1 Ta. Sin. Mim.

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Ta-Sin-Mim. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings.]

2 These are verses of the Book that makes (things) clear.

2 These are the Verses of the manifest Book [(this Qur'an), which was promised by Allah in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), makes things clear].

3 It may be thou frettest thy soul with grief, that they do not become Believers.

3 It may be that you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) are going to kill yourself with grief, that they do not become believers [in your Risalah (Messengership) i.e. in your Message of Islamic Monotheism].

4 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.

4 If We will, We could send down to them from the heaven a sign, to which they would bend their necks in humility.

5 But there comes not to them a newly - revealed Message from (Allah) Most Gracious, but they turn away therefrom.

5 And never comes there unto them a Reminder as a recent revelation from the Most Gracious (Allah), but they turn away therefrom.

6 They have indeed rejected (the Message): so they will know soon (enough) the truth of what they mocked at!

6 So they have indeed denied (the truth - this Qur'an), then the news of what they mocked at will come to them.

7 Do they not look at the earth, - how many noble things of all kinds We have produced therein?

7 Do they not observe the earth - how much of every good kind We cause to grow therein?

8 Verily, in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.

8 Verily, in this is an Ayah (proof or sign), yet most of them (polytheists, pagans who do not believe in Resurrection) are not believers.

9 And verily, thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.

9 And verily your Lord, He is truly the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

10 Behold, thy Lord called Moses: "Go to the people of iniquity, -

10 And (remember) when your Lord called Musa (Moses) (saying): "Go to the people who are Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) -

11 "The people of the Pharaoh: will they not fear Allah?"

11 "The people of Fir'aun (Pharaoh): Will they not fear Allah and become righteous?"

12 He said: "O my Lord! I do fear that they will charge me with falsehood:

12 He said: "My Lord! Verily, I fear that they will belie me,

13 "My breast will be straitened. And my speech may not go (smoothly): so send unto Aaron.

13 "And my breast straitens, and my tongue expresses not well. So send for Harun (Aaron) (to come along with me).

14 "And (further), they have a charge of crime against me; and I fear they may slay me."

14 "And they have a charge of crime against me, and I fear they will kill me."

15 Allah said: "By no means! proceed then, both of you, with Our Signs; We are with you, and will listen (to your call).

15 (Allah) said: "Nay! Go you both with Our Signs. Verily We shall be with you, listening.

16 "So go forth, both of you, to Pharaoh, and say: 'We have been sent by the Lord and Cherisher of the worlds;

16 "And go both of you to Fir'aun (Pharaoh), and say: 'We are the Messengers of the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists),

17 "'Send thou with us the Children of Israel.'"

17 "So allow the Children of Israel to go with us.' "

18 (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?

18 [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said [to Musa (Moses)]: "Did we not bring you up among us as a child? And you did dwell many years of your life with us.

19 "And thou didst a deed of thine which (thou knowest) thou didst, and thou art an ungrateful (wretch)!"

19 "And you did your deed, which you did (i.e. the crime of killing a man) while you were one of the ingrates."

20 Moses said: "I did it then, when I was in error.

20 Musa (Moses) said: "I did it then, when I was ignorant (as regards my Lord and His Message).

21 "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.

21 "So I fled from you when I feared you. But my Lord has granted me Hukm (i.e. religious knowledge, right judgement of the affairs and Prophethood), and made me one of the Messengers.

22 "And this is the favour with which thou dost reproach me, - that thou hast enslaved the Children of Israel!"

22 "And this is the past favour with which you reproach me: that you have enslaved the Children of Israel."

23 Pharaoh said: "And what is the 'Lord and Cherisher of the worlds'?"

23 Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said: "And what is the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)?"

24 (Moses) said: "The Lord and Cherisher of the heavens and the earth, and all between, - if ye want to be quite sure."

24 [Musa (Moses)] said: "The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, if you seek to be convinced with certainty."

25 (Pharaoh) said to those around: "Did ye not listen (to what he says)?"

25 [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said to those around: "Do you not hear (what he says)?"

26 (Moses) said: "Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers from the beginning!"

26 [Musa (Moses)] said: "Your Lord and the Lord of your ancient fathers!"

27 (Pharaoh) said: "Truly your messenger who has been sent to you is a veritable madman!"

27 [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "Verily, your Messenger who has been sent to you is a madman!"

28 (Moses) said: "Lord of the East and the West, and all between! if ye only had sense!"

28 [Musa (Moses)] said: "Lord of the east and the west, and all that is between them, if you did but understand!"

29 (Pharaoh) said: "If thou dost put forward any god other than me, I will certainly put thee in prison!"

29 [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "If you choose an ilah (god) other than me, I will certainly put you among the prisoners."

30 (Moses) said: "Even if I showed you something clear (and) convincing?"

30 [Musa (Moses)] said: "Even if I bring you something manifest (and convincing)?"

31 (Pharaoh) said: "Show it then, if thou tellest the truth!"

31 [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "Bring it forth then, if you are of the truthful!"

32 So (Moses) threw his rod, and behold, it was a serpent, plain (for all to see)!

32 So [Musa (Moses)] threw his stick, and behold, it was a serpent, manifest.

33 And he drew out his hand, and behold, it was white to all beholders!

33 And he drew out his hand, and behold, it was white to all beholders!

34 (Pharaoh) said to the Chiefs around him: "This is indeed a sorcerer well - versed:

34 [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said to the chiefs around him: "Verily! This is indeed a well-versed sorcerer.

35 "His plan is to get you out of your land by his sorcery; then what is it ye counsel?"

35 "He wants to drive you out of your land by his sorcery: what is it then that you command?"

36 They said: "Keep him and his brother in suspense (for a while), and dispatch to the Cities heralds to collect -

36 They said: "Put him off and his brother (for a while), and send callers to the cities;

37 "And bring up to thee all (our) sorcerers well - versed."

37 "To bring up to you every well-versed sorcerer."

38 So the sorcerers were got together for the appointment of a day well - known,

38 So the sorcerers were assembled at a fixed time on a day appointed.

39 And the people were told: "Are ye (now) assembled? -

39 And it was said to the people: "Are you (too) going to assemble?

40 "That we may follow the sorcerers (in religion) if they win?"

40 "That we may follow the sorcerers [who were on Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) religion of disbelief] if they are the winners."

41 So when the sorcerers arrived, they said to Pharaoh: "Of course - shall we have a (suitable) reward if we win?

41 So when the sorcerers arrived, they said to Fir'aun (Pharaoh): "Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners?"

42 He said: "Yea, (and more), - for ye shall in that case be (raised to posts) nearest (to my person)."

42 He said: "Yes, and you shall then verily be of those brought near (to myself)."

43 Moses said to them: "Throw ye - that which ye are about to throw!"

43 Musa (Moses) said to them: "Throw what you are going to throw!"

44 So they threw their ropes and their rods, and said: "By the might of Pharaoh, it is we who will certainly win!"

44 So they threw their ropes and their sticks, and said: "By the might of Fir'aun (Pharaoh), it is we who will certainly win!"

45 Then Moses threw his rod, when, behold, it straightway swallows up all the falsehoods which they fake!

45 Then Musa (Moses) threw his stick, and behold, it swallowed up all that they falsely showed!

46 Then did the sorcerers fall down, prostrate in adoration,

46 And the sorcerers fell down prostrate.

47 Saying: "We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,

47 Saying: "We believe in the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).

48 "The Lord of Moses and Aaron."

48 "The Lord of Musa (Moses) and Harun (Aaron)."

49 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!"

49 [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "You have believed in him before I give you leave. Surely, he indeed is your chief, who has taught you magic! So verily, you shall come to know. Verily, I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you all."

50 They said: "No matter! for us, we shall but return to our Lord!

50 They said: "No harm! Surely, to our Lord (Allah) we are to return.

51 "Only, our desire is that our Lord will forgive us our faults, that we may become foremost among the believers!"

51 "Verily we really hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins, as we are the first of the believers [in Musa (Moses) and in the Monotheism which he has brought from Allah]."

52 By inspiration we told Moses: "Travel by night with my servants; for surely ye shall be pursued."

52 And We revealed to Musa (Moses), saying: "Depart by night with My slaves, verily you will be pursued."

53 Then Pharaoh sent heralds to (all) the Cities,

53 Then Fir'aun (Pharaoh) sent callers to (all) the cities.

54 (Saying): "These (Israelites) are but a small band,

54 (Saying): "Verily these indeed are but a small band.

55 "And they are raging furiously against us;

55 "And verily, they have done what has enraged us.

56 "But we are a multitude amply fore - warned."

56 "But we are a host all assembled, amply fore-warned."

57 So We expelled them from gardens, springs,

57 So, We expelled them from gardens and springs,

58 Treasures, and every kind of honourable position;

58 Treasures, and every kind of honourable place.

59 Thus it was, but We made the Children of Israel inheritors of such things.

59 Thus [We turned them (Pharaoh's people) out] and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them.

60 So they pursued them at sunrise.

60 So they pursued them at sunrise.

61 And when the two bodies saw each other, the people of Moses said: "We are sure to be overtaken."

61 And when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Musa (Moses) said: "We are sure to be overtaken."

62 (Moses) said: "By no means! my Lord is with me! Soon will He guide me!"

62 [Musa (Moses)] said: "Nay, verily with me is my Lord. He will guide me."

63 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.

63 Then We revealed to Musa (Moses) (saying): "Strike the sea with your stick." And it parted, and each separate part (of that sea water) became like huge mountain.

64 And We made the other party approach thither.

64 Then We brought near the others [Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) party] to that place.

65 We delivered Moses and all who were with him;

65 And We saved Musa (Moses) and all those with him.

66 But We drowned the others.

66 Then We drowned the others.

67 Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.

69 And rehearse to them (something of) Abraham's story.

69 And recite to them the story of Ibrahim (Abraham).

70 Behold, he said to his father and his people: "What worship ye?"

70 When he said to his father and his people: "What do you worship?"

71 They said: "We worship idols, and we remain constantly in attendance on them."

71 They said: "We worship idols, and to them we are ever devoted."

72 He said: "Do they listen to you when ye call (on them)?"

72 He said: "Do they hear you, when you call on (them)?

73 "Or do you good or harm?"

73 "Or do they benefit you or do they harm (you)?"

74 They said: "Nay, but we found our fathers doing thus (what we do)."

74 They said: "(Nay) but we found our fathers doing so."

75 He said: "Do ye then see whom ye have been worshipping, -

75 He said: "Do you observe that which you have been worshipping -

76 "Ye and your fathers before you? -

76 "You and your ancient fathers?

77 "For they are enemies to me; not so the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds;

83 My Lord! Bestow Hukm (religious knowledge, right judgement of the affairs and Prophethood) on me, and join me with the righteous.

84 "Grant me honourable mention on the tongue of truth among the latest (generations);

84 And grant me an honourable mention in later generations.

85 "Make me one of the inheritors of the Garden of Bliss;

85 And make me one of the inheritors of the Paradise of Delight.

86 "Forgive my father, for that he is among those astray;

87 "And let me not be in disgrace on the Day when (men) will be raised up; -

87 And disgrace me not on the Day when (all the creatures) will be resurrected.

88 "The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail,

88 The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail,

89 "But only he (will prosper) that brings to Allah a sound heart;

89 Except him who brings to Allah a clean heart [clean from Shirk (polytheism) and Nifaq (hypocrisy)]."

90 "To the righteous, the Garden will be brought near,

90 And Paradise will be brought near to the Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2).

91 "And to those straying in Evil, the Fire will be placed in full view;

92 "And it shall be said to them: 'Where are the (gods) ye worshipped -

93 "'Besides Allah? Can they help you or help themselves?'

95 "And the whole hosts of Iblis together.
