One of the 240 subdivisions of the Quran (quarter of a Hizb)
Then We revealed Our will to Moses, ‘Leave with My servants by night, for you will be pursued!’
Translation 1260
Pharaoh sent messengers into the cities, proclaiming
Translation 1260
‘These people are a puny band––
Translation 1260
they have enraged us
Translation 1260
and we are a large army, on the alert.’
Translation 1260
So it was that We made them leave their gardens and their springs
Translation 1260
their treasures and their noble dwellings
Translation 1260
We gave [such] things [later]to the Children of Israel
Translation 1260
Pharaoh and his people pursued them at sunrise
Translation 1260
and as soon as the two sides came within sight of one another, Moses’ followers said, ‘We shall definitely be caught.’
Translation 1260
Moses said, ‘No, my Lord is with me: He will guide me,’
Translation 1260
and We revealed to Moses: ‘Strike the sea with your staff.’ It parted- each side like a mighty mountain
Translation 1260
and We brought the others to that place
Translation 1260
We saved Moses and all his companions
Translation 1260
and drowned the rest
Translation 1260
There truly is a sign in this, though most of them do not believe
Translation 1260
your Lord alone is the Almighty, the Merciful
Translation 1260
Tell them the story of Abraham
Translation 1260
when he asked his father and his people, ‘What do you worship?’
Translation 1260
They said, ‘We worship idols, and are constantly in attendance on them.’
Translation 1260
He asked, ‘Do they hear you when you call
Translation 1260
Do they help or harm you?’
Translation 1260
They replied, ‘No, but this is what we saw our fathers doing.’
Translation 1260
Abraham said, ‘Those idols you have worshipped
Translation 1260
you and your forefathers
Translation 1260
are my enemies; not so the Lord of the Worlds
Translation 1260
who created me. It is He who guides me
Translation 1260
He who gives me food and drink
Translation 1260
He who cures me when I am ill
Translation 1260
He who will make me die and then give me life again
Translation 1260
and He who will, I hope, forgive my faults on the Day of Judgement
Translation 1260
My Lord, grant me wisdom; join me with the righteous
Translation 1260
give me a good name among later generations
Translation 1260
make me one of those given the Garden of Bliss
Translation 1260
forgive my father, for he is one of those who have gone astray
Translation 1260
and do not disgrace me on the Day when all people are resurrected
Translation 1260
the Day when neither wealth nor children can help
Translation 1260
when the only one who will be saved is the one who comes before God with a heart devoted to Him.’
Translation 1260
When the Garden is brought near to the righteous
Translation 1260
and the Fire is placed in full view of the misguided
Translation 1260
it will be said to them, ‘Where are those you worshipped
Translation 1260
beside God? Can they help you now, or even help themselves?’
Translation 1260
and then they will all be hurled into Hell, together with those that misled them
Translation 1260
and all Iblis’s supporters
Translation 1260
There they will say to their gods, as they bicker among themselves
Translation 1260
‘We were clearly misguided
Translation 1260
when we made you equal with the Lord of the Worlds
Translation 1260
It was the evildoers who led us astray
Translation 1260
and now we have no intercessor
Translation 1260
and no true friend
Translation 1260
If only we could live our lives again, we would be true believers!’
Translation 1260
There truly is a sign in this, though most of them do not believe
Translation 1260
your Lord alone is the Almighty, the Merciful
Translation 1260
The people of Noah, too, called the messengers liars
Translation 1260
Their brother Noah said to them, ‘Will you not be mindful of God
Translation 1260
I am a faithful messenger sent to you
Translation 1260
be mindful of God and obey me
Translation 1260
I ask no reward of you, for my only reward is with the Lord of the Worlds
Translation 1260
be mindful of God and obey me.’
