These are revelations of the Scripture that maketh plain.
Tilka ayatu alkitabi almubeeni
تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ

It may be that thou tormentest thyself (O Muhammad) because they believe not.
LaAAallaka bakhiAAun nafsaka alla yakoonoo mumineena
لَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ
Perhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.
If We will, We can send down on them from the sky a portent so that their necks would remain bowed before it.
In nasha nunazzil AAalayhim mina alssamai ayatan fathallat aAAnaquhum laha khadiAAeena

Never cometh there unto them a fresh reminder from the Beneficent One, but they turn away from it.

For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule.
Have they not seen the earth, how much of every fruitful kind We make to grow therein ?
Awalam yaraw ila alardi kam anbatna feeha min kulli zawjin kareemin
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍ

وَلَهُمْ عَلَيَّ ذَنبٌ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ

And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful."
He said: I did it then, when I was of those who are astray.

قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَا إِذًا وَأَنَا مِنَ الضَّالِّينَ

And this is the past favour wherewith thou reproachest me: that thou hast enslaved the Children of Israel.

Then he flung down his staff and it became a serpent manifest,

فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِينٌ
So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest.
And he drew forth his hand and lo! it was white to the beholders.

And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers.
(Pharaoh) said unto the chiefs about him: Lo! this is verily a knowing wizard,
Qala lilmalai hawlahu inna hatha lasahirun AAaleemun
قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَاحِرٌ عَلِيمٌ
[Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician.
Who would drive you out of your land by his magic. Now what counsel ye ?
Yureedu an yukhrijakum min ardikum bisihrihi famatha tamuroona
يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ
He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise?"
They said: Put him off, (him) and his brother, and send into the cities summoners
Qaloo arjih waakhahu waibAAath fee almadaini hashireena
قَالُوا أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَابْعَثْ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِينَ
They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers
Who shall bring unto thee every knowing wizard.
Yatooka bikulli sahharin AAaleemin
يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍ
Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician."
So the wizards were gathered together at a set time on a day appointed.
FajumiAAa alssaharatu limeeqati yawmin maAAloomin
فَجُمِعَ السَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well - known day.
And it was said unto the people: Are ye (also) gathering ?
Waqeela lilnnasi hal antum mujtamiAAoona
وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ
And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate
(They said): Aye, so that we may follow the wizards if they are the winners.

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ السَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا هُمُ الْغَالِبِينَ
That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"
And when the wizards came they said unto Pharaoh: Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners ?
Falamma jaa alssaharatu qaloo lifirAAawna ainna lana laajran in kunna nahnu alghalibeena
فَلَمَّا جَاءَ السَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغَالِبِينَ
And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?"
He said: Aye, and ye will then surely be of those brought near (to me).

Moses said unto them: Throw what ye are going to throw!
Qala lahum moosa alqoo ma antum mulqoona
قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰ أَلْقُوا مَا أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ
Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw."
Then they threw down their cords and their staves and said: By Pharaoh's might, lo! we verily are the winners.
Faalqaw hibalahum waAAisiyyahum waqaloo biAAizzati firAAawna inna lanahnu alghaliboona
فَأَلْقَوْا حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْغَالِبُونَ
So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant."
Then Moses threw his staff and lo! it swallowed that which they did falsely show.
Faalqa moosa AAasahu faitha hiya talqafu ma yafikoona
فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ
Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified.
And the wizards were flung prostrate,
Faolqiya alssaharatu sajideena
فَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سَاجِدِينَ
So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah].
Crying: We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,
Qaloo amanna birabbi alAAalameena
قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,
The Lord of Moses and Aaron.
Rabbi moosa waharoona
رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ
The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
(Pharaoh) said: Ye put your faith in him before I give you leave. Lo! he doubtless is your chief who taught you magic! But verily ye shall come to know. Verily I will cut off your hands and your feet alternately, and verily I will crucify you every one.
Qala amantum lahu qabla an athana lakum innahu lakabeerukumu allathee AAallamakumu alssihra falasawfa taAAlamoona laoqattiAAanna aydiyakum waarjulakum min khilafin walaosallibannakum ajmaAAeena

[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."
They said: It is no hurt, for lo! unto our Lord we shall return.
Qaloo la dayra inna ila rabbina munqaliboona
قَالُوا لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّا إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ
They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return.
Lo! we ardently hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we are the first of the believers.
Inna natmaAAu an yaghfira lana rabbuna khatayana an kunna awwala almumineena
إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَايَانَا أَن كُنَّا أَوَّلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers."
And We inspired Moses, saying: Take away My slaves by night, for ye will be pursued.
Waawhayna ila moosa an asri biAAibadee innakum muttabaAAoona
۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِي إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ
And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued."
Then Pharaoh sent into the cities summoners,
Faarsala firAAawnu fee almadaini hashireena
فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِينَ
Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers
(Who said): Lo! these indeed are but a little troop,
Inna haolai lashirthimatun qaleeloona
إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ
[And said], "Indeed, those are but a small band,
And lo! they are offenders against us.
Wainnahum lana laghaithoona
وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَائِظُونَ
And indeed, they are enraging us,
And lo! we are a ready host.
Wainna lajameeAAun hathiroona
وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَاذِرُونَ
And indeed, we are a cautious society... "
Thus did We take them away from gardens and watersprings,
Faakhrajnahum min jannatin waAAuyoonin
فَأَخْرَجْنَاهُم مِّن جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
So We removed them from gardens and springs
And treasures and a fair estate.
Wakunoozin wamaqamin kareemin
وَكُنُوزٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ
And treasures and honorable station -
Thus (were those things taken from them) and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them.
Kathalika waawrathnaha banee israeela
كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَاهَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ
Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel.
And they overtook them at sunrise.
FaatbaAAoohum mushriqeena
فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ
So they pursued them at sunrise.
And when the two hosts saw each other, those with Moses said: Lo! we are indeed caught.
Falamma taraa aljamAAani qala ashabu moosa inna lamudrakoona
فَلَمَّا تَرَاءَى الْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَابُ مُوسَىٰ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ
And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken!"
He said: Nay, verily! for lo! my Lord is with me. He will guide me.
Qala kalla inna maAAiya rabbee sayahdeeni
قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ
[Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me."
Then We inspired Moses, saying: Smite the sea with thy staff. And it parted, and each part was as a mountain vast.
Faawhayna ila moosa ani idrib biAAasaka albahra fainfalaqa fakana kullu firqin kaalttawdi alAAatheemi
فَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ أَنِ اضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ الْبَحْرَ ۖ فَانفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍ كَالطَّوْدِ الْعَظِيمِ
Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain.
Then brought We near the others to that place.
Waazlafna thamma alakhareena
وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ الْآخَرِينَ
And We advanced thereto the pursuers.
And We saved Moses and those with him, every one;
Waanjayna moosa waman maAAahu ajmaAAeena
وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُ أَجْمَعِينَ
And We saved Moses and those with him, all together.
And We drowned the others.
Thumma aghraqna alakhareena
ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا الْآخَرِينَ
Then We drowned the others.
Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers.
Inna fee thalika laayatan wama kana aktharuhum mumineena
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
And lo, thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.
Wainna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
Recite unto them the story of Abraham:
Waotlu AAalayhim nabaa ibraheema
وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ
And recite to them the news of Abraham,
When he said unto his father and his folk: What worship ye ?

Or do they benefit you, or do they harm?"
They said: Nay, but we found our fathers acting on this wise.

He said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping,
Ye and your forefathers!

And when I am ill, it is He who cures me
And Who causeth me to die, then giveth me life (again),

وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ أَشْيَاءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ
And do not deprive people of their due and do not commit abuse on earth, spreading corruption.

So cause to fall upon us fragments of the sky, if you should be of the truthful."
He said: My Lord is Best Aware of what ye do.
Qala rabbee aAAlamu bima taAAmaloona

He said, "My Lord is most knowing of what you do."
But they denied him, so there came on them the retribution of the day of gloom. Lo! it was the retribution of an awful day.
Fakaththaboohu faakhathahum AAathabu yawmi alththullati innahu kana AAathaba yawmin AAatheemin
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ الظُّلَّةِ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

Lo! herein is indeed a portent; yet most of them are not believers.
Inna fee thalika laayatan wama kana aktharuhum mumineena
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.
Wainna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ

Which the True Spirit hath brought down
Nazala bihi alrroohu alameenu
نَزَلَ بِهِ الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ
The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down
Upon thy heart, that thou mayst be (one) of the warners,

عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُنذِرِينَ
Upon your heart, [O Muhammad] - that you may be of the warners -

Wainnahu lafee zuburi alawwaleena
وَإِنَّهُ لَفِي زُبُرِ الْأَوَّلِينَ
And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples.
Is it not a token for them that the doctors of the Children of Israel know it ?
Awalam yakun lahum ayatan an yaAAlamahu AAulamao banee israeela
أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ آيَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُ عُلَمَاءُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ

And if We had revealed it unto one of any other nation than the Arabs,
Walaw nazzalnahu AAala baAAdi alaAAjameena
وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَاهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ الْأَعْجَمِينَ
And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners
And he had read it unto them, they would not have believed in it.
Faqaraahu AAalayhim ma kanoo bihi mumineena
فَقَرَأَهُ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا بِهِ مُؤْمِنِينَ
And he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it.
Thus do We make it traverse the hearts of the guilty.
Kathalika salaknahu fee quloobi almujrimeena
كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَاهُ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ

لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا الْعَذَابَ الْأَلِيمَ
They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.
So that it will come upon them suddenly, when they perceive not.
Fayatiyahum baghtatan wahum la yashAAuroona
فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not.
Then they will say: Are we to be reprieved ?
Fayaqooloo hal nahnu muntharoona
فَيَقُولُوا هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ
And they will say, "May we be reprieved?"
Would they (now) hasten on Our doom ?
AfabiAAathabina yastaAAjiloona
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
So for Our punishment are they impatient?
Hast thou then seen, if We content them for (long) years,
Afaraayta in mattaAAnahum sineena
أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَاهُمْ سِنِينَ
Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years
And then cometh that which they were promised,
Thumma jaahum ma kanoo yooAAadoona
ثُمَّ جَاءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا يُوعَدُونَ
And then there came to them that which they were promised?
(How) that wherewith they were contented naught availeth them ?
Ma aghna AAanhum ma kanoo yumattaAAoona
مَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يُمَتَّعُونَ
They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.
And We destroyed no township but it had its warners
Wama ahlakna min qaryatin illa laha munthiroona
وَمَا أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ
And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners
For reminder, for We never were oppressors.
Thikra wama kunna thalimeena
ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ
As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.
The devils did not bring it down.
Wama tanazzalat bihi alshshayateenu
وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ الشَّيَاطِينُ
And the devils have not brought the revelation down.
It is not meet for them, nor is it in their power,
Wama yanbaghee lahum wama yastateeAAoona
وَمَا يَنبَغِي لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ
It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able.
Lo! verily they are banished from the hearing.
Innahum AAani alssamAAi lamaAAzooloona
إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ

Therefor invoke not with Allah another god, lest thou be one of the doomed.
Fala tadAAu maAAa Allahi ilahan akhara fatakoona mina almuAAaththabeena
فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا آخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُعَذَّبِينَ
So do not invoke with Allah another deity and [thus] be among the punished.
And warn thy tribe of near kindred,
Waanthir AAasheerataka alaqrabeena
وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الْأَقْرَبِينَ
And warn, [O Muhammad], your closest kindred.
And lower thy wing (in kindness) unto those believers who follow thee.
Waikhfid janahaka limani ittabaAAaka mina almumineena
وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
And lower your wing to those who follow you of the believers.
And if they (thy kinsfolk) disobey thee, say: Lo! I am innocent of what they do.
Fain AAasawka faqul innee bareeon mimma taAAmaloona
فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ
And if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing."
And put thy trust in the Mighty, the Merciful.
Watawakkal AAala alAAazeezi alrraheemi
وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى الْعَزِيزِ الرَّحِيمِ
And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,
Who seeth thee when thou standest up (to pray)
Allathee yaraka heena taqoomu
الَّذِي يَرَاكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ
Who sees you when you arise
And (seeth) thine abasement among those who fall prostrate (in worship).
Wataqallubaka fee alssajideena
وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِي السَّاجِدِينَ
And your movement among those who prostrate.
Lo! He, only He, is the Hearer, the Knower.
Innahu huwa alssameeAAu alAAaleemu
إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

Hal onabbiokum AAala man tanazzalu alshshayateenu
هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ الشَّيَاطِينُ
Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?
They descend on every sinful, false one.
Tanazzalu AAala kulli affakin atheemin
تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ
They descend upon every sinful liar.
They listen eagerly, but most of them are liars.
Yulqoona alssamAAa waaktharuhum kathiboona
يُلْقُونَ السَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَاذِبُونَ
They pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars.
As for poets, the erring follow them.
WaalshshuAAarao yattabiAAuhumu alghawoona
وَالشُّعَرَاءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الْغَاوُونَ
And the poets - [only] the deviators follow them;
Hast thou not seen how they stray in every valley,
Alam tara annahum fee kulli wadin yaheemoona
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِي كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ
Do you not see that in every valley they roam
And how they say that which they do not ?
Waannahum yaqooloona ma la yafAAaloona
وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ
And that they say what they do not do? -
Save those who believe and do good works, and remember Allah much, and vindicate themselves after they have been wronged. Those who do wrong will come to know by what a (great) reverse they will be overturned!
Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati wathakaroo Allaha katheeran waintasaroo min baAAdi ma thulimoo wasayaAAlamu allatheena thalamoo ayya munqalabin yanqaliboona
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَانتَصَرُوا مِن بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ
Except those [poets] who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allah often and defend [the Muslims] after they were wronged. And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned.
