49.	قَالَ فَمَنْ رَبُّكُمَا يَا مُوسَى Firaun (Pharaoh) said: "Who then, O Moosa (Moses), is the Lord of you two?"
50.	قَالَ رَبُّنَا الَّذِي أَعْطَى كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلْقَهُ ثُمَّ هَدَى (Moosa (Moses)) said: "Our Lord is He Who gave to each thing its form and nature, then guided it aright."
51.	قَالَ فَمَا بَالُ الْقُرُونِ الْأُولَى (Firaun (Pharaoh)) said: "What about the generations of old?"
52.	قَالَ عِلْمُهَا عِنْدَ رَبِّي فِي كِتَابٍ ۖ (Moosa (Moses)) said: "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord, in a Record. لَا يَضِلُّ رَبِّي وَلَا يَنْسَى My Lord is neither unaware nor He forgets, "
53.	الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ مَهْدًا وَسَلَكَ لَكُمْ فِيهَا سُبُلًا Who has made earth for you like a bed (spread out); and has opened roads (ways and paths etc.) for you therein; وَأَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِ أَزْوَاجًا مِنْ نَبَاتٍ شَتَّى and has sent down water (rain) from the sky. And We have brought forth with it various kinds of vegetation.
54.	كُلُوا وَارْعَوْا أَنْعَامَكُمْ ۗ Eat and pasture your cattle, (therein); إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِأُولِي النُّهَى verily, in this are proofs and signs for men of understanding.
55.	مِنْهَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمْ وَمِنْهَا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تَارَةً أُخْرَى Thereof (the earth) We created you, and into it We shall return you, and from it We shall bring you out once again.
56.	وَلَقَدْ أَرَيْنَاهُ آيَاتِنَا كُلَّهَا فَكَذَّبَ وَأَبَى And indeed We showed him (Firaun (Pharaoh)) all Our Signs and Evidences, but he denied and refused.
57.	قَالَ أَجِئْتَنَا لِتُخْرِجَنَا مِنْ أَرْضِنَا بِسِحْرِكَ يَا مُوسَى He (Firaun (Pharaoh)) said: "Have you come to drive us out of our land with your magic, O Moosa (Moses)?
58.	فَلَنَأْتِيَنَّكَ بِسِحْرٍ مِثْلِهِ "Then verily, we can produce magic the like thereof; فَاجْعَلْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ مَوْعِدًا لَا نُخْلِفُهُ نَحْنُ وَلَا أَنْتَ مَكَانًا سُوًى so appoint a meeting between us and you, which neither we, nor you shall fail to keep, in an open wide place where both shall have a just and equal chance (and beholders could witness the competition)."
59.	قَالَ مَوْعِدُكُمْ يَوْمُ الزِّينَةِ وَأَنْ يُحْشَرَ النَّاسُ ضُحًى (Moosa (Moses)) said: "Your appointed meeting is the day of the festival, and let the people assemble when the sun has risen (forenoon)."
60.	فَتَوَلَّى فِرْعَوْنُ فَجَمَعَ كَيْدَهُ ثُمَّ أَتَى So Firaun (Pharaoh) withdrew, devised his plot and then came back.
61.	قَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى وَيْلَكُمْ لَا تَفْتَرُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا فَيُسْحِتَكُمْ بِعَذَابٍ ۖ Moosa (Moses) said to them: "Woe unto you! Invent not a lie against Allah, lest He should destroy you completely by a torment. وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنِ افْتَرَى And surely, he who invents a lie (against Allah) will fail miserably."
62.	فَتَنَازَعُوا أَمْرَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ وَأَسَرُّوا النَّجْوَى Then they debated with one another what they must do, and they kept their talk secret.
63.	قَالُوا إِنْ هَذَانِ لَسَاحِرَانِ They said: "Verily! These are two magicians. يُرِيدَانِ أَنْ يُخْرِجَاكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِكُمْ بِسِحْرِهِمَا وَيَذْهَبَا بِطَرِيقَتِكُمُ الْمُثْلَى Their object is to drive you out from your land with magic, and overcome your chiefs and nobles.
64.	فَأَجْمِعُوا كَيْدَكُمْ ثُمَّ ائْتُوا صَفًّا ۚ "So devise your plot, and then assemble in line. وَقَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْيَوْمَ مَنِ اسْتَعْلَى And whoever overcomes this day will be indeed successful."
65.	قَالُوا يَا مُوسَى إِمَّا أَنْ تُلْقِيَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ نَكُونَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَلْقَى They said: "O Moosa (Moses)! Either you throw first or we be the first to throw?"
66.	قَالَ بَلْ أَلْقُوا ۖ (Moosa (Moses)) said: "Nay, throw you (first)!" فَإِذَا حِبَالُهُمْ وَعِصِيُّهُمْ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ سِحْرِهِمْ أَنَّهَا تَسْعَى Then behold, their ropes and their sticks, by their magic, appeared to him as though they moved fast.
67.	فَأَوْجَسَ فِي نَفْسِهِ خِيفَةً مُوسَى So Moosa (Moses) conceived a fear in himself.
68.	قُلْنَا لَا تَخَفْ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْأَعْلَى We (Allah) said: "Fear not! Surely, you will have the upper hand.
69.	وَأَلْقِ مَا فِي يَمِينِكَ تَلْقَفْ مَا صَنَعُوا ۖ "And throw that which is in your right hand! It will swallow up that which they have made. إِنَّمَا صَنَعُوا كَيْدُ سَاحِرٍ ۖ That which they have made is only a magicians trick, وَلَا يُفْلِحُ السَّاحِرُ حَيْثُ أَتَى and the magician will never be successful, no matter whatever amount (of skill) he may attain."
70.	فَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سُجَّدًا So the magicians fell down prostrate. قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ هَارُونَ وَمُوسَى They said: "We believe in the Lord of Haroon (Aaron) and Moosa (Moses)."
71.	قَالَ آمَنْتُمْ لَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ آذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ (Firaun (Pharaoh)) said: "Believe you in him (Moosa (Moses)) before I give you permission? إِنَّهُ الَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَ ۖ Verily! He is your chief who taught you magic. فَلَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ مِنْ خِلَافٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ فِي جُذُوعِ النَّخْلِ So I will surely cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you on the trunks of date-palms, وَلَتَعْلَمُنَّ أَيُّنَا أَشَدُّ عَذَابًا وَأَبْقَى and you shall surely know which of us (I (Firaun Pharaoh) or the Lord of Moosa (Moses) (Allah)) can give the severe and more lasting torment."
72.	قَالُوا لَنْ نُؤْثِرَكَ عَلَى مَا جَاءَنَا مِنَ الْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالَّذِي فَطَرَنَا ۖ They said: "We prefer you not over the clear signs that have come to us, and to Him (Allah) Who created us. فَاقْضِ مَا أَنْتَ قَاضٍ ۖ إِنَّمَا تَقْضِي هَذِهِ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا So decree whatever you desire to decree, for you can only decree (regarding) this life of the world.
73.	إِنَّا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّنَا لِيَغْفِرَ لَنَا خَطَايَانَا وَمَا أَكْرَهْتَنَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ السِّحْرِ ۗ "Verily! We have believed in our Lord, that He may forgive us our faults, and the magic to which you did compel us. وَاللَّهُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَى And Allah is better as regards reward in comparison to your (Firaun's (Pharaoh)) reward, and more lasting (as regards punishment in comparison to your punishment)."
74.	إِنَّهُ مَنْ يَأْتِ رَبَّهُ مُجْرِمًا فَإِنَّ لَهُ جَهَنَّمَ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَى Verily! Whoever comes to his Lord as a Mujrim (criminal, polytheist, disbeliever in the Oneness of Allah and His Messengers, sinner, etc.), then surely, for him is Hell, therein he will neither die nor live.
75.	وَمَنْ يَأْتِهِ مُؤْمِنًا قَدْ عَمِلَ الصَّالِحَاتِ فَأُولَئِكَ لَهُمُ الدَّرَجَاتُ الْعُلَى But whoever comes to Him (Allah) as a believer (in the Oneness of Allah, etc.), and has done righteous good deeds, for such are the high ranks (in the Hereafter),
76.	جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ Adn (Edn) Paradise (everlasting Gardens), under which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever: وَذَلِكَ جَزَاءُ مَنْ تَزَكَّى such is the reward of those who purify themselves ((by abstaining from all kinds of sins and evil deeds) which Allah has forbidden and by doing all that which Allah has ordained)).
77.	وَلَقَدْ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى مُوسَى أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِي And indeed We inspired Moosa (Moses) (saying): "Travel by night with Ibadi (My slaves) فَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ طَرِيقًا فِي الْبَحْرِ and strike a dry path for them in the sea, يَبَسًا لَا تَخَافُ دَرَكًا وَلَا تَخْشَى fearing neither to be overtaken (by Firaun (Pharaoh)) nor being afraid (of drowning in the sea)."
78.	فَأَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ بِجُنُودِهِ فَغَشِيَهُمْ مِنَ الْيَمِّ مَا غَشِيَهُمْ Then Firaun (Pharaoh) pursued them with his hosts, but the sea-water completely overwhelmed them and covered them up.
79.	‏وَأَضَلَّ فِرْعَوْنُ قَوْمَهُ وَمَا هَدَى And Firaun (Pharaoh) led his people astray, and he did not guide them.
80.	يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ أَنْجَيْنَاكُمْ مِنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ O Children of Israel! We delivered you from your enemy, وَوَاعَدْنَاكُمْ جَانِبَ الطُّورِ الْأَيْمَنَ and We made a covenant with you on the right side of the Mount, وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَنَّ وَالسَّلْوَى and We sent down to you Al-Manna and quails,
81.	كُلُوا مِنْ طَيِّبَاتِ مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْ (Saying) eat of the Taiyibat (good lawful things) wherewith We have provided you, وَلَا تَطْغَوْا فِيهِ فَيَحِلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ غَضَبِي ۖ and commit no oppression therein, lest My Anger should justly descend on you. وَمَنْ يَحْلِلْ عَلَيْهِ غَضَبِي فَقَدْ هَوَى And he on whom My Anger descends, he is indeed perished.
82.	وَإِنِّي لَغَفَّارٌ لِمَنْ تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا ثُمَّ اهْتَدَى And verily, I am indeed Forgiving to him who repents, believes (in My Oneness, and associates none in worship with Me) and does righteous good deeds, and then remains constant in doing them, (till his death).
83.	‏وَمَا أَعْجَلَكَ عَنْ قَوْمِكَ يَا مُوسَى "And what made you hasten from your people, O Moosa (Moses)?"
84.	قَالَ هُمْ أُولَاءِ عَلَى أَثَرِي وَعَجِلْتُ إِلَيْكَ رَبِّ لِتَرْضَى He said: "They are close on my footsteps, and I hastened to You, O my Lord, that You might be pleased."
85.	قَالَ فَإِنَّا قَدْ فَتَنَّا قَوْمَكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ (Allah) said: "Verily! We have tried your people in your absence, وَأَضَلَّهُمُ السَّامِرِيُّ and As-Samiri has led them astray."
86.	فَرَجَعَ مُوسَى إِلَى قَوْمِهِ غَضْبَانَ أَسِفًا ۚ Then Moosa (Moses) returned to his people in a state of anger and sorrow. قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ أَلَمْ يَعِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ وَعْدًا حَسَنًا ۚ He said: "O my people! Did not your Lord promise you a fair promise? أَفَطَالَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْعَهْدُ Did then the promise seem to you long in coming? أَمْ أَرَدْتُمْ أَنْ يَحِلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ غَضَبٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ فَأَخْلَفْتُمْ مَوْعِدِي Or did you desire that wrath should descend from your Lord on you, so you broke your promise to me (i.e disbelieving in Allah and worshipping the calf)?"
87.	قَالُوا مَا أَخْلَفْنَا مَوْعِدَكَ بِمَلْكِنَا They said: "We broke not the promise to you, of our own will, وَلَكِنَّا حُمِّلْنَا أَوْزَارًا مِنْ زِينَةِ الْقَوْمِ فَقَذَفْنَاهَا but we were made to carry the weight of the ornaments of the (Firauns (Pharaoh)) people, then we cast them (into the fire), فَكَذَلِكَ أَلْقَى السَّامِرِيُّ and that was what As-Samiri suggested."
88.	فَأَخْرَجَ لَهُمْ عِجْلًا جَسَدًا لَهُ خُوَارٌ Then he took out (of the fire) for them a statue of a calf which seemed to low. فَقَالُوا هَذَا إِلَهُكُمْ وَإِلَهُ مُوسَى فَنَسِيَ They said: "This is your ilah (god), and the ilah (god) of Moosa (Moses), but (Moosa (Moses)) has forgotten (his god)."
89.	أَفَلَا يَرَوْنَ أَلَّا يَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِمْ قَوْلًا وَلَا يَمْلِكُ لَهُمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا Did they not see that it could not return them a word (for answer), and that it had no power either to harm them or to do them good?
90.	وَلَقَدْ قَالَ لَهُمْ هَارُونُ مِنْ قَبْلُ يَا قَوْمِ إِنَّمَا فُتِنْتُمْ بِهِ ۖ And Haroon (Aaron) indeed had said to them beforehand: "O my people! You are being tried in this, وَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ الرَّحْمَنُ فَاتَّبِعُونِي وَأَطِيعُوا أَمْرِي and verily, your Lord is (Allah) the Most Beneficent, so follow me and obey my order."
91.	قَالُوا لَنْ نَبْرَحَ عَلَيْهِ عَاكِفِينَ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْنَا مُوسَى They said: "We will not stop worshipping it (i.e. the calf), until Moosa (Moses) returns to us."
92.	قَالَ يَا هَارُونُ مَا مَنَعَكَ إِذْ رَأَيْتَهُمْ ضَلُّوا (Moosa (Moses)) said: "O Haroon (Aaron)! What stopped you when you saw them going astray;
93.	‏أَلَّا تَتَّبِعَنِ ۖ "That you followed me not (according to my advice to you)? أَفَعَصَيْتَ أَمْرِي Have you then disobeyed my order?"
94.	قَالَ يَا ابْنَ أُمَّ لَا تَأْخُذْ بِلِحْيَتِي وَلَا بِرَأْسِي ۖ He (Haroon (Aaron)) said: "O son of my mother! Seize (me) not by my beard, nor by my head! إِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ تَقُولَ فَرَّقْتَ بَيْنَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَمْ تَرْقُبْ قَوْلِي Verily, I feared lest you should say: You have caused a division among the Children of Israel, and you have not respected my word! "
95.	‏قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكَ يَا سَامِرِيُّ (Moosa (Moses)) said: "And what is the matter with you. O Samiri? (i.e. why did you do so?)"
96.	قَالَ بَصُرْتُ بِمَا لَمْ يَبْصُرُوا بِهِ (Samiri) said: "I saw what they saw not, فَقَبَضْتُ قَبْضَةً مِنْ أَثَرِ الرَّسُولِ فَنَبَذْتُهَا so I took a handful (of dust) from the hoof print of the messenger (Jibraels (Gabriel) horse) and threw it (into the fire in which were put the ornaments of the Firauns (Pharaoh) people, or into the calf). وَكَذَلِكَ سَوَّلَتْ لِي نَفْسِي Thus my inner-self suggested to me."
97.	قَالَ فَاذْهَبْ فَإِنَّ لَكَ فِي الْحَيَاةِ أَنْ تَقُولَ لَا مِسَاسَ ۖ Moosa (Moses) said: "Then go away! And verily, your (punishment) in this life will be that you will say: "Touch me not (i.e. you will live alone exiled away from mankind); وَإِنَّ لَكَ مَوْعِدًا لَنْ تُخْلَفَهُ ۖ and verily (for a future torment), you have a promise that will not fail. وَانْظُرْ إِلَى إِلَهِكَ الَّذِي ظَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ عَاكِفًا ۖ And look at your ilah (god), to which you have been devoted. لَنُحَرِّقَنَّهُ ثُمَّ لَنَنْسِفَنَّهُ فِي الْيَمِّ نَسْفًا We will certainly burn it, and scatter its particles in the sea."
98.	إِنَّمَا إِلَهُكُمُ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ Your Ilah (God) is only Allah, the One La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). وَسِعَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا He has full knowledge of all things.
99.	كَذَلِكَ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَنْبَاءِ مَا قَدْ سَبَقَ ۚ Thus We relate to you (O Muhammad SAW) some information of what happened before. وَقَدْ آتَيْنَاكَ مِنْ لَدُنَّا ذِكْرًا And indeed We have given you from Us a Reminder (this Quran).
100.	مَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَحْمِلُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وِزْرًا Whoever turns away from it (this Quran i.e. does not believe in it, nor acts on its orders), verily, they will bear a heavy burden (of sins) on the Day of Resurrection,
101.	خَالِدِينَ فِيهِ ۖ They will abide in that (state in the Fire of Hell), وَسَاءَ لَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حِمْلًا and evil indeed will it be that load for them on the Day of Resurrection;
102.	يَوْمَ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ ۚ The Day when the Trumpet will be blown (the second blowing): وَنَحْشُرُ الْمُجْرِمِينَ يَوْمَئِذٍ زُرْقًا that Day, We shall gather the Mujrimoon (criminals, polytheists, sinners, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, etc.) Zurqa: (blue or blind eyed with black faces).
103.	يَتَخَافَتُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ إِنْ لَبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا عَشْرًا In whispers will they speak to each other (saying): "You stayed not longer than ten (days)."
104.	نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ We know very well what they will say, إِذْ يَقُولُ أَمْثَلُهُمْ طَرِيقَةً إِنْ لَبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا يَوْمًا when the best among them in knowledge and wisdom will say: "You stayed no longer than a day!"
105.	‏وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْجِبَالِ And they ask you concerning the mountains, فَقُلْ يَنْسِفُهَا رَبِّي نَسْفًا say; "My Lord will blast them and scatter them as particles of dust.
106.	فَيَذَرُهَا قَاعًا صَفْصَفًا "Then He shall leave it as a level smooth plain.
107.	لَا تَرَى فِيهَا عِوَجًا وَلَا أَمْتًا "You will see therein nothing crooked or curved."
108.	يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَّبِعُونَ الدَّاعِيَ لَا عِوَجَ لَهُ ۖ On that Day mankind will follow strictly (the voice of) Allah's caller, no crookedness (that is without going to the right or left of that voice) will they show him (Allah's caller). وَخَشَعَتِ الْأَصْوَاتُ لِلرَّحْمَنِ فَلَا تَسْمَعُ إِلَّا هَمْسًا And all voices will be humbled for the Most Beneficent (Allah), and nothing shall you hear but the low voice of their footsteps.
109.	يَوْمَئِذٍ لَا تَنْفَعُ الشَّفَاعَةُ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمَنُ وَرَضِيَ لَهُ قَوْلًا On that day no intercession shall avail, except the one for whom the Most Beneficent (Allah) has given permission and whose word is acceptable to Him.
110.	‏يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ He (Allah) knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them (in the Hereafter), وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِهِ عِلْمًا and they will never compass anything of His Knowledge.
111.	وَعَنَتِ الْوُجُوهُ لِلْحَيِّ الْقَيُّومِ ۖ And (all) faces shall be humbled before (Allah), the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنْ حَمَلَ ظُلْمًا And he who carried (a burden of) wrongdoing (i.e. he who disbelieved in Allah, ascribed partners to Him, and did deeds of His disobedience), became indeed a complete failure (on that Day).
112.	وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِنَ الصَّالِحَاتِ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَا يَخَافُ ظُلْمًا وَلَا هَضْمًا And he who works deeds of righteousness, while he is a believer (in Islamic Monotheism) then he will have no fear of injustice, nor of any curtailment (of his reward).
113.	وَكَذَلِكَ أَنْزَلْنَاهُ قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا وَصَرَّفْنَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْوَعِيدِ And thus We have sent it down as a Quran in Arabic, and have explained therein in detail the warnings, in order that لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ أَوْ يُحْدِثُ لَهُمْ ذِكْرًا they may fear Allah, or that it may cause them to have a lesson from it (or to have the honour for believing and acting on its teachings).
114.	فَتَعَالَى اللَّهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ ۗ Then High above all be Allah, the True King. وَلَا تَعْجَلْ بِالْقُرْآنِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يُقْضَى إِلَيْكَ وَحْيُهُ ۖ And be not in haste (O Muhammad SAW) with the Quran before its revelation is completed to you, وَقُلْ رَبِّ زِدْنِي عِلْمًا and say: "My Lord! Increase me in knowledge."
115.	وَلَقَدْ عَهِدْنَا إِلَى آدَمَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَنَسِيَ And indeed We made a covenant with Adam before, but he forgot, وَلَمْ نَجِدْ لَهُ عَزْمًا and We found on his part no firm will-power.
116.	وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لِآدَمَ And (remember) when We said to the angels: "Prostrate yourselves to Adam." فَسَجَدُوا إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ أَبَى They prostrated (all) except Iblees (Satan), who refused.
117.	فَقُلْنَا يَا آدَمُ إِنَّ هَذَا عَدُوٌّ لَكَ وَلِزَوْجِكَ Then We said: "O Adam! Verily, this is an enemy to you and to your wife. فَلَا يُخْرِجَنَّكُمَا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ فَتَشْقَى So let him not get you both out of Paradise, so that you be distressed in misery.
118.	إِنَّ لَكَ أَلَّا تَجُوعَ فِيهَا وَلَا تَعْرَى Verily, you have (a promise from Us) that you will never be hungry therein nor naked.
119.	وَأَنَّكَ لَا تَظْمَأُ فِيهَا وَلَا تَضْحَى And you (will) suffer not from thirst therein nor from the suns heat.
120.	فَوَسْوَسَ إِلَيْهِ الشَّيْطَانُ Then Shaitan (Satan) whispered to him, قَالَ يَا آدَمُ هَلْ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى شَجَرَةِ الْخُلْدِ وَمُلْكٍ لَا يَبْلَى saying : "O Adam! Shall I lead you to the Tree of Eternity and to a kingdom that will never waste away?"
121.	‏فَأَكَلَا مِنْهَا فَبَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْآتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخْصِفَانِ عَلَيْهِمَا مِنْ وَرَقِ الْجَنَّةِ ۚ Then they both ate of the tree, and so their private parts appeared to them, and they began to stick on themselves the leaves from Paradise for their covering. وَعَصَى آدَمُ رَبَّهُ فَغَوَى Thus did Adam disobey his Lord, so he went astray.
122.	ثُمَّ اجْتَبَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيْهِ وَهَدَى Then his Lord chose him, and turned to him with forgiveness, and gave him guidance.
123.	قَالَ اهْبِطَا مِنْهَا جَمِيعًا ۖ (Allah) said: "Get you down (from the Paradise to the earth), both of you, together, بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ ۖ some of you are an enemy to some others. فَإِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ مِنِّي هُدًى فَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ هُدَايَ فَلَا يَضِلُّ وَلَا يَشْقَى Then if there comes to you guidance from Me, then whoever follows My Guidance shall neither go astray, nor fall into distress and misery.
124.	وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْ ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنْكًا "But whosoever turns away from My Reminder (i.e. neither believes in this Quran nor acts on its orders, etc.) verily, for him is a life of hardship, وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَى and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection."
125.	قَالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرْتَنِي أَعْمَى وَقَدْ كُنْتُ بَصِيرًا He will say: "O my Lord! Why have you raised me up blind, while I had sight (before)."
126.	قَالَ كَذَلِكَ أَتَتْكَ آيَاتُنَا فَنَسِيتَهَا ۖ (Allah) will say: "Like this, Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) came unto you, but you disregarded them, (i.e. you left them, did not think deeply in them, and you turned away from them) وَكَذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ تُنْسَى and so this Day, you will be neglected (in the Hell-fire, away from Allah's Mercy).
127.	وَكَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي مَنْ أَسْرَفَ وَلَمْ يُؤْمِنْ بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِ ۚ "And thus do We requite him who transgresses beyond bounds (i.e. commits the great sins and disobeys his Lord (Allah) and believes not in His Messengers, and His revealed Books, like this Quran, etc.), and believes not in the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc) of his Lord, وَلَعَذَابُ الْآخِرَةِ أَشَدُّ وَأَبْقَى and the torment of the Hereafter is far more severe and more lasting.
128.	أَفَلَمْ يَهْدِ لَهُمْ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِنَ الْقُرُونِ يَمْشُونَ فِي مَسَاكِنِهِمْ ۗ Is it not a guidance for them (to know) how many generations We have destroyed before them, in whose dwellings they walk? إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِأُولِي النُّهَى Verily, in this are signs indeed for men of understanding.
129.	وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَبِّكَ لَكَانَ لِزَامًا وَأَجَلٌ مُسَمًّى And had it not been for a Word that went forth before from your Lord, and a term determined, (their punishment) must necessarily have come (in this world).
130.	‏فَاصْبِرْ عَلَى مَا يَقُولُونَ So bear patiently (O Muhammad SAW) what they say, وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا ۖ and glorify the praises of your Lord before the rising of the sun, and before its setting, وَمِنْ آنَاءِ اللَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْ وَأَطْرَافَ النَّهَارِ لَعَلَّكَ تَرْضَى and during some of the hours of the night, and at the sides of the day (an indication for the five compulsory congregational prayers), that you may become pleased with the reward which Allah shall give you.
131.	وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَى مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِ أَزْوَاجًا مِنْهُمْ زَهْرَةَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ ۚ And strain not your eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to various groups of them (polytheists and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah), the splendour of the life of this world that We may test them thereby. وَرِزْقُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَى But the provision (good reward in the Hereafter) of your Lord is better and more lasting.
132.	وَأْمُرْ أَهْلَكَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَاصْطَبِرْ عَلَيْهَا ۖ And enjoin As-Salat (the prayer) on your family, and be patient in offering them (i.e. the Salat (prayers)). لَا نَسْأَلُكَ رِزْقًا ۖ نَحْنُ نَرْزُقُكَ ۗ We ask not of you a provision (i.e. to give Us something: money, etc.); We provide for you. وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلتَّقْوَى And the good end (i.e. Paradise) is for the Muttaqoon (pious - see V.2:2).
133.	وَقَالُوا لَوْلَا يَأْتِينَا بِآيَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّهِ ۚ They say: "Why does he not bring us a sign (proof) from his Lord?" أَوَلَمْ تَأْتِهِمْ بَيِّنَةُ مَا فِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَى Has there not come to them the proof of that which is (written) in the former papers (Scriptures, i.e. the Taurat (Torah), and the Injeel (Gospel), etc. about the coming of the Prophet Muhammad SAW ).
134.	وَلَوْ أَنَّا أَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ لَقَالُوا And if We had destroyed them with a torment before this (i.e. Messenger Muhammad SAW and the Quran), they would surely have said: رَبَّنَا لَوْلَا أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولًا فَنَتَّبِعَ آيَاتِكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ نَذِلَّ وَنَخْزَى "Our Lord! If only You had sent us a Messenger, we should certainly have followed Your Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), before we were humiliated and disgraced."
135.	قُلْ كُلٌّ مُتَرَبِّصٌ فَتَرَبَّصُوا ۖ Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Each one (believer and disbeliever, etc.) is waiting, so wait you too, فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَصْحَابُ الصِّرَاطِ السَّوِيِّ وَمَنِ اهْتَدَى and you shall know who are they that are on the Straight and Even Path (i.e. Allah's Religion of Islamic Monotheism), and who are they that have let themselves be guided (on the Right Path). ********
