"And if We had sent down to you a book in parchment..."

فلمسوه بأيديهم لقال الذين كفروا إن هذا إلا سحر مبين

"And if they had touched it with their hands, the disbelievers would have said, 'This is nothing but obvious magic.'"

وقالوا لولا أنزل عليه ملك

And they said, "Why has a messenger not been sent down to him?"

"And if We had made him an angel, We would have made him a man."

وللبسنا عليهم ما يلبسون

And We made their deeds appear attractive to them.

ولقد استهزئ برسلهم

من قبلك فحاق بالذين سخروا منهم ما كانوا به يستهزئون

Before you, those who mocked them faced what they used to ridicule.

"And We promised Moses thirty nights."

وأتممناها بعشر

And We completed it with ten.

فتم ميقات ربه أربعين ليلة

"And the term of his Lord was set at forty nights."

وقال موسى لأخيه هارون

Moses said to his brother Aaron.

اخلفني في قومي وأصلح

"Be a successor for me among my people and mend (their affairs)."

ولا تتبع سبيل المفسدين

And do not follow the path of the corrupt.

ولما جاء موسى لميقاتنا

And when Moses came at the appointed time.

وكلمه ربه قال رب أرني

And his Lord said, "My Lord, show me."

أنظر إليك

I look at you.

قال لن تراني ولكن انظر إلى الجبل

He said, "You will not see me, but look at the mountain."

فإن استقر مكانه فسوف تراني

"If he settles in his place, you will see me."

فلما تجلى ربه للجبل جعله دكا

So when his Lord manifested Himself to the mountain, He made it dust.

وخر موسى صعقا

And Moses fell down unconscious.

فلما أفاق قال سبحانك تبت إليك وأنا أول المؤمنين

When he regained consciousness, he said, "Glory be to You; I repent to You, and I am the first of the believers."

قال يا موسى إني اصطفيتك عني

He said, "O Moses, indeed I have selected you for Myself."

على الناس برسالاتي وبكلامي

"To the people with My messages and My words."

فخذ ما آتيتك وكن من الشاكرين

Take what I have given you and be among the grateful.

وكتبنا له في الألواح من كل شيء موعظة وتفصيلا لكل شيء

"And We wrote for him on the tablets an admonition and a detailed explanation of all things."

فخذها بقوة وأمر قومك يأخذوا بأحسنها

"Take it with strength and command your people to act upon its best aspects."

سأريكم دار الفاسقين

I will show you the house of the wicked.

"And if they see every sign, they still will not believe in it."

وإن يروا سبيل الرشد لا يتخذوه سبيلا

"And if they see the way of guidance, they will not take it as a path."

وإن يروا سبيل الغي يتخذوه سبيلا

"And if they see the path of error, they take it as a way."

ذلك بأنهم كذبوا بآياتنا وكانوا عنها غافلين

That is because they denied our signs and were heedless of them.

والذين كذبوا بآياتنا

And those who have denied Our signs.

ولقاء الآخرة حبطت أعمالهم

"And meeting the Hereafter, their deeds were nullified."

هل يجزون إلا ما كانوا يعملون

Will they be rewarded except for what they used to do?

واتخذ قوم موسى من بعده من حليهم عجلا جسدا له خوار

And the people of Moses took after him from their ornaments a calf, which had a lowing sound.

ألم يروا أنه لا يكلمهم ولا يهديهم سبيلا

"Did they not see that he does not speak to them nor guides them to a path?"

اتخذوه وكانوا ظالمين

They took him, and they were wrongdoers.

ولما سقط في أيامهم

And when he fell during their days.

ورأوا أنهم قد ضلوا قالوا

And they saw that they had gone astray, they said.

قالوا لئن لم يرحمنا ربنا ويغفر لنا لنكونن من الخاسرين

ولما رجع موسى إلى قومه غضبان أسفا

قال بئس ما خلفتموني من بعدي

He said, "What a poor legacy you have left me after my departure."

أعجلتم أمر ربنا

"You have hastened the matter of our Lord."

وألقى الألواح وأخذ برأس أخيه يجره إليه

قال ابن أم إن القوم استضعفوني وكادوا يقتلونني

Ibn Umm said, "The people have oppressed me and were about to kill me."

فلا تشمت بي الأعداء ولا تجعلني مع القوم الظالمين

So do not let the enemies rejoice over me, and do not place me among the wrongdoers.

قال رب اغفر لي ولأخي وأدخلنا في رحمتك وأنت أرحمني

He said, "My Lord, forgive me and my brother, and admit us into Your mercy, for You are the most merciful of the merciful."

إن الذين اتخذوا العجل سينالهم غضب من ربهم وذلة في الحياة الدنيا

Indeed, those who took the calf will incur the wrath of their Lord and humiliation in this world.

وكذلك نجزي المفترين

And thus do We recompense the liars.

والذين عملوا السيئات ثم تابوا من بعدها وآمنوا

And those who committed evil deeds and then repented afterwards and believed.

إن ربك من بعدها لغفور رحيم

Indeed, your Lord is Forgiving and Merciful after that.

ولما سكت عن موسى الغضب أسفلهم

And when the anger subsided from Moses, he turned to them.

وأخذ الألواح وفي نسختها هدى ورحمة للذين هم لربهم يرهبون

"And he took the tablets, and in their copies was guidance and mercy for those who fear their Lord."

واختار موسى قومه سبعين رجلا لميقاتنا

And Moses selected from his people seventy men for our appointed time.

فلما أخذتهم الرجفة قال رب لو شئت أهلكتهم من قبل وإياي

When the tremor seized them, he said, "O Lord, if You had wished, You could have destroyed them before me."

أتهلكنا بما فعل السفهاء منا إن هي إلا فتنتك تضل بها من تشاء وتهدي من تشاء

"Will you destroy us because of what the foolish among us have done? It is nothing but Your trial; You mislead whom You will and guide whom You will."

أنت ولينا فاغفر لنا وارحمنا وأنت خير الغافرين

You and our patron, forgive us and have mercy on us, for You are the best of those who forgive.

واكتب لنا في هذه الدنيا حسنة وفي الآخرة إنا هدنا إليك

"And grant us goodness in this world, and in the Hereafter we have turned to You."

وكتب لنا في هذه الدنيا حسنة وفي الآخرة إنا هدنا إليك

قال عذابي أصيب به من أشاء ورحمتي وسعت كل شيء

He said, "My punishment I inflict upon whom I will, and My mercy encompasses all things."

فسأكتبها للذين يتقون ويؤتون الزكاة والذين هم بآياتنا يؤمنون

So I will write it for those who are righteous, who give zakat, and who believe in Our signs.

الذين يتبعون الرسول النبي الأمي الذي يجدونه مكتوبا عندهم في التوراة

Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find written in their scriptures, the Torah.

الذي يجدونه مكتوبا عندهم في التوراة والإنجيل يأمرهم بالمعروف وينهاهم عن المنكر

"What they find written with them in the Torah and the Gospel commands them to do what is right and forbids them from doing what is wrong."

ويحل لهم الطيبات ويحرم عليهم الخبائث ويضع عنهم إصرهم والأغلال التي كانت عليهم

"And He makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil; and He relieves them of their burden and the shackles that were upon them."

فالذين آمنوا به وعزروه ونصروه واتبعوا النور الذي أنزل معه أولئك هم المفلحون

Indeed, those who believed in him, honored him, supported him, and followed the light that was sent down with him, they are the successful ones.

قل يا أيها الناس إني رسول الله إليكم جميعا

Say, "O people, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah to you all."

الذي له ملك السماوات والأرض لا إله إلا هو يحيي ويميت

The one who has dominion over the heavens and the earth; there is no god but Him. He gives life and causes death.

فآمنوا بالله ورسوله النبي الأول

So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the first prophet.

الذي يؤمن بالله وكلماته واتبعوه لعلكم تهتدون

He who believes in Allah and His words and follows them, so that you may be guided.

ومن قوم موسى أمة يهدون بالحق وبه يعدلون

"And of the people of Moses is a community that guides by truth and by it establishes justice."

وقطعناهم اثنتين عشرة أسباطا أمما

And We divided them into twelve tribes, nations.

وأوحينا إلى موسى إذ استسقاه قومه أن اضرب بعصاكا

"And We inspired Moses, when his people asked him for water, 'Strike with your staff the stone.'"

الحجر فانبجست منهم اثنتا عشرة عينا

The stone gushed forth from them twelve springs.

قد علم كل أناس مشربهم وظللنا عليهم الغمام وأنزلنا عليهم المن والسلوى

"Every people has known its drinking place, and We shaded them with clouds and sent down upon them manna and quails."

كلوا من طيبات ما رزقناكم وما ظلمونا ولكن كانوا أنفسهم يظلمون

"Eat from the good things We have provided you, and they did not wrong Us, but they were wronging themselves."

وإذ قيل له اسكنوا هذه القرنة

"And when it was said to them, 'Dwell in this village.'"

وكلوا منها حيث شئتم وقولوا حطة

"And eat from it wherever you wish, and say 'Hitta'."

وقولوا حطة ودخلوا الباب سجدا نغفر لكم خطيئاتكم

"And say, 'Hittah,' and enter the gate prostrating; We will forgive your transgressions."

سنزيد المحسنين

We will increase the benefactors.

فبدل الذين ظلموا منهم قولا غير الذي قيل لهم

So those who wronged them changed their words to a statement different from what was said to them.

فأرسلنا عليهم رجزا من السماء بما كانوا يظلمون

So We sent upon them a torment from the heaven because of what they were disobeying.

عن القرية التي كانت حاضرة البحر

About the village that was by the sea.

إذ يعدون في السبت إذ تأتيهم حيتانهم يوم سبتهم شرعا

"When they transgressed on the Sabbath, when their fish would come to them on the Sabbath visibly."

ويوم لا يسبتون لا تأتيهم

"And on a day when they will not be questioned, they will not be visited."

كذلك نبلوهم بما كانوا يفسقون

Similarly, We test them by what they used to transgress.

وإذ قالت أمة منهم لم تعظون قوما الله مهلكهم

And when a group of them said, "Why do you advise a people whom Allah is about to destroy?"

الله مهلكهم أو معذبهم عذابهم

O Allah, destroy them or torment them with Your torment.

وعذابا شديدا قالوا معذرة إلى ربكم ولعلهم يتقون

"And a severe punishment. They said, 'Our Lord, we seek Your forgiveness, and perhaps they may become righteous.'"

فلما نسوا ما ذكروا به أنجينا الذين ينهون عن السوء

And when they forgot what they were reminded of, We saved those who had forbidden evil.

وأخذنا الذين ظلموا بعذاب بئيس بما كانوا يفسقون

And We took those who had wronged with a miserable punishment because of their transgressions.

فلما عتوا عما نهوا عنه قلنا لهم

So when they rebelled against what they had been forbidden, we said to them.

قلوا نعذبكم ونعذبكم ونعذبكم ونعذبكم ونعذبكم ونعذبكم

They said we will torture you and torture you and torture you and torture you and torture you and torture you.

وقلنا لهم كونوا قردة خاسئين

And we said to them, "Be apes, despised."

وإذ تأذن ربك ليبعثن عليهم إلى يوم القيامة من يسومهم سوء العذاب

"And when your Lord declared that He would send upon them until the Day of Resurrection those who would inflict upon them the worst punishment."

إن ربك لسريع العقاب وإنه لغفور رحيم

Indeed, your Lord is swift in punishment, and He is Forgiving and Merciful.

وقطعناهم في الأرض أمما منهم الصالحون ومنهم دون ذلك

"And We divided them into nations in the land; among them are the righteous and among them are those below that."

وبلوناهم بالحسنات والسيئات لعلهم يرجعون

"And We tested them with good and evil that perhaps they would return."

فخلف من بعدهم خلف ورث كتاب يأخذون عرض هذا الأدنى ويقولون سيغفر لنا

"Then there came after them a generation who inherited the Scripture. They take the material (wealth) of this world and say, 'We will be forgiven.'"

وإن يأتهم عرض مثله يأخذوه

"And if a similar offer comes to them, they will take it."

ألم يؤخذ عليهم ميثاق الكتاب أن لا يقولوا على الله إلا الحق ودرسوا ما فيه

"Did they not take a covenant from them in the Scripture that they would not say anything about Allah except the truth while they studied it?"

والدار الآخرة خير للذين يتقون أفلا تعقنون

And the Hereafter is better for those who fear God. Do you not understand?

والذين يمسكون بالكتاب وأقاموا الصلاة

"And those who hold fast to the Book and establish prayer."

إنا لا نضيع أجر المصلحين

Indeed, We do not waste the reward of the doers of good.

وإذ نتقن الجبل فوقهم كأنه

"And when We raised the mountain above them as if it were..."

ظلة وظنوا أنه واقع بهم

A shadow, and they thought it was falling upon them.

خذوا ما آتيناكم بقوة واذكروا ما فيه لعلكم تتقون

"Take what We have given you with strength and remember what is in it, that you may attain righteousness."

وإذ أخذ ربك من بني آدم من ظهورهم دريتهم وأشهدهم على أنفسهم

"And when your Lord took from the children of Adam, from their backs, their descendants and made them testify against themselves."

ألست بربكم

Am I not your Lord?

قالوا بلى شهدوا

They said, "Yes, they bore witness."

أن تقولوا يوم القيامة إنا كنا عن هذا غافلين

"That you may say on the Day of Judgment, 'Indeed, we were unaware of this.'"

أو تقولوا إنما أشرك آباؤنا من قبل وكنا ذرية من بعدهم

"Or you say, 'Our forefathers associated partners [with Allah] before, and we were but descendants after them.'"

أفتهلكنا بما فعل المبطنون

"Will You destroy us because of what the deviant ones have done?"

وكذلك نفصل الآيات ولعلهم يرجعون

And thus We explain the verses, so that perhaps they will return.

واتل عليهم نبأ الذي آتيناه آياتنا فانسلخ منها فأتبعه الشيطان فكان من الغاوين

"And recite to them the news of he to whom We gave Our verses, but he detached himself from them, so the devil followed him, and he became of the strayed."

ولو شئنا لرفعناه بها ولكنه أخلد إلى الأرض واتبع هواه

"And if We had willed, We could have elevated him by it, but he inclined to the earth and followed his desire."

فمثله كمثل الكلب إن تحمل عليه يلهث أو تتركه يلهث

His example is like that of a dog; if you impose pressure on it, it pants, or if you leave it, it pants.

ذلك مثل القوم الذين كذبوا بآياتنا

That is like the people who denied our signs.

فقصص القصص لعلهم يتفكرون

So relate the narratives that perhaps they will reflect.

ساء مثلني القوم الذين كذبوا بآياتنا وأنفسهم كانوا يظلمون

"Wretched are the people who denied our signs while they wronged themselves."

من يهدي الله فهو المهتدي ومن يضلل فأولئك هم الخاسرون

Whoever Allah guides is the rightly guided, and whoever He leads astray, those are the losers.

ولقد ذرأنا لجهنم كثيرا من الجن والإنس

And indeed, We have prepared for Hell many of the jinn and mankind.

لهم قلوب لا يفقهون بها ولهم أعين لا يبصرون بها

They have hearts with which they do not understand and they have eyes with which they do not see.

ولهم آذان لا يسمعون بها

And they have ears with which they do not hear.

أولئك كالأنعام بل هم أضل أولئك هم الغافلون

Those are like cattle; rather, they are even more astray. Those are the heedless.

ولله الأسماء

"And to Allah belong the names."

فدعوه بها

So they called him by that.

وذروا الذين يلحدون في أسمائه سيجزون ما كانوا يعملون

"And leave those who distort His names; they will be recompensed for what they used to do."

وممن خلقنا أمة يهدون بالحق وبه يعدلون

"And of those We created is a nation guiding by truth and by it they establish justice."

والذين كذبوا بآياتنا سنستدرجهم من حيث لا يعلمون

And those who denied Our signs, We will gradually seize them from where they do not perceive.

وأملي لهم إن أعلموا

And I hope for them if they knew.

إن كيدي متين

Indeed, my plan is firm.

أولم يتفكروا ما بصاحبهم من جنة

"Do they not reflect on what their companion has of madness?"

إن هو إلا نذير مبين

He is nothing but a clear Warner.

أولم ينظروا في ملكوت السماوات والأرض

"Do they not reflect upon the dominion of the heavens and the earth?"

وما خلق الله من شيء

"And Allah has created nothing."

وأن عسى أن يكون قد اقترب أجلهم

"And perhaps their time has drawn near."

فبأي حديث ذاته

So in what statement other than this?

بعده يؤمنون

Then they will believe.

من يضلل الله فلا هاديا له

Whomever Allah misguides, there is no guide for him.

ويدرهم في طغيانهم يعمهون

"And He lets them wander blindly in their transgression."

يسألونك عن الساعة أيان مرساها

They ask you about the Hour: when is its arrival?

قل إنما علمها عند ربي لا يجليها لوقتها إلا هو

Say, "Its knowledge is only with my Lord. None can unveil it except Him at its time."

ثقلت في السماوات والأرض لا تأتيكم إلا بغته

"It weighs heavily in the heavens and the earth; it will come to you only suddenly."

يسألونك عن الساعة أيان مرساها إلا هو

They ask you about the Hour, when will its arrival be? Say, "Its knowledge is with my Lord."

ترى أنك كأنك حفي عنها

You see that you are as if you are barefoot about it.

قل إنما علمها عند الله

Say, "The knowledge of it is only with Allah."

ولكن أكثر الناس لا يعلمون

But most people do not know.

قل لا أملك لنفسي نفعا ولا ضرا إلا ما شاء الله

Say, "I do not possess for myself any benefit or harm except as Allah wills."

ولو كنت أعلم الغيب لستكثرت من الخير وما مسني السوء

إن أنا إلا نذير

"I am only a warner."

وبشير لقوم يؤمنون

"And a bringer of good tidings for a people who believe."

هو الذي خلقكم من نفس واحدة

He is the One who created you from a single soul.

وجعل منها زوجها ليسكن إليها

"And He made from it its mate so that he may find tranquility in her."

فلما تغشاها حملت حملا خفيفا فمرت به

So when he embraced her, she conceived a light pregnancy and passed by.

فلما أثقلت دعوى الله ربهما

When they burdened their Lord with their supplication.

لئن آتيتنا صالحا لنكونن من الشاكرين

If You give us a good child, we will surely be among the grateful.

فلما آتاهما صالحا جعلا له شركاء فيما آتاهما

But when He gave them something good, they made partners with Him in what He had given them.

فتعالى الله عما يشركون

Exalted is Allah above what they associate with Him.

أيشركون ما لا يخلق شيئا وهم يخلقون

"Do they associate (others with Allah) that which does not create anything while they themselves are created?"

ولا يستطيعون لهم نصرا ولا أنفسهم ينصرون

"And they are unable to assist them, nor can they help themselves."

وإن تدعوهم إلى الهدى لا يتبعوكم

And if you invite them to guidance, they will not follow you.

سواء عليكم أدعوتموهم أم أنتم صامتون

It makes no difference to them whether you call them or remain silent.

إن الذين تدعون من دون الله عباد أمثالكم

"Indeed, those whom you invoke besides Allah are servants like yourselves."

فدعوهم فليستجيبوا لكم إن كنتم صادقين

"Indeed, the ally of Allah is the One who has sent down the Book, and He protects the righteous."

والذين تدعون من دونه لا يستطيعون

"And those whom you invoke besides Him are unable."

نصركم ولا أنفسهم ينصرون

Their victory is not by their own selves.

وإن تدعوهم إلى الهدى لا يسمعوا

للذين أحسنوا الحسنى وزيادة

ما لهم من ذلك؟

What do they have from that?

من الله من عاصم

"Whoever is saved is from God."

كأنما أغشيت وجوههم قطعا من الليل مظلما

"As if their faces were covered with pieces of dark night."

أولئك أصحاب النار هم فيها خالدون

Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.

ويوم نحشرهم جميعا ثم نقول للذين أشركوا مكانكم أنتم وشركاؤكم

"And on the Day We gather them all together, We will say to those who associated partners (with Allah), 'Stay in your place, you and your partners.'"

فزيّلنا بينهم وقال شركاؤكم

"So, We separated them and said, 'Your partners.'"

ما كنتم إيانا تعبدون

What were you worshiping besides us?

فكفى بالله شهيدا بيننا وبينكم إن كنا عن عبادتكم لغافلين

So sufficient is Allah as a witness between us and you, if we were indeed unconcerned about your worship.

هنالك تبلو كل نفس ما أسلفت وردوا إلى الله مولاهم الحق

"Every soul will be informed of what it has brought forth, and they will be returned to Allah, their true Lord."

وضل عنهم ما كانوا يفترون

"And what they used to fabricate has slipped away from them."

قل من يرزقكم من أجلهم ويحفظون

Say, "Who provides for you from the heavens and the earth, and who holds them?"

السماء والأرض أم من يملك السمع والأبصار

The heavens and the earth, or who possesses hearing and sight.

ومن يخرج الحي من الميت ويخرج الميت من الحي

And who brings the living out of the dead and brings the dead out of the living.

فقل أفلا تتقون

Say, "Then will you not fear [Allah]?"

فذلكم الله ربكم الحق

That is Allah, your Lord, the Truth.

فماذا بعد الحق إلا الضلال فأنا تصرفون

So what is after truth except for error? How then are you turned away?

كذلك حقت كلمة ربك على الذين فسقوا أنهم لا يؤمنون

Thus, the word of your Lord has been fulfilled against those who have transgressed, that they do not believe.

قل هل من شركائكم من يبدأ الخلق ثم يعيده

Say, "Is there any of your partners who begins creation and then repeats it?"

قل الله يبدأ الخلق ثم يعيده فأنا تؤفكون

Say, "Allah begins creation, then he will repeat it; so how are you deluded?"

Say, "Is there any of your partners that guides to the truth?"

فما لكم كيف تحكمون

So what is the matter with you? How do you judge?
