 MARY 19: 58 - 19: 72

86.

58. These are some of the prophets God has blessed,

from the descendants of Adam,

and from those We carried with Noah,

87.

and from the descendants of Abraham and Israel,

and from those We guided and selected.

88.

Whenever the revelations of the Most Gracious were recited to them,

they would fall down, prostrating and weeping.

89.

59. Yet they were succeeded by generations that lost the prayers

and followed their carnal appetites.

90.

They will meet perdition.

91.

60. Except for those who repent, and believe,

and act righteously.

92.

These will enter Paradise, and will not be wronged in the least.

93.

61. The Gardens of Eden, promised by the Most Merciful to His servants in the Unseen.

94.

His promise will certainly come true.

95.

62. They will hear no nonsense therein, yet only peace.

96.

And they will have their provision therein, morning and evening.

97.

63. Thus is Paradise that We will give as inheritance to those of Our servants whom are devout.

98.

64. “We do not descend except by the command of your Lord.

99.

His is what is before us, and what is behind us,

and what is between them.

Your Lord is never forgetful. ”

100.

65. The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them.

101.

So worship Him, and persevere in His service.

102.

Do you know of anyone equal to Him?

103.

66. And the human being says,

“When I am dead, will I be brought back alive? ”

104.

67. Does the human being not remember that We created him before,

when he was nothing?

105.

68. By your Lord, We will round them up, and the devils,

then We will bring them around Hell, on their knees.

106.

69. Then, out of every sect, We will snatch those most defiant to the Most Merciful.

107.

70. We are fully aware of those most deserving to scorch in [Hell].

108.

71. There is not one of you except that will go down to it.

109.

This has been an unavoidable decree of your Lord.

110.

72. Then We will rescue those who were devout,

and leave the wrongdoers in it, on their knees.

Concerning Moses and Adam

(T. H. can be construed as the first letters of the Arabic word for fruit)

TA-HA 20: 1 - 20: 35

1.

1. Ta, Ha.

2. We did not reveal the Quran to you to make you suffer.

3. yet only as a reminder for him who fears.

2.

4. A revelation from He who created the earth and the high heavens.

5. The Most Merciful; on the Throne He settled.

3.

6. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and the earth,

and everything between them, and everything beneath the soil.

4.

7. If you speak aloud—He knows the secret, and the most hidden.

5.

8. God, there is no god except He,

His are the Most Beautiful Names.

6.

9. Has the story of Moses reached you?

7.

10. When he saw a fire, he said to his family, “Stay;

I have noticed a fire;

Perhaps I can bring you a torch therefrom, or find some guidance by the fire. ”

8.

11. Then, when he reached it, he was called, “O Moses.  

12. I—I am your Lord.

9.

Take off your shoes.

for you are in the sacred valley of Tuwa.

10.

13. I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed.

11.

14. I—I am God.

12.

There is no God but I.

13.

So serve Me, and practice the prayer for My remembrance.

14.

15. The Hour is coming—yet I keep it almost hidden—

so that each soul will be paid for what it endeavors.

15.

16. And do not let him who denies it and follows his desire turn you away from it, lest you fall.

16.

17. And what is that in your right-hand, O Moses? ”

17.

18. He said, “This is my staff.

18.

I lean on it, and herd my sheep with it, and I have other uses for it. ”

19.

19. He said, “Throw it, O Moses. ”

20.

20. So he threw it—thereupon it became a moving serpent.

21.

21. He said, “Take hold of it, and do not fear.

22.

We will restore it to its original condition.

23.

22. And press your hand to your side;

it will come out white, without a blemish—another sign.

24.

23. That We may show you some of Our greatest signs.

24. Go to Pharaoh;

He has transgressed. ”

25.

25. He said, “My Lord, put my heart at peace for me.

26. And ease my task for me.

26.

27. And untie the knot from my tongue.

28. So they can understand my speech.

27.

29. And appoint an assistant for me, from my family.

30. Aaron, my brother.

28.

31. Strengthen me with him.

29.

32. And have him share in my mission.

33. That we may glorify You much. 34. And remember You much.

30.

35. You are always watching over us. ”

TA-HA 20: 36 - 20: 48

31.

36. God said, “You are granted your request, O Moses.

32.

37. We had favored you another time.

38. when We inspired your mother with the inspiration.

33.

39. `Put him in the chest; then cast him into the river.

34.

The river will wash him to shore,

where an enemy of Mine and an enemy of his will pick him up.

35.

And I have bestowed upon you love from Me,

so that you may be reared before My eye.

36.

40. When your sister walked along, and said,

‘Shall I tell you about someone who will take care of him? '

37.

So We returned you to your mother, that she may be comforted, and not sorrow.

38.

And you killed a person, yet We saved you from stress;

and We tested you thoroughly.

39.

And you stayed years among the people of Median.

40.

Then you came back, as ordained, O Moses.

41. And I made you for My purposes.

41.

42. Go, you and your brother, with My signs,

and do not neglect My remembrance.

42.

43. Go to Pharaoh.

43.

He has tyrannized.

44.

44. Yet speak to him nicely.

Perhaps he will remember, or have some fear. ”

45.

45. They said, “Lord, we fear he may persecute us, or become violent. ”

46.

46. He said, “Do not fear,

I am with you, I hear and I see.

47.

47. Approach him and say, `We are the messengers of your Lord;

48.

so let the Children of Israel go with us, and do not torment them.

49.

We bring you a sign from your Lord,

and peace be upon him who follows guidance.

50.

48. It was revealed to us that the punishment falls upon him who disbelieves and turns away. '“

TA-HA 20: 49 - 20: 76

51.

49. They went to the Pharaoh, and he said, “Who is your Lord, O Moses. ”

52.

50. He said, “Our Lord is He who gave everything its existence, then guided it. ”

53.

51. He said, “What about the first generations? ”

54.

52. He said, “Knowledge thereof is with my Lord, in a Book.

55.

My Lord never errs, nor does He forget. ”

56.

53. He who made the earth a habitat for you;

and traced in it routes for you;

and sent down water from the sky, that We produce pairs of diverse plants with.

57.

54. Eat and pasture your livestock.

In that are signs for those with understanding.

58.

55. From it We created you, and into it We will return you,

and from it We will bring you out another time.

59.

56. We showed him Our signs, all of them, yet he denied and refused.

60.

57. He said, “Did you come to us to drive us out of our land with your magic, O Moses?

61.

58. We will produce for you magic like it;

62.

so make an appointment between us and you,

that we will not miss—neither us, nor you—in a central place. ”

63.

59. He said, “Your appointment is the day of the festival,

so let the people be gathered together at mid-morning. ”

64.

60. Pharaoh turned away, put together his plan, and then came back.

65.

61. Moses said to them, “Woe to you.

66.

Do not fabricate lies against God, or He will destroy you with a punishment.

67.

He who invents lies will fail. ”

68.

62. They disagreed among themselves over their affair, and conferred secretly.

69.

63. They said, “These two are magicians who want to drive you out of your land with their magic,

and to abolish your exemplary way of life.

70.

64. So settle your plan, and come as one front.

71.

Today, whoever gains the upper hand will succeed. ”

72.

65. They said, “O Moses, either you throw, or we will be the first to throw. ”

73.

66. He said, “You throw. ”

74.

And suddenly, their ropes and sticks appeared to him, because of their magic, to be crawling swiftly.

75.

67. So Moses felt apprehensive within his heart.

76.

68. We said to him, “Do not be afraid, you are the uppermost.

77.

69. Now throw down what is in your right hand—it will swallow what they have crafted.

78.

What they have crafted is only a magician’s trickery.

79.

Yet the magician will not succeed, no matter what he does. ”

80.

[So Moses threw down his staff, and it became a snake

and swallowed the snakes of the staves of Pharaoh's magicians.

81.

70. And the magicians fell down prostrate.

82.

They said, “We have believed in the Lord of Aaron and Moses. ”

83.

71. Pharaoh said, “Did you believe in him before I have given you permission?
