TA SIN MIM.

تِلْكَ اٰيٰتُ الْكِتٰبِ الْمُبِيْنِ

tilka āyātul-kitābil-mubīn

These are the verses of the perspicuous Book.

لَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ اَلَّا يَكُوْنُوْا مُؤْمِنِيْنَ

la'allaka bākhi'un nafsaka allā yakụnụ mu`minīn

You may perhaps wear out your heart because they do not come to belief.

اِنْ نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِمْ مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ اٰيَةً فَظَلَّتْ اَعْنَاقُهُمْ لَهَا خَاضِعِيْنَ

in nasya` nunazzil 'alaihim minas-samā`i āyatan fa ẓallat a'nāquhum lahā khāḍi'īn

We could send down from the heavens a sign to them if We pleased before which their heads would remain bowed.

وَمَا يَأْتِيْهِمْ مِّنْ ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ الرَّحْمٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ اِلَّا كَانُوْا عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِيْنَ

wa mā ya`tīhim min żikrim minar-raḥmāni muḥdaṡin illā kānụ 'an-hu mu'riḍīn

Never does a new reminder come to them from Ar-Rahman but they turn away from it.

فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوْا فَسَيَأْتِيْهِمْ اَنْۢبـٰۤؤُا مَا كَانُوْا بِهٖ يَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ

fa qad każżabụ fa saya`tīhim ambā`u mā kānụ bihī yastahzi`ụn

Surely they have done with denying; soon will come to them the news of what they were laughing at.

اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اِلَى الْاَرْضِ كَمْ اَنْۢبَتْنَا فِيْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيْمٍ

a wa lam yarau ilal-arḍi kam ambatnā fīhā ming kulli zaujing karīm

Do they not see the earth how We grow all kinds of noble things upon it?

اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةًۗ وَمَا كَانَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ مُّؤْمِنِيْنَ

inna fī żālika la`āyah, wa mā kāna akṡaruhum mu`minīn

Verily there are signs in this; yet many of them do not believe.

وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الرَّحِيْمُ

wa inna rabbaka lahuwal-'azīzur-raḥīm

Your Lord is surely mighty and merciful.

وَاِذْ نَادٰى رَبُّكَ مُوْسٰٓى اَنِ ائْتِ الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ۙ

wa iż nādā rabbuka mụsā ani`til-qaumaẓ-ẓālimīn

When your Lord called upon Moses: "Go to the wicked people

قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۗ اَلَا يَتَّقُوْنَ

qauma fir'aụn, alā yattaqụn

The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear and take heed?"

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّيْٓ اَخَافُ اَنْ يُّكَذِّبُوْنِ ۗ

qāla rabbi innī akhāfu ay yukażżibụn

: He said: "O Lord I fear that they will deny me.

وَيَضِيْقُ صَدْرِيْ وَلَا يَنْطَلِقُ لِسَانِيْ فَاَرْسِلْ اِلٰى هٰرُوْنَ

wa yaḍīqu ṣadrī wa lā yanṭaliqu lisānī fa arsil ilā hārụn

My heart is constrained my tongue falters so delegate Aaron;

وَلَهُمْ عَلَيَّ ذَنْۢبٌ فَاَخَافُ اَنْ يَّقْتُلُوْنِ ۚ

wa lahum 'alayya żambun fa akhāfu ay yaqtulụn

And they have a charge (of murder) against me. So I fear that they will kill me."

قَالَ كَلَّاۚ فَاذْهَبَا بِاٰيٰتِنَآ اِنَّا مَعَكُمْ مُّسْتَمِعُوْنَ ۙ

qāla kallā, faż-habā bi`āyātinā innā ma'akum mustami'ụn

(It was) said: "By no means. Go with My signs both of you. I am verily with you and I hear.

فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُوْلَآ اِنَّا رَسُوْلُ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۙ

fa`tiyā fir'auna fa qụlā innā rasụlu rabbil-'ālamīn

Go to the Pharaoh and tell him: ´We bring a message from the Lord of all the worlds

اَنْ اَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَ ۗ

an arsil ma'anā banī isrā`īl

That you should send the children of Israel with us.´

قَالَ اَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِيْنَا وَلِيْدًا وَّلَبِثْتَ فِيْنَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِيْنَ ۗ

qāla a lam nurabbika fīnā walīdaw wa labiṡta fīnā min 'umurika sinīn

(The Pharaoh) said: "Did we not bring you up as a child? And you lived a number of years of your life with us.

وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ الَّتِيْ فَعَلْتَ وَاَنْتَ مِنَ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ

wa fa'alta fa'latakallatī fa'alta wa anta minal-kāfirīn

And you commited what you did and you are ungrateful!"

قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَآ اِذًا وَّاَنَا۠ مِنَ الضَّاۤلِّيْنَ

qāla fa'altuhā iżaw wa ana minaḍ-ḍāllīn

(Moses) replied: "I did do that and I was in the wrong

فَفَرَرْتُ مِنْكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِيْ رَبِّيْ حُكْمًا وَّجَعَلَنِيْ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ

fa farartu mingkum lammā khiftukum fa wahaba lī rabbī ḥukmaw wa ja'alanī minal-mursalīn

So I ran away from you out of fear. But my Lord has given me wisdom and made me an apostle.

وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَيَّ اَنْ عَبَّدْتَّ بَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَ ۗ

wa tilka ni'matun tamunnuhā 'alayya an 'abbatta banī isrā`īl

But the favour you oblige me with is that you have enslaved the children of Israel."

قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۗ

qāla fir'aunu wa mā rabbul-'ālamīn

The Pharaoh asked: "And what is the Lord of all the worlds?"

قَالَ رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَاۗ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّوْقِنِيْنَ

qāla rabbus-samāwāti wal-arḍi wa mā bainahumā, ing kuntum mụqinīn

(Moses) said: "The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them if you can believe."

قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهٗٓ اَلَا تَسْتَمِعُوْنَ

qāla liman ḥaulahū alā tastami'ụn

(The Pharaoh) said to those around him: "Do you hear?"

قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ اٰبَاۤىِٕكُمُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ

qāla rabbukum wa rabbu ābā`ikumul-awwalīn

(Moses continued): "Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers before you."

قَالَ اِنَّ رَسُوْلَكُمُ الَّذِيْٓ اُرْسِلَ اِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُوْنٌ

qāla inna rasụlakumullażī ursila ilaikum lamajnụn

(The Pharaoh) said (to his nobles): "Your apostle who has been sent to you is certainly mad."

قَالَ رَبُّ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَاۗ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْقِلُوْنَ

qāla rabbul-masyriqi wal-magribi wa mā bainahumā, ing kuntum ta'qilụn

(Moses) said: "The Lord of the East and the Lord of the West and all that lies between them if you have sense."

قَالَ لَىِٕنِ اتَّخَذْتَ اِلٰهًا غَيْرِيْ لَاَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ الْمَسْجُوْنِيْنَ

qāla la`inittakhażta ilāhan gairī la`aj'alannaka minal-masjụnīn

(The Pharaoh) said: "If you took another god apart from me I will have you incarcerated."

قَالَ اَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَيْءٍ مُّبِيْنٍ

qāla a walau ji`tuka bisyai`im mubīn

(Moses) said: "Even though I have brought to you something convincing?"

قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهٖٓ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيْنَ

qāla fa`ti bihī ing kunta minaṣ-ṣādiqīn

(The Pharaoh) said: "Then bring it if you speak the truth."

فَاَلْقٰى عَصَاهُ فَاِذَا هِيَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِيْنٌ ۚ

fa alqā 'aṣāhu fa iżā hiya ṡu'bānum mubīn

So (Moses) cast his staff and lo it turned into a living serpent.

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهٗ فَاِذَا هِيَ بَيْضَاۤءُ لِلنّٰظِرِيْنَ

wa naza'a yadahụ fa iżā hiya baiḍā`u lin-nāẓirīn

And he drew forth his hand and lo it looked white to the beholders.

قَالَ لِلْمَلَاِ حَوْلَهٗٓ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَسٰحِرٌ عَلِيْمٌ ۙ

qāla lil-mala`i ḥaulahū inna hāżā lasāḥirun 'alīm

The Pharaoh said to the chiefs around him: "He is certainly a clever magician.

يُّرِيْدُ اَنْ يُّخْرِجَكُمْ مِّنْ اَرْضِكُمْ بِسِحْرِهٖۖ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُوْنَ

yurīdu ay yukhrijakum min arḍikum bisiḥrihī fa māżā ta`murụn

He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic. So what do you bid?"

قَالُوْٓا اَرْجِهْ وَاَخَاهُ وَابْعَثْ فِى الْمَدَاۤىِٕنِ حٰشِرِيْنَ ۙ

qālū arjih wa akhāhu wab'aṡ fil-madā`ini ḥāsyirīn

They said: "Put him and his brother off awhile and send summoners to the cities to gather

يَأْتُوْكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيْمٍ

ya`tụka bikulli saḥḥārin 'alīm

And bring the ablest magicians to you."

فَجُمِعَ السَّحَرَةُ لِمِيْقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُوْمٍ ۙ

fa jumi'as-saḥaratu limīqāti yaumim ma'lụm

So the magicians were assembled at a stated time and place on an appointed day.

وَّقِيْلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّجْتَمِعُوْنَ ۙ

wa qīla lin-nāsi hal antum mujtami'ụn

And the people were also asked to assemble.

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ السَّحَرَةَ اِنْ كَانُوْا هُمُ الْغٰلِبِيْنَ

la'allanā nattabi'us-saḥarata ing kānụ humul-gālibīn

(They said): "We may haply follow the magicians if they are victorious."

فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَ السَّحَرَةُ قَالُوْا لِفِرْعَوْنَ اَىِٕنَّ لَنَا لَاَجْرًا اِنْ كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغٰلِبِيْنَ

fa lammā jā`as-saḥaratu qālụ lifir'auna a inna lanā la`ajran ing kunnā naḥnul-gālibīn

When the magicians arrived they said to the Pharaoh: "Is there a reward for us if we are victorious?" --

قَالَ نَعَمْ وَاِنَّكُمْ اِذًا لَّمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِيْنَ

qāla na'am wa innakum iżal laminal-muqarrabīn

"Yes " he replied. "You ´will be among the honoured."

قَالَ لَهُمْ مُّوْسٰٓى اَلْقُوْا مَآ اَنْتُمْ مُّلْقُوْنَ

qāla lahum mụsā alqụ mā antum mulqụn

Moses said to them: "Cast what you have to cast."

فَاَلْقَوْا حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوْا بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ اِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْغٰلِبُوْنَ

fa alqau ḥibālahum wa 'iṣiyyahum wa qālụ bi'izzati fir'auna innā lanaḥnul-gālibụn

So they cast their ropes and rods and said: "By the glory of Pharaoh we shall be victorious."

فَاَلْقٰى مُوْسٰى عَصَاهُ فَاِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُوْنَ ۚ

fa alqā mụsā 'aṣāhu fa iżā hiya talqafu mā ya`fikụn

Then Moses threw down his staff and lo it swallowed up their conjurations.

فَاُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سٰجِدِيْنَ ۙ

fa ulqiyas-saḥaratu sājidīn

Then the magicians fell prostrating in adoration

قَالُوْٓا اٰمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۙ

qālū āmannā birabbil-'ālamīn

And said: "We (affirm and) believe in the Lord of all the worlds

رَبِّ مُوْسٰى وَهٰرُوْنَ

rabbi mụsā wa hārụn

The Lord of Moses and Aaron."

قَالَ اٰمَنْتُمْ لَهٗ قَبْلَ اَنْ اٰذَنَ لَكُمْۚ اِنَّهٗ لَكَبِيْرُكُمُ الَّذِيْ عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَۚ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَ ەۗ لَاُقَطِّعَنَّ اَيْدِيَكُمْ وَاَرْجُلَكُمْ مِّنْ خِلَافٍ وَّلَاُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ اَجْمَعِيْنَۚ

qāla āmantum lahụ qabla an āżana lakum, innahụ lakabīrukumullażī 'allamakumus-siḥr, fa lasaufa ta'lamụn, la`uqaṭṭi'anna aidiyakum wa arjulakum min khilāfiw wa la`uṣallibannakum ajma'īn

Said (the Pharaoh): "You have come to believe in him before I gave you leave. He is surely your chief who taught you magic. You will soon come to know: I will have your hands and feet cut off on alternate sides and have every one of you crucified."

قَالُوْا لَا ضَيْرَ ۖاِنَّآ اِلٰى رَبِّنَا مُنْقَلِبُوْنَ ۚ

qālụ lā ḍaira innā ilā rabbinā mungqalibụn

They said: "There will be no harm. We shall return to our Lord.

اِنَّا نَطْمَعُ اَنْ يَّغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطٰيٰنَآ اَنْ كُنَّآ اَوَّلَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ ۗ

innā naṭma'u ay yagfira lanā rabbunā khaṭāyānā ang kunnā awwalal-mu`minīn

We certainly hope our Lord will forgive our sins as we are the first to believe."

۞ وَاَوْحَيْنَآ اِلٰى مُوْسٰٓى اَنْ اَسْرِ بِعِبَادِيْٓ اِنَّكُمْ مُّتَّبَعُوْنَ

wa auḥainā ilā mụsā an asri bi'ibādī innakum muttaba'ụn

We said to Moses: "Travel by night with My creatures. You will surely be pursued."

فَاَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى الْمَدَاۤىِٕنِ حٰشِرِيْنَ ۚ

fa arsala fir'aunu fil-madā`ini ḥāsyirīn

Then the Pharaoh sent announcers to the cities

اِنَّ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيْلُوْنَۙ

inna hā`ulā`i lasyirżimatung qalīlụn

(Proclaiming): "Surely they are a small band (of fugitives).

وَاِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَاۤىِٕظُوْنَ ۙ

wa innahum lanā lagā`iẓụn

They are always harassing us.

وَاِنَّا لَجَمِيْعٌ حٰذِرُوْنَ ۗ

wa innā lajamī'un ḥāżirụn

But we are a fully accounted army."

فَاَخْرَجْنٰهُمْ مِّنْ جَنّٰتٍ وَّعُيُوْنٍ ۙ

fa akhrajnāhum min jannātiw wa 'uyụn

So We made them leave the gardens and springs of water

وَّكُنُوْزٍ وَّمَقَامٍ كَرِيْمٍ ۙ

wa kunụziw wa maqāming karīm

And treasures and agreeable mansions.

كَذٰلِكَۚ وَاَوْرَثْنٰهَا بَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَ ۗ

każālik, wa auraṡnāhā banī isrā`īl

Thus it was; and We made the children of Israel possess them.

فَاَتْبَعُوْهُمْ مُّشْرِقِيْنَ

fa atba'ụhum musyriqīn

But they pursued them at sunrise.

فَلَمَّا تَرَاۤءَ الْجَمْعٰنِ قَالَ اَصْحٰبُ مُوْسٰٓى اِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُوْنَ ۚ

fa lammā tarā`al-jam'āni qāla aṣ-ḥābu mụsā innā lamudrakụn

When the two forces drew within seeing distance of each other the people of Moses said: "We shall certainly be overtaken."

قَالَ كَلَّاۗ اِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّيْ سَيَهْدِيْنِ

qāla kallā, inna ma'iya rabbī sayahdīn

Moses replied: "By no means. My Lord is with me. He will show me the way."

فَاَوْحَيْنَآ اِلٰى مُوْسٰٓى اَنِ اضْرِبْ بِّعَصَاكَ الْبَحْرَۗ فَانْفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍ كَالطَّوْدِ الْعَظِيْمِ ۚ

fa auḥainā ilā mụsā aniḍrib bi'aṣākal-baḥr, fanfalaqa fa kāna kullu firqing kaṭ-ṭaudil-'aẓīm

We commanded Moses: "Smite the sea with your staff." And it parted and every parting was like a lofty mountain.

وَاَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ الْاٰخَرِيْنَ ۚ

wa azlafnā ṡammal-ākharīn

Then We brought the others to that place.

وَاَنْجَيْنَا مُوْسٰى وَمَنْ مَّعَهٗٓ اَجْمَعِيْنَ ۚ

wa anjainā mụsā wa mam ma'ahū ajma'īn

We delivered Moses and every one with him

ثُمَّ اَغْرَقْنَا الْاٰخَرِيْنَ ۗ

ṡumma agraqnal-ākharīn

And We drowned the others.

اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةً ۗوَمَا كَانَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ مُّؤْمِنِيْنَ

inna fī żālika la`āyah, wa mā kāna akṡaruhum mu`minīn

Verily there is a sign in this but most of them do not believe.

وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الرَّحِيْمُ

wa inna rabbaka lahuwal-'azīzur-raḥīm

Indeed your Lord is mighty and merciful.

wa mā ahlaknā ming qaryatin illā lahā munżirụn

Never have We destroyed a habitation till We had sent admonishers to them

ذِكْرٰىۚ وَمَا كُنَّا ظٰلِمِيْنَ

żikrā, wa mā kunnā ẓālimīn

To warn. For We are never unjust.

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ الشَّيٰطِيْنُ

wa mā tanazzalat bihisy-syayāṭīn

The devils did not bring it down:

وَمَا يَنْۢبَغِيْ لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ ۗ

wa mā yambagī lahum wa mā yastaṭī'ụn

They are not worthy of it nor have they power.

اِنَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُوْلُوْنَ ۗ

innahum 'anis-sam'i lama'zụlụn

They have been precluded from hearing it.

فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهًا اٰخَرَ فَتَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُعَذَّبِيْنَ

fa lā tad'u ma'allāhi ilāhan ākhara fa takụna minal-mu'ażżabīn

So call on no other god but God lest you are condemned to torment;

وَاَنْذِرْ عَشِيْرَتَكَ الْاَقْرَبِيْنَ ۙ

wa anżir 'asyīratakal-aqrabīn

And warn your near relations

وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ ۚ

wakhfiḍ janāḥaka limanittaba'aka minal-mu`minīn

And take those believers under your wing who follow you.

فَاِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ اِنِّيْ بَرِيْۤءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۚ

fa in 'aṣauka fa qul innī barī`um mimmā ta'malụn

If they do not obey you tell them: "I am not responsible for what you do."

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى الْعَزِيْزِ الرَّحِيْمِ ۙ

wa tawakkal 'alal-'azīzir-raḥīm

Have trust in the Mighty the Merciful

الَّذِيْ يَرٰىكَ حِيْنَ تَقُوْمُ

allażī yarāka ḥīna taqụm

Who watches you when you get up

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى السّٰجِدِيْنَ

wa taqallubaka fis-sājidīn

And your movements among those who bow in homage to God.

اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْعَلِيْمُ

innahụ huwas-samī'ul-'alīm

He is all-hearing and all-knowing.

هَلْ اُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلٰى مَنْ تَنَزَّلُ الشَّيٰطِيْنُ ۗ

hal unabbi`ukum 'alā man tanazzalusy-syayāṭīn

Should I tell you on whom the devils descend?

تَنَزَّلُ عَلٰى كُلِّ اَفَّاكٍ اَثِيْمٍ ۙ

tanazzalu 'alā kulli affākin aṡīm

They come down to every mendacious sinner

يُّلْقُوْنَ السَّمْعَ وَاَكْثَرُهُمْ كٰذِبُوْنَ ۗ

yulqụnas-sam'a wa akṡaruhum kāżibụn

Who listens to you (for spreading rumours); but most of them are liars.

وَالشُّعَرَاۤءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الْغَاوٗنَ ۗ

wasy-syu'arā`u yattabi'uhumul-gāwụn

As for the poets only those who go astray follow them.

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّهُمْ فِيْ كُلِّ وَادٍ يَّهِيْمُوْنَ ۙ

a lam tara annahum fī kulli wādiy yahīmụn

Have you not seen that they wander distract in every valley

وَاَنَّهُمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُوْنَ ۙ

wa annahum yaqụlụna mā lā yaf'alụn

And they say what they do not do

اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا اللّٰهَ كَثِيْرًا وَّانْتَصَرُوْا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوْا ۗوَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْٓا اَيَّ مُنْقَلَبٍ يَّنْقَلِبُوْنَ

illallażīna āmanụ wa 'amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti wa żakarullāha kaṡīraw wantaṣarụ mim ba'di mā ẓulimụ, wa saya'lamullażīna ẓalamū ayya mungqalabiy yangqalibụn

Except those who believe and do the right and remember God a great deal who retaliate only when they have been wronged. Yet the oppressors will now come to know through what reversals they will be overthrown!
