Moses warned the magicians, “Woe to you! Do not fabricate a lie against Allah, or He will wipe you out with a torment. Whoever fabricates ˹lies˺ is bound to fail.”

Translation

So the magicians disputed the matter among themselves, conversing privately.

Transliteration

Qaalooo in haaazaani lasaahiraani yureedaani ai yukhrijaakum min ardikum bisihrihimaa wa yazhabaa bitareeqatikumul muslaa

Translation

They concluded, “These two are only magicians who want to drive you out of your land with their magic, and do away with your most cherished traditions.

Transliteration

They said, “O Moses! Either you cast, or let us be the first to cast.”

Moses responded, “No, you go first.” And suddenly their ropes and staffs appeared to him—by their magic—to be slithering.

Translation

So Moses concealed fear within himself.

Transliteration

Qulnaa laa takhaf innaka antal a'laa

Transliteration

Wa alqi maa fee yamee nika talqaf maa sana'oo; innamaa sana'oo kaidu saahir; wa laa yuflihus saahiru haisu ataa

Translation

Cast what is in your right hand, and it will swallow up what they have made, for what they have made is no more than a magic trick. And magicians can never succeed wherever they go.”

Transliteration

Fa ulqiyas saharatu sujjadan qaalooo aamannaa bi Rabbi Haaroona wa Moosa

Translation

So the magicians fell down in prostration, declaring, “We believe in the Lord of Aaron and Moses.”

Translation

Pharaoh threatened, “How dare you believe in him before I give you permission? He must be your master who taught you magic. I will certainly cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and crucify you on the trunks of palm trees. You will really see whose punishment is more severe and more lasting.”

Transliteration

Qaaloo lan nu'siraka 'alaa maa jaaa'anaa minal baiyinaati wallazee fataranaa faqdimaaa anta qaad; innamaa taqdee haazihil hayaatad dunyaa

Indeed, we have believed in our Lord so He may forgive our sins and that magic you have forced us to practice. And Allah is far superior ˹in reward˺ and more lasting ˹in punishment˺.”

Transliteration

Innahoo mai ya'ti Rabbahoo mujriman fa inna lahoo Jahannama laa yamootu feehaa wa laa yahyaa

Translation

Whoever comes to their Lord as an evildoer will certainly have Hell, where they can neither live nor die.

Transliteration

Wa mai ya'tihee mu'minan qad 'amilas saalihaati fa ulaaa'ika lahumud darajaatul 'ulaa

Translation

But whoever comes to Him as a believer, having done good, they will have the highest ranks:

Jannaatu 'Adnin tajree min tahtihal anhaaru khaalideena feehaa; wa zaalika jazaaa'u man tazakka (section 3)

Translation

the Gardens of Eternity, under which rivers flow, where they will stay forever. That is the reward of those who purify themselves.

And We surely inspired Moses, ˹saying,˺ “Leave with My servants ˹at night˺ and strike a dry passage for them across the sea. Have no fear of being overtaken, nor be concerned ˹of drowning˺.”

Transliteration

Translation

Then Pharaoh pursued them with his soldiers—but how overwhelming were the waters that submerged them!

Transliteration

Wa adalla fir'awnu qawmahoo wa maa hadaa

Translation

And ˹so˺ Pharaoh led his people astray, and did not guide ˹them rightly˺.

Transliteration

Yaa Baneee Israaa'eela qad anjainaakum min 'aduw wikum wa wa'adnaakum jaanibat Tooril aimana wa nazzalnaa 'alaikumul Manna was Salwaa

Translation

O Children of Israel! We saved you from your enemy, and made an appointment with you

Transliteration

Kuloo min taiyibaati maa razaqnaakum wa laa tatghaw feehi fa yahilla 'alaikum ghadabee wa mai yahlil 'alaihi ghadabee faqad hawaa

Translation

˹saying,˺ “Eat from the good things We have provided for you, but do not transgress in them, or My wrath will befall you. And whoever My wrath befalls is certainly doomed.

Transliteration

Wa innee la Ghaffaarul liman taaba wa aamana wa 'amila saalihan summah tadaa

Translation

But I am truly Most Forgiving to whoever repents, believes, and does good, then persists on ˹true˺ guidance.”

Transliteration

Wa maaa a'jalaka 'an qawmika yaa Moosa

Translation

˹Allah asked,˺ “Why have you come with such haste ahead of your people, O Moses?”

Transliteration

Qaala hum ulaaa'i 'alaaa asaree wa 'ajiltu ilaika Rabbi litardaa

He replied, “They are close on my tracks. And I have hastened to You, my Lord, so You will be pleased.”

Transliteration

Qaala fa innaa qad fatannaa qawmaka mim ba'dika wa adallahumus Saamiriyy

Translation

Allah responded, “We have indeed tested your people in your absence, and the Samiri has led them astray.”

Transliteration

So Moses returned to his people, furious and sorrowful. He said, “O my people! Had your Lord not made you a good promise?

Transliteration

Qaaloo maaa akhlafnaa maw'idaka bimalkinna wa laakinna hummilnaaa awzaaram min zeenatil qawmi faqazafnaahaa fakazaalika alqas Saamiriyy

Translation

They argued, “We did not break our promise to you of our own free will, but we were made to carry the burden of the people’s ˹golden˺ jewellery, then we threw it ˹into the fire˺, and so did the Samiri.”

Transliteration

Fa akhraja lahum 'ijlan jasadal lahoo khuwaarun faqaaloo haazaaa ilaahukum wa ilaahu Moosaa fanasee

Translation

Then he moulded for them an idol of a calf that made a lowing sound. They said, “This is your god and the god of Moses, but Moses forgot ˹where it was˺!”

Transliteration

Moses scolded ˹his brother˺, “O Aaron! What prevented you, when you saw them going astray,

Translation

Moses then asked, “What did you think you were doing, O Samiri?”

Translation

He said, “I saw what they did not see, so I took a handful ˹of dust˺ from the hoof-prints of ˹the horse of˺ the messenger-angel ˹Gabriel˺ then cast it ˹on the moulded calf˺. This is what my lower-self tempted me into.”

Transliteration

Translation

Moses said, “Go away then! And for ˹the rest of your˺ life you will surely be crying, ‘Do not touch ˹me˺!’ that you cannot escape. Now look at your god to which you have been devoted: we will burn it up, then scatter it in the sea completely.”

Transliteration

Innamaaa ilaahu kumul laahul lazee laa ilaaha illaa Hoo; wasi'a kulla shai'in ilmaa
