Ṭā, Hā.

Ta-ha

We have not sent down to you the Qur’ān that you be distressed

Ma anzalna AAalayka alqur-analitashqa

But only as a reminder for those who fear [Allāh] -

Illa tathkiratan liman yakhsha

A revelation from He who created the earth and highest heavens,

Tanzeelan mimman khalaqa al-arda wassamawatialAAula

The Most Merciful [who is] above the Throne established.

Arrahmanu AAalaalAAarshi istawa

To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth and what is between them and what is under the soil.

Lahu ma fee assamawatiwama fee al-ardi wama baynahuma wamatahta aththara

And if you speak aloud - then indeed, He knows the secret and what is [even] more hidden.

Wa-in tajhar bilqawli fa-innahuyaAAlamu assirra waakhfa

Allāh - there is no deity except Him. To Him belong the best names.

Allahu la ilaha illahuwa lahu al-asmao alhusna

And has the story of Moses reached you? -

Wahal ataka hadeethu moosa

When he saw a fire and said to his family, "Stay here; indeed, I have perceived a fire; perhaps I can bring you a torch or find at the fire some guidance."

Ith raa naran faqalali-ahlihi omkuthoo innee anastu naran laAAallee ateekumminha biqabasin aw ajidu AAala annarihuda

And when he came to it, he was called, "O Moses,

Falamma ataha noodiya yamoosa

Indeed, I am your Lord, so remove your sandals. Indeed, you are in the blessed valley of Ṭuwā.

Innee ana rabbuka fakhlaAAnaAAlayka innaka bilwadi almuqaddasi tuwa

And I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed [to you].

Waana ikhtartuka fastamiAAlima yooha

Indeed, I am Allāh. There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance.

Innanee ana Allahu lailaha illa ana faAAbudnee waaqimi assalatalithikree

Indeed, the Hour is coming - I almost conceal it - so that every soul may be recompensed according to that for which it strives.

Inna assaAAata atiyatunakadu okhfeeha litujza kullu nafsin bimatasAAa

So do not let one avert you from it who does not believe in it and follows his desire, for you [then] would perish.

Fala yasuddannaka AAanhaman la yu/minu biha wattabaAAa hawahufatarda

And what is that in your right hand, O Moses?"

Wama tilka biyameenika ya moosa

He said, "It is my staff; I lean upon it, and I bring down leaves for my sheep and I have therein other uses."

Qala hiya AAasaya atawakkaoAAalayha waahushshu biha AAala ghanameewaliya feeha maaribu okhra

[Allāh] said, "Throw it down, O Moses."

Qala alqiha ya moosa

So he threw it down, and thereupon it was a snake, moving swiftly.

Faalqaha fa-itha hiya hayyatuntasAAa

[Allāh] said, "Seize it and fear not; We will return it to its former condition.

Qala khuthha walatakhaf sanuAAeeduha seerataha al-oola

And draw in your hand to your side; it will come out white without disease - another sign,

Wadmum yadaka ila janahikatakhruj baydaa min ghayri soo-in ayatan okhra

That We may show you [some] of Our greater signs.

Linuriyaka min ayatinaalkubra

Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed [i.e., tyrannized]."

Ithhab ila firAAawna innahu tagha

[Moses] said, "My Lord, expand [i.e., relax] for me my breast [with assurance]

Qala rabbi ishrah lee sadree

And ease for me my task

Wayassir lee amree

And untie the knot from my tongue

Wahlul AAuqdatan min lisanee

That they may understand my speech.

Yafqahoo qawlee

And appoint for me a minister [i.e., assistant] from my family -

WajAAal lee wazeeran min ahlee

Aaron, my brother.

Haroona akhee

Increase through him my strength

Oshdud bihi azree

And let him share my task

Waashrik-hu fee amree

That we may exalt You much

Kay nusabbihaka katheera

And remember You much.

Wanathkuraka katheera

Indeed, You are of us ever Seeing."

Innaka kunta bina baseera

[Allāh] said, "You have been granted your request, O Moses.

Qala qad ooteeta su/laka yamoosa

And We had already conferred favor upon you another time,

Walaqad mananna AAalayka marratanokhra

When We inspired to your mother what We inspired,

Ith awhayna ilaommika ma yooha

[Saying], 'Cast him into the chest and cast it into the river, and the river will throw it onto the bank; there will take him an enemy to Me and an enemy to him.' And I bestowed upon you love from Me that you would be brought up under My eye [i.e., observation and care].

Ani iqthifeehi fee attabootifaqthifeehi fee alyammi falyulqihi alyammu bissahiliya/khuthhu AAaduwwun lee waAAaduwwun lahu waalqaytuAAalayka mahabbatan minnee walitusnaAAa AAalaAAaynee

[And We favored you] when your sister went and said, 'Shall I direct you to someone who will be responsible for him?' So We restored you to your mother that she might be content and not grieve. And you killed someone, but We saved you from retaliation and tried you with a [severe] trial. And you remained [some] years among the people of Madyan. Then you came [here] at the decreed time, O Moses.

Ith tamshee okhtuka fataqoolu haladullukum AAala man yakfuluhu farajaAAnaka ilaommika kay taqarra AAaynuha wala tahzanawaqatalta nafsan fanajjaynaka mina alghammi wafatannakafutoonan falabithta sineena fee ahli madyana thumma ji/ta AAalaqadarin ya moosa

And I produced you for Myself.

WastanaAAtuka linafsee

Go, you and your brother, with My signs and do not slacken in My remembrance.

Ithhab anta waakhooka bi-ayateewala taniya fee thikree

Go, both of you, to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.

Ithhaba ila firAAawnainnahu tagha

And speak to him with gentle speech that perhaps he may be reminded or fear [Allāh]."

Faqoola lahu qawlan layyinanlaAAallahu yatathakkaru aw yakhsha

They said, "Our Lord, indeed we are afraid that he will hasten [punishment] against us or that he will transgress."

Qala rabbana innananakhafu an yafruta AAalayna aw an yatgha

[Allāh] said, "Fear not. Indeed, I am with you both; I hear and I see.

Qala la takhafainnanee maAAakuma asmaAAu waara

So go to him and say, 'Indeed, we are messengers of your Lord, so send with us the Children of Israel and do not torment them. We have come to you with a sign from your Lord. And peace will be upon he who follows the guidance.

Fa/tiyahu faqoola innarasoola rabbika faarsil maAAana banee isra-eelawala tuAAaththibhum qad ji/naka bi-ayatinmin rabbika wassalamu AAala mani ittabaAAaalhuda

Indeed, it has been revealed to us that the punishment will be upon whoever denies and turns away.'"

Inna qad oohiya ilaynaanna alAAathaba AAala man kaththaba watawalla

[Pharaoh] said, "So who is the Lord of you two, O Moses?"

Qala faman rabbukuma yamoosa

He said, "Our Lord is He who gave each thing its form and then guided [it]."

Qala rabbuna allatheeaAAta kulla shay-in khalqahu thumma hada

[Pharaoh] said, "Then what is the case of the former generations?"

Qala fama balualqurooni al-oola

[Moses] said, "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a record. My Lord neither errs nor forgets."

Qala AAilmuha AAinda rabbeefee kitabin la yadillu rabbee walayansa

[It is He] who has made for you the earth as a bed [spread out] and inserted therein for you roadways and sent down from the sky, rain and produced thereby categories of various plants.

Allathee jaAAala lakumu al-ardamahdan wasalaka lakum feeha subulan waanzala mina assama-imaan faakhrajna bihi azwajan min nabatinshatta

Eat [therefrom] and pasture your livestock. Indeed in that are signs for those of intelligence.

Kuloo warAAaw anAAamakum innafee thalika laayatin li-olee annuha

From it [i.e., the earth] We created you, and into it We will return you, and from it We will extract you another time.

Minha khalaqnakum wafeehanuAAeedukum waminha nukhrijukum taratan okhra

And We certainly showed him [i.e., Pharaoh] Our signs - all of them - but he denied and refused.

Walaqad araynahu ayatinakullaha fakaththaba waaba

He said, "Have you come to us to drive us out of our land with your magic, O Moses?

Qala aji/tana litukhrijanamin ardina bisihrika ya moosa

Then we will surely bring you magic like it, so make between us and you an appointment, which we will not fail to keep and neither will you, in a place assigned."

Falana/tiyannaka bisihrin mithlihi fajAAalbaynana wabaynaka mawAAidan la nukhlifuhu nahnuwala anta makanan suwa

[Moses] said, "Your appointment is on the day of the festival when the people assemble at mid-morning."

Qala mawAAidukum yawmu azzeenatiwaan yuhshara annasu duha

So Pharaoh went away, put together his plan, and then came [to Moses].

Fatawalla firAAawnu fajamaAAa kaydahuthumma ata

Moses said to them [i.e., the magicians summoned by Pharaoh], "Woe to you! Do not invent a lie against Allāh or He will exterminate you with a punishment; and he has failed who invents [such falsehood]."

Qala lahum moosa waylakum lataftaroo AAala Allahi kathiban fayushitakumbiAAathabin waqad khaba mani iftara

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

FatanazaAAoo amrahum baynahumwaasarroo annajwa

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].

Qaloo in hathani lasahiraniyureedani an yukhrijakum min ardikum bisihrihimawayathhaba bitareeqatikumu almuthla

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

FaajmiAAoo kaydakum thumma i/too saffanwaqad aflaha alyawma mani istaAAla

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

Qaloo ya moosa immaan tulqiya wa-imma an nakoona awwala man alqa

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

Qala bal alqoo fa-itha hibaluhumwaAAisiyyuhum yukhayyalu ilayhi min sihrihim annahatasAAa

And he sensed within himself apprehension, did Moses.

Faawjasa fee nafsihi kheefatan moosa

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

Qulna la takhaf innaka antaal-aAAla

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."

Waalqi ma fee yameenika talqaf masanaAAoo innama sanaAAoo kaydu sahirinwala yuflihu assahiru haythuata

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

Faolqiya assaharatu sujjadanqaloo amanna birabbi haroona wamoosa

[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."

Qala amantum lahu qabla an athanalakum innahu lakabeerukumu allathee AAallamakumu assihrafalaoqattiAAanna aydiyakum waarjulakum min khilafinwalaosallibannakum fee juthooAAi annakhliwalataAAlamunna ayyuna ashaddu AAathaban waabqa

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.

Qaloo lan nu/thiraka AAala majaana mina albayyinati wallatheefatarana faqdi ma anta qadininnama taqdee hathihi alhayataaddunya

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."

Inna amanna birabbinaliyaghfira lana khatayana wamaakrahtana AAalayhi mina assihri wallahukhayrun waabqa

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

Innahu man ya/ti rabbahu mujriman fa-innalahu jahannama la yamootu feeha wala yahya

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

Waman ya/tihi mu/minan qad AAamila assalihatifaola-ika lahumu addarajatu alAAula

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

Jannatu AAadnin tajree min tahtihaal-anharu khalideena feeha wathalikajazao man tazakka

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]."

Walaqad awhayna ilamoosa an asri biAAibadee fadriblahum tareeqan fee albahri yabasan la takhafudarakan wala takhsha

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

FaatbaAAahum firAAawnu bijunoodihifaghashiyahum mina alyammi ma ghashiyahum

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

Waadalla firAAawnu qawmahu wamahada

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,

Ya banee isra-eela qad anjaynakummin AAaduwwikum wawaAAadnakum janiba attoorial-aymana wanazzalna AAalaykumu almanna wassalwa

[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]."

Kuloo min tayyibati marazaqnakum wala tatghaw feehi fayahillaAAalaykum ghadabee waman yahlil AAalayhi ghadabeefaqad hawa

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

Wa-innee laghaffarun liman tabawaamana waAAamila salihan thumma ihtada

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

Wama aAAjalaka AAan qawmika yamoosa

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

Qala hum ola-i AAalaatharee waAAajiltu ilayka rabbi litarda

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

Qala fa-inna qad fatannaqawmaka min baAAdika waadallahumu assamiriy

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?"

FarajaAAa moosa ila qawmihighadbana asifan qala ya qawmi alamyaAAidkum rabbukum waAAdan hasanan afatalaAAalaykumu alAAahdu am aradtum an yahilla AAalaykum ghadabunmin rabbikum faakhlaftum mawAAidee

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."

Qaloo ma akhlafnamawAAidaka bimalkina walakinna hummilnaawzaran min zeenati alqawmi faqathafnahafakathalika alqa assamiriy

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."

Faakhraja lahum AAijlan jasadan lahu khuwarunfaqaloo hatha ilahukum wa-ilahu moosafanasiy

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?

Afala yarawna alla yarjiAAuilayhim qawlan wala yamliku lahum darran walanafAAa

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."

Walaqad qala lahum haroonu minqablu ya qawmi innama futintum bihi wa-innarabbakumu arrahmanu fattabiAAooneewaateeAAoo amree

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

Qaloo lan nabraha AAalayhi AAakifeenahatta yarjiAAa ilayna moosa

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

Qala ya haroonu mamanaAAaka ith raaytahum dalloo

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

Alla tattabiAAani afaAAasaytaamree

[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.'"

Qala yabnaomma la ta/khuthbilihyatee wala bira/see innee khasheetu an taqoolafarraqta bayna banee isra-eela walam tarqub qawlee

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

Qala fama khatbuka yasamiriy

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."

Qala basurtu bima lamyabsuroo bihi faqabadtu qabdatan min athariarrasooli fanabathtuha wakathalikasawwalat lee nafsee

[Moses] said, "Then go. And indeed, it is [decreed] for you in [this] life to say, 'No contact.' 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.

Qala fathhab fa-innalaka fee alhayati an taqoola la misasawa-inna laka mawAAidan lan tukhlafahu wanthurila ilahika allathee thaltaAAalayhi AAakifan lanuharriqannahu thummalanansifannahu fee alyammi nasfa

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

Innama ilahukumu Allahuallathee la ilaha illa huwa wasiAAakulla shay-in AAilma

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].

Kathalika naqussu AAalayka minanba-i ma qad sabaqa waqad ataynakamin ladunna thikra

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

Man aAArada AAanhu fa-innahu yahmiluyawma alqiyamati wizra

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

Khalideena feehi wasaa lahumyawma alqiyamati himla

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

Yawma yunfakhu fee assooriwanahshuru almujrimeena yawma-ithin zurqa

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

Yatakhafatoona baynahum in labithtumilla AAashra

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."

Nahnu aAAlamu bima yaqooloonaith yaqoolu amthaluhum tareeqatan in labithtum illayawma

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

Wayas-aloonaka AAani aljibali faqulyansifuha rabbee nasfa

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

Fayatharuha qaAAan safsafa

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

La tara feeha AAiwajanwala amta

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].

Yawma-ithin yattabiAAoona addaAAiyala AAiwaja lahu wakhashaAAati al-aswatu lirrahmanifala tasmaAAu illa hamsa

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

Yawma-ithin la tanfaAAu ashshafaAAatuilla man athina lahu arrahmanuwaradiya lahu qawla

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.

YaAAlamu ma bayna aydeehim wamakhalfahum wala yuheetoona bihi AAilma

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

WaAAanati alwujoohu lilhayyialqayyoomi waqad khaba man hamala thulma

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

Waman yaAAmal mina assalihatiwahuwa mu/minun fala yakhafu thulmanwala hadma

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.

Wakathalika anzalnahu qur-ananAAarabiyyan wasarrafna feehi mina alwaAAeedilaAAallahum yattaqoona aw yuhdithu lahum thikra

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."

FataAAala Allahualmaliku alhaqqu wala taAAjal bilqur-animin qabli an yuqda ilayka wahyuhu waqul rabbizidnee AAilma

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

Walaqad AAahidna ila adamamin qablu fanasiya walam najid lahu AAazma

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

Wa-ith qulna lilmala-ikatiosjudoo li-adama fasajadoo illa ibleesa aba

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.

Faqulna ya adamu innahatha AAaduwwun laka walizawjika falayukhrijannakuma mina aljannati fatashqa

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

Inna laka alla tajooAAa feehawala taAAra

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

Waannaka la tathmaofeeha wala tadha

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

Fawaswasa ilayhi ashshaytanuqala ya adamu hal adulluka AAalashajarati alkhuldi wamulkin la yabla

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.

Faakala minha fabadat lahumasaw-atuhuma watafiqa yakhsifaniAAalayhima min waraqi aljannati waAAasa adamurabbahu faghawa

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

Thumma ijtabahu rabbuhu fatabaAAalayhi wahada

[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].

Qala ihbita minhajameeAAan baAAdukum libaAAdin AAaduwwun fa-immaya/tiyannakum minnee hudan famani ittabaAAa hudaya falayadillu wala yashqa

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."

Waman aAArada AAan thikreefa-inna lahu maAAeeshatan danka wanahshuruhuyawma alqiyamati aAAma

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

Qala rabbi lima hashartaneeaAAma waqad kuntu baseera

[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."

Qala kathalika atatka ayatunafanaseetaha wakathalika alyawma tunsa

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.

Wakathalika najzee man asrafa walamyu/min bi-ayati rabbihi walaAAathabu al-akhiratiashaddu waabqa

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.

Afalam yahdi lahum kam ahlaknaqablahum mina alqurooni yamshoona fee masakinihim inna feethalika laayatin li-olee annuha

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].

Walawla kalimatun sabaqat minrabbika lakana lizaman waajalun musamma

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.

Fasbir AAala mayaqooloona wasabbih bihamdi rabbika qabla tulooAAiashshamsi waqabla ghuroobiha wamin ana-iallayli fasabbih waatrafa annaharilaAAallaka tarda

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.

Wala tamuddanna AAaynayka ilama mattaAAna bihi azwajan minhum zahrata alhayatiaddunya linaftinahum feehi warizqu rabbika khayrunwaabqa

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.

Wa/mur ahlaka bissalatiwastabir AAalayha la nas-alukarizqan nahnu narzuquka walAAaqibatu littaqwa

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?

Waqaloo lawla ya/teenabi-ayatin min rabbihi awa lam ta/tihim bayyinatu mafee assuhufi al-oola

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?"

Walaw anna ahlaknahum biAAathabinmin qablihi laqaloo rabbana lawla arsaltailayna rasoolan fanattabiAAa ayatika minqabli an nathilla wanakhza

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

Qul kullun mutarabbisun fatarabbasoofasataAAlamoona man as-habu assiratiassawiyyi wamani ihtada
