وَأَصْبَحَ And became فُؤَادُ (the) heart أُمِّ (of the) mother مُوسَىٰ (of) Musa فَـٰرِغًا ۖ empty إِن That كَادَتْ she was near لَتُبْدِى (to) disclosing بِهِۦ about him لَوْلَآ if not أَن that رَّبَطْنَا We strengthened عَلَىٰ [over] قَلْبِهَا her heart لِتَكُونَ so that she would be مِنَ of ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ the believers ١٠ (10)

And the heart of Moses' mother became empty [of all else]. She was about to disclose [the matter concerning] him had We not bound fast her heart that she would be of the believers.

٢٨:١١

وَقَالَتْ And she said لِأُخْتِهِۦ to his sister قُصِّيهِ ۖ Follow him فَبَصُرَتْ So she watched بِهِۦ him عَن from جُنُبٍۢ a distance وَهُمْ while they لَا (did) not يَشْعُرُونَ perceive ١١ (11)

And she said to his sister, "Follow him"; so she watched him from a distance while they perceived not.

۞ وَحَرَّمْنَا And We had forbidden عَلَيْهِ for him ٱلْمَرَاضِعَ the wet nurses مِن before قَبْلُ before فَقَالَتْ so she said هَلْ Shall I أَدُلُّكُمْ direct you عَلَىٰٓ to أَهْلِ (the) people بَيْتٍۢ (of) a house يَكْفُلُونَهُۥ who will rear him لَكُمْ for you وَهُمْ while they لَهُۥ to him نَـٰصِحُونَ (will be) sincere ١٢ (12)

And We had prevented from him [all] wet nurses before, so she said, "Shall I direct you to a household that will be responsible for him for you while they are to him [for his upbringing] sincere?"

فَرَدَدْنَـٰهُ So We restored him إِلَىٰٓ to أُمِّهِۦ his mother كَىْ that تَقَرَّ might be comforted عَيْنُهَا her eye وَلَا and not تَحْزَنَ she may grieve وَلِتَعْلَمَ and that she would know أَنَّ that وَعْدَ the Promise of Allah ٱللَّهِ the Promise of Allah حَقٌّۭ (is) true وَلَـٰكِنَّ But أَكْثَرَهُمْ most of them لَا (do) not يَعْلَمُونَ know ١٣ (13)

So We restored him to his mother that she might be content and not grieve and that she would know that the promise of Allāh is true. But most of them [i.e., the people] do not know.

وَلَمَّا And when بَلَغَ he reached أَشُدَّهُۥ his full strength وَٱسْتَوَىٰٓ and became mature ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ We bestowed upon him حُكْمًۭا wisdom وَعِلْمًۭا ۚ and knowledge وَكَذَٰلِكَ And thus نَجْزِى We reward ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ the good-doers ١٤ (14)

And when he attained his full strength and was [mentally] mature, We bestowed upon him judgement and knowledge. And thus do We reward the doers of good.

٢٨:١٥

وَدَخَلَ And he entered ٱلْمَدِينَةَ the city عَلَىٰ at حِينِ a time غَفْلَةٍۢ (of) inattention مِّنْ of أَهْلِهَا its people فَوَجَدَ and found فِيهَا therein رَجُلَيْنِ two men يَقْتَتِلَانِ fighting each other هَـٰذَا this مِن of شِيعَتِهِۦ his party وَهَـٰذَا and this مِنْ of عَدُوِّهِۦ ۖ his enemy فَٱسْتَغَـٰثَهُ And called him for help ٱلَّذِى the one who مِن (was) from شِيعَتِهِۦ his party عَلَى against ٱلَّذِى the one who مِنْ (was) from عَدُوِّهِۦ his enemy فَوَكَزَهُۥ so Musa struck him with his fist مُوسَىٰ so Musa struck him with his fist فَقَضَىٰ and killed him عَلَيْهِ ۖ and killed him قَالَ He said هَـٰذَا This (is) مِنْ of عَمَلِ (the) deed ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ ۖ (of) Shaitaan إِنَّهُۥ Indeed, he عَدُوٌّۭ (is) an enemy مُّضِلٌّۭ one who misleads مُّبِينٌۭ clearly ١٥ (15)

And he entered the city at a time of inattention by its people and found therein two men fighting: one from his faction and one from among his enemy. And the one from his faction called for help to him against the one from his enemy, so Moses struck him and [unintentionally] killed him. [Moses] said, "This is from the work of Satan. Indeed, he is a manifest, misleading enemy."

٢٨:١٦

قَالَ He said رَبِّ My Lord إِنِّى Indeed, I ظَلَمْتُ [I] have wronged نَفْسِى my soul فَٱغْفِرْ so forgive لِى [for] me فَغَفَرَ Then He forgave لَهُۥٓ ۚ [for] him إِنَّهُۥ Indeed He هُوَ He (is) ٱلْغَفُورُ the Oft-Forgiving ٱلرَّحِيمُ the Most Merciful ١٦ (16)

He said, "My Lord, indeed I have wronged myself, so forgive me," and He forgave him. Indeed, He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.

٢٨:١٧

قَالَ He said رَبِّ My Lord بِمَآ Because أَنْعَمْتَ You have favored عَلَىَّ [on] me فَلَنْ so not أَكُونَ I will be ظَهِيرًۭا a supporter لِّلْمُجْرِمِينَ (of) the criminals ١٧ (17)

He said, "My Lord, for the favor You bestowed upon me, I will never be an assistant to the criminals."

٢٨:١٨

فَأَصْبَحَ In the morning he was فِى in ٱلْمَدِينَةِ the city خَآئِفًۭا fearful يَتَرَقَّبُ (and) was vigilant فَإِذَا when behold ٱلَّذِى The one who ٱسْتَنصَرَهُۥ sought his help بِٱلْأَمْسِ the previous day يَسْتَصْرِخُهُۥ ۚ cried out to him for help قَالَ Said لَهُۥ to him مُوسَىٰٓ Musa إِنَّكَ Indeed, you لَغَوِىٌّۭ (are) surely a deviator مُّبِينٌۭ clear ١٨ (18)

And he became inside the city fearful and anticipating [exposure], when suddenly the one who sought his help the previous day cried out to him [once again]. Moses said to him, "Indeed, you are an evident, [persistent] deviator."

٢٨:١٩

فَلَمَّآ Then when أَنْ [that] أَرَادَ he wanted أَن to يَبْطِشَ strike بِٱلَّذِى the one who هُوَ [he] (was) عَدُوٌّۭ an enemy لَّهُمَا to both of them قَالَ he said يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ O Musa أَتُرِيدُ Do you intend أَن to تَقْتُلَنِى kill me كَمَا as قَتَلْتَ you killed نَفْسًۢا a person بِٱلْأَمْسِ ۖ yesterday إِن Not تُرِيدُ you want إِلَّآ but أَن that تَكُونَ you become جَبَّارًۭا a tyrant فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth وَمَا and not تُرِيدُ you want أَن that تَكُونَ you be مِنَ of ٱلْمُصْلِحِينَ the reformers ١٩ (19)

And when he wanted to strike the one who was an enemy to both of them, he said, "O Moses, do you intend to kill me as you killed someone yesterday? You only want to be a tyrant in the land and do not want to be of the amenders."

٢٨:٢٠

وَجَآءَ And came رَجُلٌۭ a man مِّنْ from أَقْصَا (the) farthest end ٱلْمَدِينَةِ (of) the city يَسْعَىٰ running قَالَ He said يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ O Musa إِنَّ Indeed ٱلْمَلَأَ the chiefs يَأْتَمِرُونَ are taking counsel بِكَ about you لِيَقْتُلُوكَ to kill you فَٱخْرُجْ so leave إِنِّى indeed, I am لَكَ to you مِنَ of ٱلنَّـٰصِحِينَ the sincere advisors ٢٠ (20)

And a man came from the farthest end of the city, running. He said, "O Moses, indeed the eminent ones are conferring over you [intending] to kill you, so leave [the city]; indeed, I am to you of the sincere advisors."

٢٨:٢١

فَخَرَجَ So he left مِنْهَا from it خَآئِفًۭا fearing يَتَرَقَّبُ ۖ (and) vigilant قَالَ He said رَبِّ My Lord نَجِّنِى Save me مِنَ from ٱلْقَوْمِ the people ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ the wrongdoers ٢١ (21)

So he left it, fearful and anticipating [apprehension]. He said, "My Lord, save me from the wrongdoing people."

٢٨:٢٢

وَلَمَّا And when تَوَجَّهَ he turned his face تِلْقَآءَ towards مَدْيَنَ Madyan قَالَ he said عَسَىٰ Perhaps رَبِّىٓ my Lord أَن [that] يَهْدِيَنِى will guide me سَوَآءَ (to the) sound ٱلسَّبِيلِ way ٢٢ (22)

And when he directed himself toward Madyan, he said, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me to the sound way."

٢٨:٢٣

وَلَمَّا And when وَرَدَ he came مَآءَ (to the) water مَدْيَنَ (of) Madyan وَجَدَ he found عَلَيْهِ on it أُمَّةًۭ a group مِّنَ of ٱلنَّاسِ men يَسْقُونَ watering وَوَجَدَ and he found مِن besides them دُونِهِمُ besides them ٱمْرَأَتَيْنِ two women تَذُودَانِ ۖ keeping back قَالَ He said مَا What خَطْبُكُمَا ۖ (is the) matter with both of you قَالَتَا They said لَا We cannot water نَسْقِى We cannot water حَتَّىٰ until يُصْدِرَ take away ٱلرِّعَآءُ ۖ the shepherds وَأَبُونَا and our father شَيْخٌۭ (is) a very old man كَبِيرٌۭ (is) a very old man ٢٣ (23)

And when he came to the water [i.e., well] of Madyan, he found there a crowd of people watering [their flocks], and he found aside from them two women holding back [their flocks]. He said, "What is your circumstance?" They said, "We do not water until the shepherds dispatch [their flocks]; and our father is an old man."

٢٨:٢٤

فَسَقَىٰ So he watered لَهُمَا for them ثُمَّ Then تَوَلَّىٰٓ he turned back إِلَى to ٱلظِّلِّ the shade فَقَالَ and said رَبِّ My Lord إِنِّى Indeed, I am لِمَآ of whatever أَنزَلْتَ You send إِلَىَّ to me مِنْ of خَيْرٍۢ good فَقِيرٌۭ (in) need ٢٤ (24)

So he watered [their flocks] for them; then he went back to the shade and said, "My Lord, indeed I am, for whatever good You would send down to me, in need."

٢٨:٢٥

فَجَآءَتْهُ Then came to him إِحْدَىٰهُمَا one of the two women تَمْشِى walking عَلَى with ٱسْتِحْيَآءٍۢ shyness قَالَتْ She said إِنَّ Indeed أَبِى my father يَدْعُوكَ calls you لِيَجْزِيَكَ that he may reward you أَجْرَ (the) reward مَا (for) what سَقَيْتَ you watered لَنَا ۚ for us فَلَمَّا So when جَآءَهُۥ he came to him وَقَصَّ and narrated عَلَيْهِ to him ٱلْقَصَصَ the story قَالَ he said لَا (Do) not تَخَفْ ۖ fear نَجَوْتَ You have escaped مِنَ from ٱلْقَوْمِ the people ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ the wrongdoers ٢٥ (25)

Then one of the two women came to him walking with shyness. She said, "Indeed, my father invites you that he may reward you for having watered for us." So when he came to him and related to him the story, he said, "Fear not. You have escaped from the wrongdoing people."

٢٨:٢٦

قَالَتْ Said إِحْدَىٰهُمَا one of them يَـٰٓأَبَتِ O my father ٱسْتَـْٔجِرْهُ ۖ Hire him إِنَّ Indeed خَيْرَ (the) best مَنِ whom ٱسْتَـْٔجَرْتَ you (can) hire ٱلْقَوِىُّ (is) the strong ٱلْأَمِينُ the trustworthy ٢٦ (26)

One of the women said, "O my father, hire him. Indeed, the best one you can hire is the strong and the trustworthy."

٢٨:٢٧

قَالَ He said إِنِّىٓ Indeed, I أُرِيدُ [I] wish أَنْ to أُنكِحَكَ marry you to إِحْدَى one ٱبْنَتَىَّ (of) my daughters هَـٰتَيْنِ (of) these two عَلَىٰٓ on أَن that تَأْجُرَنِى you serve me ثَمَـٰنِىَ (for) eight حِجَجٍۢ ۖ years فَإِنْ but if أَتْمَمْتَ you complete عَشْرًۭا ten فَمِنْ then from عِندِكَ ۖ you وَمَآ And not أُرِيدُ I wish أَنْ to أَشُقَّ make it difficult عَلَيْكَ ۚ for you سَتَجِدُنِىٓ You will find me إِن if شَآءَ Allah wills ٱللَّهُ Allah wills مِنَ of ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ the righteous ٢٧ (27)

He said, "Indeed, I wish to wed you one of these, my two daughters, on [the condition] that you serve me for eight years; but if you complete ten, it will be [as a favor] from you. And I do not wish to put you in difficulty. You will find me, if Allāh wills, from among the righteous."

٢٨:٢٨

قَالَ He said ذَٰلِكَ That بَيْنِى (is) between me وَبَيْنَكَ ۖ and between you أَيَّمَا Whichever ٱلْأَجَلَيْنِ (of) the two terms قَضَيْتُ I complete فَلَا then no عُدْوَٰنَ injustice عَلَىَّ ۖ to me وَٱللَّهُ and Allah عَلَىٰ over مَا what نَقُولُ we say وَكِيلٌۭ (is) a Witness ٢٨ (28)

[Moses] said, "That is [established] between me and you. Whichever of the two terms I complete - there is no injustice to me, and Allāh, over what we say, is Witness."

٢٨:٢٩

۞ فَلَمَّا Then when قَضَىٰ Musa fulfilled مُوسَى Musa fulfilled ٱلْأَجَلَ the term وَسَارَ and was traveling بِأَهْلِهِۦٓ with his family ءَانَسَ he saw مِن in جَانِبِ (the) direction ٱلطُّورِ (of) Mount Tur نَارًۭا a fire قَالَ He said لِأَهْلِهِ to his family ٱمْكُثُوٓا۟ Stay here إِنِّىٓ indeed, I ءَانَسْتُ [I] perceive نَارًۭا a fire لَّعَلِّىٓ Perhaps ءَاتِيكُم I will bring you مِّنْهَا from there بِخَبَرٍ some information أَوْ or جَذْوَةٍۢ a burning wood مِّنَ from ٱلنَّارِ the fire لَعَلَّكُمْ so that you may تَصْطَلُونَ warm yourselves ٢٩ (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."

٢٨:٣٠

فَلَمَّآ But when أَتَىٰهَا he came (to) it نُودِىَ he was called مِن from شَـٰطِئِ (the) side ٱلْوَادِ (of) the valley ٱلْأَيْمَنِ the right فِى in ٱلْبُقْعَةِ the place even ٱلْمُبَـٰرَكَةِ blessed مِنَ from ٱلشَّجَرَةِ the tree أَن that يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ O Musa إِنِّىٓ Indeed أَنَا I Am ٱللَّهُ Allah رَبُّ (the) Lord ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ (of) the worlds ٣٠ (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 Allāh, Lord of the worlds."

٢٨:٣١

وَأَنْ And [that] أَلْقِ throw عَصَاكَ ۖ your staff فَلَمَّا But when رَءَاهَا he saw it تَهْتَزُّ moving كَأَنَّهَا as if it جَآنٌّۭ (were) a snake وَلَّىٰ he turned مُدْبِرًۭا (in) flight وَلَمْ and (did) not يُعَقِّبْ ۚ return يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ O Musa أَقْبِلْ Draw near وَلَا and (do) not تَخَفْ ۖ fear إِنَّكَ Indeed, you مِنَ (are) of ٱلْـَٔامِنِينَ the secure ٣١ (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. [Allāh said], "O Moses, approach and fear not. Indeed, you are of the secure.

٢٨:٣٢

ٱسْلُكْ Insert يَدَكَ your hand فِى in جَيْبِكَ your bosom تَخْرُجْ it will come forth بَيْضَآءَ white مِنْ without غَيْرِ without سُوٓءٍۢ any harm وَٱضْمُمْ And draw إِلَيْكَ to yourselves جَنَاحَكَ your hand مِنَ against ٱلرَّهْبِ ۖ fear فَذَٰنِكَ So these بُرْهَـٰنَانِ (are) two evidences مِن from رَّبِّكَ your Lord إِلَىٰ to فِرْعَوْنَ Firaun وَمَلَإِي۟هِۦٓ ۚ and his chiefs إِنَّهُمْ Indeed, they كَانُوا۟ are قَوْمًۭا a people فَـٰسِقِينَ defiantly disobedient ٣٢ (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."

٢٨:٣٣

قَالَ He said رَبِّ My Lord إِنِّى Indeed قَتَلْتُ I killed مِنْهُمْ of them نَفْسًۭا a man فَأَخَافُ and I fear أَن that يَقْتُلُونِ they will kill me ٣٣ (33)

He said, "My Lord, indeed I killed from among them someone, and I fear they will kill me.

٢٨:٣٤

وَأَخِى And my brother هَـٰرُونُ Harun هُوَ he أَفْصَحُ (is) more eloquent مِنِّى than me لِسَانًۭا (in) speech فَأَرْسِلْهُ so send him مَعِىَ with me رِدْءًۭا (as) a helper يُصَدِّقُنِىٓ ۖ who will confirm me إِنِّىٓ Indeed أَخَافُ I fear أَن that يُكَذِّبُونِ they will deny me ٣٤ (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."

٢٨:٣٥

قَالَ He said سَنَشُدُّ We will strengthen عَضُدَكَ your arm بِأَخِيكَ through your brother وَنَجْعَلُ and We will make لَكُمَا for both of you سُلْطَـٰنًۭا an authority فَلَا so not يَصِلُونَ they will reach إِلَيْكُمَا ۚ to both of you بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ Through Our Signs أَنتُمَا you two وَمَنِ and (those) who ٱتَّبَعَكُمَا follow you ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ (will) be the dominant ٣٥ (35)

[Allāh] 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."

٢٨:٣٦

فَلَمَّا But when جَآءَهُم came to them مُّوسَىٰ Musa بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا with Our Signs بَيِّنَـٰتٍۢ clear قَالُوا۟ they said مَا Not هَـٰذَآ (is) this إِلَّا except سِحْرٌۭ a magic مُّفْتَرًۭى invented وَمَا and not سَمِعْنَا we heard بِهَـٰذَا of this فِىٓ among ءَابَآئِنَا our forefathers ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ our forefathers ٣٦ (36)

But when Moses came to them with Our signs as clear evidences, they said, "This is not except invented magic, and we have not heard of this [religion] among our forefathers."

٢٨:٣٧

وَقَالَ And Musa said مُوسَىٰ And Musa said رَبِّىٓ My Lord أَعْلَمُ knows best بِمَن of who جَآءَ has come بِٱلْهُدَىٰ with [the] guidance مِنْ from Him عِندِهِۦ from Him وَمَن and who تَكُونُ will be لَهُۥ for him عَـٰقِبَةُ the good end in the Hereafter ٱلدَّارِ ۖ the good end in the Hereafter إِنَّهُۥ Indeed لَا not يُفْلِحُ will be successful ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ the wrongdoers ٣٧ (37)

And Moses said, "My Lord is more knowing [than we or you] of who has come with guidance from Him and to whom will be succession in the home. Indeed, wrongdoers do not succeed."

٢٨:٣٨

وَقَالَ And Firaun said فِرْعَوْنُ And Firaun said يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O chiefs ٱلْمَلَأُ O chiefs مَا Not عَلِمْتُ I know لَكُم for you مِّنْ any إِلَـٰهٍ god غَيْرِى other than me فَأَوْقِدْ So kindle لِى for me يَـٰهَـٰمَـٰنُ O Haman عَلَى Upon ٱلطِّينِ the clay فَٱجْعَل and make لِّى for me صَرْحًۭا a lofty tower لَّعَلِّىٓ so that [I] أَطَّلِعُ I may look إِلَىٰٓ at إِلَـٰهِ (the) God مُوسَىٰ (of) Musa وَإِنِّى And indeed, I لَأَظُنُّهُۥ [I] think that he مِنَ (is) of ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ the liars ٣٨ (38)

And Pharaoh said, "O eminent ones, I have not known you to have a god other than me. Then ignite for me, O Hāmān, [a fire] upon the clay and make for me a tower that I may look at the God of Moses. And indeed, I do think he is among the liars."

٢٨:٣٩

وَٱسْتَكْبَرَ And he was arrogant هُوَ And he was arrogant وَجُنُودُهُۥ and his hosts فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the land بِغَيْرِ without ٱلْحَقِّ right وَظَنُّوٓا۟ and they thought أَنَّهُمْ that they إِلَيْنَا to Us لَا not يُرْجَعُونَ will be returned ٣٩ (39)

And he was arrogant, he and his soldiers, in the land, without right, and they thought that they would not be returned to Us.

٢٨:٤٠

فَأَخَذْنَـٰهُ So We seized him وَجُنُودَهُۥ and his hosts فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُمْ and We threw them فِى in ٱلْيَمِّ ۖ the sea فَٱنظُرْ So see كَيْفَ how كَانَ was عَـٰقِبَةُ (the) end ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ (of) the wrongdoers ٤٠ (40)

So We took him and his soldiers and threw them into the sea. So see how was the end of the wrongdoers.

٢٨:٤١

وَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ And We made them أَئِمَّةًۭ leaders يَدْعُونَ inviting إِلَى to ٱلنَّارِ ۖ the Fire وَيَوْمَ and (on the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ (of) the Resurrection لَا not يُنصَرُونَ they will be helped ٤١ (41)

And We made them leaders inviting to the Fire, and on the Day of Resurrection they will not be helped.

٢٨:٤٢

وَأَتْبَعْنَـٰهُمْ And We caused to follow them فِى in هَـٰذِهِ this ٱلدُّنْيَا world لَعْنَةًۭ ۖ a curse وَيَوْمَ and (on the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ (of) the Resurrection هُم they مِّنَ (will be) of ٱلْمَقْبُوحِينَ the despised ٤٢ (42)

And We caused to overtake them in this world a curse, and on the Day of Resurrection they will be of the despised.

٢٨:٤٣

وَلَقَدْ And verily ءَاتَيْنَا We gave مُوسَى Musa ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Scripture مِنۢ after [what] بَعْدِ after [what] مَآ after [what] أَهْلَكْنَا We had destroyed ٱلْقُرُونَ the generations ٱلْأُولَىٰ former بَصَآئِرَ (as) an enlightenment لِلنَّاسِ for the mankind وَهُدًۭى and a guidance وَرَحْمَةًۭ and mercy لَّعَلَّهُمْ that they may يَتَذَكَّرُونَ remember ٤٣ (43)

And We gave Moses the Scripture, after We had destroyed the former generations, as enlightenment for the people and guidance and mercy that they might be reminded.

٢٨:٤٤

وَمَا And not كُنتَ you were بِجَانِبِ on (the) side ٱلْغَرْبِىِّ western إِذْ when قَضَيْنَآ We decreed إِلَىٰ to مُوسَى Musa ٱلْأَمْرَ the Commandment وَمَا and not كُنتَ you were مِنَ among ٱلشَّـٰهِدِينَ the witnesses ٤٤ (44)

And you, [O Muḥammad], were not on the western side [of the mount] when We revealed to Moses the command, and you were not among the witnesses [to that].

٢٨:٤٥

وَلَـٰكِنَّآ But We أَنشَأْنَا [We] produced قُرُونًۭا generations فَتَطَاوَلَ and prolonged عَلَيْهِمُ for them ٱلْعُمُرُ ۚ the life وَمَا And not كُنتَ you were ثَاوِيًۭا a dweller فِىٓ among أَهْلِ (the) people مَدْيَنَ (of) Madyan تَتْلُوا۟ reciting عَلَيْهِمْ to them ءَايَـٰتِنَا Our Verses وَلَـٰكِنَّا but We كُنَّا [We] were مُرْسِلِينَ the Senders ٤٥ (45)

But We produced [many] generations [after Moses], and prolonged was their duration. And you were not a resident among the people of Madyan, reciting to them Our verses, but We were senders [of this message].

٢٨:٤٦

وَمَا And not كُنتَ you were بِجَانِبِ at (the) side ٱلطُّورِ (of) the Tur إِذْ when نَادَيْنَا We called وَلَـٰكِن But رَّحْمَةًۭ (as) a mercy مِّن from رَّبِّكَ your Lord لِتُنذِرَ so that you warn قَوْمًۭا a people مَّآ not أَتَىٰهُم (had) come to them مِّن any نَّذِيرٍۢ warner مِّن before you قَبْلِكَ before you لَعَلَّهُمْ so that they may يَتَذَكَّرُونَ remember ٤٦ (46)

And you were not at the side of the mount when We called [Moses] but [were sent] as a mercy from your Lord to warn a people to whom no warner had come before you that they might be reminded.

٢٨:٤٧

وَلَوْلَآ And if not أَن [that] تُصِيبَهُم struck them مُّصِيبَةٌۢ a disaster بِمَا for what قَدَّمَتْ had sent forth أَيْدِيهِمْ their hands فَيَقُولُوا۟ and they would say رَبَّنَا Our Lord لَوْلَآ Why not أَرْسَلْتَ You sent إِلَيْنَا to us رَسُولًۭا a Messenger فَنَتَّبِعَ so we (could have) followed ءَايَـٰتِكَ Your Verses وَنَكُونَ and we (would) have been مِنَ of ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ the believers ٤٧ (47)

And if not that a disaster should strike them for what their hands put forth [of sins] and they would say, "Our Lord, why did You not send us a messenger so we could have followed Your verses and been among the believers?"...

٢٨:٤٨

فَلَمَّا But when جَآءَهُمُ came to them ٱلْحَقُّ the truth مِنْ from Us عِندِنَا from Us قَالُوا۟ they said لَوْلَآ Why not أُوتِىَ he was given مِثْلَ (the) like مَآ (of) what أُوتِىَ was given مُوسَىٰٓ ۚ (to) Musa أَوَلَمْ Did not يَكْفُرُوا۟ they disbelieve بِمَآ in what أُوتِىَ was given مُوسَىٰ (to) Musa مِن before قَبْلُ ۖ before قَالُوا۟ They said سِحْرَانِ Two magic (works) تَظَـٰهَرَا supporting each other وَقَالُوٓا۟ And they said إِنَّا Indeed, we بِكُلٍّۢ in all كَـٰفِرُونَ (are) disbelievers ٤٨ (48)

But when the truth came to them from Us, they said, "Why was he not given like that which was given to Moses?" Did they not disbelieve in that which was given to Moses before? They said, "[They are but] two works of magic supporting each other, and indeed we are, in both, disbelievers."

٢٨:٤٩

قُلْ Say فَأْتُوا۟ Then bring بِكِتَـٰبٍۢ a Book مِّنْ from Allah عِندِ from Allah ٱللَّهِ from Allah هُوَ which أَهْدَىٰ (is) a better guide مِنْهُمَآ than both of them أَتَّبِعْهُ that I may follow it إِن if كُنتُمْ you are صَـٰدِقِينَ truthful ٤٩ (49)

Say, "Then bring a scripture from Allāh which is more guiding than either of them that I may follow it, if you should be truthful."

٢٨:٥٠

فَإِن But if لَّمْ not يَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ they respond لَكَ to you فَٱعْلَمْ then know أَنَّمَا that only يَتَّبِعُونَ they follow أَهْوَآءَهُمْ ۚ their desires وَمَنْ And who أَضَلُّ (is) more astray مِمَّنِ than (one) who ٱتَّبَعَ follows هَوَىٰهُ his own desire بِغَيْرِ without هُدًۭى guidance مِّنَ from ٱللَّهِ ۚ Allah إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah لَا (does) not يَهْدِى guide ٱلْقَوْمَ the people ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ the wrongdoers ٥٠ (50)

But if they do not respond to you - then know that they only follow their [own] desires. And who is more astray than one who follows his desire without guidance from Allāh? Indeed, Allāh does not guide the wrongdoing people.

٢٨:٥١

۞ وَلَقَدْ And indeed وَصَّلْنَا We have conveyed لَهُمُ to them ٱلْقَوْلَ the Word لَعَلَّهُمْ so that they may يَتَذَكَّرُونَ remember ٥١ (51)

And We have [repeatedly] conveyed to them the word [i.e., the Qur’ān] that they might be reminded.

٢٨:٥٢

ٱلَّذِينَ Those who ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمُ We gave them ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Scripture مِن before it قَبْلِهِۦ before it هُم they بِهِۦ in it يُؤْمِنُونَ believe ٥٢ (52)

Those to whom We gave the Scripture before it - they are believers in it.

٢٨:٥٣

وَإِذَا And when يُتْلَىٰ it is recited عَلَيْهِمْ to them قَالُوٓا۟ they say ءَامَنَّا We believe بِهِۦٓ in it إِنَّهُ Indeed, it ٱلْحَقُّ (is) the truth مِن from رَّبِّنَآ our Lord إِنَّا Indeed, we كُنَّا [we] were مِن before it قَبْلِهِۦ before it مُسْلِمِينَ Muslims ٥٣ (53)

And when it is recited to them, they say, "We have believed in it; indeed, it is the truth from our Lord. Indeed we were, [even] before it, Muslims [i.e., submitting to Allāh]."

٢٨:٥٤

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ Those يُؤْتَوْنَ will be given أَجْرَهُم their reward مَّرَّتَيْنِ twice بِمَا because صَبَرُوا۟ they are patient وَيَدْرَءُونَ and they repel بِٱلْحَسَنَةِ with good ٱلسَّيِّئَةَ the evil وَمِمَّا and from what رَزَقْنَـٰهُمْ We have provided them يُنفِقُونَ they spend ٥٤ (54)

Those will be given their reward twice for what they patiently endured and [because] they avert evil through good, and from what We have provided them they spend.

٢٨:٥٥

وَإِذَا And when سَمِعُوا۟ they hear ٱللَّغْوَ vain talk أَعْرَضُوا۟ they turn away عَنْهُ from it وَقَالُوا۟ and say لَنَآ For us أَعْمَـٰلُنَا our deeds وَلَكُمْ and for you أَعْمَـٰلُكُمْ your deeds سَلَـٰمٌ Peace (be) عَلَيْكُمْ on you لَا not نَبْتَغِى we seek ٱلْجَـٰهِلِينَ the ignorant ٥٥ (55)

And when they hear ill speech, they turn away from it and say, "For us are our deeds, and for you are your deeds. Peace will be upon you; we seek not the ignorant."

٢٨:٥٦

إِنَّكَ Indeed, you لَا (can) not تَهْدِى guide مَنْ whom أَحْبَبْتَ you love وَلَـٰكِنَّ but ٱللَّهَ Allah يَهْدِى guides مَن whom يَشَآءُ ۚ He wills وَهُوَ And He أَعْلَمُ (is) most knowing بِٱلْمُهْتَدِينَ (of) the guided ones ٥٦ (56)

Indeed, [O Muḥammad], you do not guide whom you like, but Allāh guides whom He wills. And He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.

٢٨:٥٧

وَقَالُوٓا۟ And they say إِن If نَّتَّبِعِ we follow ٱلْهُدَىٰ the guidance مَعَكَ with you نُتَخَطَّفْ we would be swept مِنْ from أَرْضِنَآ ۚ our land أَوَلَمْ Have not نُمَكِّن We established لَّهُمْ for them حَرَمًا a sanctuary ءَامِنًۭا secure يُجْبَىٰٓ are brought إِلَيْهِ to it ثَمَرَٰتُ fruits كُلِّ (of) all شَىْءٍۢ things رِّزْقًۭا a provision مِّن from لَّدُنَّا Us وَلَـٰكِنَّ But أَكْثَرَهُمْ most of them لَا (do) not يَعْلَمُونَ know ٥٧ (57)

And they [i.e., the Quraysh] say, "If we were to follow the guidance with you, we would be swept from our land." Have We not established for them a safe sanctuary to which are brought the fruits of all things as provision from Us? But most of them do not know.

٢٨:٥٨

وَكَمْ And how many أَهْلَكْنَا We have destroyed مِن of قَرْيَةٍۭ a town بَطِرَتْ which exulted مَعِيشَتَهَا ۖ (in) its means of livelihood فَتِلْكَ And these مَسَـٰكِنُهُمْ (are) their dwellings لَمْ not تُسْكَن have been inhabited مِّنۢ after them بَعْدِهِمْ after them إِلَّا except قَلِيلًۭا ۖ a little وَكُنَّا And indeed, [We] نَحْنُ We ٱلْوَٰرِثِينَ (are) the inheritors ٥٨ (58)

And how many a city have We destroyed that was insolent in its [way of] living, and those are their dwellings which have not been inhabited after them except briefly. And it is We who were the inheritors.

٢٨:٥٩

وَمَا And not كَانَ was رَبُّكَ your Lord مُهْلِكَ (the) one to destroy ٱلْقُرَىٰ the towns حَتَّىٰ until يَبْعَثَ He (had) sent فِىٓ in أُمِّهَا their mother (town) رَسُولًۭا a Messenger يَتْلُوا۟ reciting عَلَيْهِمْ to them ءَايَـٰتِنَا ۚ Our Verses وَمَا And not كُنَّا We would be مُهْلِكِى (the) one to destroy ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ the towns إِلَّا except وَأَهْلُهَا while their people ظَـٰلِمُونَ (were) wrongdoers ٥٩ (59)

And never would your Lord have destroyed the cities until He had sent to their mother [i.e., principal city] a messenger reciting to them Our verses. And We would not destroy the cities except while their people were wrongdoers.

٢٨:٦٠

وَمَآ And whatever أُوتِيتُم you have been given مِّن from شَىْءٍۢ things فَمَتَـٰعُ (is) an enjoyment ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ (of the) life ٱلدُّنْيَا (of) the world وَزِينَتُهَا ۚ and its adornment وَمَا And what عِندَ (is) with ٱللَّهِ Allah خَيْرٌۭ (is) better وَأَبْقَىٰٓ ۚ and more lasting أَفَلَا So (will) not تَعْقِلُونَ you use intellect ٦٠ (60)

And whatever thing you [people] have been given - it is [only for] the enjoyment of worldly life and its adornment. And what is with Allāh is better and more lasting; so will you not use reason?

٢٨:٦١

أَفَمَن Then is (he) whom وَعَدْنَـٰهُ We have promised him وَعْدًا a promise حَسَنًۭا good فَهُوَ and he لَـٰقِيهِ (will) meet it كَمَن like (the one) whom مَّتَّعْنَـٰهُ We provided him مَتَـٰعَ enjoyment ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ (of the) life ٱلدُّنْيَا (of) the world ثُمَّ then هُوَ he يَوْمَ (on the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ (of) the Resurrection مِنَ (will be) among ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ those presented ٦١ (61)

Then is he whom We have promised a good promise which he will meet [i.e., obtain] like he for whom We provided enjoyment of worldly life [but] then he is, on the Day of Resurrection, among those presented [for punishment in Hell]?

٢٨:٦٢

وَيَوْمَ And (the) Day يُنَادِيهِمْ He will call them فَيَقُولُ and say أَيْنَ Where شُرَكَآءِىَ (are) My partners ٱلَّذِينَ whom كُنتُمْ you used (to) تَزْعُمُونَ claim ٦٢ (62)

And [warn of] the Day He will call them and say, "Where are My 'partners' which you used to claim?"

٢٨:٦٣

قَالَ (Will) say ٱلَّذِينَ those حَقَّ (has) come true عَلَيْهِمُ against whom ٱلْقَوْلُ the Word رَبَّنَا Our Lord هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ These ٱلَّذِينَ (are) those whom أَغْوَيْنَآ we led astray أَغْوَيْنَـٰهُمْ We led them astray كَمَا as غَوَيْنَا ۖ we were astray تَبَرَّأْنَآ We declare our innocence إِلَيْكَ ۖ before You مَا Not كَانُوٓا۟ they used (to) إِيَّانَا worship us يَعْبُدُونَ worship us ٦٣ (63)

Those upon whom the word will have come into effect will say, "Our Lord, these are the ones we led to error. We led them to error just as we were in error. We declare our disassociation [from them] to You. They did not used to worship [i.e., obey] us."2

٢٨:٦٤

وَقِيلَ And it will be said ٱدْعُوا۟ Call شُرَكَآءَكُمْ your partners فَدَعَوْهُمْ And they will call them فَلَمْ but not يَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ they will respond لَهُمْ to them وَرَأَوُا۟ and they will see ٱلْعَذَابَ ۚ the punishment لَوْ If only أَنَّهُمْ [that] they كَانُوا۟ had been يَهْتَدُونَ guided ٦٤ (64)

And it will be said, "Invoke your 'partners,'" and they will invoke them; but they will not respond to them, and they will see the punishment. If only they had followed guidance!

٢٨:٦٥

وَيَوْمَ And (the) Day يُنَادِيهِمْ He will call them فَيَقُولُ and say مَاذَآ What أَجَبْتُمُ did you answer ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ the Messengers ٦٥ (65)

And [mention] the Day He will call them and say, "What did you answer the messengers?"

٢٨:٦٦

فَعَمِيَتْ But (will) be obscure عَلَيْهِمُ to them ٱلْأَنۢبَآءُ the information يَوْمَئِذٍۢ that day فَهُمْ so they لَا will not ask one another يَتَسَآءَلُونَ will not ask one another ٦٦ (66)

But the information will be unapparent to them that Day, so they will not [be able to] ask one another.

٢٨:٦٧

فَأَمَّا But as for مَن (him) who تَابَ repented وَءَامَنَ and believed وَعَمِلَ and did صَـٰلِحًۭا righteousness فَعَسَىٰٓ then perhaps أَن [that] يَكُونَ he will be مِنَ of ٱلْمُفْلِحِينَ the successful ones ٦٧ (67)

But as for one who had repented, believed, and done righteousness, it is expected [i.e., promised by Allāh] that he will be among the successful.

٢٨:٦٨

وَرَبُّكَ And your Lord يَخْلُقُ creates مَا what يَشَآءُ He wills وَيَخْتَارُ ۗ and chooses مَا Not كَانَ they have لَهُمُ for them ٱلْخِيَرَةُ ۚ the choice سُبْحَـٰنَ Glory be ٱللَّهِ (to) Allah وَتَعَـٰلَىٰ and High is He عَمَّا above what يُشْرِكُونَ they associate (with Him) ٦٨ (68)

And your Lord creates what He wills and chooses; not for them was the choice. Exalted is Allāh and high above what they associate with Him.

٢٨:٦٩

وَرَبُّكَ And your Lord يَعْلَمُ knows مَا what تُكِنُّ conceals صُدُورُهُمْ their breasts وَمَا and what يُعْلِنُونَ they declare ٦٩ (69)

And your Lord knows what their breasts conceal and what they declare.

٢٨:٧٠

وَهُوَ And He ٱللَّهُ (is) Allah لَآ (there is) no إِلَـٰهَ god إِلَّا but هُوَ ۖ He لَهُ To Him ٱلْحَمْدُ (are due) all praises فِى in ٱلْأُولَىٰ the first وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ ۖ and the last وَلَهُ And for Him ٱلْحُكْمُ (is) the Decision وَإِلَيْهِ and to Him تُرْجَعُونَ you will be returned ٧٠ (70)

And He is Allāh; there is no deity except Him. To Him is [due all] praise in the first [life] and the Hereafter. And His is the [final] decision, and to Him you will be returned.

٢٨:٧١

قُلْ Say أَرَءَيْتُمْ Have you seen إِن if جَعَلَ Allah made ٱللَّهُ Allah made عَلَيْكُمُ for you ٱلَّيْلَ the night سَرْمَدًا continuous إِلَىٰ till يَوْمِ (the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ (of) the Resurrection مَنْ who إِلَـٰهٌ (is the) god غَيْرُ besides ٱللَّهِ Allah يَأْتِيكُم who could bring you بِضِيَآءٍ ۖ light أَفَلَا Then will not تَسْمَعُونَ you hear ٧١ (71)

Say, "Have you considered: if Allāh should make for you the night continuous until the Day of Resurrection, what deity other than Allāh could bring you light? Then will you not hear?"

٢٨:٧٢

قُلْ Say أَرَءَيْتُمْ Have you seen إِن if جَعَلَ Allah made ٱللَّهُ Allah made عَلَيْكُمُ for you ٱلنَّهَارَ the day سَرْمَدًا continuous إِلَىٰ till يَوْمِ (the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ (of) the Resurrection مَنْ who إِلَـٰهٌ (is the) god غَيْرُ besides ٱللَّهِ Allah يَأْتِيكُم who could bring you بِلَيْلٍۢ night تَسْكُنُونَ (for) you (to) rest فِيهِ ۖ in it أَفَلَا Then will not تُبْصِرُونَ you see ٧٢ (72)

Say, "Have you considered: if Allāh should make for you the day continuous until the Day of Resurrection, what deity other than Allāh could bring you a night in which you may rest? Then will you not see?"

٢٨:٧٣

وَمِن And from رَّحْمَتِهِۦ His Mercy جَعَلَ He made لَكُمُ for you ٱلَّيْلَ the night وَٱلنَّهَارَ and the day لِتَسْكُنُوا۟ that you may rest فِيهِ therein وَلِتَبْتَغُوا۟ and that you may seek مِن from فَضْلِهِۦ His Bounty وَلَعَلَّكُمْ and so that you may تَشْكُرُونَ be grateful ٧٣ (73)

And out of His mercy He made for you the night and the day that you may rest therein and [by day] seek from His bounty and [that] perhaps you will be grateful.

٢٨:٧٤

وَيَوْمَ And (the) Day يُنَادِيهِمْ He will call them فَيَقُولُ and say أَيْنَ Where شُرَكَآءِىَ (are) My partners ٱلَّذِينَ whom كُنتُمْ you used (to) تَزْعُمُونَ claim ٧٤ (74)

And [warn of] the Day He will call them and say, "Where are My 'partners' which you used to claim?"

٢٨:٧٥

وَنَزَعْنَا And We will draw forth مِن from كُلِّ every أُمَّةٍۢ nation شَهِيدًۭا a witness فَقُلْنَا and We will say هَاتُوا۟ Bring بُرْهَـٰنَكُمْ your proof فَعَلِمُوٓا۟ Then they will know أَنَّ that ٱلْحَقَّ the truth لِلَّهِ (is) for Allah وَضَلَّ and (will be) lost عَنْهُم from them مَّا what كَانُوا۟ they used (to) يَفْتَرُونَ invent ٧٥ (75)

And We will extract from every nation a witness and say, "Produce your proof," and they will know that the truth belongs to Allāh, and lost from them is that which they used to invent.

٢٨:٧٦

۞ إِنَّ Indeed قَـٰرُونَ Qarun كَانَ was مِن from قَوْمِ (the) people مُوسَىٰ (of) Musa فَبَغَىٰ but he oppressed عَلَيْهِمْ ۖ [on] them وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ And We gave him مِنَ of ٱلْكُنُوزِ the treasures مَآ which إِنَّ indeed مَفَاتِحَهُۥ (the) keys of it لَتَنُوٓأُ would burden بِٱلْعُصْبَةِ a company (of men) أُو۟لِى possessors of great strength ٱلْقُوَّةِ possessors of great strength إِذْ When قَالَ said لَهُۥ to him قَوْمُهُۥ his people لَا (Do) not تَفْرَحْ ۖ exult إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah لَا (does) not يُحِبُّ love ٱلْفَرِحِينَ the exultant ٧٦ (76)

Indeed, Qārūn was from the people of Moses, but he tyrannized them. And We gave him of treasures whose keys would burden a band of strong men; thereupon his people said to him, "Do not exult. Indeed, Allāh does not like the exultant.

٢٨:٧٧

وَٱبْتَغِ But seek فِيمَآ through what ءَاتَىٰكَ Allah has given you ٱللَّهُ Allah has given you ٱلدَّارَ the home ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ ۖ (of) the Hereafter وَلَا and (do) not تَنسَ forget نَصِيبَكَ your share مِنَ of ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ the world وَأَحْسِن And do good كَمَآ as أَحْسَنَ Allah has been good ٱللَّهُ Allah has been good إِلَيْكَ ۖ to you وَلَا And (do) not تَبْغِ seek ٱلْفَسَادَ corruption فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ the earth إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah لَا (does) not يُحِبُّ love ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ the corrupters ٧٧ (77)

He said, "I was only given it because of knowledge I have." Did he not know that Allāh had destroyed before him of generations those who were greater than him in power and greater in accumulation [of wealth]? But the criminals, about their sins, will not be asked.

That لَا not يُفْلِحُ will succeed ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ the disbelievers ٨٢ (82)

And those who had wished for his position the previous day began to say, "Oh, how Allāh extends provision to whom He wills of His servants and restricts it! If not that Allāh had conferred favor on us, He would have caused it to swallow us. Oh, how the disbelievers do not succeed!"
