They
said: "We believe in the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind,
jinn and all that exists). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
122. |
"The
Lord of Musa (Moses)
and Harun (Aaron)." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
123. |
Fir'aun
(Pharaoh)
said: "You have believed in him [Musa
(Moses)] before
I give you permission. Surely, this is a plot which you have plotted
in the city to drive out its people, but you shall come to know. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
124. |
"Surely,
I will cut off your hands and your feet from opposite sides, then
I will crucify you all." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
125. |
They
said: "Verily, we are returning to our Lord. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 126. |
"And
you take vengeance on us only because we believed in the Ayat
(proofs, evidences,
lessons, signs, etc.)
of our Lord when they reached us! Our Lord! pour out on us patience,
and cause us to die as Muslims." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
127. |
The
chiefs of Fir'aun's (Pharaoh)
people said: "Will you leave Musa (Moses)
and his people to spread mischief in the land, and to abandon you
and your gods?" He said: "We will kill their sons, and let live their
women, and we have indeed irresistible power over them." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
128. |
Musa
(Moses)
said to his people: "Seek help in Allah and be patient. Verily, the
earth is Allah's. He gives it as a heritage to whom He wills of His
slaves, and the (blessed)
end is for the Muttaqun (pious
- see V.2:2)." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 129. |
They
said: "We (Children
of Israel) had
suffered troubles before you came to us, and since you have come to
us." He said: "It may be that your Lord will destroy your
enemy and make you successors on the earth, so that He may see how
you act?" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 130. |
And
indeed We punished the people of Fir'aun (Pharaoh)
with years of drought and shortness of fruits (crops),
that they might remember (take
heed). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
131. |
But
whenever good came to them, they said: "Ours is this." And if evil
afflicted them, they ascribed it to evil omens connected with Musa
(Moses)
and those with him. Be informed! Verily, their evil omens are with
Allah but most of them know not. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 132. |
They
said [to Musa
(Moses)]: "Whatever
Ayat (proofs,
evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)
you may bring to us, to work therewith your sorcery on us, we shall
never believe in you." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 133. |
So
We sent on them: the flood, the locusts, the lice, the frogs, and
the blood: (as
a succession of)
manifest signs, yet they remained arrogant, and they were of those
people who were Mujrimun (criminals,
polytheists, sinners). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
134. |
And
when the punishment fell on them they said: "O Musa (Moses)!
Invoke your Lord for us because of His Promise to you. If you remove
the punishment from us, we indeed shall believe in you, and we shall
let the Children of Israel go with you." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
135. |
But
when We removed the punishment from them to a fixed term, which they
had to reach, behold! They broke their word! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 136. |
So
We took retribution from them. We drowned them in the sea, because
they belied Our Ayat (proofs,
evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)
and were heedless about them. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 137. |
And
We made the people who were considered weak to inherit the eastern
parts of the land and the western parts thereof which We have blessed.
And the fair Word of your Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel,
because of their endurance. And We destroyed completely all the great
works and buildings which Fir'aun (Pharaoh)
and his people erected. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 138. |
And
We brought the Children of Israel (with
safety) across
the sea, and they came upon a people devoted to some of their idols
(in worship).
They said: "O Musa (Moses)!
Make for us an ilahan (a
god) as they
have alihah (gods)."
He said: "Verily, you are a people who know not (the
Majesty and Greatness of Allah and what is obligatory upon you, i.e.
to worship none but Allah Alone, the One and the Only God of all that
exists)." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 139. |
[Musa
(Moses) added:]
"Verily, these people will be destroyed for that which they are
engaged in (idols-worship).
And all that they are doing is in vain." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 140. |
He
said: "Shall I seek for you an Ilaha (a
god) other than
Allah, while He has given you superiority over the 'Alamin
(mankind and jinn of
your time)." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 141. |
And
(remember)
when We rescued you from Fir'aun's (Pharaoh)
people, who were afflicting you with the worst torment, killing your
sons and letting your women live. And in that was a great trial from
your Lord. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 142. |
And
We appointed for Musa (Moses)
thirty nights and added (to
the period) ten
(more),
and he completed the term, appointed by his Lord, of forty nights.
And Musa (Moses)
said to his brother Harun (Aaron):
"Replace me among my people, act in the Right Way (by
ordering the people to obey Allah and to worship Him Alone)
and follow not the way of the Mufsidun (mischief-makers)." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 143. |
And
when Musa (Moses)
came at the time and place appointed by Us, and his Lord (Allah)
spoke to him, he said: "O my Lord! Show me (Yourself),
that I may look upon You." Allah said: "You cannot see Me, but look
upon the mountain if it stands still in its place then you shall see
Me." So when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He made it collapse
to dust, and Musa (Moses)
fell down unconscious. Then when he recovered his senses he said:
"Glory be to You, I turn to You in repentance and I am the first of
the believers." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 144. |
(Allah)
said: "O Musa (Moses)
I have chosen you above men by My Messages, and by My speaking
(to you).
So hold that which I have given you and be of the grateful." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 145. |
And
We wrote for him on the Tablets the lesson to be drawn from all things
and the explanation for all things (and
said): Hold unto
these with firmness, and enjoin your people to take the better therein.
I shall show you the home of Al-Fasiqun (the
rebellious, disobedient to Allah). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 146. |
I
shall turn away from My Ayat (verses
of the Qur-an)
those who behave arrogantly on the earth, without a right, and
(even)
if they see all the Ayat (proofs,
evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.),
they will not believe in them. And if they see the way of righteousness
(monotheism,
piety, and good deeds),
they will not adopt it as the Way, but if they see the way of error
(polytheism,
crimes and evil deeds),
they will adopt that way, that is because they have rejected Our Ayat
(proofs, evidences,
verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)
and were heedless (to
learn a lesson)
from them. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 147. |
Those
who deny Our Ayat (proofs,
evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)
and the Meeting in the Hereafter (Day
of Resurrection),
vain are their deeds. Are they requited with anything except what
they used to do? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 148. |
And
the people of Musa (Moses)
made in his absence, out of their ornaments, the image of a calf
(for worship).
It had a sound (as
if it was mooing).
Did they not see that it could neither speak to them nor guide them
to the way? They took it (for
worship) and
they were Zalimun (wrong-doers). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 149. |
And
when they regretted and saw that they had gone astray, they
(repented and)
said: "If our Lord have not mercy upon us and forgive us, we
shall certainly be of the losers." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 150. |
And
when Musa (Moses)
returned to his people, angry and grieved, he said: "What an
evil thing is that which you have done (i.e.
worshipping the calf)
during my absence. Did you hasten and go ahead as regards the matter
of your Lord (you
left His worship)?"
And he threw down the Tablets and seized his brother by (the
hair of) his
head and dragged him towards him. Harun (Aaron)
said: "O son of my mother! Indeed the people judged me weak and were
about to kill me, so make not the enemies rejoice over me, nor put
me amongst the people who are Zalimun (wrong-doers)." |
