Throw
down your staff. And when he saw it writhing as it had been a demon,
he turned to flee headlong, (and
it was said unto him): O Moses
{Musa}!
Draw nigh and fear not. Lo! you are of those who are secure. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
32. |
Thrust
your hand into the bosom of your robe, it will come forth white without
hurt. And guard your heart from fear. Then these shall be two proofs
from your Lord unto Pharaoh and his chiefs: Lo! they are evil living
folk. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
33. |
He
said: My Lord! Lo! I killed a man among them and I fear that they
will kill me. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
34. |
My
brother Aaron is more eloquent then me in speech. Therefor send him
with me as a helper to confirm me. Lo! 1 fear that they will give
the lie to me. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
35. |
He
said: We will strengthen your arm with your brother, and We will give
unto you both power so that they cannot reach you for Our portents.
You twain, and those who follow you, will be the winners. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 36. |
But
when Moses {Musa}
came unto them with Our clear tokens, they said: This is naught but
invented magic. We never heard of this among our fathers of old. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
37. |
And
Moses {Musa}
said: My Lord is best aware of him who brings guidance from His presence,
and whose will be the sequel of the Home (of
bliss). Lo! wrong-doers will
not be successful. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
38. |
And
Pharaoh said: O chiefs! I know not that you have a god other than
me, so kindle for me (a fire)
, O Haman, to bake the mud; and set up for me a lofty tower in order
that I may survey the god of Moses {Musa};
and lo! I deem him of the liars. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 39. |
And
he and his hosts were haughty in the land without right, and deemed
that they would never be brought back to Us. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 40. |
Therefor
We seized him and his hosts, and abandoned them unto the sea. Behold
the nature of the consequence for evil-doers! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
41. |
And
We made them patterns that invite unto the Fire, and on the Day of
Resurrection they will not be helped. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
42. |
And
We made a curse to follow them in this world, and on the Day of Resurrection
they will be among the hateful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 43. |
And
We verily gave the Scripture unto Moses {Musa}
after We had destroyed the generations of old; clear testimonies for
humankind, and a guidance and a mercy, that haply {by
chance} they might reflect. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
44. |
And
you (Muhammad)
wast not on the western side (of
the Mount) when We expounded
unto Moses {Musa}
the commandment, and you wast not among those present; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
45. |
But
We brought forth generations, and their lives dragged on for them.
And you wast not a dweller in Midian, reciting unto them Our revelations,
but We kept sending (messengers
to men). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
46. |
And
you wast not beside the Mount when We did call; but (the
knowledge of it is) a mercy
from your Lord that you may warn a folk unto whom no warner came before
you, that haply {by chance}
they may give heed. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 47. |
Otherwise,
if disaster should afflict them because of that which their own hands
have sent before (them),
they might say: Our Lord! Why sent You no messenger unto us, that
we might have followed Your revelations and been of the believers? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
48. |
But
when there came unto them the Truth from Our presence, they said:
Why is he not given the like of what was given unto Moses {Musa}?
Did they not disbelieve in that which was given unto Moses
{Musa}
of old? They say: Two magics that support each other; and they say:
Lo! in both we are disbelievers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 49. |
Say
(unto them, O Muhammad):
Then bring a Scripture from the presence of Allah that gives clearer
guidance than these two (that)
I may follow it, if you are truthful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 50. |
And
if they answer you not, then know that what they follow is their lusts.
And who goes farther astray than he who follows his lust without guidance
from Allah. Lo! Allah guides not wrongdoing folk. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
51. |
And
now verily We have caused the Word to reach them, that haply {by
chance} they may give heed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
52. |
Those
unto whom We gave the Scripture before it, they believe in it. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 53. |
And
when it is recited unto them, they say: We believe in it. Lo! it is
the Truth from our Lord. Lo! even before it we were of those who surrender
(unto Him). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
54. |
These
will be given their reward twice over, because they are steadfast
and repel evil with good, and spend of that wherewith We have provided
them. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
55. |
And
when they hear vanity they withdraw from it and say: Unto us our works
and unto you your works. Peace be unto you! We desire not the ignorant. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
56. |
Lo!
you (O Muhammad)
guidest not whom you lovest, but Allah guides whom He will. And He
is best aware of those who walk aright. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
57. |
And
they say: If we were to follow the Guidance with you we should be
torn out of our land. Have We not established for them a sure sanctuary,
whereunto the produce of all things is brought (in
trade), a provision from Our
presence? But most of them know not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
58. |
And
how many a community have We destroyed that was thankless for its
means of livelihood! And yonder are their dwellings, which have not
been inhabited after them save a little. And We, even We, were the
inheritors. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
59. |
And
never did your Lord destroy the townships, till He had raised up in
their mother (town)
a messenger reciting unto them Our revelations. And never did We destroy
the townships unless the folk thereof were evil-doers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 60. |
And
whatsoever you have been given is a comfort of the life of the world
and an ornament thereof; and that which Allah has is better and more
lasting. Have you then no sense? |
