Ayat 1 - TA SIN MIM.

Ayat 2 - These are the verses of the perspicuous Book.

Ayat 3 - You may perhaps wear out your heart because they do not come to belief.

Ayat 4 - We could send down from the heavens a sign to them if We pleased, before which their heads would remain bowed.

Ayat 5 - Never does a new reminder come to them from Ar-Rahman but they turn away from it.

Ayat 6 - Surely they have done with denying; soon will come to them the news of what they were laughing at.

Ayat 7 - Do they not see the earth, how We grow all kinds of noble things upon it?

Ayat 8 - Verily there are signs in this; yet many of them do not believe.

Ayat 9 - Your Lord is surely mighty and merciful.

Ayat 10 - When your Lord called upon Moses: "Go to the wicked people,

Ayat 11 - The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear and take heed?"

Ayat 12 - : He said: "O Lord, I fear that they will deny me.

Ayat 13 - My heart is constrained, my tongue falters, so delegate Aaron;

Ayat 14 - And they have a charge (of murder) against me. So I fear that they will kill me."

Ayat 15 - (It was) said: "By no means. Go with My signs, both of you. I am verily with you and I hear.

Ayat 16 - Go to the Pharaoh and tell him: ´We bring a message from the Lord of all the worlds

Ayat 17 - That you should send the children of Israel with us.´

Ayat 18 - (The Pharaoh) said: "Did we not bring you up as a child? And you lived a number of years of your life with us.

Ayat 19 - And you commited what you did, and you are ungrateful!"

Ayat 20 - (Moses) replied: "I did do that and I was in the wrong,

Ayat 21 - So I ran away from you out of fear. But my Lord has given me wisdom, and made me an apostle.

Ayat 22 - But the favour you oblige me with is that you have enslaved the children of Israel."

Ayat 23 - The Pharaoh asked: "And what is the Lord of all the worlds?"

Ayat 24 - (Moses) said: "The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, if you can believe."

Ayat 25 - (The Pharaoh) said to those around him: "Do you hear?"

Ayat 26 - (Moses continued): "Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers before you."

Ayat 27 - (The Pharaoh) said (to his nobles): "Your apostle who has been sent to you, is certainly mad."

Ayat 28 - (Moses) said: "The Lord of the East and the Lord of the West and all that lies between them, if you have sense."

Ayat 29 - (The Pharaoh) said: "If you took another god apart from me I will have you incarcerated."

Ayat 30 - (Moses) said: "Even though I have brought to you something convincing?"

Ayat 31 - (The Pharaoh) said: "Then bring it, if you speak the truth."

Ayat 32 - So (Moses) cast his staff, and lo, it turned into a living serpent.

Ayat 33 - And he drew forth his hand, and lo, it looked white to the beholders.

Ayat 34 - The Pharaoh said to the chiefs around him: "He is certainly a clever magician.

Ayat 35 - He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic. So, what do you bid?"

Ayat 36 - They said: "Put him and his brother off awhile, and send summoners to the cities to gather

Ayat 37 - And bring the ablest magicians to you."

Ayat 38 - So the magicians were assembled at a stated time and place on an appointed day.

Ayat 39 - And the people were also asked to assemble.

Ayat 40 - (They said): "We may haply follow the magicians if they are victorious."

Ayat 41 - When the magicians arrived, they said to the Pharaoh: "Is there a reward for us if we are victorious?" --

Ayat 42 - "Yes," he replied. "You ´will be among the honoured."

Ayat 43 - Moses said to them: "Cast what you have to cast."

Ayat 44 - So they cast their ropes and rods, and said: "By the glory of Pharaoh, we shall be victorious."

Ayat 45 - Then Moses threw down his staff, and lo, it swallowed up their conjurations.

Ayat 46 - Then the magicians fell prostrating in adoration,

Ayat 47 - And said: "We (affirm and) believe in the Lord of all the worlds,

Ayat 48 - The Lord of Moses and Aaron."

Ayat 49 - Said (the Pharaoh): "You have come to believe in him before I gave you leave. He is surely your chief, who taught you magic. You will soon come to know: I will have your hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, and have every one of you crucified."

Ayat 50 - They said: "There will be no harm. We shall return to our Lord.

Ayat 51 - We certainly hope our Lord will forgive our sins as we are the first to believe."

Ayat 52 - We said to Moses: "Travel by night with My creatures. You will surely be pursued."

Ayat 53 - Then the Pharaoh sent announcers to the cities,

Ayat 54 - (Proclaiming): "Surely they are a small band (of fugitives).

Ayat 55 - They are always harassing us.

Ayat 56 - But we are a fully accounted army."

Ayat 57 - So We made them leave the gardens and springs of water,

Ayat 58 - And treasures and agreeable mansions.

Ayat 59 - Thus it was; and We made the children of Israel possess them.

Ayat 60 - But they pursued them at sunrise.

Ayat 61 - When the two forces drew within seeing distance of each other, the people of Moses said: "We shall certainly be overtaken."

Ayat 62 - Moses replied: "By no means. My Lord is with me. He will show me the way."

Ayat 63 - We commanded Moses: "Smite the sea with your staff." And it parted, and every parting was like a lofty mountain.

Ayat 64 - Then We brought the others to that place.

Ayat 65 - We delivered Moses and every one with him,

Ayat 66 - And We drowned the others.

Ayat 67 - Verily there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.

Ayat 69 - Relate the news of Abraham to them.

Ayat 70 - When he asked his father and his people: "What do you worship?"

Ayat 71 - They replied: "We worship idols and are devoted to them."

Ayat 72 - (Abraham) asked: "Do they hear when you call them?

Ayat 73 - Or do they benefit you, or do you harm?"

Ayat 74 - They said: "No. But we found our fathers doing so."

Ayat 75 - He said: "Have you considered what you have been worshipping,

Ayat 76 - You and your fathers?

Ayat 77 - Yet they are my enemies except the Lord of all the worlds

Ayat 78 - Who created me and showed me the way,

Ayat 79 - Who gives me food and drink,

Ayat 80 - And heals me when I am sick,

Ayat 81 - Who will make me die, then give me life again,

Ayat 82 - And who, I hope, will condone my faults on the Day of Judgement.

Ayat 83 - O Lord, give me wisdom and admit me among the righteous,

Ayat 84 - And uphold my name with posterity,

Ayat 85 - And put me among the inheritors of Paradise.

Ayat 86 - Forgive me and my father: He was surely among those who went astray.

Ayat 87 - And do not disgrace me on the day when they are raised from the graves,

Ayat 88 - The day when neither wealth nor children will be of any avail

Ayat 89 - But to him who comes to God with a tranquil heart."

Ayat 90 - Paradise will be brought near those who take heed for themselves and follow the straight path;

Ayat 91 - And Hell made visible to those who had gone astray.

Ayat 92 - They will be asked: "Where are those you worshipped

Ayat 93 - Other than God? Can they save you or even save themselves?"

Ayat 94 - They will then be thrown into Hell with those who had gone astray

Ayat 95 - Together with the hordes of Iblis.

Ayat 96 - Disputing among themselves they will say:

Ayat 97 - "By God, we were plainly in error

Ayat 98 - In equating you with the Lord of all the worlds;

Ayat 99 - No one but the sinners led us astray.

Ayat 100 - Now we have none to intercede for us,

Ayat 101 - Nor any sincere friend.

Ayat 108 - So be fearful of God and listen to me.

Ayat 109 - I ask no recompense of you for it. My reward is due from none but the Lord of all the worlds.

Ayat 110 - So fear God and follow me."

Ayat 111 - They said: "Should we place our trust in you when only the condemned follow you?"

Ayat 112 - He said: "It is not for me to know what they were doing.

Ayat 113 - It is for my Lord to bring them to book, if you can understand.

Ayat 114 - I am certainly not one to drive away the believers.

Ayat 115 - I am only a plain admonisher."

Ayat 116 - They said: "If you do not desist, O Noah, you will be stoned to death."

Ayat 195 - In eloquent Arabic.

Ayat 196 - This is (indicated) in the Books of earlier people.

Ayat 213 - So call on no other god but God, lest you are condemned to torment;

Ayat 214 - And warn your near relations,

Ayat 215 - And take those believers under your wing who follow you.

Ayat 224 - As for the poets, only those who go astray follow them.

Ayat 225 - Have you not seen that they wander distract in every valley,

Ayat 226 - And they say what they do not do,

Ayat 227 - Except those who believe and do the right, and remember God a great deal, who retaliate only when they have been wronged. Yet the oppressors will now come to know through what reversals they will be overthrown!
