani an yukhrijakum min ardikum bisihrihima wayathhaba bitareeqatikumu almuthla

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

64 FaajmiAAoo kaydakum thumma itoo saffan waqad aflaha alyawma mani istaAAla

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

65 Qaloo ya moosa imma an tulqiya waimma an nakoona awwala man alqa

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

66 Qala bal alqoo faitha hibaluhum waAAisiyyuhum yukhayyalu ilayhi min sihrihim annaha tasAAa

67 And he sensed within himself apprehension, did Moses.

67 Faawjasa fee nafsihi kheefatan moosa

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

68 Qulna la takhaf innaka anta alaAAla

69 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."

69 Waalqi ma fee yameenika talqaf ma sanaAAoo innama sanaAAoo kaydu sahirin wala yuflihu alssahiru haythu ata

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

70 Faolqiya alssaharatu sujjadan qaloo amanna birabbi haroona wamoosa

71 [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."

71 Qala amantum lahu qabla an athana lakum innahu lakabeerukumu allathee AAallamakumu alssihra falaoqattiAAanna aydiyakum waarjulakum min khilafin walaosallibannakum fee juthooAAi alnnakhli walataAAlamunna ayyuna ashaddu AAathaban waabqa

72 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.

72 Qaloo lan nuthiraka AAala ma jaana mina albayyinati waallathee fatarana faiqdi ma anta qadin innama taqdee hathihi alhayata alddunya

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 enduring."

73 Inna amanna birabbina liyaghfira lana khatayana wama akrahtana AAalayhi mina alssihri waAllahu khayrun waabqa

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

74 Innahu man yati rabbahu mujriman fainna lahu jahannama la yamootu feeha wala yahya

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

75 Waman yatihi muminan qad AAamila alssalihati faolaika lahumu alddarajatu alAAula

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

76 Jannatu AAadnin tajree min tahtiha alanharu khalideena feeha wathalika jazao man tazakka

77 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]."

77 Walaqad awhayna ila moosa an asri biAAibadee faidrib lahum tareeqan fee albahri yabasan la takhafu darakan wala takhsha

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

78 FaatbaAAahum firAAawnu bijunoodihi faghashiyahum mina alyammi ma ghashiyahum

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

79 Waadalla firAAawnu qawmahu wama hada

80 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,

80 Ya banee israeela qad anjaynakum min AAaduwwikum wawaAAadnakum janiba alttoori alaymana wanazzalna AAalaykumu almanna waalssalwa

81 [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."

81 Kuloo min tayyibati ma razaqnakum wala tatghaw feehi fayahilla AAalaykum ghadabee waman yahlil AAalayhi ghadabee faqad hawa

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

82 Wainnee laghaffarun liman taba waamana waAAamila salihan thumma ihtada

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

83 Wama aAAjalaka AAan qawmika ya moosa

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

84 Qala hum olai AAala atharee waAAajiltu ilayka rabbi litarda

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

85 Qala fainna qad fatanna qawmaka min baAAdika waadallahumu alssamiriyyu

86 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?"

86 FarajaAAa moosa ila qawmihi ghadbana asifan qala ya qawmi alam yaAAidkum rabbukum waAAdan hasanan afatala AAalaykumu alAAahdu am aradtum an yahilla AAalaykum ghadabun min rabbikum faakhlaftum mawAAidee

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 people [of Pharaoh], so we threw them [into the fire], and thus did the Samiri throw."

87 Qaloo ma akhlafna mawAAidaka bimalkina walakinna hummilna awzaran min zeenati alqawmi faqathafnaha fakathalika alqa alssamiriyyu

88 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."

88 Faakhraja lahum AAijlan jasadan lahu khuwarun faqaloo hatha ilahukum wailahu moosa fanasiya

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 benefit?

89 Afala yarawna alla yarjiAAu ilayhim qawlan wala yamliku lahum darran wala nafAAan

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 order."

90 Walaqad qala lahum haroonu min qablu ya qawmi innama futintum bihi wainna rabbakumu alrrahmanu faittabiAAoonee waateeAAoo amree

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

91 Qaloo lan nabraha AAalayhi AAakifeena hatta yarjiAAa ilayna moosa

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

92 Qala ya haroonu ma manaAAaka ith raaytahum dalloo

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

93 Alla tattabiAAani afaAAasayta amree

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 caused division among the Children of Israel, and you did not observe [or await] my word.' "

94 Qala ya bna omma la takhuth bilihyatee wala birasee innee khasheetu an taqoola farraqta bayna banee israeela walam tarqub qawlee

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

95 Qala fama khatbuka ya samiriyyu

96 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."

96 Qala basurtu bima lam yabsuroo bihi faqabadtu qabdatan min athari alrrasooli fanabathtuha wakathalika sawwalat lee nafsee

97 [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.

97 Qala faithhab fainna laka fee alhayati an taqoola la misasa wainna laka mawAAidan lan tukhlafahu waonthur ila ilahika allathee thalta AAalayhi AAakifan lanuharriqannahu thumma lanansifannahu fee alyammi nasfan

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

98 Innama ilahukumu Allahu allathee la ilaha illa huwa wasiAAa kulla shayin AAilman

99 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.

99 Kathalika naqussu AAalayka min anbai ma qad sabaqa waqad ataynaka min ladunna thikran

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

100 Man aAArada AAanhu fainnahu yahmilu yawma alqiyamati wizran

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

101 Khalideena feehi wasaa lahum yawma alqiyamati himlan

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

102 Yawma yunfakhu fee alssoori wanahshuru almujrimeena yawmaithin zurqan

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

103 Yatakhafatoona baynahum in labithtum illa AAashran

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

104 Nahnu aAAlamu bima yaqooloona ith yaqoolu amthaluhum tareeqatan in labithtum illa yawman

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

105 Wayasaloonaka AAani aljibali faqul yansifuha rabbee nasfan

106 And He will leave the earth a level plain;

106 Fayatharuha qaAAan safsafan

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

107 La tara feeha AAiwajan wala amtan

108 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].

108 Yawmaithin yattabiAAoona alddaAAiya la AAiwaja lahu wakhashaAAati alaswatu lilrrahmani fala tasmaAAu illa hamsan

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

109 Yawmaithin la tanfaAAu alshshafaAAatu illa man athina lahu alrrahmanu waradiya lahu qawlan

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

110 YaAAlamu ma bayna aydeehim wama khalfahum wala yuheetoona bihi AAilman

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

111 WaAAanati alwujoohu lilhayyi alqayyoomi waqad khaba man hamala thulman

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

112 Waman yaAAmal mina alssalihati wahuwa muminun fala yakhafu thulman wala hadman

113 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.

113 Wakathalika anzalnahu quranan AAarabiyyan wasarrafna feehi mina alwaAAeedi laAAallahum yattaqoona aw yuhdithu lahum thikran

114 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."

114 FataAAala Allahu almaliku alhaqqu wala taAAjal bialqurani min qabli an yuqda ilayka wahyuhu waqul rabbi zidnee AAilman

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

115 Walaqad AAahidna ila adama min qablu fanasiya walam najid lahu AAazman

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

116 Waith qulna lilmalaikati osjudoo liadama fasajadoo illa ibleesa aba

117 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.

117 Faqulna ya adamu inna hatha AAaduwwun laka walizawjika fala yukhrijannakuma mina aljannati fatashqa

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

118 Inna laka alla tajooAAa feeha wala taAAra

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

119 Waannaka la tathmao feeha wala tadha

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

120 Fawaswasa ilayhi alshshaytanu qala ya adamu hal adulluka AAala shajarati alkhuldi wamulkin la yabla

121 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.

121 Faakala minha fabadat lahuma sawatuhuma watafiqa yakhsifani AAalayhima min waraqi aljannati waAAasa adamu rabbahu faghawa

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

122 Thumma ijtabahu rabbuhu fataba AAalayhi wahada

123 [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].

123 Qala ihbita minha jameeAAan baAAdukum libaAAdin AAaduwwun faimma yatiyannakum minnee hudan famani ittabaAAa hudaya fala yadillu wala yashqa

124 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."

124 Waman aAArada AAan thikree fainna lahu maAAeeshatan dankan wanahshuruhu yawma alqiyamati aAAman

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

125 Qala rabbi lima hashartanee aAAma waqad kuntu baseeran

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

126 Qala kathalika atatka ayatuna fanaseetaha wakathalika alyawma tunsa

127 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.

127 Wakathalika najzee man asrafa walam yumin biayati rabbihi walaAAathabu alakhirati ashaddu waabqa

128 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.

128 Afalam yahdi lahum kam ahlakna qablahum mina alqurooni yamshoona fee masakinihim inna fee thalika laayatin liolee alnnuha

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 Walawla kalimatun sabaqat min rabbika lakana lizaman waajalun musamman

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 Faisbir AAala ma yaqooloona wasabbih bihamdi rabbika qabla tulooAAi alshshamsi waqabla ghuroobiha wamin anai allayli fasabbih waatrafa alnnahari laAAallaka tarda

131 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.

131 Wala tamuddanna AAaynayka ila ma mattaAAna bihi azwajan minhum zahrata alhayati alddunya linaftinahum feehi warizqu rabbika khayrun waabqa
