إِنَّ الَّذينَ لا يُؤمِنونَ بِالآخِرَةِ زَيَّنّا لَهُم أَعمالَهُم فَهُم يَعمَهونَ
For those who don’t believe in the Hereafter, We make their deeds appear attractive to them, so they wander aimlessly.
أُولـٰئِكَ الَّذينَ لَهُم سوءُ العَذابِ وَهُم فِي الآخِرَةِ هُمُ الأَخسَرونَ
These will suffer the worst punishment, and in the Hereafter, they will be the most significant losers.
وَإِنَّكَ لَتُلَقَّى القُرآنَ مِن لَدُن حَكيمٍ عَليمٍ
You are receiving the Quran from the One who is All-Wise, All-Knowing.
إِذ قالَ موسىٰ لِأَهلِهِ إِنّي آنَستُ نارًا سَآتيكُم مِنها بِخَبَرٍ أَو آتيكُم بِشِهابٍ قَبَسٍ لَعَلَّكُم تَصطَلونَ
When Moses said to his family, “I noticed a fire. I will bring you news from it, or a burning torch to warm yourselves.”
فَلَمّا جاءَها نودِيَ أَن بورِكَ مَن فِي النّارِ وَمَن حَولَها وَسُبحانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ العالَمينَ
As he approached it, he was called, “Blessed is whoever is at the fire and whoever is around it, and glory be to God, the Lord of the worlds.
يا موسىٰ إِنَّهُ أَنَا اللَّهُ العَزيزُ الحَكيمُ
O Moses, it is I, God, the Almighty, the All-Wise.
وَأَلقِ عَصاكَ ۚ فَلَمّا رَآها تَهتَزُّ كَأَنَّها جانٌّ وَلّىٰ مُدبِرًا وَلَم يُعَقِّب ۚ يا موسىٰ لا تَخَف إِنّي لا يَخافُ لَدَيَّ المُرسَلونَ
Lay down your staff.” As he saw it moving like a serpent, he turned to flee. “O Moses, fear not; the messengers don’t fear in My presence.
إِلّا مَن ظَلَمَ ثُمَّ بَدَّلَ حُسنًا بَعدَ سوءٍ فَإِنّي غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ
However, anyone who does wrong and then replaces it with good—I am Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
وَأَدخِل يَدَكَ في جَيبِكَ تَخرُج بَيضاءَ مِن غَيرِ سوءٍ ۖ في تِسعِ آياتٍ إِلىٰ فِرعَونَ وَقَومِهِ ۚ إِنَّهُم كانوا قَومًا فاسِقينَ
Now, insert your hand into your cloak; it will come out white and flawless. These are among nine signs for Pharaoh and his people. They are sinful people.”
فَلَمّا جاءَتهُم آياتُنا مُبصِرَةً قالوا هـٰذا سِحرٌ مُبينٌ
When Our signs were presented to them, they said, “This is nothing but obvious magic.”
وَجَحَدوا بِها وَاستَيقَنَتها أَنفُسُهُم ظُلمًا وَعُلُوًّا ۚ فَانظُر كَيفَ كانَ عاقِبَةُ المُفسِدينَ
They denied them unjustly and arrogantly, despite their inner selves being convinced of them. Observe, then, the end of the corruptors.
