Verses 1–5 of 5
And remember ye said: "O Moses! we cannot endure One kind of food (always); So beseech thy Lord for us To produce for us of what the earth Groweth,—its pot-herbs, and cucumbers, Its garlic, lentils, and onions." He said: "Will ye exchange The better for the worse? Go ye down to any town," And ye shall find what ye want!" They were covered with humiliation And misery; they drew On themselves the wrath of God. This because they went on Rejecting the Signs of God And slaying His Messengers Without just cause. This because they rebelled And went on transgressing.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:61We inspired Moses and his brother With this Message: "Provide Dwellings for your People In Egypt, make your dwellings Into places of worship, And establish regular prayers: And give Glad Tidings To those who believe!"
Surah Yunus, verse 10:87The man in Egypt Who bought him, said To his wife: "Make his stay (Among us) honourable: Maybe he will bring us Much good, or we shall Adopt him as a son." Thus did We establish Joseph in the land, That We might teach him The interpretation of stories (And events). And God Hath full power and control Over His affairs; but most Among mankind know it not.
Surah Yusuf, verse 12:21Then when they entered The presence of Joseph, He provided a home For his parents with himself, And said: "Enter ye Egypt (all) in safety If it please God."
Surah Yusuf, verse 12:99And Pharaoh proclaimed Among his people, saying: "O my people! Does not The dominion of Egypt Belong to me, (witness) These streams flowing Underneath my (palace)? What! See ye not then?
Surah Az-Zukhruf, verse 43:51
