Children of Israel verses

Surah Name	Verses number and verse
The Cow	40. O Children of Israel! Remember My blessings which I bestowed upon you, and fulfill your pledge to Me, and I will fulfill My pledge to you, and fear Me.
The Cow	41. And believe in what I revealed, confirming what is with you; and do not be the first to deny it; and do not exchange My revelations for a small price; and be conscious of Me.
The Cow	42. And do not mix truth with falsehood, and do not conceal the truth while you know.
The Cow	43. And attend to your prayers, and practice regular charity, and kneel with those who kneel.
The Cow	44. Do you command people to virtuous conduct, and forget yourselves, even though you read the Scripture? Do you not understand?
The Cow	45. And seek help through patience and prayer. But it is difficult, except for the devout.
The Cow	46. Those who know that they will meet their Lord, and that to Him they will return.
The Cow	47. O Children of Israel! Remember My favor which I bestowed upon you, and that I favored you over all nations.
The Cow	48. And beware of a Day when no soul will avail another in the least, nor will any intercession be accepted on its behalf, nor will any ransom be taken from it, nor will they be helped.
The Cow	49. And recall that We delivered you from the people of Pharaoh. They inflicted on you terrible persecution, killing your sons and sparing your women. Therein was a tremendous trial from your Lord.
The Cow	50. And recall that We parted the sea for you, so We saved you, and We drowned the people of Pharaoh as you looked on.
The Cow	51. And recall that We appointed for Moses forty nights. Then you took to worshiping the calf after him, and you turned wicked.
The Cow	52. Then We pardoned you after that, so that you might be grateful.
The Cow	53. And recall that We gave Moses the Scripture and the Criterion, so that you may be guided.
The Cow	54. And recall that Moses said to his people, “O my people, you have done wrong to yourselves by worshiping the calf. So repent to your Maker, and kill your egos. That would be better for you with your Maker.” So He turned to you in repentance. He is the Accepter of Repentance, the Merciful.
The Cow	55. And recall that you said, “O Moses, we will not believe in you unless we see God plainly.” Thereupon the thunderbolt struck you, as you looked on.
The Cow	56. Then We revived you after your death, so that you may be appreciative.
The Cow	57. And We shaded you with clouds, and We sent down to you manna and quails: “Eat of the good things We have provided for you.” They did not wrong Us, but they used to wrong their own souls.
The Cow	58. And recall that We said, “Enter this town, and eat plentifully from it whatever you wish; but enter the gate humbly, and say, 'Pardon.' We will forgive your sins, and give increase to the virtuous.”
The Cow	59. But the wrongdoers among them substituted words other than those given to them, so We sent down on the wrongdoers a plague from heaven, because of their wicked behavior.
The Cow	60. And recall when Moses prayed for water for his people. We said, “Strike the rock with your staff.” Thereupon twelve springs gushed out from it, and each tribe recognized its drinking-place. “Eat and drink from God’s provision, and do not corrupt the earth with disobedience.”
The Cow	61. And recall when you said, “O Moses, we cannot endure one kind of food, so call to your Lord to produce for us of what the earth grows: of its herbs, and its cucumbers, and its garlic, and its lentils, and its onions.” He said, “Would you substitute worse for better? Go down to Egypt, where you will have what you asked for.” They were struck with humiliation and poverty, and incurred wrath from God. That was because they rejected God’s revelations and wrongfully killed the prophets. That was because they disobeyed and transgressed.
The Cow	62. Those who believe, and those who are Jewish, and the Christians, and the Sabeans—any who believe in God and the Last Day, and act righteously—will have their reward with their Lord; they have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
The Cow	63. And recall when We received a pledge from you, and raised the Mount above you: “Take what We have given you earnestly, and remember what is in it, that you may attain righteousness.”
The Cow	64. But after that you turned away. Were it not for God’s grace and mercy towards you, you would have been among the losers.
The Cow	65. And you surely knew those of you who violated the Sabbath. We said to them, “Be despicable apes!”
The Cow	66. Thus We made it a deterrent for their generation, and for subsequent generations, and a lesson for the righteous.
The Cow	67. And recall when Moses said to his people, “God commands you to sacrifice a heifer.” They said, “Do you make a mockery of us?” He said, “God forbid that I should be so ignorant.”
The Cow	68. They said, “Call upon your Lord to show us which one.” He said, “He says she is a heifer, neither too old, nor too young, but in between. So do what you are commanded.”
The Cow	69. They said, “Call upon your Lord to show us what her color is.” He said, “He says she is a yellow heifer, bright in color, pleasing to the beholders.”
The Cow	70. They said, “Call upon your Lord to show us which one; the heifers look alike to us; and God willing, we will be guided.”
The Cow	71. He said, “He says she is a heifer, neither yoked to plow the earth, nor to irrigate the field; sound without blemish.” They said, “Now you have brought the truth.” So they slew her; though they almost did not.
The Cow	72. And recall when you killed a person, and disputed in the matter; but God was to expose what you were hiding.
The Cow	73. We said, “Strike him with part of it.” Thus God brings the dead to life; and He shows you His signs, that you may understand.
The Cow	74. Then after that your hearts hardened. They were as rocks, or even harder. For there are some rocks from which rivers gush out, and others that splinter and water comes out from them, and others that sink in awe of God. God is not unaware of what you do.
The Cow	75. Do you hope that they will believe in you, when some of them used to hear the Word of God, and then deliberately distort it, even after understanding it?
The Cow	76. And when they come across those who believe, they say, “We believe,” but when they come together privately, they say, “Will you inform them of what God has disclosed to you, so that they might dispute with you concerning it before your Lord?” Do you not understand?
The Cow	77. Do they not know that God knows what they conceal and what they reveal?
The Cow	78. And among them are uneducated who know the Scripture only through hearsay, and they only speculate.
The Cow	79. So woe to those who write the Scripture with their own hands, and then say, “This is from God,” that they may exchange it for a little price. Woe to them for what their hands have written, and woe to them for what they earn.
The Cow	80. And they say, “The Fire will not touch us except for a number of days.” Say, “Have you received a promise from God—God never breaks His promise—or are you saying about God what you do not know?”
The Cow	81. Indeed, whoever commits misdeeds, and becomes besieged by his iniquities—these are the inmates of the Fire, wherein they will dwell forever.
The Cow	82. As for those who believe and do righteous deeds—these are the inhabitants of Paradise, wherein they will dwell forever.
The Cow	83. We made a covenant with the Children of Israel: “Worship none but God; and be good to parents, and relatives, and orphans, and the needy; and speak nicely to people; and pray regularly, and give alms.” Then you turned away, except for a few of you, recanting.
The Cow	84. And We made a covenant with you: “You shall not shed the blood of your own, nor shall you evict your own from your homes.” You agreed, and were all witnesses.
The Cow	85. But here you are, killing your own, and expelling a group of your own from their homes—conspiring against them in wrongdoing and hostility. And if they come to you as captives, you ransom them, although it was forbidden to you. Is it that you believe in part of the Scripture, and disbelieve in part? What is the reward for those among you who do that but humiliation in this life? And on the Day of Resurrection, they will be assigned to the most severe torment. God is not unaware of what you do.
The Cow	86. Those are they who bought the present life for the Hereafter, so the punishment will not be lightened for them, nor will they be helped.
The Cow	87. We gave Moses the Scripture, and sent a succession of messengers after him. And We gave Jesus son of Mary the clear proofs, and We supported him with the Holy Spirit. Is it that whenever a messenger comes to you with anything your souls do not desire, you grew arrogant, calling some impostors, and killing others?
The Cow	88. And they said, “Our hearts are sealed.” Rather, God has cursed them for their ingratitude. They have little faith.
The Cow	89. And when a scripture came to them from God, confirming what they have—although previously they were seeking victory against those who disbelieved—but when there came to them what they recognized, they disbelieved in it. So God’s curse is upon the disbelievers.
The Cow	90. Miserable is what they sold their souls for—rejecting what God has revealed, out of resentment that God would send down His grace upon whomever He chooses from among His servants. Thus they incurred wrath upon wrath. And there is a demeaning punishment for the disbelievers.
The Cow	91. And when it is said to them, “Believe in what God has revealed,” they say, “We believe in what was revealed to us,” and they reject anything beyond that, although it is the truth which confirms what they have. Say, “Why did you kill God’s prophets before, if you were believers?”
The Cow	92. Moses came to you with clear proofs, yet you adopted the calf in his absence, and you were in the wrong.
The Cow	93. And We made a covenant with you, and raised the Mount above you: “Take what We have given you firmly, and listen.” They said, “We hear and disobey.” And their hearts became filled with the love of the calf because of their disbelief. Say, “Wretched is what your faith commands you to do, if you are believers.”
The Cow	94. Say, “If the Final Home with God is yours alone, to the exclusion of all other people, then wish for death if you are sincere.”
The Cow	95. But they will never wish for it, because of what their hands have forwarded. God is aware of the evildoers.
The Cow	96. You will find them, of all mankind, the most eager for life, even more than the polytheists. Every one of them wishes he could live a thousand years; but to be granted a long life will not nudge him from the punishment. God is Seeing of what they do.
The Cow	97. Say, “Whoever is hostile to Gabriel—it is he who revealed it to your heart by God’s leave, confirming what preceded it, and guidance and good news for the believers.”
The Cow	98. Whoever is hostile to God, and His angels, and His messengers, and Gabriel, and Michael—God is hostile to the faithless.
The Cow	99. We have revealed to you clear signs, and none rejects them except the sinners.
The Cow	100. Is it not that whenever they make a covenant, some of them toss it aside? In fact, most of them do not believe.
The Cow	101. And when there came to them a messenger from God, confirming what they had, a faction of those who were given the Book threw the Book of God behind their backs, as if they do not know.
The Cow	102. And they followed what the devils taught during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but it was the devils who disbelieved. They taught the people witchcraft and what was revealed in Babylon to the two angels Harut and Marut. They did not teach anybody until they had said, “We are a test, so do not lose faith.” But they learned from them the means to cause separation between man and his wife. But they cannot harm anyone except with God's permission. And they learned what would harm them and not benefit them. Yet they knew that whoever deals in it will have no share in the Hereafter. Miserable is what they sold their souls for, if they only knew.
The Cow	103. Had they believed and been righteous, the reward from God would have been better, if they only knew.
The Cow	104. O you who believe! Do not say ambiguous words, but say words of respect, and listen. The disbelievers will have a painful torment.
The Cow	105. It is never the wish of the disbelievers from among the People of the Book, nor of the polytheists, that any good should be sent down to you from your Lord. But God chooses for His mercy whomever He wills. God is Possessor of Sublime Grace.
The Cow	106. We never nullify a verse, nor cause it to be forgotten, unless We bring one better than it, or similar to it. Do you not know that God is capable of all things?
The Cow	107. Do you not know that to God belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, and that apart from God you have no guardian or helper?
The Cow	108. Or do you want to question your Messenger as Moses was questioned before? Whoever exchanges faith for disbelief has strayed from the right path.
The Cow	109. Many of the People of the Book wish to turn you back into unbelievers after you have believed, out of envy on their part, after the Truth has become clear to them. But pardon and overlook, until God brings His command. God has power over all things.
The Cow	110. And perform the prayer, and give alms. Whatever good you forward for yourselves, you will find it with God. God is Seeing of everything you do.
The Cow	111. And they say, “None will enter Heaven unless he is a Jew or a Christian.” These are their wishes. Say, “Produce your proof, if you are truthful.”
The Cow	112. In fact, whoever submits himself to God, and is a doer of good, will have his reward with his Lord—they have nothing to fear, nor shall they grieve.
The Cow	113. The Jews say, “The Christians are not based on anything;” and the Christians say, “The Jews are not based on anything.” Yet they both read the Scripture. Similarly, the ignorant said the same thing. God will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding their differences.
The Cow	114. Who is more unjust than him who forbids the remembrance of God’s name in places of worship, and contributes to their ruin? These ought not to enter them except in fear. For them is disgrace in this world, and for them is a terrible punishment in the Hereafter.
The Cow	115. To God belong the East and the West. Whichever way you turn, there is God’s presence. God is Omnipresent and Omniscient.
The Cow	116. And they say, “God has begotten a son.” Be He glorified. Rather, His is everything in the heavens and the earth; all are obedient to Him.
The Cow	117. Originator of the heavens and the earth. Whenever He decrees a thing, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes.
The Cow	118. Those who do not know say, “If only God would speak to us, or a sign would come to us.” Thus said those who were before them. Their hearts are alike. We have made the signs clear for people who are certain.
The Cow	119. We have sent you with the truth—bringing good news, and giving warnings. You will not be questioned about the inmates of Hell.
The Cow	120. The Jews and the Christians will not approve of you, unless you follow their creed. Say, “God’s guidance is the guidance.” Should you follow their desires, after the knowledge that has come to you, you will have in God neither guardian nor helper.
The Cow	121. Those to whom We have given the Scripture follow it, as it ought to be followed—these believe in it. But as for those who reject it—these are the losers.
The Cow	122. O Children of Israel! Remember My blessing which I bestowed upon you, and that I have favored you over all people.
The Cow	123. And beware of a Day when no soul will avail another soul in any way, and no ransom will be accepted from it, and no intercession will benefit it, and they will not be helped.
The Cow
The Cow	144. We have seen your face turned towards the heaven. So We will turn you towards a direction that will satisfy you. So turn your face towards the Sacred Mosque. And wherever you may be, turn your faces towards it. Those who were given the Book know that it is the Truth from their Lord; and God is not unaware of what they do.
The Cow
The Cow
The Cow	211. Ask the Children of Israel how many clear signs We have given them. Whoever alters the blessing of God after it has come to him—God is severe in retribution.
The Cow	212. Beautified is the life of this world for those who disbelieve, and they ridicule those who believe. But the righteous will be above them on the Day of Resurrection. God provides to whomever He wills without measure.
The Cow	213. Humanity used to be one community; then God sent the prophets, bringing good news and giving warnings. And He sent down with them the Scripture, with the truth, to judge between people regarding their differences. But none differed over it except those who were given it—after the proofs had come to them—out of mutual envy between them. Then God guided those who believed to the truth they had disputed, in accordance with His will. God guides whom He wills to a straight path.
The Cow	214. Or do you expect to enter Paradise before the example of those who came before you had reached you? Adversity and hardship had afflicted them, and they were so shaken up, that the Messenger and those who believed with him said, “When is God’s victory?” Indeed, God’s victory is near.
The Cow
The Cow	246. Have you not considered the notables of the Children of Israel after Moses? When they said to a prophet of theirs, “Appoint a king for us, and we will fight in the cause of God.” He said, “Is it possible that, if fighting was ordained for you, you would not fight?” They said, “Why would we not fight in the cause of God, when we were driven out of our homes, along with our children?” But when fighting was ordained for them, they turned away, except for a few of them. But God is aware of the wrongdoers.
The Cow	247. Their prophet said to them, “God has appointed Saul to be your king.” They said, “How can he have authority over us, when we are more worthy of authority than he, and he was not given plenty of wealth?” He said, “God has chosen him over you, and has increased him in knowledge and stature.” God bestows His sovereignty upon whomever He wills. God is Embracing and Knowing.
The Cow	248. And their prophet said to them, “The proof of his kingship is that the Ark will be restored to you, bringing tranquility from your Lord, and relics left by the family of Moses and the family of Aaron. It will be carried by the angels. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.”
The Cow	249. When Saul set out with the troops, he said, “God will be testing you with a river. Whoever drinks from it does not belong with me. But whoever does not drink from it, does belong with me, except for whoever scoops up a little with his hand.” But they drank from it, except for a few of them. Then, when he crossed it, he and those who believed with him, they said, “We have no strength to face Goliath and his troops today.” But those who knew that they would meet God said, “How many a small group has defeated a large group by God’s will. God is with the steadfast.”
The Cow	250. And when they confronted Goliath and his troops, they said, “Our Lord, pour down patience on us, and strengthen our foothold, and support us against the faithless people.”
The Cow	251. And they defeated them by God’s leave, and David killed Goliath, and God gave him sovereignty and wisdom, and taught him as He willed. Were it not for God restraining the people, some by means of others, the earth would have gone to ruin. But God is gracious towards mankind.
The Cow	252. These are God’s revelations, which We recite to you in truth. You are one of the messengers.
The Cow	253. These messengers: We gave some advantage over others. To some of them God spoke directly, and some He raised in rank. We gave Jesus son of Mary the clear miracles, and We strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. Had God willed, those who succeeded them would not have fought one another, after the clear signs had come to them; but they disputed; some of them believed, and some of them disbelieved. Had God willed, they would not have fought one another; but God does whatever He desires.

The Family of Amran	2. God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal.
The Family of Amran	3. He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel.
The Family of Amran	4. Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge.
The Family of Amran
The Family of Amran
The Family of Amran	11. Like the behavior of Pharaoh’s people and those before them. They rejected Our signs, so God seized them for their sins. God is Strict in retribution.
The Family of Amran	12. Say to those who disbelieve, “You will be defeated, and rounded up into Hell—an awful resting-place.”
The Family of Amran
The Family of Amran	33. God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind.
The Family of Amran	34. Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower.
The Family of Amran
The Family of Amran	93. All food was permissible to the Children of Israel, except what Israel forbade for himself before the Torah was revealed. Say, “Bring the Torah, and read it, if you are truthful.”
The Family of Amran	94. Whoever forges lies about God after that—these are the unjust.
The Family of Amran	95. Say, “God has spoken the truth, so follow the religion of Abraham the Monotheist; he was not a Pagan.”
The Family of Amran	96. The first house established for mankind is the one at Bekka; blessed, and guidance for all people.
The Family of Amran	97. In it are evident signs; the Station of Abraham. Whoever enters it attains security. Pilgrimage to the House is a duty to God for all who can make the journey. But as for those who refuse—God is Independent of the worlds.
The Family of Amran	98. Say, “O People of the Scripture, why do you reject the Revelations of God, when God witnesses what you do?”
The Family of Amran	99. Say, “O People of the Scripture, why do you hinder from God’s path those who believe, seeking to distort it, even though you are witnesses? God is not unaware of what you do.”
The Family of Amran	100. O you who believe! If you obey a party of those who were given the Scripture, they will turn you, after your belief, into disbelievers.



The Women	46. Among the Jews are some who take words out of context, and say, “We hear and we disobey”, and “Hear without listening”, and “Observe us,” twisting with their tongues and slandering the religion. Had they said, “We hear and we obey”, and “Listen”, and “Give us your attention,” it would have been better for them, and more upright. But God has cursed them for their disbelief; they do not believe except a little.
The Women	47. O you who were given the Book! Believe in what We sent down, confirming what you have, before We obliterate faces and turn them inside out, or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath-breakers. The command of God is always done.
The Women	48. God does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives anything less than that to whomever He wills. Whoever associates anything with God has devised a monstrous sin.
The Women	49. Have you not considered those who claim purity for themselves? Rather, God purifies whom He wills, and they will not be wronged a whit.
The Women
The Women	153. The People of the Scripture challenge you to bring down to them a book from the sky. They had asked Moses for something even greater. They said, “Show us God plainly.” The thunderbolt struck them for their wickedness. Then they took the calf for worship, even after the clear proofs had come to them. Yet We pardoned that, and We gave Moses a clear authority.
The Women	154. And We raised the Mount above them in accordance with their covenant, and We said to them, “Enter the gate humbly”, and We said to them, “Do not violate the Sabbath”, and We received from them a solemn pledge.
The Women
The Women	163. We have inspired you, as We had inspired Noah and the prophets after him. And We inspired Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and Jesus, and Job, and Jonah, and Aaron, and Solomon. And We gave David the Psalms.
The Women	164. Some messengers We have already told you about, while some messengers We have not told you about. And God spoke to Moses directly.
The Women	165. Messengers delivering good news, and bringing warnings; so that people may have no excuse before God after the coming of the messengers. God is Powerful and Wise.
The Women	166. But God bears witness to what He revealed to you. He revealed it with His knowledge. And the angels bear witness. Though God is a sufficient witness.
The Women	167. Those who disbelieve and repel from God’s path have gone far astray.
The Women	168. Those who disbelieve and transgress; God is not about to forgive them, nor will He guide them to any path.
The Women	169. Except to the path of Hell, where they will dwell forever. And that is easy for God.
The Women	170. O people! The Messenger has come to you with the truth from your Lord, so believe—that is best for you. But if you disbelieve, to God belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. God is Omniscient and Wise.
The Women	171. O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion, and do not say about God except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, is the Messenger of God, and His Word that He conveyed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in God and His messengers, and do not say, “Three.” Refrain—it is better for you. God is only one God. Glory be to Him—that He should have a son. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and the earth, and God is a sufficient Protector.
The Women	172. The Messiah does not disdain to be a servant of God, nor do the favored angels. Whoever disdains His worship, and is too arrogant—He will round them up to Himself altogether.
The Women	173. But as for those who believe and do good works, He will pay them their wages in full, and will increase His grace for them. But as for those who disdain and are too proud, He will punish them with an agonizing punishment. And they will find for themselves, apart from God, no lord and no savior.
The Women	174. O people! A proof has come to you from your Lord, and We sent down to you a clear light.
The Women	175. As for those who believe in God, and hold fast to Him, He will admit them into mercy and grace from Him, and will guide them to Himself in a straight path.

The Food	7. And Remember God’s blessings upon you, and His covenant which He covenanted with you; when you said, “We hear and we obey.” And remain conscious of God, for God knows what the hearts contain.
The Food	8. O you who believe! Be upright to God, witnessing with justice; and let not the hatred of a certain people prevent you from acting justly. Adhere to justice, for that is nearer to piety; and fear God. God is informed of what you do.
The Food	9. God has promised those who believe and work righteousness: they will have forgiveness and a great reward.
The Food	10. As for those who disbelieve and reject Our revelations—these are the inmates of Hell.
The Food	11. O you who believe! Remember God's blessings upon you; when certain people intended to extend their hands against you, and He restrained their hands from you. So reverence God, and in God let the believers put their trust.
The Food	12. God received a pledge from the Children of Israel, and We raised among them twelve chiefs. God said, “I am with you; if you perform the prayer, and pay the alms, and believe in My messengers and support them, and lend God a loan of righteousness; I will remit your sins, and admit you into Gardens beneath which rivers flow. But whoever among you disbelieves afterwards has strayed from the right way.”
The Food	13. Because of their breaking their pledge, We cursed them, and made their hearts hard. They twist the words out of their context, and they disregarded some of what they were reminded of. You will always witness deceit from them, except for a few of them. But pardon them, and overlook. God loves the doers of good.
The Food	14. And from those who say, “We are Christians,” We received their pledge, but they neglected some of what they were reminded of. So We provoked enmity and hatred among them until the Day of Resurrection; God will then inform them of what they used to craft.
The Food	15. O People of the Book! Our Messenger has come to you, clarifying for you much of what you kept hidden of the Book, and overlooking much. A light from God has come to you, and a clear Book.
The Food	16. God guides with it whoever follows His approval to the ways of peace, and He brings them out of darkness into light, by His permission, and He guides them in a straight path.
The Food	17. They disbelieve those who say, “God is the Christ, the son of Mary.” Say, “Who can prevent God, if He willed, from annihilating the Christ son of Mary, and his mother, and everyone on earth?” To God belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and what is between them. He creates whatever He wills, and God has power over everything.
The Food	18. The Jews and the Christians say, “We are the children of God, and His beloved.” Say, “Why then does He punish you for your sins?” In fact, you are humans from among those He created. He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills. To God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and what lies between them, and to Him is the return.
The Food	19. O People of the Book! Our Messenger has come to you, making things clear to you—after a cessation of messengers—so that you cannot say, “No preacher has come to us, and no warner.” In fact, a preacher has come to you, and a warner; and God is Capable of everything.
The Food	20. When Moses said to his people, “O my people, remember God’s blessings upon you, when He placed prophets among you, and made you kings, and gave you what He never gave any other people.”
The Food	21. “O my people, enter the Holy Land which God has assigned for you, and do not turn back, lest you return as losers.”
The Food	22. They said, “O Moses, there are tyrannical people in it; we will not enter it until they leave it. If they leave it, we will be entering.”
The Food	23. Two men of those who feared, but whom God had blessed, said, “Go at them by the gate; and when you have entered it, you will prevail. And put your trust in God, if you are believers.”
The Food	24. They said, “O Moses, we will not enter it, ever, as long as they are in it. So go ahead, you and your Lord, and fight. We are staying right here.”
The Food	25. He said, “My Lord! I have control only over myself and my brother, so separate between us and between the wicked people.”
The Food	26. He said, “It is forbidden for them for forty years. They will wander aimlessly in the land. So do not grieve over the defiant people.”
The Food	27. And relate to them the true story of Adam's two sons: when they offered an offering, and it was accepted from one of them, but it was not accepted from the other. He Said, “I will kill you.” He Said, “God accepts only from the righteous.”
The Food	28. “If you extend your hand to kill me, I will not extend my hand to kill you; for I fear God, Lord of the Worlds.”
The Food	29. “I would rather you bear my sin and your sin, and you become among the inmates of the Fire. Such is the reward for the evildoers.”
The Food	30. Then His soul prompted him to kill his brother, so he killed him, and became one of the losers.
The Food	31. Then God sent a raven digging the ground, to show him how to cover his brother's corpse. He said, “Woe to me! I was unable to be like this raven, and bury my brother's corpse.” So he became full of regrets.
The Food	32. Because of that We ordained for the Children of Israel: that whoever kills a person—unless it is for murder or corruption on earth—it is as if he killed the whole of mankind; and whoever saves it, it is as if he saved the whole of mankind. Our messengers came to them with clarifications, but even after that, many of them continue to commit excesses in the land.
The Food	33. The punishment for those who fight God and His Messenger, and strive to spread corruption on earth, is that they be killed, or crucified, or have their hands and feet cut off on opposite sides, or be banished from the land. That is to disgrace them in this life; and in the Hereafter they will have a terrible punishment.
The Food
The Food	43. But why do they come to you for judgment, when they have the Torah, in which is God’s Law? Yet they turn away after that. These are not believers.
The Food	44. We have revealed the Torah, wherein is guidance and light. The submissive prophets ruled the Jews according to it, so did the rabbis and the scholars, as they were required to protect God’s Book, and were witnesses to it. So do not fear people, but fear Me. And do not sell My revelations for a cheap price. Those who do not rule according to what God revealed are the unbelievers.
The Food	45. And We wrote for them in it: a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and an equal wound for a wound; but whoever forgoes it in charity, it will serve as atonement for him. Those who do not rule according to what God revealed are the evildoers.
The Food	46. In their footsteps, We sent Jesus son of Mary, fulfilling the Torah that preceded him; and We gave him the Gospel, wherein is guidance and light, and confirming the Torah that preceded him, and guidance and counsel for the righteous.
The Food	47. So let the people of the Gospel rule according to what God revealed in it. Those who do not rule according to what God revealed are the sinners.
The Food	48. And We revealed to you the Book, with truth, confirming the Scripture that preceded it, and superseding it. So judge between them according to what God revealed, and do not follow their desires if they differ from the truth that has come to you. For each of you We have assigned a law and a method. Had God willed, He could have made you a single nation, but He tests you through what He has given you. So compete in righteousness. To God is your return, all of you; then He will inform you of what you had disputed.
The Food	49. And judge between them according to what God revealed, and do not follow their desires. And beware of them, lest they lure you away from some of what God has revealed to you. But if they turn away, know that God intends to strike them with some of their sins. In fact, a great many people are corrupt.
The Food
The Food	64. The Jews say, “God’s hand is tied.” It is their hands that are tied, and they are cursed for what they say. In fact, His hands are outstretched; He gives as He wills. Certainly, what was revealed to you from your Lord will increase many of them in defiance and blasphemy. And We placed between them enmity and hatred, until the Day of Resurrection. Whenever they kindle the fire of war, God extinguishes it. And they strive to spread corruption on earth. God does not love the corrupters.
The Food	65. Had the People of the Scripture believed and been righteous, We would have remitted their sins, and admitted them into the Gardens of Bliss.
The Food	66. Had they observed the Torah, and the Gospel, and what was revealed to them from their Lord, they would have consumed amply from above them, and from beneath their feet. Among them is a moderate community, but evil is what many of them are doing.

The Cattle	83. That was Our argument which We gave to Abraham against his people. We elevate by degrees whomever We will. Your Lord is Wise and Informed.
The Cattle	84. And We gave him Isaac and Jacob—each of them We guided. And We guided Noah previously; and from his descendants David, and Solomon, and Job, and Joseph, and Moses, and Aaron. Thus We reward the righteous.
The Cattle	85. And Zechariah, and John, and Jesus, and Elias—every one of them was of the upright.
The Cattle	86. And Ishmael, and Elijah, and Jonah, and Lot—We favored each one of them over all other people.
The Cattle	87. And of their ancestors, and their descendants, and their siblings—We chose them, and guided them to a straight path.
The Cattle	88. Such is God’s guidance. He guides with it whomever He wills of His servants. Had they associated, their deeds would have gone in vain.
The Cattle	89. Those are they to whom We gave the Book, and wisdom, and prophethood. If these reject them, We have entrusted them to others who do not reject them.
The Cattle	90. Those are they whom God has guided, so follow their guidance. Say, “I ask of you no compensation for it; it is just a reminder for all mankind.”
The Cattle	91. They do not value God as He should be valued, when they say, “God did not reveal anything to any human being.” Say, “Who revealed the Scripture which Moses brought—a light and guidance for humanity?” You put it on scrolls, displaying them, yet concealing much. And you were taught what you did not know—neither you, nor your ancestors. Say, “God;” then leave them toying away in their speculation.
The Cattle	92. This too is a Scripture that We revealed—blessed—verifying what preceded it, that you may warn the Mother of Cities and all around it. Those who believe in the Hereafter believe in it, and are dedicated to their prayers.
The Cattle	93. Who does greater wrong than someone who invents falsehood against God, or says, “It was revealed to me,” when nothing was revealed to him, or says, “I will reveal the like of what God revealed”? If only you could see the wrongdoers in the floods of death, as the angels with arms outstretched: “Give up your souls. Today you are being repaid with the torment of shame for having said about God other than the truth, and for being too proud to accept His revelations.”
The Cattle	94. “You have come to Us individually, just as We created you the first time, leaving behind you everything We gave you. We do not see with you your intercessors—those you claimed were your partners. The link between you is cut, and what you had asserted has failed you.”
The Cattle	95. It is God Who splits the grain and the seed. He brings the living from the dead, and He brings the dead from the living. Such is God. So how could you deviate?
The Cattle	96. It is He Who breaks the dawn. And He made the night for rest, and the sun and the moon for calculation. Such is the disposition of the Almighty, the All-Knowing.
The Cattle	97. And it is He Who created the stars for you, that you may be guided by them in the darkness of land and sea. We thus explain the revelations for people who know.
The Cattle	98. And it is He who produced you from a single person, then a repository, then a depository. We have detailed the revelations for people who understand.
The Cattle	99. And it is He who sends down water from the sky. With it We produce vegetation of all kinds, from which We bring greenery, from which We produce grains in clusters. And palm-trees with hanging clusters, and vineyards, and olives, and pomegranates—similar and dissimilar. Watch their fruits as they grow and ripen. Surely in this are signs for people who believe.
The Cattle
The Cattle
The Cattle
The Cattle	114. “Shall I seek a judge other than God, when He is the One who revealed to you the Book, explained in detail?” Those to whom We gave the Book know that it is the truth revealed from your Lord. So do not be of those who doubt.
The Cattle	115. The Word of your Lord has been completed, in truth and justice. There is no changing to His words. He is the Hearer, the Knower.
The Cattle
The Cattle	146. For the Jews We forbade everything with claws. As of cattle and sheep: We forbade them their fat, except what adheres to their backs, or the entrails, or what is mixed with bone. This is how We penalized them for their inequity. We are indeed truthful.
The Cattle
The Cattle	154. Then We gave Moses the Scripture, perfect for the righteous, and explaining everything clearly, and a beacon, and mercy, that they may believe in the encounter with their Lord.
The Cattle	155. This too is a blessed Scripture that We revealed; so follow it, and be righteous, that you may receive mercy.
The Cattle	156. Lest you say, “The Scripture was revealed to two parties before us, and we were unaware of their teachings.”
The Cattle	157. Or lest you say, “Had the Scripture been revealed to us, we would have been better guided than they.” Clarification has come to you from your Lord, and guidance, and mercy. Who then does greater wrong than he who gives the lie to God's messages, and turns away from them? We will repay those who turn away from Our messages with the worst kind of punishment, because of their turning away.
The Cattle	158. Are they waiting for anything but for the angels to come to them, or for your Lord to arrive, or for some of your Lord’s signs to come? On the Day when some of your Lord’s signs come, no soul will benefit from its faith unless it had believed previously, or had earned goodness through its faith. Say, “Wait, we too are waiting.”
The Cattle	159. As for those who divided their religion and became sects—you have nothing to do with them. Their case rests with God; then He will inform them of what they used to do.
The Cattle	160. Whoever comes up with a good deed will have ten times its like; and whoever comes up with an evil deed will be repaid only with its equivalent—they will not be wronged.
The Cattle	161. Say, “My Lord has guided me to a straight path, an upright religion, the creed of Abraham the Monotheist, who was not a polytheist.”
The Cattle	162. Say, “My prayer and my worship, and my life and my death, are devoted to God, the Lord of the Worlds.
The Cattle	163. No associate has He. Thus I am commanded, and I am the first of those who submit.
The Cattle	164. Say, “Am I to seek a Lord other than God, when He is the Lord of all things?” No soul gets except what it is due, and no soul bears the burdens of another. Then to your Lord is your return, then He will inform you regarding your disputes.
The Cattle	165. It is He who made you successors on the earth, and raised some of you in ranks over others, in order to test you through what He has given you. Your Lord is Quick in retribution, and He is Forgiving and Merciful.



The Elevated Places	103. Then, after them, We sent Moses with Our miracles to Pharaoh and his establishment, but they denounced them. So consider the end of the evildoers.
The Elevated Places	104. Moses said, “O Pharaoh, I am a messenger from the Lord of the Worlds.”
The Elevated Places	105. “It is only proper that I should not say about God anything other than the truth. I have come to you with clear evidence from your Lord, so let the Children of Israel go with me.”
The Elevated Places	106. He said, “If you brought a miracle, then present it, if you are truthful.”
The Elevated Places	107. So he threw his staff, and it was an apparent serpent.
The Elevated Places	108. And He pulled out his hand, and it was white to the onlookers.
The Elevated Places	109. The notables among Pharaoh’s people said, “This is really a skilled magician.”
The Elevated Places	110. “He wants to evict you from your land, so what do you recommend?”
The Elevated Places	111. They said, “Put him off, and his brother, and send heralds to the cities.”
The Elevated Places	112. “And let them bring you every skillful magician.”
The Elevated Places	113. The magicians came to Pharaoh, and said, “Surely there is a reward for us, if we are the victors.”
The Elevated Places	114. He said, “Yes, and you will be among my favorites.”
The Elevated Places	115. They said, “O Moses! Either you throw, or we are the ones to throw.”
The Elevated Places	116. He said, “You throw!” And when they threw, they beguiled the eyes of the people, and intimidated them, and produced a mighty magic.
The Elevated Places	117. And We inspired Moses: “Throw your staff.” And at once, it swallowed what they were faking.
The Elevated Places	118. So the truth came to pass, and what they were producing came to nothing.
The Elevated Places	119. There they were defeated, and utterly reduced.
The Elevated Places	120. And the magicians fell to their knees.
The Elevated Places	121. They said, “We have believed in the Lord of the Worlds.”
The Elevated Places	122. “The Lord of Moses and Aaron.”
The Elevated Places	123. Pharaoh said, “Did you believe in Him before I have given you permission? This is surely a conspiracy you schemed in the city, in order to expel its people from it. You will surely know.”
The Elevated Places	124. “I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides; then I will crucify you all.”
The Elevated Places	125. They said, “It is to our Lord that we will return.”
The Elevated Places	126. “You are taking vengeance on us only because we have believed in the signs of our Lord when they have come to us.” “Our Lord! Pour out patience upon us, and receive our souls in submission.”
The Elevated Places	127. The chiefs of Pharaoh's people said, “Will you let Moses and his people cause trouble in the land, and forsake you and your gods?” He said, “We will kill their sons, and spare their women. We have absolute power over them.”
The Elevated Places	128. Moses said to his people, “Seek help in God, and be patient. The earth belongs to God. He gives it in inheritance to whomever He wills of His servants, and the future belongs to the righteous.”
The Elevated Places	129. They said, “We were persecuted before you came to us, and after you came to us.” He said, “Perhaps your Lord will destroy your enemy, and make you successors in the land; then He will see how you behave.”
The Elevated Places	130. And We afflicted the people of Pharaoh with barren years, and with shortage of crops, that they may take heed.
The Elevated Places	131. When something good came their way, they said, “This is ours.” And when something bad happened to them, they ascribed the evil omen to Moses and those with him. In fact, their omen is with God, but most of them do not know.
The Elevated Places	132. And they said, “No matter what sign you bring us, to bewitch us with, we will not believe in you.”
The Elevated Places	133. So We let loose upon them the flood, and the locusts, and the lice, and the frogs, and blood—all explicit signs—but they were too arrogant. They were a sinful people.
The Elevated Places	134. Whenever a plague befell them, they would say, “O Moses, pray to your Lord for us, according to the covenant He made with you. If you lift the plague from us, we will believe in you, and let the Children of Israel go with you.”
The Elevated Places	135. But when We lifted the plague from them, for a term they were to fulfill, they broke their promise.
The Elevated Places	136. So We took vengeance on them, and drowned them in the sea—because they rejected Our signs, and paid no heed to them.
The Elevated Places	137. And We made the oppressed people inherit the eastern and western parts of the land, which We had blessed. Thus the fair promise of your Lord to the Children of Israel was fulfilled, because of their endurance. And We destroyed what Pharaoh and his people had built, and what they had harvested.
The Elevated Places	138. And We delivered the Children of Israel across the sea. And when they came upon a people who were devoted to some statues of theirs, they said, “O Moses, make for us a god, as they have gods.” He said, “You are truly an ignorant people.”
The Elevated Places	139. “What these people are concerned with is perdition, and their deeds are based on falsehoods.”
The Elevated Places	140. He said, “Shall I seek for you a god other than God, when He has favored you over all other people?”
The Elevated Places	141. Remember how We saved you from Pharaoh’s people, who subjected you to the worst of sufferings—killing your sons and sparing your women. In that was a tremendous trial from your Lord.
The Elevated Places	142. And We appointed to Moses thirty nights, and completed them with ten; and thus the time appointed by his Lord was forty nights. And Moses said to his brother Aaron: “Take my place among my people, and be upright, and do not follow the way of the mischief-makers.”
The Elevated Places	143. And when Moses came to Our appointment, and his Lord spoke to him, he said, “My Lord, allow me to look and see You.” He said, “You will not see Me, but look at the mountain; if it stays in its place, you will see Me.” But when his Lord manifested Himself to the mountain, He turned it into dust, and Moses fell down unconscious. Then, when he recovered, he said, “Glory be to you, I repent to you, and I am the first of the believers.”
The Elevated Places	144. He said, “O Moses, I have chosen you over all people for My messages and for My Words. So take what I have given you, and be one of the thankful.”
The Elevated Places	145. And We inscribed for him in the Tablets all kinds of enlightenments, and decisive explanation of all things. “Hold fast to them, and exhort your people to adopt the best of them. I will show you the fate of the sinners.”
The Elevated Places	146. I will turn away from My revelations those who behave proudly on earth without justification. Even if they see every sign, they will not believe in it; and if they see the path of rectitude, they will not adopt it for a path; and if they see the path of error, they will adopt it for a path. That is because they denied Our revelations, and paid no attention to them.
The Elevated Places	147. Those who deny Our revelations and the meeting of the Hereafter—their deeds will come to nothing. Will they be repaid except according to what they used to do?
The Elevated Places	148. In his absence, the people of Moses adopted a calf made from their ornaments—a body which lowed. Did they not see that it could not speak to them, nor guide them in any way? They took it for worship. They were in the wrong.
The Elevated Places	149. Then, when they regretted, and realized that they had erred, they said, “Unless our Lord extends His mercy to us, and forgives us, we will be among the losers.”
The Elevated Places	150. And when Moses returned to his people, angry and disappointed, he said, “What an awful thing you did in my absence. Did you forsake the commandments of your Lord so hastily?” And he threw down the tablets; and he took hold of his brother’s head, dragging him towards himself. He said, “Son of my mother, the people have overpowered me, and were about to kill me; so do not allow the enemies to gloat over me, and do not count me among the unjust people.”
The Elevated Places	151. He said, “My Lord, forgive me and my brother, and admit us into Your mercy; for you are the Most Merciful of the merciful.”
The Elevated Places	152. Those who idolized the calf have incurred wrath from their Lord, and humiliation in this life. We thus requite the innovators.
The Elevated Places	153. As for those who commit sins, and then repent afterwards and believe—your Lord, thereafter, is Forgiving and Merciful.
The Elevated Places	154. When the anger abated in Moses, he took up the tablets. In their transcript is guidance and mercy for those in awe of their Lord.
The Elevated Places	155. And Moses chose from his people seventy men for Our appointment. When the tremor shook them, he said, “My Lord, had You willed, You could have destroyed them before, and me too. Will you destroy us for what the fools among us have done? This is but Your test—with it You misguide whomever You will, and guide whomever You will. You are our Protector, so forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are the Best of Forgivers.”
The Elevated Places	156. “And inscribe for us goodness in this world, and in the Hereafter. We have turned to You.” He said, “My punishment—I inflict it upon whomever I will, but My mercy encompasses all things. I will specify it for those who act righteously and practice regular charity, and those who believe in Our signs.”
The Elevated Places	157. Those who follow the Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in the Torah and the Gospel in their possession. He directs them to righteousness, and deters them from evil, and allows for them all good things, and prohibits for them wickedness, and unloads the burdens and the shackles that are upon them. Those who believe in him, and respect him, and support him, and follow the light that came down with him—these are the successful.
The Elevated Places	158. Say, “O people, I am the Messenger of God to you all—He to whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. There is no god but He. He gives life and causes death.” So believe in God and His Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, who believes in God and His words. And follow him, that you may be guided.
The Elevated Places	159. Among the people of Moses is a community that guides by truth, and thereby does justice.
The Elevated Places	160. We divided them into twelve tribal communities. And We inspired Moses, when his people asked him for something to drink: “Strike the rock with your staff.” Whereupon twelve springs gushed from it. Each group recognized its drinking-place. And We shaded them with clouds, and We sent down upon them manna and quails: “Eat of the good things We have provided for you.” They did not wrong Us, but they used to wrong their own selves.
The Elevated Places	161. And it was said to them, “Settle this town, and eat therein whatever you wish, and speak modestly, and enter the gate in humility—We will forgive your sins, and will promote the righteous.”
The Elevated Places	162. But the wicked among them substituted other words for the words given to them; so We sent down upon them a plague from the sky, because of their wrongdoing.
The Elevated Places	163. Ask them about the town by the sea, when they violated the Sabbath. When they observed the Sabbath, their fish would come to them abundantly. But when they violated the Sabbath, their fish would not come to them. Thus We tried them because they disobeyed.
The Elevated Places	164. And when a group of them said, “Why do you counsel a people whom God will annihilate, or punish with a severe punishment?” They said, “As an excuse to your Lord, and so that they may become righteous.”
The Elevated Places	165. Then, when they neglected what they were reminded of, We saved those who prohibited evil, and We seized those who did wrong with a terrible punishment, because of their sinfulness.
The Elevated Places	166. Then, when they rebelled against the commands to refrain, We said to them, “Be despicable apes.”
The Elevated Places	167. Your Lord has announced that, He would send against them, until the Day of Resurrection, those who would inflict terrible suffering upon them. Your Lord is swift in retribution, yet He is Forgiving and Merciful.
The Elevated Places	168. And We scattered them into communities on earth. Some of them righteous, and some of them short of that. And We tested them with fortunes and misfortunes, so that they may return.
The Elevated Places	169. They were succeeded by generations who inherited the Scripture and chose the materials of this world, saying, “We will be forgiven.” And should similar materials come their way, they would again seize them. Did they not make a covenant to uphold the Scripture, and to not say about God except the truth? Did they not study its contents? But the Home of the Hereafter is better for the cautious; will you not understand?
The Elevated Places	170. Those who adhere to the Scripture, and practice prayer—We will not waste the reward of the reformers.
The Elevated Places	171. And when We suspended the mountain over them, as if it was an umbrella, and they thought it would fall on them: “Hold fast to what We have given you, and remember what it contains, so that you may be saved.”
The Elevated Places	172. And when Your Lord summoned the descendants of Adam, and made them testify about themselves. “Am I not your Lord?” They said, “Yes, we testify.” Thus you cannot say on the Day of Resurrection, “We were unaware of this.”
The Elevated Places	173. Nor can you Say, “Our ancestors practiced idolatry before; and we are their descendants who came after them; will you destroy us for what the falsifiers did?”
The Elevated Places	174. We thus elaborate the revelations, so that they may return.
The Elevated Places	175. And relate to them the story of him to whom We delivered Our signs, but he detached himself from them, so Satan went after him, and he became one of the perverts.
The Elevated Places	176. Had We willed, We could have elevated him through them; but he clung to the ground, and followed his desires. His metaphor is that of a dog: if you chase it, it pants; and if you leave it alone, it pants. Such is the metaphor of the people who deny Our signs. So tell the tale, so that they may ponder.
The Elevated Places	177. Evil is the metaphor of the people who reject Our signs and wrong themselves.
The Elevated Places	178. Whomever God guides is the guided one. And whomever He sends astray—these are the losers.

Voluntary Gifts	52. Like the behavior of the people of Pharaoh, and those before them. They rejected the signs of God, so God seized them for their sins. God is Powerful, Severe in punishment.
Voluntary Gifts	53. That is because God would never change a blessing He has bestowed on a people unless they change what is within themselves, and because God is Hearing and Knowing.
Voluntary Gifts	54. Such was the case with the people of Pharaoh, and those before them. They denied the signs of their Lord, so We annihilated them for their wrongs, and We drowned the people of Pharaoh—they were all evildoers.

Jonah	71. And relate to them the story of Noah, when he said to his people, “O my people, if my presence among you and my reminding you of God’s signs is too much for you, then in God I have put my trust. So come to a decision, you and your partners, and do not let the matter perplex you; then carry out your decision on me, and do not hold back.”
Jonah	72. “But if you turn away, I have not asked you for any wage. My wage falls only on God, and I was commanded to be of those who submit.”
Jonah	73. But they denounced him, so We saved him and those with him in the Ark, and We made them successors, and We drowned those who rejected Our signs. So consider the fate of those who were warned.
Jonah	74. Then, after him, We sent messengers to their people. They came to them with the clear proofs, but they would not believe in anything they had already rejected. Thus We set a seal on the hearts of the hostile.
Jonah	75. Then, after them, We sent Moses and Aaron with Our proofs to Pharaoh and his dignitaries. But they acted arrogantly. They were sinful people.
Jonah	76. And when the truth came to them from Us, they said, “This is clearly sorcery.”
Jonah	77. Moses said, “Is this what you say of the truth when it has come to you? Is this sorcery? Sorcerers do not succeed.”
Jonah	78. They said, “Did you come to us to divert us from what we found our ancestors following, and so that you become prominent in the land? We will never believe in you.”
Jonah	79. Pharaoh said, “Bring me every experienced sorcerer.”
Jonah	80. And when the sorcerers came, Moses said to them, “Throw whatever you have to throw.”
Jonah	81. And when they threw, Moses said, “What you produced is sorcery, and God will make it fail. God does not foster the efforts of the corrupt.”
Jonah	82. “And God upholds the truth with His words, even though the sinners detest it.”
Jonah	83. But none believed in Moses except some children of his people, for fear that Pharaoh and his chiefs would persecute them. Pharaoh was high and mighty in the land. He was a tyrant.
Jonah	84. Moses said, “O my people, if you have believed in God, then put your trust in Him, if you have submitted.”
Jonah	85. They said, “In God we have put our trust. Our Lord, do not make us victims of the oppressive people.”
Jonah	86. “And deliver us, by Your mercy, from the disbelieving people.”
Jonah	87. And We inspired Moses and his brother, “Settle your people in Egypt, and make your homes places of worship, and perform the prayer, and give good news to the believers.”
Jonah	88. Moses said, “Our Lord, you have given Pharaoh and his chiefs splendor and wealth in the worldly life. Our Lord, for them to lead away from Your path. Our Lord, obliterate their wealth, and harden their hearts, they will not believe until they see the painful torment.”
Jonah	89. He said, “Your prayer has been answered, so go straight, and do not follow the path of those who do not know.”
Jonah	90. And We delivered the Children of Israel across the sea. Pharaoh and his troops pursued them, defiantly and aggressively. Until, when he was about to drown, he said, “I believe that there is no god except the One the Children of Israel believe in, and I am of those who submit.”
Jonah	91. Now? When you have rebelled before, and been of the mischief-makers?
Jonah	92. Today We will preserve your body, so that you become a sign for those after you. But most people are heedless of Our signs.
Jonah	93. And We settled the Children of Israel in a position of honor, and provided them with good things. They did not differ until knowledge came to them. Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding their differences.
Jonah	94. If you are in doubt about what We revealed to you, ask those who read the Scripture before you. The truth has come to you from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt.
Jonah	95. And do not be of those who deny God’s revelations, lest you become one of the losers.
Jonah	96. Those against whom your Lord’s Word is justified will not believe.
Jonah	97. Even if every sign comes to them—until they see the painful punishment.
Jonah	98. If only there was one town that believed and benefited by its belief. Except for the people of Jonah. When they believed, We removed from them the suffering of disgrace in the worldly life, and We gave them comfort for a while.
Jonah	99. Had your Lord willed, everyone on earth would have believed. Will you compel people to become believers?
Jonah	100. No soul can believe except by God’s leave; and He lays disgrace upon those who refuse to understand.
Jonah	101. Say, “Look at what is in the heavens and the earth.” But signs and warnings are of no avail for people who do not believe.
Jonah	102. Do they expect anything but the likes of the days of those who passed away before them? Say, “Then wait, I will be waiting with you.”
Jonah	103. Then We save Our messengers and those who believe. It is binding on Us to save the believers.
Jonah	104. Say, “O people, if you are in doubt about my religion—I do not serve those you serve apart from God. But I serve God, the one who will terminate your lives. And I was commanded to be of the believers.”
Jonah	105. And dedicate yourself to the true religion—a monotheist—and never be of the polytheists.
Jonah	106. And do not call, apart from God, on what neither benefits you nor harms you. If you do, you are then one of the wrongdoers.
Jonah	107. If God afflicts you with harm, none can remove it except He. And if He wants good for you, none can repel His grace. He makes it reach whomever He wills of His servants. He is the Forgiver, the Merciful.
Jonah	108. Say, “O people, the truth has come to you from your Lord. Whoever accepts guidance is guided for his own soul; and whoever strays only strays to its detriment. I am not a guardian over you.”
Jonah	109. And follow what is revealed to you, and be patient until God issues His judgment, for He is the Best of judges.
Hud	17. Is he who possesses a clear proof from his Lord, recited by a witness from Him, and before it the Book of Moses, a guide and a mercy? These believe in it. But whoever defies it from among the various factions, the Fire is his promise. So have no doubt about it. It is the truth from your Lord, but most people do not believe.
The Thunder	30. Thus We sent you among a community before which other communities have passed away, that you may recite to them what We revealed to you. Yet they deny the Benevolent One. Say, “He is my Lord; there is no god but He; in Him I trust, and to Him is my repentance.”

Abraham	5. We sent Moses with Our signs: “Bring your people out of darkness into light, and remind them of the Days of God.” In that are signs for every patient and thankful person.”
Abraham	6. Moses said to his people, “Remember God’s blessings upon you, as He delivered you from the people of Pharaoh, who inflicted on you terrible suffering, slaughtering your sons while sparing your daughters. In that was a serious trial from your Lord.”
Abraham	7. And when your Lord proclaimed: “If you give thanks, I will grant you increase; but if you are ungrateful, My punishment is severe.”
Abraham	8. And Moses said, “Even if you are ungrateful, together with everyone on earth—God is in no need, Worthy of Praise.”
Abraham	9. Has not the story reached you, of those before you, the people of Noah, and Aad, and Thamood—and those after them? None knows them except God. Their messengers came to them with the clear proofs, but they tried to silence them, and said, “We reject what you are sent with, and we are in serious doubt regarding what you are calling us to.”
Abraham	10. Their messengers said, “Is there any doubt about God, Maker of the heavens and the earth? He calls you to forgive you your sins, and to defer you until a stated term.” They said, “You are only humans like us; you want to turn us away from what our ancestors worshiped; so bring us a clear proof.”
Abraham	11. Their messengers said to them, “We are only humans like you, but God favors whomever He wills from among His servants. We cannot possibly show you any proof, except by leave of God. In God let the faithful put their trust.”
Abraham	12. “And why should we not trust in God, when He has guided us in our ways? We will persevere in the face of your persecution. And upon God the reliant should rely.”
Abraham	13. Those who disbelieved said to their messengers, “We will expel you from our land, unless you return to our religion.” And their Lord inspired them: “We will destroy the wrongdoers.”
Abraham	14. “And We will settle you in the land after them. That is for him who fears My Majesty, and fears My threats.”
Abraham	15. And they prayed for victory, and every stubborn tyrant came to disappointment.
Abraham	16. Beyond him lies Hell, and he will be given to drink putrid water.
Abraham	17. He will guzzle it, but he will not swallow it. Death will come at him from every direction, but he will not die. And beyond this is relentless suffering.
Abraham	18. The likeness of those who disbelieve in their Lord: their works are like ashes, in a fierce wind, on a stormy day. They have no control over anything they have earned. That is the utmost misguidance.
Abraham
Abraham
Abraham	31. Tell My servants who have believed to perform the prayers, and to give from what We have given them, secretly and publicly, before a Day comes in which there is neither trading nor friendship.
Abraham
Abraham	52. This is a proclamation for mankind, that they may be warned thereby, and know that He is One God, and that people of understanding may remember.

The Bee	36. To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship God, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them God guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was.

The Night Journey	2. And We gave Moses the Scripture, and made it a guide for the Children of Israel: Take none for protector other than Me.
The Night Journey	3. The descendants of those We carried with Noah. He was an appreciative servant.
The Night Journey	4. And We conveyed to the Children of Israel in the Scripture: You will commit evil on earth twice, and you will rise to a great height.
The Night Journey	5. When the first of the two promises came true, We sent against you servants of Ours, possessing great might, and they ransacked your homes. It was a promise fulfilled.
The Night Journey	6. Then We gave you back your turn against them, and supplied you with wealth and children, and made you more numerous.
The Night Journey	7. If you work righteousness, you work righteousness for yourselves; and if you commit evil, you do so against yourselves. Then, when the second promise comes true, they will make your faces filled with sorrow, and enter the Temple as they entered it the first time, and utterly destroy all that falls into their power.
The Night Journey	8. Perhaps your Lord will have mercy on you. But if you revert, We will revert. We have made Hell a prison for the disbelievers.
The Night Journey	9. This Quran guides to what is most upright; and it gives good news to the believers who do good deeds, that they will have a great reward.
The Night Journey
The Night Journey	101. We gave Moses nine clear signs—ask the Children of Israel. When he went to them, Pharaoh said to him, “I think that you, Moses, are bewitched.”
The Night Journey	102. He said, “You know that none sent these down except the Lord of the heavens and the earth—eye openers; and I think that you, Pharaoh, are doomed.”
The Night Journey	103. He resolved to scare them off the land, but We drowned him, and those with him, altogether.
The Night Journey	104. After him, We said to the Children of Israel, “Inhabit the land, and when the promise of the Hereafter arrives, We will bring you all together.”
The Night Journey	105. With the truth We sent it down, and with the truth it descended. We sent you only as a bearer of good news and a warner.
The Night Journey	106. A Quran which We unfolded gradually, that you may recite to the people over time. And We revealed it in stages.
The Night Journey	107. Say, “Believe in it, or do not believe.” Those who were given knowledge before it, when it is recited to them, they fall to their chins, prostrating.
The Night Journey	108. And they say, “Glory to our Lord. The promise of our Lord is fulfilled.”
The Night Journey	109. And they fall to their chins, weeping, and it adds to their humility.
The Night Journey	110. Say, “Call Him God, or call Him the Most Merciful. Whichever name you use, to Him belong the Best Names.” And be neither loud in your prayer, nor silent in it, but follow a course in between.
The Night Journey	111. And say, “Praise be to God, who has not begotten a son, nor has He a partner in sovereignty, nor has He an ally out of weakness, and glorify Him constantly.”


The Cave	1. Praise be to God, who revealed the Book to His servant, and allowed in it no distortion.
The Cave	2. Valuable—to warn of severe punishment from Himself; and to deliver good news to the believers who do righteous deeds, that they will have an excellent reward.
The Cave	3. In which they will abide forever.
The Cave	4. And to warn those who say, “God has begotten a son.”
The Cave	5. They have no knowledge of this, nor did their forefathers. Grave is the word that comes out of their mouths. They say nothing but a lie.
The Cave	6. Perhaps you may destroy yourself with grief, chasing after them, if they do not believe in this information.
The Cave	7. We made what is upon the earth an ornament for it, to test them as to which of them is best in conduct.
The Cave	8. And We will turn what is on it into barren waste.
The Cave	9. Did you know that the People of the Cave and the Inscription were of Our wondrous signs?
The Cave	10. When the youths took shelter in the cave, they said, “Our Lord, give us mercy from Yourself, and bless our affair with guidance.”
The Cave	11. Then We sealed their ears in the cave for a number of years.
The Cave	12. Then We awakened them to know which of the two groups could better calculate the length of their stay.
The Cave	13. We relate to you their story in truth. They were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.
The Cave	14. And We strengthened their hearts, when they stood up and said, “Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth; we will not call on any god besides Him, for then we would have spoken an outrage.”
The Cave	15. “These people, our people, have taken to themselves gods other than Him. Why do they not bring a clear proof concerning them? Who, then, does greater wrong than he who invents lies and attributes them to God?”
The Cave	16. “Now that you have withdrawn from them, and from what they worship besides God, take shelter in the cave. And your Lord will unfold His mercy for you, and will set your affair towards ease.”
The Cave	17. You would have seen the sun, when it rose, veering away from their cave towards the right, and when it sets, moving away from them to the left, as they lay in the midst of the cave. That was one of God’s wonders. He whom God guides is truly guided; but he whom He misguides, for him you will find no directing friend.
The Cave	18. You would think them awake, although they were asleep. And We turned them over to the right, and to the left, with their dog stretching its paws across the threshold. Had you looked at them, you would have turned away from them in flight, and been filled with fear of them.
The Cave	19. Even so, We awakened them, so that they may ask one another. A speaker among them said, “How long have you stayed?” They said, “We have stayed a day, or part of a day.” They said, “Your Lord knows best how long you have stayed.” “Send one of you to the city, with this money of yours, and let him see which food is most suitable, and let him bring you some provision thereof. And let him be gentle, and let no one become aware of you.”
The Cave	20. “If they discover you, they will stone you, or force you back into their religion; then you will never be saved.”
The Cave	21. So it was, that We caused them to be discovered, that they would know that the promise of God is true, and that of the Hour there is no doubt. As they were disputing their case among themselves, they said, “Build over them a building.” Their Lord knows best about them. Those who prevailed over their case said, “We will set up over them a place of worship.”
The Cave	22. They will say, “Three, and their fourth being their dog.” And they will say, “Five, and their sixth being their dog,” guessing at the unknown. And they will say, “Seven, and their eighth being their dog.” Say, “My Lord knows best their number.” None knows them except a few. So do not argue concerning them except with an obvious argument, and do not consult any of them about them.
The Cave	23. And never say about anything, “I will do that tomorrow.”
The Cave	24. Without saying, “If God wills.” And remember your Lord if you forget, and say, “Perhaps my Lord will guide me to nearer than this in integrity.”
The Cave	25. And they stayed in their cave for three hundred years, adding nine.
The Cave	26. Say, “God knows best how long they stayed.” His is the mystery of the heavens and the earth. By Him you see and hear. They have no guardian apart from Him, and He shares His Sovereignty with no one.
The Cave	27. And recite what was revealed to you from the Book of your Lord. There is no changing His words, and you will find no refuge except in Him.
The Cave	28. And content yourself with those who pray to their Lord morning and evening, desiring His Presence. And do not turn your eyes away from them, desiring the glitter of this world. And do not obey him whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance—so he follows his own desires—and his priorities are confused.
The Cave	29. And say, “The truth is from your Lord. Whoever wills—let him believe. And whoever wills—let him disbelieve”. We have prepared for the unjust a Fire, whose curtains will hem them in. And when they cry for relief, they will be relieved with water like molten brass, which scalds the faces. What a miserable drink, and what a terrible place.
The Cave	30. As for those who believe and lead a righteous life—We will not waste the reward of those who work righteousness.
The Cave	31. These will have the Gardens of Eden, beneath which rivers flow. Reclining on comfortable furnishings, they will be adorned with bracelets of gold, and will wear green garments of silk and brocade. What a wonderful reward, and what an excellent resting-place.
The Cave
The Cave	60. Recall when Moses said to his servant, “I will not give up until I reach the junction of the two rivers, even if it takes me years.”
The Cave	61. Then, when they reached the junction between them, they forgot about their fish. It found its way into the river, slipping away.
The Cave	62. When they went further, he said to his servant, “Bring us our lunch; we were exposed in our travel to much fatigue.”
The Cave	63. He said, “Do you remember when we rested by the rock? I forgot about the fish. It was only the devil who made me forget it. And so it found its way to the river, amazingly.”
The Cave	64. He said, “This is what we were seeking.” And so they turned back retracing their steps.
The Cave	65. Then they came upon a servant of Ours, whom We had blessed with mercy from Us, and had taught him knowledge from Our Own.
The Cave	66. Moses said to him, “May I follow you, so that you may teach me some of the guidance you were taught?”
The Cave	67. He said, “You will not be able to endure with me.
The Cave	68. And how will you endure what you have no knowledge of?”
The Cave	69. He said, “You will find me, God willing, patient; and I will not disobey you in any order of yours.”
The Cave	70. He said, “If you follow me, do not ask me about anything, until I myself make mention of it to you.”
The Cave	71. So they set out. Until, when they had boarded the boat, he holed it. He said, “Did you hole it, to drown its passengers? You have done something awful.”
The Cave	72. He said, “Did I not tell you that you will not be able to endure with me?”
The Cave	73. He said, “Do not rebuke me for forgetting, and do not make my course difficult for me.”
The Cave	74. Then they set out. Until, when they encountered a boy, he killed him. He said, “Did you kill a pure soul, who killed no one? You have done something terrible.”
The Cave	75. He said, “Did I not tell you that you will not be able to endure with me?”
The Cave	76. He said, “If I ask you about anything after this, then do not keep company with me. You have received excuses from me.”
The Cave	77. So they set out. Until, when they reached the people of a town, they asked them for food, but they refused to offer them hospitality. There they found a wall about to collapse, and he repaired it. He said, “If you wanted, you could have obtained a payment for it.”
The Cave	78. He said, “This is the parting between you and me. I will tell you the interpretation of what you were unable to endure.
The Cave	79. As for the boat, it belonged to paupers working at sea. I wanted to damage it because there was a king coming after them seizing every boat by force.
The Cave	80. As for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared he would overwhelm them with oppression and disbelief.
The Cave	81. So we wanted their Lord to replace him with someone better in purity, and closer to mercy.
The Cave	82. And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphaned boys in the city. Beneath it was a treasure that belonged to them. Their father was a righteous man. Your Lord wanted them to reach their maturity, and then extract their treasure—as a mercy from your Lord. I did not do it of my own accord. This is the interpretation of what you were unable to endure.”
The Cave	83. And they ask you about Zul-Qarnain. Say, “I will tell you something about him.”
The Cave	84. We established him on earth, and gave him all kinds of means.
The Cave	85. He pursued a certain course.
The Cave	86. Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it setting in a murky spring, and found a people in its vicinity. We said, “O Zul-Qarnain, you may either inflict a penalty, or else treat them kindly.”
The Cave	87. He said, “As for him who does wrong, we will penalize him, then he will be returned to his Lord, and He will punish him with an unheard-of torment.
The Cave	88. “But as for him who believes and acts righteously, he will have the finest reward, and We will speak to him of Our command with ease.”
The Cave	89. Then he pursued a course.
The Cave	90. Until, when he reached the rising of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had provided no shelter from it.
The Cave	91. And so it was. We had full knowledge of what he had.
The Cave	92. Then he pursued a course.
The Cave	93. Until, when he reached the point separating the two barriers, he found beside them a people who could barely understand what is said.
The Cave	94. They said, “O Zul-Qarnain, the Gog and Magog are spreading chaos in the land. Can we pay you, to build between us and them a wall?”
The Cave	95. He said, “What my Lord has empowered me with is better. But assist me with strength, and I will build between you and them a dam.”
The Cave	96. “Bring me blocks of iron.” So that, when he had leveled up between the two cliffs, he said, “Blow.” And having turned it into a fire, he said, “Bring me tar to pour over it.”
The Cave	97. So they were unable to climb it, and they could not penetrate it.
The Cave	98. He said, “This is a mercy from my Lord. But when the promise of my Lord comes true, He will turn it into rubble, and the promise of my Lord is always true.”
The Cave	99. On that Day, We will leave them surging upon one another. And the Trumpet will be blown, and We will gather them together.
The Cave	100. On that Day, We will present the disbelievers to Hell, all displayed.
The Cave	101. Those whose eyes were screened to My message, and were unable to hear.
The Cave	102. Do those who disbelieve think that they can take My servants for masters instead of Me? We have prepared Hell for the hospitality of the faithless.
The Cave	103. Say, “Shall We inform you of the greatest losers in their works?”
The Cave	104. “Those whose efforts in this world are misguided, while they assume that they are doing well.”
The Cave	105. It is they who rejected the communications of their Lord, and the encounter with Him. So their works are in vain. And on the Day of Resurrection, We will consider them of no weight.
The Cave	106. That is their requital—Hell—on account of their disbelief, and their taking My revelations and My messengers in mockery.
The Cave	107. As for those who believe and do righteous deeds, they will have the Gardens of Paradise for hospitality.
The Cave	108. Abiding therein forever, without desiring any change therefrom.
The Cave	109. Say, “If the ocean were ink for the words of my Lord, the ocean would run out, before the words of my Lord run out,” even if We were to bring the like of it in addition to it.
The Cave	110. Say, “I am only a human being like you, being inspired that your god is One God. Whoever hopes to meet his Lord, let him work righteousness, and never associate anyone with the service of his Lord.”






Mary	1. Kaf, Ha, Ya, Ayn, Saad.
Mary	2. A mention of the mercy of your Lord towards His servant Zechariah.
Mary	3. When he called on his Lord, a call in seclusion.
Mary	4. He said, “My Lord, my bones have become feeble, and my hair is aflame with gray, and never, Lord, have I been disappointed in my prayer to you.
Mary	5. “And I fear for my dependents after me, and my wife is barren. So grant me, from Yourself, an heir.
Mary	6. To inherit me, and inherit from the House of Jacob, and make him, my Lord, pleasing.”
Mary	7. “O Zechariah, We give you good news of a son, whose name is John, a name We have never given before.”
Mary	8. He said, “My Lord, how can I have a son, when my wife is barren, and I have become decrepit with old age?”
Mary	9. He said, “It will be so, your Lord says, ‘it is easy for me, and I created you before, when you were nothing.’”
Mary	10. He said, “My Lord, give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you will not speak to the people for three nights straight.”
Mary	11. And he came out to his people, from the sanctuary, and signaled to them to praise morning and evening.
Mary	12. “O John, hold on to the Scripture firmly,” and We gave him wisdom in his youth.
Mary	13. And tenderness from Us, and innocence. He was devout.
Mary	14. And kind to his parents; and he was not a disobedient tyrant.
Mary	15. And peace be upon him the day he was born, and the day he dies, and the Day he is raised alive.
Mary	16. And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location.
Mary	17. She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human.
Mary	18. She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.”
Mary	19. He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.”
Mary	20. She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?”
Mary	21. He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“
Mary	22. So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place.
Mary	23. The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.”
Mary	24. Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you.
Mary	25. And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.”
Mary	26. “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“
Mary	27. Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible.
Mary	28. O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.”
Mary	29. So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?”
Mary	30. He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet.
Mary	31. And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live.
Mary	32. And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel.
Mary	33. So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.”
Mary	34. That is Jesus son of Mary—the Word of truth about which they doubt.
Mary	35. It is not for God to have a child—glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes.
Mary	36. “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
Mary	37. But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day.
Mary	38. Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost.
Mary	39. And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe.
Mary	40. It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned.
Mary	41. And mention in the Scripture Abraham. He was a man of truth, a prophet.
Mary	42. He said to his father, “O my father, why do you worship what can neither hear, nor see, nor benefit you in any way?
Mary	43. O my father, there has come to me knowledge that never came to you. So follow me, and I will guide you along a straight way.
Mary	44. O my father, do not worship the devil. The devil is disobedient to the Most Gracious.
Mary	45. O my father, I fear that a punishment from the Most Gracious will afflict you, and you become an ally of the devil.”
Mary	46. He said, “Are you renouncing my gods, O Abraham? If you do not desist, I will stone you. So leave me alone for a while.”
Mary	47. He said, “Peace be upon you. I will ask my Lord to forgive you; He has been Kind to me.
Mary	48. And I will withdraw from you, and from what you pray to instead of God. And I will pray to my Lord, and I hope I will not be disappointed in my prayer to my Lord.”
Mary	49. When he withdrew from them, and from what they worship besides God, We granted him Isaac and Jacob. And each We made a prophet.
Mary	50. And We gave them freely of Our mercy, and gave them a noble reputation of truth.
Mary	51. And mention in the Scripture Moses. He was dedicated. He was a messenger and a prophet.
Mary	52. And We called him from the right side of the Mount, and brought him near in communion.
Mary	53. And We granted him, out of Our mercy, his brother Aaron, a prophet.
Mary	54. And mention in the Scripture Ishmael. He was true to his promise, and was a messenger, a prophet.
Mary	55. And he used to enjoin on his people prayer and charity, and he was pleasing to his Lord.
Mary	56. And mention in the Scripture Enoch. He was a man of truth, a prophet.
Mary	57. And We raised him to a high position.
Mary	58. These are some of the prophets God has blessed, from the descendants of Adam, and from those We carried with Noah, and from the descendants of Abraham and Israel, and from those We guided and selected. Whenever the revelations of the Most Gracious are recited to them, they would fall down, prostrating and weeping.
Mary	59. But they were succeeded by generations who lost the prayers and followed their appetites. They will meet perdition.
Mary	60. Except for those who repent, and believe, and act righteously. These will enter Paradise, and will not be wronged in the least.
Mary	61. The Gardens of Eden, promised by the Most Merciful to His servants in the Unseen. His promise will certainly come true.
Mary	62. They will hear no nonsense therein, but only peace. And they will have their provision therein, morning and evening.
Mary	63. Such is Paradise which We will give as inheritance to those of Our servants who are devout.
Mary	64. “We do not descend except by the command of your Lord. His is what is before us, and what is behind us, and what is between them. Your Lord is never forgetful.”
Mary	65. Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them. So worship Him, and persevere in His service. Do you know of anyone equal to Him?
Mary	66. And the human being says, “When I am dead, will I be brought back alive?”
Mary	67. Does the human being not remember that We created him before, when he was nothing?
Mary	68. By your Lord, We will round them up, and the devils, then We will bring them around Hell, on their knees.
Mary	69. Then, out of every sect, We will snatch those most defiant to the Most Merciful.
Mary	70. We are fully aware of those most deserving to scorch in it.
Mary	71. There is not one of you but will go down to it. This has been an unavoidable decree of your Lord.
Mary	72. Then We will rescue those who were devout, and leave the wrongdoers in it, on their knees.
Mary	73. When Our clear revelations are recited to them, those who disbelieve say to those who believe, “Which of the two parties is better in position, and superior in influence?”
Mary	74. How many a generation have We destroyed before them, who surpassed them in riches and splendor?
Mary	75. Say, “Whoever is in error, the Most Merciful will lead him on.” Until, when they see what they were promised—either the punishment, or the Hour. Then they will know who was in worse position and weaker in forces.
Mary	76. God increases in guidance those who accept guidance. And the things that endure—the righteous deeds—have the best reward with your Lord, and the best outcome.
Mary	77. Have you seen him who denied Our revelations, and said, “I will be given wealth and children”?
Mary	78. Did he look into the future, or did he receive a promise from the Most Merciful?
Mary	79. No indeed! We will write what he says, and will keep extending the agony for him.
Mary	80. Then We will inherit from him what he speaks of, and he will come to Us alone.
Mary	81. And they took, besides God, other gods, to be for them a source of strength.
Mary	82. By no means! They will reject their worship of them, and become opponents to them.
Mary	83. Have you not considered how We dispatch the devils against the disbelievers, exciting them with incitement?
Mary	84. So do not hurry against them. We are counting for them a countdown.
Mary	85. On the Day when We will gather the righteous to the Most Merciful, as guests.
Mary	86. And herd the sinners into hell, like animals to water.
Mary	87. They will have no power of intercession, except for someone who has an agreement with the Most Merciful.
Mary	88. And they say, “The Most Merciful has begotten a son.”
Mary	89. You have come up with something monstrous.
Mary	90. At which the heavens almost rupture, and the earth splits, and the mountains fall and crumble.
Mary	91. Because they attribute a son to the Most Merciful.
Mary	92. It is not fitting for the Most Merciful to have a son.
Mary	93. There is none in the heavens and the earth but will come to the Most Merciful as a servant.
Mary	94. He has enumerated them, and counted them one by one.
Mary	95. And each one of them will come to Him on the Day of Resurrection alone.
Mary	96. Those who believe and do righteous deeds, the Most Merciful will give them love.
Mary	97. We made it easy in your tongue, in order to deliver good news to the righteous, and to warn with it a hostile people.
Mary	98. How many a generation have We destroyed before them? Can you feel a single one of them, or hear from them the slightest whisper?




Ta Ha	9. Has the story of Moses reached you?
Ta Ha	10. When he saw a fire, he said to his family, “Stay; I have noticed a fire; Perhaps I can bring you a torch therefrom, or find some guidance by the fire.”
Ta Ha	11. Then, when he reached it, he was called, “O Moses.
Ta Ha	12. I—I am your Lord. Take off your shoes. You are in the sacred valley of Tuwa.
Ta Ha	13. I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed.
Ta Ha	14. I—I am God. There is no God but I. So serve Me, and practice the prayer for My remembrance.
Ta Ha	15. The Hour is coming—but I keep it almost hidden—so that each soul will be paid for what it endeavors.
Ta Ha	16. And do not let him who denies it and follows his desire turn you away from it, lest you fall.
Ta Ha	17. And what is that in your right-hand, O Moses?”
Ta Ha	18. He said, “This is my staff. I lean on it, and herd my sheep with it, and I have other uses for it.”
Ta Ha	19. He said, “Throw it, O Moses.”
Ta Ha	20. So he threw it—thereupon it became a moving serpent.
Ta Ha	21. He said, “Take hold of it, and do not fear. We will restore it to its original condition.
Ta Ha	22. And press your hand to your side; it will come out white, without a blemish—another sign.
Ta Ha	23. That We may show you some of Our greatest signs.
Ta Ha	24. Go to Pharaoh; He has transgressed.”
Ta Ha	25. He said, “My Lord, put my heart at peace for me.
Ta Ha	26. And ease my task for me.
Ta Ha	27. And untie the knot from my tongue.
Ta Ha	28. So they can understand my speech.
Ta Ha	29. And appoint an assistant for me, from my family.
Ta Ha	30. Aaron, my brother.
Ta Ha	31. Strengthen me with him.
Ta Ha	32. And have him share in my mission.
Ta Ha	33. That we may glorify You much.
Ta Ha	34. And remember You much.
Ta Ha	35. You are always watching over us.”
Ta Ha	36. He said, “You are granted your request, O Moses.
Ta Ha	37. We had favored you another time.
Ta Ha	38. When We inspired your mother with the inspiration.
Ta Ha	39. `Put him in the chest; then cast him into the river. The river will wash him to shore, where an enemy of Mine and an enemy of his will pick him up. And I have bestowed upon you love from Me, so that you may be reared before My eye.
Ta Ha	40. When your sister walked along, and said, ‘Shall I tell you about someone who will take care of him?' So We returned you to your mother, that she may be comforted, and not sorrow. And you killed a person, but We saved you from stress; and We tested you thoroughly. And you stayed years among the people of Median. Then you came back, as ordained, O Moses.
Ta Ha	41. And I made you for Myself.
Ta Ha	42. Go, you and your brother, with My signs, and do not neglect My remembrance.
Ta Ha	43. Go to Pharaoh. He has tyrannized.
Ta Ha	44. But speak to him nicely. Perhaps he will remember, or have some fear.”
Ta Ha	45. They said, “Lord, we fear he may persecute us, or become violent.”
Ta Ha	46. He said, “Do not fear, I am with you, I hear and I see.
Ta Ha	47. Approach him and say, `We are the messengers of your Lord; so let the Children of Israel go with us, and do not torment them. We bring you a sign from your Lord, and peace be upon him who follows guidance.
Ta Ha	48. It was revealed to us that the punishment falls upon him who disbelieves and turns away.'“
Ta Ha	49. He said, “Who is your Lord, O Moses.”
Ta Ha	50. He said, “Our Lord is He who gave everything its existence, then guided it.”
Ta Ha	51. He said, “What about the first generations?”
Ta Ha	52. He said, “Knowledge thereof is with my Lord, in a Book. My Lord never errs, nor does He forget.”
Ta Ha	53. He who made the earth a habitat for you; and traced in it routes for you; and sent down water from the sky, with which We produce pairs of diverse plants.
Ta Ha	54. Eat and pasture your livestock. In that are signs for those with understanding.
Ta Ha	55. From it We created you, and into it We will return you, and from it We will bring you out another time.
Ta Ha	56. We showed him Our signs, all of them, but he denied and refused.
Ta Ha	57. He said, “Did you come to us to drive us out of our land with your magic, O Moses?
Ta Ha	58. We will produce for you magic like it; so make an appointment between us and you, which we will not miss—neither us, nor you—in a central place.”
Ta Ha	59. He said, “Your appointment is the day of the festival, so let the people be gathered together at mid-morning.”
Ta Ha	60. Pharaoh turned away, put together his plan, and then came back.
Ta Ha	61. Moses said to them, “Woe to you. Do not fabricate lies against God, or He will destroy you with a punishment. He who invents lies will fail.”
Ta Ha	62. They disagreed among themselves over their affair, and conferred secretly.
Ta Ha	63. They said, “These two are magicians who want to drive you out of your land with their magic, and to abolish your exemplary way of life.
Ta Ha	64. So settle your plan, and come as one front. Today, whoever gains the upper hand will succeed.”
Ta Ha	65. They said, “O Moses, either you throw, or we will be the first to throw.”
Ta Ha	66. He said, “You throw.” And suddenly, their ropes and sticks appeared to him, because of their magic, to be crawling swiftly.
Ta Ha	67. So Moses felt apprehensive within himself.
Ta Ha	68. We said, “Do not be afraid, you are the uppermost.
Ta Ha	69. Now throw down what is in your right hand—it will swallow what they have crafted. What they have crafted is only a magician’s trickery. But the magician will not succeed, no matter what he does.”
Ta Ha	70. And the magicians fell down prostrate. They said, “We have believed in the Lord of Aaron and Moses.”
Ta Ha	71. He said, “Did you believe in him before I have given you permission? He must be your chief, who has taught you magic. I will cut off your hands and your feet on alternate sides, and I will crucify you on the trunks of the palm-trees. Then you will know which of us is more severe in punishment, and more lasting.”
Ta Ha	72. They said, “We will not prefer you to the proofs that have come to us, and Him who created us. So issue whatever judgment you wish to issue. You can only rule in this lowly life.
Ta Ha	73. We have believed in our Lord, so that He may forgive us our sins, and the magic you have compelled us to practice. God is Better, and more Lasting.”
Ta Ha	74. Whoever comes to his Lord guilty, for him is Hell, where he neither dies nor lives.
Ta Ha	75. But whoever comes to Him a believer, having worked righteousness—these will have the highest ranks.
Ta Ha	76. The Gardens of Perpetuity, beneath which rivers flow, dwelling therein forever. That is the reward for him who purifies himself.
Ta Ha	77. And We inspired Moses: “Travel by night with My servants, and strike for them a dry path across the sea, not fearing being overtaken, nor worrying.”
Ta Ha	78. Pharaoh pursued them with his troops, but the sea overwhelmed them, and completely engulfed them.
Ta Ha	79. Pharaoh misled his people, and did not guide them.
Ta Ha	80. O Children of Israel! We have delivered you from your enemy, and promised you by the right side of the Mount, and sent down to you manna and quails.
Ta Ha	81. Eat of the good things We have provided for you, but do not be excessive therein, lest My wrath descends upon you. He upon whom My wrath descends has fallen.
Ta Ha	82. And I am Forgiving towards him who repents, believes, acts righteously, and then remains guided.
Ta Ha	83. “And what made you rush ahead of your people, O Moses?”
Ta Ha	84. He said, “They are following in my footsteps; and I hurried on to You, my Lord, that you may be pleased.”
Ta Ha	85. He said, “We have tested your people in your absence, and the Samarian misled them.”
Ta Ha	86. So Moses returned to his people, angry and disappointed. He said, “O my people, did your Lord not promise you a good promise? Was the time too long for you? Or did you want wrath from your Lord to descend upon you, so you broke your promise to me?”
Ta Ha	87. They said, “We did not break our promise to you by our choice, but we were made to carry loads of the people’s ornaments, and we cast them in. That was what the Samarian suggested.”
Ta Ha	88. So he produced for them a calf—a mere body which lowed. And they said, “This is your god, and the god of Moses, but he has forgotten.”
Ta Ha	89. Did they not see that it cannot return a word to them, and has no power to harm them or benefit them?
Ta Ha	90. Aaron had said to them before, “O my people, you are being tested by this. And your Lord is the Merciful, so follow me, and obey my command.”
Ta Ha	91. They said, “We will not give up our devotion to it, until Moses returns to us.”
Ta Ha	92. He said, “O Aaron, what prevented you, when you saw them going astray.
Ta Ha	93. From following me? Did you disobey my command?”
Ta Ha	94. He said, “Son of my mother, do not seize me by my beard or my head. I feared you would say, `You have caused division among the Children of Israel, and did not regard my word.'“
Ta Ha	95. He said, “What do you have to say, O Samarian?”
Ta Ha	96. He said, “I saw what they did not see, so I grasped a handful from the Messenger’s traces, and I flung it away. Thus my soul prompted me.”
Ta Ha	97. He said, “Begone! Your lot in this life is to say, ‘No contact.’ And you have an appointment that you will not miss. Now look at your god that you remained devoted to—we will burn it up, and then blow it away into the sea, as powder.”
Ta Ha	98. Surely your god is God, the One besides whom there is no other god. He comprehends everything in knowledge.
Ta Ha	99. Thus We narrate to you reports of times gone by; and We have given you a message from Our Presence.
Ta Ha	100. Whoever turns away from it will carry on the Day of Resurrection a burden.
Ta Ha	101. Abiding therein forever. And wretched is their burden on the Day of Resurrection.
Ta Ha	102. On the Day when the Trumpet is blown—We will gather the sinners on that Day, blue.
Ta Ha	103. Murmuring among themselves: “You have lingered only for ten.”
Ta Ha	104. We are fully aware of what they say, when the most exemplary of them in conduct will say, “You have lingered only a day.”
Ta Ha	105. And they ask you about the mountains. Say, “My Lord will crumble them utterly.”
Ta Ha	106. And leave them desolate waste.
Ta Ha	107. You will see in them neither crookedness, nor deviation.”
Ta Ha	108. On that Day, they will follow the caller, without any deviation. Voices will be hushed before the Merciful, and you will hear nothing but murmur.
Ta Ha	109. On that Day, intercession will not avail, except for him permitted by the Merciful, and whose words He has approved.
Ta Ha	110. He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they cannot comprehend Him in their knowledge.
Ta Ha	111. Faces will be humbled before the Living, the Eternal. Whoever carries injustice will despair.
Ta Ha	112. But whoever has done righteous deeds, while being a believer—will fear neither injustice, nor grievance.
Ta Ha	113. Thus We have revealed it an Arabic Quran, and We have diversified the warnings in it, that perhaps they would become righteous, or it may produce a lesson for them.
Ta Ha	114. Exalted is God, the True King. Do not be hasty with the Quran before its inspiration to you is concluded, and say, “My Lord, increase me in knowledge.”





The Pilgrimage	42. If they deny you—before them the people of Noah, and Aad, and Thamood also denied.
The Pilgrimage	43. And the people of Abraham, and the people of Lot.
The Pilgrimage	44. And the inhabitants of Median. And Moses was denied. Then I reprieved those who disbelieved, but then I seized them. So how was My rejection?

The Believers	23. We sent Noah to his people. He said, “O my people, worship God, you have no deity other than Him. Will you not take heed?”
The Believers	24. But the notables of his people, who disbelieved, said, “This is nothing but a human like you, who wants to gain superiority over you. Had God willed, He would have sent down angels. We never heard of this from our forefathers of old.
The Believers	25. He is nothing but a man possessed. Just ignore him for a while.”
The Believers	26. He said, “My Lord, help me, for they have rejected me.”
The Believers	27. So We inspired him: “Build the Ark under Our observation and by Our inspiration. And when Our decree comes to pass, and the oven boils over, load into it two pairs of every kind, together with your family, except those of them against whom the word has already been pronounced. And do not speak to me concerning those who did wrong; for they are to be drowned.”
The Believers	28. Then, when you and those with you are settled in the Ark, say, “Praise be to God, who has saved us from the wrongdoing people.”
The Believers	29. And say, “My Lord, land me with a blessed landing, as you are the best of transporters.”
The Believers	30. Surely in that are signs. We are always testing.
The Believers	31. Then, after them, We established another generation.
The Believers	32. And We sent among them a messenger from themselves: “Serve God. You have no god other than Him. Will you not be cautious?”
The Believers	33. But the dignitaries of his people, those who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter, and We had indulged them in the present life, said, “This is nothing but a human like you; he eats what you eat, and he drinks what you drink.
The Believers	34. If you obey a human being like yourselves, then you will be losers.
The Believers	35. Does he promise you that when you have died and become dust and bones, you will be brought out?
The Believers	36. Farfetched, farfetched is what you are promised.
The Believers	37. There is nothing but our life in this world. We die, and we live, and we are not resurrected.
The Believers	38. He is nothing but a man, making up lies about God. We have no faith in him.”
The Believers	39. He said, “My Lord, help me, for they have rejected me.”
The Believers	40. He said, “Soon they will be filled with regret.”
The Believers	41. Then the Blast struck them, justifiably, and We turned them into scum. So away with the wicked people.
The Believers	42. Then, after them, We raised other generations.
The Believers	43. No nation can advance its time, nor can they postpone it.
The Believers	44. Then We sent Our messengers in succession. Every time a messenger came to his community, they called him a liar. So We made them follow one another, and made them history. So away with a people who do not believe.
The Believers	45. Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron, with Our signs and a clear authority.
The Believers	46. To Pharaoh and his nobles, but they turned arrogant. They were oppressive people.
The Believers	47. They said, “Are we to believe in two mortals like us, and their people are our slaves?”
The Believers	48. So they called them liars, and thus were among those destroyed.
The Believers	49. And We gave Moses the Scripture, that they may be guided.
The Believers	50. And We made Mary’s son and his mother a sign, and We sheltered them on high ground with security and flowing springs.
The Believers	51. O messengers, eat of the good things, and act with integrity. I am aware of what you do.
The Believers	52. This nation of yours is one nation, and I am your Lord, so fear Me.






The Discrimination	35. We gave Moses the Scripture, and appointed his brother Aaron as his assistant.
The Discrimination	36. We said, “Go to the people who rejected Our signs,” and We destroyed them completely.
The Discrimination	37. And the people of Noah: when they rejected the messengers, We drowned them, and made them a lesson for mankind. We have prepared for the wrongdoers a painful retribution.
The Discrimination	38. And Aad, and Thamood, and the inhabitants of Arras, and many generations in between.
The Discrimination	39. To each We presented the parables; and each We devastated utterly.
The Discrimination	40. And they came upon the city that was drenched by the terrible rain. Did they not see it? But they do not expect resurrection.

The Poets	11. The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear?”
The Poets	12. He said, “My Lord, I fear they will reject me.
The Poets	13. And I become stressed, and my tongue is not fluent, so send Aaron too.
The Poets	14. And they have a charge against me, so I fear they will kill me.”
The Poets	15. He said, “No. Go, both of you, with Our proofs. We will be with you, listening.
The Poets	16. Go to Pharaoh, and say, ‘We are the Messengers of the Lord of the Worlds.
The Poets	17. Let the Children of Israel go with us.'“
The Poets	18. He said, “Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you stayed among us for many of your years?
The Poets	19. And you committed that deed you committed, and you were ungrateful.”
The Poets	20. He said, “I did it then, when I was of those astray.
The Poets	21. And I fled from you when I feared you; but my Lord gave me wisdom, and made me one of the messengers.
The Poets	22. Is that the favor you taunt me with, although you have enslaved the Children of Israel?”
The Poets	23. Pharaoh said, “And what is the Lord of the Worlds?”
The Poets	24. He said, “The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them, if you are aware.”
The Poets	25. He said to those around him, “Do you not hear?”
The Poets	26. He said, “Your Lord and the Lord of your ancestors of old.”
The Poets	27. He said, “This messenger of yours, who is sent to you, is crazy.”
The Poets	28. He said, “Lord of the East and the West, and everything between them, if you understand.”
The Poets	29. He said, “If you accept any god other than me, I will make you a prisoner.”
The Poets	30. He said, “What if I bring you something convincing?”
The Poets	31. He said, “Bring it, if you are being truthful.”
The Poets	32. So he cast his staff; and it was a serpent, plain to see.
The Poets	33. And he pulled his hand; and it was white, for all to see.
The Poets	34. He said to the dignitaries around him, “This is a skilled magician.
The Poets	35. He intends to drive you out of your land with his magic, so what do you recommend?”
The Poets	36. They said, “Delay him and his brother, and send recruiters to the cities.
The Poets	37. To bring you every experienced magician.”
The Poets	38. So the magicians were gathered for the appointment on a specified day.
The Poets	39. And it was said to the people, “Are you all gathered?
The Poets	40. That we may follow the magicians, if they are the winners.”
The Poets	41. When the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, “Is there a reward for us, if we are the winners?”
The Poets	42. He said, “Yes, and you will be among those favored.”
The Poets	43. Moses said to them, “Present what you intend to present.”
The Poets	44. So they threw their ropes and their sticks, and said, “By the majesty of Pharaoh, we will be the winners.”
The Poets	45. Then Moses threw his staff, and behold, it began swallowing their trickery.
The Poets	46. And the magicians fell down prostrating.
The Poets	47. They said, “We have believed in the Lord of the Worlds.
The Poets	48. The Lord of Moses and Aaron.”
The Poets	49. He said, “Did you believe in Him before I have given you permission? He must be your chief, who taught you magic. You will soon know. I will cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you all.”
The Poets	50. They said, “No problem. To our Lord we will return.
The Poets	51. We are eager for our Lord to forgive us our sins, since we are the first of the believers.”
The Poets	52. And We inspired Moses: “Travel with My servants by night. You will be followed.”
The Poets	53. Pharaoh sent heralds to the cities.
The Poets	54. “These are a small gang.
The Poets	55. And they are enraging us.
The Poets	56. But we are a vigilant multitude.”
The Poets	57. So We drove them out of gardens and springs.
The Poets	58. And treasures and noble dwellings.
The Poets	59. So it was. And We made the Children of Israel inherit them.
The Poets	60. And they pursued them at sunrise.
The Poets	61. When the two groups sighted each other, the followers of Moses said, “We are being overtaken.”
The Poets	62. He said, “No; my Lord is with me, He will guide me.”
The Poets	63. We inspired Moses: “Strike the sea with your staff.” Whereupon it parted, and each part was like a huge hill.
The Poets	64. And there We brought the others near.
The Poets	65. And We saved Moses and those with him, all together.
The Poets	66. Then We drowned the others.
The Poets	67. In that there is a sign, but most of them are not believers.
The Poets	68. Surely, your Lord is the Almighty, the Merciful.

The Naml	7. When Moses said to his family, “I have glimpsed a fire. I will bring you some news from it; or bring you a firebrand, that you may warm yourselves.”
The Naml	8. Then, when he reached it, he was called: “Blessed is He who is within the fire, and He who is around it, and glorified be God, Lord of the Worlds.
The Naml	9. O Moses, it is I, God, the Almighty, the Wise.
The Naml	10. Throw down your staff.” But when he saw it quivering, as though it were a demon, he turned around not looking back. “O Moses, do not fear; the messengers do not fear in My presence.
The Naml	11. But whoever has done wrong, and then substituted goodness in place of evil. I am Forgiving and Merciful.
The Naml	12. Put your hand inside your pocket, and it will come out white, without blemish—among nine miracles to Pharaoh and his people, for they are immoral people.”
The Naml	13. Yet when Our enlightening signs came to them, they said, “This is obvious witchcraft.”
The Naml	14. And they rejected them, although their souls were certain of them, out of wickedness and pride. So see how the outcome was for the mischief-makers.
The Naml	15. And We gave David and Solomon knowledge. They said, “Praise God, who has favored us over many of His believing servants.”
The Naml	16. And Solomon succeeded David. He said, “O people, we were taught the language of birds, and we were given from everything. This is indeed a real blessing.”
The Naml	17. To the service of Solomon were mobilized his troops of sprites, and men, and birds—all held in strict order.
The Naml	18. Until, when they came upon the Valley of Ants, an ant said, “O ants! Go into your nests, lest Solomon and his troops crush you without noticing.”
The Naml	19. He smiled and laughed at her words, and said, “My Lord, direct me to be thankful for the blessings you have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and to do good works that please You. And admit me, by Your grace, into the company of Your virtuous servants.”
The Naml	20. Then he inspected the birds, and said, “Why do I not see the hoopoe? Or is he among the absentees?
The Naml	21. I will punish him most severely, or slay him, unless he gives me a valid excuse.”
The Naml	22. But he did not stay for long. He said, “I have learnt something you did not know. I have come to you from Sheba, with reliable information.
The Naml	23. I found a woman ruling over them, and she was given of everything, and she has a magnificent throne.
The Naml	24. I found her and her people worshiping the sun, instead of God. Satan made their conduct appear good to them, and diverted them from the path, so they are not guided.
The Naml	25. If only they would worship God, who brings to light the mysteries of the heavens and the earth, and knows what you conceal and what you reveal.
The Naml	26. God—There is no god but He, the Lord of the Sublime Throne.”
The Naml	27. He said, “We will see, whether you have spoken the truth, or whether you are a liar.
The Naml	28. Go with this letter of mine, and deliver it to them; then withdraw from them, and see how they respond.”
The Naml	29. She said, “O Counselors, a gracious letter was delivered to me.
The Naml	30. It is from Solomon, and it is, ‘In the Name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
The Naml	31. Do not defy me, and come to me submissively.’”
The Naml	32. She said, “O counselors, advise me in this matter of mine. I never make a decision unless you are present.”
The Naml	33. They said, “We are a people of might and great courage, but the decision is yours, so consider what you wish to command.”
The Naml	34. She said, “When kings enter a city, they devastate it, and subjugate its dignified people. Thus they always do.
The Naml	35. I am sending them a gift, and will see what the envoys bring back.”
The Naml	36. When he came to Solomon, he said, “Are you supplying me with money? What God has given me is better than what He has given you. It is you who delight in your gift.
The Naml	37. Go back to them. We will come upon them with troops they cannot resist; and we will expel them from there, disgraced and humiliated.”
The Naml	38. He said, “O notables, which one of you will bring me her throne before they come to me in submission?”
The Naml	39. An imp of the sprites said, “I will bring it to you before you rise from your seat. I am strong and reliable enough to do it.”
The Naml	40. He who had knowledge from the Book said, “I will bring it to you before your glance returns to you.” And when he saw it settled before him, he said, “This is from the grace of my Lord, to test me, whether I am grateful or ungrateful. He who is grateful, his gratitude is to his own credit; but he who is ungrateful—my Lord is Independent and Generous.”
The Naml	41. He said, “Disguise her throne for her, and we shall see whether she will be guided, or remains one of the misguided.”
The Naml	42. When she arrived, it was said, “Is your throne like this?” She said, “As if this is it.” “We were given knowledge before her, and we were submissive.”
The Naml	43. But she was prevented by what she worshiped besides God; she belonged to a disbelieving people.
The Naml	44. It was said to her, “Go inside the palace.” And when she saw it, she thought it was a deep pond, and she bared her legs. He said, “It is a palace paved with glass.” She said, “My Lord, I have done wrong to myself, and I have submitted with Solomon, to God, Lord of the Worlds.”
The Naml	45. And We sent to Thamood their brother Saleh: “Worship God.” But they became two disputing factions.
The Naml	46. He said, “O my people, why are you quick to do evil rather than good? If only you would seek God’s forgiveness, so that you may be shown mercy.”
The Naml	47. They said, “We consider you an ill omen, and those with you.” He said, “Your omen is with God. In fact, you are a people being tested.”
The Naml	48. In the city was a gang of nine who made mischief in the land and did no good.
The Naml	49. They said, “Swear by God to one another that we will attack him and his family by night, and then tell his guardian, 'We did not witness the murder of his family, and we are being truthful.'“
The Naml	50. They planned a plan, and We planned a plan, but they did not notice.
The Naml	51. So note the outcome of their planning; We destroyed them and their people, altogether.
The Naml	52. Here are their homes, in ruins, on account of their iniquities. Surely in this is a sign for people who know.
The Naml	53. And We saved those who believed and were pious.
The Naml	54. And Lot, when he said to his people, “Do you commit lewdness with open eyes?
The Naml	55. Do you lust after men instead of women? You are truly ignorant people.”
The Naml	56. But the only response of his people was to say, “Expel the family of Lot from your town. They are purist people.”
The Naml	57. So We saved him and his family, except for his wife, whom We destined to be among the laggards.
The Naml	58. And We rained upon them a rain. Miserable was the rain of those forewarned.
The Naml
The Naml	76. This Quran relates to the Children of Israel most of what they differ about.
The Naml	77. And it is guidance and mercy for the believers.
The Naml	78. Your Lord will judge between them by His wisdom. He is the Almighty, the All-Knowing.
The Naml	79. So rely on God. You are upon the clear truth.





The Narrative	2. These are the Verses of the Clear Book.
The Narrative	3. We narrate to you from the history of Moses and Pharaoh—in truth—for people who believe.
The Narrative	4. Pharaoh exalted himself in the land, and divided its people into factions. He persecuted a group of them, slaughtering their sons, while sparing their daughters. He was truly a corrupter.
The Narrative	5. But We desired to favor those who were oppressed in the land, and to make them leaders, and to make them the inheritors.
The Narrative	6. And to establish them in the land; and to show Pharaoh, Hamaan, and their troops, the very thing they feared.
The Narrative	7. We inspired the mother of Moses: “Nurse him; then, when you fear for him, cast him into the river, and do not fear, nor grieve; We will return him to you, and make him one of the messengers.”
The Narrative	8. Pharaoh’s household picked him up, to be an opponent and a sorrow for them. Pharaoh, Hamaan, and their troops were sinners.
The Narrative	9. Pharaoh’s wife said, “An eye's delight for me and for you. Do not kill him; perhaps he will be useful to us, or we may adopt him as a son.” But they did not foresee.
The Narrative	10. The heart of Moses’ mother became vacant. She was about to disclose him, had We not steadied her heart, that she may remain a believer.
The Narrative	11. She said to his sister, “Trail him.” So she watched him from afar, and they were unaware.
The Narrative	12. We forbade him breastfeeding at first. So she said, “Shall I tell you about a family that can raise him for you, and will look after him?”
The Narrative	13. Thus We returned him to his mother, that she may be comforted, and not grieve, and know that God’s promise is true. But most of them do not know.
The Narrative	14. And when he reached his maturity, and became established, We gave him wisdom and knowledge. Thus do We reward the virtuous.
The Narrative	15. Once he entered the city, unnoticed by its people. He found in it two men fighting—one of his own sect, and one from his enemies. The one of his sect solicited his assistance against the one from his enemies; so Moses punched him, and put an end to him. He said, “This is of Satan's doing; he is an enemy that openly misleads.”
The Narrative	16. He said, “My Lord, I have wronged myself, so forgive me.” So He forgave him. He is the Forgiver, the Merciful.
The Narrative	17. He said, “My Lord, in as much as you have favored me, I will never be a supporter of the criminals.”
The Narrative	18. The next morning, he went about in the city, fearful and vigilant, when the man who had sought his assistance the day before was shouting out to him. Moses said to him, “You are clearly a troublemaker.”
The Narrative	19. As he was about to strike the one who was their enemy, he said, “O Moses, do you intend to kill me, as you killed someone yesterday? You only want to be a bully in the land, and do not want to be a peacemaker.”
The Narrative	20. And a man came from the farthest part of the city running. He said, “O Moses, the authorities are considering killing you, so leave; I am giving you good advice.”
The Narrative	21. So he left, fearful and vigilant. He said, “My Lord, deliver me from the wrongdoing people.”
The Narrative	22. As he headed towards Median, he said, “Perhaps my Lord will guide me to the right way.”
The Narrative	23. And when he arrived at the waters of Median, he found there a crowd of people drawing water, and he noticed two women waiting on the side. He said, “What is the matter with you?” They said, “We cannot draw water until the shepherds depart, and our father is a very old man.”
The Narrative	24. So he drew water for them, and then withdrew to the shade, and said, “My Lord, I am in dire need of whatever good you might send down to me.”
The Narrative	25. Then, one of the two women approached him, walking bashfully. She said, “My father is calling you, to reward you for drawing water for us.” And when he came to him, and told him the story, he said, “Do not fear, you have escaped from the wrongdoing people.”
The Narrative	26. One of the two women said, “Father, hire him; the best employee for you is the strong and trustworthy.”
The Narrative	27. He said, “I want to marry you to one of these two daughters of mine, provided you work for me for eight years. But if you complete ten, that is up to you. I do not intend to impose any hardship on you. You will find me, God willing, one of the righteous.”
The Narrative	28. He said, “Let this be an agreement between you and me. Whichever of the two terms I fulfill, there shall be no reprisal against me; and God is witness over what we say.”
The Narrative	29. When Moses had completed the term, and departed with his family, he noticed a fire by the side of the Mount. He said to his family, “Stay here, I have glimpsed a fire. Perhaps I can bring you some information from there, or an ember from the fire, that you may warm yourselves.”
The Narrative	30. When he reached it, he was called from the right side of the valley, at the Blessed Spot, from the bush: “O Moses, it is I, God, the Lord of the Worlds.
The Narrative	31. Throw down your staff.” And when he saw it wiggling, as if it were possessed, he turned his back to flee, and did not look back. “O Moses, come forward, and do not fear, you are perfectly safe.
The Narrative	32. Put your hand inside your pocket, and it will come out white, without blemish. And press your arm to your side, against fear. These are two proofs from your Lord, to Pharaoh and his dignitaries. They are truly sinful people.”
The Narrative	33. He said, “My Lord, I have killed one of them, and I fear they will kill me.
The Narrative	34. And my brother Aaron, he is more eloquent than me, so send him with me, to help me, and to confirm my words, for I fear they will reject me.”
The Narrative	35. He said, “We will strengthen your arm with your brother, and We will give you authority, so they will not touch you. By virtue of Our signs, you and those who follow you will be the triumphant.”
The Narrative	36. But when Moses came to them with Our signs, clear and manifest, they said, “This is nothing but fabricated magic, and We never heard of this from our ancestors of old.”
The Narrative	37. Moses said, “My Lord is well aware of him who brings guidance from Him, and him who will have the sequel of the abode. The wrongdoers will not succeed.”
The Narrative	38. Pharaoh said, “O nobles, I know of no god for you other than me. So fire-up the bricks for me O Hamaan, and build me a tower, that I may ascend to the God of Moses, though I think he is a liar.”
The Narrative	39. He and his troops acted arrogantly in the land, with no justification. They thought they would not be returned to Us.
The Narrative	40. So We seized him, and his troops, and We threw them into the sea. Observe, therefore, what was the end of the oppressors.
The Narrative	41. And We made them leaders calling to the Fire. And on Resurrection Day, they will not be saved.
The Narrative	42. And We pursued them in this world with a curse. And on Resurrection Day, they will be among the despised.
The Narrative	43. We gave Moses the Scripture after We had annihilated the previous generations; as an illumination for mankind, and guidance, and mercy, so that they may remember.
The Narrative	44. You were not on the Western Side when We decreed the command to Moses, nor were you among the witnesses.
The Narrative	45. But We established many generations, and time took its toll on them. Nor were you among the people of Median, reciting Our revelations to them. But We kept sending messengers.
The Narrative	46. Nor were you by the side of the Mount when We proclaimed. Rather, it was a mercy from your Lord, that you may warn people who received no warner before you, so that they may take heed.
The Narrative	47. Otherwise, if a calamity befell them as a result of what their hands have perpetrated, they would say, “Our Lord, if only You had sent us a messenger, we would have followed Your revelations, and been among the believers.”
The Narrative	48. But when the truth came to them from Us, they said, “If only he was given the like of what was given to Moses.” Did they not disbelieve in what was given to Moses in the past? They said, “Two works of magic backing one another.” And they said, “We are disbelieving in both.”
The Narrative	49. Say, “Then bring a scripture from God, more conductive to guidance than both, and I will follow it, if you are truthful.”
The Narrative	50. But if they fail to respond to you, know that they follow their fancies. And who is more lost than him who follows his fancy without guidance from God? God does not guide the unjust people.
The Narrative	51. We have delivered the Word to them, that they may remember.
The Narrative	52. Those to whom We gave the Scripture before it believe in it.
The Narrative	53. When it is recited to them, they say, “We have believed in it; it is the truth from our Lord; we were Muslims prior to it.”
The Narrative	54. These will be given their reward twice, because they persevered; and they counter evil with good; and from Our provisions to them, they give.
The Narrative	55. And when they hear vain talk, they avoid it, and say, “We have our deeds, and you have your deeds; peace be upon you; we do not desire the ignorant.”
The Narrative	56. You cannot guide whom you love, but God guides whom He wills, and He knows best those who are guided.
The Narrative	57. And they say, “If we follow the guidance with you, we will be snatched from our land.” Did We not establish for them a Safe Sanctuary, to which are brought all kinds of fruits, as provision from Ourselves? But most of them do not know.
The Narrative	58. And how many a city did We destroy for turning unappreciative of its livelihood? Here are their homes, uninhabited after them, except for a few. And We became the Inheritors.
The Narrative	59. Your Lord never destroys cities without first sending a messenger in their midst, reciting to them Our revelations. And We never destroy the cities, unless their people are wrongdoers.
The Narrative	60. Whatever thing you are given is but the material of this world, and its glitter. But what is with God is better, and longer lasting. Do you not comprehend?
The Narrative	61. Can someone to whom We have made a fine promise—which he will attain—be equal to someone to whom We have given enjoyments in this world, but who will be, on Resurrection Day, among the arraigned?
The Narrative	62. On the Day when He will call to them, and say, “Where are My associates whom you used to claim?”
The Narrative	63. Those against whom the sentence is justified will say, “Our Lord, these are they whom we misled. We misled them, as we were misled. We beg Your forgiveness; it was not us they used to worship.”
The Narrative	64. And it will be said, “Call on your partners.” And they will call on them, but they will not respond to them. And they will see the suffering. If only they were guided.
The Narrative	65. On the Day when He will call to them, and say, “What did you answer the Messengers?”
The Narrative	66. They will be blinded by the facts on that Day, and they will not question each other.
The Narrative	67. But he who repents, and believes, and does righteous deeds, may well be among the winners.
The Narrative	68. Your Lord creates whatever He wills, and He chooses. The choice is not theirs. Glory be to God, and exalted be He above the associations they make.
The Narrative	69. And your Lord knows what their hearts conceal, and what they reveal.
The Narrative	70. And He is God. There is no god but He. To Him belongs all praise in this life, and in the next. And His is the decision, and to Him you will be returned.
The Narrative	71. Say, “Have you considered? Had God made the night perpetual over you until the Day of Resurrection, which god other than God will bring you illumination? Do you not hear?”
The Narrative	72. Say, “Have you considered? Had God made the day perpetual over you until the Day of Resurrection, which god other than God will bring you night to rest in? Do you not see?”
The Narrative	73. It is out of His mercy that He made for you the night and the day, that you may rest in it, and seek some of His bounty; and that you may give thanks.
The Narrative	74. On the Day when He will call to them, and say, “Where are My associates whom you used to claim?”
The Narrative	75. And We will draw out from every community a witness, and say, “Produce your evidence.” Then they will realize that the truth is God’s, and those they used to invent have forsaken them.
The Narrative	76. Quaroon belonged to the clan of Moses, but he oppressed them. We had given him treasures, the keys of which would weigh down a group of strong men. His people said to him, “Do not exult; God does not love the exultant.
The Narrative	77. But seek, with what God has given you, the Home of the Hereafter, and do not neglect your share of this world. And be charitable, as God has been charitable to you. And do not seek corruption in the land. God does not like the seekers of corruption.”
The Narrative	78. He said, “I was given all this on account of knowledge I possess.” Did he not know that God destroyed many generations before him, who were stronger than he, and possessed greater riches? But the guilty will not be asked about their sins.
The Narrative	79. And he went out before his people in his splendor. Those who desired the worldly life said, “If only we possessed the likes of what Quaroon was given. He is indeed very fortunate.”
The Narrative	80. But those who were given knowledge said, “Woe to you! The reward of God is better for those who believe and do righteous deeds.” Yet none attains it except the steadfast.
The Narrative	81. So We caused the earth to cave in on him and his mansion. He had no company to save him from God, and he could not defend himself.
The Narrative	82. Those who had wished they were in his position the day before were saying, “Indeed, it is God who spreads the bounty to whomever He wills of His servants, and restricts it. Had God not been gracious to us, He would have caved in on us. No wonder the ungrateful never prosper.”
The Narrative	83. That Home of the Hereafter—We assign it for those who seek no superiority on earth, nor corruption. And the outcome is for the cautious.
The Narrative	84. Whoever brings a virtue will receive better than it. But whoever brings evil—the evildoers will be rewarded only according to what they used to do.
The Narrative	85. He Who ordained the Quran for you will return you Home. Say, “My Lord knows best who comes with guidance, and who is in manifest error.”
The Narrative	86. You did not expect the Scripture to be transmitted to you, except as mercy from your Lord. Therefore, do not be a supporter of the disbelievers.
The Narrative	87. And do not let them divert you from God’s revelations after they have been revealed to you. And pray to your Lord, and never be of the polytheists.
The Narrative	88. And do not invoke with God any other god. There is no god but He. All things perish, except His presence. His is the judgment, and to Him you will be returned.

The Spider	14. We sent Noah to his people, and He stayed among them for a thousand years minus fifty years. Then the Deluge swept them; for they were wrongdoers.
The Spider	15. But We saved him, together with the company of the Ark, and We made it a sign for all peoples.
The Spider	16. And Abraham, when he said to his people, “Worship God, and fear Him. That is better for you, if you only knew.
The Spider	17. You worship idols besides God, and you fabricate falsehoods. Those you worship, instead of God, cannot provide you with livelihood. So seek your livelihood from God, and worship Him, and thank Him. To Him you will be returned.”
The Spider	18. If you disbelieve, communities before you have also disbelieved. The Messenger is only responsible for clear transmission.
The Spider	19. Have they not seen how God originates the creation, and then reproduces it? This is easy for God.
The Spider	20. Say, “Roam the earth, and observe how He originated the creation.” Then God will bring about the next existence. God has power over all things.”
The Spider	21. He punishes whom He wills, and He grants mercy to whom He wills, and to Him you will be restored.
The Spider	22. You cannot escape, on earth or in the heaven; and you have no protector and no savior besides God.
The Spider	23. Those who disbelieved in God’s signs and His encounter—these have despaired of My mercy. For them is a painful torment.
The Spider	24. But the only response from his people was their saying, “Kill him, or burn him.” But God saved him from the fire. Surely in that are signs for people who believe.
The Spider	25. And he said, “You have chosen idols instead of God, out of affection for one another in the worldly life. But then, on the Day of Resurrection, you will disown one another, and curse one another. Your destiny is Hell, and you will have no saviors.”
The Spider	26. Then Lot believed in him, and said, “I am emigrating to my Lord. He is the Noble, the Wise.”
The Spider	27. And We granted him Isaac and Jacob, and conferred on his descendants the Prophethood and the Book, and gave him his reward in this life; and in the Hereafter he will be among the upright.
The Spider	28. And Lot, when he said to his people, “You are committing an obscenity not perpetrated before you by anyone in the whole world.
The Spider	29. You approach men, and cut off the way, and commit lewdness in your gatherings.” But the only response from his people was to say, “Bring upon us God’s punishment, if you are truthful.”
The Spider	30. He said, “My Lord, help me against the people of corruption.”
The Spider	31. And when Our envoys brought Abraham the good news, they said, “We are going to destroy the people of this town; its people are wrongdoers.”
The Spider	32. He said, “Yet Lot is in it.” They said, “We are well aware of who is in it. We will save him, and his family, except for his wife, who will remain behind.”
The Spider	33. Then, when Our envoys came to Lot, they were mistreated, and he was troubled and distressed on their account. They said, “Do not fear, nor grieve. We will save you and your family, except for your wife, who will remain behind.”
The Spider	34. “We will bring down upon the people of this town a scourge from heaven, because of their wickedness.”
The Spider	35. And We left behind a clear trace of it, for people who understand.
The Spider	36. And to Median, their brother Shuaib. He said, “O my people, worship God and anticipate the Last Day, and do not spread corruption in the land.”
The Spider	37. But they rejected him, so the tremor overtook them, and they were left motionless in their homes.
The Spider	38. And Aad and Thamood. It has become clear to you from their dwellings. Satan embellished for them their deeds, barring them from the path, even though they could see.
The Spider	39. And Quaroon, and Pharaoh, and Hamaan—Moses went to them with clear arguments, but they acted arrogantly in the land. And they could not get ahead.
The Spider	40. Each We seized by his sin. Against some We sent a sandstorm. Some were struck by the Blast. Some We caused the ground to cave in beneath them. And some We drowned. It was not God who wronged them, but it was they who wronged their own selves.



The Adoration	23. We gave Moses the Book; so do not be in doubt regarding His encounter; and We made it a guidance for the Children of Israel.
The Adoration	24. And We appointed leaders from among them, guiding by Our command, as long as they persevered and were certain of Our communications.
The Adoration	25. Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding everything they had disputed.

The Allies	7. Recall that We received a pledge from the prophets, and from you, and from Noah, and Abraham, and Moses, and Jesus son of Mary. We received from them a solemn pledge.
The Allies	8. That He may ask the sincere about their sincerity. He has prepared for the disbelievers a painful punishment.
The Allies
The Allies	69. O you who believe! Do not be like those who abused Moses; but God cleared him of what they said. He was distinguished with God.

The Originator	31. What We inspired in you, of the Book, is the truth, confirming what preceded it. God is Well-Informed of His servants, All-Seeing.
The Originator	32. Then We passed the Book to those of Our servants whom We chose. Some of them wrong their souls, and some follow a middle course, and some are in the foremost in good deeds by God’s leave; that is the greatest blessing.

Ya Sin	13. And cite for them the parable of the landlords of the town—when the messengers came to it.
Ya Sin	14. We sent them two messengers, but they denied them both, so We reinforced them with a third. They said, “We are messengers to you.”
Ya Sin	15. They said, “You are nothing but humans like us, and the Gracious did not send down anything; you are only lying.”
Ya Sin	16. They said, “Our Lord knows that we are messengers to you.
Ya Sin	17. And our only duty is clear communication.”
Ya Sin	18. They said, “We see an evil omen in you; if you do not give up, we will stone you, and a painful punishment from us will befall you.”
Ya Sin	19. They said, “Your evil omen is upon you. Is it because you were reminded? But you are an extravagant people.”
Ya Sin	20. Then a man came running from the remotest part of the city. He said, “O my people, follow the messengers.
Ya Sin	21. Follow those who ask you of no wage, and are themselves guided.
Ya Sin	22. “And why should I not worship Him Who created me, and to Whom you will be returned?
Ya Sin	23. Shall I take other gods instead of Him? If the Merciful desires harm for me, their intercession will not avail me at all, nor will they save me.
Ya Sin	24. In that case, I would be completely lost.
Ya Sin	25. I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me.”
Ya Sin	26. It was said, “Enter Paradise.” He said, “If only my people knew.
Ya Sin	27. How my Lord has forgiven me, and made me one of the honored.”
Ya Sin	28. After him, We sent down no hosts from heaven to his people; nor would We ever send any down.
Ya Sin	29. It was just one Cry, and they were stilled.
Ya Sin	30. Alas for the servants. No messenger ever came to them, but they ridiculed him.
Ya Sin	31. Have they not considered how many generations We destroyed before them; and that unto them they will not return?
Ya Sin	32. All of them, every single one of them, will be arraigned before Us.

Those Ranging in Ranks	75. And Noah called out to Us, and We are the Best of responders.
Those Ranging in Ranks	76. And We saved him and his family from the great calamity.

Those Ranging in Ranks	79. Peace be upon Noah among all people.
Those Ranging in Ranks	80. We thus reward the righteous.
Those Ranging in Ranks	81. He was one of Our believing servants.
Those Ranging in Ranks	82. Then We drowned the others.
Those Ranging in Ranks	83. Of his kind was Abraham.
Those Ranging in Ranks	84. When he came to his Lord with a sound heart.
Those Ranging in Ranks	85. He said to his father and his people, “What are you worshiping?
Those Ranging in Ranks	86. Is it falsified gods, instead of God, that you want?
Those Ranging in Ranks	87. So what is your opinion about the Lord of the Worlds?”
Those Ranging in Ranks	88. Then he took a glance at the stars.
Those Ranging in Ranks	89. And said, “I am sick.”
Those Ranging in Ranks	90. But they turned their backs on him, and went away.
Those Ranging in Ranks	91. Then he turned to their gods, and said, “will you not eat?
Those Ranging in Ranks	92. What is it with you, that you do not speak?”
Those Ranging in Ranks	93. Then he turned on them, striking with his right hand.
Those Ranging in Ranks	94. And they came running towards him.
Those Ranging in Ranks	95. He said, “Do you worship what you carve?
Those Ranging in Ranks	96. When God created you, and what you manufacture?”
Those Ranging in Ranks	97. They said, “Build a pyre for him, and throw him into the furnace.”
Those Ranging in Ranks	98. They wished him ill, but We made them the losers.
Those Ranging in Ranks	99. He said, “I am going towards my Lord, and He will guide me.”
Those Ranging in Ranks	100. “My Lord, give me one of the righteous.”
Those Ranging in Ranks	101. So We gave him good news of a clement boy.
Those Ranging in Ranks	102. Then, when he was old enough to accompany him, he said, “O My son, I see in a dream that I am sacrificing you; see what you think.” He said, “O my Father, do as you are commanded; you will find me, God willing, one of the steadfast.”
Those Ranging in Ranks	103. Then, when they had submitted, and he put his forehead down.
Those Ranging in Ranks	104. We called out to him, “O Abraham!
Those Ranging in Ranks	105. You have fulfilled the vision.” Thus We reward the doers of good.
Those Ranging in Ranks	106. This was certainly an evident test.
Those Ranging in Ranks	107. And We redeemed him with a great sacrifice.
Those Ranging in Ranks	108. And We left with him for later generations.
Those Ranging in Ranks	109. Peace be upon Abraham.
Those Ranging in Ranks	110. Thus We reward the doers of good.
Those Ranging in Ranks	111. He was one of Our believing servants.
Those Ranging in Ranks	112. And We gave him good news of Isaac, a prophet, one of the righteous.
Those Ranging in Ranks	113. And We blessed him, and Isaac. But among their descendants are some who are righteous, and some who are clearly unjust to themselves.
Those Ranging in Ranks	114. And We blessed Moses and Aaron.
Those Ranging in Ranks	115. And We delivered them and their people from the terrible disaster.
Those Ranging in Ranks	116. And We supported them, and so they were the victors.
Those Ranging in Ranks	117. And We gave them the Clarifying Scripture.
Those Ranging in Ranks	118. And We guided them upon the straight path.
Those Ranging in Ranks	119. And We left with them for later generations.
Those Ranging in Ranks	120. Peace be upon Moses and Aaron.
Those Ranging in Ranks	121. Thus We reward the righteous.
Those Ranging in Ranks	122. They were of Our believing servants.
Those Ranging in Ranks	123. Also Elijah was one of the messengers.
Those Ranging in Ranks	124. He said to his people, “Do you not fear?
Those Ranging in Ranks	125. Do you call on Baal, and forsake the Best of creators?
Those Ranging in Ranks	126. God is your Lord, and the Lord of your ancestors.”
Those Ranging in Ranks	127. But they called him a liar, and thus they will be brought forward.
Those Ranging in Ranks	128. Except for God’s sincere servants.
Those Ranging in Ranks	129. And We left with him for later generations.
Those Ranging in Ranks	130. Peace be upon the House of Elijah.
Those Ranging in Ranks	131. Thus We reward the virtuous.
Those Ranging in Ranks	132. He was one of Our believing servants.
Those Ranging in Ranks	133. And Lot was one of the messengers.
Those Ranging in Ranks	134. We saved him and his family, all of them.
Those Ranging in Ranks	135. Except for an old woman who lagged behind.
Those Ranging in Ranks	136. Then We annihilated the others.
Those Ranging in Ranks	137. You pass by them in the morning.
Those Ranging in Ranks	138. And at night. Do you not understand?
Those Ranging in Ranks	139. And Jonah was one of the messengers.
Those Ranging in Ranks	140. When he fled to the laden boat.
Those Ranging in Ranks	141. He gambled and lost.
Those Ranging in Ranks	142. Then the fish swallowed him, and he was to blame.
Those Ranging in Ranks	143. Had he not been one of those who praised.
Those Ranging in Ranks	144. He would have stayed in its belly until the Day they are raised.
Those Ranging in Ranks	145. Then We threw him into the wilderness, and he was sick.
Those Ranging in Ranks	146. And We made a gourd tree grow over him.
Those Ranging in Ranks	147. Then We sent him to a hundred thousand, or more.
Those Ranging in Ranks	148. And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment for a while.
Those Ranging in Ranks
Those Ranging in Ranks	171. Our Word has already gone out to our servant messengers.
Those Ranging in Ranks	172. It is they who will be supported.
Those Ranging in Ranks	173. And Our troops will be the victors.


Sad	12. Before them the people of Noah denied the truth; as did Aad, and Pharaoh of the Stakes.
Sad	13. And Thamood, and the people of Lot, and the dwellers of the Woods—these were the confederates.
Sad	14. None of them but denied the messengers, so My retribution was deserved.
Sad	15. These can expect only a single scream, from which there is no recovery.
Sad	16. And they say, “Our Lord, hasten Your writ upon us, before the Day of Account.”
Sad	17. Be patient in the face of what they say, and mention Our servant David, the resourceful. He was obedient.
Sad	18. We committed the mountains to glorify with him, in the evening and at daybreak.
Sad	19. And the birds, gathered together. All obedient to him.
Sad	20. And We strengthened his kingdom, and gave him wisdom and decisive speech.
Sad	21. Has the story of the two disputants reached you? When they scaled the sanctuary?
Sad	22. When they entered upon David, and he was startled by them. They said, “Do not fear. Two disputants; one of us has wronged the other; so judge between us fairly, and do not be biased, and guide us to the straight way.”
Sad	23. “This brother of mine has ninety-nine ewes, and I have one ewe, and he said, ‘Entrust it to me,’ and he pressured me with words.”
Sad	24. He said, “He has done you wrong by asking your ewe in addition to his ewes. Many partners take advantage of one another, except those who believe and do good deeds, but these are so few.” David realized that We were testing him, so he sought forgiveness from his Lord, and fell down to his knees, and repented.
Sad	25. So We forgave him that. And for him is nearness to Us, and a good place of return.
Sad	26. “O David, We made you a ruler in the land, so judge between the people with justice, and do not follow desire, lest it diverts you from God’s path. Those who stray from God’s path will have a painful punishment, for having ignored the Day of Account.”
Sad	27. We did not create the heaven and the earth and everything between them in vain. That is the assumption of those who disbelieve—so woe to those who disbelieve because of the Fire.
Sad	28. Or are We to treat those who believe and do righteous deeds like those who make trouble on earth? Or are We to treat the pious like the shameless?
Sad	29. A blessed Book that We sent down to you, that they may ponder its Verses, and for those with intelligence to take heed.
Sad	30. And We granted David, Solomon, an excellent servant. He was penitent.
Sad	31. When the beautiful horses were paraded before him in the evening.
Sad	32. He said, “I have preferred the love of niceties to the remembrance of my Lord—until it disappeared behind the veil.
Sad	33. Bring them back to me.” And he began caressing their legs and necks.
Sad	34. We tested Solomon, and placed a body on his throne; then he repented.
Sad	35. He said, “My Lord, forgive me, and grant me a kingdom never to be attained by anyone after me. You are the Giver.”
Sad	36. So We placed the wind at his service, blowing gently by his command, wherever he directed.
Sad	37. And the demons—every builder and diver.
Sad	38. And others fettered in chains.
Sad	39. “This is Our gift; so give generously, or withhold; without account.”
Sad	40. For him is nearness to Us, and a beautiful resort.
Sad	41. And mention Our servant Job, when he called out to his Lord, “Satan has afflicted me with hardship and pain.”
Sad	42. “Stamp with your foot—here is cool water to wash with, and to drink.”
Sad	43. And We restored his family for him, and their like with them; as a mercy from Us, and a lesson for those who possess insight.
Sad	44. “Take with your hand a bundle, and strike with it, and do not break your oath.” We found him patient. What an excellent servant! He was obedient.
Sad	45. And mention Our servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—endowed with ability and vision.
Sad	46. We distinguished them with a distinct quality: the remembrance of the Home.
Sad	47. To Us they are among the chosen, the outstanding.
Sad	48. And mention Ishmael, Elisha, and Ezekiel; all are among the outstanding.
Sad	49. This is a reminder. The devout will have a good place of return.
Sad	50. The Gardens of Eden, with their doors wide-open for them.



The Believer	23. We sent Moses with Our signs, and a clear authority.
The Believer	24. To Pharaoh, Hamaan, and Quaroon. But they said, “A lying sorcerer.”
The Believer	25. Then, when he came to them with the truth from Us, they said, “Kill the sons of those who have believed with him, and spare their daughters.” But the scheming of the unbelievers can only go astray.
The Believer	26. Pharaoh said, “Leave me to kill Moses, and let him appeal to his Lord. I fear he may change your religion, or spread disorder in the land.”
The Believer	27. Moses said, “I have sought the protection of my Lord and your Lord, from every tyrant who does not believe in the Day of Account.”
The Believer	28. A believing man from Pharaoh's family, who had concealed his faith, said, “Are you going to kill a man for saying, `My Lord is God,’ and he has brought you clear proofs from your Lord? If he is a liar, his lying will rebound upon him; but if he is truthful, then some of what he promises you will befall you. God does not guide the extravagant imposter.
The Believer	29. O my people! Yours is the dominion today, supreme in the land; but who will help us against God’s might, should it fall upon us?” Pharaoh said, “I do not show you except what I see, and I do not guide you except to the path of prudence.”
The Believer	30. The one who had believed said, “O my people, I fear for you the like of the day of the confederates.
The Believer	31. Like the fate of the people of Noah, and Aad, and Thamood, and those after them. God wants no injustice for the servants.
The Believer	32. O my people, I fear for you the Day of Calling Out.
The Believer	33. The Day when you will turn and flee, having no defender against God. Whomever God misguides has no guide.”
The Believer	34. Joseph had come to you with clear revelations, but you continued to doubt what he came to you with. Until, when he perished, you said, “God will never send a messenger after him.” Thus God leads astray the outrageous skeptic.
The Believer	35. Those who argue against God’s revelations, without any proof having come to them—a heinous sin in the sight of God, and of those who believe. Thus God seals the heart of every proud bully.
The Believer	36. And Pharaoh said, “O Hamaan, build me a tower, that I may reach the pathways.
The Believer	37. The pathways of the heavens, so that I may glance at the God of Moses; though I think he is lying.” Thus Pharaoh’s evil deeds were made to appear good to him, and he was averted from the path. Pharaoh's guile was only in defeat.
The Believer	38. The one who had believed said, “O my people, follow me, and I will guide you to the path of rectitude.”
The Believer	39. “O my people, the life of this world is nothing but fleeting enjoyment, but the Hereafter is the Home of Permanence.
The Believer	40. Whoever commits a sin will be repaid only with its like. But whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, and is a believer—these will enter Paradise, where they will be provided for without account.
The Believer	41. O my people, how is it that I call you to salvation, and you call me to the Fire?
The Believer	42. You call me to reject God, and to associate with Him what I have no knowledge of, while I call you to the Mighty Forgiver.
The Believer	43. Without a doubt, what you call me to has no say in this world, or in the Hereafter; and our turning back is to God; and the transgressors are the inmates of the Fire.
The Believer	44. You will remember what I am telling you, so I commit my case to God. God is Observant of the servants.”
The Believer	45. So God protected him from the evils of their scheming, while a terrible torment besieged Pharaoh’s clan.
The Believer	46. The Fire. They will be exposed to it morning and evening. And on the Day the Hour takes place: “Admit the clan of Pharaoh to the most intense agony.”
The Believer	47. As they quarrel in the Fire, the weak will say to those who were arrogant, “We were followers of yours; will you then spare us a portion of the Fire?”
The Believer	48. Those who were arrogant will say, “We are all in it; God has judged between the servants.”
The Believer	49. And those in the Fire will say to the keepers of Hell, “Call to your Lord to lessen our suffering for one day.”
The Believer	50. They will say, “Did not your messengers come to you with clear signs?” They will say, “Yes.” They will say, “Then pray, but the prayers of the disbelievers will always be in vain.”
The Believer	51. Most surely We will support Our messengers and those who believe, in this life, and on the Day the witnesses arise.
The Believer	52. The Day when their excuses will not profit the wrongdoers, and the curse will be upon them, and they will have the Home of Misery.
The Believer	53. We gave Moses guidance, and made the Children of Israel inherit the Scripture.
The Believer	54. A guide and a reminder for those endowed with reason.
The Believer	55. So be patient. The promise of God is true. And ask forgiveness for your sin, and proclaim the praise of your Lord evening and morning.

Detailed	45. We gave Moses the Book, but disputes arose concerning it. Were it not for a prior decree from your Lord, judgment would have been pronounced between them. But they are in perplexing doubt concerning it.
Detailed	46. Whoever acts righteously does so for himself; and whoever works evil does so against himself. Your Lord is not unjust to the servants.

Counsel	13. He prescribed for you the same religion He enjoined upon Noah, and what We inspired to you, and what We enjoined upon Abraham, and Moses, and Jesus: “You shall uphold the religion, and be not divided therein.” As for the idolaters, what you call them to is outrageous to them. God chooses to Himself whom He wills, and He guides to Himself whoever repents.
Counsel	14. They became divided only after knowledge came to them, out of resentment among themselves. Were it not for a predetermined decision from your Lord, judgment would have been pronounced between them. Indeed, those who were made to inherit the Book after them are in grave doubt about it.
Counsel	15. To this go on inviting, and be upright as you were commanded, and do not follow their inclinations, and say, “I believe in whatever Book God has sent down, and I was commanded to judge between you equitably. God is our Lord and your Lord. We have our deeds, and you have your deeds. Let there be no quarrel between us and you. God will bring us together, and to Him is the ultimate return.”

Gold	43. So adhere to what is revealed to you. You are upon a straight path.
Gold	44. It is a message for you, and for your people; and you will be questioned.
Gold	45. Ask those of Our messengers We sent before you: “Did We appoint gods besides the Most Gracious to be worshiped?”
Gold	46. We sent Moses with Our revelations to Pharaoh and his dignitaries. He said, “I am the Messenger of the Lord of the Worlds.”
Gold	47. But when he showed them Our signs, they started laughing at them.
Gold	48. Each sign We showed them was more marvelous than its counterpart. And We afflicted them with the plagues, so that they may repent.
Gold	49. They said, “O sorcerer, pray to your Lord for us, according to His pledge to you, and then we will be guided.”
Gold	50. But when We lifted the torment from them, they immediately broke their promise.
Gold	51. Pharaoh proclaimed among his people, saying, “O my people, do I not own the Kingdom of Egypt, and these rivers flow beneath me? Do you not see?
Gold	52. Am I not better than this miserable wretch, who can barely express himself?
Gold	53. Why are bracelets of gold not dropped on him, or they angels came with him in procession?”
Gold	54. Thus he fooled his people, and they obeyed him. They were wicked people.
Gold	55. And when they provoked Our wrath, We took retribution from them, and We drowned them all.
Gold	56. Thus We made them a precedent and an example for the others.
Gold	57. And when the son of Mary was cited as an example, your people opposed.
Gold	58. They said, “Are our gods better, or he?” They cited him only for argument. In fact, they are a quarrelsome people.
Gold	59. He was just a servant whom We blessed, and We made him an example for the Children of Israel.
Gold	60. Had We willed, We would have made of you angels to be successors on earth.
Gold	61. He is a portent of the Hour, so have no doubt about it, and follow Me. This is a straight way.
Gold	62. And let not Satan divert you. He is an open enemy to you.
Gold	63. When Jesus came with the clarifications, he said, “I have come to you with wisdom, and to clarify for you some of what you differ about. So fear God, and obey me.
Gold	64. God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him—this is a straight path.”
Gold	65. But the factions differed among themselves. So woe to the wrongdoers from the suffering of a painful Day.
Gold	66. Are they only waiting for the Hour to come upon them suddenly, while they are unaware?


Smoke	17. Before them We tested the people of Pharaoh; a noble messenger came to them.
Smoke	18. Saying, “Hand over God’s servants to me. I am an honest messenger to you.”
Smoke	19. And, “Do not exalt yourselves above God. I come to you with clear authority.
Smoke	20. I have taken refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me.
Smoke	21. But if you do not believe in me, keep away from me.”
Smoke	22. He appealed to his Lord: “These are a sinful people.”
Smoke	23. “Set out with My servants by night—you will be followed.
Smoke	24. And cross the sea quickly; they are an army to be drowned.”
Smoke	25. How many gardens and fountains did they leave behind?
Smoke	26. And plantations, and splendid buildings.
Smoke	27. And comforts they used to enjoy.
Smoke	28. So it was; and We passed it on to another people.
Smoke	29. Neither heaven nor earth wept over them, nor were they reprieved.
Smoke	30. And We delivered the Children of Israel from the humiliating persecution.
Smoke	31. From Pharaoh. He was a transgressing tyrant.
Smoke	32. And We chose them knowingly over all other people.
Smoke	33. And We gave them many signs, in which was an obvious test.

The Kneeling	16. We gave the Children of Israel the Book, and wisdom, and prophecy; and We provided them with the good things; and We gave them advantage over all other people.
The Kneeling	17. And We gave them precise rulings. They fell into dispute only after knowledge came to them, out of mutual rivalry. Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding the things they differed about.
The Kneeling	18. Then We set you upon a pathway of faith, so follow it, and do not follow the inclinations of those who do not know.

The Dunes	10. Say, “Have you considered? What if it is from God and you disbelieve in it? A witness from the Children of Israel testified to its like, and has believed, while you turned arrogant. God does not guide the unjust people.”
The Dunes	11. Those who disbelieve say to those who believe, “If it were anything good, they would not have preceded us to it.” And since they were not guided by it, they will say, “This is an ancient lie.”
The Dunes	12. And before it was the Book of Moses, a model and a mercy. And this is a confirming Book, in the Arabic language, to warn those who do wrong—and good news for the doers of good.

Victory	28. It is He who sent His Messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, to make it prevail over all religions. God suffices as Witness.
Victory	29. Muhammad is the Messenger of God. Those with him are stern against the disbelievers, yet compassionate amongst themselves. You see them kneeling, prostrating, seeking blessings from God and approval. Their marks are on their faces from the effects of prostration. Such is their description in the Torah, and their description in the Gospel: like a plant that sprouts, becomes strong, grows thick, and rests on its stem, impressing the farmers. Through them He enrages the disbelievers. God has promised those among them who believe and do good deeds forgiveness and a great reward.

The Spreadres	24. Has the story of Abraham’s honorable guests reached you?
The Spreadres	25. When they entered upon him, they said, “Peace.” He said, “Peace, strangers.”
The Spreadres	26. Then he slipped away to his family, and brought a fatted calf.
The Spreadres	27. He set it before them. He said, “Will you not eat?”
The Spreadres	28. And he harbored fear of them. They said, “Do not fear,” and they announced to him the good news of a knowledgeable boy.
The Spreadres	29. His wife came forward crying. She clasped her face, and said, “A barren old woman?”
The Spreadres	30. They said, “Thus spoke your Lord. He is the Wise, the Knowing.”
The Spreadres	31. He said, “What is your business, O envoys?”
The Spreadres	32. They said, “We are sent to a people guilty of sin.”
The Spreadres	33. “To unleash upon them rocks of clay.”
The Spreadres	34. “Marked by your Lord for the excessive.”
The Spreadres	35. We evacuated all the believers who were in it.
The Spreadres	36. But found in it only one household of Muslims.
The Spreadres	37. And We left in it a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.
The Spreadres	38. And in Moses. We sent him to Pharaoh with a clear authority.
The Spreadres	39. But he turned away with his warlords, and said, “A sorcerer or a madman.”
The Spreadres	40. So We seized him and his troops, and threw them into the sea, and He was to blame.
The Spreadres	41. And in Aad. We unleashed against them the devastating wind.
The Spreadres	42. It spared nothing it came upon, but rendered it like decayed ruins.
The Spreadres	43. And in Thamood. They were told, “Enjoy yourselves for a while.”
The Spreadres	44. But they defied the command of their Lord, so the lightning struck them as they looked on.
The Spreadres	45. They could not rise up, nor could they find help.
The Spreadres	46. And before that, the people of Noah. They were immoral people.


The Moon	9. Before them the people of Noah disbelieved. They rejected Our servant, and said, “Crazy,” and he was rebuked.
The Moon	10. So he appealed to his Lord, “I am overwhelmed, so help me.”
The Moon	11. So We opened the floodgates of heaven with water pouring down.
The Moon	12. And We made the earth burst with springs, and the waters met for a purpose already destined.
The Moon	13. And We carried him on a craft of planks and nails.
The Moon	14. Sailing before Our eyes; a reward for him who was rejected.
The Moon	15. And We left it as a sign. Is there anyone who would take heed?
The Moon	16. So how were My punishment and My warnings?
The Moon	17. We made the Quran easy to learn. Is there anyone who would learn?
The Moon	18. Aad denied the truth. So how were My punishment and My warnings?
The Moon	19. We unleashed upon them a screaming wind, on a day of unrelenting misery.
The Moon	20. Plucking the people away, as though they were trunks of uprooted palm-trees.
The Moon	21. So how were My punishment and My warnings?
The Moon	22. We made the Quran easy to remember. Is there anyone who would remember?
The Moon	23. Thamood rejected the warnings.
The Moon	24. They said, “Are we to follow one of us, a human being? We would then go astray, and end up in Hell.
The Moon	25. Was the message given to him, out of all of us? In fact, he is a wicked liar.”
The Moon	26. They will know tomorrow who the wicked liar is.
The Moon	27. We are sending the she-camel as a test for them; so watch them and be patient.
The Moon	28. And inform them that the water is to be shared between them; each share of drink made available.
The Moon	29. But they called their friend, and he dared, and he slaughtered.
The Moon	30. So how were My punishment and My warnings?
The Moon	31. We sent against them a single Scream, and they became like crushed hay.
The Moon	32. We made the Quran easy to understand. Is there anyone who would understand?
The Moon	33. The people of Lot rejected the warnings.
The Moon	34. We unleashed upon them a shower of stones, except for the family of Lot; We rescued them at dawn.
The Moon	35. A blessing from Us. Thus We reward the thankful.
The Moon	36. He had warned them of Our onslaught, but they dismissed the warnings.
The Moon	37. They even lusted for his guest, so We obliterated their eyes. “So taste My punishment and My warnings.”
The Moon	38. Early morning brought upon them enduring punishment.
The Moon	39. So taste My punishment and My warnings.
The Moon	40. We made the Quran easy to memorize. Is there anyone who would memorize?
The Moon	41. The warnings also came to the people of Pharaoh.
The Moon	42. They rejected Our signs, all of them, so We seized them—the seizure of an Almighty Omnipotent.



Iron	25. We sent Our messengers with the clear proofs, and We sent down with them the Book and the Balance, that humanity may uphold justice. And We sent down iron, in which is violent force, and benefits for humanity. That God may know who supports Him and His messengers invisibly. God is Strong and Powerful.
Iron	26. We sent Noah and Abraham, and established in their line Prophethood and the Scripture. Some of them are guided, but many of them are sinners.
Iron	27. Then We sent in their wake Our messengers, and followed up with Jesus son of Mary, and We gave him the Gospel, and instilled in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy. But as for the monasticism which they invented—We did not ordain it for them—only to seek God’s approval. But they did not observe it with its due observance. So We gave those of them who believed their reward, but many of them are sinful.
Iron	28. O you who believe! Fear God, and believe in His Messenger: He will give you a double portion of His mercy, and will give you a light by which you walk, and will forgive you. God is Forgiving and Merciful.
Iron	29. That the People of the Book may know that they have no power whatsoever over God’s grace, and that all grace is in God’s hand; He gives it to whomever He wills. God is Possessor of Great Grace.

The Ranks	5. When Moses said to his people, “O my people, why do you hurt me, although you know that I am God’s Messenger to you?” And when they swerved, God swerved their hearts. God does not guide the sinful people.
The Ranks	6. And when Jesus son of Mary said, “O Children of Israel, I am God’s Messenger to you, confirming what preceded me of the Torah, and announcing good news of a messenger who will come after me, whose name is Ahmad.” But when he showed them the miracles, they said, “This is obvious sorcery.”
The Ranks	7. And who is a greater wrongdoer than he who attributes falsehoods to God, when he is being invited to Islam? God does not guide the wrongdoing people.
The Ranks	8. They want to extinguish God’s Light with their mouths; but God will complete His Light, even though the disbelievers dislike it.
The Ranks	9. It is He who sent His Messenger with the guidance and the true religion, to make it prevail over all religions, even though the idolaters dislike it.
The Ranks
The Ranks	14. O you who believe! Be supporters of God, as Jesus son of Mary said to the disciples, “Who are my supporters towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God's supporters.” So a group of the Children of Israel believed, while another group disbelieved. We supported those who believed against their foe, so they became dominant.

The Congregation	5. The example of those who were entrusted with the Torah, but then failed to uphold it, is like the donkey carrying works of literature. Miserable is the example of the people who denounce God’s revelations. God does not guide the wrongdoing people.
The Congregation	6. Say, “O you who follow Judaism; if you claim to be the chosen of God, to the exclusion of the rest of mankind, then wish for death if you are sincere.”
The Congregation	7. But they will not wish for it, ever, due to what their hands have advanced. God knows well the wrongdoers.
The Congregation	8. Say, “The death from which you flee will catch up with you; then you will be returned to the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, and He will inform you of what you used to do.”

The Prohibition	10. God illustrates an example of those who disbelieve: the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot. They were under two of Our righteous servants, but they betrayed them. They availed them nothing against God, and it was said, “Enter the Fire with those who are entering.”
The Prohibition	11. And God illustrates an example of those who believe: the wife of Pharaoh, when she said, “My Lord, build for me, with you, a house in Paradise, and save me from Pharaoh and his works, and save me from the wrongdoing people.”
The Prohibition	12. And Mary, the daughter of Imran, who guarded her womb, and so We breathed into her of Our Spirit; and she believed in the truth of her Lord’s Words and His Books, and was one of the devout.

The Enwrapped	15. We have sent to you a messenger, a witness over you, as We sent to Pharaoh a messenger.
The Enwrapped	16. But Pharaoh defied the Messenger, so We seized him with a terrible seizing.

The Snatchers	15. Has the story of Moses reached you?
The Snatchers	16. When His Lord called out to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa.
The Snatchers	17. “Go to Pharaoh—he has transgressed.”
The Snatchers	18. And say, “Do you care to be cleansed?
The Snatchers	19. And I will guide you to your Lord, and you will turn reverent.”
The Snatchers	20. He showed him the Greatest Miracle.
The Snatchers	21. But he denied and defied.
The Snatchers	22. Then turned his back, and tried.
The Snatchers	23. And gathered and proclaimed.
The Snatchers	24. He said, “I am your Lord, the most high.”
The Snatchers	25. So God seized him with an exemplary punishment, in the last and in the first.
The Snatchers	26. In this is a lesson for whoever fears.




The Most High	1. Praise the Name of your Lord, the Most High.
The Most High	2. He who creates and regulates.
The Most High	3. He who measures and guides.
The Most High	4. He who produces the pasture.
The Most High	5. And then turns it into light debris.
The Most High	6. We will make you read, so do not forget.
The Most High	7. Except what God wills. He knows what is declared, and what is hidden.
The Most High	8. We will ease you into the Easy Way.
The Most High	9. So remind, if reminding helps.
The Most High	10. The reverent will remember.
The Most High	11. But the wretched will avoid it.
The Most High	12. He who will enter the Gigantic Fire.
The Most High	13. Where he will neither die, nor live.
The Most High	14. Successful is he who purifies himself.
The Most High	15. And mentions the name of his Lord, and prays.
The Most High	16. But you prefer the present life.
The Most High	17. Though the Hereafter is better, and more lasting.
The Most High	18. This is in the former scriptures.
The Most High	19. The Scriptures of Abraham and Moses.

he Daybreak	6. Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with Aad?
he Daybreak	7. Erum of the pillars.
he Daybreak	8. The like of which was never created in the land.
he Daybreak	9. And Thamood—those who carved the rocks in the valley.
he Daybreak	10. And Pharaoh of the Stakes.
he Daybreak	11. Those who committed excesses in the lands.
he Daybreak	12. And spread much corruption therein.
he Daybreak	13. So your Lord poured down upon them a scourge of punishment.
	14. Your Lord is on the lookout.
The Clear Evidence	1. Those who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture, and the Polytheists, were not apart, until the Clear Evidence came to them.
The Clear Evidence	2. A messenger from God reciting purified scripts.
The Clear Evidence	3. In them are valuable writings.
The Clear Evidence	4. Those who were given the Scripture did not splinter, except after the Clear Evidence came to them.
The Clear Evidence	5. They were commanded only to worship God, devoting their faith to Him alone, and to practice regular prayer, and to give alms. That is the upright religion.
The Clear Evidence	6. Those who disbelieve among the People of the Scripture, and the Polytheists, will be in the Fire of Hell, where they will abide forever. These are the worst of creatures.
The Clear Evidence	7. As for those who believe and lead a righteous life—these are the best of creatures.
The Clear Evidence	8. Their reward is with their Lord: Gardens of Eternity beneath which rivers flow, where they will abide forever. God is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. That is for whoever fears His Lord.
