طٰسٓمّٓ ﴿۲﴾
Ta Sin Mim.[✛]تِلۡکَ اٰیٰتُ الۡکِتٰبِ الۡمُبِیۡنِ ﴿۳﴾
These are verses of the clear Book.لَعَلَّکَ بَاخِعٌ نَّفۡسَکَ اَلَّا یَکُوۡنُوۡا مُؤۡمِنِیۡنَ ﴿۴﴾
Haply thou wilt grieve thyself to death because they believe not.اِنۡ نَّشَاۡ نُنَزِّلۡ عَلَیۡہِمۡ مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ اٰیَۃً فَظَلَّتۡ اَعۡنَاقُہُمۡ لَہَا خٰضِعِیۡنَ ﴿۵﴾
If We please, We can send down to them a Sign from the heaven, so that their necks will bow down before it.وَمَا یَاۡتِیۡہِمۡ مِّنۡ ذِکۡرٍ مِّنَ الرَّحۡمٰنِ مُحۡدَثٍ اِلَّا کَانُوۡا عَنۡہُ مُعۡرِضِیۡنَ ﴿۶﴾
And there comes not to them a new Reminder from the Gracious God, but they turn away from it.فَقَدۡ کَذَّبُوۡا فَسَیَاۡتِیۡہِمۡ اَنۡۢبٰٓؤُا مَا کَانُوۡا بِہٖ یَسۡتَہۡزِءُوۡنَ ﴿۷﴾
They have, indeed, treated it as a lie, but soon there will come to them the tidings of that at which they mocked.اَوَلَمۡ یَرَوۡا اِلَی الۡاَرۡضِ کَمۡ اَنۡۢبَتۡنَا فِیۡہَا مِنۡ کُلِّ زَوۡجٍ کَرِیۡمٍ ﴿۸﴾
Have they not looked at the earth, how many of every noble species have We caused to grow therein?اِنَّ فِیۡ ذٰلِکَ لَاٰیَۃً ؕ وَمَا کَانَ اَکۡثَرُہُمۡ مُّؤۡمِنِیۡنَ ﴿۹﴾
In that there is a Sign indeed; but most of these would not believe.وَاِنَّ رَبَّکَ لَہُوَ الۡعَزِیۡزُ الرَّحِیۡمُ ﴿٪۱۰﴾
And verily, thy Lord — He is the Mighty, the Merciful.وَاِذۡ نَادٰی رَبُّکَ مُوۡسٰۤی اَنِ ائۡتِ الۡقَوۡمَ الظّٰلِمِیۡنَ ﴿ۙ۱۱﴾
And remember when thy Lord called Moses, saying, ‘Go to the wrongdoing people —قَوۡمَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ ؕ اَلَا یَتَّقُوۡنَ ﴿۱۲﴾
‘The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear God?’قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّیۡۤ اَخَافُ اَنۡ یُّکَذِّبُوۡنِ ﴿ؕ۱۳﴾
He said, ‘My Lord, I fear that they will treat me as a liar;وَیَضِیۡقُ صَدۡرِیۡ وَلَا یَنۡطَلِقُ لِسَانِیۡ فَاَرۡسِلۡ اِلٰی ہٰرُوۡنَ ﴿۱۴﴾
‘And my breast is straitened and my tongue is not fluent; therefore, send word to Aaron.26:15

وَلَہُمۡ عَلَیَّ ذَنۡۢبٌ فَاَخَافُ اَنۡ یَّقۡتُلُوۡنِ ﴿ۚ۱۵﴾
[✲]‘And they have a charge against me, so I fear that they may kill me.’قَالَ کَلَّا ۚ فَاذۡہَبَا بِاٰیٰتِنَاۤ اِنَّا مَعَکُمۡ مُّسۡتَمِعُوۡنَ ﴿۱۶﴾
God said, “Not so, go then, both of you, with Our Signs; We are with you and We hear.فَاۡتِیَا فِرۡعَوۡنَ فَقُوۡلَاۤ اِنَّا رَسُوۡلُ رَبِّ الۡعٰلَمِیۡنَ ﴿ۙ۱۷﴾
“So go to Pharaoh, and say, ‘We are the Messengers of the Lord of the worlds,اَنۡ اَرۡسِلۡ مَعَنَا بَنِیۡۤ اِسۡرَآءِیۡلَ ﴿ؕ۱۸﴾
‘To tell thee to send the children of Israel with us.’”قَالَ اَلَمۡ نُرَبِّکَ فِیۡنَا وَلِیۡدًا وَّلَبِثۡتَ فِیۡنَا مِنۡ عُمُرِکَ سِنِیۡنَ ﴿ۙ۱۹﴾
Pharaoh said, ‘Did we not bring thee up among us as a child? And thou didst stay among us many years of thy life.وَفَعَلۡتَ فَعۡلَتَکَ الَّتِیۡ فَعَلۡتَ وَاَنۡتَ مِنَ الۡکٰفِرِیۡنَ ﴿۲۰﴾
‘And thou didst do thy deed which thou didst, and thou art of the ungrateful.’قَالَ فَعَلۡتُہَاۤ اِذًا وَّاَنَا مِنَ الضَّآلِّیۡنَ ﴿ؕ۲۱﴾
Moses said, ‘I did do it then, and I was one of the erring.26:22

فَفَرَرۡتُ مِنۡکُمۡ لَمَّا خِفۡتُکُمۡ فَوَہَبَ لِیۡ رَبِّیۡ حُکۡمًا وَّجَعَلَنِیۡ مِنَ الۡمُرۡسَلِیۡنَ ﴿۲۲﴾
[✲]‘So I fled from you when I feared you; then my Lord granted me right judgment and made me one of the Messengers.وَتِلۡکَ نِعۡمَۃٌ تَمُنُّہَا عَلَیَّ اَنۡ عَبَّدۡتَّ بَنِیۡۤ اِسۡرَآءِیۡلَ ﴿ؕ۲۳﴾
‘And this is the favour for which thou tauntest me; that thou hast enslaved the children of Israel.’قَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ وَمَا رَبُّ الۡعٰلَمِیۡنَ ﴿ؕ۲۴﴾
Pharaoh said, ‘And what is the Lord of the worlds?’قَالَ رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا بَیۡنَہُمَا ؕ اِنۡ کُنۡتُمۡ مُّوۡقِنِیۡنَ ﴿۲۵﴾
Moses said, ‘The Lord of the heavens and the earth and of all that is between the two, if you would be convinced.’قَالَ لِمَنۡ حَوۡلَہٗۤ اَلَا تَسۡتَمِعُوۡنَ ﴿۲۶﴾
Pharaoh said to those around him, ‘Do you not hear?’قَالَ رَبُّکُمۡ وَرَبُّ اٰبَآئِکُمُ الۡاَوَّلِیۡنَ ﴿۲۷﴾
Moses said, ‘Your Lord, and the Lord of your fathers of yore.’قَالَ اِنَّ رَسُوۡلَکُمُ الَّذِیۡۤ اُرۡسِلَ اِلَیۡکُمۡ لَمَجۡنُوۡنٌ ﴿۲۸﴾
Pharaoh said, ‘Most surely this Messenger of yours who has been sent to you is a madman.’قَالَ رَبُّ الۡمَشۡرِقِ وَالۡمَغۡرِبِ وَمَا بَیۡنَہُمَا ؕ اِنۡ کُنۡتُمۡ تَعۡقِلُوۡنَ ﴿۲۹﴾
Moses said, ‘The Lord of the East and of the West, and of all that is between the two, if you did but understand.’قَالَ لَئِنِ اتَّخَذۡتَ اِلٰـہًا غَیۡرِیۡ لَاَجۡعَلَنَّکَ مِنَ الۡمَسۡجُوۡنِیۡنَ ﴿۳۰﴾
Pharaoh said, ‘If thou takest a God other than me, I will certainly put thee into prison.’قَالَ اَوَلَوۡ جِئۡتُکَ بِشَیۡءٍ مُّبِیۡنٍ ﴿ۚ۳۱﴾
Moses said, ‘What, even though I bring thee something that is manifest!’قَالَ فَاۡتِ بِہٖۤ اِنۡ کُنۡتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِیۡنَ ﴿۳۲﴾
Pharaoh said, ‘Bring it then, if thou speakest the truth.’فَاَلۡقٰی عَصَاہُ فَاِذَا ہِیَ ثُعۡبَانٌ مُّبِیۡنٌ ﴿ۚۖ۳۳﴾
So he threw down his rod, and behold! it was a serpent plainly visible.وَّنَزَعَ یَدَہٗ فَاِذَا ہِیَ بَیۡضَآءُ لِلنّٰظِرِیۡنَ ﴿٪۳۴﴾
And he drew forth his hand, and lo! it was white for the beholders.قَالَ لِلۡمَلَاِ حَوۡلَہٗۤ اِنَّ ہٰذَا لَسٰحِرٌ عَلِیۡمٌ ﴿ۙ۳۵﴾
Pharaoh said to the chiefs around him, ‘This is surely a skilful magician.یُّرِیۡدُ اَنۡ یُّخۡرِجَکُمۡ مِّنۡ اَرۡضِکُمۡ بِسِحۡرِہٖ ٭ۖ فَمَاذَا تَاۡمُرُوۡنَ ﴿۳۶﴾
‘He seeks to turn you out of your land by his magic. Now what do you advise?’قَالُوۡۤا اَرۡجِہۡ وَاَخَاہُ وَابۡعَثۡ فِی الۡمَدَآئِنِ حٰشِرِیۡنَ ﴿ۙ۳۷﴾
They said, ‘Put him off and his brother awhile and send into the cities summoners,یَاۡتُوۡکَ بِکُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِیۡمٍ ﴿۳۸﴾
‘Who should bring thee every skilful sorcerer.’فَجُمِعَ السَّحَرَۃُ لِمِیۡقَاتِ یَوۡمٍ مَّعۡلُوۡمٍ ﴿ۙ۳۹﴾
So the magicians were assembled together at the appointed time on a fixed day.وَّقِیۡلَ لِلنَّاسِ ہَلۡ اَنۡتُمۡ مُّجۡتَمِعُوۡنَ ﴿ۙ۴۰﴾
And it was said to the people, ‘Will you also gather together,لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ السَّحَرَۃَ اِنۡ کَانُوۡا ہُمُ الۡغٰلِبِیۡنَ ﴿۴۱﴾
‘So that we may follow the magicians if they are the winners?’فَلَمَّا جَآءَ السَّحَرَۃُ قَالُوۡا لِفِرۡعَوۡنَ اَئِنَّ لَنَا لَاَجۡرًا اِنۡ کُنَّا نَحۡنُ الۡغٰلِبِیۡنَ ﴿۴۲﴾
And, when the magicians came, they said to Pharaoh, ‘Shall we have a reward if we are the winners?’26:43

قَالَ نَعَمۡ وَاِنَّکُمۡ اِذًا لَّمِنَ الۡمُقَرَّبِیۡنَ ﴿۴۳﴾
[✲]He said, ‘Yes, and surely then you will be among those who are near my person.’قَالَ لَہُمۡ مُّوۡسٰۤی اَلۡقُوۡا مَاۤ اَنۡتُمۡ مُّلۡقُوۡنَ ﴿۴۴﴾
Moses said to them, ‘Now throw ye what you have to throw.’فَاَلۡقَوۡا حِبَالَہُمۡ وَعِصِیَّہُمۡ وَقَالُوۡا بِعِزَّۃِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ اِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ الۡغٰلِبُوۡنَ ﴿۴۵﴾
So they threw down their ropes and their rods, and said, ‘By Pharaoh’s honour, it is we who will surely win.’فَاَلۡقٰی مُوۡسٰی عَصَاہُ فَاِذَا ہِیَ تَلۡقَفُ مَا یَاۡفِکُوۡنَ ﴿ۚۖ۴۶﴾
Then Moses threw down his rod, and lo! it swallowed up that which they had fabricated.فَاُلۡقِیَ السَّحَرَۃُ سٰجِدِیۡنَ ﴿ۙ۴۷﴾
Thereupon the magicians were impelled to fall down prostrate.قَالُوۡۤا اٰمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الۡعٰلَمِیۡنَ ﴿ۙ۴۸﴾
They said, ‘We believe in the Lord of the worlds,رَبِّ مُوۡسٰی وَہٰرُوۡنَ ﴿۴۹﴾
‘The Lord of Moses, and of Aaron.’قَالَ اٰمَنۡتُمۡ لَہٗ قَبۡلَ اَنۡ اٰذَنَ لَکُمۡ ۚ اِنَّہٗ لَکَبِیۡرُکُمُ الَّذِیۡ عَلَّمَکُمُ السِّحۡرَ ۚ فَلَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ۬ؕ لَاُقَطِّعَنَّ اَیۡدِیَکُمۡ وَاَرۡجُلَکُمۡ مِّنۡ خِلَافٍ وَّلَاُوصَلِّبَنَّکُمۡ اَجۡمَعِیۡنَ ﴿ۚ۵۰﴾
Pharaoh said, ‘You have believed in him before I gave you leave? He is surely your chief who has taught you magic. But you shall know the consequences thereof. I will most surely cut off your hands and your feet on alternate sides, and I will most surely crucify you all.’قَالُوۡا لَا ضَیۡرَ ۫ اِنَّاۤ اِلٰی رَبِّنَا مُنۡقَلِبُوۡنَ ﴿ۚ۵۱﴾
They said, ‘There is no harm; to our lord shall we return.اِنَّا نَطۡمَعُ اَنۡ یَّغۡفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطٰیٰنَاۤ اَنۡ کُنَّاۤ اَوَّلَ الۡمُؤۡمِنِیۡنَ ﴿ؕ٪۵۲﴾
‘We do hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins, since we are the first among the believers.’وَاَوۡحَیۡنَاۤ اِلٰی مُوۡسٰۤی اَنۡ اَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِیۡۤ اِنَّکُمۡ مُّتَّبَعُوۡنَ ﴿۵۳﴾
And We revealed to Moses, saying, ‘Take away My servants by night, you will surely be pursued.’فَاَرۡسَلَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ فِی الۡمَدَآئِنِ حٰشِرِیۡنَ ﴿ۚ۵۴﴾
And Pharaoh sent summoners into the cities, saying,اِنَّ ہٰۤؤُلَآءِ لَشِرۡذِمَۃٌ قَلِیۡلُوۡنَ ﴿ۙ۵۵﴾
‘These are a small party,وَاِنَّہُمۡ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُوۡنَ ﴿ۙ۵۶﴾
‘And they have offended us;وَاِنَّا لَجَمِیۡعٌ حٰذِرُوۡنَ ﴿ؕ۵۷﴾
‘And we are a multitude fully prepared and vigilant.’فَاَخۡرَجۡنٰہُمۡ مِّنۡ جَنّٰتٍ وَّعُیُوۡنٍ ﴿ۙ۵۸﴾
So We turned them out of gardens, and springs,وَّکُنُوۡزٍ وَّمَقَامٍ کَرِیۡمٍ ﴿ۙ۵۹﴾
And treasures, and an abode of honour.کَذٰلِکَ ؕ وَاَوۡرَثۡنٰہَا بَنِیۡۤ اِسۡرَآءِیۡلَ ﴿ؕ۶۰﴾
Thus indeed it was; and We gave them as heritage to the children of Israel —فَاَتۡبَعُوۡہُمۡ مُّشۡرِقِیۡنَ ﴿۶۱﴾
And they pursued and overtook them at sunrise.فَلَمَّا تَرَآءَ الۡجَمۡعٰنِ قَالَ اَصۡحٰبُ مُوۡسٰۤی اِنَّا لَمُدۡرَکُوۡنَ ﴿ۚ۶۲﴾
And when the two hosts came in sight of each other the companions of Moses said, ‘We are surely overtaken.’قَالَ کَلَّا ۚ اِنَّ مَعِیَ رَبِّیۡ سَیَہۡدِیۡنِ ﴿۶۳﴾
‘Nay, speak not thus!’ said he, ‘My Lord is with me. He will direct me aright.’فَاَوۡحَیۡنَاۤ اِلٰی مُوۡسٰۤی اَنِ اضۡرِبۡ بِّعَصَاکَ الۡبَحۡرَ ؕ فَانۡفَلَقَ فَکَانَ کُلُّ فِرۡقٍ کَالطَّوۡدِ الۡعَظِیۡمِ ﴿ۚ۶۴﴾
Then We revealed to Moses, saying, ‘Strike the sea with thy rod.’ Thereupon it parted, and every part looked like a huge mountain.26:65

وَاَزۡلَفۡنَا ثَمَّ الۡاٰخَرِیۡنَ ﴿ۚ۶۵﴾
[✲]And We made others approach that place.وَاَنۡجَیۡنَا مُوۡسٰی وَمَنۡ مَّعَہٗۤ اَجۡمَعِیۡنَ ﴿ۚ۶۶﴾
And We saved Moses and those who were with him.ثُمَّ اَغۡرَقۡنَا الۡاٰخَرِیۡنَ ﴿ؕ۶۷﴾
Then We drowned the others.اِنَّ فِیۡ ذٰلِکَ لَاٰیَۃً ؕ وَمَا کَانَ اَکۡثَرُہُمۡ مُّؤۡمِنِیۡنَ ﴿۶۸﴾
In this, verily, there is a Sign; but most of these would not believe.وَاِنَّ رَبَّکَ لَہُوَ الۡعَزِیۡزُ الرَّحِیۡمُ ﴿٪۶۹﴾
And surely thy Lord — He is the Mighty, the Merciful.وَاتۡلُ عَلَیۡہِمۡ نَبَاَ اِبۡرٰہِیۡمَ ﴿ۘ۷۰﴾
And recite unto them the story of Abraham.اِذۡ قَالَ لِاَبِیۡہِ وَقَوۡمِہٖ مَا تَعۡبُدُوۡنَ ﴿۷۱﴾
When he said to his father and his people, ‘What do you worship?’قَالُوۡا نَعۡبُدُ اَصۡنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَہَا عٰکِفِیۡنَ ﴿۷۲﴾
They said, ‘We worship idols, and we continue to be devoted to them.’26:73

‘Or do you good or harm you?’قَالُوۡا بَلۡ وَجَدۡنَاۤ اٰبَآءَنَا کَذٰلِکَ یَفۡعَلُوۡنَ ﴿۷۵﴾
They said, ‘Nay, but we found our fathers doing likewise.’قَالَ اَفَرَءَیۡتُمۡ مَّا کُنۡتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُوۡنَ ﴿ۙ۷۶﴾
He said, ‘What think ye of that which you have been worshipping —اَنۡتُمۡ وَاٰبَآؤُکُمُ الۡاَقۡدَمُوۡنَ ﴿۫ۖ۷۷﴾
‘You and your fathers before you.فَاِنَّہُمۡ عَدُوٌّ لِّیۡۤ اِلَّا رَبَّ الۡعٰلَمِیۡنَ ﴿ۙ۷۸﴾

They said, ‘If thou desist not, O Noah, thou shalt surely be one of those who are stoned.’قَالَ رَبِّ اِنَّ قَوۡمِیۡ کَذَّبُوۡنِ ﴿۱۱۸﴾ۚۖ
He said, ‘My Lord, my people have treated me as a liar.فَافۡتَحۡ بَیۡنِیۡ وَبَیۡنَہُمۡ فَتۡحًا وَّنَجِّنِیۡ وَمَنۡ مَّعِیَ مِنَ الۡمُؤۡمِنِیۡنَ ﴿۱۱۹﴾
