قال أجئتنا لتخرجنا من أرضنا بسحرك يـموسى

Then we will surely bring you magic like it, so make between us and you an appointment, which we will not fail to keep and neither will you, in a place assigned."

Falanaatiyannaka bisihrim mislihee faj’al bainanaa wa bainaka maw’idal laa nukhlifuhoo nahnu wa laaa anta makaanan suwaa

Moses said to them [i.e., the magicians summoned by Pharaoh], "Woe to you! Do not invent a lie against Allāh or He will exterminate you with a punishment; and he has failed who invents [such falsehood]."

Qaala lahum Moosaa wailakum laa taftaroo ‘alal laahi kaziban fa yus hitakum bi ‘azaab, wa qad khaaba manif taraa

قال لهم موسى ويلكم لا تفتروا على ٱلله كذبا فيسحتكم بعذاب وقد خاب من ٱفترى

So they disputed over their affair among themselves and concealed their private conversation.

Fatanaaza’ooo amrahum bainahum wa asarrun najwaa

فتنـزعوا أمرهم بينهم وأسروا ٱلنجوى

They said, "Indeed, these are two magicians who want to drive you out of your land with their magic and do away with your most exemplary way [i.e., religion or tradition].

قالوا إن هـذن لسـحرن يريدان أن يخرجاكم من أرضكم بسحرهما ويذهبا بطريقتكم ٱلمثلى

So resolve upon your plan and then come [forward] in line. And he has succeeded today who overcomes."

Fa ajmi’oo kaidakum summma’too saffaa; wa qad aflahal yawma manis ta’laa

فأجمعوا كيدكم ثم ٱئتوا صفا وقد أفلح ٱليوم من ٱستعلى

They said, "O Moses, either you throw or we will be the first to throw."

Qaaloo yaa Moosaaa immaaa an tulqiya wa immaaa an nakoona awala man alqaa

قالوا يـموسى إما أن تلقى وإما أن نكون أول من ألقى

He said, "Rather, you throw." And suddenly their ropes and staffs seemed to him from their magic that they were moving [like snakes].

Qaala bal alqoo fa izaa hibaaluhum wa ‘isiyyuhum yukhaiyalu ilaihi min sihrihim annahaa tas’aa

قال بل ألقوا فإذا حبالهم وعصيهم يخيل إليه من سحرهم أنها تسعى

And he sensed within himself apprehension, did Moses.

Fa awjasa fee nafsihee kheefatam Moosa

فأوجس فى نفسهۦ خيفة موسى

We [i.e., Allāh] said, "Fear not. Indeed, it is you who are superior.

Qulnaa laa takhaf innaka antal a’laa

قلنا لا تخف إنك أنت ٱلأعلى

And throw what is in your right hand; it will swallow up what they have crafted. What they have crafted is but the trick of a magician, and the magician will not succeed wherever he is."

Wa alqi maa fee yamee nika talqaf maa sana’oo; innamaa sana’oo kaidu saahir; wa laa yuflihus saahiru haisu ataa

وألق ما فى يمينك تلقف ما صنعوا إنما صنعوا كيد سـحر ولا يفلح ٱلساحر حيث أتى

So the magicians fell down in prostration. They said, "We have believed in the Lord of Aaron and Moses."

Fa ulqiyas saharatu sujjadan qaalooo aamannaa bi Rabbi Haaroona wa Moosa

فألقى ٱلسحرة سجدا قالوا ءامنا برب هـرون وموسى

[Pharaoh] said, "You believed him [i.e., Moses] before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic. So I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you on the trunks of palm trees, and you will surely know which of us is more severe in [giving] punishment and more enduring."

Qaala aamantum lahoo qabla an aazana lakum; innahoo lakabeerukumul lazee ‘allama kumus sihra fala uqatti’anna aidiyakum wa arjulakum min khilaafinw wa la usallibannakum fee juzoo’in nakhli wa lata’lamunna aiyunaaa ashaddu ‘azaabanw wa abqaa

They said, "Never will we prefer you over what has come to us of clear proofs and [over] He who created us. So decree whatever you are to decree. You can only decree for this worldly life.

Qaaloo lan nu’siraka ‘alaa maa jaaa’anaa minal baiyinaati wallazee fataranaa faqdimaaa anta qaad; innamaa taqdee haazihil hayaatad dunyaa

قالوا لن نؤثرك على ما جاءنا من ٱلبينـت وٱلذى فطرنا فٱقض ما أنت قاض إنما تقضى هـذه ٱلحيوة ٱلدنيا

Indeed, we have believed in our Lord that He may forgive us our sins and what you compelled us [to do] of magic. And Allāh is better and more enduring."

Innaaa aamannaa bi Rabbinaa liyaghfira lanaa khataayaanaa wa maaa akrahtanaa ‘alaihi minas sihr; wallaahu khairunw wa abqaa

إنا ءامنا بربنا ليغفر لنا خطـيـنا وما أكرهتنا عليه من ٱلسحر وٱلله خير وأبقى

Indeed, whoever comes to his Lord as a criminal - indeed, for him is Hell; he will neither die therein nor live.

Innahoo mai ya’ti Rabbahoo mujriman fa inna lahoo Jahannama laa yamootu feehaa wa laa yahyaa

إنهۥ من يأت ربهۥ مجرما فإن لهۥ جهنم لا يموت فيها ولا يحيى

But whoever comes to Him as a believer having done righteous deeds - for those will be the highest degrees [in position]:

Wa mai ya’tihee mu’minan qad ‘amilas saalihaati fa ulaaa’ika lahumud darajaatul ‘ulaa

ومن يأتهۦ مؤمنا قد عمل ٱلصـلحـت فأولـئك لهم ٱلدرجـت ٱلعلى

Gardens of perpetual residence beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. And that is the reward of one who purifies himself.

Jannaatu ‘Adnin tajree min tahtihal anhaaru khaalideena feehaa; wa zaalika jazaaa’u man tazakka (section 3)

جنـت عدن تجرى من تحتها ٱلأنهـر خـلدين فيها وذلك جزاء من تزكى

And We had inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants and strike for them a dry path through the sea; you will not fear being overtaken [by Pharaoh] nor be afraid [of drowning]."

Wa laqad awhainaaa ilaa Moosaaa an asri bi’ibaadee fadrib lahum tareeqan fil bahri yabasal laa takhaafu darakanw wa laa takhshaa

ولقد أوحينا إلى موسى أن أسر بعبادى فٱضرب لهم طريقا فى ٱلبحر يبسا لا تخـف دركا ولا تخشى

So Pharaoh pursued them with his soldiers, and there covered them from the sea that which covered them,

Fa atba’ahum Fir’awnu bijunoodihee faghashiyahum minal yammmi maa ghashi yahum

فأتبعهم فرعون بجنودهۦ فغشيهم من ٱليم ما غشيهم

And Pharaoh led his people astray and did not guide [them].

wa adalla fir’awnu qawmahoo wa maa hadaa

وأضل فرعون قومهۥ وما هدى

O Children of Israel, We delivered you from your enemy, and We made an appointment with you at the right side of the mount, and We sent down to you manna and quails,

Yaa Baneee Israaa’eela qad anjainaakum min ‘aduw wikum wa wa’adnaakum jaanibat Tooril aimana wa nazzalnaa ‘alaikumul Manna was Salwaa

يـبنى إسرءيل قد أنجينـكم من عدوكم ووعدنـكم جانب ٱلطور ٱلأيمن ونزلنا عليكم ٱلمن وٱلسلوى

[Saying], "Eat from the good things with which We have provided you and do not transgress [or oppress others] therein, lest My anger should descend upon you. And he upon whom My anger descends has certainly fallen [i.e., perished]."

Kuloo min taiyibaati maa razaqnaakum wa laa tatghaw feehi fa yahilla ‘alaikum ghadabee wa mai yahlil ‘alaihi ghadabee faqad hawaa

كلوا من طيبـت ما رزقنـكم ولا تطغوا فيه فيحل عليكم غضبى ومن يحلل عليه غضبى فقد هوى

But indeed, I am the Perpetual Forgiver of whoever repents and believes and does righteousness and then continues in guidance.

Wa innee la Ghaffaarul liman taaba wa aamana wa ‘amila saalihan summah tadaa

وإنى لغفار لمن تاب وءامن وعمل صـلحا ثم ٱهتدى

[Allāh said], "And what made you hasten from your people, O Moses?"

Wa maaa a’jalaka ‘an qawmika yaa Moosa

وما أعجلك عن قومك يـموسى

He said, "They are close upon my tracks, and I hastened to You, my Lord, that You be pleased."

Qaala hum ulaaa’i ‘alaaa asaree wa ‘ajiltu ilaika Rabbi litardaa

قال هم أولاء على أثرى وعجلت إليك رب لترضى

[Allāh] said, "But indeed, We have tried your people after you [departed], and the Sāmirī has led them astray."

Qaala fa innaa qad fatannaa qawmaka mim ba’dika wa adallahumus Saamiriyy

قال فإنا قد فتنا قومك من بعدك وأضلهم ٱلسامرى

So Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved. He said, "O my people, did your Lord not make you a good promise? Then, was the time [of its fulfillment] too long for you, or did you wish that wrath from your Lord descend upon you, so you broke your promise [of obedience] to me?"

Faraja’a Moosaaa ilaa qawmihee ghadbaana asifaa; qaala yaa qawmi alam ya’idkum Rabbukum wa’dan hasanaa; afataala ‘alaikumul ‘ahdu am arattum ai yahilla ‘alaikum ghadabum mir Rabbikum fa akhlaftum maw’idee

فرجع موسى إلى قومهۦ غضبـن أسفا قال يـقوم ألم يعدكم ربكم وعدا حسنا أفطال عليكم ٱلعهد أم أردتم أن يحل عليكم غضب من ربكم فأخلفتم موعدى

They said, "We did not break our promise to you by our will, but we were made to carry burdens from the ornaments of the people [of Pharaoh], so we threw them [into the fire], and thus did the Sāmirī throw."

Qaaloo maaa akhlafnaa maw’idaka bimalkinna wa laakinna hummilnaaa awzaaram min zeenatil qawmi faqazafnaahaa fakazaalika alqas Saamiriyy

قالوا ما أخلفنا موعدك بملكنا ولـكنا حملنا أوزارا من زينة ٱلقوم فقذفنـها فكذلك ألقى ٱلسامرى

And he extracted for them [the statue of] a calf which had a lowing sound, and they said, "This is your god and the god of Moses, but he forgot."

Fa akhraja lahum ‘ijlan jasadal lahoo khuwaarun faqaaloo haazaaa ilaahukum wa ilaahu Moosaa fanasee

فأخرج لهم عجلا جسدا لهۥ خوار فقالوا هـذا إلـهكم وإلـه موسى فنسى

Did they not see that it could not return to them any speech [i.e., response] and that it did not possess for them any harm or benefit?

Afalaa yarawna allaa yarji’u ilaihim qawlanw wa laa yamliku lahum darranw wa laa naf’aa (section 4)

أفلا يرون ألا يرجع إليهم قولا ولا يملك لهم ضرا ولا نفعا

And Aaron had already told them before [the return of Moses], "O my people, you are only being tested by it, and indeed, your Lord is the Most Merciful, so follow me and obey my order."

Wa laqad qaala lahum Haaroonu min qablu yaa qawmi innamaa futintum bihee wa inna Rabbakumur Rahmaanu fattabi’oonee wa atee’ooo amree

ولقد قال لهم هـرون من قبل يـقوم إنما فتنتم بهۦ وإن ربكم ٱلرحمـن فٱتبعونى وأطيعوا أمرى

They said, "We will never cease being devoted to it [i.e., the calf] until Moses returns to us."

Qaaloo lan nabraha ‘alaihi ‘aakifeena hattaa yarji’a ilainaa Moosaa

قالوا لن نبرح عليه عـكفين حتى يرجع إلينا موسى

[Moses] said, "O Aaron, what prevented you, when you saw them going astray,

Qaala Yaa Haaroonu maa mana ‘aka iz ra aitahum dallooo

From following me? Then have you disobeyed my order?"

Allaa tattabi’ani afa’asaita amree

ألا تتبعن أفعصيت أمرى

[Aaron] said, "O son of my mother, do not seize [me] by my beard or by my head. Indeed, I feared that you would say, 'You caused division among the Children of Israel, and you did not observe [or await] my word.'"

Qaala yabna’umma laa ta’khuz bi lihyatee wa laa bi ra’see innee khasheetu an taqoola farraqta baina Baneee Israaa’eela wa lam tarqub qawlee

قال بصرت بما لم يبصروا بهۦ فقبضت قبضة من أثر ٱلرسول فنبذتها وكذلك سولت لى نفسى

[Moses] said, "Then go. And indeed, it is [decreed] for you in [this] life to say, 'No contact.' And indeed, you have an appointment [in the Hereafter] you will not fail to keep. And look at your 'god' to which you remained devoted. We will surely burn it and blow it [i.e., its ashes] into the sea with a blast.

Qaala fazhab fa inna laka fil hayaati an taqoola laa misaasa wa inna laka maw’idal lan tukhlafahoo wanzur ilaaa ilaahikal lazee zalta ‘alaihi ‘aakifaa; la nuharriqannahoo thumma la nansifannahoo fil yammi nasfaa

قال فٱذهب فإن لك فى ٱلحيوة أن تقول لا مساس وإن لك موعدا لن تخلفهۥ وٱنظر إلى إلـهك ٱلذى ظلت عليه عاكفا لنحرقنهۥ ثم لننسفنهۥ فى ٱليم نسفا

Your god is only Allāh, except for whom there is no deity. He has encompassed all things in knowledge."

Innamaaa ilaahu kumul laahul lazee laa ilaaha illaa Hoo; wasi’a kulla shai’in ilmaa

إنما إلـهكم ٱلله ٱلذى لا إلـه إلا هو وسع كل شىء علما

Thus, [O Muḥammad], We relate to you from the news of what has preceded. And We have certainly given you from Us a message [i.e., the Qur’ān].

Kazaalika naqussu ‘alaika min anbaaa’i maa qad sabaq; wa qad aatainaaka mil ladunnaa Zikraa

كذلك نقص عليك من أنباء ما قد سبق وقد ءاتينـك من لدنا ذكرا

Whoever turns away from it - then indeed, he will bear on the Day of Resurrection a burden [i.e., great sin],

Man a’rada ‘anhu, fa innahoo yahmilu Yawmal Qiyaamati wizraa

من أعرض عنه فإنهۥ يحمل يوم ٱلقيـمة وزرا

[Abiding] eternally therein, and evil it is for them on the Day of Resurrection as a load -

Khaalideena feehi wa saaa’a lahum Yawmal Qiyaamati himlaa

خـلدين فيه وساء لهم يوم ٱلقيـمة حملا

The Day the Horn will be blown. And We will gather the criminals, that Day, blue-eyed.

Yawma yunfakhu fissoori wa nahshurul mujrimeena Yawma ‘izin zurqaa

يوم ينفخ فى ٱلصور ونحشر ٱلمجرمين يومئذ زرقا

They will murmur among themselves, "You remained not but ten [days in the world]."

Yatakhaafatoona bainahum il labistum illaa ‘ashraa

يتخـفتون بينهم إن لبثتم إلا عشرا

We are most knowing of what they say when the best of them in manner [i.e., wisdom or speech] will say, "You remained not but one day."

nahnu a’lamu bimaa yaqooloona iz yaqoolu amsaluhum tareeqatan illabistum illaa yawmaa (section 5)

نحن أعلم بما يقولون إذ يقول أمثلهم طريقة إن لبثتم إلا يوما

And they ask you about the mountains, so say, "My Lord will blow them away with a blast.

Wa yas’aloonaka ‘anil jibaali faqul yansifuhaa Rabbee nasfaa

ويسـلونك عن ٱلجبال فقل ينسفها ربى نسفا

And He will leave it [i.e., the earth] a level plain;

Fa yazaruhaa qaa’an safsafaa

فيذرها قاعا صفصفا

You will not see therein a depression or an elevation."

Laa taraa feehaa ‘iwajanw wa laaa amtaa

لا ترى فيها عوجا ولا أمتا

That Day, they [i.e., everyone] will follow [the call of] the Caller [with] no deviation therefrom, and [all] voices will be stilled before the Most Merciful, so you will not hear except a whisper [of footsteps].

Yawma iziny yattabi’oonad daa’iya laa ‘iwaja lahoo wa khasha’atil aswaatu lir Rahmaani falaa tasma’u illaa hamsaa

يومئذ يتبعون ٱلداعى لا عوج لهۥ وخشعت ٱلأصوات للرحمـن فلا تسمع إلا همسا

That Day, no intercession will benefit except [that of] one to whom the Most Merciful has given permission and has accepted his word.

Yawma ‘izil laa tanfa’ush shafaa’atu illaa man azina lahur Rahmaanu wa radiya lahoo qawlaa

يومئذ لا تنفع ٱلشفـعة إلا من أذن له ٱلرحمـن ورضى لهۥ قولا

He [i.e., Allāh] knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, but they do not encompass it [i.e., what He knows] in knowledge.

Ya’lamu maa bainaa aideehim wa maa khalfahum wa laa yuheetoona bihee ‘ilmaa

يعلم ما بين أيديهم وما خلفهم ولا يحيطون بهۦ علما

And [all] faces will be humbled before the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining. And he will have failed who carries injustice.

Wa ‘anatil wujoohu lil Haiiyil Qaiyoomi wa qad khaaba man hamala zulmaa

وعنت ٱلوجوه للحى ٱلقيوم وقد خاب من حمل ظلما

But he who does of righteous deeds while he is a believer - he will neither fear injustice nor deprivation.

Wa mai ya’mal minas saalihaati wa huwa mu’minun falaa yakhaafu zulmanw wa laa hadmaa

ومن يعمل من ٱلصـلحـت وهو مؤمن فلا يخاف ظلما ولا هضما

And thus We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur’ān and have diversified therein the warnings that perhaps they will avoid [sin] or it would cause them remembrance.

Wa kazaalika anzalnaahu Qur-aanan ‘Arabiyyanw wa sarrafnaa fee hi minal wa’eedi la’allahum yattaqoona aw yuhdisu lahum zikraa

وكذلك أنزلنـه قرءانا عربيا وصرفنا فيه من ٱلوعيد لعلهم يتقون أو يحدث لهم ذكرا

So high [above all] is Allāh, the Sovereign, the Truth. And, [O Muḥammad], do not hasten with [recitation of] the Qur’ān before its revelation is completed to you, and say, "My Lord, increase me in knowledge."

Fata’aalal laahul Malikul Haqq; wa laa ta’jal bil Quraani min qabli ai yuqdaaa ilaika wahyuhoo wa qur Rabbi zidnee ‘ilmaa

فتعـلى ٱلله ٱلملك ٱلحق ولا تعجل بٱلقرءان من قبل أن يقضى إليك وحيهۥ وقل رب زدنى علما

And We had already taken a promise from Adam before, but he forgot; and We found not in him determination.

Wa laqad ‘ahidnaaa ilaaa Aadama min qablu fanasiya wa lam najid lahoo ‘azmaa (section 6)

ولقد عهدنا إلى ءادم من قبل فنسى ولم نجد لهۥ عزما

And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except Iblees; he refused.

Wa iz qulnaa lilma laaa’ikatis judoo li Aadama fasajadooo illaaa Ibleesa; abaa

وإذ قلنا للملـئكة ٱسجدوا لـادم فسجدوا إلا إبليس أبى

So We said, "O Adam, indeed this is an enemy to you and to your wife. Then let him not remove you from Paradise so you would suffer.

Faqulnaa yaaa Aadamu inna haazaa ‘aduwwul laka wa lizawjika falaa yukhrijan nakumaa minal Jannati fatashqaa

فقلنا يــادم إن هـذا عدو لك ولزوجك فلا يخرجنكما من ٱلجنة فتشقى

Indeed, it is [promised] for you not to be hungry therein or be unclothed.

Innaa laka allaa tajoo’a feeha wa laa ta’raa

إن لك ألا تجوع فيها ولا تعرى

And indeed, you will not be thirsty therein or be hot from the sun."

Wa annaka laa tazma’u feehaa wa laa tadhaa

وأنك لا تظمؤا فيها ولا تضحى

Then Satan whispered to him; he said, "O Adam, shall I direct you to the tree of eternity and possession that will not deteriorate?"

Fa waswasa ilaihish Shaitaanu qaala yaaa Aadamu hal adulluka ‘alaa shajaratil khuldi wa mulkil laa yablaa

فوسوس إليه ٱلشيطـن قال يــادم هل أدلك على شجرة ٱلخلد وملك لا يبلى

And they [i.e., Adam and his wife] ate of it, and their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten over themselves from the leaves of Paradise. And Adam disobeyed his Lord and erred.

Fa akalaa minhaa fabadat lahumaa saw aatuhumaa wa tafiqaa yakhsifaani ‘alaihimaa minw waraqil jannah; wa ‘asaaa Aadamu Rabbahoo faghawaa

فأكلا منها فبدت لهما سوءتهما وطفقا يخصفان عليهما من ورق ٱلجنة وعصى ءادم ربهۥ فغوى

Then his Lord chose him and turned to him in forgiveness and guided [him].

Summaj tabbahu Rabbuhoo fataaba ‘alaihi wa hadaa

ثم ٱجتبـه ربهۥ فتاب عليه وهدى

[Allāh] said, "Descend from it [i.e., Paradise] - all, [your descendants] being enemies to one another. And if there should come to you guidance from Me - then whoever follows My guidance will neither go astray [in the world] nor suffer [in the Hereafter].

Qaalah bita minhaa jamee’am ba’dukum liba’din ‘aduww; fa immaa ya’tiyannakum minnee hudan famanit taba’a hudaaya falaa yadillu wa laa yashqaa

قال ٱهبطا منها جميعا بعضكم لبعض عدو فإما يأتينكم منى هدى فمن ٱتبع هداى فلا يضل ولا يشقى

And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have a depressed [i.e., difficult] life, and We will gather [i.e., raise] him on the Day of Resurrection blind."

Wa man a’rada ‘an Zikree fa inna lahoo ma’eeshatan dankanw wa nahshuruhoo Yawmal Qiyaamati a’maa

ومن أعرض عن ذكرى فإن لهۥ معيشة ضنكا ونحشرهۥ يوم ٱلقيـمة أعمى

He will say, "My Lord, why have you raised me blind while I was [once] seeing?"

Qaala Rabbi lima hashar tanee a’maa wa qad kuntu baseeraa

قال رب لم حشرتنى أعمى وقد كنت بصيرا

[Allāh] will say, "Thus did Our signs come to you, and you forgot [i.e., disregarded] them; and thus will you this Day be forgotten."

Qaala kazaalika atatka Aayaatunaa fanaseetahaa wa kazaalikal Yawma tunsaa

قال كذلك أتتك ءايـتنا فنسيتها وكذلك ٱليوم تنسى

And thus do We recompense he who transgressed and did not believe in the signs of his Lord. And the punishment of the Hereafter is more severe and more enduring.

Wa kazaalika najzee man asrafa wa lam yu’min bi Aayaati Rabbih; wa la’azaabul Aakhirati ashaddu wa abqaa

وكذلك نجزى من أسرف ولم يؤمن بـايـت ربهۦ ولعذاب ٱلـاخرة أشد وأبقى

Then, has it not become clear to them how many generations We destroyed before them as they walk among their dwellings? Indeed in that are signs for those of intelligence.

Afalam yahdi lahum kam ahlaknaa qablahum minal qurooni yamshoona fee masaakinihim; inna fee zaalika la Aayaatil li ulinnuhaa (section 7)

أفلم يهد لهم كم أهلكنا قبلهم من ٱلقرون يمشون فى مسـكنهم إن فى ذلك لـايـت لأولى ٱلنهى

And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, it [i.e., punishment] would have been an obligation [due immediately], and [if not for] a specified term [decreed].

Wa law laa Kalimatun sabaqat mir Rabbika lakaana lizaamanw wa ‘ajalun musammaa

ولولا كلمة سبقت من ربك لكان لزاما وأجل مسمى

So be patient over what they say and exalt [Allāh] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting; and during periods of the night [exalt Him] and at the ends of the day, that you may be satisfied.

Fasbir ‘alaa maa yaqooloona wa sabbih bihamdi Rabbika qabla tuloo’ish shamsi wa qabla ghuroobihaa wa min aanaaa’il laili fasabbih wa atraafan nahaari la ‘allaka tardaa

فٱصبر على ما يقولون وسبح بحمد ربك قبل طلوع ٱلشمس وقبل غروبها ومن ءانائ ٱليل فسبح وأطراف ٱلنهار لعلك ترضى

And do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [some] categories of them, [its being but] the splendor of worldly life by which We test them. And the provision of your Lord is better and more enduring.

Wa laa tamuddanna ‘ainaika ilaa ma matta’na biheee azwajam minhum zahratal hayaatid dunya linaftinahum feeh; wa rizqu Rabbika khairunw wa abqaa

ولا تمدن عينيك إلى ما متعنا بهۦ أزوجا منهم زهرة ٱلحيوة ٱلدنيا لنفتنهم فيه ورزق ربك خير وأبقى

And enjoin prayer upon your family [and people] and be steadfast therein. We ask you not for provision; We provide for you, and the [best] outcome is for [those of] righteousness.

Wa’mur ahlaka bis Salaati wastabir ‘alaihaa laa nas’aluka rizqaa; nahnu narzuquk; wal ‘aaqibatu littaqwaa

وأمر أهلك بٱلصلوة وٱصطبر عليها لا نسـلك رزقا نحن نرزقك وٱلعـقبة للتقوى

And they say, "Why does he not bring us a sign from his Lord?" Has there not come to them evidence of what was in the former scriptures?

Wa qaaloo law laa ya’teenaa bi aayatin mir Rabbih; awa lam ta’tihim baiyinatu maa fis suhufil oolaa

وقالوا لولا يأتينا بـاية من ربهۦ أولم تأتهم بينة ما فى ٱلصحف ٱلأولى

And if We had destroyed them with a punishment before him, they would have said, "Our Lord, why did You not send to us a messenger so we could have followed Your verses [i.e., teachings] before we were humiliated and disgraced?"

Wa law annaaa ahlaknaahum bi ‘azaabin min qablihee laqaaloo Rabbanaa law laaa arsalta ilainaa Rasoolan fanattabi’a Aayaatika min qabli an nazilla wa nakhzaa

ولو أنا أهلكنـهم بعذاب من قبلهۦ لقالوا ربنا لولا أرسلت إلينا رسولا فنتبع ءايـتك من قبل أن نذل ونخزى

Say, "Each [of us] is waiting; so wait. For you will know who are the companions of the sound path and who is guided."

Qul kullum mutarabbisun fa tarabbasoo fa sa ta’lamoona man Ashaabus Siraatis Sawiyyi wa manih tadaa (section 8) (End Juz 16)
