| Tilka 'Āyātu Al-Kitābi Al-Mubīni | These are the verses of the Glorious Book that makes the things clear.[28.2] | تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ |
| Natlū `Alayka Min Naba'i Mūsá Wa Fir`awna Bil-Ĥaqqi Liqawmin Yu'uminūna | In all truth, We narrate to you some information about Musa (Moses) and Fir'on (Pharaoh) for the instruction of the believers.[28.3] | نَتْلُو عَلَيْكَ مِنْ نَبَإِ مُوسَى وَفِرْعَوْنَ بِالْحَقِّ لِقَوْم ٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ |
| 'Inna Fir`awna `Alā Fī Al-'Arđi Wa Ja`ala 'Ahlahā Shiya`āan Yastađ`ifu Ţā'ifatan Minhum Yudhabbiĥu 'Abnā'ahum Wa Yastaĥyī Nisā'ahum 'Innahu Kāna Mina Al-Mufsidīna | The fact is that Fir'on elevated himself in the land and divided its residents into groups, one group of which he persecuted, putting their sons to death and sparing only their females. Indeed he was one of the mischief-makers.[28.4] | إِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ عَلاَ فِي الأَرْضِ وَجَعَلَ أَهْلَهَا شِيَعا ً يَسْتَضْعِفُ طَائِفَة ً مِنْهُمْ يُذَبِّحُ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ وَيَسْتَحْيِي نِسَاءَهُمْ إِنَّه ُُ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ |
| Wa Nurīdu 'An Namunna `Alá Al-Ladhīna Astuđ`ifū Fī Al-'Arđi Wa Naj`alahum 'A'immatan Wa Naj`alahumu Al-Wārithīna | But We wanted to favor those who were oppressed in the land, and make them leaders, and make them the heirs,[28.5] | وَنُرِيدُ أَنْ نَمُنَّ عَلَى الَّذِينَ اسْتُضْعِفُوا فِي الأَرْضِ وَنَجْعَلَهُمْ أَئِمَّة ً وَنَجْعَلَهُمُ الْوَارِثِينَ |
| Wa Numakkina Lahum Fī Al-'Arđi Wa Nuriya Fir`awna Wa Hāmāna Wa Junūdahumā Minhum Mā Kānū Yaĥdharūna | establish them in the land, and show Fir'on, Hamمn and their warriors at their hands the same which they feared.[28.6] | وَنُمَكِّنَ لَهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ وَنُرِيَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامَانَ وَجُنُودَهُمَا مِنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَحْذَرُونَ |
| Wa 'Awĥaynā 'Ilá 'Ummi Mūsá 'An 'Arđi`īhi Fa'idhā Khifti `Alayhi Fa'alqīhi Fī Al-Yammi Wa Lā Takhāfī Wa Lā Taĥzanī 'Innā Rāddūhu 'Ilayki Wa Jā`ilūhu Mina Al-Mursalīna | So We revealed Our will to the mother of Musa: “Suckle him, and when you feel any danger to his life, cast him into the river without any fear or grief; for We shall certainly restore him to you and make him one of Our Rasools."[28.7] | وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى أُمِّ مُوسَى أَنْ أَرْضِعِيه ِِ فَإِذَا خِفْتِ عَلَيْهِ فَأَلْقِيه ِِ فِي الْيَمِّ وَلاَ تَخَافِي وَلاَ تَحْزَنِي إِنَّا رَادُّوهُ~ُ إِلَيْكِ وَجَاعِلُوه ُُ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ |
| Fāltaqaţahu 'Ālu Fir`awna Liyakūna Lahum `Adūwāan Wa Ĥazanāan 'Inna Fir`awna Wa Hāmāna Wa Junūdahumā Kānū Khāţi'īna | We made Fir'on’s family pick him up from the river: it was intended that Musa may become their adversary and a cause of their sorrow; for Fir'on, Hamمn and their warriors were all sinners.[28.8] | فَالْتَقَطَهُ آلُ فِرْعَوْنَ لِيَكُونَ لَهُمْ عَدُوّا ً وَحَزَنا ً إِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامَانَ وَجُنُودَهُمَا كَانُوا خَاطِئِينَ |
| Wa Qālat Amra'atu Fir`awna Qurratu `Aynin Lī Wa Laka Lā Taqtulūhu `Asá 'An Yanfa`anā 'Aw Nattakhidhahu Waladāan Wa Hum Lā Yash`urūna | The wife of Fir'on said: “This child may become the comfort of the eyes for me and for you. Do not kill him. He may prove useful to us or it may be that we will adopt him as our son." They were unaware of the result of what they were doing.[28.9] | وَقَالَتْ امْرَأَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ قُرَّةُ عَيْن ٍ لِي وَلَكَ لاَ تَقْتُلُوه ُُ عَسَى أَنْ يَنفَعَنَا أَوْ نَتَّخِذَه ُُ وَلَدا ً وَهُمْ لاَ يَشْعُرُونَ |
| Wa 'Aşbaĥa Fu'uādu 'Ummi Mūsá Fārighāan 'In Kādat Latubdī Bihi Lawlā 'An Rabaţnā `Alá Qalbihā Litakūna Mina Al-Mu'uminīna | On the other hand, the heart of Musa’s mother was sorely troubled. She would have disclosed as to who he was, had We not strengthened her heart so that she might become one of the true believers.[28.10] | وَأَصْبَحَ فُؤَادُ أُمِّ مُوسَى فَارِغا ً إِنْ كَادَتْ لَتُبْدِي بِه ِِ لَوْلاَ أَنْ رَبَطْنَا عَلَى قَلْبِهَا لِتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ |
| Wa Qālat Li'khtihi Quşşīhi Fabaşurat Bihi `An Junubin Wa Hum Lā Yash`urūna | She said to Musa’s sister: “Go, and follow him." So she (Musa's sister) watched him from a distance in such a way that the others did not notice it.[28.11] | وَقَالَتْ لِأخْتِه ِِ قُصِّيه ِِ فَبَصُرَتْ بِه ِِ عَنْ جُنُب ٍ وَهُمْ لاَ يَشْعُرُونَ |
| Wa Ĥarramnā `Alayhi Al-Marāđi`a Min Qablu Faqālat Hal 'Adullukum `Alá 'Ahli Baytin Yakfulūnahu Lakum Wa Hum Lahu Nāşiĥūna | We had already ordained that he would refuse to suck any foster mother. His sister came to Fir'on's wife and said: “Shall I point out to you a house whose people will take care of him for you and they will be sincere to him?”[28.12] | وَحَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِ الْمَرَاضِعَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَقَالَتْ هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْت ٍ يَكْفُلُونَه ُُ لَكُمْ وَهُمْ لَه ُُ نَاصِحُونَ |
| Faradadnāhu 'Ilá 'Ummihi Kay Taqarra `Aynuhā Wa Lā Taĥzana Wa Lita`lama 'Anna Wa`da Al-Lahi Ĥaqqun Wa Lakinna 'Aktharahum Lā Ya`lamūna | Thus did We restore him to his mother that her eye might be comforted, that she might not grieve and that she might know that the promise of Allah is true. Yet most of the people do not understand.[28.13] | فَرَدَدْنَاهُ~ُ إِلَى أُمِّه ِِ كَيْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلاَ تَحْزَنَ وَلِتَعْلَمَ أَنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقّ ٌ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ |
| Wa Lammā Balagha 'Ashuddahu Wa Astawá 'Ātaynāhu Ĥukmāan Wa `Ilmāan Wa Kadhalika Najzī Al-Muĥsinīna | When he reached maturity and became full-grown, We bestowed on him wisdom and knowledge. Thus do We reward the righteous.[28.14] | وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّه ُُ وَاسْتَوَى آتَيْنَاه ُُ حُكْما ً وَعِلْما ً وَكَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ |
| Wa Dakhala Al-Madīnata `Alá Ĥīni Ghaflatin Min 'Ahlihā Fawajada Fīhā Rajulayni Yaqtatilāni Hādhā Min Shī`atihi Wa Hadhā Min `Adūwihi Fāstaghāthahu Al-Ladhī Min Shī`atihi `Alá Al-Ladhī Min `Adūwihi Fawakazahu Mūsá Faqađá `Alayhi Qāla Hādhā Min `Amali Ash-Shayţāni 'Innahu `Adūwun Muđillun Mubīnun | One day he entered the city at a time when its people were not yet active, he found two men reaching to each others throats; one was from his own race and the other of his foes. The man of his own race appealed for his help against his foe, whereupon Musa gave his foe a blow which killed him. On seeing what he has done he said: “This is the work of Shaitمn, surely he is an enemy that openly misleads."[28.15] | وَدَخَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ عَلَى حِينِ غَفْلَة ٍ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا فَوَجَدَ فِيهَا رَجُلَيْنِ يَقْتَتِلاَنِ هَذَا مِنْ شِيعَتِه ِِ وَهَذَا مِنْ عَدُوِّه ِِ فَاسْتَغَاثَهُ الَّذِي مِنْ شِيعَتِه ِِ عَلَى الَّذِي مِنْ عَدُوِّه ِِ فَوَكَزَه ُُ مُوسَى فَقَضَى عَلَيْهِ قَالَ هَذَا مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ إِنَّه ُُ عَدُوّ ٌ مُضِلّ ٌ مُبِين ٌ |
| Qāla Rabbi 'Innī Žalamtu Nafsī Fāghfir Lī Faghafara Lahu 'Innahu Huwa Al-Ghafūru Ar-Raĥīmu | Then he prayed: “O my Rabb! I have indeed wronged my soul, please forgive me." So Allah forgave him, surely He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.[28.16] | قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَغَفَرَ لَهُ~ُ إِنَّه ُُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ |
| Qāla Rabbi Bimā 'An`amta `Alayya Falan 'Akūna Žahīrāan Lilmujrimīna | Musa promised: “O my Rabb! After this favor that You have bestowed on me, I shall never be a helping hand to the criminals."[28.17] | قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَا أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ فَلَنْ أَكُونَ ظَهِيرا ً لِلْمُجْرِمِينَ |
| Fa'aşbaĥa Fī Al-Madīnati Khā'ifāan Yataraqqabu Fa'idhā Al-Ladhī Astanşarahu Bil-'Amsi Yastaşrikhuhu Qāla Lahu Mūsá 'Innaka Laghawīyun Mubīnun | Next morning as he was walking in the city in fear and caution, suddenly he saw the same man whom he had helped the day before cried out to him again for help. Musa replied: “You are certainly a misguided person."[28.18] | فَأَصْبَحَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ خَائِفا ً يَتَرَقَّبُ فَإِذَا الَّذِي اسْتَنصَرَه ُُ بِالأَمْسِ يَسْتَصْرِخُه ُُ قَالَ لَه ُُ مُوسَى إِنَّكَ لَغَوِيّ ٌ مُبِين ٌ |

Do you intend to kill me as you killed a person yesterday? You only want to become a tyrant in the land and have no intention of reforming anything."[28.19] | فَلَمَّا أَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَبْطِشَ بِالَّذِي هُوَ عَدُوّ ٌ لَهُمَا قَالَ يَامُوسَى أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تَقْتُلَنِي كَمَا قَتَلْتَ نَفْسا ً بِالأَمْسِ إِنْ تُرِيدُ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَكُونَ جَبَّارا ً فِي الأَرْضِ وَمَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُصْلِحِينَ |
| Wa Jā'a Rajulun Min 'Aqşá Al-Madīnati Yas`á Qāla Yā Mūsá 'Inna Al-Mala'a Ya'tamirūna Bika Liyaqtulūka Fākhruj 'Innī Laka Mina An-Nāşiĥīna | At that time, there came a man running from the other end of the city and said: “O Musa! The chiefs are plotting to kill you, therefore, run away, surely I am your well wisher."[28.20] | وَجَاءَ رَجُل ٌ مِنْ أَقْصَى الْمَدِينَةِ يَسْعَى قَالَ يَامُوسَى إِنَّ الْمَلَأَ يَأْتَمِرُونَ بِكَ لِيَقْتُلُوكَ فَاخْرُجْ إِنِّي لَكَ مِنَ النَّاصِحِينَ |
| Fakharaja Minhā Khā'ifāan Yataraqqabu Qāla Rabbi Najjinī Mina Al-Qawmi Až-Žālimīna | Hearing this, Musa left that place in fear and caution, praying: “O my Rabb! Deliver me from the nation of wrongdoers."[28.21] | فَخَرَجَ مِنْهَا خَائِفا ً يَتَرَقَّبُ قَالَ رَبِّ نَجِّنِي مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ |
| Wa Lammā Tawajjaha Tilqā'a Madyana Qāla `Asá Rabbī 'An Yahdiyanī Sawā'a As-Sabīl | As he made his way towards Madyan, he said: “Soon my Rabb shall guide me to the Right Way."[28.22] | وَلَمَّا تَوَجَّه ََ تِلْقَاءَ مَدْيَنَ قَالَ عَسَى رَبِّي أَنْ يَهْدِيَنِي سَوَاءَ السَّبِيل |
| Wa Lammā Warada Mā'a Madyana Wajada `Alayhi 'Ummatan Mina An-Nāsi Yasqūna Wa Wajada Min Dūnihimu Amra'tayni Tadhūdāni Qāla Mā Khaţbukumā Qālatā Lā Nasqī Ĥattá Yuşdira Ar-Ri`ā'u Wa 'Abūnā Shaykhun Kabīrun | When he arrived at the well of Madyan, he saw a multitude of men watering their flocks, and besides them two women who were keeping their flocks back. He asked: “What is the problem?” They replied: “We cannot water our flocks until the shepherds take away their flocks from the water, because we are weak and our father is a very old man."[28.23] | وَلَمَّا وَرَدَ مَاءَ مَدْيَنَ وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ أُمَّة ً مِنَ النَّاسِ يَسْقُونَ وَوَجَدَ مِنْ دُونِهِمُ امْرَأتَيْنِ تَذُودَانِ قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُمَا قَالَتَا لاَ نَسْقِي حَتَّى يُصْدِرَ الرِّعَاءُ وَأَبُونَا شَيْخ ٌ كَبِير ٌ |
| Fasaqá Lahumā Thumma Tawallá 'Ilá Až-Žilli Faqāla Rabbi 'Innī Limā 'Anzalta 'Ilayya Min Khayrin Faqīrun | So he watered their flocks for them and went back to the shade and prayed: “O Rabb! Surely I am in desperate need of whatever good that You may send down to me."[28.24] | فَسَقَى لَهُمَا ثُمَّ تَوَلَّى إِلَى الظِّلِّ فَقَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي لِمَا أَنزَلْتَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْر ٍ فَقِير ٌ |
| Fajā'at/hu 'Iĥdāhumā Tamshī `Alá Astiĥyā'in Qālat 'Inna 'Abī Yad`ūka Liyajziyaka 'Ajra Mā Saqayta Lanā Falammā Jā'ahu Wa Qaşşa `Alayhi Al-Qaşaşa Qāla Lā Takhaf Najawta Mina Al-Qawmi Až-Žālimīna | Soon after that, one of the two women came to him walking bashfully and said: “My father is calling you. He wishes to reward you for watering our flocks for us." When Musa came to him and narrated his story, the old man said: “Have no fear. You have escaped from those wicked people."[28.25] | فَجَاءَتْهُ إِحْدَاهُمَا تَمْشِي عَلَى اسْتِحْيَاء ٍ قَالَتْ إِنَّ أَبِي يَدْعُوكَ لِيَجْزِيَكَ أَجْرَ مَا سَقَيْتَ لَنَا فَلَمَّا جَاءَه ُُ وَقَصَّ عَلَيْهِ الْقَصَصَ قَالَ لاَ تَخَفْ نَجَوْتَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ |
| Qālat 'Iĥdāhumā Yā 'Abati Asta'jirhu 'Inna Khayra Mani Asta'jarta Al-Qawīyu Al-'Amīnu | One of the daughters said: “Father, hire this man. The best that one can hire is a man who is strong and trustworthy."[28.26] | قَالَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا يَاأَبَتِ اسْتَأْجِرْهُ إِنَّ خَيْرَ مَنِ اسْتَأْجَرْتَ الْقَوِيُّ الأَمِينُ |

I do not want to put you in trouble; Allah willing, you will find me one of the righteous."[28.27] | قَالَ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُنكِحَكَ إِحْدَى ابْنَتَيَّ هَاتَيْنِ عَلَى أَنْ تَأْجُرَنِي ثَمَانِيَةَ حِجَج ٍ فَإِنْ أَتْمَمْتَ عَشْرا ً فَمِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَمَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَيْكَ سَتَجِدُنِي إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ |
| Qāla Dhālika Baynī Wa Baynaka 'Ayyamā Al-'Ajalayni Qađaytu Falā `Udwāna `Alayya Wa Allāhu `Alá Mā Naqūlu Wa Kīlun | Musa replied: “So be it an agreement between me and you. Whichever of the two terms I complete, let there be no compulsion on me. Allah is the witness to what we have agreed upon."[28.28] | قَالَ ذَلِكَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ أَيَّمَا الأَجَلَيْنِ قَضَيْتُ فَلاَ عُدْوَانَ عَلَيَّ وَاللَّهُ عَلَى مَا نَقُولُ وَكِيل ٌ |

He said to his family: “Stay here, I saw a fire and I hope to bring some information from there or a lighted torch with which you may warm yourselves."[28.29] | فَلَمَّا قَضَى مُوسَى الأَجَلَ وَسَارَ بِأَهْلِهِ آنَسَ مِنْ جَانِبِ الطُّورِ نَارا ً قَالَ لِأهْلِهِ امْكُثُوا إِنِّي آنَسْتُ نَارا ً لَعَلِّي آتِيكُمْ مِنْهَا بِخَبَرٍ أَوْ جَذْوَة ٍ مِنَ النَّارِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَصْطَلُونَ |

When Musa saw that the staff was writhing like a snake, he turned his back and fled, and did not even look behind. Allah said, “O Musa, come back and do not fear; you are quite safe.[28.31] | وَأَنْ أَلْقِ عَصَاكَ فَلَمَّا رَآهَا تَهْتَزُّ كَأَنَّهَا جَانّ ٌ وَلَّى مُدْبِرا ً وَلَمْ يُعَقِّبْ يَامُوسَى أَقْبِلْ وَلاَ تَخَفْ إِنَّكَ مِنَ الآمِنِينَ |

Now proceed with Our signs. You, and those who follow you, will surely triumph.”[28.35] | قَالَ سَنَشُدُّ عَضُدَكَ بِأَخِيكَ وَنَجْعَلُ لَكُمَا سُلْطَانا ً فَلاَ يَصِلُونَ إِلَيْكُمَا بِآيَاتِنَا أَنْتُمَا وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَكُمَا الْغَالِبُونَ |

Bake for me bricks from clay and build me a high tower so that I may climb it to see the God of Musa; most surely I think him to be one of the liars."[28.38] | وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ يَاأَيُّهَا الْمَلَأُ مَا عَلِمْتُ لَكُمْ مِنْ إِلَه ٍٍ غَيْرِي فَأَوْقِدْ لِي يَاهَامَانُ عَلَى الطِّينِ فَاجْعَل لِي صَرْحا ً لَعَلِّي أَطَّلِعُ إِلَى إِلَه ِِ مُوسَى وَإِنِّي لَأَظُنُّه ُُ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ |
| Wa Astakbara Huwa Wa Junūduhu Fī Al-'Arđi Bighayri Al-Ĥaqqi Wa Žannū 'Annahum 'Ilaynā Lā Yurja`ūna | He and his warriors were arrogant in the land without any right; they thought that they would never be brought back to Us.[28.39] | وَاسْتَكْبَرَ هُوَ وَجُنُودُه ُُ فِي الأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْنَا لاَ يُرْجَعُونَ |
| Fa'akhadhnāhu Wa Junūdahu Fanabadhnāhum Fī Al-Yammi Fānžur Kayfa Kāna `Āqibatu Až-Žālimīna | So We seized him and his warriors, and flung them into the sea. See what was the end of wrongdoers?[28.40] | فَأَخَذْنَاه ُُ وَجُنُودَه ُُ فَنَبَذْنَاهُمْ فِي الْيَمِّ فَانظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الظَّالِمِينَ |
| Wa Ja`alnāhum 'A'immatan Yad`ūna 'Ilá An-Nāri Wa Yawma Al-Qiyāmati Lā Yunşarūna | We made them leaders who started calling people to hellfire, but on the Day of Resurrection they will not get any help.[28.41] | وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ أَئِمَّة ً يَدْعُونَ إِلَى النَّارِ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لاَ يُنصَرُونَ |
| Wa 'Atba`nāhum Fī Hadhihi Ad-Dunyā La`natan Wa Yawma Al-Qiyāmati Hum Mina Al-Maqbūĥīna | We laid a curse on them in this world, and on the Day of Resurrection they will be of the despised.[28.42] | وَأَتْبَعْنَاهُمْ فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا لَعْنَة ً وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ هُمْ مِنَ الْمَقْبُوحِينَ |
| Wa Laqad 'Ātaynā Mūsá Al-Kitāba Min Ba`di Mā 'Ahlaknā Al-Qurūna Al-'Ūlá Başā'ira Lilnnāsi Wa Hudáan Wa Raĥmatan La`allahum Yatadhakkarūna | We gave Musa (Moses) the Book (Torah), after We had destroyed the former generations, an eye opener, a guide, and a blessing so that they may be reminded.[28.43] | وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا أَهْلَكْنَا الْقُرُونَ الأُولَى بَصَائِرَ لِلنَّاسِ وَهُدى ً وَرَحْمَة ً لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ |
| Wa Mā Kunta Bijānibi Al-Gharbīyi 'Idh Qađaynā 'Ilá Mūsá Al-'Amra Wa Mā Kunta Mina Ash-Shāhidīn | O Muhammad, you were not present on the western side of the mountain when We gave Musa the Law, nor did you witness that event.[28.44] | وَمَا كُنتَ بِجَانِبِ الْغَرْبِيِّ إِذْ قَضَيْنَا إِلَى مُوسَى الأَمْرَ وَمَا كُنتَ مِنَ الشَّاهِدِين |

Maybe they will take heed,[28.46] | وَمَا كُنتَ بِجَانِبِ الطُّورِ إِذْ نَادَيْنَا وَلَكِنْ رَحْمَة ً مِنْ رَبِّكَ لِتُنذِرَ قَوْما ً مَا أَتَاهُمْ مِنْ نَذِير ٍ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ |

They claim: “These (Torah and Qur’an) are the two works of sorcery complementing each other!” And they say: “We believe in neither."[28.48] | فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُمُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ عِنْدِنَا قَالُوا لَوْلاَ أُوتِيَ مِثْلَ مَا أُوتِيَ مُوسَى أَوَلَمْ يَكْفُرُوا بِمَا أُوتِيَ مُوسَى مِنْ قَبْلُ قَالُوا سِحْرَانِ تَظَاهَرَا وَقَالُوا إِنَّا بِكُلّ ٍ كَافِرُونَ |
| Qul Fa'tū Bikitābin Min `Indi Al-Lahi Huwa 'Ahdá Minhumā 'Attabi`hu 'In Kuntum Şādiqīna | Ask them: “Bring a Book from Allah which is a better guide than these two, I will follow it, if what you say be true!”[28.49] | قُلْ فَأْتُوا بِكِتَاب ٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ هُوَ أَهْدَى مِنْهُمَا أَتَّبِعْهُ إِنْ كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ |

And who is more misguided than the one who follows his own desires rather than the guidance from Allah? In fact, Allah does not guide such wrongdoing people.[28.50] | فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا لَكَ فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّمَا يَتَّبِعُونَ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ وَمَنْ أَضَلُّ مِمَّنِ اتَّبَعَ هَوَاه ُُ بِغَيْرِ هُدى ً مِنَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ |
| Wa Laqad Waşşalnā Lahumu Al-Qawla La`allahum Yatadhakkarūna | We have conveyed Our Word to them over and over again in order that they may take heed.[28.51] | وَلَقَدْ وَصَّلْنَا لَهُمُ الْقَوْلَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ |

| Wa 'Idhā Yutlá `Alayhim Qālū 'Āmannā Bihi 'Innahu Al-Ĥaqqu Min Rabbinā 'Innā Kunnā Min Qablihi Muslimīna | When it is recited to them they say: “We believe in it, surely this is the Truth from our Rabb: indeed we were Muslims even before this."[28.53] | وَإِذَا يُتْلَى عَلَيْهِمْ قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِهِ~ِ إِنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا مِنْ قَبْلِه ِِ مُسْلِمِينَ |
| 'Ūlā'ika Yu'utawna 'Ajrahum Marratayni Bimā Şabarū Wa Yadra'ūna Bil-Ĥasanati As-Sayyi'ata Wa Mimmā Razaqnāhum Yunfiqūna | They are the ones who will be given their reward twice, because they have endured with fortitude, repelling evil with good and giving in charity out of what We have given them.[28.54] | أُوْلَائِكَ يُؤْتَوْنَ أَجْرَهُمْ مَرَّتَيْنِ بِمَا صَبَرُوا وَيَدْرَءُونَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ |
| Wa 'Idhā Sami`ū Al-Laghwa 'A`rađū `Anhu Wa Qālū Lanā 'A`mālunā Wa Lakum 'A`mālukum Salāmun `Alaykum Lā Nabtaghī Al-Jāhilīna | When they hear vain talk, they withdraw from it saying: “Our deeds are for us and yours for you; peace be on to you: we do not desire the way of the ignorant."[28.55] | وَإِذَا سَمِعُوا اللَّغْوَ أَعْرَضُوا عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا لَنَا أَعْمَالُنَا وَلَكُمْ أَعْمَالُكُمْ سَلاَمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ لاَ نَبْتَغِي الْجَاهِلِينَ |
| 'Innaka Lā Tahdī Man 'Aĥbabta Wa Lakinna Al-Laha Yahdī Man Yashā'u Wa Huwa 'A`lamu Bil-Muhtadīna | O Prophet, you cannot give guidance to whom you wish, it is Allah Who gives guidance to whom He pleases, and He is quite aware of those who are guided.[28.56] | إِنَّكَ لاَ تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ |

But have We not given them a secure sanctuary to which are brought the fruits of all kinds as a provision from Us? But most of them have no knowledge.[28.57] | وَقَالُوا إِنْ نَتَّبِعِ الْهُدَى مَعَكَ نُتَخَطَّفْ مِنْ أَرْضِنَا أَوَلَمْ نُمَكِّنْ لَهُمْ حَرَما ً آمِنا ً يُجْبَى إِلَيْهِ ثَمَرَاتُ كُلِّ شَيْء ٍ رِزْقا ً مِنْ لَدُنَّا وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ |

Just see those dwellings of theirs, only a few of which have been inhabited after them; at last We Alone became their inheritors.[28.58] | وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَرْيَة ٍ بَطِرَتْ مَعِيشَتَهَا فَتِلْكَ مَسَاكِنُهُمْ لَمْ تُسْكَنْ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ إِلاَّ قَلِيلا ً وَكُنَّا نَحْنُ الْوَارِثِينَ |

Why don’t you use your common sense?[28.60] | وَمَا أُوتِيتُمْ مِنْ شَيْء ٍ فَمَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتُهَا وَمَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْر ٌ وَأَبْقَى أَفَلاَ تَعْقِلُونَ |

These are the ones whom we led astray; we led them astray as we were astray ourselves. However, we plead our innocence before You; it was not us that they worshipped.”[28.63] | قَالَ الَّذِينَ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقَوْلُ رَبَّنَا هَاؤُلاَء الَّذِينَ أَغْوَيْنَا أَغْوَيْنَاهُمْ كَمَا غَوَيْنَا تَبَرَّأْنَا إِلَيْكَ مَا كَانُوا إِيَّانَا يَعْبُدُونَ |

They will see the punishment and wish that they had accepted guidance.[28.64] | وَقِيلَ ادْعُوا شُرَكَاءَكُمْ فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا لَهُمْ وَرَأَوْا الْعَذَابَ لَوْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَهْتَدُونَ |
