|---|
| 20:1 | | T. H. (Ta. Ha.) |
| 20:2 | | We did not send down the Quran to you to make you unhappy |
| 20:3 | | But as a reminder for anyone who fears (God) |
| 20:4 | | A sending down from Him who created the earth and the high skies |
| 20:5 | | the beneficent, settled on the throne |
| 20:6 | | Everything in the skies and on the earth and whatever between them and whatever under the ground belongs to Him |
| 20:7 | | And whether you speak loudly (or not), He knows the secret and more hidden |
| 20:8 | | God, there is no god except Him. The good names (and attributes) are for Him |
| 20:9 | | And did the story of Moses come to you |
| 20:10 | | When he saw a fire, then he said to his family: wait, indeed I saw a fire, maybe I bring you a burning stick from it or find guidance at the fire |
| 20:11 | | So when he came to it, he was called: Moses |
| 20:12 | | Indeed I am your Master, so take off your shoes, you are in the sacred valley of Tuwa. |
| 20:13 | | and I chose you, so listen to what is revealed (to you) |
| 20:14 | | Indeed I am God, there is no god except Me, so serve Me and perform the mandatory prayer to remember Me |
| 20:15 | | Indeed the hour is coming. I want to keep it hidden, so that every person is rewarded by what he tries |
| 20:16 | | So do not let those who do not believe in it and follow their desires, turn you away from it, otherwise you perish |
| 20:17 | | Moses, what is that in your right hand |
| 20:18 | | He said: it is my cane, I lean on it and I chop off the leaves for my sheep with it, and I have other uses for it |
| 20:19 | | He (God) said: Moses, throw it (down). |
| 20:20 | | So he threw it, and suddenly it turned into a fast moving serpent |
| 20:21 | | He (God) said: take it and do not fear, We are going to return it to its original shape |
| 20:22 | | And put your hand under your arm, it comes out white without any disease, as another miracle |
| 20:23 | | So that We show you some of Our greater miracles |
| 20:24 | | Go to Pharaoh, indeed he rebelled |
| 20:25 | | He said: my Master, expand my chest (and give me patience) |
| 20:26 | | and make my task easy for me |
| 20:27 | | and open the knot from my tongue (and allow me to speak clearly) |
| 20:28 | | so they understand my word |
| 20:29 | | and assign me an assistant from my family |
| 20:30 | | my brother Aaron |
| 20:31 | | to back me up with him |
| 20:32 | | and make him partner in my task |
| 20:33 | | so that we glorify You much |
| 20:34 | | and we remember You much |
| 20:35 | | Indeed You are observant of us |
| 20:36 | | He (God) said: Moses, your request is granted |
| 20:37 | | And We have certainly favored upon you another tim |
| 20:38 | | when We revealed to your mother what was revealed |
| 20:39 | | that throw him in the box, then throw it in the sea/river, then the sea/river should throw it on the shore, and an enemy of Me and an enemy of him takes him. And I threw My affection on you so that you are brought up under My eye (and My observation) |
| 20:40 | | (Remember) when your sister walked (to them) and said: should I show you someone to take care of him? So We returned you to your mother so that her eyes are cooled (and she is cheered up) and she would not be sad. And you killed a person, then We saved you from the sadness and We tested you with tests. Then you stayed with people of Midian (people of Shu'aib) for years, then you came as destined, Moses |
| 20:41 | | And I made you (and chose you) for Myself (to communicate My message to children of Israel and Pharaoh) |
| 20:42 | | You and your brother go with My miracles and do not slack off in remembering Me |
| 20:43 | | Both of you go to Pharaoh, indeed he rebelled |
| 20:44 | | Then say to him in gentle words, so that he may take notice or fear |
| 20:45 | | They said: our Master, we fear that he goes too far against us (and he rushes to punish us) or that he rebels |
| 20:46 | | He (God) said: do not fear, indeed I am with you, I hear and I see |
| 20:47 | | So you two go to him and say: we are messengers of your Master, so send the children of Israel with us and do not punish them, we have brought you a miracle from your Master, and peace (and well-being) on anyone who follows the guidance |
| 20:48 | | Indeed it has been revealed to us that the punishment is on anyone who denies and turns away |
| 20:49 | | He said: Moses, who is your Master |
| 20:50 | | He (Moses) said: our Master is the One who gave everything its creation, then guided (it) |
| 20:51 | | He said: so, what about the previous generations |
| 20:52 | | He (Moses) said: its knowledge is with my Master in a book, my Master does not make mistake and does not forget |
| 20:53 | | The One who made the earth a bed for you (to rest on), and inserted roadways in it for you, and sent down rain from the sky, then We brought out various types of plants with it |
| 20:54 | | Eat (from them) and pasture your livestock. Indeed there are signs in that for people of the intellect |
| 20:55 | | We created you from it (the earth) and We return you into it and We bring you out of it another time |
| 20:56 | | And We have certainly shown him (Pharaoh) Our miracles, each of them, but he denied and refused |
| 20:57 | | He said: Moses, did you come to us to drive us out of our land with your magic |
| 20:58 | | We shall bring you a magic like it, so make an appointment between us, which neither we nor you break it, in a level (and impartial) place |
| 20:59 | | He said: your appointment is day of the festival and if the people gather before noon |
| 20:60 | | So Pharaoh went away and put his plan together, then he came (back) |
| 20:61 | | Moses said to them: woe to you, do not make up a lie (and attribute it) to God, otherwise He destroys you with a punishment, and anyone who made up (lies) has failed |
| 20:62 | | So they argued about their affair among themselves, and they kept their private conversation secret |
| 20:63 | | They said: these are two magicians who want to drive you out of your land with their magic, and do away with your outstanding (religious) way |
| 20:64 | | So get your plan together, then come as a unit, and whoever overcomes today has succeeded |
| 20:65 | | They said: Moses, do you throw or are we to throw first |
| 20:66 | | He said: no, you throw (first). So suddenly their ropes and their canes appeared to him as if they were moving fast because of their magic |
| 20:67 | | Then Moses had a sensation of fear in himself |
| 20:68 | | We said: do not fear, indeed you are superior |
| 20:69 | | and throw down what is in your right hand (your cane), it swallows what they produced. Indeed what they produced is only a magician’s trick, and the magician does not succeed wherever he goes |
| 20:70 | | So the magicians fell prostrating (showing humbleness), and they said: we believed in the Master of Aaron and Moses |
| 20:71 | | He (Pharaoh) said: did you believe in Him/him before I give you permission? Indeed he is your senior, the one who taught you the magic, I shall cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I shall crucify you on the trunks of the palm tree, and you shall know punishment of which one of us is more severe and more lasting |
| 20:72 | | They (the magicians) said: we never prefer you to what came to us from the clear proofs (evidences) and to the One who created us, so decide what you want to decide, for you only decide in this world’s life |
| 20:73 | | Indeed we believed in our Master so that He may forgive us our faults and the magic that you forced us to it, and God is better and more lasting |
| 20:74 | | Indeed anyone who comes to his Master guilty, then indeed hell is for him, and he does not die in it and he does not live |
| 20:75 | | And anyone who comes to Him as a believer who has done good works then they have high rank (and status) |
| 20:76 | | Eternal gardens which rivers flow through them, remaining in there forever, and that is reward of anyone who purifies (and absolves) |
| 20:77 | | And We have certainly revealed to Moses that travel by night with My servants, and make a dry path for them in the sea, and do not be afraid of being overtaken (by Pharaoh) and do not fear (from drowning in the sea) |
| 20:78 | | So Pharaoh followed them with his troops, then the sea covered them with what covered them (and they drowned) |
| 20:79 | | And Pharaoh misguided his people and he did not guide |
| 20:80 | | Children of Israel, We have saved you from your enemy, and We made an appointment with you on the right side of the mountain (Mount Sinai), and We sent down Manna and Salwa (two kind of edible foods) to you |
| 20:81 | | Eat from good things that We provided you and do not rebel in it, otherwise My anger comes downs upon you, and anyone whom My anger comes down upon him, then he has fallen down |
| 20:82 | | And indeed I am very forgiving to anyone who repents and believes and does good works, and then stays rightly guided |
| 20:83 | | and Moses, what made you rush ahead of your people |
| 20:84 | | He said: they are close on my tracks, and I rushed to You to please You my Master |
| 20:85 | | He (God) said: indeed We have tested your people after you, and the Sumeri misguided them |
| 20:86 | | So Moses returned to his people, angry and sorrowful. He said: my people, did not your Master promise you a good promise, was the promise too long for you or did you want the anger of your Master to come down upon you that you broke (your) promise to me |
| 20:87 | | They said: we did not break (our) promise to you on purpose, but we were made to carry a load of ornament from (Pharaoh’s) people, so we threw it (into fire) same as the Sumeri threw |
| 20:88 | | Then he brought out (of the fire) a body of a calf for them which had a sound, so they said: this is your god and god of Moses, but he (Moses) forgot |
| 20:89 | | Do they not see that it does not respond to them a word, and it does not have power of any harm or any benefit for them |
| 20:90 | | And Aaron has certainly said to them previously: my people, you were only being tested with it, and indeed your Master is the beneficent, so follow me and obey my order |
| 20:91 | | They said: we never stop being devoted to it until Moses returns to us |
| 20:92 | | He (Moses) said: Aaron, what kept you back when you saw them losing the (right) path |
| 20:93 | | that you do not to follow me, did you disobey my order |
| 20:94 | | He (Aaron) said: son of my mother, do not grab me by my beard or my head, I was afraid that you say: you made division between children of Israel and you disregarded my word |
| 20:95 | | He (Moses) said: Sumeri, what is the matter with you |
| 20:96 | | He (Sumeri) said: I saw something that they did not see it, so I grabbed a handful from the messenger's trace and threw it, and that is how my soul seduced me |
| 20:97 | | He (Moses) said: so go away, and (punishment) for you in this life is to say do not touch me (to whoever that come close to you), and indeed it is a promise for you that will never be broken, and look at your god, the one that you remained devoted to it, as we shall burn it then we shall totally spread it out into the sea |
| 20:98 | | Your god is only God, the One that there is no god except Him. His knowledge includes everything |
| 20:99 | | That is how We tell you of news of what has passed. And We have given you a reminder (Quran) from Us |
| 20:100 | | Whoever stays away from it, then indeed he carries a burden on the resurrection day |
| 20:101 | | They remain in that (state) forever, and it is a bad load for them on the resurrection day |
| 20:102 | | A day that the trumpet is blown, on that day We gather the guilty ones, having cyanosis (or lead color eyes) |
| 20:103 | | They whisper among themselves: you only stayed (dead) ten days |
| 20:104 | | We know better what they say when the most perceptive among them says: you only stayed (dead) one day |
| 20:105 | | And they ask you about the mountains, say: my Master completely pulverizes them |
| 20:106 | | then He leaves them as a flat plain |
| 20:107 | | you would not see any curve or bumps in it. |
| 20:108 | | On that day, they follow the caller without deviating from him, and the voices lowered for the beneficent and you only hear but a murmur |
| 20:109 | | On that day the mediation does not benefit, except from someone whom the beneficent permitted him and He approves of his saying |
| 20:110 | | He knows what is in front of them and what is behind them , and they do not comprehend His knowledge |
| 20:111 | | And the faces humbled (and lowered) before the eternal living (God), and anyone who carries wrongdoing has failed |
| 20:112 | | And whoever does good works and he is a believer has no fear of injustice or holding back (his reward) |
| 20:113 | | And that is how We sent down an Arabic Quran and We explained about the threats (of punishment) in it, so that they may be cautious, or brings about a reminder for them (and they take notice) |
| 20:114 | | So God, the true king is highest (and above all). And do not rush to read the Quran before its revelation to you is completed, and say: my Master, increase my knowledge |
| 20:115 | | We have certainly instructed Adam in the past, but he forgot, and We did not find any determination in him. |
| 20:116 | | And (remember) when We said to the angels: be humble to Adam. Then they humbled except Iblis (Satan) who refused |
| 20:117 | | Then We said: Adam, indeed this is an enemy for you and for your wife, so do not let him drive both of you out of the garden, so that you become unhappy |
| 20:118 | | Indeed You do not get hungry or naked in there |
| 20:119 | | And indeed you do not get thirsty or suffer from sun’s heat (or sunburn) in there |
| 20:120 | | But Satan seduced him, he said: Adam, should I lead you to the tree of eternity (and immortality) and to a kingdom that does not deteriorate |
| 20:121 | | So they both ate from it, then their shame (their private part) appeared to them, and they began to patch over themselves with leaves of the garden. Adam disobeyed his Master, so he went wrong |
| 20:122 | | Then his Master chose him, and He turned to him (in mercy) and guided him |
| 20:123 | | He said: go down from it altogether, some of you will be enemies of the others, then if guidance from Me comes to you, then anyone who follows My guidance will not lose (the right path) and he will not be unhappy |
| 20:124 | | And whoever stays away from My reminder then indeed he will have a hard life and We gather him as a blind on the resurrection day |
| 20:125 | | He says: my Master, why did you gather me as a blind, while I could see (before) |
| 20:126 | | He (God) says: same way as My signs came to you and you forgot them, and like that I forget you today |
| 20:127 | | And that is how We payback anyone who is excessive and did not believe in his Master’s signs, and certainly the punishment of the hereafter is more severe and more lasting |
| 20:128 | | Was it not a guide for them that how many generations before them We destroyed, which they are walking in their habitat? Indeed there are signs in that for people of the intellect |
| 20:129 | | And if it was not for a word that previously issued from your Master and for a finite time, it ( the punishment) would have been necessary |
| 20:130 | | So be patient about what they say, and glorify your Master with His praise before rising of the sun and before its setting and glorify Him during hours of the night and on both sides of the day, that you may be content (and pleased) |
| 20:131 | | Do not stretch out your eyes to (and be dazzled by) what We made some group among them enjoy, (it is) beauty of this world’s life so that We test them with it, while the provision of your Master is better and more lasting. |
| 20:132 | | And instruct your family to the mandatory prayer and persist on it. We do not ask you for provision, We provide for you, and the (good) ending is for those who control themselves |
| 20:133 | | And they say: why does he not bring us a sign from his Master? Did not clear proof come to them in what is in the previous scriptures |
| 20:134 | | And if We had destroyed them by punishment before it (sending the prophet), they would have certainly said: our Master, why did you not send us a messenger, so we follow Your signs before we are humiliated and disgraced |
| 20:135 | | Say: everyone is waiting, so you wait (too), and you are going to know who are followers of the even (and the right) path and who are guided |
