| 75. |
Then after them We sent Mūsa (Moses) and Hārūn (Aaron) to Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and his chiefs with Our Ayāt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.). But they behaved arrogantly and were Mujrimūn (disbelievers, sinners, polytheists, criminals, etc.) folk. |
| 76. | So when came to them the truth from Us, they said: "This is indeed clear magic." |
| 77. | Mūsa (Moses) said: "Say you (this) about the truth when it has come to you? Is this magic? But the magicians will never be successful." |
| 78. | They said: "Have you come to us to turn us away from that (Faith) we found our fathers following, - and that you two may have greatness in the land? We are not going to believe you two!" |
| 79. | And Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said: "Bring to me every well-versed sorcerer." |
| 80. | And when the sorcerers came, Mūsa (Moses) said to them: "Cast down what you want to cast!" |
| 81. | Then when they had cast down, Mūsa (Moses) said: "What you have brought is sorcery, Allāh will surely make it of no effect. Verily, Allāh does not set right the work of Al-Mufsidūn (the evil-doers, corrupts, etc.). |
| 82. | "And Allāh will establish and make apparent the truth by His Words, however much the Mujrimūn (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, etc.) may hate it." |
| 83. | But none believed in Mūsa (Moses) except the offspring of his people, because of the fear of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and his chiefs, lest they should persecute them; and verily, Fir'aun (Pharaoh) was arrogant tyrant on the earth, he was indeed one of the Musrifūn (polytheists, sinners and transgressors, those who give up the truth and follow the evil, and commit all kinds of great sins). |
| 84. | And Mūsa (Moses) said: "O my people! If you have believed in Allāh, then put your trust in Him if you are Muslims (those who submit to Allāh's Will)." |
| 85. | They said: "In Allāh we put our trust. Our Lord! Make us not a trial for the folk who are Zālimūn (polytheists and wrong-doing) (i.e. do not make them overpower us). |
| 86. | "And save us by Your Mercy from the disbelieving folk." |
| 87. | And We inspired Mūsa (Moses) and his brother (saying): "Take dwellings for your people in Egypt, and make your dwellings as places for your worship, and perform As-Salāt (Iqāmat-as-Salāt), and give glad tidings to the believers." |
| 88. | And Mūsa (Moses) said: "Our Lord! You have indeed bestowed on Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and his chiefs splendour and wealth in the life of this world, our Lord! That they may lead men astray from Your Path. Our Lord! Destroy their wealth, and harden their hearts, so that they will not believe until they see the painful torment." |
| 89. | Allāh said: "Verily, the invocation of you both is accepted. So you both keep to the Straight Way (i.e. keep on doing good deeds and preaching Allāh's Message with patience), and follow not the path of those who know not (the truth i.e. to believe in the Oneness of Allāh, and also to believe in the Reward of Allāh: Paradise, etc.)." |
| 90. | And We took the Children of Israel across the sea, and Fir'aun (Pharaoh) with his hosts followed them in oppression and enmity, till when drowning overtook him, he said: "I believe that Lā ilāha illa (Huwa): (none has the right to be worshipped but) He," in Whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am one of the Muslims (those who submit to Allāh's Will)." |
| 91. | Now (you believe) while you refused to believe before and you were one of the Mufsidūn (evil-doers, corrupts, etc.). |
| 92. | So this day We shall deliver your (dead) body (out from the sea) that you may be a sign to those who come after you! And verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Ayāt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs , revelations, etc.). |
SURAH AL-A'RAF
| 103. | Then after them We sent Mūsa (Moses) with Our Signs to Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and his chiefs, but they wrongfully rejected them. So see how was the end of the Mufsidūn (mischief-makers, corrupts, etc.). |
| 104. | And Mūsa (Moses) said: "O Fir'aun (Pharaoh)! I am a Messenger from the Lord of the 'Alamīn (mankind, jinns and all that exists). |
| 105. | "Proper it is for me that I say nothing concerning Allāh but the truth. Indeed I have come unto you from your Lord with a clear proof. So let the Children of Israel depart along with me." |
| 106. | [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "If you have come with a sign, show it forth, - if you are one of those who tell the truth." |
| 107. | Then [Mūsa (Moses)] threw his stick and behold! it was a serpent, manifest! |
| 108. | And he drew out his hand, and behold! it was white (with radiance) for the beholders. |
| 109. | The chiefs of the people of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said: "This is indeed a well-versed sorcerer; |
| 110. | "He wants to get you out of your land, so what do you advise?" |
| 111. | They said: "Put him and his brother off (for a time), and send callers (men) to the cities to collect (and) - |
| 112. | "That they bring up to you all well-versed sorcerers." |
| 113. | And so the sorcerers came to Fir'aun (Pharaoh). They said: "Indeed there will be a (good) reward for us if we are the victors." |
| 114. | He said: "Yes, and moreover you will (in that case) be of the nearest (to me)." |
| 115. | They said: "O Mūsa (Moses)! Either you throw (first), or shall we have the (first) throw?" |
| 116. | He [Mūsa (Moses)] said: "Throw you (first)." So when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people, and struck terror into them, and they displayed a great magic. |
| 117. | And We inspired Mūsa (Moses) (saying): "Throw your stick," and behold! It swallowed up straight away all the falsehoods which they showed. |
| 118. | Thus truth was confirmed, and all that they did was made of no effect. |
| 119. | So they were defeated there and then, and were returned disgraced. |
| 120. | And the sorcerers fell down prostrate. |
| 121. | They said: "We believe in the Lord of the 'Alamīn (mankind, jinns and all that exists). |
| 122. | "The Lord of Mūsa (Moses) and Hārūn (Aaron)." |
| 123. | Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said: "You have believed in him [Mūsa (Moses)] before I give you permission. Surely, this is a plot which you have plotted in the city to drive out its people, but you shall come to know. |
| 124. | "Surely, I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, then I will crucify you all." |
| 125. | They said: "Verily, we are returning to our Lord. |
| 126. | "And you take vengeance on us only because we believed in the Ayāt (proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, etc.) of our Lord when they reached us! Our Lord! pour out on us patience, and cause us to die as Muslims." |
| 127. | The chiefs of Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people said: "Will you leave Mūsa (Moses) and his people to spread mischief in the land, and to abandon you and your gods?" He said: "We will kill their sons, and let live their women, and we have indeed irresistible power over them." |
| 128. | Mūsa (Moses) said to his people: "Seek help in Allāh and be patient. Verily, the earth is Allāh's. He gives it as a heritage to whom He will of His slaves, and the (blessed) end is for the Muttaqūn (pious - see V.2:2)." |
| 129. | They said: "We (Children of Israel) had suffered troubles before you came to us, and since you have come to us." He said: "It may be that your Lord will destroy your enemy and make you successors on the earth, so that He may see how you act?" |
| 130. | And indeed We punished the people of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) with years of drought and shortness of fruits (crops, etc.), that they might remember (take heed). |
| 131. | But whenever good came to them, they said: "Ours is this." And if evil afflicted them, they ascribed it to evil omens connected with Mūsa (Moses) and those with him. Be informed! Verily, their evil omens are with Allāh but most of them know not. |
| 132. | They said [to Mūsa (Moses)]: "Whatever Ayāt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) you may bring to us, to work therewith your sorcery on us, we shall never believe in you." |
| 133. | So We sent on them: the flood, the locusts, the lice, the frogs, and the blood: (as a succession of) manifest signs, yet they remained arrogant, and they were of those people who were Mujrimūn (criminals, polytheists, sinners, etc.). |
| 134. | And when the punishment fell on them they said: "O Mūsa (Moses)! Invoke your Lord for us because of His Promise to you. If you will remove the punishment from us, we indeed shall believe in you, and we shall let the Children of Israel go with you." |
| 135. | But when We removed the punishment from them to a fixed term, which they had to reach, behold! They broke their word! |
| 136. | So We took retribution from them. We drowned them in the sea, because they belied Our Ayāt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and were heedless about them. |
| 137. | And We made the people who were considered weak to inherit the eastern parts of the land and the western parts thereof which We have blessed. And the fair Word of your Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel, because of their endurance. And We destroyed completely all the great works and buildings which Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and his people erected. |
| 141. | And (remember) when We rescued you from Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people, who were afflicting you with the worst torment, killing your sons and letting your women live. And in that was a great tri |
SURAH AL-BAQARAH
| 5. | They are on (true) guidance from their Lord, and they are the successful. |
| 49. | And (remember) when We delivered you from Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people, who were afflicting you with a horrible torment, killing your sons and sparing your women, and therein was a mighty trial from your Lord. | |
| 50. | And (remember) when We separated the sea for you and saved you and drowned Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people while you were looking (at them, when the sea-water covered them). |
SURAH AL-IMRAN
| 11. | Like the behaviour of the people of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and those before them; they belied Our Ayāt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), so Allāh seized (destroyed) them for their sins. And Allāh is Severe in punishment. |
SURAH AD-DUKHAN
| 17. | And indeed We tried before them Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people, when there came to them a noble Messenger [i.e. Mūsa (Moses) < |
| 18. | Saying: "Restore to me the slaves of Allāh (i.e. the Children of Israel). Verily! I am to you a Messenger worthy of all trust, |
| 19. | "And exalt not (yourselves) against Allāh. Truly, I have come to you with a manifest authority. |
| 20. | "And truly, I seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me (or call me a sorcerer or kill me). |
| 21. | "But if you believe me not, then keep away from me and leave me alone." |
| 22. | (But they were aggressive), so he [Mūsa (Moses)] called upon his Lord (saying): "These are indeed the people who are Mujrimūn (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, criminals, etc.)." |
| 23. | (Allāh said): "Depart you with My slaves by night. Surely, you will be pursued. |
| 24. | "And leave the sea as it is (quiet and divided). Verily, They are a host to be drowned." |
| 25. | How many of gardens and springs do they [Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people] left. |
| 26. | And green crops (fields etc.) and goodly places, |
| 27. | And comforts of life wherein they used to take delight! |
| 28. | Thus (it was)! And We made other people inherit them (i.e. We made the Children of Israel to inherit the kingdom of Egypt). |
| 29. | And the heavens and the earth wept not for them[] , nor were they given a respite. |
| 30. | And indeed We saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment, |
| 31. | From Fir'aun (Pharaoh); Verily! He was arrogant and was of the Musrifūn (those who transgress beyond bound in spending and other things and commit great sins). |
| 32. | And We chose them (the Children of Israel) above the 'Alamīn (mankind, and jinns) [during the time of Mūsa (Moses)] with knowledge, |
| 33. | And granted them signs in which there was a plain trial. |
SURAH TA-HA
| 17. | "And what is that in your right hand, O Mūsa (Moses)?" |
| 18. | He said: "This is my stick, whereon I lean, and wherewith I beat down branches for my sheep, and wherein I find other uses." |
| 19. | (Allāh) said: "Cast it down, O Mūsa (Moses)!" |
| 20. | He cast it down, and behold! It was a snake, moving quickly. |
| 21. | Allāh said:"Grasp it, and fear not, We shall return it to its former state, |
| 22. | "And press your (right) hand to your (left) side, it will come forth white (and shining), without any disease as another sign, |
| 23. | "That We may show you (some) of Our Greater Signs. |
| 24. | "Go to Fir'aun (Pharaoh)! Verily, he has transgressed (all bounds in disbelief and disobedience, and has behaved as an arrogant, and as a tyrant)." |
| 25. | [Mūsa (Moses)] said: "O my Lord! Open for me my chest (grant me self-confidence, contentment, and boldness). |
| 26. | "And ease my task for me; |
| 27. | "And make loose the knot (the defect) from my tongue, (i.e. remove the incorrectness from my speech) [That occurred as a result of a brand of fire which Mūsa (Moses) put in his mouth when he was an infant]. [Tafsir At-Tabarī, Vol. 16, Page 159]. |
| 28. | "That they understand my speech, |
| 29. | "And appoint for me a helper from my family, |
| 30. | "Hārūn (Aaron), my brother; |
| 31. | "Increase my strength with him, |
| 32. | "And let him share my task (of conveying Allāh's Message and Prophethood), |
| 33. | "That we may glorify You much, |
| 34. | "And remember You much, |
| 35. | "Verily! You are of us Ever a Well-Seer." |
| 36. | Allāh said: "You are granted your request, O Mūsa (Moses)! |
| 37. | "And indeed We conferred a favour on you another time (before). |
| 38. | "When We inspired your mother with that which We inspired. |
| 39. | "Saying: 'Put him (the child) into the Tabūt (a box or a case or a chest) and put it into the river (Nile), then the river shall cast it up on the bank, and there, an enemy of Mine and an enemy of his shall take him.' And I endued you with love from Me, in order that you may be brought up under My Eye, |
| 40. | "When your sister went and said: 'Shall I show you one who will nurse him?' So We restored you to your mother, that she might cool her eyes and she should not grieve. Then you did kill a man, but We saved you from great distress and tried you with a heavy trial. Then you stayed a number of years with the people of Madyan (Midian). Then you came here according to the fixed term which I ordained (for you), O Mūsa (Moses)! |
| 41. | "And I have Istana'tuka,[] for Myself. |
| 42. | "Go you and your brother with My Ayāt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), and do not, you both, slacken and become weak in My Remembrance. |
| 43. | "Go, both of you, to Fir'aun (Pharaoh), verily, he has transgressed (all bounds in disbelief and disobedience and behaved as an arrogant and as a tyrant). |
| 44. | "And speak to him mildly, perhaps he may accept admonition or fear Allāh." |
| 45. | They said: "Our Lord! Verily! We fear lest he should hasten to punish us or lest he should transgress (all bounds against us)." |
| 46. | He (Allāh) said: "Fear not, verily! I am with you both, hearing and seeing. |
| 47. | "So go you both to him, and say: 'Verily, we are Messengers of your Lord, so let the Children of Israel go with us, and torment them not; indeed, we have come with a sign from your Lord! And peace will be upon him who follows the guidance! |
| 48. | 'Truly, it has been revealed to us that the torment will be for him who denies [believes not in the Oneness of Allāh, and in His Messengers, etc.], and turns away.'(from the truth and obedience of Allāh)" |
| 49. | Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said: "Who then, O Mūsa (Moses), is the Lord of you two?" |
| 50. | [Mūsa (Moses)] said: "Our Lord is He Who gave to each thing its form and nature, then guided it aright." |
| 51. | [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "What about the generations of old?" |
| 52. | [Mūsa (Moses)] said: "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord, in a Record. My Lord is neither unaware nor He forgets, " |
| 53. | Who has made earth for you like a bed (spread out); and has opened roads (ways and paths etc.) for you therein; and has sent down water (rain) from the sky. And We have brought forth with it various kinds of vegetation. |
| 56. | And indeed We showed him [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] all Our Signs and Evidences, but he denied and refused. |
| 57. | He [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "Have you come to drive us out of our land with your magic, O Mūsa (Moses)? |
SURAH AL-HAQQAH
| 9. | And Fir'aun (Pharaoh), and those before him, and the cities overthrown [the towns of the people of [Lout (Lot)] committed sin, |
SURAH AL-MUZZAMMIL
| 16. | But Fir'aun (Pharaoh) disobeyed the Messenger [Mūsa (Moses)], so We seized him with a severe punishment. |
SURAH AL-BURUJ
| 17. | Has the story reached you of the hosts, |
| 18. | Of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and Thamūd? |
| 19. | Nay! The disbelievers (persisted) in denying (Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and his Message of Islāmic Monotheism). |
| 20. | And Allāh encompasses them from behind! (i.e. all their deeds are within His Knowledge, and He will requite them for their deeds). |
SURAH AL-FAJR
| 10. | And (with) Fir'aun (Pharaoh), who had pegs (who used to torture men by binding them to pegs)? |
| 11. | Who did transgress beyond bounds in the lands (in the disobedience of Allāh). |
| 12. | And made therein much mischief. |
| 13. | So your Lord poured on them different kinds of severe torment. |
| 14. | Verily, your Lord is Ever Watchful (over them). |
SURAH HUD
| 96. | And indeed We sent Mūsa (Moses) with Our Ayāt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and a manifest authority; |
| 97. | To Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and his chiefs, but they followed the command of Fir'aun (Pharaoh), and the command of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) was no right guide. |
| 98. | He will go ahead of his people on the Day of Resurrection, and will lead them into the Fire, and evil indeed is the place to which they are led. |
| 99. | They were pursued by a curse in this (deceiving life of this world) and (so they will be pursued by a curse) on the Day of Resurrection. How bad is the curse (in this world) pursued by another curse (in the Hereafter). |
SURAH AL-ISRA
| 101. | And indeed We gave to Mūsa (Moses) nine clear signs. Ask then the Children of Israel, when he came to them, then Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said to him: "O Mūsa (Moses)! I think you are indeed bewitched." |
| 102. | [Mūsa (Moses)] said: "Verily, you know that these signs have been sent down by none but the Lord of the heavens and the earth as clear (evidences i.e. proofs of Allāh's Oneness and His Omnipotence, etc.). And I think you are, indeed, O Fir'aun (Pharaoh) doomed to destruction (away from all good)!" |
| 103. | So he resolved to turn them out of the land (of Egypt). But We drowned him and all who were with him. |
