So they disputed over their affair among themselves and concealed their private conversation.

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 [i.e., religion or tradition].

So resolve upon your plan and then come [forward] in line. And he has succeeded today who overcomes."

٢٠:٦٥

قَالُوا۟ They said يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ O Musa إِمَّآ Either أَن [that] تُلْقِىَ you throw وَإِمَّآ or أَن [that] نَّكُونَ we will be أَوَّلَ the first مَنْ who أَلْقَىٰ throws ٦٥ (65)

They said, "O Moses, either you throw or we will be the first to throw."

٢٠:٦٦

قَالَ He said بَلْ Nay أَلْقُوا۟ ۖ you throw فَإِذَا Then behold حِبَالُهُمْ Their ropes وَعِصِيُّهُمْ and their staffs يُخَيَّلُ seemed إِلَيْهِ to him مِن by سِحْرِهِمْ their magic أَنَّهَا that they تَسْعَىٰ (were) moving ٦٦ (66)

He said, "Rather, you throw." And suddenly their ropes and staffs seemed to him from their magic that they were moving [like snakes].

فَأَوْجَسَ So sensed فِى in نَفْسِهِۦ himself خِيفَةًۭ a fear مُّوسَىٰ Musa ٦٧ (67)

And he sensed within himself apprehension, did Moses.

٢٠:٦٨

قُلْنَا We said لَا (Do) not تَخَفْ fear إِنَّكَ Indeed, you أَنتَ you ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ (will be) superior ٦٨ (68)

We [i.e., Allāh] said, "Fear not. Indeed, it is you who are superior.

٢٠:٦٩

وَأَلْقِ And throw مَا what فِى (is) in يَمِينِكَ your right hand تَلْقَفْ it will swallow up مَا what صَنَعُوٓا۟ ۖ they have made إِنَّمَا Only صَنَعُوا۟ they (have) made كَيْدُ a trick سَـٰحِرٍۢ ۖ (of) a magician وَلَا and not يُفْلِحُ will be successful ٱلسَّاحِرُ the magician حَيْثُ wherever أَتَىٰ he comes ٦٩ (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."

٢٠:٧٠

فَأُلْقِىَ So were thrown down ٱلسَّحَرَةُ the magicians سُجَّدًۭا prostrating قَالُوٓا۟ They said ءَامَنَّا We believe بِرَبِّ in (the) Lord هَـٰرُونَ (of) Harun وَمُوسَىٰ and Musa ٧٠ (70)

So the magicians fell down in prostration. They said, "We have believed in the Lord of Aaron and Moses."

٢٠:٧١

قَالَ He said ءَامَنتُمْ You believe لَهُۥ [to] him قَبْلَ before أَنْ [that] ءَاذَنَ I gave permission لَكُمْ ۖ to you إِنَّهُۥ Indeed, he لَكَبِيرُكُمُ (is) your chief ٱلَّذِى the one who عَلَّمَكُمُ taught you ٱلسِّحْرَ ۖ the magic فَلَأُقَطِّعَنَّ So surely I will cut off أَيْدِيَكُمْ your hands وَأَرْجُلَكُم and your feet مِّنْ of خِلَـٰفٍۢ opposite sides وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ and surely I will crucify you فِى on جُذُوعِ (the) trunks ٱلنَّخْلِ (of) date-palms وَلَتَعْلَمُنَّ and surely you will know أَيُّنَآ which of us أَشَدُّ (is) more severe عَذَابًۭا (in) punishment وَأَبْقَىٰ and more lasting ٧١ (71)

[Pharaoh] said, "You believed him [i.e., Moses] 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."

٢٠:٧٢

قَالُوا۟ They said لَن Never نُّؤْثِرَكَ we will prefer you عَلَىٰ over مَا what جَآءَنَا has come to us مِنَ of ٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ the clear proofs وَٱلَّذِى and the One Who فَطَرَنَا ۖ created us فَٱقْضِ So decree مَآ whatever أَنتَ you قَاضٍ ۖ (are) decreeing إِنَّمَا Only تَقْضِى you can decree هَـٰذِهِ (for) this ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ life ٱلدُّنْيَآ (of) the world ٧٢ (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.

٢٠:٧٣

إِنَّآ Indeed, [we] ءَامَنَّا we believe بِرَبِّنَا in our Lord لِيَغْفِرَ that He may forgive لَنَا for us خَطَـٰيَـٰنَا our sins وَمَآ and what أَكْرَهْتَنَا you compelled us عَلَيْهِ on it مِنَ of ٱلسِّحْرِ ۗ the magic وَٱللَّهُ And Allah خَيْرٌۭ (is) Best وَأَبْقَىٰٓ and Ever Lasting ٧٣ (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 Allāh is better and more enduring."1

٢٠:٧٤

إِنَّهُۥ Indeed, he مَن who يَأْتِ comes رَبَّهُۥ (to) his Lord مُجْرِمًۭا (as) a criminal فَإِنَّ then indeed لَهُۥ for him جَهَنَّمَ (is) Hell لَا Not يَمُوتُ he will die فِيهَا in it وَلَا and not يَحْيَىٰ live ٧٤ (74)

Indeed, whoever comes to his Lord as a criminal - indeed, for him is Hell; he will neither die therein nor live.

٢٠:٧٥

وَمَن But whoever يَأْتِهِۦ comes to Him مُؤْمِنًۭا (as) a believer قَدْ verily عَمِلَ he has done ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ the righteous deeds فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ then those لَهُمُ for them ٱلدَّرَجَـٰتُ (will be) the ranks ٱلْعُلَىٰ [the] high ٧٥ (75)

But whoever comes to Him as a believer having done righteous deeds - for those will be the highest degrees [in position]:

٢٠:٧٦

جَنَّـٰتُ Gardens عَدْنٍۢ (of) Eden تَجْرِى flows مِن from تَحْتِهَا underneath them ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ the rivers خَـٰلِدِينَ abiding forever فِيهَا ۚ in it وَذَٰلِكَ And that جَزَآءُ (is) the reward مَن (for him) who تَزَكَّىٰ purifies himself ٧٦ (76)

Gardens of perpetual residence beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. And that is the reward of one who purifies himself.

٢٠:٧٧

وَلَقَدْ And verily أَوْحَيْنَآ We inspired إِلَىٰ to مُوسَىٰٓ Musa أَنْ that أَسْرِ Travel by night بِعِبَادِى with My slaves فَٱضْرِبْ and strike لَهُمْ for them طَرِيقًۭا a path فِى in ٱلْبَحْرِ the sea يَبَسًۭا dry لَّا not تَخَـٰفُ fearing دَرَكًۭا to be overtaken وَلَا and not تَخْشَىٰ being afraid ٧٧ (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]."

٢٠:٧٨

فَأَتْبَعَهُمْ Then followed them فِرْعَوْنُ Firaun بِجُنُودِهِۦ with his forces فَغَشِيَهُم but covered them مِّنَ from ٱلْيَمِّ the sea مَا what غَشِيَهُمْ covered them ٧٨ (78)

So Pharaoh pursued them with his soldiers, and there covered them from the sea that which covered them,

٢٠:٧٩

وَأَضَلَّ And led astray فِرْعَوْنُ Firaun قَوْمَهُۥ his people وَمَا and (did) not هَدَىٰ guide them ٧٩ (79)

And Pharaoh led his people astray and did not guide [them].

٢٠:٨٠

يَـٰبَنِىٓ O Children of Israel إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ O Children of Israel قَدْ Verily أَنجَيْنَـٰكُم We delivered you مِّنْ from عَدُوِّكُمْ your enemy وَوَٰعَدْنَـٰكُمْ and We made a covenant with you جَانِبَ on (the) side ٱلطُّورِ (of) the Mount ٱلْأَيْمَنَ the right وَنَزَّلْنَا and We sent down عَلَيْكُمُ to you ٱلْمَنَّ the Manna وَٱلسَّلْوَىٰ and the quails ٨٠ (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,

٢٠:٨١

كُلُوا۟ Eat مِن of طَيِّبَـٰتِ (the) good things مَا which رَزَقْنَـٰكُمْ We have provided you وَلَا and (do) not تَطْغَوْا۟ transgress فِيهِ therein فَيَحِلَّ lest should descend عَلَيْكُمْ upon you غَضَبِى ۖ My Anger وَمَن And whoever يَحْلِلْ on whom descends عَلَيْهِ on whom descends غَضَبِى My Anger فَقَدْ indeed هَوَىٰ he (has) perished ٨١ (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 [i.e., perished]."

٢٠:٨٢

وَإِنِّى But indeed, I Am لَغَفَّارٌۭ the Perpetual Forgiver لِّمَن of whoever تَابَ repents وَءَامَنَ and believes وَعَمِلَ and does صَـٰلِحًۭا righteous (deeds) ثُمَّ then ٱهْتَدَىٰ remains guided ٨٢ (82)

But indeed, I am the Perpetual Forgiver of whoever repents and believes and does righteousness and then continues in guidance.

٢٠:٨٣

۞ وَمَآ And what أَعْجَلَكَ made you hasten عَن from قَوْمِكَ your people يَـٰمُوسَىٰ O Musa ٨٣ (83)

[Allāh said], "And what made you hasten from your people, O Moses?"

٢٠:٨٤

قَالَ He said هُمْ They أُو۟لَآءِ (are) close عَلَىٰٓ upon أَثَرِى my tracks وَعَجِلْتُ and I hastened إِلَيْكَ to you رَبِّ my Lord لِتَرْضَىٰ that You be pleased ٨٤ (84)

He said, "They are close upon my tracks, and I hastened to You, my Lord, that You be pleased."

٢٠:٨٥

قَالَ He said فَإِنَّا But indeed, We قَدْ [verily] فَتَنَّا We (have) tried قَوْمَكَ your people مِنۢ after you بَعْدِكَ after you وَأَضَلَّهُمُ and has led them astray ٱلسَّامِرِىُّ the Samiri ٨٥ (85)

[Allāh] said, "But indeed, We have tried your people after you [departed], and the Sāmirī1 has led them astray."

٢٠:٨٦

فَرَجَعَ Then Musa returned مُوسَىٰٓ Then Musa returned إِلَىٰ to قَوْمِهِۦ his people غَضْبَـٰنَ angry أَسِفًۭا ۚ (and) sorrowful قَالَ He said يَـٰقَوْمِ O my people أَلَمْ Did not يَعِدْكُمْ promise you رَبُّكُمْ your Lord وَعْدًا a promise حَسَنًا ۚ good أَفَطَالَ Then, did seem long عَلَيْكُمُ to you ٱلْعَهْدُ the promise أَمْ or أَرَدتُّمْ did you desire أَن that يَحِلَّ descend عَلَيْكُمْ upon you غَضَبٌۭ (the) Anger مِّن of رَّبِّكُمْ your Lord فَأَخْلَفْتُم so you broke مَّوْعِدِى (the) promise to me ٨٦ (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?"

٢٠:٨٧

قَالُوا۟ They said مَآ Not أَخْلَفْنَا we broke مَوْعِدَكَ promise to you بِمَلْكِنَا by our will وَلَـٰكِنَّا but we حُمِّلْنَآ [we] were made to carry أَوْزَارًۭا burdens مِّن from زِينَةِ ornaments ٱلْقَوْمِ (of) the people فَقَذَفْنَـٰهَا so we threw them فَكَذَٰلِكَ and thus أَلْقَى threw ٱلسَّامِرِىُّ the Samiri ٨٧ (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 Sāmirī throw."

٢٠:٨٨

فَأَخْرَجَ Then he brought forth لَهُمْ for them عِجْلًۭا a calf's جَسَدًۭا body لَّهُۥ it had خُوَارٌۭ a lowing sound فَقَالُوا۟ and they said هَـٰذَآ This إِلَـٰهُكُمْ (is) your god وَإِلَـٰهُ and the god مُوسَىٰ (of) Musa فَنَسِىَ but he forgot ٨٨ (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."

٢٠:٨٩

أَفَلَا Then, did not يَرَوْنَ they see أَلَّا that not يَرْجِعُ it (could) return إِلَيْهِمْ to them قَوْلًۭا a word وَلَا and not يَمْلِكُ possess لَهُمْ for them ضَرًّۭا any harm وَلَا and not نَفْعًۭا any benefit ٨٩ (89)

Did they not see that it could not return to them any speech [i.e., response] and that it did not possess for them any harm or benefit?

٢٠:٩٠

وَلَقَدْ And verily قَالَ (had) said لَهُمْ to them هَـٰرُونُ Harun مِن before قَبْلُ before يَـٰقَوْمِ O my people إِنَّمَا Only فُتِنتُم you are being tested بِهِۦ ۖ by it وَإِنَّ and indeed رَبَّكُمُ your Lord ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ (is) the Most Gracious فَٱتَّبِعُونِى so follow me وَأَطِيعُوٓا۟ and obey أَمْرِى my order ٩٠ (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."

٢٠:٩١

قَالُوا۟ They said لَن Never نَّبْرَحَ we will cease عَلَيْهِ being devoted to it عَـٰكِفِينَ being devoted to it حَتَّىٰ until يَرْجِعَ returns إِلَيْنَا to us مُوسَىٰ Musa ٩١ (91)

They said, "We will never cease being devoted to it [i.e., the calf] until Moses returns to us."

٢٠:٩٢

قَالَ He said يَـٰهَـٰرُونُ O Harun مَا What مَنَعَكَ prevented you إِذْ when رَأَيْتَهُمْ you saw them ضَلُّوٓا۟ going astray ٩٢ (92)

[Moses] said, "O Aaron, what prevented you, when you saw them going astray,

٢٠:٩٣

أَلَّا That not تَتَّبِعَنِ ۖ you follow me أَفَعَصَيْتَ Then, have you disobeyed أَمْرِى my order ٩٣ (93)

From following me? Then have you disobeyed my order?"

٢٠:٩٤

قَالَ He said يَبْنَؤُمَّ O son of my mother لَا (Do) not تَأْخُذْ seize (me) بِلِحْيَتِى by my beard وَلَا and not بِرَأْسِىٓ ۖ by my head إِنِّى Indeed, I خَشِيتُ [I] feared أَن that تَقُولَ you would say فَرَّقْتَ You caused division بَيْنَ between بَنِىٓ (the) Children of Israel إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ (the) Children of Israel وَلَمْ and not تَرْقُبْ you respect قَوْلِى my word ٩٤ (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.'"

٢٠:٩٥

قَالَ He said فَمَا Then what خَطْبُكَ (is) your case يَـٰسَـٰمِرِىُّ O Samiri ٩٥ (95)

[Moses] said, "And what is your case, O Sāmirī?"

٢٠:٩٦

قَالَ He said بَصُرْتُ I perceived بِمَا what لَمْ not يَبْصُرُوا۟ they perceive بِهِۦ in it فَقَبَضْتُ so I took قَبْضَةًۭ a handful مِّنْ from أَثَرِ (the) track ٱلرَّسُولِ (of) the Messenger فَنَبَذْتُهَا then threw it وَكَذَٰلِكَ and thus سَوَّلَتْ suggested لِى to me نَفْسِى my soul ٩٦ (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."

٢٠:٩٧

قَالَ He said فَٱذْهَبْ Then go فَإِنَّ And indeed لَكَ for you فِى in ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ the life أَن that تَقُولَ you will say لَا (Do) not مِسَاسَ ۖ touch وَإِنَّ And indeed لَكَ for you مَوْعِدًۭا (is) an appointment لَّن never تُخْلَفَهُۥ ۖ you will fail to (keep) it وَٱنظُرْ And look إِلَىٰٓ at إِلَـٰهِكَ your god ٱلَّذِى that which ظَلْتَ you have remained عَلَيْهِ to it عَاكِفًۭا ۖ devoted لَّنُحَرِّقَنَّهُۥ Surely we will burn it ثُمَّ then لَنَنسِفَنَّهُۥ certainly we will scatter it فِى in ٱلْيَمِّ the sea نَسْفًا (in) particles ٩٧ (97)

[Moses] said, "Then go. And indeed, it is [decreed] for you in [this] life to say, 'No contact.'1 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 [i.e., its ashes] into the sea with a blast.

٢٠:٩٨

إِنَّمَآ Only إِلَـٰهُكُمُ your God ٱللَّهُ (is) Allah ٱلَّذِى the One لَآ (there is) no إِلَـٰهَ god إِلَّا but هُوَ ۚ He وَسِعَ He has encompassed كُلَّ all شَىْءٍ things عِلْمًۭا (in) knowledge ٩٨ (98)

Your god is only Allāh, except for whom there is no deity. He has encompassed all things in knowledge."

٢٠:٩٩

كَذَٰلِكَ Thus نَقُصُّ We relate عَلَيْكَ to you مِنْ from أَنۢبَآءِ (the) news مَا (of) what قَدْ has preceded سَبَقَ ۚ has preceded وَقَدْ And certainly ءَاتَيْنَـٰكَ We have given you مِن from لَّدُنَّا Us ذِكْرًۭا a Reminder ٩٩ (99)

Thus, [O Muḥammad], We relate to you from the news of what has preceded. And We have certainly given you from Us a message [i.e., the Qur’ān].

٢٠:١٠٠

مَّنْ Whoever أَعْرَضَ turns away عَنْهُ from it فَإِنَّهُۥ then indeed, he يَحْمِلُ will bear يَوْمَ (on the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ (of) Resurrection وِزْرًا a burden ١٠٠ (100)

Whoever turns away from it - then indeed, he will bear on the Day of Resurrection a burden [i.e., great sin],

٢٠:١٠١

خَـٰلِدِينَ Abiding forever فِيهِ ۖ in it وَسَآءَ and evil لَهُمْ for them يَوْمَ (on the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ (of) the Resurrection حِمْلًۭا (as) a load ١٠١ (101)

[Abiding] eternally therein, and evil it is for them on the Day of Resurrection as a load -

٢٠:١٠٢

يَوْمَ (The) Day يُنفَخُ will be blown فِى in ٱلصُّورِ ۚ the Trumpet وَنَحْشُرُ and We will gather ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ the criminals يَوْمَئِذٍۢ that Day زُرْقًۭا blue-eyed ١٠٢ (102)

The Day the Horn will be blown. And We will gather the criminals, that Day, blue-eyed.

٢٠:١٠٣

يَتَخَـٰفَتُونَ They are murmuring بَيْنَهُمْ among themselves إِن Not لَّبِثْتُمْ you remained إِلَّا except (for) عَشْرًۭا ten ١٠٣ (103)

They will murmur among themselves, "You remained not but ten [days in the world]."

٢٠:١٠٤

نَّحْنُ We أَعْلَمُ know best بِمَا what يَقُولُونَ they will say إِذْ when يَقُولُ will say أَمْثَلُهُمْ (the) best of them طَرِيقَةً (in) conduct إِن Not لَّبِثْتُمْ you remained إِلَّا except (for) يَوْمًۭا a day ١٠٤ (104)

We are most knowing of what they say when the best of them in manner [i.e., wisdom or speech] will say, "You remained not but one day."

٢٠:١٠٥

وَيَسْـَٔلُونَكَ And they ask you عَنِ about ٱلْجِبَالِ the mountains فَقُلْ so say يَنسِفُهَا Will blast them رَبِّى my Lord نَسْفًۭا (into) particles ١٠٥ (105)

And they ask you about the mountains, so say, "My Lord will blow them away with a blast.

٢٠:١٠٦

فَيَذَرُهَا Then He will leave it قَاعًۭا a level صَفْصَفًۭا plain ١٠٦ (106)

And He will leave it [i.e., the earth] a level plain;

٢٠:١٠٧

لَّا Not تَرَىٰ you will see فِيهَا in it عِوَجًۭا any crookedness وَلَآ and not أَمْتًۭا any curve ١٠٧ (107)

You will not see therein a depression or an elevation."

٢٠:١٠٨

يَوْمَئِذٍۢ On that Day يَتَّبِعُونَ they will follow ٱلدَّاعِىَ the caller لَا no عِوَجَ deviation لَهُۥ ۖ from it وَخَشَعَتِ And (will be) humbled ٱلْأَصْوَاتُ the voices لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ for the Most Gracious فَلَا so not تَسْمَعُ you will hear إِلَّا except هَمْسًۭا a faint sound ١٠٨ (108)

That Day, they [i.e., everyone] will follow [the call of] the Caller [with] no deviation therefrom, and [all] voices will be stilled before the Most Merciful, so you will not hear except a whisper [of footsteps].

٢٠:١٠٩

يَوْمَئِذٍۢ (On) that Day لَّا not تَنفَعُ will benefit ٱلشَّفَـٰعَةُ the intercession إِلَّا except مَنْ (to) whom أَذِنَ has given permission لَهُ [to him] ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ the Most Gracious وَرَضِىَ and He has accepted لَهُۥ for him قَوْلًۭا a word ١٠٩ (109)

That Day, no intercession will benefit except [that of] one to whom the Most Merciful has given permission and has accepted his word.

٢٠:١١٠

يَعْلَمُ He knows مَا what بَيْنَ (is) before them أَيْدِيهِمْ (is) before them وَمَا and what خَلْفَهُمْ (is) behind them وَلَا while not يُحِيطُونَ they encompass بِهِۦ it عِلْمًۭا (in) knowledge ١١٠ (110)

He [i.e., Allāh] knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, but they do not encompass it [i.e., what He knows] in knowledge.

٢٠:١١١

۞ وَعَنَتِ And (will be) humbled ٱلْوُجُوهُ the faces لِلْحَىِّ before the Ever-Living ٱلْقَيُّومِ ۖ the Self-Subsisting وَقَدْ And verily خَابَ will have failed مَنْ (he) who حَمَلَ carried ظُلْمًۭا wrongdoing ١١١ (111)

And [all] faces will be humbled before the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining. And he will have failed who carries injustice.

٢٠:١١٢

وَمَن But (he) who يَعْمَلْ does مِنَ of ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ the righteous deeds وَهُوَ while he مُؤْمِنٌۭ (is) a believer فَلَا then not يَخَافُ he will fear ظُلْمًۭا injustice وَلَا and not هَضْمًۭا deprivation ١١٢ (112)

But he who does of righteous deeds while he is a believer - he will neither fear injustice nor deprivation.

٢٠:١١٣

وَكَذَٰلِكَ And thus أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ We have sent it down قُرْءَانًا (the) Quran عَرَبِيًّۭا (in) Arabic وَصَرَّفْنَا and We have explained فِيهِ in it مِنَ of ٱلْوَعِيدِ the warnings لَعَلَّهُمْ that they may يَتَّقُونَ fear أَوْ or يُحْدِثُ it may cause لَهُمْ [for] them ذِكْرًۭا remembrance ١١٣ (113)

And thus We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur’ān and have diversified therein the warnings that perhaps they will avoid [sin] or it would cause them remembrance.

٢٠:١١٤

فَتَعَـٰلَى So high (above all) ٱللَّهُ (is) Allah ٱلْمَلِكُ the King ٱلْحَقُّ ۗ the True وَلَا And (do) not تَعْجَلْ hasten بِٱلْقُرْءَانِ with the Quran مِن before قَبْلِ before أَن [that] يُقْضَىٰٓ is completed إِلَيْكَ to you وَحْيُهُۥ ۖ its revelation وَقُل and say رَّبِّ My Lord زِدْنِى Increase me عِلْمًۭا (in) knowledge ١١٤ (114)

So high [above all] is Allāh, the Sovereign, the Truth. And, [O Muḥammad], do not hasten with [recitation of] the Qur’ān before its revelation is completed to you, and say, "My Lord, increase me in knowledge."

٢٠:١١٥

وَلَقَدْ And verily عَهِدْنَآ We made a covenant إِلَىٰٓ with ءَادَمَ Adam مِن before قَبْلُ before فَنَسِىَ but he forgot وَلَمْ and not نَجِدْ We found لَهُۥ in him عَزْمًۭا determination ١١٥ (115)

And We had already taken a promise from Adam before, but he forgot; and We found not in him determination.

٢٠:١١٦

وَإِذْ And when قُلْنَا We said لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ to the Angels ٱسْجُدُوا۟ Prostrate لِـَٔادَمَ to Adam فَسَجَدُوٓا۟ then they prostrated إِلَّآ except إِبْلِيسَ Iblis أَبَىٰ he refused ١١٦ (116)

And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except Iblees; he refused.

٢٠:١١٧

فَقُلْنَا Then We said يَـٰٓـَٔادَمُ O Adam إِنَّ Indeed هَـٰذَا this عَدُوٌّۭ (is) an enemy لَّكَ to you وَلِزَوْجِكَ and to your wife فَلَا So not يُخْرِجَنَّكُمَا (let) him drive you both مِنَ from ٱلْجَنَّةِ Paradise فَتَشْقَىٰٓ so (that) you would suffer ١١٧ (117)

So We said, "O Adam, indeed this is an enemy to you and to your wife. Then let him not remove you from Paradise so you would suffer.

٢٠:١١٨

إِنَّ Indeed لَكَ for you أَلَّا that not تَجُوعَ you will be hungry فِيهَا therein وَلَا and not تَعْرَىٰ you will be unclothed ١١٨ (118)

Indeed, it is [promised] for you not to be hungry therein or be unclothed.

٢٠:١١٩

وَأَنَّكَ And that you لَا not تَظْمَؤُا۟ will suffer from thirst فِيهَا therein وَلَا and not تَضْحَىٰ exposed to the sun's heat ١١٩ (119)

And indeed, you will not be thirsty therein or be hot from the sun."

٢٠:١٢٠

فَوَسْوَسَ Then whispered إِلَيْهِ to him ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ Shaitaan قَالَ he said يَـٰٓـَٔادَمُ O Adam هَلْ Shall أَدُلُّكَ I direct you عَلَىٰ to شَجَرَةِ (the) tree ٱلْخُلْدِ (of) the Eternity وَمُلْكٍۢ and a kingdom لَّا not يَبْلَىٰ (that will) deteriorate ١٢٠ (120)

Then Satan whispered to him; he said, "O Adam, shall I direct you to the tree of eternity and possession that will not deteriorate?"

٢٠:١٢١

فَأَكَلَا Then they both ate مِنْهَا from it فَبَدَتْ so became apparent لَهُمَا to them سَوْءَٰتُهُمَا their shame وَطَفِقَا and they began يَخْصِفَانِ (to) fasten عَلَيْهِمَا on themselves مِن from وَرَقِ (the) leaves ٱلْجَنَّةِ ۚ (of) Paradise وَعَصَىٰٓ And Adam disobeyed ءَادَمُ And Adam disobeyed رَبَّهُۥ his Lord فَغَوَىٰ and erred ١٢١ (121)

And they [i.e., Adam and his wife] ate of it, and their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten over themselves from the leaves of Paradise. And Adam disobeyed his Lord and erred.

٢٠:١٢٢

ثُمَّ Then ٱجْتَبَـٰهُ chose him رَبُّهُۥ his Lord فَتَابَ and turned عَلَيْهِ to him وَهَدَىٰ and guided (him) ١٢٢ (122)

Then his Lord chose him and turned to him in forgiveness and guided [him].

٢٠:١٢٣

قَالَ He said ٱهْبِطَا Go down مِنْهَا from it جَمِيعًۢا ۖ all بَعْضُكُمْ some of you لِبَعْضٍ to others عَدُوٌّۭ ۖ (as) enemy فَإِمَّا Then if يَأْتِيَنَّكُم comes to you مِّنِّى from Me هُدًۭى guidance فَمَنِ then whoever ٱتَّبَعَ follows هُدَاىَ My guidance فَلَا then not يَضِلُّ he will go astray وَلَا and not يَشْقَىٰ suffer ١٢٣ (123)

[Allāh] said, "Descend from it [i.e., Paradise] - all, [your descendants] being enemies to one another. And if there should come to you guidance from Me - then whoever follows My guidance will neither go astray [in the world] nor suffer [in the Hereafter].

٢٠:١٢٤

وَمَنْ And whoever أَعْرَضَ turns away عَن from ذِكْرِى My remembrance فَإِنَّ then indeed لَهُۥ for him مَعِيشَةًۭ (is) a life ضَنكًۭا straitened وَنَحْشُرُهُۥ and We will gather him يَوْمَ (on the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ (of) the Resurrection أَعْمَىٰ blind ١٢٤ (124)

And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have a depressed [i.e., difficult] life, and We will gather [i.e., raise] him on the Day of Resurrection blind."

٢٠:١٢٥

قَالَ He will say رَبِّ My Lord لِمَ Why حَشَرْتَنِىٓ You raised me أَعْمَىٰ blind وَقَدْ while [verily] كُنتُ I had بَصِيرًۭا sight ١٢٥ (125)

He will say, "My Lord, why have you raised me blind while I was [once] seeing?"

٢٠:١٢٦

قَالَ He will say كَذَٰلِكَ Thus أَتَتْكَ came to you ءَايَـٰتُنَا Our Signs فَنَسِيتَهَا ۖ but you forgot them وَكَذَٰلِكَ and thus ٱلْيَوْمَ today تُنسَىٰ you will be forgotten ١٢٦ (126)

[Allāh] will say, "Thus did Our signs come to you, and you forgot [i.e., disregarded] them; and thus will you this Day be forgotten."

٢٠:١٢٧

وَكَذَٰلِكَ And thus نَجْزِى We recompense مَنْ (he) who أَسْرَفَ transgresses وَلَمْ and not يُؤْمِنۢ believes بِـَٔايَـٰتِ in (the) Signs رَبِّهِۦ ۚ (of) his Lord وَلَعَذَابُ And surely (the) punishment ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ (of) the Hereafter أَشَدُّ (is) more severe وَأَبْقَىٰٓ and more lasting ١٢٧ (127)

And thus do We recompense he who transgressed and did not believe in the signs of his Lord. And the punishment of the Hereafter is more severe and more enduring.

أَفَلَمْ Then has not يَهْدِ it guided لَهُمْ [for] them كَمْ how many أَهْلَكْنَا We (have) destroyed قَبْلَهُم before them مِّنَ of ٱلْقُرُونِ the generations يَمْشُونَ (as) they walk فِى in مَسَـٰكِنِهِمْ ۗ their dwellings إِنَّ Indeed فِى in ذَٰلِكَ that لَـَٔايَـٰتٍۢ surely (are) Signs لِّأُو۟لِى for possessors ٱلنُّهَىٰ (of) intelligence ١٢٨ (128)

Then, has it not become clear to them how many generations We destroyed before them as they walk among their dwellings? Indeed in that are signs for those of intelligence.

٢٠:١٢٩

وَلَوْلَا And if not كَلِمَةٌۭ (for) a Word سَبَقَتْ (that) preceded مِن from رَّبِّكَ your Lord لَكَانَ surely (would) have been لِزَامًۭا an obligation وَأَجَلٌۭ and a term مُّسَمًّۭى determined ١٢٩ (129)

And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, it [i.e., punishment] would have been an obligation [due immediately], and [if not for] a specified term [decreed].

٢٠:١٣٠

فَٱصْبِرْ So be patient عَلَىٰ over مَا what يَقُولُونَ they say وَسَبِّحْ and glorify بِحَمْدِ with praise رَبِّكَ (of) your Lord قَبْلَ before طُلُوعِ (the) rising ٱلشَّمْسِ (of) the sun وَقَبْلَ and before غُرُوبِهَا ۖ its setting وَمِنْ and from ءَانَآئِ (the) hours ٱلَّيْلِ (of) the night فَسَبِّحْ and glorify وَأَطْرَافَ (at the) ends ٱلنَّهَارِ (of) the day لَعَلَّكَ so that you may تَرْضَىٰ be satisfied ١٣٠ (130)

So be patient over what they say and exalt [Allāh] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting; and during periods of the night [exalt Him] and at the ends of the day, that you may be satisfied.

٢٠:١٣١

وَلَا And (do) not تَمُدَّنَّ extend عَيْنَيْكَ your eyes إِلَىٰ towards مَا what مَتَّعْنَا We have given for enjoyment بِهِۦٓ [with it] أَزْوَٰجًۭا pairs مِّنْهُمْ of them زَهْرَةَ (the) splendor ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ (of) the life ٱلدُّنْيَا (of) the world لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ that We may test them فِيهِ ۚ in it وَرِزْقُ And (the) provision رَبِّكَ (of) your Lord خَيْرٌۭ (is) better وَأَبْقَىٰ and more lasting ١٣١ (131)

And do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [some] categories of them, [its being but] the splendor of worldly life by which We test them. And the provision of your Lord is better and more enduring.

٢٠:١٣٢

وَأْمُرْ And enjoin أَهْلَكَ (on) your family بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ the prayer وَٱصْطَبِرْ and be steadfast عَلَيْهَا ۖ therein لَا Not نَسْـَٔلُكَ We ask you رِزْقًۭا ۖ (for) provision نَّحْنُ We نَرْزُقُكَ ۗ provide (for) you وَٱلْعَـٰقِبَةُ and the outcome لِلتَّقْوَىٰ (is) for the righteous[ness] ١٣٢ (132)

And enjoin prayer upon your family [and people] and be steadfast therein. We ask you not for provision; We provide for you, and the [best] outcome is for [those of] righteousness.

٢٠:١٣٣

وَقَالُوا۟ And they say لَوْلَا Why not يَأْتِينَا he brings us بِـَٔايَةٍۢ a sign مِّن from رَّبِّهِۦٓ ۚ his Lord أَوَلَمْ Has not تَأْتِهِم come to them بَيِّنَةُ evidence مَا (of) what فِى (was) in ٱلصُّحُفِ the Scriptures ٱلْأُولَىٰ the former ١٣٣ (133)

And they say, "Why does he not bring us a sign from his Lord?" Has there not come to them evidence of what was in the former scriptures?

٢٠:١٣٤

وَلَوْ And if أَنَّآ We أَهْلَكْنَـٰهُم (had) destroyed them بِعَذَابٍۢ with a punishment مِّن before him قَبْلِهِۦ before him لَقَالُوا۟ surely they (would) have said رَبَّنَا Our Lord لَوْلَآ why not أَرْسَلْتَ You sent إِلَيْنَا to us رَسُولًۭا a Messenger فَنَتَّبِعَ so we (could) have followed ءَايَـٰتِكَ Your signs مِن before قَبْلِ before أَن [that] نَّذِلَّ we were humiliated وَنَخْزَىٰ and disgraced ١٣٤ (134)

And if We had destroyed them with a punishment before him, they would have said, "Our Lord, why did You not send to us a messenger so we could have followed Your verses [i.e., teachings] before we were humiliated and disgraced?"

٢٠:١٣٥

قُلْ Say كُلٌّۭ Each مُّتَرَبِّصٌۭ (is) waiting فَتَرَبَّصُوا۟ ۖ so await فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ Then you will know مَنْ who أَصْحَـٰبُ (are the) companions ٱلصِّرَٰطِ (of) the way ٱلسَّوِىِّ [the] even وَمَنِ and who ٱهْتَدَىٰ is guided ١٣٥ (135)

Say, "Each [of us] is waiting; so wait. For you will know who are the companions of the sound path and who is guided."
