أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
Pickthall
(Saying): Let the Children of Israel go with us.

Pickthall
Then I fled from you when I feared you, and my Lord vouchsafed me a command and appointed me (of the number) of those sent (by Him).
-
وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
Pickthall

Pickthall
(Pharaoh) said: Produce it then, if thou art of the truthful!
-
فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِينٌ

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ
Pickthall
And he drew forth his hand and lo! it was white to the beholders.

قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌ
Pickthall
(Pharaoh) said unto the chiefs about him: Lo! this is verily a knowing wizard,

يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ
Pickthall
Who would drive you out of your land by his magic. Now what counsel ye?

-
يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍ
Pickthall
Who shall bring unto thee every knowing wizard.
-
فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
Pickthall
So the wizards were gathered together at a set time on a day appointed.
-
وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ
Pickthall
And it was said unto the people: Are ye (also) gathering?
-
لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ
Pickthall
(They said): Aye, so that we may follow the wizards if they are the winners.
-
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ
Pickthall
And when the wizards came they said unto Pharaoh: Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners?

Pickthall
Moses said unto them: Throw what ye are going to throw!

فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ
Pickthall
Then they threw down their cords and their staves and said: By Pharaoh's might, lo! we verily are the winners.
-
فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ
Pickthall

-
فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَٰجِدِينَ
Pickthall
And the wizards were flung prostrate,
-
قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Pickthall
Crying: We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,
-
رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ
Pickthall
The Lord of Moses and Aaron.
-
قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَٰفٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
Pickthall
(Pharaoh) said: Ye put your faith in him before I give you leave. Lo! he doubtless is your chief who taught you magic! But verily ye shall come to know. Verily I will cut off your hands and your feet alternately, and verily I will crucify you every one.
-
قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ
Pickthall
They said: It is no hurt, for lo! unto our Lord we shall return.

إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Pickthall
Lo! we ardently hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we are the first of the believers.

وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ
Pickthall
And We inspired Moses, saying: Take away My slaves by night, for ye will be pursued.
-
فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ
Pickthall
Then Pharaoh sent into the cities summoners,
-
إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ
Pickthall
(Who said): Lo! these indeed are but a little troop,
-
وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ
Pickthall
And lo! they are offenders against us.
-
وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ
Pickthall
And lo! we are a ready host.
-
فَأَخْرَجْنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
Pickthall
Thus did We take them away from gardens and watersprings,
-
وَكُنُوزٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ
Pickthall
And treasures and a fair estate.
-
كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
Pickthall
Thus (were those things taken from them) and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them.
-
فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ
Pickthall
And they overtook them at sunrise.
-
فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ
Pickthall
And when the two hosts saw each other, those with Moses said: Lo! we are indeed caught.
-
قَالَ كَلَّآ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ
Pickthall
He said: Nay, verily! for lo! my Lord is with me. He will guide me.
-
فَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْبَحْرَ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍ كَٱلطَّوْدِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
Pickthall
Then We inspired Moses, saying: Smite the sea with thy staff. And it parted, and each part was as a mountain vast.
-
وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ
Pickthall
Then brought We near the others to that place.
-
وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ
Pickthall
And We saved Moses and those with him, every one;
-
ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ
Pickthall
And We drowned the others.
-
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Pickthall
Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers.
-
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Pickthall
And lo, thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.
-
وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ
Pickthall
Recite unto them the story of Abraham:
-
إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ
Pickthall
When he said unto his father and his folk: What worship ye?
-
قَالُوا۟ نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَٰكِفِينَ
Pickthall
They said: We worship idols, and are ever devoted unto them.

قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ
Pickthall
He said: Do they hear you when ye cry?
-
أَوْ يَنفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ
Pickthall
Or do they benefit or harm you?
-
قَالُوا۟ بَلْ وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ
Pickthall
They said: Nay, but we found our fathers acting on this wise.
-
قَالَ أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ
Pickthall
He said: See now that which ye worship,
-
أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلْأَقْدَمُونَ
Pickthall
Ye and your forefathers!
-
فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّ لِّىٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

Who created me, and He doth guide me,
-
وَٱلَّذِى هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِى وَيَسْقِينِ
Pickthall
And Who feedeth me and watereth me.
-
وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ
Pickthall
And when I sicken, then He healeth me,
-
وَٱلَّذِى يُمِيتُنِى ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ
Pickthall
And Who causeth me to die, then giveth me life (again),

وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لِى خَطِيٓـَٔتِى يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ
Pickthall

وَٱغْفِرْ لِأَبِىٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ
Pickthall
And forgive my father. Lo! he is of those who err.
-
وَلَا تُخْزِنِى يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ
Pickthall
And abase me not on the day when they are raised,
-
يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌ وَلَا بَنُونَ
Pickthall
The day when wealth and sons avail not (any man)
-
إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ
Pickthall
Save him who bringeth unto Allah a whole heart.
-
وَأُزْلِفَتِ ٱلْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ
Pickthall
And the Garden will be brought nigh for those who ward off (evil).
-
وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَ
Pickthall
And hell will appear plainly to the erring.
-
وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ
Pickthall
And it will be said unto them: Where is (all) that ye used to worship
-
مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلْ يَنصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنتَصِرُونَ
Pickthall
Instead of Allah? Can they help you or help themselves?
-
فَكُبْكِبُوا۟ فِيهَا هُمْ وَٱلْغَاوُۥنَ
Pickthall
Then will they be hurled therein, they and the seducers

وَجُنُودُ إِبْلِيسَ أَجْمَعُونَ
Pickthall
And the hosts of Iblis, together.
-
قَالُوا۟ وَهُمْ فِيهَا يَخْتَصِمُونَ

And they will say, when they are quarrelling therein:
-
تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِى ضَلَٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ
Pickthall
By Allah, of a truth we were in error manifest

إِذْ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Pickthall
When we made you equal with the Lord of the Worlds.

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Pickthall
And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds.
-
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
Pickthall
So keep your duty to Allah, and obey me.
-
قَالُوٓا۟ أَنُؤْمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلْأَرْذَلُونَ
Pickthall
They said: Shall we put faith in thee, when the lowest (of the people) follow thee?
-
قَالَ وَمَا عِلْمِى بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ
Pickthall
He said: And what knowledge have I of what they may have been doing (in the past)?

Pickthall
Therefor judge Thou between us, a (conclusive) judgment, and save me and those believers who are with me.
