These are verses of the Book that makes (things) clear.
تلك آيات الكتاب المبين
These are the verses of the clear Book.
تِلْكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
Perhaps you will kill yourself with grief because they do not believe.
It may be thou frettest thy soul with grief, that they do not become Believers.
لعلك باخع نفسك ألا يكونوا مؤمنين
Perhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.
لَعَلَّكَ بَٰخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ
If We please, We should send down upon them a sign from the heaven so that their necks should stoop to it.
If (such) were Our Will, We could send down to them from the sky a Sign, to which they would bend their necks in humility.
إن نشأ ننزل عليهم من السماء آية فظلت أعناقهم لها خاضعين
If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.
إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَٰقُهُمْ لَهَا خَٰضِعِينَ
And there does not come to them a new reminder from the Beneficent Allah but they turn aside from it.
But there comes not to them a newly - revealed Message from (Allah) Most Gracious, but they turn away therefrom.
وما يأتيهم من ذكر من الرحمن محدث إلا كانوا عنه معرضين
And no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.
وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ
So they have indeed rejected (the truth), therefore the news of that which they mock shall soon come to them.
They have indeed rejected (the Message): so they will know soon (enough) the truth of what they mocked at!
فقد كذبوا فسيأتيهم أنباء ما كانوا به يستهزئون
For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule.
فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنۢبَٰٓؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ
Do they not see the earth, how many of every noble kind We have caused to grow in it?
Do they not look at the earth, - how many noble things of all kinds We have produced therein?
أولم يروا إلى الأرض كم أنبتنا فيها من كل زوج كريم
Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind?
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍ
Most surely there is a sign in that, but most of them will not believe.
Verily, in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.
إن في ذلك لآية ۖ وما كان أكثرهم مؤمنين
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
And verily, thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
وإن ربك لهو العزيز الرحيم
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
And when your Lord called out to Musa, saying: Go to the unjust people,
Behold, thy Lord called Moses: "Go to the people of iniquity, -
وإذ نادى ربك موسى أن ائت القوم الظالمين
And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people -
وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئْتِ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ
The people of Firon: Will they not guard (against evil)?
"The people of the Pharaoh: will they not fear Allah?"
قوم فرعون ۚ ألا يتقون
The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allah?"
قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ
He said: O my Lord! surely I fear that they will reject me;
He said: "O my Lord! I do fear that they will charge me with falsehood:
قال رب إني أخاف أن يكذبون
He said, "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ
And by breast straitens, and my tongue is not eloquent, therefore send Thou to Haroun (to help me);
"My breast will be straitened. And my speech may not go (smoothly): so send unto Aaron.
ويضيق صدري ولا ينطلق لساني فأرسل إلى هارون
And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron.
وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِى وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِى فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَٰرُونَ
And they have a crime against me, therefore I fear that they may slay me.
"And (further), they have a charge of crime against me; and I fear they may slay me."
ولهم علي ذنب فأخاف أن يقتلون
And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me."
وَلَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنۢبٌ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ
He said: By no means, so go you both with Our signs; surely We are with you, hearing;
Allah said: "By no means! proceed then, both of you, with Our Signs; We are with you, and will listen (to your call).
قال كلا ۖ فاذهبا بآياتنا ۖ إنا معكم مستمعون
[Allah] said, "No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening.
قَالَ كَلَّا فَٱذْهَبَا بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ
Then come to Firon and say: Surely we are the apostles of the Lord of the worlds:
"So go forth, both of you, to Pharaoh, and say: 'We have been sent by the Lord and Cherisher of the worlds;
فأتيا فرعون فقولا إنا رسول رب العالمين
Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds,
فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Then send with us the children of Israel.
"'Send thou with us the Children of Israel.'"
أن أرسل معنا بني إسرائيل
[Commanded to say], "Send with us the Children of Israel."'"
أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
(Firon) said: Did we not bring you up as a child among us, and you tarried among us for (many) years of your life?
(Pharaoh) said: "Did we not cherish thee as a child among us, and didst thou not stay in our midst many years of thy life?
قال ألم نربك فينا وليدا ولبثت فينا من عمرك سنين
[Pharaoh] said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life?
قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ
And you did (that) deed of yours which you did, and you are one of the ungrateful.
"And thou didst a deed of thine which (thou knowest) thou didst, and thou art an ungrateful (wretch)!"
وفعلت فعلتك التي فعلت وأنت من الكافرين
And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful."
وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِى فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ
He said: I did it then while I was of those unable to see the right course;
Moses said: "I did it then, when I was in error.
قال فعلتها إذا وأنا من الضالين
[Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray.
قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَآ إِذًا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ
So I fled from you when I feared you, then my Lord granted me wisdom and made me of the apostles;
"So I fled from you (all) when I feared you; but my Lord has (since) invested me with judgment (and wisdom) and appointed me as one of the messengers.
ففررت منكم لما خفتكم فوهب لي ربي حكما وجعلني من المرسلين
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.
فَفَرَرْتُ مِنكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِى رَبِّى حُكْمًا وَجَعَلَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
And is it a favor of which you remind me that you have enslaved the children of Israel?
"And this is the favour with which thou dost reproach me, - that thou hast enslaved the Children of Israel!"
وتلك نعمة تمنها علي أن عبدت بني إسرائيل
And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?"
وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
Firon said: And what is the Lord of the worlds?
Pharaoh said: "And what is the 'Lord and Cherisher of the worlds'?"
قال فرعون وما رب العالمين
Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds?"
قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
He said: The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you would be sure.
(Moses) said: "The Lord and Cherisher of the heavens and the earth, and all between, - if ye want to be quite sure."
قال رب السماوات والأرض وما بينهما ۖ إن كنتم موقنين
[Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced."
قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ
(Firon) said to those around him: Do you not hear?
(Pharaoh) said to those around: "Did ye not listen (to what he says)?"
قال لمن حوله ألا تستمعون
[Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear?"
قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ
He said: Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of old.
(Moses) said: "Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers from the beginning!"
قال ربكم ورب آبائكم الأولين
[Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers."
قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Said he: Most surely your Apostle who is sent to you is mad.
(Pharaoh) said: "Truly your messenger who has been sent to you is a veritable madman!"
قال إن رسولكم الذي أرسل إليكم لمجنون
[Pharaoh] said, "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad."
قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌ
He said: The Lord of the east and the west and what is between them, if you understand.
(Moses) said: "Lord of the East and the West, and all between! if ye only had sense!"
قال رب المشرق والمغرب وما بينهما ۖ إن كنتم تعقلون
[Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason."
قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ
Said he: If you will take a god besides me, I will most certainly make you one of the imprisoned.
(Pharaoh) said: "If thou dost put forward any god other than me, I will certainly put thee in prison!"
قال لئن اتخذت إلها غيري لأجعلنك من المسجونين
[Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned."
قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذْتَ إِلَٰهًا غَيْرِى لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَسْجُونِينَ
He said: What! even if I bring to you something manifest?
(Moses) said: "Even if I showed you something clear (and) convincing?"
قال أولو جئتك بشيء مبين
[Moses] said, "Even if I brought you proof manifest?"
قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَىْءٍ مُّبِينٍ
Said he: Bring it then, if you are of the truthful ones.
(Pharaoh) said: "Show it then, if thou tellest the truth!"
قال فأت به إن كنت من الصادقين
[Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful."
قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ
So he cast down his rod, and lo! it was an obvious serpent,
So (Moses) threw his rod, and behold, it was a serpent, plain (for all to see)!
فألقى عصاه فإذا هي ثعبان مبين
So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest.
فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِينٌ
And he drew forth his hand, and lo! it appeared white to the onlookers.
And he drew out his hand, and behold, it was white to all beholders!
ونزع يده فإذا هي بيضاء للناظرين
And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers.
وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ
(Firon) said to the chiefs around him: Most surely this is a skillful magician,
(Pharaoh) said to the Chiefs around him: "This is indeed a sorcerer well - versed:
قال للملإ حوله إن هذا لساحر عليم
[Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician.
قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌ
Who desires to turn you out of your land with his magic; what is it then that you advise?
"His plan is to get you out of your land by his sorcery; then what is it ye counsel?"
يريد أن يخرجكم من أرضكم بسحره فماذا تأمرون
He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise?"
يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ
They said: Give him and his brother respite and send heralds into the cities
They said: "Keep him and his brother in suspense (for a while), and dispatch to the Cities heralds to collect -
قالوا أرجه وأخاه وابعث في المدائن حاشرين
They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers
قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبْعَثْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ
That they should bring to you every skillful magician.
"And bring up to thee all (our) sorcerers well - versed."
يأتوك بكل سحار عليم
Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician."
يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍ
So the magicians were gathered together at the appointed time on the fixed day,
So the sorcerers were got together for the appointment of a day well - known,
فجمع السحرة لميقات يوم معلوم
So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well - known day.
فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
And it was said to the people: Will you gather together?
And the people were told: "Are ye (now) assembled? -
وقيل للناس هل أنتم مجتمعون
And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate
وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ
Haply we may follow the magicians, if they are the vanquishers.
"That we may follow the sorcerers (in religion) if they win?"
لعلنا نتبع السحرة إن كانوا هم الغالبين
That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"
لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ
And when the magicians came, they said to Firon: Shall we get a reward if we are the vanquishers?
So when the sorcerers arrived, they said to Pharaoh: "Of course - shall we have a (suitable) reward if we win?
فلما جاء السحرة قالوا لفرعون أئن لنا لأجرا إن كنا نحن الغالبين
And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?"
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ
He said: Yes, and surely you will then be of those who are made near.
He said: "Yea, (and more), - for ye shall in that case be (raised to posts) nearest (to my person)."
قال نعم وإنكم إذا لمن المقربين
He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]."
قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ
Musa said to them: Cast what you are going to cast.
Moses said to them: "Throw ye - that which ye are about to throw!"
قال لهم موسى ألقوا ما أنتم ملقون
Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw."
قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ
So they cast down their cords and their rods and said: By Firon's power, we shall most surely be victorious.
So they threw their ropes and their rods, and said: "By the might of Pharaoh, it is we who will certainly win!"
فألقوا حبالهم وعصيهم وقالوا بعزة فرعون إنا لنحن الغالبون
So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant."
فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ
Then Musa cast down his staff and lo! it swallowed up the lies they told.
Then Moses threw his rod, when, behold, it straightway swallows up all the falsehoods which they fake!
فألقى موسى عصاه فإذا هي تلقف ما يأفكون
Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified.
فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ
And the magicians were thrown down prostrate;
Then did the sorcerers fall down, prostrate in adoration,
فألقي السحرة ساجدين
So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah].
فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَٰجِدِينَ
They said: We believe in the Lord of the worlds:
Saying: "We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,
قالوا آمنا برب العالمين
They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,
قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
The Lord of Musa and Haroun.
"The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
رب موسى وهارون
The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ
Said he: You believe in him before I give you permission; most surely he is the chief of you who taught you the magic, so you shall know: certainly I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and certainly I will crucify you all.
Said (Pharaoh): "Believe ye in Him before I give you permission? surely he is your leader, who has taught you sorcery! but soon shall ye know! Be sure I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will cause you all to die on the cross!"
قال آمنتم له قبل أن آذن لكم ۖ إنه لكبيركم الذي علمكم السحر فلسوف تعلمون ۚ لأقطعن أيديكم وأرجلكم من خلاف ولأصلبنكم أجمعين
[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."
قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَٰفٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
They said: No harm; surely to our Lord we go back;
They said: "No matter! for us, we shall but return to our Lord!
قالوا لا ضير ۖ إنا إلى ربنا منقلبون
They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return.
قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ
Surely we hope that our Lord will forgive us our wrongs because we are the first of the believers.
"Only, our desire is that our Lord will forgive us our faults, that we may become foremost among the believers!"
إنا نطمع أن يغفر لنا ربنا خطايانا أن كنا أول المؤمنين
Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers."
إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
And We revealed to Musa, saying: Go away with My servants travelling by night, surely you will be pursued.
By inspiration we told Moses: "Travel by night with my servants; for surely ye shall be pursued."
۞ وأوحينا إلى موسى أن أسر بعبادي إنكم متبعون
And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued."
وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ
So Firon sent heralds into the cities;
Then Pharaoh sent heralds to (all) the Cities,
فأرسل فرعون في المدائن حاشرين
Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers
فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ
Most surely these are a small company;
(Saying): "These (Israelites) are but a small band,
إن هؤلاء لشرذمة قليلون
[And said], "Indeed, those are but a small band,
إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ
And most surely they have enraged us;
"And they are raging furiously against us;
وإنهم لنا لغائظون
And indeed, they are enraging us,
وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ
And most surely we are a vigilant multitude.
"But we are a multitude amply fore - warned."
وإنا لجميع حاذرون
And indeed, we are a cautious society... "
وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ
So We turned them out of gardens and springs,
So We expelled them from gardens, springs,
فأخرجناهم من جنات وعيون
So We removed them from gardens and springs
فَأَخْرَجْنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
And treasures and goodly dwellings,
Treasures, and every kind of honourable position;
وكنوز ومقام كريم
And treasures and honorable station -
وَكُنُوزٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ
Even so. And We gave them as a heritage to the children of Israel.
Thus it was, but We made the Children of Israel inheritors of such things.
كذلك وأورثناها بني إسرائيل
Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel.
كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
Then they pursued them at sunrise.
So they pursued them at sunrise.
فأتبعوهم مشرقين
So they pursued them at sunrise.
فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ
So when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Musa cried out: Most surely we are being overtaken.
And when the two bodies saw each other, the people of Moses said: "We are sure to be overtaken."
فلما تراءى الجمعان قال أصحاب موسى إنا لمدركون
And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken!"
فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ
He said: By no means; surely my Lord is with me: He will show me a way out.
(Moses) said: "By no means! my Lord is with me! Soon will He guide me!"
قال كلا ۖ إن معي ربي سيهدين
[Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me."
قَالَ كَلَّآ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ
Then We revealed to Musa: Strike the sea with your staff. So it had cloven asunder, and each part was like a huge mound.
Then We told Moses by inspiration: "Strike the sea with thy rod." So it divided, and each separate part became like the huge, firm mass of a mountain.
فأوحينا إلى موسى أن اضرب بعصاك البحر ۖ فانفلق فكان كل فرق كالطود العظيم
Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain.
فَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْبَحْرَ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍ كَٱلطَّوْدِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
And We brought near, there, the others.
And We made the other party approach thither.
وأزلفنا ثم الآخرين
And We advanced thereto the pursuers.
وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ
And We saved Musa and those with him, all of them.
We delivered Moses and all who were with him;
وأنجينا موسى ومن معه أجمعين
And We saved Moses and those with him, all together.
وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ
Then We drowned the others.
But We drowned the others.
ثم أغرقنا الآخرين
Then We drowned the others.
ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ
Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.
Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.
إن في ذلك لآية ۖ وما كان أكثرهم مؤمنين
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

You are but a man like ourselves, so bring a sign, if you should be of the truthful."
مَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا فَأْتِ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ
He said: This is a she - camel; she shall have her portion of water, and you have your portion of water on an appointed time;
He said: "Here is a she - camel: she has a right of watering, and ye have a right of watering, (severally) on a day appointed.
قال هذه ناقة لها شرب ولكم شرب يوم معلوم
He said, "This is a she - camel. For her is a [time of] drink, and for you is a [time of] drink, [each] on a known day.
قَالَ هَٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةٌ لَّهَا شِرْبٌ وَلَكُمْ شِرْبُ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
And do not touch her with evil, lest the punishment of a grievous day should overtake you.
"Touch her not with harm, lest the Penalty of a Great Day seize you."
ولا تمسوها بسوء فيأخذكم عذاب يوم عظيم
And do not touch her with harm, lest you be seized by the punishment of a terrible day."
وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
But they hamstrung her, then regretted;
But they ham - strung her: then did they become full of regrets.
فعقروها فأصبحوا نادمين
But they hamstrung her and so became regretful.
فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ نَٰدِمِينَ
So the punishment overtook them. Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.
But the Penalty seized them. Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.
فأخذهم العذاب ۗ إن في ذلك لآية ۖ وما كان أكثرهم مؤمنين
And the punishment seized them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
وإن ربك لهو العزيز الرحيم
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

The people of Lut rejected the messengers.
كذبت قوم لوط المرسلين

وما أسألكم عليه من أجر ۖ إن أجري إلا على رب العالمين
And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
What! do you come to the males from among the creatures
"Of all the creatures in the world, will ye approach males,
أتأتون الذكران من العالمين
Do you approach males among the worlds
أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
And leave what your Lord has created for you of your wives? Nay, you are a people exceeding limits.
"And leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your mates? Nay, ye are a people transgressing (all limits)!"
وتذرون ما خلق لكم ربكم من أزواجكم ۚ بل أنتم قوم عادون
And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing."
وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَٰجِكُم بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ عَادُونَ
They said: If you desist not, O Lut! you shall surely be of those who are expelled.
They said: "If thou desist not, O Lut! thou wilt assuredly be cast out!"
قالوا لئن لم تنته يا لوط لتكونن من المخرجين
They said, "If you do not desist, O Lot, you will surely be of those evicted."
قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَٰلُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْرَجِينَ
He said: Surely I am of those who utterly abhor your doing;

قال إني لعملكم من القالين

قَالَ إِنِّى لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلْقَالِينَ

"O my Lord! deliver me and my family from such things as they do!"
رب نجني وأهلي مما يعملون
My Lord, save me and my family from [the consequence of] what they do."
رَبِّ نَجِّنِى وَأَهْلِى مِمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ
So We delivered him and his followers all,
So We delivered him and his family, - all
فنجيناه وأهله أجمعين
So We saved him and his family, all,
فَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ

Except an old woman who lingered behind.
إلا عجوزا في الغابرين
Except an old woman among those who remained behind.
إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِى ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ
Then We utterly destroyed the others.
But the rest We destroyed utterly.
ثم دمرنا الآخرين
Then We destroyed the others.
ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ
And We rained down upon them a rain, and evil was the rain on those warned.

وأمطرنا عليهم مطرا ۖ فساء مطر المنذرين
And We rained upon them a rain [of stones], and evil was the rain of those who were warned.

Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.
إن في ذلك لآية ۖ وما كان أكثرهم مؤمنين
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

كذب أصحاب الأيكة المرسلين
The companions of the thicket denied the messengers

Behold, Shu'aib said to them: "Will ye not fear (Allah)?
إذ قال لهم شعيب ألا تتقون

وما أسألكم عليه من أجر ۖ إن أجري إلا على رب العالمين

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Give a full measure and be not of those who diminish;
"Give just measure, and cause no loss (to others by fraud).
۞ أوفوا الكيل ولا تكونوا من المخسرين
Give full measure and do not be of those who cause loss.
أَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْسِرِينَ

And fear He who created you and the former creation."
وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ وَٱلْجِبِلَّةَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
They said: You are only of those deluded;
They said: "Thou art only one of those bewitched!
قالوا إنما أنت من المسحرين
They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.
قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ

"Thou art no more than a mortal like us, and indeed we think thou art a liar!
وما أنت إلا بشر مثلنا وإن نظنك لمن الكاذبين
You are but a man like ourselves, and indeed, we think you are among the liars.
وَمَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْكَٰذِبِينَ

"Now cause a piece of the sky to fall on us, if thou art truthful!"
فأسقط علينا كسفا من السماء إن كنت من الصادقين
So cause to fall upon us fragments of the sky, if you should be of the truthful."
فَأَسْقِطْ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ
He said: My Lord knows best what you do.
He said: "My Lord knows best what ye do."
قال ربي أعلم بما تعملون
He said, "My Lord is most knowing of what you do."
قَالَ رَبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ
But they called him a liar, so the punishment of the day of covering overtook them; surely it was the punishment of a grievous day.
But they rejected him. Then the punishment of a day of overshadowing gloom seized them, and that was the Penalty of a Great Day.
فكذبوه فأخذهم عذاب يوم الظلة ۚ إنه كان عذاب يوم عظيم
And they denied him, so the punishment of the day of the black cloud seized them. Indeed, it was the punishment of a terrible day.
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.
Verily in that is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.
إن في ذلك لآية ۖ وما كان أكثرهم مؤمنين
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
And most surely your Lord is Mighty, the Merciful.
And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
وإن ربك لهو العزيز الرحيم
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Verily this is a Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds:
وإنه لتنزيل رب العالمين
And indeed, the Qur'an is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
The Faithful Spirit has descended with it,
With it came down the spirit of Faith and Truth -
نزل به الروح الأمين
The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down
نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْأَمِينُ
Upon your heart that you may be of the warners
To thy heart and mind, that thou mayest admonish.
على قلبك لتكون من المنذرين
Upon your heart, [O Muhammad] - that you may be of the warners -
عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ
In plain Arabic language.
In the perspicuous Arabic tongue.
بلسان عربي مبين
In a clear Arabic language.
بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِىٍّ مُّبِينٍ
And most surely the same is in the scriptures of the ancients.
Without doubt it is (announced) in the mystic Books of former peoples.
وإنه لفي زبر الأولين
And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِى زُبُرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Is it not a sign to them that the learned men of the Israelites know it?
Is it not a Sign to them that the Learned of the Children of Israel knew it (as true)?
أولم يكن لهم آية أن يعلمه علماء بني إسرائيل
And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel?
أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ ءَايَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَٰٓؤُا۟ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
And if we had revealed it to any of the foreigners
Had We revealed it to any of the non - Arabs,
ولو نزلناه على بعض الأعجمين
And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners
وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ ٱلْأَعْجَمِينَ
So that he should have recited it to them, they would not have believed therein.
And had he recited it to them, they would not have believed in it.
فقرأه عليهم ما كانوا به مؤمنين
And he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it.
فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنِينَ
Thus have We caused it to enter into the hearts of the guilty.
Thus have We caused it to enter the hearts of the sinners.
كذلك سلكناه في قلوب المجرمين
Thus have We inserted disbelief into the hearts of the criminals.
كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَٰهُ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ
They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.
They will not believe in it until they see the grievous Penalty;
لا يؤمنون به حتى يروا العذاب الأليم
They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.
لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ
And it shall come to them all of a sudden, while they shall not perceive;
But the (Penalty) will come to them of a sudden, while they perceive it not;
فيأتيهم بغتة وهم لا يشعرون
And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not.
فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
Then they will say: Shall we be respited?
Then they will say: "Shall we be respited?"
فيقولوا هل نحن منظرون
And they will say, "May we be reprieved?"
فَيَقُولُوا۟ هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ
What! do they still seek to hasten on Our punishment?
Do they then ask for Our Penalty to be hastened on?
أفبعذابنا يستعجلون
So for Our punishment are they impatient?
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
Have you then considered if We let them enjoy themselves for years,
Seest thou? If We do let them enjoy (this life) for a few years,
أفرأيت إن متعناهم سنين
Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years
أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَٰهُمْ سِنِينَ
Then there comes to them that with which they are threatened,
Yet there comes to them at length the (Punishment) which they were promised!
ثم جاءهم ما كانوا يوعدون
And then there came to them that which they were promised?
ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ
That which they were made to enjoy shall not avail them?
It will profit them not that they enjoyed (this life)!
ما أغنى عنهم ما كانوا يمتعون
They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.
مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُمَتَّعُونَ
And We did not destroy any town but it had (its) warners,
Never did We destroy a population, but had its warners -
وما أهلكنا من قرية إلا لها منذرون
And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners
وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ
To remind, and We are never unjust.
By way of reminder; and We never are unjust.
ذكرى وما كنا ظالمين
As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.
ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ
And the Shaitans have not come down with it.
No evil ones have brought down this (Revelation):
وما تنزلت به الشياطين
And the devils have not brought the revelation down.
وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ
And it behoves them not, and they have not the power to do (it).
It would neither suit them nor would they be able (to produce it).
وما ينبغي لهم وما يستطيعون
It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able.
وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ
Most surely they are far removed from the hearing of it.
Indeed they have been removed far from even (a chance of) hearing it.
إنهم عن السمع لمعزولون
Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed.
إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ
So call not upon another god with Allah, lest you be of those who are punished.
So call not on any other god with Allah, or thou wilt be among those under the Penalty.
فلا تدع مع الله إلها آخر فتكون من المعذبين
So do not invoke with Allah another deity and [thus] be among the punished.
فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُعَذَّبِينَ
And warn your nearest relations,
And admonish thy nearest kinsmen,
وأنذر عشيرتك الأقربين
And warn, [O Muhammad], your closest kindred.
وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ
And be kind to him who follows you of the believers.
And lower thy wing to the Believers who follow thee.
واخفض جناحك لمن اتبعك من المؤمنين
And lower your wing to those who follow you of the believers.
وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
But if they disobey you, then say: Surely I am clear of what you do.
Then if they disobey thee, say: "I am free (of responsibility) for what ye do!"
فإن عصوك فقل إني بريء مما تعملون
And if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing."
فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ
And rely on the Mighty, the Merciful,
And put thy trust on the Exalted in Might, the Merciful, -
وتوكل على العزيز الرحيم
And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,
وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Who sees you when you stand up.
Who seeth thee standing forth (in prayer),
الذي يراك حين تقوم
Who sees you when you arise
ٱلَّذِى يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ
And your turning over and over among those who prostrate themselves before Allah.
And thy movements among those who prostrate themselves,
وتقلبك في الساجدين
And your movement among those who prostrate.
وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ
Surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
For it is He Who heareth and knoweth all things.
إنه هو السميع العليم
Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
Shall I inform you (of him) upon whom the Shaitans descend?
Shall I inform you, (O people!), on whom it is that the evil ones descend?
هل أنبئكم على من تنزل الشياطين
Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?
هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ
They descend upon every lying, sinful one,
They descend on every lying, wicked person,
تنزل على كل أفاك أثيم
They descend upon every sinful liar.
تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ
They incline their ears, and most of them are liars.
(Into whose ears) they pour hearsay vanities, and most of them are liars.
يلقون السمع وأكثرهم كاذبون
They pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars.
يُلْقُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَٰذِبُونَ
And as to the poets, those who go astray follow them.
And the Poets, - It is those straying in Evil, who follow them:
والشعراء يتبعهم الغاوون
And the poets - [only] the deviators follow them;
وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلْغَاوُۥنَ
Do you not see that they wander about bewildered in every valley?
Seest thou not that they wander distracted in every valley? -
ألم تر أنهم في كل واد يهيمون
Do you not see that in every valley they roam
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ
And that they say that which they do not do,
And that they say what they practise not? -
وأنهم يقولون ما لا يفعلون
And that they say what they do not do? -
وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ
Except those who believe and do good and remember Allah much, and defend themselves after they are oppressed; and they who act unjustly shall know to what final place of turning they shall turn back.
Except those who believe, work righteousness, engage much in the remembrance of Allah, and defend themselves only after they are unjustly attacked. And soon will the unjust assailants know what vicissitudes their affairs will take!
إلا الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات وذكروا الله كثيرا وانتصروا من بعد ما ظلموا ۗ وسيعلم الذين ظلموا أي منقلب ينقلبون
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.
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَٱنتَصَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَىَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ
