In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Maryam
(19:51) And mention in the Book, Moses. Indeed, he was chosen, and he was a messenger and a prophet.
(19:52) And We called him from the side of the mount at [his] right and brought him near, confiding [to him].
(19:53) And We gave him out of Our mercy his brother Aaron as a prophet.
Al-Anbiya
(21:48) And We had already given Moses and Aaron the criterion and a light and a reminder for the righteous
(21:49) Who fear their Lord unseen, while they are of the Hour apprehensive.
Al-Qasas
(28:29) And when Moses had completed the term and was traveling with his family, he perceived from the direction of the mount a fire. He said to his family, “Stay here; indeed, I have perceived a fire. Perhaps I will bring you from there [some] information or burning wood from the fire that you may warm yourselves.”
(28:30) But when he came to it, he was called from the right side of the valley in a blessed spot – from the tree, “O Moses, indeed I am Allah, Lord of the worlds.”
(28:31) And [he was told], “Throw down your staff.” But when he saw it writhing as if it was a snake, he turned in flight and did not return. [Allah said], “O Moses, approach and fear not. Indeed, you are of the secure.
(28:32) Insert your hand into the opening of your garment; it will come out white, without disease. And draw in your arm close to you [as prevention] from fear, for those are two proofs from your Lord to Pharaoh and his establishment. Indeed, they have been a people defiantly disobedient.”
(28:33) He said, “My Lord, indeed, I killed from among them someone, and I fear they will kill me.
(28:34) And my brother Aaron is more fluent than me in tongue, so send him with me as support, verifying me. Indeed, I fear that they will deny me.”
(28:35) [Allah ] said, “We will strengthen your arm through your brother and grant you both supremacy so they will not reach you. [It will be] through Our signs; you and those who follow you will be the predominant.”
TuaHa
(20:9) And has the story of Moses reached you? –
(20:10) When he saw a fire and said to his family, “Stay here; indeed, I have perceived a fire; perhaps I can bring you a torch or find at the fire some guidance.”
(20:11) And when he came to it, he was called, “O Moses,
(20:12) Indeed, I am your Lord, so remove your sandals. Indeed, you are in the sacred valley of Tuwa.
(20:13) And I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed [to you].
(20:14) Indeed, I am Allah. There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance.
(20:15) Indeed, the Hour is coming – I almost conceal it – so that every soul may be recompensed according to that for which it strives.
(20:16) So do not let one avert you from it who does not believe in it and follows his desire, for you [then] would perish.
(20:17) And what is that in your right hand, O Moses?”
(20:18) He said, “It is my staff; I lean upon it, and I bring down leaves for my sheep and I have therein other uses.”
(20:19) [ Allah ] said, “Throw it down, O Moses.”
(20:20) So he threw it down, and thereupon it was a snake, moving swiftly.
(20:21) [ Allah ] said, “Seize it and fear not; We will return it to its former condition.
(20:22) And draw in your hand to your side; it will come out white without disease – another sign,
(20:23) That We may show you [some] of Our greater signs.
(20:24) Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.”
(20:25) [Moses] said, “My Lord, expand for me my breast [with assurance]
(20:26) And ease for me my task
(20:27) And untie the knot from my tongue
(20:28) That they may understand my speech.
(20:29) And appoint for me a minister from my family –
(20:30) Aaron, my brother.
(20:31) Increase through him my strength
(20:32) And let him share my task
(20:33) That we may exalt You much
(20:34) And remember You much.
(20:35) Indeed, You are of us ever Seeing.”
(20:36) [ Allah ] said, “You have been granted your request, O Moses.
(20:37) And We had already conferred favor upon you another time,
(20:38) When We inspired to your mother what We inspired,
(20:39) [Saying], ‘Cast him into the chest and cast it into the river, and the river will throw it onto the bank; there will take him an enemy to Me and an enemy to him.’ And I bestowed upon you love from Me that you would be brought up under My eye.
(20:40) [And We favored you] when your sister went and said, ‘Shall I direct you to someone who will be responsible for him?’ So We restored you to your mother that she might be content and not grieve. And you killed someone, but We saved you from retaliation and tried you with a [severe] trial. And you remained [some] years among the people of Madyan. Then you came [here] at the decreed time, O Moses.
(20:41) And I produced you for Myself.
(20:42) Go, you and your brother, with My signs and do not slacken in My remembrance.
(20:43) Go, both of you, to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.
(20:44) And speak to him with gentle speech that perhaps he may be reminded or fear [ Allah ].”
(20:45) They said, “Our Lord, indeed we are afraid that he will hasten [punishment] against us or that he will transgress.”
(20:46) [ Allah ] said, “Fear not. Indeed, I am with you both; I hear and I see.
(20:47) So go to him and say, ‘Indeed, we are messengers of your Lord, so send with us the Children of Israel and do not torment them. We have come to you with a sign from your Lord. And peace will be upon he who follows the guidance.
(20:48) Indeed, it has been revealed to us that the punishment will be upon whoever denies and turns away.’ ”
(20:49) [Pharaoh] said, “So who is the Lord of you two, O Moses?”
(20:50) He said, “Our Lord is He who gave each thing its form and then guided [it].”
(20:51) [Pharaoh] said, “Then what is the case of the former generations?”
(20:52) [Moses] said, “The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a record. My Lord neither errs nor forgets.”
(20:53) [It is He] who has made for you the earth as a bed [spread out] and inserted therein for you roadways and sent down from the sky, rain and produced thereby categories of various plants.
(20:54) Eat [therefrom] and pasture your livestock. Indeed, in that are signs for those of intelligence.
(20:55) From the earth We created you, and into it We will return you, and from it We will extract you another time.
(20:56) And We certainly showed Pharaoh Our signs – all of them – but he denied and refused.
(20:57) He said, “Have you come to us to drive us out of our land with your magic, O Moses?
(20:58) 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.”
(20:59) [Moses] said, “Your appointment is on the day of the festival when the people assemble at mid-morning.”
(20:60) So Pharaoh went away, put together his plan, and then came [to Moses].
(20:61) Moses said to the magicians summoned by Pharaoh, “Woe to you! Do not invent a lie against Allah or He will exterminate you with a punishment; and he has failed who invents [such falsehood].”
(20:62) So they disputed over their affair among themselves and concealed their private conversation.
(20:63) 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.
(20:64) So resolve upon your plan and then come [forward] in line. And he has succeeded today who overcomes.”
(20:65) They said, “O Moses, either you throw or we will be the first to throw.”
(20:66) He said, “Rather, you throw.” And suddenly their ropes and staffs seemed to him from their magic that they were moving [like snakes].
(20:67) And he sensed within himself apprehension, did Moses.
(20:68) Allah said, “Fear not. Indeed, it is you who are superior.
(20:69) 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.”
(20:70) So the magicians fell down in prostration. They said, “We have believed in the Lord of Aaron and Moses.”
(20:71) [Pharaoh] said, “You believed him 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.”
(20:72) 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.
(20:73) Indeed, we have believed in our Lord that He may forgive us our sins and what you compelled us [to do] of magic. And Allah is better and more enduring.”
(20:74) Indeed, whoever comes to his Lord as a criminal – indeed, for him is Hell; he will neither die therein nor live.
(20:75) But whoever comes to Him as a believer having done righteous deeds – for those will be the highest degrees [in position]:
(20:76) Gardens of perpetual residence beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. And that is the reward of one who purifies himself.
(20:77) 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].”
(20:78) So Pharaoh pursued them with his soldiers, and there covered them from the sea that which covered them,
(20:79) And Pharaoh led his people astray and did not guide [them].
(20:80) 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,
(20:81) [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.”
(20:82) But indeed, I am the Perpetual Forgiver of whoever repents and believes and does righteousness and then continues in guidance.
(20:83) [ Allah ] said, “And what made you hasten from your people, O Moses?”
(20:84) He said, “They are close upon my tracks, and I hastened to You, my Lord, that You be pleased.”
(20:85) [ Allah ] said, “But indeed, We have tried your people after you [departed], and the Samiri has led them astray.”
(20:86) 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?”
(20:87) 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 Samiri throw.”
(20:88) 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.”
(20:89) Did they not see that it could not return to them any speech and that it did not possess for them any harm or benefit?
(20:90) 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.”
(20:91) They said, “We will never cease being devoted to the calf until Moses returns to us.”
(20:92) [Moses] said, “O Aaron, what prevented you, when you saw them going astray,
(20:93) From following me? Then have you disobeyed my order?”
(20:94) [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.’ ”
(20:95) [Moses] said, “And what is your case, O Samiri?”
(20:96) He said, “I saw what they did not see, so I took a handful [of dust] from the track of the messenger and threw it, and thus did my soul entice me.”
(20:97) [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 into the sea with a blast.
(20:98) Your god is only Allah, except for whom there is no deity. He has encompassed all things in knowledge.”
