نَتلُو عَلَيكَ مِننَبَإِ مُوسَى وَفِرعَونَ بِالحَقِّ لِقَوم ٍ يُؤمِنُونَ

We recite to you some of the news of Musa (Moses) and Fir'aun (Pharaoh) in truth, for a people who believe (those who believe in this Qur'an, and in the Oneness of Allah).

Natlū `Alayka Min Naba'i Mūsá Wa Fir`awna Bil-Ĥaqqi Liqawmin Yu'uminūna

إِنَّ فِرعَونَ عَلاَ فِي الأَرضِ وَجَعَلَ أَهلَهَا شِيَعا ً يَستَضعِفُ طَائِفَة ً مِنهُم يُذَبِّحُ أَبْنَاءَهُم وَيَستَحيِي نِسَاءَهُم إِنَّه ُُ كَانَ مِنَ المُفسِدِينَ

Verily, Fir'aun (Pharaoh) exalted himself in the land and made its people sects, weakening (oppressing) a group (i.e. Children of Israel) among them, killing their sons, and letting their females live. Verily, he was of the Mufsidun (i.e. those who commit great sins and crimes, oppressors, tyrants, etc.).

And We wished to do a favour to those who were weak (and oppressed) in the land, and to make them rulers and to make them the inheritors,

And to establish them in the land, and We let Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and Haman and their hosts receive from them that which they feared.

And We inspired the mother of Musa (Moses), (saying): "Suckle him [Musa (Moses)], but when you fear for him, then cast him into the river and fear not, nor grieve. Verily! We shall bring him back to you, and shall make him one of (Our) Messengers."

Then the household of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) picked him up, that he might become for them an enemy and a (cause of) grief. Verily! Fir'aun (Pharaoh), Haman and their hosts were sinners.

And the wife of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said: "A comfort of the eye for me and for you. Kill him not, perhaps he may be of benefit to us, or we may adopt him as a son." And they perceive not (the result of that).

And the heart of the mother of Musa (Moses) became empty [from every thought, except the thought of Musa (Moses)]. She was very near to disclose his (case, i.e. the child is her son), had We not strengthened her heart (with Faith), so that she might remain as one of the believers.

And she said to his [Musa's (Moses)] sister: "Follow him." So she (his sister) watched him from a far place secretly, while they perceived not.

And We had already forbidden (other) foster suckling mothers for him, until she (his sister came up and) said: "Shall I direct you to a household who will rear him for you, and sincerely they will look after him in a good manner?"

So did We restore him to his mother, that she might be delighted, and that she might not grieve, and that she might know that the Promise of Allah is true. But most of them know not.

And when he attained his full strength, and was perfect (in manhood), We bestowed on him Hukman (Prophethood, right judgement of the affairs) and religious knowledge [of the religion of his forefathers i.e. Islamic Monotheism]. And thus do We reward the Muhsinun (i.e. good doers - see the footnote of V.9:120).

And he entered the city at a time of unawareness of its people, and he found there two men fighting, - one of his party (his religion - from the Children of Israel), and the other of his foes. The man of his (own) party asked him for help against his foe, so Musa (Moses) struck him with his fist and killed him. He said: "This is of Shaitan's (Satan) doing, verily, he is a plain misleading enemy."

He said: "My Lord! Verily, I have wronged myself, so forgive me." Then He forgave him. Verily, He is the Oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful.

Qala Rabbi 'Inni Žalamtu Nafsi Faghfir Li Faghafara Lahu 'Innahu Huwa Al-Ghafūru Ar-Raĥimu

He said: "My Lord! For that with which You have favoured me, I will never more be a helper for the Mujrimun (criminals, disobedient to Allah, polytheists, sinners, etc.)!"

Qala Rabbi Bima 'An`amta `Alayya Falan 'Akūna Žahiraan Lilmujrimina

So he became afraid, looking about in the city (waiting as to what will be the result of his crime of killing), when behold, the man who had sought his help the day before, called for his help (again). Musa (Moses) said to him: "Verily, you are a plain misleader!"

Then when he decided to seize the man who was an enemy to both of them, the man said: "O Musa (Moses)! Is it your intention to kill me as you killed a man yesterday? Your aim is nothing but to become a tyrant in the land, and not to be one of those who do right."

And when he arrived at the water of Madyan (Midian) he found there a group of men watering (their flocks), and besides them he found two women who were keeping back (their flocks). He said: "What is the matter with you?" They said: "We cannot water (our flocks) until the shepherds take (their flocks). And our father is a very old man."

وَجَعَلنَاهُم أَئِمَّة ً يَدْعُونَ إِلَى النَّارِ وَيَومَ القِيَامَةِ لاَ يُنصَرُونَ

And We made them leaders inviting to the Fire, and on the Day of Resurrection, they will not be helped.

وَأَتبَعنَاهُم فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا لَعنَة ً وَيَومَ القِيَامَةِ هُممِنَ المَقْبُوحِينَ

And We made a curse to follow them in this world, and on the Day of Resurrection, they will be among Al-Maqbuhun (those who are prevented to receive Allah's Mercy or any good, despised or destroyed, etc.).

And indeed We gave Musa (Moses), after We had destroyed the generations of old, the Scripture [the Taurat (Torah)] as an enlightenment for mankind, and a guidance and a mercy, that they might remember (or receive admonition).

And you (O Muhammad SAW) were not on the western side (of the Mount), when We made clear to Musa (Moses) the commandment, and you were not among those present.

Wa Ma Kunta Bijanibi Al-Gharbiyi 'Idh Qađayna 'Ilá Mūsá Al-'Amra Wa Ma Kunta Mina Ash-Shahidin

But We created generations [after generations i.e. after Musa (Moses) <><>], and long were the ages that passed over them. And you (O Muhammad SAW) were not a dweller among the people of Madyan (Midian), reciting Our Verses to them. But it is We Who kept sending (Messengers).

And you (O Muhammad SAW) were not at the side of the Tur (Mount) when We did call, [it is said that Allah called the followers of Muhammad SAW , and they answered His Call, or that Allah called Musa (Moses)]. But (you are sent) as a mercy from your Lord, to give warning to a people to whom no warner had come before you, in order that they may remember or receive admonition. [Tafsir At-Tabari, Vol. 20, Page 81].

And if (We had) not (sent you to the people of Makkah) in case a calamity should seize them for (the deeds) that their hands have sent forth, they should have said: "Our Lord! Why did You not send us a Messenger? We should then have followed Your Ayat (Verses of the Qur'an) and should have been among the believers."

But when the truth (i.e. Muhammad SAW with his Message) has come to them from Us, they say: "Why is he not given the like of what was given to Musa (Moses)? Did they not disbelieve in that which was given to Musa (Moses) of old? They say: "Two kinds of magic [the Taurat (Torah) and the Qur'an] each helping the other!" And they say: "Verily! In both we are disbelievers."

Say (to them, O Muhammad SAW): "Then bring a Book from Allah, which is a better guide than these two [the Taurat (Torah) and the Qur'an], that I may follow it, if you are truthful."

But if they answer you not (i.e. do not believe in your doctrine of Islamic Monotheism, nor follow you), then know that they only follow their own lusts. And who is more astray than one who follows his own lusts, without guidance from Allah? Verily! Allah guides not the people who are Zalimun (wrong-doers, disobedient to Allah, and polytheists).

Those to whom We gave the Scripture [i.e. the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), etc.] before it, - they believe in it (the Qur'an).

And when it is recited to them, they say: "We believe in it. Verily, it is the truth from our Lord. Indeed even before it we have been from those who submit themselves to Allah in Islam as Muslims (like 'Abdullah bin Salam and Salman Al-Farisi, etc.).

Wa 'Idha Yutlá `Alayhim Qalū 'Āmanna Bihi 'Innahu Al-Ĥaqqu Min Rabbina 'Inna Kunna Min Qablihi Muslimina

These will be given their reward twice over, because they are patient, and repel evil with good, and spend (in charity) out of what We have provided them.

And when they hear Al­Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk), they withdraw from it and say: "To us our deeds, and to you your deeds. Peace be to you. We seek not the ignorant."

And they say: "If we follow the guidance with you, we would be snatched away from our land." Have We not established for them a secure sanctuary (Makkah), to which are brought fruits of all kinds, a provision from Ourselves, but most of them know not.

And how many a town (population) have We destroyed, which were thankless for its means of livelihood (disobeyed Allah, and His Messengers, by doing evil deeds and crimes) ! And those are their dwellings, which have not been inhabited after them except a little. And verily! We have been the inheritors.

And never will your Lord destroy the towns (populations) until He sends to their mother town a Messenger reciting to them Our Verses. And never would We destroy the towns unless the people thereof are Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, oppressors and tyrants).

Verily, Qarun (Korah) was of Musa's (Moses) people, but he behaved arrogantly towards them. And We gave him of the treasures, that of which the keys would have been a burden to a body of strong men. When his people said to him: "Do not be glad (with ungratefulness to Allah's Favours). Verily! Allah likes not those who are glad (with ungratefulness to Allah's Favours).

But seek, with that (wealth) which Allah has bestowed on you, the home of the Hereafter, and forget not your portion of legal enjoyment in this world, and do good as Allah has been good to you, and seek not mischief in the land. Verily, Allah likes not the Mufsidun (those who commit great crimes and sins, oppressors, tyrants, mischief-makers, corrupts).

He said: "This has been given to me only because of knowledge I possess." Did he not know that Allah had destroyed before him generations, men who were stronger than him in might and greater in the amount (of riches) they had collected. But the Mujrimun (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, etc.) will not be questioned of their sins (because Allah knows them well, so they will be punished without account).

So he went forth before his people in his pomp. Those who were desirous of the life of the world, said: "Ah, would that we had the like of what Qarun (Korah) has been given? Verily! He is the owner of a great fortune."

So We caused the earth to swallow him and his dwelling place. Then he had no group or party to help him against Allah, nor was he one of those who could save themselves.

Fakhasafna Bihi Wa Bidarihi Al-'Arđa Fama Kana Lahu Min Fi'atin Yanşurūnahu Min Dūni Allahi Wa Ma Kana Mina Al-Muntaşirina

وَأَصبَحَ الَّذِينَ تَمَنَّوا مَكَانَه ُُ بِالأَمسِ يَقُولُونَ وَيكَأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزقَ لِمَنيَشَاءُ مِن عِبَادِه ِِ وَيَقْدِرُ لَولاَ أَنمَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَينَا لَخَسَفَ بِنَا وَيكَأَنَّهُ لاَ يُفلِحُ الكَافِرُونَ

And those who had desired (for a position like) his position the day before, began to say: "Know you not that it is Allah Who enlarges the provision or restricts it to whomsoever He pleases of His slaves. Had it not been that Allah was Gracious to us, He could have caused the earth to swallow us up (also)! Know you not that the disbelievers will never be successful.

Wa 'Aşbaĥa Al-Ladhina Tamannaw Makanahu Bil-'Amsi Yaqūlūna Wayka'anna Allaha Yabsuţu Ar-Rizqa Liman Yasha'u Min `Ibadihi Wa Yaqdiru Lawla 'An Manna Allahu `Alayna Lakhasafa Bina Wayka'annahu La Yufliĥu Al-Kafirūna

تِلكَ الدَّارُ الآخِرَةُ نَجْعَلُهَا لِلَّذِينَ لاَ يُرِيدُونَ عُلُوّا ً فِي الأَرضِ وَلاَ فَسَادا ً وَالعَاقِبَةُ لِلمُتَّقِينَ

That home of the Hereafter (i.e. Paradise), We shall assign to those who rebel not against the truth with pride and oppression in the land nor do mischief by committing crimes. And the good end is for the Muttaqun (pious - see V.2:2).

Tilka Ad-Daru Al-'Ākhiratu Naj`aluha Lilladhina La Yuridūna `Ulūwaan Fi Al-'Arđi Wa La Fasadaan Wa Al-`Āqibatu Lilmuttaqina

مَنجَاءَ بِالحَسَنَةِ فَلَه ُُ خَير ٌ مِنهَا وَمَنجَاءَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَلاَ يُجْزَى الَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا السَّيِّئَاتِ إِلاَّ مَا كَانُوا يَعمَلُونَ

Whosoever brings good (Islamic Monotheism along with righteous deeds), he shall have the better thereof, and whosoever brings evil (polytheism along with evil deeds) then, those who do evil deeds will only be requited for what they used to do.

Man Ja'a Bil-Ĥasanati Falahu Khayrun Minha Wa Man Ja'a Bis-Sayyi'ati Fala Yujzá Al-Ladhina `Amilū As-Sayyi'ati 'Illa Ma Kanū Ya`malūna

إِنَّ الَّذِي فَرَضَ عَلَيكَ القُرآنَ لَرَادُّكَ إِلَى مَعَاد ٍ قُل رَبِّي أَعلَمُ مَنجَاءَ بِالهُدَى وَمَن هُوَ فِي ضَلاَل ٍ مُبِين ٍ

Verily, He Who has given you (O Muhammad SAW) the Qur'an (i.e. ordered you to act on its laws and to preach it to others) will surely bring you back to the Ma'ad (place of return, either to Makkah or to Paradise after your death, etc.). Say (O Muhammad SAW): "My Lord is Aware of him who brings guidance, and he who is in manifest error."

'Inna Al-Ladhi Farađa `Alayka Al-Qur'ana Laradduka 'Ilá Ma`adin Qul Rabbi 'A`lamu Man Ja'a Bil-Hudá Wa Man Huwa Fi Đalalin Mubinin

وَمَا كُنتَ تَرجُوا أَنيُلقَى إِلَيكَ الكِتَابُ إِلاَّ رَحمَة ً مِنرَبِّكَ فَلاَ تَكُونَنَّ ظَهِيرا ً لِلكَافِرِينَ

And you were not expecting that the Book (this Qur'an) would be sent down to you, but it is a mercy from your Lord. So never be a supporter of the disbelievers.

Wa Ma Kunta Tarjū 'An Yulqá 'Ilayka Al-Kitabu 'Illa Raĥmatan Min Rabbika Fala Takūnanna Žahiraan Lilkafirina

وَلاَ يَصُدُّنَّكَ عَنآيَاتِ اللَّهِ بَعدَ إِذ أُنزِلَت إِلَيكَ وَادْعُ إِلَى رَبِّكَ وَلاَ تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ المُشرِكِينَ

And let them not turn you (O Muhammad SAW) away from (preaching) the Ayat (revelations and verses) of Allah after they have been sent down to you, and invite (men) to (believe in) your Lord [i.e: in the Oneness (Tauhid) of Allah (1) Oneness of the Lordship of Allah; (2) Oneness of the worship of Allah; (3) Oneness of the Names and Qualities of Allah], and be not of Al-Mushrikun (those who associate partners with Allah, e.g. polytheists, pagans, idolaters, those who disbelieve in the Oneness of Allah and deny the Prophethood of Messenger Muhammad SAW).

Wa La Yaşuddunnaka `An 'Āyati Allahi Ba`da 'Idh 'Unzilat 'Ilayka Wa Ad`u 'Ilá Rabbika Wa La Takūnanna Mina Al-Mushrikina

وَلاَ تَدْعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَها ً آخَرَ لاَ إِلَهَ~َ إِلاَّ هُوَ كُلُّ شَيءٍ هَالِك ٌ إِلاَّ وَجْهَه ُُ لَهُ الحُكمُ وَإِلَيهِ تُرجَعُونَ

And invoke not any other ilah (god) along with Allah, La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). Everything will perish save His Face. His is the Decision, and to Him you (all) shall be returned.
