بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمـٰنِ الرَّحيمِ الر ۚ كِتابٌ أَنزَلناهُ إِلَيكَ لِتُخرِجَ النّاسَ مِنَ الظُّلُماتِ إِلَى النّورِ بِإِذنِ رَبِّهِم إِلىٰ صِراطِ العَزيزِ الحَميدِ
Alif. Lam. Ra. This is a Scripture that We revealed to you, to guide people from darkness into light, by the permission of their Lord, towards the path of the Almighty, the Praiseworthy.
اللَّهِ الَّذي لَهُ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَما فِي الأَرضِ ۗ وَوَيلٌ لِلكافِرينَ مِن عَذابٍ شَديدٍ
God, to whom belongs everything in the heavens and on the earth. Woe unto the unbelievers, for a severe punishment awaits them.
الَّذينَ يَستَحِبّونَ الحَياةَ الدُّنيا عَلَى الآخِرَةِ وَيَصُدّونَ عَن سَبيلِ اللَّهِ وَيَبغونَها عِوَجًا ۚ أُولـٰئِكَ في ضَلالٍ بَعيدٍ
Those who prefer the worldly life over the Hereafter, who deter others from God’s path, and seek to bend it. These are far astray.
وَما أَرسَلنا مِن رَسولٍ إِلّا بِلِسانِ قَومِهِ لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُم ۖ فَيُضِلُّ اللَّهُ مَن يَشاءُ وَيَهدي مَن يَشاءُ ۚ وَهُوَ العَزيزُ الحَكيمُ
We sent every messenger in the language of his people, to clarify things for them. God leaves astray whom He wills, and He guides whom He wills. He is the All-Wise, the All-Powerful.
وَلَقَد أَرسَلنا موسىٰ بِآياتِنا أَن أَخرِج قَومَكَ مِنَ الظُّلُماتِ إِلَى النّورِ وَذَكِّرهُم بِأَيّامِ اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآياتٍ لِكُلِّ صَبّارٍ شَكورٍ
We sent Moses with Our signs: “Lead your people from darkness into light, and remind them of God’s days.” In this are signs for every patient, thankful person.
وَإِذ قالَ موسىٰ لِقَومِهِ اذكُروا نِعمَةَ اللَّهِ عَلَيكُم إِذ أَنجاكُم مِن آلِ فِرعَونَ يَسومونَكُم سوءَ العَذابِ وَيُذَبِّحونَ أَبناءَكُم وَيَستَحيونَ نِساءَكُم ۚ وَفي ذٰلِكُم بَلاءٌ مِن رَبِّكُم عَظيمٌ
Moses told his people, “Remember God’s favor upon you, when He saved you from Pharaoh’s people, who imposed terrible suffering upon you, slaughtering your sons and sparing your daughters. That was a grave test from your Lord.”
وَإِذ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُم لَئِن شَكَرتُم لَأَزيدَنَّكُم ۖ وَلَئِن كَفَرتُم إِنَّ عَذابي لَشَديدٌ
Your Lord declared, “If you are grateful, I will surely increase you; but if you are ungrateful, then My punishment is severe.”
وَقالَ موسىٰ إِن تَكفُروا أَنتُم وَمَن فِي الأَرضِ جَميعًا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَغَنِيٌّ حَميدٌ
Moses said, ”Even if you, along with everyone on earth, are ungrateful, God is still Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.”
أَلَم يَأتِكُم نَبَأُ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِكُم قَومِ نوحٍ وَعادٍ وَثَمودَ ۛ وَالَّذينَ مِن بَعدِهِم ۛ لا يَعلَمُهُم إِلَّا اللَّهُ ۚ جاءَتهُم رُسُلُهُم بِالبَيِّناتِ فَرَدّوا أَيدِيَهُم في أَفواهِهِم وَقالوا إِنّا كَفَرنا بِما أُرسِلتُم بِهِ وَإِنّا لَفي شَكٍّ مِمّا تَدعونَنا إِلَيهِ مُريبٍ
Didn’t the stories of those before you reach you—the people of Noah, Aad, Thamud, and those after them? None knows them except God. Their messengers came to them with clear signs, but they tried to muzzle them, saying, “We disbelieve in what you’ve been sent with, and we are in serious doubt about what you invite us to.”
