91. They said: "We will not stop worshipping it (i.e. the calf), until Musa (Moses) returns to us."
   
 
92. [Musa (Moses)] said: "O Harun (Aaron)! What prevented you when you saw them going astray;
   
 
93. "That you followed me not (according to my advice to you)? Have you then disobeyed my order?"
   
 
94. He [Harun (Aaron)] said: "O son of my mother! Seize (me) not by my beard, nor by my head! Verily, I feared lest you should say: ‘You have caused a division among the Children of Israel, and you have not respected my word!’ "
   
 
95. [Musa (Moses)] said: "And what is the matter with you. O Samirî? (i.e. why did you do so?)"
   
 
96. (Samirî) said: "I saw what they saw not, so I took a handful (of dust) from the (hoof) print of the messenger [Jibril’s (Gabriel) horse] and threw it [into the fire in which were put the ornaments of Fir‘aun’s (Pharaoh) people, or into the calf]. Thus my inner-self suggested to me."
   
 
97. Musa (Moses) said: "Then go away! And verily, your (punishment) in this life will be that you will say: "Touch me not (i.e. you will live alone exiled away from mankind); and verily (for a future torment), you have a promise that will not fail. And look at your ilah (god) to which you have been devoted. We will certainly burn it, and scatter its particles in the sea."
   
 
98. Yourilah(God) is only Allah, (the One) La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). He has full knowledge of all things.
   
 
99. Thus We relate to you [O Muhammad (Peace be upon him) some information of what happened before. And indeed We have given you from Us a Reminder (this Qur-an).
   
 
100. Whoever turns away from it (this Qur-an - i.e. does not believe in it, nor acts on its orders), verily, they will bear a heavy burden (of sins) on the Day of Resurrection,
   
 
101. They will abide in that (state in the Fire of Hell) - and evil indeed will it be that load for them on the Day of Resurrection;
   
 
102. The Day when the Trumpet will be blown (the second blowing): that Day, We shall gather the Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists, sinners, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) blue or blind-eyed with thirst.
   
 
103. They will speak in a very low voice to each other (saying): "You stayed not longer than ten (days)."
   
 
104. We know very well what they will say, when the best among them in knowledge and wisdom will say: "You stayed no longer than a day!"
   
 
105. And they ask you concerning the mountains: say, "My Lord will blast them and scatter them as particles of dust.
   
 
106. "Then He shall leave them as a level smooth plain.
   
 
107. "You will see therein nothing crooked or curved."
   
 
108. On that Day mankind will follow strictly (the voice of) Allah’s caller, no crookedness (that is without going to the right or left of that voice) will they show him (Allah’s caller). And all voices will be humbled for the Most Gracious (Allah), and nothing shall you hear but the low voice of their footsteps.
   
 
109. On that day no intercession shall avail, except the one for whom the Most Gracious (Allah) has given permission and whose word is acceptable to Him.
   
 
110. He (Allah) knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them (in the Hereafter) but they will never compass anything of His Knowledge.
   
 
111. And (all) faces shall be humbled before (Allah), Al-Hayyul-Qayyum (the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists). And he who carried (a burden of) wrongdoing (i.e. he who disbelieved in Allah, ascribed partners to Him, and did deeds of His disobedience), will be indeed a complete failure (on that Day).
   
 
112. And he who works deeds of righteousness, while he is a believer (in Islamic Monotheism), then he will have no fear of injustice, nor of any curtailment (of his reward).
   
 
113. And thus We have sent it down as a Qur-an in Arabic, and have explained therein in detail the warnings, in order that they may fear Allâh, or that it may cause them to have a lesson from it (or to have the honour for believing and acting on its teachings).
   
 
114. Then High above all be Allah, the True King. And be not in haste [O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)] with the Qur-an before its revelation is completed to you, and say: "My Lord! Increase me in knowledge."
   
 
115. And indeed We made a covenant with Adam before, but he forgot, and We found on his part no firm will-power.
   
 
116. And (remember) when We said to the angels: "Prostrate yourselves to Adam." They prostrated themselves (all) except Iblis (Satan) he refused.
   
 
117. Then We said: "O Adam! Verily, this is an enemy to you and to your wife. So let him not get you both out of Paradise, so that you will be distressed.
   
 
118. Verily, you have (a promise from Us) that you will never be hungry therein nor naked.
   
 
119. And you (will) suffer not from thirst therein nor from the sun’s heat.
   
 
120. Then Shaytan (Satan) whispered to him, saying: "O Adam! Shall I lead you to the Tree of Eternity and to a kingdom that will never waste away?"
