20:1 Ṭā-Hā.
مَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِتَشْقَىٰٓ ﴿٢﴾
20:2 We have not sent down The Qur-ān to thee to be (An occasion) for thy distress,
إِلَّا تَذْكِرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰ ﴿٣﴾
20:3 But only as an admonition To those who fear (God),—
تَنزِيلًا مِّمَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ ٱلْعُلَى ﴿٤﴾
20:4 A revelation from Him Who created the earth And the heavens on high.

لَهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَمَا تَحْتَ ٱلثَّرَىٰ ﴿٦﴾
20:6 To Him belongs what is In the heavens and on earth, And all between them, And all beneath the soil.
وَإِن تَجْهَرْ بِٱلْقَوْلِ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلسِّرَّ وَأَخْفَى ﴿٧﴾

إِذْ رَءَا نَارًا فَقَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ ٱمْكُثُوٓا۟ إِنِّىٓ ءَانَسْتُ نَارًا لَّعَلِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم مِّنْهَا بِقَبَسٍ أَوْ أَجِدُ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ هُدًى ﴿١٠﴾
20:10 Behold, he saw a fire: So he said to his family, "Tarry ye; I perceive A fire; perhaps I can Bring you some burning brand Therefrom, or find some guidance At the fire."

20:11 But when he came To the fire, a voice Was heard: "O Moses!
إِنِّىٓ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكَ فَٱخْلَعْ نَعْلَيْكَ ۖ إِنَّكَ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى ﴿١٢﴾

20:15 "Verily the Hour is coming— My design is to keep it Hidden—for every soul To receive its reward By the measure of Its Endeavour.
فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكَ عَنْهَا مَن لَّا يُؤْمِنُ بِهَا وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ فَتَرْدَىٰ ﴿١٦﴾
20:16 "Therefore let not such as Believe not therein But follow their own Lusts, divert thee therefrom, Lest thou perish!"…
وَمَا تِلْكَ بِيَمِينِكَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ ﴿١٧﴾

قَالَ هِىَ عَصَاىَ أَتَوَكَّؤُا۟ عَلَيْهَا وَأَهُشُّ بِهَا عَلَىٰ غَنَمِى وَلِىَ فِيهَا مَـَٔارِبُ أُخْرَىٰ ﴿١٨﴾
20:18 He said, "It is My rod: on it I lean; with it I beat down fodder For my flocks; and In it I find Other uses."

قَالَ خُذْهَا وَلَا تَخَفْ ۖ سَنُعِيدُهَا سِيرَتَهَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ ﴿٢١﴾
20:21 (God) said, "Seize it, And fear not: We Shall return it at once To its former condition"…
وَٱضْمُمْ يَدَكَ إِلَىٰ جَنَاحِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَآءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوٓءٍ ءَايَةً أُخْرَىٰ ﴿٢٢﴾
20:22 "Now draw thy hand Close to thy side: It shall come forth white (And shining), without harm (Or stain),—as another Sign,—

20:23 "In order that We May show thee (Two) of our Greater Signs.
ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ ﴿٢٤﴾
20:24 "Go thou to Pharaoh, For he has indeed Transgressed all bounds."
قَالَ رَبِّ ٱشْرَحْ لِى صَدْرِى ﴿٢٥﴾
20:25 (Moses) said: "O my Lord! Expand me my breast;
وَيَسِّرْ لِىٓ أَمْرِى ﴿٢٦﴾
20:26 "Ease my task for me;
وَٱحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِّن لِّسَانِى ﴿٢٧﴾
20:27 "And remove the impediment From my speech,
يَفْقَهُوا۟ قَوْلِى ﴿٢٨﴾

هَـٰرُونَ أَخِى ﴿٣٠﴾

وَأَشْرِكْهُ فِىٓ أَمْرِى ﴿٣٢﴾
20:32 "And make him share My task:
كَىْ نُسَبِّحَكَ كَثِيرًا ﴿٣٣﴾

وَنَذْكُرَكَ كَثِيرًا ﴿٣٤﴾
20:34 "And remember Thee Without stint:
إِنَّكَ كُنتَ بِنَا بَصِيرًا ﴿٣٥﴾
20:35 "For Thou art He That (ever) regardeth us."
قَالَ قَدْ أُوتِيتَ سُؤْلَكَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ ﴿٣٦﴾
20:36 (God) said: "Granted Is thy prayer, O Moses!"
وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَيْكَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَىٰٓ ﴿٣٧﴾
20:37 "And indeed We conferred A favour on thee Another time (before).
إِذْ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّكَ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ ﴿٣٨﴾
20:38 "Behold! We sent To thy mother, by inspiration, The message:
أَنِ ٱقْذِفِيهِ فِى ٱلتَّابُوتِ فَٱقْذِفِيهِ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ فَلْيُلْقِهِ ٱلْيَمُّ بِٱلسَّاحِلِ يَأْخُذْهُ عَدُوٌّ لِّى وَعَدُوٌّ لَّهُۥ ۚ وَأَلْقَيْتُ عَلَيْكَ مَحَبَّةً مِّنِّى وَلِتُصْنَعَ عَلَىٰ عَيْنِىٓ ﴿٣٩﴾
20:39 "Throw (the child) Into the chest, and throw (The chest) into the river: The river will cast him Up on the bank, and he Will be taken up by one Who is an enemy to Me And an enemy to him But I cast (the garment Of) love over thee from Me And (this) in order that Thou mayest be reared Under Mine eye.
إِذْ تَمْشِىٓ أُخْتُكَ فَتَقُولُ هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن يَكْفُلُهُۥ ۖ فَرَجَعْنَـٰكَ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّكَ كَىْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَ ۚ وَقَتَلْتَ نَفْسًا فَنَجَّيْنَـٰكَ مِنَ ٱلْغَمِّ وَفَتَنَّـٰكَ فُتُونًا ۚ فَلَبِثْتَ سِنِينَ فِىٓ أَهْلِ مَدْيَنَ ثُمَّ جِئْتَ عَلَىٰ قَدَرٍ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ ﴿٤٠﴾
20:40 "Behold! thy sister goeth forth And saith, "Shall I show you One who will nurse And rear the (child)? So We brought thee back To thy mother, that her eye Might be cooled and she Should not grieve. Then thou didst slay A man, but We saved thee From trouble, and We tried Thee in various ways. Then didst thou tarry A number of years With the people of Midian. Then didst thou come hither As ordained, O Moses!
وَٱصْطَنَعْتُكَ لِنَفْسِى ﴿٤١﴾
20:41 "And I have prepared thee For Myself (for service)"…
ٱذْهَبْ أَنتَ وَأَخُوكَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِى وَلَا تَنِيَا فِى ذِكْرِى ﴿٤٢﴾
20:42 "Go, thou and thy brother, With My Signs, And slacken not, Either of you, in keeping Me in remembrance.
ٱذْهَبَآ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ ﴿٤٣﴾
20:43 "Go, both of you, to Pharaoh, For he has indeed Transgressed all bounds;
فَقُولَا لَهُۥ قَوْلًا لَّيِّنًا لَّعَلَّهُۥ يَتَذَكَّرُ أَوْ يَخْشَىٰ ﴿٤٤﴾
20:44 "But speak to him mildly; Perchance he may take Warning or fear (God)."
قَالَا رَبَّنَآ إِنَّنَا نَخَافُ أَن يَفْرُطَ عَلَيْنَآ أَوْ أَن يَطْغَىٰ ﴿٤٥﴾
20:45 They (Moses and Aaron) said: "Our Lord! We fear lest He hasten with insolence Against us, or lest he Transgress all bounds."
قَالَ لَا تَخَافَآ ۖ إِنَّنِى مَعَكُمَآ أَسْمَعُ وَأَرَىٰ ﴿٤٦﴾
20:46 He said: "Fear not: For I am with you: I hear and see (everything).
فَأْتِيَاهُ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولَا رَبِّكَ فَأَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ وَلَا تُعَذِّبْهُمْ ۖ قَدْ جِئْنَـٰكَ بِـَٔايَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۖ وَٱلسَّلَـٰمُ عَلَىٰ مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ ﴿٤٧﴾
20:47 "So go ye both to him, And say, "Verily we are Apostles sent by thy Lord: Send forth, therefore, the Children Of Israel with us, and Afflict them not: With a Sign, indeed, Have we come from thy Lord! And Peace to all Who follow guidance!
إِنَّا قَدْ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْنَآ أَنَّ ٱلْعَذَابَ عَلَىٰ مَن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ﴿٤٨﴾
20:48 "Verily it has been revealed To us that the Penalty (Awaits) those who reject And turn away."
قَالَ فَمَن رَّبُّكُمَا يَـٰمُوسَىٰ ﴿٤٩﴾
20:49 (When this message was delivered), (Pharaoh) said: "Who, then, O Moses, is the Lord Of you two?"
قَالَ رَبُّنَا ٱلَّذِىٓ أَعْطَىٰ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ خَلْقَهُۥ ثُمَّ هَدَىٰ ﴿٥٠﴾
20:50 He said: "Our Lord is He Who gave to each (Created) thing its form And nature, and further, Gave (it) guidance."
قَالَ فَمَا بَالُ ٱلْقُرُونِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ﴿٥١﴾
20:51 (Pharaoh) said: "What then Is the condition Of previous generations?"
قَالَ عِلْمُهَا عِندَ رَبِّى فِى كِتَـٰبٍ ۖ لَّا يَضِلُّ رَبِّى وَلَا يَنسَى ﴿٥٢﴾
20:52 He replied: "The knowledge Of that is with my Lord, Duly recorded: my Lord Never errs, nor forgets,—
ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ مَهْدًا وَسَلَكَ لَكُمْ فِيهَا سُبُلًا وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزْوَٰجًا مِّن نَّبَاتٍ شَتَّىٰ ﴿٥٣﴾
20:53 "He Who has made for you The earth like a carpet Spread out; has enabled you To go about therein by roads (And channels); and has sent Down water from the sky." With it have We produced Divers pairs of plants Each separate from the others.
كُلُوا۟ وَٱرْعَوْا۟ أَنْعَـٰمَكُمْ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّأُو۟لِى ٱلنُّهَىٰ ﴿٥٤﴾
20:54 Eat (for yourselves) and pasture Your cattle: verily, in this Are Signs for men Endued with understanding.
۞ مِنْهَا خَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمْ وَمِنْهَا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تَارَةً أُخْرَىٰ ﴿٥٥﴾
20:55 From the (earth) did We Create you, and into it Shall We return you, And from it shall We Bring you out once again"
وَلَقَدْ أَرَيْنَـٰهُ ءَايَـٰتِنَا كُلَّهَا فَكَذَّبَ وَأَبَىٰ ﴿٥٦﴾
20:56 And We showed Pharaoh All Our Signs, but he Did reject and refuse.
قَالَ أَجِئْتَنَا لِتُخْرِجَنَا مِنْ أَرْضِنَا بِسِحْرِكَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ ﴿٥٧﴾
20:57 He said: "Hast thou come To drive us out Of our land with thy magic, O Moses?
فَلَنَأْتِيَنَّكَ بِسِحْرٍ مِّثْلِهِۦ فَٱجْعَلْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ مَوْعِدًا لَّا نُخْلِفُهُۥ نَحْنُ وَلَآ أَنتَ مَكَانًا سُوًى ﴿٥٨﴾
20:58 "But we can surely produce Magic to match thine! So make a tryst Between us and thee, Which we shall not fail To keep—neither we nor thou— In a place where both Shall have even chances."
قَالَ مَوْعِدُكُمْ يَوْمُ ٱلزِّينَةِ وَأَن يُحْشَرَ ٱلنَّاسُ ضُحًى ﴿٥٩﴾
20:59 Moses said: "Your tryst Is the Day of the Festival, And let the people be assembled When the sun is well up."
فَتَوَلَّىٰ فِرْعَوْنُ فَجَمَعَ كَيْدَهُۥ ثُمَّ أَتَىٰ ﴿٦٠﴾
20:60 So Pharaoh withdrew: He concerted his plan, And then came (back).
قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰ وَيْلَكُمْ لَا تَفْتَرُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا فَيُسْحِتَكُم بِعَذَابٍ ۖ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ ﴿٦١﴾
20:61 Moses said to him: Woe to you! Forge not Ye a lie against God, Lest He destroy you (at once) Utterly by chastisement: The forger must suffer Frustration!"
فَتَنَـٰزَعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَهُم بَيْنَهُمْ وَأَسَرُّوا۟ ٱلنَّجْوَىٰ ﴿٦٢﴾
20:62 So they disputed, one with Another, over their affair, But they kept their talk secret.
قَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَـٰذَٰنِ لَسَـٰحِرَٰنِ يُرِيدَانِ أَن يُخْرِجَاكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِمَا وَيَذْهَبَا بِطَرِيقَتِكُمُ ٱلْمُثْلَىٰ ﴿٦٣﴾
20:63 They said: "These two Are certainly (expert) magicians: Their object is to drive you Out from your land With their magic, and To do away with your Most cherished institutions.
فَأَجْمِعُوا۟ كَيْدَكُمْ ثُمَّ ٱئْتُوا۟ صَفًّا ۚ وَقَدْ أَفْلَحَ ٱلْيَوْمَ مَنِ ٱسْتَعْلَىٰ ﴿٦٤﴾
20:64 "Therefore concert your plan, And then assemble In (serried) ranks: He wins (all along) to-day Who gains the upper hand"
قَالُوا۟ يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِمَّآ أَن تُلْقِىَ وَإِمَّآ أَن نَّكُونَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَلْقَىٰ ﴿٦٥﴾
20:65 They said: "O Moses! Whether wilt thou That thou throw (first) Or that we be the first To throw?"
قَالَ بَلْ أَلْقُوا۟ ۖ فَإِذَا حِبَالُهُمْ وَعِصِيُّهُمْ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ مِن سِحْرِهِمْ أَنَّهَا تَسْعَىٰ ﴿٦٦﴾
20:66 He said, "Nay, throw ye First!" Then behold Their ropes and their rods— So it seemed to him On account of their magic— Began to be in lively motion!
فَأَوْجَسَ فِى نَفْسِهِۦ خِيفَةً مُّوسَىٰ ﴿٦٧﴾
20:67 So Moses conceived In his mind A (sort of) fear.
قُلْنَا لَا تَخَفْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ ﴿٦٨﴾
20:68 We said: "Fear not! For thou hast indeed The upper hand:
وَأَلْقِ مَا فِى يَمِينِكَ تَلْقَفْ مَا صَنَعُوٓا۟ ۖ إِنَّمَا صَنَعُوا۟ كَيْدُ سَـٰحِرٍ ۖ وَلَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلسَّاحِرُ حَيْثُ أَتَىٰ ﴿٦٩﴾
20:69 "Throw that which is In thy right hand: Quickly will it swallow up That which they have faked What they have faked Is but a magician's trick: And the magician thrives not, (No matter) where he goes."
فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سُجَّدًا قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ هَـٰرُونَ وَمُوسَىٰ ﴿٧٠﴾
20:70 So the magicians were Thrown down to prostration: They said, "We believe In the Lord of Aaron and Moses".
قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ ۖ فَلَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَـٰفٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ فِى جُذُوعِ ٱلنَّخْلِ وَلَتَعْلَمُنَّ أَيُّنَآ أَشَدُّ عَذَابًا وَأَبْقَىٰ ﴿٧١﴾
20:71 (Pharaoh) said: "Believe ye In Him before I give You permission? Surely This must be your leader, Who has taught you magic! Be sure I will cut off Your hands and feet On opposite sides, and I Will have you crucified On trunks of palm-trees: So shall ye know for certain, Which of us can give The more severe and the more Lasting Punishment!"
قَالُوا۟ لَن نُّؤْثِرَكَ عَلَىٰ مَا جَآءَنَا مِنَ ٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ وَٱلَّذِى فَطَرَنَا ۖ فَٱقْضِ مَآ أَنتَ قَاضٍ ۖ إِنَّمَا تَقْضِى هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَآ ﴿٧٢﴾
20:72 They said: "Never shall we Regard thee as more than The Clear Signs that have Come to us; or than Him Who created us! So decree whatever thou Desirest to decree: for thou Canst only decree (touching) The life of this world.
إِنَّآ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّنَا لِيَغْفِرَ لَنَا خَطَـٰيَـٰنَا وَمَآ أَكْرَهْتَنَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلسِّحْرِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ ﴿٧٣﴾
20:73 "For us, we have believed In our Lord: may He Forgive us our faults, And the magic to which Thou didst compel us: For God is Best And Most Abiding."
إِنَّهُۥ مَن يَأْتِ رَبَّهُۥ مُجْرِمًا فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ جَهَنَّمَ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ ﴿٧٤﴾
20:74 Verily he who comes To his Lord as a sinner (At Judgment),—for him Is Hell: therein shall he Neither die nor live.
وَمَن يَأْتِهِۦ مُؤْمِنًا قَدْ عَمِلَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ ٱلدَّرَجَـٰتُ ٱلْعُلَىٰ ﴿٧٥﴾
20:75 But such as come To Him as Believers Who have worked righteous deeds,— For them are ranks exalted,—
جَنَّـٰتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ ﴿٧٦﴾
20:76 Gardens of Eternity, Beneath which flow rivers: They will dwell therein For aye: such is the reward Of those who purify Themselves (from evil).
وَلَقَدْ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى فَٱضْرِبْ لَهُمْ طَرِيقًا فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ يَبَسًا لَّا تَخَـٰفُ دَرَكًا وَلَا تَخْشَىٰ ﴿٧٧﴾
20:77 We sent an inspiration To Moses: "Travel by night With My servants, and strike A dry path for them Through the sea, without fear Of being overtaken (by Pharaoh) And without (any other) fear."
فَأَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ بِجُنُودِهِۦ فَغَشِيَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْيَمِّ مَا غَشِيَهُمْ ﴿٧٨﴾
20:78 Then Pharaoh pursued them With his forces, but The waters completely overwhelmed Them and covered them up.
وَأَضَلَّ فِرْعَوْنُ قَوْمَهُۥ وَمَا هَدَىٰ ﴿٧٩﴾
20:79 Pharaoh led his people astray Instead of leading them aright.
يَـٰبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ قَدْ أَنجَيْنَـٰكُم مِّنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ وَوَٰعَدْنَـٰكُمْ جَانِبَ ٱلطُّورِ ٱلْأَيْمَنَ وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْمَنَّ وَٱلسَّلْوَىٰ ﴿٨٠﴾
20:80 O ye Children of Israel! We delivered you from Your enemy, and We Made a Covenant with you On the right side of Mount (Sinai), and We sent Down to you Manna And quails:
كُلُوا۟ مِن طَيِّبَـٰتِ مَا رَزَقْنَـٰكُمْ وَلَا تَطْغَوْا۟ فِيهِ فَيَحِلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ غَضَبِى ۖ وَمَن يَحْلِلْ عَلَيْهِ غَضَبِى فَقَدْ هَوَىٰ ﴿٨١﴾
20:81 (Saying): "Eat of the good Things We have provided For your sustenance, but Commit no excess therein, Lest My Wrath should justly Descend on you: and those On whom descends My Wrath Do perish indeed!
وَإِنِّى لَغَفَّارٌ لِّمَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًا ثُمَّ ٱهْتَدَىٰ ﴿٨٢﴾
20:82 "But, without doubt, I am (Also) He that forgives Again and again, to those Who repent, believe, And do right,—who, In fine, are ready to receive True guidance."
۞ وَمَآ أَعْجَلَكَ عَن قَوْمِكَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ ﴿٨٣﴾
20:83 (When Moses was up on the Mount, God said:) "What made thee Hasten in advance of thy people, O Moses?"
قَالَ هُمْ أُو۟لَآءِ عَلَىٰٓ أَثَرِى وَعَجِلْتُ إِلَيْكَ رَبِّ لِتَرْضَىٰ ﴿٨٤﴾
20:84 He replied: "Behold, they are Close on my footsteps: I hastened to Thee. O my Lord, To please Thee."
قَالَ فَإِنَّا قَدْ فَتَنَّا قَوْمَكَ مِنۢ بَعْدِكَ وَأَضَلَّهُمُ ٱلسَّامِرِىُّ ﴿٨٥﴾
20:85 (God) said: "We have tested Thy people in thy absence: The Sāmirī has led them Astray."
فَرَجَعَ مُوسَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ غَضْبَـٰنَ أَسِفًا ۚ قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ أَلَمْ يَعِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ وَعْدًا حَسَنًا ۚ أَفَطَالَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْعَهْدُ أَمْ أَرَدتُّمْ أَن يَحِلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ غَضَبٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ فَأَخْلَفْتُم مَّوْعِدِى ﴿٨٦﴾
20:86 So Moses returned to his people In a state of indignation And sorrow. He said: "O my people! did not Your Lord make a handsome Promise to you? Did then The promise seem to you Long (in coming)? Or did ye Desire that Wrath should Descend from your Lord on you, And so ye broke your promise To me?"
قَالُوا۟ مَآ أَخْلَفْنَا مَوْعِدَكَ بِمَلْكِنَا وَلَـٰكِنَّا حُمِّلْنَآ أَوْزَارًا مِّن زِينَةِ ٱلْقَوْمِ فَقَذَفْنَـٰهَا فَكَذَٰلِكَ أَلْقَى ٱلسَّامِرِىُّ ﴿٨٧﴾
20:87 They said: "We broke not The promise to thee, as far As lay in our power: But we were made to carry The weight of the ornaments Of the (whole) people, and we Threw them (into the fire), And that was what The Sāmirī suggested.
فَأَخْرَجَ لَهُمْ عِجْلًا جَسَدًا لَّهُۥ خُوَارٌ فَقَالُوا۟ هَـٰذَآ إِلَـٰهُكُمْ وَإِلَـٰهُ مُوسَىٰ فَنَسِىَ ﴿٨٨﴾
20:88 "Then he brought out (Of the fire) before the (people) The image of a calf: It seemed to low: So they said, "This is Your god, and the god Of Moses, but (Moses) Has forgotten!"
أَفَلَا يَرَوْنَ أَلَّا يَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِمْ قَوْلًا وَلَا يَمْلِكُ لَهُمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا ﴿٨٩﴾
20:89 Could they not see that It could not return them A word (for answer), and that It had no power either To harm them or To do them good?
وَلَقَدْ قَالَ لَهُمْ هَـٰرُونُ مِن قَبْلُ يَـٰقَوْمِ إِنَّمَا فُتِنتُم بِهِۦ ۖ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ فَٱتَّبِعُونِى وَأَطِيعُوٓا۟ أَمْرِى ﴿٩٠﴾
20:90 Aaron had already, before this Said to them: ."O my people! Ye are being tested in this: For verily your Lord is (God) Most Gracious: so follow me And obey my command."
قَالُوا۟ لَن نَّبْرَحَ عَلَيْهِ عَـٰكِفِينَ حَتَّىٰ يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ ﴿٩١﴾
20:91 They had said: "We will not Abandon this cult, but we Will devote ourselves to it Until Moses returns to us.
قَالَ يَـٰهَـٰرُونُ مَا مَنَعَكَ إِذْ رَأَيْتَهُمْ ضَلُّوٓا۟ ﴿٩٢﴾
20:92 (Moses) said: "O Aaron! What kept thee back, when Thou sawest them going wrong,
أَلَّا تَتَّبِعَنِ ۖ أَفَعَصَيْتَ أَمْرِى ﴿٩٣﴾
20:93 "From following me? Didst thou Then disobey my order?"
قَالَ يَبْنَؤُمَّ لَا تَأْخُذْ بِلِحْيَتِى وَلَا بِرَأْسِىٓ ۖ إِنِّى خَشِيتُ أَن تَقُولَ فَرَّقْتَ بَيْنَ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ وَلَمْ تَرْقُبْ قَوْلِى ﴿٩٤﴾
20:94 (Aaron) replied: "O son Of my mother! Seize (me) not By my beard nor by (The hair of) my head! Truly I feared lest thou Shouldst say, "Thou hast caused A division among the Children Of Israel, and thou didst not Respect my word!"
قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكَ يَـٰسَـٰمِرِىُّ ﴿٩٥﴾
20:95 (Moses) said: "What then Is thy case, O Sāmirī?"
قَالَ بَصُرْتُ بِمَا لَمْ يَبْصُرُوا۟ بِهِۦ فَقَبَضْتُ قَبْضَةً مِّنْ أَثَرِ ٱلرَّسُولِ فَنَبَذْتُهَا وَكَذَٰلِكَ سَوَّلَتْ لِى نَفْسِى ﴿٩٦﴾
20:96 He replied: "I saw what They saw not: so I took A handful (of dust) from The footprint of the Apostle, And threw it (into the calf): Thus did my soul suggest To me."
قَالَ فَٱذْهَبْ فَإِنَّ لَكَ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ أَن تَقُولَ لَا مِسَاسَ ۖ وَإِنَّ لَكَ مَوْعِدًا لَّن تُخْلَفَهُۥ ۖ وَٱنظُرْ إِلَىٰٓ إِلَـٰهِكَ ٱلَّذِى ظَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ عَاكِفًا ۖ لَّنُحَرِّقَنَّهُۥ ثُمَّ لَنَنسِفَنَّهُۥ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ نَسْفًا ﴿٩٧﴾
20:97 (Moses) said: "Get thee gone! But thy (punishment) in this life Will be that thou wilt say, 'Touch me not'; and moreover (For a future penalty) thou hast A promise that will not fail: Now look at thy god, Of whom thou hast become A devoted worshipper: We will certainly (melt) it In a blazing fire and scatter It broadcast in the sea!"
إِنَّمَآ إِلَـٰهُكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ عِلْمًا ﴿٩٨﴾
20:98 But the God of you all Is the One God: there is No god but He: all things He comprehends in His knowledge.
كَذَٰلِكَ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَنۢبَآءِ مَا قَدْ سَبَقَ ۚ وَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَـٰكَ مِن لَّدُنَّا ذِكْرًا ﴿٩٩﴾
20:99 Thus do We relate to thee Some stories of what happened Before: for We have sent Thee a Message from Our own Presence,
مَّنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَحْمِلُ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ وِزْرًا ﴿١٠٠﴾
20:100 If any do turn away Therefrom, verily they will Bear a burden On the Day of Judgment;
خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهِ ۖ وَسَآءَ لَهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ حِمْلًا ﴿١٠١﴾
20:101 They will abide in this (state): And grievous will the burden Be to them on that Day,—
يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ ۚ وَنَحْشُرُ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ يَوْمَئِذٍ زُرْقًا ﴿١٠٢﴾
20:102 The Day when the Trumpet Will be sounded: that Day, We shall gather the sinful, Blear-eyed (with terror).
يَتَخَـٰفَتُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا عَشْرًا ﴿١٠٣﴾
20:103 In whispers will they consult Each other: "Ye tarried not Longer than ten (Days);"
نَّحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ إِذْ يَقُولُ أَمْثَلُهُمْ طَرِيقَةً إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا يَوْمًا ﴿١٠٤﴾
20:104 We know best what they Will say, when their leader Most eminent in Conduct Will say: "Ye tarried not Longer than a day!"
وَيَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلْجِبَالِ فَقُلْ يَنسِفُهَا رَبِّى نَسْفًا ﴿١٠٥﴾
20:105 They ask thee concerning The Mountains: say, "My Lord Will uproot them and scatter Them as dust;
فَيَذَرُهَا قَاعًا صَفْصَفًا ﴿١٠٦﴾
20:106 "He will leave them as plains Smooth and level;
لَّا تَرَىٰ فِيهَا عِوَجًا وَلَآ أَمْتًا ﴿١٠٧﴾
20:107 "Nothing crooked or curved Wilt thou see in their place."
يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَّبِعُونَ ٱلدَّاعِىَ لَا عِوَجَ لَهُۥ ۖ وَخَشَعَتِ ٱلْأَصْوَاتُ لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ فَلَا تَسْمَعُ إِلَّا هَمْسًا ﴿١٠٨﴾
20:108 On that Day will they follow The Caller (straight): no crookedness (Can they show) him: all sounds Shall humble themselves in The Presence of (God) Most Gracious: Nothing shalt thou hear But the tramp of their feet (As they march).
يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا تَنفَعُ ٱلشَّفَـٰعَةُ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَرَضِىَ لَهُۥ قَوْلًا ﴿١٠٩﴾
20:109 On that Day shall no Intercession avail Except for those for whom Permission has been granted By (God) Most Gracious And whose word is Acceptable to Him.
يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِهِۦ عِلْمًا ﴿١١٠﴾
20:110 He knows what (appears To His creatures as) before Or after or behind them: But they shall not compass it With their knowledge.
۞ وَعَنَتِ ٱلْوُجُوهُ لِلْحَىِّ ٱلْقَيُّومِ ۖ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنْ حَمَلَ ظُلْمًا ﴿١١١﴾
20:111 (All) faces shall be humbled Before (Him)—the Living, The Self-Subsisting, Eternal: Hopeless indeed will be The man that carries Iniquity (on his back).
وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَا يَخَافُ ظُلْمًا وَلَا هَضْمًا ﴿١١٢﴾
20:112 But he who works deeds Of righteousness, and has faith, Will have no fear of harm Nor of any curtailment (Of what is his due).
وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ قُرْءَانًا عَرَبِيًّا وَصَرَّفْنَا فِيهِ مِنَ ٱلْوَعِيدِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ أَوْ يُحْدِثُ لَهُمْ ذِكْرًا ﴿١١٣﴾
20:113 Thus have We sent this Down—an Arabic Qur-ān— And explained therein in detail Some of the warnings, In order that they may Fear God, or that it may Cause their remembrance (of Him).
فَتَعَـٰلَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلْحَقُّ ۗ وَلَا تَعْجَلْ بِٱلْقُرْءَانِ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يُقْضَىٰٓ إِلَيْكَ وَحْيُهُۥ ۖ وَقُل رَّبِّ زِدْنِى عِلْمًا ﴿١١٤﴾
20:114 High above all is God, The King, the Truth! Be not in haste With the Qur-ān before Its revelation to thee Is completed, but say, "O my Lord! advance me In knowledge."
وَلَقَدْ عَهِدْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ ءَادَمَ مِن قَبْلُ فَنَسِىَ وَلَمْ نَجِدْ لَهُۥ عَزْمًا ﴿١١٥﴾
20:115 We had already, beforehand, Taken the covenant of Adam, But he forgot: and We found On his part no firm resolve.
وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِـَٔادَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰ ﴿١١٦﴾
20:116 When We said to the angels, "Prostrate yourselves to Adam", They prostrated themselves, but not Iblīs: he refused.
فَقُلْنَا يَـٰٓـَٔادَمُ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا عَدُوٌّ لَّكَ وَلِزَوْجِكَ فَلَا يُخْرِجَنَّكُمَا مِنَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ فَتَشْقَىٰٓ ﴿١١٧﴾
20:117 Then We said: "O Adam! Verily, this is an enemy To thee and thy wife: So let him not get you Both out of the Garden, So that thou art landed In misery."
إِنَّ لَكَ أَلَّا تَجُوعَ فِيهَا وَلَا تَعْرَىٰ ﴿١١٨﴾
20:118 "There is therein (enough provision) For thee not to go hungry Nor to go naked,
وَأَنَّكَ لَا تَظْمَؤُا۟ فِيهَا وَلَا تَضْحَىٰ ﴿١١٩﴾
20:119 "Nor to suffer from thirst, Nor from the sun's heat."
فَوَسْوَسَ إِلَيْهِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ قَالَ يَـٰٓـَٔادَمُ هَلْ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَىٰ شَجَرَةِ ٱلْخُلْدِ وَمُلْكٍ لَّا يَبْلَىٰ ﴿١٢٠﴾
20:120 But Satan whispered evil To him: he said, "O Adam! Shall I lead thee to The Tree of Eternity And to a kingdom That never decays?"
فَأَكَلَا مِنْهَا فَبَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْءَٰتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخْصِفَانِ عَلَيْهِمَا مِن وَرَقِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ ۚ وَعَصَىٰٓ ءَادَمُ رَبَّهُۥ فَغَوَىٰ ﴿١٢١﴾
20:121 In the result, they both Ate of the tree, and so Their nakedness appeared To them: they began to sew Together, for their covering, Leaves from the Garden: Thus did Adam disobey His Lord, and allow himself To be seduced.
ثُمَّ ٱجْتَبَـٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَتَابَ عَلَيْهِ وَهَدَىٰ ﴿١٢٢﴾
20:122 But his Lord chose him (For His Grace): He turned To him, and gave him guidance.
قَالَ ٱهْبِطَا مِنْهَا جَمِيعًۢا ۖ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ ۖ فَإِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُم مِّنِّى هُدًى فَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ هُدَاىَ فَلَا يَضِلُّ وَلَا يَشْقَىٰ ﴿١٢٣﴾
20:123 He said: "Get ye down, Both of you,—all together, From the Garden, with enmity One to another: but if, As is sure, there comes to you Guidance from Me, whosoever Follows My guidance, will not Lose his way, nor fall Into misery.
وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِى فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُۥ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ أَعْمَىٰ ﴿١٢٤﴾
20:124 "But whosoever turns away From My Message, verily For him is a life narrowed Down, and We shall raise Him up blind on the Day Of Judgment."
قَالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرْتَنِىٓ أَعْمَىٰ وَقَدْ كُنتُ بَصِيرًا ﴿١٢٥﴾
20:125 He will say: "O my Lord! Why hast thou raised me Up blind, while I had Sight (before)?"
قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ أَتَتْكَ ءَايَـٰتُنَا فَنَسِيتَهَا ۖ وَكَذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ تُنسَىٰ ﴿١٢٦﴾
20:126 (God) will say: "Thus Didst thou, when Our Signs Came unto thee, disregard Them: so wilt thou, This day, be disregarded."
وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى مَنْ أَسْرَفَ وَلَمْ يُؤْمِنۢ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ رَبِّهِۦ ۚ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ أَشَدُّ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ ﴿١٢٧﴾
20:127 And thus do We recompense Him who transgresses beyond bounds And believes not in the Signs Of his Lord: and the Penalty Of the Hereafter is far more Grievous and more enduring.
أَفَلَمْ يَهْدِ لَهُمْ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ يَمْشُونَ فِى مَسَـٰكِنِهِمْ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّأُو۟لِى ٱلنُّهَىٰ ﴿١٢٨﴾
20:128 Is it not a warning to such Men (to call to mind) How many generations before them We destroyed, in whose haunts They (now) move? Verily, In this are Signs for men Endued with understanding.
وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَكَانَ لِزَامًا وَأَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّى ﴿١٢٩﴾
20:129 Had it not been For a Word that went forth Before from thy Lord, (Their punishment) must necessarily Have come; but there is A term appointed (for respite).
فَٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ ٱلشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا ۖ وَمِنْ ءَانَآئِ ٱلَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْ وَأَطْرَافَ ٱلنَّهَارِ لَعَلَّكَ تَرْضَىٰ ﴿١٣٠﴾
20:130 Therefore be patient with what They say, and celebrate (constantly) The praises of thy Lord, Before the rising of the sun, And before its setting; Yea, celebrate them For part of the hours Of the night, and at the sides Of the day: that thou Mayest have (spiritual) joy.
وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزْوَٰجًا مِّنْهُمْ زَهْرَةَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ ۚ وَرِزْقُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ ﴿١٣١﴾
20:131 Nor strain thine eyes in longing For the things We have given For enjoyment to parties , Of them, the splendour Of the life of this world, Through which We test them: But the provision of thy Lord Is better and more enduring.
وَأْمُرْ أَهْلَكَ بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱصْطَبِرْ عَلَيْهَا ۖ لَا نَسْـَٔلُكَ رِزْقًا ۖ نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُكَ ۗ وَٱلْعَـٰقِبَةُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ ﴿١٣٢﴾
20:132 Enjoin prayer on thy people, And be constant therein. We ask thee not to provide Sustenance: We provide it For thee. But the (fruit of) The Hereafter is for Righteousness.
وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْلَا يَأْتِينَا بِـَٔايَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦٓ ۚ أَوَلَمْ تَأْتِهِم بَيِّنَةُ مَا فِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ﴿١٣٣﴾
20:133 They say: "Why does he not Bring us a Sign from His Lord?" Has not A Clear Sign come to them Of all that was In the former Books Of revelation?
وَلَوْ أَنَّآ أَهْلَكْنَـٰهُم بِعَذَابٍ مِّن قَبْلِهِۦ لَقَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَا لَوْلَآ أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولًا فَنَتَّبِعَ ءَايَـٰتِكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن نَّذِلَّ وَنَخْزَىٰ ﴿١٣٤﴾
20:134 And if We had inflicted On them a penalty before this, They would have said: "Our Lord! If only Thou Hadst sent us an apostle, We should certainly have followed Thy Signs before we were Humbled and put to shame."
قُلْ كُلٌّ مُّتَرَبِّصٌ فَتَرَبَّصُوا۟ ۖ فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلصِّرَٰطِ ٱلسَّوِىِّ وَمَنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ ﴿١٣٥﴾
20:135 Say: "Each one (of us) Is waiting: wait ye, therefore, And soon shall ye know Who it is that is On the straight and even Way, and who it is That has received guidance."
