Musa
(Moses)
said: "O my Lord! Forgive me and my brother, and admit us into Your
Mercy, for You are the Most Merciful of those who show mercy." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
152. |
Certainly,
those who took the calf (for
worship), wrath
from their Lord and humiliation will come upon them in the life of
this world. Thus do We recompense those who invent lies. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
153. |
But
those who committed evil deeds and then repented afterwards and believed,
verily, your Lord after (all)
that is indeed Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
154. |
And
when the anger of Musa (Moses)
was calmed down
(appeased), he
took up the Tablets, and in their inscription was guidance and mercy
for those who fear their Lord. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
155. |
And
Musa (Moses)
chose out of his people seventy (of
the best) men
for Our appointed time and place of meeting, and when they were seized
with a violent earthquake, he said: "O my Lord, if it had been Your
Will, You could have destroyed them and me before; would You destroy
us for the deeds of the foolish ones among us? It is only Your Trial
by which You lead astray whom You will, and keep guided whom You will.
You are our Wali (Protector),
so forgive us and have Mercy on us, for You are the Best of those
who forgive. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 156. |
And
ordain for us good in this world, and in the Hereafter. Certainly
we have turned unto You." He said: (As
to) My Punishment
I afflict therewith whom I will and My Mercy embraces all things.
That (Mercy)
I shall ordain for those who are the Muttaqun (pious
- see V.2:2),
and give Zakat; and those who believe in Our Ayat (proofs,
evidences, verses, lessons, signs and revelations, etc.); |
|
|
|
|
|
|
157. |
Those
who follow the Messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write
(i.e.Muhammad
SAW) whom they
find written with them in the Taurat (Torah)
(Deut, xviii, 15)
and the Injeel (Gospel)
(John xiv, 16),
- he commands them for Al-Ma'ruf (i.e.
Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam has ordained);
and forbids them from Al-Munkar (i.e.
disbelief, polytheism of all kinds, and all that Islam has forbidden);
he allows them as lawful At-Tayyibat (i.e.
all good and lawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons, foods),
and prohibits them as unlawful Al-Khaba'ith (i.e.
all evil and unlawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons and
foods), he releases
them from their heavy burdens (of
Allah's Covenant wit the children of Israel),
and from the fetters
(bindings) that
were upon them. So those who believe in him (Muhammad
SAW), honour
him, help him, and follow the light (the
Qur-an) which
has been sent down with him, it is they who will be successful. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
158. |
Say
(O Muhammad
SAW): "O mankind!
Verily, I am sent to you all as the Messenger of Allah - to Whom belongs
the dominion of the heavens and the earth. La ilaha illa Huwa
(none has the right
to be worshipped but He);
It is He Who gives life and causes death. So believe in Allah and
His Messenger (Muhammad
SAW), the Prophet
who can neither read nor write (i.e.
Muhammad SAW)
who believes in Allah and His Words [(this
Qur-an), the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)]
and also Allah's Word: "Be!" - and he was, i.e. 'Isa (Jesus)
son of Maryam (Mary),
and follow him so that you may be guided." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 159. |
And
of the people of Musa (Moses)
there is a community who lead (the
men) with truth
and establish justice therewith (i.e.
judge among men with truth and justice). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 160. |
And
We divided them into twelve tribes (as
distinct) nations.
We revealed to Musa (Moses)
when his people asked him for water, (saying):
"Strike the stone with your stick", and there gushed forth
out of it twelve springs: each group knew its own place for water.
We shaded them with the clouds and sent down upon them Al-Manna and
the quails (saying):
"Eat of the good things with which We have provided you."
They harmed Us not but they used to harm themselves. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
161. |
And
(remember)
when it was said to them: "Dwell in this town (Jerusalem)
and eat therefrom wherever you wish, and say, '(O
Allah) forgive
our sins'; and enter the gate prostrate (bowing
with humility).
We shall forgive you your wrong-doings. We shall increase
(the reward)
for the good-doers." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 162. |
But
those among them who did wrong changed the word that had been told
to them. So We sent on them a torment from the heaven in return for
their wrong-doings. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 163. |
And
ask them (O
Muhammad SAW)
about the town that was by the sea, when they transgressed in the
matter of the Sabbath (i.e.
Saturday): when
their fish came to them openly on the Sabbath day, and did not come
to them on the day they had no Sabbath. Thus We made a trial of them
for they used to rebel against Allah's Command (disobey
Allah) [see the Qur-an: V.4:154 and its footnote]. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
164. |
And
when a community among them said: "Why do you preach to a people
whom Allah is about to destroy or to punish with a severe torment?"
(The preachers)
said: "In order to be free from guilt before your Lord
(Allah),
and perhaps they may fear Allah." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
165. |
So
when they forgot the remindings that had been given to them, We rescued
those who forbade evil, but We seized those who did wrong with a severe
torment because they used to rebel against Allah's Command
(disobey Allah). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 166. |
So
when they exceeded the limits of what they were prohibited, We said
to them: "Be you monkeys, despised and rejected."
(It is a severe warning
to the mankind that they should not disobey what Allah commands them
to do, and be far away from what He prohibits them). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 167. |
And
(remember)
when your Lord declared that He would certainly keep on sending against
them (i.e. the
Jews), till the
Day of Resurrection, those who would afflict them with a humiliating
torment. Verily, your Lord is Quick in Retribution (for
the disobedient, wicked)
and certainly He is OftForgiving, Most Merciful (for
the obedient and those who beg Allah's Forgiveness). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 168. |
And
We have broken them (i.e.
the Jews) up
into various separate groups on the earth, some of them are righteous
and some are away from that. And We tried them with good (blessings)
and evil (calamities)
in order that they might turn (to
Allah's Obedience). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 169. |
Then
after them succeeded an (evil)
generation, which inherited the Book, but they chose (for
themselves) the
goods of this low life (evil
pleasures of this world)
saying (as an
excuse): "(Everything)
will be forgiven to us." And if (again)
the offer of the like (evil
pleasures of this world)
came their way, they would
(again) seize
them (would
commit those sins).
Was not the covenant of the Book taken from them that they would not
say about Allah anything but the truth? And they have studied what
is in it (the
Book). And the
home of the Hereafter is better for those who are Al-Muttaqun
(the pious - see V.2:2).
Do not you then understand? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 170. |
And
as to those who hold fast to the Book (i.e.
act on its teachings)
and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat),
certainly, We shall never waste the reward of those who do righteous
deeds. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 171. |
And
(remember)
when We raised the mountain over them as if it had been a canopy,
and they thought that it was going to fall on them. (We
said): "Hold firmly to what We have given you [i.e.
the Taurat (Torah)],
and remember that which is therein (act
on its commandments),
so that you may fear Allah and obey Him." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 172. |
And
(remember)
when your Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their
loins, their seed (or
from Adam's loin his offspring)
and made them testify as to themselves (saying):
"Am I not your Lord?" They said: "Yes! We testify,"
lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection: "Verily, we have
been unaware of this." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 173. |
Or
lest you should say: "It was only our fathers afortime who took others
as partners in worship along with Allah, and we were (merely
their) descendants
after them; will You then destroy us because of the deeds of men who
practised Al-Batil (i.e.
polytheism and committing crimes and sins, invoking and worshipping
others besides Allah)?"
(Tafsir At-Tabari). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 174. |
Thus
do We explain the Ayat (proofs,
evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)
in detail, so that they may turn (unto
the truth). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 175. |
And
recite (O Muhammad
SAW) to them
the story of him to whom We gave Our Ayat (proofs,
evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.),
but he threw them away, so Shaitan (Satan)
followed him up, and he became of those who went astray. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 176. |
And
had We willed, We would surely have elevated him therewith but he
clung to the earth and followed his own vain desire. So his parable
is the parable of a dog: if you drive him away, he lolls his tongue
out, or if you leave him alone, he (still)
lolls his tongue out. Such is the parable of the people who reject
Our Ayat (proofs,
evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.).
So relate the stories, perhaps they may reflect. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 177. |
Evil
is the parable of the people who reject Our Ayat (proofs,
evidences, verses and signs, etc.),
and used to wrong their ownselves. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 178. |
Whomsoever
Allah guides, he is the guided one, and whomsoever He sends astray,
then those! They are the losers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 179. |
And
surely, We have created many of the jinn and mankind for Hell. They
have hearts wherewith they understand not, and they have eyes wherewith
they see not, and they have ears wherewith they hear not (the
truth). They
are like cattle, nay even more astray; those! They are the heedless
ones. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 180. |
And
(all)
the Most Beautiful Names belong to Allah, so call on Him by them,
and leave the company of those who belie or deny (or
utter impious speech against)
His Names. They will be requited for what they used to do. |
