Musa (Moses) said to them: "Woe unto you! Invent not a lie against Allah,
lest He should destroy you completely by a torment. And surely, he
who invents a lie (against
Allah) will fail miserably." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 62. |
Then
they debated with one another what they must do, and they kept their
talk secret. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 63. |
They
said: "Verily! These are two magicians. Their object is to drive
you out from your land with magic, and overcome your chiefs and nobles. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 64. |
"So
devise your plot, and then assemble in line. And whoever overcomes
this day will be indeed successful." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 65. |
They
said: "O Musa (Moses)!
Either you throw first or we be the first to throw?" |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 66. |
[Musa (Moses)] said: "Nay, throw
you (first)!"
Then behold, their ropes and their sticks, by their magic, appeared
to him as though they moved fast. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 67. |
So
Musa (Moses) conceived a fear in himself. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 68. |
We (Allah) said: "Fear not! Surely, you will have the upper hand. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 69. |
"And
throw that which is in your right hand! It will swallow up that which
they have made. That which they have made is only a magician's trick,
and the magician will never be successful, no matter whatever amount (of skill) he may attain." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 70. |
So
the magicians fell down prostrate. They said: "We believe in
the Lord of Harun (Aaron) and Musa (Moses)." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 71. |
[Fir'aun
(Pharaoh)] said: "Believe
you in him [Musa (Moses)] before I give you permission? Verily! He is your chief who taught
you magic. So I will surely cut off your hands and feet on opposite
sides, and I will surely crucify you on the trunks of date-palms,
and you shall surely know which of us [I
(Fir'aun Pharaoh) or the Lord of Musa (Moses) (Allah)] can give the severe and more lasting torment." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 72. |
They
said: "We prefer you not over the clear signs that have come
to us, and to Him (Allah) Who created us. So decree whatever you desire to decree, for you can
only decree (regarding) this life of the world. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 73. |
"Verily!
We have believed in our Lord, that He may forgive us our faults, and
the magic to which you did compel us. And Allah is better as regards
reward in comparison to your [Fir'aun's
(Pharaoh)] reward, and more
lasting (as regards punishment
in comparison to your punishment)." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 74. |
Verily!
Whoever comes to his Lord as a Mujrim (criminal,
polytheist, disbeliever in the Oneness of Allah and His Messengers,
sinner, etc.), then surely,
for him is Hell, therein he will neither die nor live. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 75. |
But
whoever comes to Him (Allah) as a believer (in the Oneness
of Allah, etc.), and has done
righteous good deeds, for such are the high ranks (in
the Hereafter), |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 76. |
'Adn (Edn) Paradise (everlasting Gardens),
under which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever: such is
the reward of those who purify themselves [(by
abstaining from all kinds of sins and evil deeds) which Allah has
forbidden and by doing all that which Allah has ordained)]. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 77. |
And
indeed We inspired Musa (Moses)
(saying): "Travel by night
with Ibadi (My slaves) and strike a dry path for them in the sea, fearing neither to be overtaken [by Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] nor being afraid (of drowning
in the sea)." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 78. |
Then
Fir'aun (Pharaoh) pursued them with his hosts, but the sea-water completely overwhelmed
them and covered them up. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 79. |
And
Fir'aun (Pharaoh) led his people astray, and he did not guide them. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 80. |
O
Children of Israel! We delivered you from your enemy, and We made
a covenant with you on the right side of the Mount, and We sent down
to you Al-Manna and quails, |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 81. |
(Saying) eat of the Taiyibat (good lawful
things) wherewith We have provided
you, and commit no oppression therein, lest My Anger should justly
descend on you. And he on whom My Anger descends, he is indeed perished. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 82. |
And
verily, I am indeed Forgiving to him who repents, believes (in My Oneness, and associates none
in worship with Me) and does
righteous good deeds, and then remains constant in doing them, (till his death). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 83. |
"And
what made you hasten from your people, O Musa (Moses)?" |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 84. |
He
said: "They are close on my footsteps, and I hastened to You,
O my Lord, that You might be pleased." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 85. |
(Allah) said: "Verily! We have tried your people in your absence, and
As-Samiri has led them astray." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 86. |
Then
Musa (Moses) returned to his people in a state of anger and sorrow. He said: "O
my people! Did not your Lord promise you a fair promise? Did then
the promise seem to you long in coming? Or did you desire that wrath
should descend from your Lord on you, so you broke your promise to
me (i.e disbelieving in Allah and worshipping the calf)?" |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 87. |
They
said: "We broke not the promise to you, of our own will, but
we were made to carry the weight of the ornaments of the [Fir'aun's
(Pharaoh)] people, then we cast
them (into the fire),
and that was what As-Samiri suggested." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 88. |
Then
he took out (of the fire) for them a statue of a calf which seemed to low. They said: "This
is your ilah (god),
and the ilah (god) of Musa (Moses),
but [Musa (Moses)] has forgotten (his god)." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 89. |
Did
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? |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 90. |
And
Harun (Aaron) indeed had said to them beforehand: "O my people! You are being
tried in this, and verily, your Lord is (Allah) the Most Beneficent, so follow me and obey my order." |
