Sulaiman saw the throne set before him said, 'this is of the grace of my Lord that He may try me whether I am

ALLAH in the name of The Most Affectionate, the Merciful.
1. Ta-Sin-Mim.
2. These are the verses of the luminous Book.
3. We recite to you the true news of Musa and Firawn (Pharaoh), for those who believe.
4. Undoubtedly, Firawn had got control in the earth and made its people his subordinates, he sought to weaken a
group of them, slay their sons and let their women live. Undoubtedly, he was mischief-maker.
5. And We desired that We should be gracious to those weakened, make them leaders, and should make them
the inheritors of their country and wealth.

par, from them.

fear not and nor grieve; undoubtedly, We shall return him to you and shall make him Messenger.

Undoubtedly, Firawn and Haman and their armies were wrongdoers.
9. And the wife of Firawn, said, 'this child is the comfort to me and you, slay him not perhaps he may profit us or
we may take him for a son,' and they were unaware.

disclosed his condition, if We had not solaced her heart, that she might remain believing on Our promise.
11. And his mother said to his sister, 'follow him', then she remained observing from a far, and they were not
aware.

there two men fighting, one was of Musa's party, and the other of his enemies Then the one that was of his
party sought his help against him who was of his enemies. Therefore Musa gave a blow to him and put an end
of him; he said, This is of the work of the evil (Satan)', undoubtedly, he is an enemy, a clear miss-leader.
16. He submitted, 'O my Lord', 'I have exceeded the limit against my soul, therefore forgive me, then the Lord
forgave him. Undoubtedly, He it is the Forgiving, Merciful.
17. He submitted, 'O my Lord as you have blessed me, therefore now I shall never be a helper to the culprits.
18. Then he passed the night in the city fearing and waiting anxiously what happens, when he saw that he who
had sought help the day before is crying for help. Musa said to him, undoubtedly, you are manifestly a
misguided man'.
19. Then when Musa wished to lay hold of him who is an enemy to both, he said, 'O Musa', do you intend to kill
me as you did kill a person yesterday'? You only intend to become violent in the land and intend not to reform.

counseling together to kill you, therefore get away; I am your well wisher'.

me from the oppressors'.
22. And when he diverted his attention towards Madian, he said, 'it is near that my Lord may tell me the straight
path'.
23. And when he came at the water of Madian, there he saw parties of the people are watering their animals, and
at the other side of them, he saw two women that they are holding back their animals; Musa said, 'what is the
condition of you two'? They said, 'we do not water until all shepherds take away their animals after watering,
and our father is very old.'

am in need of that food which You may send down for me.'
25. Then one of the two came to him walking bashfully and said, 'my father invites you that he may give you wage
for that you have watered our animals'. When Musa came to him and related to him the story, he said, 'fear
not; you have been rescued from the oppressors'

and trustworthy'.

may serve me for eight years, but if you complete full ten years, then it will be from your side, and I do not
desire to put you in hardship. It is near if Allah wills you would find me of the righteous.
28. Musa said, 'this has been agreed between you and me. Whichever of the two terms, I fulfil, then there is no
demand against me. And Allah is responsible over what we say'.
29. When Musa fulfilled his term and departed with his wife, he observed a fire from the side of the Tur (Mountain)
He said to his household, 'stay you here, I have observed a fire from the side of Tur, perhaps I may bring you
some news from there, or I may bring to you any brand from the fire that you may warm yourself.

'O Musa, I am, I am Allah, the Lord of the entire world'.
31. And cast down your staff. Then when Musa saw it wriggling as it were a serpent, he set out turning his back
and did not look behind. 'O Musa', come before and fear not, undoubtedly, you are secure.
32. Put your hand in your bosom, it will come out white shining without defect, and put your hand on your chest
for removing the fear. So these are the two arguments of your Lord toward Firawn and his chiefs. Undoubtedly,
they are dis-obedient people.
33. He said, 'I have killed a person from among them, I therefore, fear that they may kill me'.
34. And my brother Haroon, he is more eloquent is speech than me, therefore appoint him a Messenger for my
help that he may confirm me, I fear that they will belie me.

then they could not harm you on account of Our signs. You both and those: who will follow shall triumph'.
36. Then when Musa brought to them Our bright signs, they said, 'this is nothing, but magic fabricated, and we did
not hear the like among our earlier fathers'.
37. And Musa said, 'my Lord knows well him who brought guidance from Him and for whom will be the home of
the Hereafter. Undoubtedly, the unjust reach not to the goal.

Al-Quran English Translation (Kanz-ul-Eeman)
(bricks) build for me a high palace that perhaps I may ascend and peep into the god of Musa, and
undoubtedly, I imagine that indeed he is a liar'.
39. And he and his army wished unjust greatness in the land and thought that they are not to return towards Us.
40. Therefore We seized him and his army and cast them into the river. See them, how became the end of the
oppressors.
41. And We made them leaders of the people of Hell that they call towards the Fire; and they shall not be helped
on the Day of Resurrection.
42. And We set curse to follow them in this world; and on the Day of resurrection, theirs is the ugly condition.
43. And undoubtedly, We gave a Book to Musa after We had destroyed earlier generation, in which there are
evident arguments for the people and guidance and mercy so that they may accept admonition.
44. And you were not on the western side of Tur, when We sent the command of Prophethood to Musa and nor
you were present at that time.
45. But it so happened that We produced generations and a very long period passed over them, and neither you
were a deweller among the people of Madian, reciting Our signs to them, yes We became the Sender of
Messengers.
46. And nor you were at the side of Tur, when We called, yes it is the mercy from your Lord (He gave you the
knowledge of the Unseen) that you may warn a people to whom no warner came before you, haply they may
be admonished.
47. And had it not so happened if any calamity would have touched them for what their hands have sent before,
they would say, 'O our Lord, why did you not send any Messenger towards us that we might have followed
your signs and might have believed.
48. Then when the truth came to them from Us, they said, 'why they were not given the like of what was given to
Musa'? Had they not rejected what was given to Musa before They said, 'two magics supporting each other"
and they said, "we are rejecters of all the two".
49. Say you, 'bring them any Book from Allah which is a better guide than these two, I shall follow it, if you are
truthful'.
50. Then if they accent not your saying, know you that they only follow their own desires. And who is more astray
than one who follows his own desires separate from the guidance of Allah. Undoubtedly Allah guides not the
unjust people.
51. And undoubtedly, We have sent for them the word in continuation that they may give heed.
52. Those to whom We gave the Book before it, they believe in it.
53. And when these signs are recited to them they say, 'We believed in it, undoubtedly, it is the only truth from our
Lord, We had already submitted even before.

spend something out of what We have provided them.
55. And when they hear vein talk, they turn away from it and say, 'for us our works, and for you your works. Peace
be to you; we seek not the ignorant'.
56. Undoubtedly, this is not that you may guide whomsoever you like on your own accord, yes, Allah guides
whomsoever He will. And He knows well who are the guided.
57. And they say, 'if we follow guidance with you we shall be taken away from our land by the people'. Have We
not provided them a place in the safe sanctuary towards which all kinds of fruits are brought, a provision from
Us? But most of them know not.
58. And how many a city have We destroyed that behaved boastfully on their luxurious life. Then these are their
homes, which were not inhabited after them but a little. And only We are inheritors.
59. And your Lord destroys not the cities until He sends in their real resort a Messenger who may recite Our signs
to them; and We destroy not the cities but when their inhabitants are oppressors.
60. And whatever thing you have been given, is the provision of this worldly life and its adornment, and whatever
is with Allah is better and more enduring. Have you then no sense?
61. Is then he whom We promised a goodly promise with which he will meet like him whom We allowed to enjoy
the provision of this worldly life, then on the Day of Resurrection he will be presented arrested?
62. And the Day when He will say, 'where are My those partners whom you so imagined'?
63. Those against whom the word has been proved will say, 'O our, Lord', these are they whom we led astray, we
led them astray as we were astrayed ourselves; we return to You being disgusted with them. They worshipped
us not'.
64. And it shall be said to them, 'call your partners, therefore they will call, but they shall not hear them and they
shall see the torment What a good thing would have been if they had got the way'?
65. And the Day when He will call upon them, He will say, 'what answer did you give to Our Messengers?
Al-Quran English Translation (Kanz-ul-Eeman)

besides Allah who would bring you light. Do you then not hear?

besides Allah who would bring you a night wherein you might rest'. Do you not then see?

77. And seek by means of that treasure which Allah has bestowed to you, the home of the Hereafter, and forget
not your share in the world and do good as Allah has done good to you and seek not mischief in the land.
Undoubtedly Allah loves not the mischief-makers.
78. He said, 'this indeed has been given to me because of a knowledge, which is with me. And does he not know
