This is a portion of the entire surah. View more context, or the entire surah.
Sahih International
We would have invented against Allah a lie if we returned to your religion after Allah had saved us from it. And it is not for us to return to it except that Allah , our Lord, should will. Our Lord has encompassed all things in knowledge. Upon Allah we have relied. Our Lord, decide between us and our people in truth, and You are the best of those who give decision."
Sahih International
Said the eminent ones who disbelieved among his people, "If you should follow Shu'ayb, indeed, you would then be losers."
Sahih International
So the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone.
Sahih International
Those who denied Shu'ayb - it was as though they had never resided there. Those who denied Shu'ayb - it was they who were the losers.
Sahih International
And he turned away from them and said, "O my people, I had certainly conveyed to you the messages of my Lord and advised you, so how could I grieve for a disbelieving people?"
Sahih International
And We sent to no city a prophet [who was denied] except that We seized its people with poverty and hardship that they might humble themselves [to Allah ].
Sahih International
Then We exchanged in place of the bad [condition], good, until they increased [and prospered] and said, "Our fathers [also] were touched with hardship and ease." So We seized them suddenly while they did not perceive.
Sahih International
And if only the people of the cities had believed and feared Allah , We would have opened upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth; but they denied [the messengers], so We seized them for what they were earning."
Sahih International
Then, did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them at night while they were asleep?
Sahih International
Or did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them in the morning while they were at play?
Sahih International
Then did they feel secure from the plan of Allah ? But no one feels secure from the plan of Allah except the losing people.
Sahih International
Has it not become clear to those who inherited the earth after its [previous] people that if We willed, We could afflict them for their sins? But We seal over their hearts so they do not hear.
Sahih International
Those cities - We relate to you, [O Muhammad], some of their news. And certainly did their messengers come to them with clear proofs, but they were not to believe in that which they had denied before. Thus does Allah seal over the hearts of the disbelievers.
Sahih International
And We did not find for most of them any covenant; but indeed, We found most of them defiantly disobedient.
Sahih International
Then We sent after them Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his establishment, but they were unjust toward them. So see how was the end of the corrupters.
Sahih International
And Moses said, "O Pharaoh, I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds
Sahih International
[Who is] obligated not to say about Allah except the truth. I have come to you with clear evidence from your Lord, so send with me the Children of Israel."
Sahih International
[Pharaoh] said, "If you have come with a sign, then bring it forth, if you should be of the truthful."
Sahih International
And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white [with radiance] for the observers.
Sahih International
Said the eminent among the people of Pharaoh, "Indeed, this is a learned magician
Sahih International
Who wants to expel you from your land [through magic], so what do you instruct?"
Sahih International
They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers
Sahih International
And the magicians came to Pharaoh. They said, "Indeed for us is a reward if we are the predominant."
Sahih International
He said, "Yes, and, [moreover], you will be among those made near [to me]."
Sahih International
They said, "O Moses, either you throw [your staff], or we will be the ones to throw [first]."
Sahih International
He said, "Throw," and when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people and struck terror into them, and they presented a great [feat of] magic.
Sahih International
And We inspired to Moses, "Throw your staff," and at once it devoured what they were falsifying.
Sahih International
So the truth was established, and abolished was what they were doing.
Sahih International
And Pharaoh and his people were overcome right there and became debased.
Sahih International
Said Pharaoh, "You believed in him before I gave you permission. Indeed, this is a conspiracy which you conspired in the city to expel therefrom its people. But you are going to know.
Sahih International
I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides; then I will surely crucify you all."
Sahih International
And you do not resent us except because we believed in the signs of our Lord when they came to us. Our Lord, pour upon us patience and let us die as Muslims [in submission to You]."
Sahih International
And the eminent among the people of Pharaoh said," Will you leave Moses and his people to cause corruption in the land and abandon you and your gods?" [Pharaoh] said, "We will kill their sons and keep their women alive; and indeed, we are subjugators over them."
Sahih International
Said Moses to his people, "Seek help through Allah and be patient. Indeed, the earth belongs to Allah . He causes to inherit it whom He wills of His servants. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous."
Sahih International
They said, "We have been harmed before you came to us and after you have come to us." He said, "Perhaps your Lord will destroy your enemy and grant you succession in the land and see how you will do."
Sahih International
And We certainly seized the people of Pharaoh with years of famine and a deficiency in fruits that perhaps they would be reminded.
Sahih International
But when good came to them, they said, "This is ours [by right]." And if a bad [condition] struck them, they saw an evil omen in Moses and those with him. Unquestionably, their fortune is with Allah , but most of them do not know.
Sahih International
And they said, "No matter what sign you bring us with which to bewitch us, we will not be believers in you."
Sahih International
So We sent upon them the flood and locusts and lice and frogs and blood as distinct signs, but they were arrogant and were a criminal people.
Sahih International
And when the punishment descended upon them, they said, "O Moses, invoke for us your Lord by what He has promised you. If you [can] remove the punishment from us, we will surely believe you, and we will send with you the Children of Israel."
Sahih International
But when We removed the punishment from them until a term which they were to reach, then at once they broke their word.
Sahih International
So We took retribution from them, and We drowned them in the sea because they denied Our signs and were heedless of them.
Sahih International
And We caused the people who had been oppressed to inherit the eastern regions of the land and the western ones, which We had blessed. And the good word of your Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel because of what they had patiently endured. And We destroyed [all] that Pharaoh and his people were producing and what they had been building.
Sahih International
And We took the Children of Israel across the sea; then they came upon a people intent in devotion to [some] idols of theirs. They said, "O Moses, make for us a god just as they have gods." He said, "Indeed, you are a people behaving ignorantly.
Sahih International
Indeed, those [worshippers] - destroyed is that in which they are [engaged], and worthless is whatever they were doing."
Sahih International
He said, "Is it other than Allah I should desire for you as a god while He has preferred you over the worlds?"
Sahih International
And [recall, O Children of Israel], when We saved you from the people of Pharaoh, [who were] afflicting you with the worst torment - killing your sons and keeping your women alive. And in that was a great trial from your Lord.
Sahih International
And We made an appointment with Moses for thirty nights and perfected them by [the addition of] ten; so the term of his Lord was completed as forty nights. And Moses said to his brother Aaron, "Take my place among my people, do right [by them], and do not follow the way of the corrupters."
Sahih International
And when Moses arrived at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, "My Lord, show me [Yourself] that I may look at You." [ Allah ] said, "You will not see Me, but look at the mountain; if it should remain in place, then you will see Me." But when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He rendered it level, and Moses fell unconscious. And when he awoke, he said, "Exalted are You! I have repented to You, and I am the first of the believers."
Sahih International
[ Allah ] said, "O Moses, I have chosen you over the people with My messages and My words [to you]. So take what I have given you and be among the grateful."
Sahih International
And We wrote for him on the tablets [something] of all things - instruction and explanation for all things, [saying], "Take them with determination and order your people to take the best of it. I will show you the home of the defiantly disobedient."
Sahih International
I will turn away from My signs those who are arrogant upon the earth without right; and if they should see every sign, they will not believe in it. And if they see the way of consciousness, they will not adopt it as a way; but if they see the way of error, they will adopt it as a way. That is because they have denied Our signs and they were heedless of them.
Sahih International
Those who denied Our signs and the meeting of the Hereafter - their deeds have become worthless. Are they recompensed except for what they used to do?
Sahih International
And the people of Moses made, after [his departure], from their ornaments a calf - an image having a lowing sound. Did they not see that it could neither speak to them nor guide them to a way? They took it [for worship], and they were wrongdoers.
