فَلَمَّٓا اَتٰيهَا نُودِيَ يَا مُوسٰى

Falamma ataha noodiya yamoosa

Then when he reached it, a voice called out, ‘Musa!

"Place him into the box and throw it into the sea and the sea will wash it up on the shore, where an enemy of Mine and his will pick it up. " I showered you with love from Me so that you would be brought up under My supervision.

When your sister went and said, "Shall I direct you to someone who will take care of him?" that was how We returned you to your mother so that she might delight her eyes and not be grieved. You killed a man and We rescued you from trouble and tested you with many trials. You stayed some years among the people of Madyan. Then you arrived at the pre-ordained time, Musa!

وَاصْطَنَعْتُكَ لِنَفْس۪يۚ

WastanaAAtuka linafsee

Waalqi ma fee yameenika talqaf masanaAAoo innama sanaAAoo kaydu sahirinwala yuflihu assahiru haythuata

Throw down what is in your right hand. It will swallow up their handiwork. Their handiwork is just a magician’s trick. Magicians do not prosper wherever they go.’

Pharaoh said, ‘Do you have iman in him before I have authorised you? He is your chief, the one who taught you magic. I will cut off your hands and feet alternately and have you crucified on palm trunks. Then you will know for certain which of us has the harsher and longer lasting punishment.’

قَالُوا لَنْ نُؤْثِرَكَ عَلٰى مَا جَٓاءَنَا مِنَ الْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالَّذ۪ي فَطَرَنَا فَاقْضِ مَٓا اَنْتَ قَاضٍۜ اِنَّمَا تَقْض۪ي هٰذِهِ الْحَيٰوةَ الدُّنْيَاۜ

They said, ‘We will never prefer you to the Clear Signs which have come to us nor to Him who brought us into being. Decide on any judgment you like. Your jurisdiction only covers the life of the dunya.

اِنَّٓا اٰمَنَّا بِرَبِّنَا لِيَغْفِرَ لَنَا خَطَايَانَا وَمَٓا اَكْرَهْتَنَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ السِّحْرِۜ وَاللّٰهُ خَيْرٌ وَاَبْقٰى

As for those who come to their Lord as evildoers, they will have Hell where they will neither die nor stay alive.

وَمَنْ يَأْتِه۪ مُؤْمِناً قَدْ عَمِلَ الصَّالِحَاتِ فَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ الدَّرَجَاتُ الْعُلٰىۙ

Walaqad awhayna ilamoosa an asri biAAibadee fadriblahum tareeqan fee albahri yabasan la takhafudarakan wala takhsha

We revealed to Musa, ‘Travel with My slaves by night. Strike a dry path for them through the sea. Have no fear of being overtaken and do not be afraid.’

Pharaoh pursued them with his troops and the sea overwhelmed them utterly.

وَاَضَلَّ فِرْعَوْنُ قَوْمَهُ وَمَا هَدٰى

Waadalla firAAawnu qawmahu wamahada

Pharoah misguided his people. He was no guide.

يَا بَن۪ٓي اِسْرَٓائ۪لَ قَدْ اَنْجَيْنَاكُمْ مِنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ وَوٰعَدْنَاكُمْ جَانِبَ الطُّورِ الْاَيْمَنَ وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَنَّ وَالسَّلْوٰى

Tribe of Israel! We rescued you from your enemy and made an appointment with you on the right hand side of the Mount and sent down manna and quails for you.

كُلُوا مِنْ طَيِّبَاتِ مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْ وَلَا تَطْغَوْا ف۪يهِ فَيَحِلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ غَضَب۪يۚ وَمَنْ يَحْلِلْ عَلَيْهِ غَضَب۪ي فَقَدْ هَوٰى

Kuloo min tayyibati marazaqnakum wala tatghaw feehi fayahillaAAalaykum ghadabee waman yahlil AAalayhi ghadabeefaqad hawa

Eat of the good things We have provided for you but do not go to excess in it or My anger will be unleashed on you. Anyone who has My anger unleashed on him has plunged to his ruin.

وَاِنّ۪ي لَغَفَّارٌ لِمَنْ تَابَ وَاٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحاً ثُمَّ اهْتَدٰى

Wa-innee laghaffarun liman tabawaamana waAAamila salihan thumma ihtada

But I am Ever-Forgiving to anyone who makes tawba and has iman and acts rightly and then is guided.

وَمَٓا اَعْجَلَكَ عَنْ قَوْمِكَ يَا مُوسٰى

Wama aAAjalaka AAan qawmika yamoosa

‘Why have you hurried on ahead of your people, Musa?’

قَالَ هُمْ اُو۬لَٓاءِ عَلٰٓى اَثَر۪ي وَعَجِلْتُ اِلَيْكَ رَبِّ لِتَرْضٰى

Qala hum ola-i AAalaatharee waAAajiltu ilayka rabbi litarda

He said, ‘They are following in my tracks. I have hurried on ahead to you, My Lord, to gain Your good pleasure.’

قَالَ فَاِنَّا قَدْ فَتَنَّا قَوْمَكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ وَاَضَلَّهُمُ السَّامِرِيُّ

Qala fa-inna qad fatannaqawmaka min baAAdika waadallahumu assamiriy

He said, ‘We tried your people after you left and the Samiri has misguided them. ’

فَرَجَعَ مُوسٰٓى اِلٰى قَوْمِه۪ غَضْبَانَ اَسِفاًۚ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اَلَمْ يَعِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ وَعْداً حَسَناًۜ اَفَطَالَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْعَهْدُ اَمْ اَرَدْتُمْ اَنْ يَحِلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ غَضَبٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ فَاَخْلَفْتُمْ مَوْعِد۪ي

Musa returned to his people in anger and great sorrow. He said, ‘My people, did not your Lord make you a handsome promise? Did the fulfilment of the contract seem too long to you or did you want to unleash your Lord’s anger upon yourselves, so you broke your promise to me?’

قَالُوا مَٓا اَخْلَفْنَا مَوْعِدَكَ بِمَلْكِنَا وَلٰكِنَّا حُمِّلْـنَٓا اَوْزَاراً مِنْ ز۪ينَةِ الْقَوْمِ فَقَذَفْنَاهَا فَكَذٰلِكَ اَلْقَى السَّامِرِيُّۙ

Qaloo ma akhlafnamawAAidaka bimalkina walakinna hummilnaawzaran min zeenati alqawmi faqathafnahafakathalika alqa assamiriy

They said, ‘We did not break our promise to you of our own volition. But we were weighed down with the heavy loads of the people’s jewelry and we threw them in, for that is what the Samari did.’

فَاَخْرَجَ لَهُمْ عِجْلاً جَسَداً لَهُ خُوَارٌ فَقَالُوا هٰذَٓا اِلٰهُكُمْ وَاِلٰهُ مُوسٰى فَنَسِيَۜ

Faakhraja lahum AAijlan jasadan lahu khuwarunfaqaloo hatha ilahukum wa-ilahu moosafanasiy

Then he produced a calf for them, a physical form which made a lowing sound. So they said, ‘This is your god – and Musa’s god as well, but he forgot.’

اَفَلَا يَرَوْنَ اَلَّا يَرْجِعُ اِلَيْهِمْ قَوْلاًۙ وَلَا يَمْلِكُ لَهُمْ ضَراًّ وَلَا نَفْعاً۟

Afala yarawna alla yarjiAAuilayhim qawlan wala yamliku lahum darran walanafAAa

Could they not see that it did not reply to them and that it possessed no power to either harm or benefit them?

وَلَقَدْ قَالَ لَهُمْ هٰرُونُ مِنْ قَبْلُ يَا قَوْمِ اِنَّمَا فُتِنْتُمْ بِه۪ۚ وَاِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ الرَّحْمٰنُ فَاتَّبِعُون۪ي وَاَط۪يعُٓوا اَمْر۪ي

Walaqad qala lahum haroonu minqablu ya qawmi innama futintum bihi wa-innarabbakumu arrahmanu fattabiAAooneewaateeAAoo amree

Harun had earlier said to them, ‘My people! It is just a trial for you. Your Lord is the All-Merciful, so follow me and obey my command!’

قَالُوا لَنْ نَبْرَحَ عَلَيْهِ عَاكِف۪ينَ حَتّٰى يَرْجِعَ اِلَيْنَا مُوسٰى

Qaloo lan nabraha AAalayhi AAakifeenahatta yarjiAAa ilayna moosa

They said, ‘We will not stop devoting ourselves to it until Musa returns to us. ’

قَالَ يَا هٰرُونُ مَا مَنَعَكَ اِذْ رَاَيْتَهُمْ ضَلُّواۙ

Qala ya haroonu mamanaAAaka ith raaytahum dalloo

He said, ‘What prevented you following me, Harun, when you saw that they had gone astray?

اَلَّا تَتَّبِعَنِۜ اَفَعَصَيْتَ اَمْر۪ي

Alla tattabiAAani afaAAasaytaamree

Did you too, then, disobey my command?’

قَالَ يَبْنَؤُ۬مَّ لَا تَأْخُذْ بِلِحْيَت۪ي وَلَا بِرَأْس۪يۚ اِنّ۪ي خَش۪يتُ اَنْ تَقُولَ فَرَّقْتَ بَيْنَ بَن۪ٓي اِسْرَٓائ۪لَ وَلَمْ تَرْقُبْ قَوْل۪ي

Qala yabnaomma la ta/khuthbilihyatee wala bira/see innee khasheetu an taqoolafarraqta bayna banee isra-eela walam tarqub qawlee

He said, ‘Son of my mother! Do not seize me by the beard or by the hair. I was afraid that you would say, "You have caused division in the tribe of Israel and taken no notice to anything I said."’

قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكَ يَا سَامِرِيُّ

Qala fama khatbuka yasamiriy

He said, ‘What do you think you were doing, Samiri?’

قَالَ بَصُرْتُ بِمَا لَمْ يَبْصُرُوا بِه۪ فَقَبَضْتُ قَبْضَةً مِنْ اَثَرِ الرَّسُولِ فَنَبَذْتُهَا وَكَذٰلِكَ سَوَّلَتْ ل۪ي نَفْس۪ي

Qala basurtu bima lamyabsuroo bihi faqabadtu qabdatan min athariarrasooli fanabathtuha wakathalikasawwalat lee nafsee

He said, ‘I saw what they did not see. So I gathered up a handful from the Messenger’s footprints and threw it in. That is what my inner self urged me to do.’

قَالَ فَاذْهَبْ فَاِنَّ لَكَ فِي الْحَيٰوةِ اَنْ تَقُولَ لَا مِسَاسَۖ وَاِنَّ لَكَ مَوْعِداً لَنْ تُخْلَفَهُۚ وَانْظُرْ اِلٰٓى اِلٰهِكَ الَّذ۪ي ظَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ عَاكِفاًۜ لَنُحَرِّقَنَّهُ ثُمَّ لَنَنْسِفَنَّهُ فِي الْيَمِّ نَسْفاً

He said, ‘Go! In the this world you will have to say, "Untouchable!" And you have an appointment which you will not fail to keep. Look at your god to which you devoted so much time. We will burn it up and then scatter it as dust into the sea.

اِنَّـمَٓا اِلٰهُكُمُ اللّٰهُ الَّذ۪ي لَٓا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۜ وَسِعَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عِلْماً

Innama ilahukumu Allahuallathee la ilaha illa huwa wasiAAakulla shay-in AAilma

Your god is Allah alone, there is no god but Him. He encompasses all things in His knowledge.’

كَذٰلِكَ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ اَنْـبَٓاءِ مَا قَدْ سَبَقَۚ وَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَاكَ مِنْ لَدُنَّا ذِكْراًۚ

Kathalika naqussu AAalayka minanba-i ma qad sabaqa waqad ataynakamin ladunna thikra

In this way We give you news of what has gone before and We have given you a reminder direct from Us.

مَنْ اَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ فَاِنَّهُ يَحْمِلُ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ وِزْراًۙ

Man aAArada AAanhu fa-innahu yahmiluyawma alqiyamati wizra

Those who turn away from it will bear a heavy burden on the Day of Rising,

خَالِد۪ينَ ف۪يهِۜ وَسَٓاءَ لَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ حِمْلاًۙ

Khalideena feehi wasaa lahumyawma alqiyamati himla

remaining in it timelessly, for ever. What an evil load they will bear on the Day of Rising!

يَوْمَ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ وَنَحْشُرُ الْمُجْرِم۪ينَ يَوْمَئِذٍ زُرْقاًۚ

Yawma yunfakhu fee assooriwanahshuru almujrimeena yawma-ithin zurqa

On the Day the Trumpet is blown – and We will gather the evildoers sightless on that Day –

يَتَخَافَتُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ اِنْ لَبِثْتُمْ اِلَّا عَشْراً

Yatakhafatoona baynahum in labithtumilla AAashra

they will whisper secretly to one other, ‘You only stayed for ten. ’

نَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ اِذْ يَقُولُ اَمْثَلُهُمْ طَر۪يقَةً اِنْ لَبِثْتُمْ اِلَّا يَوْماً۟

Nahnu aAAlamu bima yaqooloonaith yaqoolu amthaluhum tareeqatan in labithtum illayawma

We know best what they will say when the most correct of them will say, ‘You only stayed a day. ’

وَيَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ الْجِبَالِ فَقُلْ يَنْسِفُهَا رَبّ۪ي نَسْفاًۙ

Wayas-aloonaka AAani aljibali faqulyansifuha rabbee nasfa

They will ask you about the mountains. Say: ‘My Lord will scatter them as dust.

فَيَذَرُهَا قَاعاً صَفْصَفاًۙ

Fayatharuha qaAAan safsafa

He will leave them as a barren, level plain

لَا تَرٰى ف۪يهَا عِوَجاً وَلَٓا اَمْتاً

La tara feeha AAiwajanwala amta

on which you will see no dip or gradient. ’

يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَّبِعُونَ الدَّاعِيَ لَا عِوَجَ لَهُۚ وَخَشَعَتِ الْاَصْوَاتُ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ فَلَا تَسْمَعُ اِلَّا هَمْساً

Yawma-ithin yattabiAAoona addaAAiyala AAiwaja lahu wakhashaAAati al-aswatu lirrahmanifala tasmaAAu illa hamsa

On that day they will follow the Summoner who has no crookedness in him at all. Voices will be humbled before the All-Merciful and nothing but a whisper will be heard.

يَوْمَئِذٍ لَا تَنْفَعُ الشَّفَاعَةُ اِلَّا مَنْ اَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمٰنُ وَرَضِيَ لَهُ قَوْلاً

Yawma-ithin la tanfaAAu ashshafaAAatuilla man athina lahu arrahmanuwaradiya lahu qawla

On that Day intercession will not be of any use except for him whom the All-Merciful has authorised and with whose speech He is well-pleased.

يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ اَيْد۪يهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يُح۪يطُونَ بِه۪ عِلْماً

YaAAlamu ma bayna aydeehim wamakhalfahum wala yuheetoona bihi AAilma

He knows what is in front of them and behind them. But their knowledge does not encompass Him.

وَعَنَتِ الْوُجُوهُ لِلْحَيِّ الْقَيُّومِۜ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنْ حَمَلَ ظُلْماً

WaAAanati alwujoohu lilhayyialqayyoomi waqad khaba man hamala thulma

Faces will be humbled to the Living, the All-Sustaining. and anyone weighed down with wrongdoing will have failed.

وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِنَ الصَّالِحَاتِ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَا يَخَافُ ظُلْماً وَلَا هَضْماً

Waman yaAAmal mina assalihatiwahuwa mu/minun fala yakhafu thulmanwala hadma

But anyone who does right actions, being a mumin, need fear no wrong or any belittlement.

وَكَذٰلِكَ اَنْزَلْنَاهُ قُرْاٰناً عَرَبِياًّ وَصَرَّفْنَا ف۪يهِ مِنَ الْوَع۪يدِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ اَوْ يُحْدِثُ لَهُمْ ذِكْراً

Wakathalika anzalnahu qur-ananAAarabiyyan wasarrafna feehi mina alwaAAeedilaAAallahum yattaqoona aw yuhdithu lahum thikra

In this way We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur’an and We have made various threats in it so that hopefully they will have taqwa or it will spur them into remembrance.

فَتَعَالَى اللّٰهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّۚ وَلَا تَعْجَلْ بِالْقُرْاٰنِ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يُقْضٰٓى اِلَيْكَ وَحْيُهُۘ وَقُلْ رَبِّ زِدْن۪ي عِلْماً

FataAAala Allahualmaliku alhaqqu wala taAAjal bilqur-animin qabli an yuqda ilayka wahyuhu waqul rabbizidnee AAilma

High exalted be Allah, the King, the Real! Do not rush ahead with the Qur’an before its revelation to you is complete, and say: ‘My Lord, increase me in knowledge. ’

وَلَقَدْ عَهِدْنَٓا اِلٰٓى اٰدَمَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَنَسِيَ وَلَمْ نَجِدْ لَهُ عَزْماً۟

Walaqad AAahidna ila adamamin qablu fanasiya walam najid lahu AAazma

We made a contract with Adam before, but he forgot. We did not find that he had a firm resolve.

وَاِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلٰٓئِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لِاٰدَمَ فَسَجَدُٓوا اِلَّٓا اِبْل۪يسَۜ اَبٰى

Wa-ith qulna lilmala-ikatiosjudoo li-adama fasajadoo illa ibleesa aba

When We said to the angels, ‘Prostrate yourselves to Adam!’ they prostrated, with the exception of Iblis who disdained to do it.

فَقُلْنَا يَٓا اٰدَمُ اِنَّ هٰذَا عَدُوٌّ لَكَ وَلِزَوْجِكَ فَلَا يُخْرِجَنَّكُمَا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ فَتَشْقٰى

Faqulna ya adamu innahatha AAaduwwun laka walizawjika falayukhrijannakuma mina aljannati fatashqa

We said, ‘Adam, this is an enemy for you and your wife, so do not let him expel you from the Garden and thus make you miserable.

اِنَّ لَكَ اَلَّا تَجُوعَ ف۪يهَا وَلَا تَعْرٰىۙ

Inna laka alla tajooAAa feehawala taAAra

You will not go hungry in it or suffer from nakedness.

وَاَنَّكَ لَا تَظْمَؤُ۬ا ف۪يهَا وَلَا تَضْحٰى

Waannaka la tathmaofeeha wala tadha

You will not go thirsty in it or burn in the sun. ’

فَوَسْوَسَ اِلَيْهِ الشَّيْطَانُ قَالَ يَٓا اٰدَمُ هَلْ اَدُلُّكَ عَلٰى شَجَرَةِ الْخُلْدِ وَمُلْكٍ لَا يَبْلٰى

Fawaswasa ilayhi ashshaytanuqala ya adamu hal adulluka AAalashajarati alkhuldi wamulkin la yabla

But Shaytan whispered to him, saying, ‘Adam, shall I show you the way to the Tree of Everlasting Life and to a kingdom which will never fade away?’

فَاَكَلَا مِنْهَا فَبَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْاٰتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخْصِفَانِ عَلَيْهِمَا مِنْ وَرَقِ الْجَنَّةِۘ وَعَصٰٓى اٰدَمُ رَبَّهُ فَغَوٰىۖ

Faakala minha fabadat lahumasaw-atuhuma watafiqa yakhsifaniAAalayhima min waraqi aljannati waAAasa adamurabbahu faghawa

So the two of them ate from it and their private parts were disclosed to them and they started stitching together the leaves of the Garden to cover themselves. Adam disobeyed his Lord and became misled.

ثُمَّ اجْتَبٰيهُ رَبُّهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيْهِ وَهَدٰى

Thumma ijtabahu rabbuhu fatabaAAalayhi wahada

But then his Lord chose him and turned to him and guided him.

قَالَ اهْبِطَا مِنْهَا جَم۪يعاً بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّۚ فَاِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ مِنّ۪ي هُدًى فَمَنِ اتَّـبَعَ هُدَايَ فَلَا يَضِلُّ وَلَا يَشْقٰى

Qala ihbita minhajameeAAan baAAdukum libaAAdin AAaduwwun fa-immaya/tiyannakum minnee hudan famani ittabaAAa hudaya falayadillu wala yashqa

He said, ‘Go down from it, all of you, as enemies to one another! But when guidance comes to you from Me, all those who follow My guidance will not go astray and will not be miserable.

وَمَنْ اَعْرَضَ عَنْ ذِكْر۪ي فَاِنَّ لَهُ مَع۪يشَةً ضَنْكاً وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ اَعْمٰى

Waman aAArada AAan thikreefa-inna lahu maAAeeshatan danka wanahshuruhuyawma alqiyamati aAAma

But if anyone turns away from My reminder, his life will be a dark and narrow one and on the Day of Rising We will gather him blind. ’

قَالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرْتَـن۪ٓي اَعْمٰى وَقَدْ كُنْتُ بَص۪يراً

Qala rabbi lima hashartaneeaAAma waqad kuntu baseera

He will say, ‘My Lord, why have you gathered me blind when before I was able to see?’

قَالَ كَذٰلِكَ اَتَتْكَ اٰيَاتُنَا فَـنَس۪يتَهَاۚ وَكَذٰلِكَ الْيَوْمَ تُنْسٰى

Qala kathalika atatka ayatunafanaseetaha wakathalika alyawma tunsa

He will say, ‘Just as Our Signs came to you and you forgot them, in the same way you too are forgotten today. ’

وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجْز۪ي مَنْ اَسْرَفَ وَلَمْ يُؤْمِنْ بِاٰيَاتِ رَبِّه۪ۜ وَلَعَذَابُ الْاٰخِرَةِ اَشَدُّ وَاَبْقٰى

Wakathalika najzee man asrafa walamyu/min bi-ayati rabbihi walaAAathabu al-akhiratiashaddu waabqa

That is how We repay anyone who is profligate and does not have iman in the Signs of his Lord. And the punishment of the Next World is much harsher and longer lasting.

اَفَلَمْ يَهْدِ لَهُمْ كَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِنَ الْقُرُونِ يَمْشُونَ ف۪ي مَسَاكِنِهِمْۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَاتٍ لِاُو۬لِي النُّهٰى۟

Afalam yahdi lahum kam ahlaknaqablahum mina alqurooni yamshoona fee masakinihim inna feethalika laayatin li-olee annuha

Are they not guided by the many generations We have destroyed before them, among whose dwelling places they walk about? There are Signs in that for people of sound intellect.

وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَبِّكَ لَكَانَ لِزَاماً وَاَجَلٌ مُسَمًّىۜ

Walawla kalimatun sabaqat minrabbika lakana lizaman waajalun musamma

And were it not for a prior word from your Lord, and a specified term, it would inevitably have already taken place.

فَاصْبِرْ عَلٰى مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَاۚ وَمِنْ اٰنَٓائِ الَّيْلِ فَسَبِّـحْ وَاَطْرَافَ النَّهَارِ لَعَلَّكَ تَرْضٰى

Fasbir AAala mayaqooloona wasabbih bihamdi rabbika qabla tulooAAiashshamsi waqabla ghuroobiha wamin ana-iallayli fasabbih waatrafa annaharilaAAallaka tarda

So be steadfast in the face of what they say and glorify your Lord with praise before the rising of the sun and before its setting. And glorify Him during part of the night and at both ends of the day, so that hopefully you will be pleased.

وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ اِلٰى مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِه۪ٓ اَزْوَاجاً مِنْهُمْ زَهْرَةَ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ ف۪يهِۜ وَرِزْقُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ وَاَبْقٰى

Wala tamuddanna AAaynayka ilama mattaAAna bihi azwajan minhum zahrata alhayatiaddunya linaftinahum feehi warizqu rabbika khayrunwaabqa

Do not direct your eyes longingly to what We have given certain of them to enjoy, the flower of the life of this world, so that We can test them by it. Your Lord’s provision is better and longer lasting.

وَأْمُرْ اَهْلَكَ بِالصَّلٰوةِ وَاصْطَبِرْ عَلَيْهَاۜ لَا نَسْـَٔلُكَ رِزْقاًۜ نَحْنُ نَرْزُقُكَۜ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلتَّقْوٰى

Wa/mur ahlaka bissalatiwastabir AAalayha la nas-alukarizqan nahnu narzuquka walAAaqibatu littaqwa

Instruct your family to do salat, and be constant in it. We do not ask you for provision. We provide for you. And the best end result is gained by taqwa.

وَقَالُوا لَوْلَا يَأْت۪ينَا بِاٰيَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّه۪ۜ اَوَلَمْ تَأْتِهِمْ بَيِّنَةُ مَا فِي الصُّحُفِ الْاُو۫لٰى

Waqaloo lawla ya/teenabi-ayatin min rabbihi awa lam ta/tihim bayyinatu mafee assuhufi al-oola

They say, ‘If only he would bring us a Sign from his Lord!’ Have they not received the Clear Sign of what is written in the earlier texts?

وَلَوْ اَنَّٓا اَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ مِنْ قَبْلِه۪ لَقَالُوا رَبَّنَا لَوْلَٓا اَرْسَلْتَ اِلَيْنَا رَسُولاً فَنَتَّبِعَ اٰيَاتِكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ نَذِلَّ وَنَخْزٰى

Walaw anna ahlaknahum biAAathabinmin qablihi laqaloo rabbana lawla arsaltailayna rasoolan fanattabiAAa ayatika minqabli an nathilla wanakhza

If We had destroyed them with a punishment before this, they would have said, ‘Our Lord, why did You not send us a Messenger, so we could follow Your Signs before we were humbled and disgraced?’

قُلْ كُلٌّ مُتَرَبِّصٌ فَتَرَبَّصُواۚ فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ اَصْحَابُ الصِّرَاطِ السَّوِيِّ وَمَنِ اهْتَدٰى

Qul kullun mutarabbisun fatarabbasoofasataAAlamoona man as-habu assiratiassawiyyi wamani ihtada

Say: ‘Everyone is waiting expectantly so wait expectantly. You will soon know who are the Companions of the Right Path and who is is guided.’
