Yunus
(10:75) Then We sent after them Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh and his establishment with Our signs, but they behaved arrogantly and were a criminal people
(10:76) So when there came to them the truth from Us, they said, “Indeed, this is obvious magic.”
(10:77) Moses said, “Do you say [thus] about the truth when it has come to you? Is this magic? But magicians will not succeed.”
(10:78) They said, “Have you come to us to turn us away from that upon which we found our fathers and so that you two may have grandeur in the land? And we are not believers in you.”
(10:79) And Pharaoh said, “Bring to me every learned magician.”
(10:80) So when the magicians came, Moses said to them, “Throw down whatever you will throw.”
(10:81) And when they had thrown, Moses said, “What you have brought is [only] magic. Indeed, Allah will expose its worthlessness. Indeed, Allah does not amend the work of corrupters.
(10:82) And Allah will establish the truth by His words, even if the criminals dislike it.”
(10:83) But no one believed Moses, except [some] youths among his people, for fear of Pharaoh and his establishment that they would persecute them. And indeed, Pharaoh was haughty within the land, and indeed, he was of the transgressors
(10:84) And Moses said, “O my people, if you have believed in Allah, then rely upon Him, if you should be Muslims.”
(10:85) So they said, “Upon Allah do we rely. Our Lord, make us not [objects of] trial for the wrongdoing people
(10:86) And save us by Your mercy from the disbelieving people.”
(10:87) And We inspired to Moses and his brother, “Settle your people in Egypt in houses and make your houses [facing the] qiblah and establish prayer and give good tidings to the believers.”
(10:88) And Moses said, “Our Lord, indeed You have given Pharaoh and his establishment splendor and wealth in the worldly life, our Lord, that they may lead [men] astray from Your way. Our Lord, obliterate their wealth and harden their hearts so that they will not believe until they see the painful punishment.”
(10:89) [ Allah ] said, “Your supplication has been answered.” So remain on a right course and follow not the way of those who do not know.”
(10:90) And We took the Children of Israel across the sea, and Pharaoh and his soldiers pursued them in tyranny and enmity until, when drowning overtook him, he said, “I believe that there is no deity except that in whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am of the Muslims.”
(10:91) Now? And you had disobeyed [Him] before and were of the corrupters?
(10:92) So today We will save you in body that you may be to those who succeed you a sign. And indeed, many among the people, of Our signs, are heedless
(10:93) And We had certainty settled the Children of Israel in an agreeable settlement and provided them with good things. And they did not differ until [after] knowledge had come to them. Indeed, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ.
Al-A’raf
(7:103) Then We sent after them Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his establishment, but they were unjust toward them. So see how was the end of the corrupters.
(7:104) And Moses said, “O Pharaoh, I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds
(7:105) [Who is] obligated not to say about Allah except the truth. I have come to you with clear evidence from your Lord, so send with me the Children of Israel.”
(7:106) [Pharaoh] said, “If you have come with a sign, then bring it forth, if you should be of the truthful.”
(7:107) So Moses threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent, manifest.
(7:108) And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white [with radiance] for the observers.
(7:109) Said the eminent among the people of Pharaoh, “Indeed, this is a learned magician
(7:110) Who wants to expel you from your land [through magic], so what do you instruct?”
(7:111) They said, “Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers
(7:112) Who will bring you every learned magician.”
(7:113) And the magicians came to Pharaoh. They said, “Indeed for us is a reward if we are the predominant.”
(7:114) He said, “Yes, and, [moreover], you will be among those made near [to me].”
(7:115) They said, “O Moses, either you throw [your staff], or we will be the ones to throw [first].”
(7:116) He said, “Throw,” and when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people and struck terror into them, and they presented a great [feat of] magic.
(7:117) And We inspired to Moses, “Throw your staff,” and at once it devoured what they were falsifying.
(7:118) So the truth was established, and abolished was what they were doing.
(7:119) And Pharaoh and his people were overcome right there and became debased.
(7:120) And the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah].
(7:121) They said, “We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,
(7:122) The Lord of Moses and Aaron.”
(7:123) Said Pharaoh, “You believed in him before I gave you permission. Indeed, this is a conspiracy which you conspired in the city to expel therefrom its people. But you are going to know.
(7:124) I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides; then I will surely crucify you all.”
(7:125) They said, “Indeed, to our Lord we will return.
(7:126) And you do not resent us except because we believed in the signs of our Lord when they came to us. Our Lord, pour upon us patience and let us die as Muslims [in submission to You].”
(7:127) And the eminent among the people of Pharaoh said,” Will you leave Moses and his people to cause corruption in the land and abandon you and your gods?” [Pharaoh] said, “We will kill their sons and keep their women alive; and indeed, we are subjugators over them.”
(7:128) Said Moses to his people, “Seek help through Allah and be patient. Indeed, the earth belongs to Allah . He causes to inherit it whom He wills of His servants. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous.”
(7:129) They said, “We have been harmed before you came to us and after you have come to us.” He said, “Perhaps your Lord will destroy your enemy and grant you succession in the land and see how you will do.”
(7:130) And We certainly seized the people of Pharaoh with years of famine and a deficiency in fruits that perhaps they would be reminded.
(7:131) But when good came to them, they said, “This is ours [by right].” And if a bad [condition] struck them, they saw an evil omen in Moses and those with him. Unquestionably, their fortune is with Allah, but most of them do not know.
(7:132) And they said, “No matter what sign you bring us with which to bewitch us, we will not be believers in you.”
(7:133) So We sent upon them the flood and locusts and lice and frogs and blood as distinct signs, but they were arrogant and were a criminal people.
(7:134) And when the punishment descended upon them, they said, “O Moses, invoke for us your Lord by what He has promised you. If you [can] remove the punishment from us, we will surely believe you, and we will send with you the Children of Israel.”
(7:135) But when We removed the punishment from them until a term which they were to reach, then at once they broke their word.
(7:136) So We took retribution from them, and We drowned them in the sea because they denied Our signs and were heedless of them.
(7:137) And We caused the people who had been oppressed to inherit the eastern regions of the land and the western ones, which We had blessed. And the good word of your Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel because of what they had patiently endured. And We destroyed [all] that Pharaoh and his people were producing and what they had been building.
(7:138) And We took the Children of Israel across the sea; then they came upon a people intent in devotion to [some] idols of theirs. They said, “O Moses, make for us a god just as they have gods.” He said, “Indeed, you are a people behaving ignorantly.
(7:139) Indeed, those [worshippers] – destroyed is that in which they are [engaged], and worthless is whatever they were doing.”
(7:140) He said, “Is it other than Allah I should desire for you as a god while He has preferred you over the worlds?”
(7:141) And [recall, O Children of Israel], when We saved you from the people of Pharaoh, [who were] afflicting you with the worst torment – killing your sons and keeping your women alive. And in that was a great trial from your Lord.
(7:142) And We made an appointment with Moses for thirty nights and perfected them by [the addition of] ten; so the term of his Lord was completed as forty nights. And Moses said to his brother Aaron, “Take my place among my people, do right [by them], and do not follow the way of the corrupters.”
(7:143) And when Moses arrived at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, “My Lord, show me [Yourself] that I may look at You.” [ Allah ] said, “You will not see Me, but look at the mountain; if it should remain in place, then you will see Me.” But when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He rendered it level, and Moses fell unconscious. And when he awoke, he said, “Exalted are You! I have repented to You, and I am the first of the believers.”
(7:144) [ Allah ] said, “O Moses, I have chosen you over the people with My messages and My words [to you]. So take what I have given you and be among the grateful.”
(7:145) And We wrote for him on the tablets [something] of all things – instruction and explanation for all things, [saying], “Take them with determination and order your people to take the best of it. I will show you the home of the defiantly disobedient.”
(7:146) I will turn away from My signs those who are arrogant upon the earth without right; and if they should see every sign, they will not believe in it. And if they see the way of consciousness, they will not adopt it as a way; but if they see the way of error, they will adopt it as a way. That is because they have denied Our signs and they were heedless of them.
(7:147) Those who denied Our signs and the meeting of the Hereafter – their deeds have become worthless. Are they recompensed except for what they used to do?
(7:148) And the people of Moses made, after [his departure], from their ornaments a calf – an image having a lowing sound. Did they not see that it could neither speak to them nor guide them to a way? They took it [for worship], and they were wrongdoers.
(7:149) And when regret overcame them and they saw that they had gone astray, they said, “If our Lord does not have mercy upon us and forgive us, we will surely be among the losers.”
(7:150) And when Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved, he said, “How wretched is that by which you have replaced me after [my departure]. Were you impatient over the matter of your Lord?” And he threw down the tablets and seized his brother by [the hair of] his head, pulling him toward him. [Aaron] said, “O son of my mother, indeed the people oppressed me and were about to kill me, so let not the enemies rejoice over me and do not place me among the wrongdoing people.”
(7:151) [Moses] said, “My Lord, forgive me and my brother and admit us into Your mercy, for You are the most merciful of the merciful.”
(7:152) Indeed, those who took the calf [for worship] will obtain anger from their Lord and humiliation in the life of this world, and thus do We recompense the inventors [of falsehood].
(7:153) But those who committed misdeeds and then repented after them and believed – indeed your Lord, thereafter, is Forgiving and Merciful.
(7:154) And when the anger subsided in Moses, he took up the tablets; and in their inscription was guidance and mercy for those who are fearful of their Lord.
(7:155) And Moses chose from his people seventy men for Our appointment. And when the earthquake seized them, he said, “My Lord, if You had willed, You could have destroyed them before and me [as well]. Would You destroy us for what the foolish among us have done? This is not but Your trial by which You send astray whom You will and guide whom You will. You are our Protector, so forgive us and have mercy upon us; and You are the best of forgivers.
(7:156) And decree for us in this world [that which is] good and [also] in the Hereafter; indeed, we have turned back to You.” [ Allah ] said, “My punishment – I afflict with it whom I will, but My mercy encompasses all things.” So I will decree it [especially] for those who fear Me and give charity [zakah] and those who believe in Our verses –
