تِلْكَ اٰيٰتُ الْكِتٰبِ الْمُبِيْنِ

tilka āyātul-kitābil-mubīn

These are the verses of the illuminating Book.

نَتْلُوْا عَلَيْكَ مِنْ نَّبَاِ مُوْسٰى وَفِرْعَوْنَ بِالْحَقِّ لِقَوْمٍ يُّؤْمِنُوْنَ

natlụ 'alaika min naba`i mụsā wa fir'auna bil-ḥaqqi liqaumiy yu`minụn

We narrate to you from the history of Moses and Pharaoh in all verity for those who believe.

اِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ عَلَا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَجَعَلَ اَهْلَهَا شِيَعًا يَّسْتَضْعِفُ طَاۤىِٕفَةً مِّنْهُمْ يُذَبِّحُ اَبْنَاۤءَهُمْ وَيَسْتَحْيٖ نِسَاۤءَهُمْ ۗاِنَّهٗ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُفْسِدِيْنَ

inna fir'auna 'alā fil-arḍi wa ja'ala ahlahā syiya'ay yastaḍ'ifu ṭā`ifatam min-hum yużabbiḥu abnā`ahum wa yastaḥyī nisā`ahum, innahụ kāna minal-mufsidīn

The Pharaoh had become high and mighty in the land and divided the people into different classes and impoverished one class slaying its males and sparing its women for he was indeed a tyrant.

وَنُرِيْدُ اَنْ نَّمُنَّ عَلَى الَّذِيْنَ اسْتُضْعِفُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَنَجْعَلَهُمْ اَىِٕمَّةً وَّنَجْعَلَهُمُ الْوٰرِثِيْنَ ۙ

wa nurīdu an namunna 'alallażīnastuḍ'ifụ fil-arḍi wa naj'alahum a immataw wa naj'alahumul-wāriṡīn

We wished to favour those who were weak in the land and make them leaders and heirs

وَنُمَكِّنَ لَهُمْ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَنُرِيَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامٰنَ وَجُنُوْدَهُمَا مِنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا يَحْذَرُوْنَ

wa numakkina lahum fil-arḍi wa nuriya fir'auna wa hāmāna wa junụdahumā min-hum mā kānụ yaḥżarụn

And establish them in the country; and to make the Pharaoh Haman and their hordes beware of what they feared from them.

وَاَوْحَيْنَآ اِلٰٓى اُمِّ مُوْسٰٓى اَنْ اَرْضِعِيْهِۚ فَاِذَا خِفْتِ عَلَيْهِ فَاَلْقِيْهِ فِى الْيَمِّ وَلَا تَخَافِيْ وَلَا تَحْزَنِيْ ۚاِنَّا رَاۤدُّوْهُ اِلَيْكِ وَجَاعِلُوْهُ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ

wa auḥainā ilā ummi mụsā an arḍi'īh, fa iżā khifti 'alaihi fa alqīhi fil-yammi wa lā takhāfī wa lā taḥzanī, innā rāddụhu ilaiki wa jā'ilụhu minal-mursalīn

So We conveyed to the mother of Moses: "Suckle him. If you are afraid for him cast him in the river without any fear or regret for We shall restore him to you and make him an apostle."

فَالْتَقَطَهٗٓ اٰلُ فِرْعَوْنَ لِيَكُوْنَ لَهُمْ عَدُوًّا وَّحَزَنًاۗ اِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامٰنَ وَجُنُوْدَهُمَا كَانُوْا خٰطِـِٕيْنَ

faltaqaṭahū ālu fir'auna liyakụna lahum 'aduwwaw wa ḥazanā, inna fir'auna wa hāmāna wa junụdahumā kānụ khāṭi`īn

Then he was picked up by the family of Pharaoh (unaware) that he would become their enemy and a cause for regret. Surely the Pharaoh Haman and their hordes were habitual sinners.

وَقَالَتِ امْرَاَتُ فِرْعَوْنَ قُرَّتُ عَيْنٍ لِّيْ وَلَكَۗ لَا تَقْتُلُوْهُ ۖعَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّنْفَعَنَآ اَوْ نَتَّخِذَهٗ وَلَدًا وَّهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ

wa qālatimra`atu fir'auna qurratu 'ainil lī wa lak, lā taqtulụhu 'asā ay yanfa'anā au nattakhiżahụ waladaw wa hum lā yasy'urụn

The Pharaoh´s wife said: "He will be a comfort to me and to you. Do not kill him. He may well be of some advantage to us or we may adopt him as a son." They were not aware (of what the future held in store).

وَاَصْبَحَ فُؤَادُ اُمِّ مُوْسٰى فٰرِغًاۗ اِنْ كَادَتْ لَتُبْدِيْ بِهٖ لَوْلَآ اَنْ رَّبَطْنَا عَلٰى قَلْبِهَا لِتَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

wa aṣbaḥa fu`ādu ummi mụsā fārigā, ing kādat latubdī bihī lau lā ar rabaṭnā 'alā qalbihā litakụna minal-mu`minīn

The mother of Moses was perturbed in the morning. Had We not strengthened her heart to remain a believer she had almost given him away.

وَقَالَتْ لِاُخْتِهٖ قُصِّيْهِۗ فَبَصُرَتْ بِهٖ عَنْ جُنُبٍ وَّهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ ۙ

wa qālat li`ukhtihī quṣṣīh, fa baṣurat bihī 'an junubiw wa hum lā yasy'urụn

She told his sister: "Follow him." So she kept an eye on him from a distance unbeknown to them.

۞ وَحَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِ الْمَرَاضِعَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَقَالَتْ هَلْ اَدُلُّكُمْ عَلٰٓى اَهْلِ بَيْتٍ يَّكْفُلُوْنَهٗ لَكُمْ وَهُمْ لَهٗ نَاصِحُوْنَ

wa ḥarramnā 'alaihil-marāḍi'a ming qablu fa qālat hal adullukum 'alā ahli baitiy yakfulụnahụ lakum wa hum lahụ nāṣiḥụn

We made (Moses) refuse a wet nurse. So his sister said: "Should I tell you of a household that could bring him up for you and take care of him?"

فَرَدَدْنٰهُ اِلٰٓى اُمِّهٖ كَيْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَ وَلِتَعْلَمَ اَنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَّلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ

fa radadnāhu ilā ummihī kai taqarra 'ainuhā wa lā taḥzana wa lita'lama anna wa'dallāhi ḥaqquw wa lākinna akṡarahum lā ya'lamụn

Thus We restored him to his mother that she may be tranquil and not grieve and know that the promise of God is TRUE though most men do not know.

وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ اَشُدَّهٗ وَاسْتَوٰىٓ اٰتَيْنٰهُ حُكْمًا وَّعِلْمًاۗ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِى الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ

wa lammā balaga asyuddahụ wastawā ātaināhu ḥukmaw wa 'ilmā, wa każālika najzil-muḥsinīn

When he had grown up to full maturity We gave him wisdom and knowledge. Thus do We recompense the doers of good.

وَدَخَلَ الْمَدِيْنَةَ عَلٰى حِيْنِ غَفْلَةٍ مِّنْ اَهْلِهَا فَوَجَدَ فِيْهَا رَجُلَيْنِ يَقْتَتِلٰنِۖ هٰذَا مِنْ شِيْعَتِهٖ وَهٰذَا مِنْ عَدُوِّهٖۚ فَاسْتَغَاثَهُ الَّذِيْ مِنْ شِيْعَتِهٖ عَلَى الَّذِيْ مِنْ عَدُوِّهٖ ۙفَوَكَزَهٗ مُوْسٰى فَقَضٰى عَلَيْهِۖ قَالَ هٰذَا مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطٰنِۗ اِنَّهٗ عَدُوٌّ مُّضِلٌّ مُّبِيْنٌ

wa dakhalal-madīnata 'alā ḥīni gaflatim min ahlihā fa wajada fīhā rajulaini yaqtatilāni hāżā min syī'atihī wa hāżā min 'aduwwih, fastagāṡahullażī min syī'atihī 'alallażī min 'aduwwihī fa wakazahụ mụsā fa qaḍā 'alaihi qāla hāżā min 'amalisy-syaiṭān, innahụ 'aduwwum muḍillum mubīn

He came to the city when the people were in a care-free mood and saw two men quarrelling one belonging to his community the other to his enemies. The man who belonged to his community appealed for help against the one who belonged to the enemies. Moses struck him a blow with his fist and finished him off. "This is of Satan´s doing " he said. "He is certainly an enemy and a corrupter."

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّيْ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِيْ فَاغْفِرْ لِيْ فَغَفَرَ لَهٗ ۗاِنَّهٗ هُوَ الْغَفُوْرُ الرَّحِيْمُ

qāla rabbi innī ẓalamtu nafsī fagfir lī fa gafara lah, innahụ huwal-gafụrur-raḥīm

"O Lord " he prayed "I have done wrong forgive me." And God forgave him. Verily He is forgiving and kind.

قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَآ اَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ فَلَنْ اَكُوْنَ ظَهِيْرًا لِّلْمُجْرِمِيْنَ

qāla rabbi bimā an'amta 'alayya fa lan akụna ẓahīral lil-mujrimīn

(Moses) said: "O Lord as You have been gracious to me I will never aid the guilty."

فَاَصْبَحَ فِى الْمَدِيْنَةِ خَاۤىِٕفًا يَّتَرَقَّبُ فَاِذَا الَّذِى اسْتَنْصَرَهٗ بِالْاَمْسِ يَسْتَصْرِخُهٗ ۗقَالَ لَهٗ مُوْسٰٓى اِنَّكَ لَغَوِيٌّ مُّبِيْنٌ

fa aṣbaḥa fil-madīnati khā`ifay yataraqqabu fa iżallażistanṣarahụ bil-amsi yastaṣrikhuh, qāla lahụ mụsā innaka lagawiyyum mubīn

In the morning he came to the city fearful and hesitant. Just then he who had asked him for help the day before called out for help (again). "You are indeed a meddlesome fellow " Moses said to him.

فَلَمَّآ اَنْ اَرَادَ اَنْ يَّبْطِشَ بِالَّذِيْ هُوَ عَدُوٌّ لَّهُمَاۙ قَالَ يٰمُوْسٰٓى اَتُرِيْدُ اَنْ تَقْتُلَنِيْ كَمَا قَتَلْتَ نَفْسًاۢ بِالْاَمْسِۖ اِنْ تُرِيْدُ اِلَّآ اَنْ تَكُوْنَ جَبَّارًا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَمَا تُرِيْدُ اَنْ تَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُصْلِحِيْنَ

Then as he was about to lay hands on the one who was their common enemy he cried out: "O Moses do you want to kill me as you killed that person yesterday? You only want to be a tyrant in the land and no peacemaker."

وَجَاۤءَ رَجُلٌ مِّنْ اَقْصَى الْمَدِيْنَةِ يَسْعٰىۖ قَالَ يٰمُوْسٰٓى اِنَّ الْمَلَاَ يَأْتَمِرُوْنَ بِكَ لِيَقْتُلُوْكَ فَاخْرُجْ اِنِّيْ لَكَ مِنَ النّٰصِحِيْنَ

wa jā`a rajulum min aqṣal-madīnati yas'ā qāla yā mụsā innal-mala`a ya`tamirụna bika liyaqtulụka fakhruj innī laka minan-nāṣiḥīn

There came a man running from the other part of the city. "O Moses " he said "the chiefs are deliberating to kill you. Go away from the city. I wish you well."

فَخَرَجَ مِنْهَا خَاۤىِٕفًا يَّتَرَقَّبُ ۖقَالَ رَبِّ نَجِّنِيْ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ

fa kharaja min-hā khā`ifay yataraqqabu qāla rabbi najjinī minal-qaumiẓ-ẓālimīn

So he left the city fearful and hesitant (and) prayed: "O Lord deliver me from these wicked people."

وَلَمَّا تَوَجَّهَ تِلْقَاۤءَ مَدْيَنَ قَالَ عَسٰى رَبِّيْٓ اَنْ يَّهْدِيَنِيْ سَوَاۤءَ السَّبِيْلِ

wa lammā tawajjaha tilqā`a madyana qāla 'asā rabbī ay yahdiyanī sawā`as-sabīl

Then as he turned his face to Midian he said: "Maybe my Lord will show me the right way."

وَلَمَّا وَرَدَ مَاۤءَ مَدْيَنَ وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ اُمَّةً مِّنَ النَّاسِ يَسْقُوْنَ ەۖ وَوَجَدَ مِنْ دُوْنِهِمُ امْرَاَتَيْنِ تَذُوْدٰنِۚ قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُمَا ۗقَالَتَا لَا نَسْقِيْ حَتّٰى يُصْدِرَ الرِّعَاۤءُ وَاَبُوْنَا شَيْخٌ كَبِيْرٌ

And when he came to the waters of Midian he found a crowd of people watering (their flocks) and saw two maidens holding back (their cattle). He asked: "What is the trouble with you?" They said: "We cannot water our flock till the shepherds have driven away theirs and our father is a very old man."

فَسَقٰى لَهُمَا ثُمَّ تَوَلّٰىٓ اِلَى الظِّلِّ فَقَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّيْ لِمَآ اَنْزَلْتَ اِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيْرٌ

fa saqā lahumā ṡumma tawallā ilaẓ-ẓilli fa qāla rabbi innī limā anzalta ilayya min khairin faqīr

So he watered (their flock) and moved into the shade and prayed: "My Lord I have need of whatever good you send me."

فَجَاۤءَتْهُ اِحْدٰىهُمَا تَمْشِيْ عَلَى اسْتِحْيَاۤءٍ ۖقَالَتْ اِنَّ اَبِيْ يَدْعُوْكَ لِيَجْزِيَكَ اَجْرَ مَا سَقَيْتَ لَنَاۗ فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَهٗ وَقَصَّ عَلَيْهِ الْقَصَصَۙ قَالَ لَا تَخَفْۗ نَجَوْتَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ

Then one of the (maidens) came to him walking bashfully (and) said: "My father invites you that he may repay you for having watered our flock." So when (Moses) came to him and told him his story he said: "Have no fear. You have escaped from the wicked people."

قَالَتْ اِحْدٰىهُمَا يٰٓاَبَتِ اسْتَأْجِرْهُ ۖاِنَّ خَيْرَ مَنِ اسْتَأْجَرْتَ الْقَوِيُّ الْاَمِيْنُ

qālat iḥdāhumā yā abatista`jir-hu inna khaira manista`jartal-qawiyyul-amīn

Said one of the maidens: "O father employ him. Surely the best (man) to employ is one who is strong and honest."

قَالَ اِنِّيْٓ اُرِيْدُ اَنْ اُنْكِحَكَ اِحْدَى ابْنَتَيَّ هٰتَيْنِ عَلٰٓى اَنْ تَأْجُرَنِيْ ثَمٰنِيَ حِجَجٍۚ فَاِنْ اَتْمَمْتَ عَشْرًا فَمِنْ عِنْدِكَۚ وَمَآ اُرِيْدُ اَنْ اَشُقَّ عَلَيْكَۗ سَتَجِدُنِيْٓ اِنْ شَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ مِنَ الصّٰلِحِيْنَ

He said: "I would like to marry one of these two daughters of mine to you if you agree to work for me on hire for eight years. And if you stay on for ten it is up to you. I do not wish to impose any hardship on you. God willing you will find me a man of honour."

قَالَ ذٰلِكَ بَيْنِيْ وَبَيْنَكَۗ اَيَّمَا الْاَجَلَيْنِ قَضَيْتُ فَلَا عُدْوَانَ عَلَيَّۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰى مَا نَقُوْلُ وَكِيْلٌ

qāla żālika bainī wa bainak, ayyamal-ajalaini qaḍaitu fa lā 'udwāna 'alayy, wallāhu 'alā mā naqụlu wakīl

(Moses) said: "This is (agreed) between you and me. Whichever term I fulfil no injustice will be done to me. God is witness to our agreement."

۞ فَلَمَّا قَضٰى مُوْسَى الْاَجَلَ وَسَارَ بِاَهْلِهٖٓ اٰنَسَ مِنْ جَانِبِ الطُّوْرِ نَارًاۗ قَالَ لِاَهْلِهِ امْكُثُوْٓا اِنِّيْٓ اٰنَسْتُ نَارًا لَّعَلِّيْٓ اٰتِيْكُمْ مِّنْهَا بِخَبَرٍ اَوْ جَذْوَةٍ مِّنَ النَّارِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَصْطَلُوْنَ

When Moses had fulfilled the term and was journeying with his family he noticed a fire on the side of the mountain. "Wait here " he said to his family; "I have seen a fire. I may haply bring some news from there or an ember that you may warm yourselves."

فَلَمَّآ اَتٰىهَا نُوْدِيَ مِنْ شَاطِئِ الْوَادِ الْاَيْمَنِ فِى الْبُقْعَةِ الْمُبٰرَكَةِ مِنَ الشَّجَرَةِ اَنْ يّٰمُوْسٰٓى اِنِّيْٓ اَنَا اللّٰهُ رَبُّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۙ

When he drew near a voice called out to him from the tree on the blessed spot on the right side of the valley: "O Moses I am verily God the Lord of all the worlds.

وَاَنْ اَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ۗفَلَمَّا رَاٰهَا تَهْتَزُّ كَاَنَّهَا جَاۤنٌّ وَّلّٰى مُدْبِرًا وَّلَمْ يُعَقِّبْۗ يٰمُوْسٰٓى اَقْبِلْ وَلَا تَخَفْۗ اِنَّكَ مِنَ الْاٰمِنِيْنَ

Throw down your staff." When he saw it wriggling like a serpent he turned about and fled without turning. "O Moses approach " (said the Voice) "and have no fear. You will be safe.

اُسْلُكْ يَدَكَ فِيْ جَيْبِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَاۤءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوْۤءٍ ۖوَّاضْمُمْ اِلَيْكَ جَنَاحَكَ مِنَ الرَّهْبِ فَذٰنِكَ بُرْهَانٰنِ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ اِلٰى فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَا۟ىِٕهٖۗ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا قَوْمًا فٰسِقِيْنَ

Put your hand inside your shirt. It will come out white without a tarnish of blame; and do not be perturbed or afraid. These are two proofs from your Lord for the Pharaoh and his nobles. They are certainly a rebellious people."

He said: "O Lord I have killed a man of theirs and fear they would kill me.

وَاَخِيْ هٰرُوْنُ هُوَ اَفْصَحُ مِنِّيْ لِسَانًا فَاَرْسِلْهُ مَعِيَ رِدْءًا يُّصَدِّقُنِيْٓ ۖاِنِّيْٓ اَخَافُ اَنْ يُّكَذِّبُوْنِ

So send my brother Aaron with me as helper for he is more fluent than I with words that he should affirm me for I fear that they would call me a liar."

قَالَ سَنَشُدُّ عَضُدَكَ بِاَخِيْكَ وَنَجْعَلُ لَكُمَا سُلْطٰنًا فَلَا يَصِلُوْنَ اِلَيْكُمَا ۛبِاٰيٰتِنَا ۛ اَنْتُمَا وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَكُمَا الْغٰلِبُوْنَ

(And) God said: "We shall strengthen your arm with your brother and give you power with Our signs and give you authority so that they will not be able to harm you. Both of you and your followers will be victorious."

فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَهُمْ مُّوْسٰى بِاٰيٰتِنَا بَيِّنٰتٍ قَالُوْا مَا هٰذَآ اِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّفْتَرًىۙ وَّمَا سَمِعْنَا بِهٰذَا فِيْٓ اٰبَاۤىِٕنَا الْاَوَّلِيْنَ

But when Moses came to them with Our clear signs they said: "This is nothing but magic he has contrived for we have not heard of this from our fathers of old."

وَقَالَ مُوْسٰى رَبِّيْٓ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ جَاۤءَ بِالْهُدٰى مِنْ عِنْدِهٖ وَمَنْ تَكُوْنُ لَهٗ عَاقِبَةُ الدَّارِۗ اِنَّهٗ لَا يُفْلِحُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ

But Moses said: "My Lord knows well who has come with guidance from Him and for whom is the guerdon of Paradise. But surely the wicked will not prosper."

وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ يٰٓاَيُّهَا الْمَلَاُ مَا عَلِمْتُ لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَيْرِيْۚ فَاَوْقِدْ لِيْ يٰهَامٰنُ عَلَى الطِّيْنِ فَاجْعَلْ لِّيْ صَرْحًا لَّعَلِّيْٓ اَطَّلِعُ اِلٰٓى اِلٰهِ مُوْسٰىۙ وَاِنِّيْ لَاَظُنُّهٗ مِنَ الْكٰذِبِيْنَ

The Pharaoh said: "O nobles I am not aware of any other lord of yours but myself. So O Haman fire some clay (bricks) to build a tower for me that I may mount up (and see) the God of Moses; for I think he is a liar."

وَاسْتَكْبَرَ هُوَ وَجُنُوْدُهٗ فِى الْاَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَظَنُّوْٓا اَنَّهُمْ اِلَيْنَا لَا يُرْجَعُوْنَ

He and his soldiers had become arrogant in the land for no reason and did not think that they have to come back to Us in the end.

فَاَخَذْنٰهُ وَجُنُوْدَهٗ فَنَبَذْنٰهُمْ فِى الْيَمِّ ۚفَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ

So We seized him and his hordes and threw them into the sea. Behold then how was the end of the wicked!

وَجَعَلْنٰهُمْ اَىِٕمَّةً يَّدْعُوْنَ اِلَى النَّارِۚ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ لَا يُنْصَرُوْنَ

wa ja'alnāhum a immatay yad'ụna ilan-nār, wa yaumal-qiyāmati lā yunṣarụn

We made them the leaders of those who call to Hell; and on the Day of Judgement they will not be helped.

وَاَتْبَعْنٰهُمْ فِيْ هٰذِهِ الدُّنْيَا لَعْنَةً ۚوَيَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ هُمْ مِّنَ الْمَقْبُوْحِيْنَ

wa atba'nāhum fī hāżihid-dun-yā la'nah, wa yaumal-qiyāmati hum minal-maqbụḥīn

A curse lies upon them in this world and on the Day of Resurrection they will be despised.

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا مُوْسَى الْكِتٰبَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَآ اَهْلَكْنَا الْقُرُوْنَ الْاُوْلٰى بَصَاۤىِٕرَ لِلنَّاسِ وَهُدًى وَّرَحْمَةً لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُوْنَ

wa laqad ātainā mụsal-kitāba mim ba'di mā ahlaknal-qurụnal-ụlā baṣā`ira lin-nāsi wa hudaw wa raḥmatal la'allahum yatażakkarụn

After We had destroyed the earlier generations We gave Moses the Book as evidence for mankind and a guidance and grace so that they may remember.

وَمَا كُنْتَ بِجَانِبِ الْغَرْبِيِّ اِذْ قَضَيْنَآ اِلٰى مُوْسَى الْاَمْرَ وَمَا كُنْتَ مِنَ الشّٰهِدِيْنَ ۙ

wa mā kunta bijānibil-garbiyyi iż qaḍainā ilā mụsal-amra wa mā kunta minasy-syāhidīn

You were not there on the western side (of Mount Sinai) when We gave the commandments to Moses nor were you witness (to the event).

وَلٰكِنَّآ اَنْشَأْنَا قُرُوْنًا فَتَطَاوَلَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْعُمُرُۚ وَمَا كُنْتَ ثَاوِيًا فِيْٓ اَهْلِ مَدْيَنَ تَتْلُوْا عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتِنَاۙ وَلٰكِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِيْنَ

wa lākinnā ansya`nā qurụnan fa taṭāwala 'alaihimul-'umur, wa mā kunta ṡāwiyan fī ahli madyana tatlụ 'alaihim āyātinā wa lākinnā kunnā mursilīn

We raised (many more) generations and prolonged their lives. You did not live with the people of Midian nor recited to them Our revelations; but We kept on sending messengers.

وَمَا كُنْتَ بِجَانِبِ الطُّوْرِ اِذْ نَادَيْنَا وَلٰكِنْ رَّحْمَةً مِّنْ رَّبِّكَ لِتُنْذِرَ قَوْمًا مَّآ اَتٰىهُمْ مِّنْ نَّذِيْرٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُوْنَ

wa mā kunta bijānibiṭ-ṭụri iż nādainā wa lākir raḥmatam mir rabbika litunżira qaumam mā atāhum min nażīrim ming qablika la'allahum yatażakkarụn

You were not present on the side of Mount Sinai when We called. And all this (knowledge that you are given) is by the grace of your Lord so that you may warn a people to whom no admonisher had come before you that they may take heed;

وَلَوْلَآ اَنْ تُصِيْبَهُمْ مُّصِيْبَةٌ ۢبِمَا قَدَّمَتْ اَيْدِيْهِمْ فَيَقُوْلُوْا رَبَّنَا لَوْلَآ اَرْسَلْتَ اِلَيْنَا رَسُوْلًا فَنَتَّبِعَ اٰيٰتِكَ وَنَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

And in case disaster comes upon them for what they have done themselves they should say: "O Lord why did You not send an apostle to us that we should have followed Your commands and been with those who are believers;"

فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَهُمُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ عِنْدِنَا قَالُوْا لَوْلَآ اُوْتِيَ مِثْلَ مَآ اُوْتِيَ مُوْسٰىۗ اَوَلَمْ يَكْفُرُوْا بِمَآ اُوْتِيَ مُوْسٰى مِنْ قَبْلُۚ قَالُوْا سِحْرٰنِ تَظَاهَرَاۗ وَقَالُوْٓا اِنَّا بِكُلٍّ كٰفِرُوْنَ

fa lammā jā`ahumul-ḥaqqu min 'indinā qālụ lau lā ụtiya miṡla mā ụtiya mụsā, a wa lam yakfurụ bimā ụtiya mụsā ming qabl, qālụ siḥrāni taẓāharā, wa qālū innā bikulling kāfirụn

But when the truth came to them from Us they said: "Why is he not given the like of what was given to Moses?" Did they not disbelieve before in what was given to Moses? They said: "Both are imposters one like the other " and added: "We do not believe in either."

قُلْ فَأْتُوْا بِكِتٰبٍ مِّنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ هُوَ اَهْدٰى مِنْهُمَآ اَتَّبِعْهُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ

qul fa`tụ bikitābim min 'indillāhi huwa ahdā min-humā attabi'hu ing kuntum ṣādiqīn

Say: "Then bring a Book from God which gives better guidance than these so that I may follow it if you speak the truth."

فَاِنْ لَّمْ يَسْتَجِيْبُوْا لَكَ فَاعْلَمْ اَنَّمَا يَتَّبِعُوْنَ اَهْوَاۤءَهُمْۗ وَمَنْ اَضَلُّ مِمَّنِ اتَّبَعَ هَوٰىهُ بِغَيْرِ هُدًى مِّنَ اللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ

fa il lam yastajībụ laka fa'lam annamā yattabi'ụna ahwā`ahum, wa man aḍallu mim manittaba'a hawāhu bigairi hudam minallāh, innallāha lā yahdil-qaumaẓ-ẓālimīn

Then if they cannot give you an answer know that they are only following their lusts. And who can be farther astray than he who follows his lust without any guidance from God? And certainly God does not guide an unjust people.

۞ وَلَقَدْ وَصَّلْنَا لَهُمُ الْقَوْلَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُوْنَ ۗ

wa laqad waṣṣalnā lahumul-qaula la'allahum yatażakkarụn

We have been sending word to them that they may take a warning.

اَلَّذِيْنَ اٰتَيْنٰهُمُ الْكِتٰبَ مِنْ قَبْلِهٖ هُمْ بِهٖ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ

allażīna ātaināhumul-kitāba ming qablihī hum bihī yu`minụn

Those to whom We gave the Book before this do believe in it;

وَاِذَا يُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ قَالُوْٓا اٰمَنَّا بِهٖٓ اِنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّنَآ اِنَّا كُنَّا مِنْ قَبْلِهٖ مُسْلِمِيْنَ

wa iżā yutlā 'alaihim qālū āmannā bihī innahul-ḥaqqu mir rabbinā innā kunnā ming qablihī muslimīn

And when it is read out to them say: "We believe in it. It´s the truth from our Lord. We had committed ourselves before it came."

اُولٰۤىِٕكَ يُؤْتَوْنَ اَجْرَهُمْ مَّرَّتَيْنِ بِمَا صَبَرُوْا وَيَدْرَءُوْنَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ يُنْفِقُوْنَ

ulā`ika yu`tauna ajrahum marrataini bimā ṣabarụ wa yadra`ụna bil-ḥasanatis-sayyi`ata wa mimmā razaqnāhum yunfiqụn

These will be given their recompense twice for they persevered and repelled evil with good and spent of what We had given them.

وَاِذَا سَمِعُوا اللَّغْوَ اَعْرَضُوْا عَنْهُ وَقَالُوْا لَنَآ اَعْمَالُنَا وَلَكُمْ اَعْمَالُكُمْ ۖسَلٰمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ لَا نَبْتَغِى الْجٰهِلِيْنَ

wa iżā sami'ul-lagwa a'raḍụ 'an-hu wa qālụ lanā a'mālunā wa lakum a'mālukum salāmun 'alaikum lā nabtagil-jāhilīn

When they hear idle talk they turn aside and say: "To us our actions to you yours. Peace on you; we do not look for the ignorant."

اِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِيْ مَنْ اَحْبَبْتَ وَلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَهْدِيْ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ ۚوَهُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِيْنَ

innaka lā tahdī man aḥbabta wa lākinnallāha yahdī may yasyā`, wa huwa a'lamu bil-muhtadīn

You cannot guide any one you like: God guides whosoever He please. He knows best who will come to guidance.

وَقَالُوْٓا اِنْ نَّتَّبِعِ الْهُدٰى مَعَكَ نُتَخَطَّفْ مِنْ اَرْضِنَاۗ اَوَلَمْ نُمَكِّنْ لَّهُمْ حَرَمًا اٰمِنًا يُّجْبٰٓى اِلَيْهِ ثَمَرٰتُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ رِّزْقًا مِّنْ لَّدُنَّا وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ

wa qālū in nattabi'il-hudā ma'aka nutakhaṭṭaf min arḍinā, a wa lam numakkil lahum ḥaraman āminay yujbā ilaihi ṡamarātu kulli syai`ir rizqam mil ladunnā wa lākinna akṡarahum lā ya'lamụn

They say: "If we followed your guidance we would be driven from the land by force." Have We not set up a sanctuary for them to which is brought a wealth of everything as provision from Us? But most of them do not understand.

وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ ۢ بَطِرَتْ مَعِيْشَتَهَا ۚفَتِلْكَ مَسٰكِنُهُمْ لَمْ تُسْكَنْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًاۗ وَكُنَّا نَحْنُ الْوَارِثِيْنَ

wa kam ahlaknā ming qaryatim baṭirat ma'īsyatahā, fa tilka masākinuhum lam tuskam mim ba'dihim illā qalīlā, wa kunnā naḥnul-wāriṡīn

How many habitations that had come to boast of their resources have We destroyed? These their dwellings were never inhabited except rarely after them; and they came back to Us.

وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ مُهْلِكَ الْقُرٰى حَتّٰى يَبْعَثَ فِيْٓ اُمِّهَا رَسُوْلًا يَّتْلُوْا عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتِنَاۚ وَمَا كُنَّا مُهْلِكِى الْقُرٰىٓ اِلَّا وَاَهْلُهَا ظٰلِمُوْنَ

wa mā kāna rabbuka muhlikal-qurā ḥattā yab'aṡa fī ummihā rasụlay yatlụ 'alaihim āyātinā, wa mā kunnā muhlikil-qurā illā wa ahluhā ẓālimụn

But your Lord does not destroy habitations without having sent an apostle to their metropolis to read out Our commandments to them. We would never have destroyed cities if their inhabitants were not given to wickedness.

وَمَآ اُوْتِيْتُمْ مِّنْ شَيْءٍ فَمَتَاعُ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا وَزِيْنَتُهَا ۚوَمَا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ خَيْرٌ وَّاَبْقٰىۗ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ

wa mā ụtītum min syai`in fa matā'ul-ḥayātid-dun-yā wa zīnatuhā, wa mā 'indallāhi khairuw wa abqā, a fa lā ta'qilụn

Whatsoever has been given you is the stuff this life is made of and only its embellishment. What is with your Lord is better and abiding. Will you not understand?

اَفَمَنْ وَّعَدْنٰهُ وَعْدًا حَسَنًا فَهُوَ لَاقِيْهِ كَمَنْ مَّتَّعْنٰهُ مَتَاعَ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ هُوَ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ مِنَ الْمُحْضَرِيْنَ

a fa maw wa'adnāhu wa'dan ḥasanan fa huwa lāqīhi kamam matta'nāhu matā'al-ḥayātid-dun-yā ṡumma huwa yaumal-qiyāmati minal-muḥḍarīn

Can one who was given a better promise which he will find come TRUE be like him who was given a little enjoyment of this life but who will afterwards be brought (to judgement) on the Day of Resurrection?

وَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيْهِمْ فَيَقُوْلُ اَيْنَ شُرَكَاۤءِيَ الَّذِيْنَ كُنْتُمْ تَزْعُمُوْنَ

wa yauma yunādīhim fa yaqụlu aina syurakā`iyallażīna kuntum taz'umụn

That day God will call them and ask: "Where are they you imagined were My compeers?"

قَالَ الَّذِيْنَ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقَوْلُ رَبَّنَا هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ الَّذِيْنَ اَغْوَيْنَاۚ اَغْوَيْنٰهُمْ كَمَا غَوَيْنَاۚ تَبَرَّأْنَآ اِلَيْكَ مَا كَانُوْٓا اِيَّانَا يَعْبُدُوْنَ

qālallażīna ḥaqqa 'alaihimul-qaulu rabbanā hā`ulā`illażīna agwainā, agwaināhum kamā gawainā, tabarra`nā ilaika mā kānū iyyānā ya'budụn

Those against whom the sentence is justified will say: "O Lord these are those we had led astray as we had ourselves gone astray. We clear ourselves before You: They never worshipped us."

وَقِيْلَ ادْعُوْا شُرَكَاۤءَكُمْ فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِيْبُوْا لَهُمْ ۗوَرَاَوُا الْعَذَابَۚ لَوْ اَنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا يَهْتَدُوْنَ

wa qīlad'ụ syurakā`akum fa da'auhum fa lam yastajībụ lahum, wa ra`awul-'ażāb, lau annahum kānụ yahtadụn

(The sinners) will be told: "Invoke your partners." They will call on them but they will not answer; and they will see the torment (and wish) if only they had come to guidance.

وَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيْهِمْ فَيَقُوْلُ مَاذَآ اَجَبْتُمُ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ

wa yauma yunādīhim fa yaqụlu māżā ajabtumul-mursalīn

(God) will ask them on that day: "What answer did you give the apostles?"

فَعَمِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الْاَنْۢبَاۤءُ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ فَهُمْ لَا يَتَسَاۤءَلُوْنَ

fa 'amiyat 'alaihimul-ambā`u yauma`iżin fa hum lā yatasā`alụn

Then all news will be blacked out for them and they will not even ask one another.

فَاَمَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَاٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَعَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُفْلِحِيْنَ

fa ammā man tāba wa āmana wa 'amila ṣāliḥan fa 'asā ay yakụna minal-mufliḥīn

But he who repents and believes and does good things may well be among the successful.

وَرَبُّكَ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاۤءُ وَيَخْتَارُ ۗمَا كَانَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ ۗسُبْحٰنَ اللّٰهِ وَتَعٰلٰى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُوْنَ

wa rabbuka yakhluqu mā yasyā`u wa yakhtār, mā kāna lahumul-khiyarah, sub-ḥānallāhi wa ta'ālā 'ammā yusyrikụn

Your Lord creates what He wills and chooses. The good is not for them to choose. Too holy and high is God for what they associate with Him.

وَرَبُّكَ يَعْلَمُ مَا تُكِنُّ صُدُوْرُهُمْ وَمَا يُعْلِنُوْنَ

wa rabbuka ya'lamu mā tukinnu ṣudụruhum wa mā yu'linụn

Your Lord well knows what they hide in their breasts and what they disclose.

وَهُوَ اللّٰهُ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ ۗ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِى الْاُوْلٰى وَالْاٰخِرَةِ ۖوَلَهُ الْحُكْمُ وَاِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ

wa huwallāhu lā ilāha illā huw, lahul-ḥamdu fil-ụlā wal-ākhirati wa lahul-ḥukmu wa ilaihi turja'ụn

He is God. There is no god but He. His alone is praise first and last and His the judgement and to Him will you be brought back in the end.

قُلْ اَرَءَيْتُمْ اِنْ جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكُمُ الَّيْلَ سَرْمَدًا اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ مَنْ اِلٰهٌ غَيْرُ اللّٰهِ يَأْتِيْكُمْ بِضِيَاۤءٍ ۗ اَفَلَا تَسْمَعُوْنَ

qul a ra`aitum in ja'alallāhu 'alaikumul-laila sarmadan ilā yaumil-qiyāmati man ilāhun gairullāhi ya`tīkum biḍiyā`, a fa lā tasma'ụn

Say: "Just think if God were to cover you up with night for ever until the Day of Doom what other god apart from God will give you light? Why do you not pay heed?"

قُلْ اَرَءَيْتُمْ اِنْ جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكُمُ النَّهَارَ سَرْمَدًا اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ مَنْ اِلٰهٌ غَيْرُ اللّٰهِ يَأْتِيْكُمْ بِلَيْلٍ تَسْكُنُوْنَ فِيْهِ ۗ اَفَلَا تُبْصِرُوْنَ

Say: "Just think. If God were to make the day perpetual till the Day of Resurrection what other god but God would bring you night for rest? Why do you not reflect?

وَمِنْ رَّحْمَتِهٖ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ لِتَسْكُنُوْا فِيْهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوْا مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَ

wa mir raḥmatihī ja'ala lakumul-laila wan-nahāra litaskunụ fīhi wa litabtagụ min faḍlihī wa la'allakum tasykurụn

Yet in His benevolence He made you night and day that you may rest and seek His bounty during them and haply maybe grateful."

وَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيْهِمْ فَيَقُوْلُ اَيْنَ شُرَكَاۤءِيَ الَّذِيْنَ كُنْتُمْ تَزْعُمُوْنَ

wa yauma yunādīhim fa yaqụlu aina syurakā`iyallażīna kuntum taz'umụn

Upon a day He will call them and ask: "Where are they you imagined were My compeers?"

وَنَزَعْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ اُمَّةٍ شَهِيْدًا فَقُلْنَا هَاتُوْا بُرْهَانَكُمْ فَعَلِمُوْٓا اَنَّ الْحَقَّ لِلّٰهِ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا يَفْتَرُوْنَ

wa naza'nā ming kulli ummatin syahīdan fa qulnā hātụ burhānakum fa 'alimū annal-ḥaqqa lillāhi wa ḍalla 'an-hum mā kānụ yaftarụn

And We shall single out one witness from each community and say: "Bring your proof." Then will they know that God´s is the judgement and what they contrived will avail them not in the least.

۞ اِنَّ قَارُوْنَ كَانَ مِنْ قَوْمِ مُوْسٰى فَبَغٰى عَلَيْهِمْ ۖوَاٰتَيْنٰهُ مِنَ الْكُنُوْزِ مَآ اِنَّ مَفَاتِحَهٗ لَتَنُوْۤاُ بِالْعُصْبَةِ اُولِى الْقُوَّةِ اِذْ قَالَ لَهٗ قَوْمُهٗ لَا تَفْرَحْ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْفَرِحِيْنَ

Verily Qarun was of Moses´ people but he began to oppress them. We had given him treasures so many that a team of wrestlers could hardly lift their keys. His people said to him: "Do not be exultant. God does not like those who exult.

وَابْتَغِ فِيْمَآ اٰتٰىكَ اللّٰهُ الدَّارَ الْاٰخِرَةَ وَلَا تَنْسَ نَصِيْبَكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَاَحْسِنْ كَمَآ اَحْسَنَ اللّٰهُ اِلَيْكَ وَلَا تَبْغِ الْفَسَادَ فِى الْاَرْضِ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُفْسِدِيْنَ

So seek the abode of the Hereafter through what God has given you and do not forget your part in this world. Do good to others as God has done good to you and do not try to spread corruption in the land. Surely God does not like corrupters."

قَالَ اِنَّمَآ اُوْتِيْتُهٗ عَلٰى عِلْمٍ عِنْدِيْۗ اَوَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ قَدْ اَهْلَكَ مِنْ قَبْلِهٖ مِنَ الْقُرُوْنِ مَنْ هُوَ اَشَدُّ مِنْهُ قُوَّةً وَّاَكْثَرُ جَمْعًا ۗوَلَا يُسْـَٔلُ عَنْ ذُنُوْبِهِمُ الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ

He said: "This has come to me through my own acumen." Did he not know that God had destroyed many generations before him who possessed far more acumen than he and more wealth? The sinners will not be asked about their sins.

فَخَرَجَ عَلٰى قَوْمِهٖ فِيْ زِيْنَتِهٖ ۗقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ يُرِيْدُوْنَ الْحَيٰوةَ الدُّنْيَا يٰلَيْتَ لَنَا مِثْلَ مَآ اُوْتِيَ قَارُوْنُۙ اِنَّهٗ لَذُوْ حَظٍّ عَظِيْمٍ

Then he came before his people in all pomp; and those enamoured of this world said: "Ah would that we had what Qarun has been given! He indeed possesses great good fortune."

وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوا الْعِلْمَ وَيْلَكُمْ ثَوَابُ اللّٰهِ خَيْرٌ لِّمَنْ اٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا ۚوَلَا يُلَقّٰىهَآ اِلَّا الصّٰبِرُوْنَ

wa qālallażīna ụtul-'ilma wailakum ṡawābullāhi khairul liman āmana wa 'amila ṣāliḥā, wa lā yulaqqāhā illaṣ-ṣābirụn

But those who knew better said: "Alack-a-day! God´s guerdon is better for those who believe and do the right. Only those who persevere will receive it."

فَخَسَفْنَا بِهٖ وَبِدَارِهِ الْاَرْضَ ۗفَمَا كَانَ لَهٗ مِنْ فِئَةٍ يَّنْصُرُوْنَهٗ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ ۖوَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُنْتَصِرِيْنَ

So We opened up the earth and sunk him and his mansion. There was not a body that could help him against (the will) of God nor was he able to save himself.

وَاَصْبَحَ الَّذِيْنَ تَمَنَّوْا مَكَانَهٗ بِالْاَمْسِ يَقُوْلُوْنَ وَيْكَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهٖ وَيَقْدِرُۚ لَوْلَآ اَنْ مَّنَّ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْنَا لَخَسَفَ بِنَا ۗوَيْكَاَنَّهٗ لَا يُفْلِحُ الْكٰفِرُوْنَ

wa aṣbaḥallażīna tamannau makānahụ bil-amsi yaqụlụna waika`annallāha yabsuṭur-rizqa limay yasyā`u min 'ibādihī wa yaqdir, lau lā am mannallāhu 'alainā lakhasafa binā, waika`annahụ lā yufliḥul-kāfirụn

Those who were envious of his position only yesterday said on the morrow: "Indeed God increases the fortunes of those of His creatures as He will and decreases. Had God not been gracious to us He could have (opened up) the earth and made it swallow us. Surely the infidels will not succeed."

تِلْكَ الدَّارُ الْاٰخِرَةُ نَجْعَلُهَا لِلَّذِيْنَ لَا يُرِيْدُوْنَ عُلُوًّا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَلَا فَسَادًا ۗوَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِيْنَ

tilkad-dārul-ākhiratu naj'aluhā lillażīna lā yurīdụna 'uluwwan fil-arḍi wa lā fasādā, wal-'āqibatu lil-muttaqīn

We shall give the mansion of the Hereafter to those who do not want to be haughty in the land and spread corruption. The future belongs to those who take heed for themselves and follow the straight path.

مَنْ جَاۤءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهٗ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهَاۚ وَمَنْ جَاۤءَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَلَا يُجْزَى الَّذِيْنَ عَمِلُوا السَّيِّاٰتِ اِلَّا مَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ

man jā`a bil-ḥasanati fa lahụ khairum min-hā, wa man jā`a bis-sayyi`ati fa lā yujzallażīna 'amilus-sayyi`āti illā mā kānụ ya'malụn

Whoever does good will receive better than what he has done; and whoever does ill shall be requited but to the extent of what he does.

اِنَّ الَّذِيْ فَرَضَ عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْاٰنَ لَرَاۤدُّكَ اِلٰى مَعَادٍ ۗقُلْ رَّبِّيْٓ اَعْلَمُ مَنْ جَاۤءَ بِالْهُدٰى وَمَنْ هُوَ فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيْنٍ

innallażī faraḍa 'alaikal-qur`āna larādduka ilā ma'ād, qul rabbī a'lamu man jā`a bil-hudā wa man huwa fī ḍalālim mubīn

He who has assigned (the propagation) of the Qur´an to you will bring you back to the destination. Say: "My Lord knows who has come to guidance and who is clearly in error."

وَمَا كُنْتَ تَرْجُوْٓا اَنْ يُّلْقٰٓى اِلَيْكَ الْكِتٰبُ اِلَّا رَحْمَةً مِّنْ رَّبِّكَ فَلَا تَكُوْنَنَّ ظَهِيْرًا لِّلْكٰفِرِيْنَ ۖ

wa mā kunta tarjū ay yulqā ilaikal-kitābu illā raḥmatam mir rabbika fa lā takụnanna ẓahīral lil-kāfirīn

You did not expect that the Book would be given to you except by the favour of your Lord. So do not be the helper of unbelievers

وَلَا يَصُدُّنَّكَ عَنْ اٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ بَعْدَ اِذْ اُنْزِلَتْ اِلَيْكَ وَادْعُ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِيْنَ ۚ

wa lā yaṣuddunnaka 'an āyātillāhi ba'da iż unzilat ilaika wad'u ilā rabbika wa lā takụnanna minal-musyrikīn

Nor should you let them turn you away from the commandments of God once they have been delivered to you; and call them to your Lord and do not be an idolater

وَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهًا اٰخَرَۘ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۗ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ هَالِكٌ اِلَّا وَجْهَهٗ ۗ لَهُ الْحُكْمُ وَاِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ

wa lā tad'u ma'allāhi ilāhan ākhar, lā ilāha illā huw, kullu syai`in hālikun illā waj-hah, lahul-ḥukmu wa ilaihi turja'ụn

And do not call on any other god apart from God. There is no god but He. All things will perish save His magnificence. His is the judgement and to Him will you be brought back in the end.
