فَأَوحَينا إِلىٰ موسىٰ أَنِ اضرِب بِعَصاكَ البَحرَ ۖ فَانفَلَقَ فَكانَ كُلُّ فِرقٍ كَالطَّودِ العَظيمِ
We then revealed to Moses, “Strike the sea with your staff.” And it parted, and each side was like a towering mountain.
وَأَزلَفنا ثَمَّ الآخَرينَ
We then drew the others near.
وَأَنجَينا موسىٰ وَمَن مَعَهُ أَجمَعينَ
Thus, We rescued Moses and all those with him.
ثُمَّ أَغرَقنَا الآخَرينَ
Then We drowned the others.
إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَما كانَ أَكثَرُهُم مُؤمِنينَ
There is a lesson in this, but most of them aren’t believers.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ العَزيزُ الرَّحيمُ
Certainly, your Lord is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
وَاتلُ عَلَيهِم نَبَأَ إِبراهيمَ
Relate to them the story of Abraham.
إِذ قالَ لِأَبيهِ وَقَومِهِ ما تَعبُدونَ
When he asked his father and his people, “What do you worship?”
قالوا نَعبُدُ أَصنامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَها عاكِفينَ
They replied, “We worship idols, to which we are fervently devoted.”
قالَ هَل يَسمَعونَكُم إِذ تَدعونَ
He asked, “Can they hear you when you pray to them?
أَو يَنفَعونَكُم أَو يَضُرّونَ
Can they benefit you or harm you?”
