وَإِن تَجۡهَرۡ بِٱلۡقَوۡلِ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَعۡلَمُ ٱلسِّرَّ وَأَخۡفَى

وَهَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ
Has there come to you the story of Moses?
10 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 010
إِذۡ رَءَا نَارٗا فَقَالَ لِأَهۡلِهِ ٱمۡكُثُوٓاْ إِنِّيٓ ءَانَسۡتُ نَارٗا لَّعَلِّيٓ ءَاتِيكُم مِّنۡهَا بِقَبَسٍ أَوۡ أَجِدُ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ هُدٗى
When he saw a fire, he said to his family, “Stay here. I have spotted a fire; I may bring you a flaming brand from it, or find some guidance at the fire[3].”
[3] They lost their way in the dark while traveling from Midian to Egypt.

Indeed, I am your Lord, so take off your shoes; you are in the sacred valley of Tuwā.
13 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 013
وَأَنَا ٱخۡتَرۡتُكَ فَٱسۡتَمِعۡ لِمَا يُوحَىٰٓ
I have chosen you, so listen to what is being revealed:
14 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 014

‘Indeed, I am Allah; none has the right to be worshiped except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer to remember Me.
15 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 015
إِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٌ أَكَادُ أُخۡفِيهَا لِتُجۡزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفۡسِۭ بِمَا تَسۡعَىٰ
The Hour is certainly coming, but I almost keep it hidden[4], so that every soul will be recompensed for what it strives.
[4] Allah keeps its knowledge hidden from all except its portents which the believers know through the information provided by the Prophet (ﷺ).
16 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 016
فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكَ عَنۡهَا مَن لَّا يُؤۡمِنُ بِهَا وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ فَتَرۡدَىٰ

He said, “It is my staff. I lean on it and beat down leaves with it for my sheep, and I have other uses for it.”[6]
[6] Moses could only say, “A staff.” But he instead gave details about the staff, for he was interested in prolonging the conversation with Allah.
19 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 019
قَالَ أَلۡقِهَا يَٰمُوسَىٰ
Allah said, “Throw it down, O Moses!”
20 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 020

Put your hand under your armpit; it will come out shining white without blemish, as another sign[7],
[7] Moses had dark skin, so putting his hand under his armpit and then taking it out shining white without blemish or disease was a real miraculous sign.
23 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 023
لِنُرِيَكَ مِنۡ ءَايَٰتِنَا ٱلۡكُبۡرَى

ٱذۡهَبۡ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ

25 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 025
قَالَ رَبِّ ٱشۡرَحۡ لِي صَدۡرِي
He said, “My Lord, reassure my heart for me,
26 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 026
وَيَسِّرۡ لِيٓ أَمۡرِي
and ease my task for me,
27 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 027
وَٱحۡلُلۡ عُقۡدَةٗ مِّن لِّسَانِي
and loosen the knot from my tongue[8],
[8] When Moses (ﷺ) was being tested by Pharaoh, he took an amber and put it in his mouth, which hindered his speech when he grew up. So, he asked Allah to help him overcome this hurdle, and Allah answered his prayer.

يَفۡقَهُواْ قَوۡلِي
so that they may understand my speech.

هَٰرُونَ أَخِي
Aaron, my brother.
31 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 031
ٱشۡدُدۡ بِهِۦٓ أَزۡرِي

32 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 032
وَأَشۡرِكۡهُ فِيٓ أَمۡرِي
and let him share my task,
33 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 033
كَيۡ نُسَبِّحَكَ كَثِيرٗا
so that we may glorify You much,
34 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 034
وَنَذۡكُرَكَ كَثِيرًا
and remember You much.
35 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 035
إِنَّكَ كُنتَ بِنَا بَصِيرٗا
For indeed You are All-Watchful over us.”
36 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 036
قَالَ قَدۡ أُوتِيتَ سُؤۡلَكَ يَٰمُوسَىٰ
Allah said, “You are granted your request, O Moses.
37 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 037
وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلَيۡكَ مَرَّةً أُخۡرَىٰٓ
And We had already conferred favor upon you before,
38 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 038
إِذۡ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّكَ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ
when We inspired your mother, saying,
39 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 039
أَنِ ٱقۡذِفِيهِ فِي ٱلتَّابُوتِ فَٱقۡذِفِيهِ فِي ٱلۡيَمِّ فَلۡيُلۡقِهِ ٱلۡيَمُّ بِٱلسَّاحِلِ يَأۡخُذۡهُ عَدُوّٞ لِّي وَعَدُوّٞ لَّهُۥۚ وَأَلۡقَيۡتُ عَلَيۡكَ مَحَبَّةٗ مِّنِّي وَلِتُصۡنَعَ عَلَىٰ عَيۡنِيٓ
‘Put him into the casket, then cast it into the river. The river will carry it to the shore, and he will be picked up by one who is an enemy to Me and enemy to him.’ I bestowed upon you love from Myself[9] so that you would be brought up under My [watchful] Eye.
[9] Allah put his love into the hearts of people, so Pharaoh and his wife accepted to keep him or adopt him as a son when he was still a baby.
40 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 040
إِذۡ تَمۡشِيٓ أُخۡتُكَ فَتَقُولُ هَلۡ أَدُلُّكُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَن يَكۡفُلُهُۥۖ فَرَجَعۡنَٰكَ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّكَ كَيۡ تَقَرَّ عَيۡنُهَا وَلَا تَحۡزَنَۚ وَقَتَلۡتَ نَفۡسٗا فَنَجَّيۡنَٰكَ مِنَ ٱلۡغَمِّ وَفَتَنَّـٰكَ فُتُونٗاۚ فَلَبِثۡتَ سِنِينَ فِيٓ أَهۡلِ مَدۡيَنَ ثُمَّ جِئۡتَ عَلَىٰ قَدَرٖ يَٰمُوسَىٰ
When your sister was going along and said, ‘Shall I show you someone who will nurse him?’ Thus We brought you back to your mother, so that she may rejoice and not grieve[10]. Then you killed a man [by mistake][11], but We saved you from distress, and We put you through several trials. You stayed among the people of Midian for several years, then you came [here] at a destined time, O Moses.
[10] Because Moses had refused all wet-nurses who were brought to nurse him beforehand.
[11] The Coptic person died after Moses struck him.
41 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 041
وَٱصۡطَنَعۡتُكَ لِنَفۡسِي
I have chosen you for Myself.
42 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 042
ٱذۡهَبۡ أَنتَ وَأَخُوكَ بِـَٔايَٰتِي وَلَا تَنِيَا فِي ذِكۡرِي
Go forth, you and your brother, with My signs, and do not slacken in remembering Me.
43 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 043
ٱذۡهَبَآ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ
Go, both of you, to Pharaoh, for he has certainly transgressed all bounds.
44 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 044
فَقُولَا لَهُۥ قَوۡلٗا لَّيِّنٗا لَّعَلَّهُۥ يَتَذَكَّرُ أَوۡ يَخۡشَىٰ
But speak to him gently, so that he may take heed or fear Allah.”
45 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 045
قَالَا رَبَّنَآ إِنَّنَا نَخَافُ أَن يَفۡرُطَ عَلَيۡنَآ أَوۡ أَن يَطۡغَىٰ
They said, “Our Lord, we fear that he may hasten to punish us or transgress all bounds.”
46 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 046
قَالَ لَا تَخَافَآۖ إِنَّنِي مَعَكُمَآ أَسۡمَعُ وَأَرَىٰ
He said, “Do not be afraid; I am with you both, hearing and seeing.
47 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 047
فَأۡتِيَاهُ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولَا رَبِّكَ فَأَرۡسِلۡ مَعَنَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَـٰٓءِيلَ وَلَا تُعَذِّبۡهُمۡۖ قَدۡ جِئۡنَٰكَ بِـَٔايَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّكَۖ وَٱلسَّلَٰمُ عَلَىٰ مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلۡهُدَىٰٓ
So go to him and say, ‘We are both messengers from your Lord, so let the Children of Israel go with us and do not oppress them. We have come to you with a sign from your Lord, and peace[12] be upon he who follows the true guidance.
[12] i.e., safety from the punishment of Allah.
48 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 048
إِنَّا قَدۡ أُوحِيَ إِلَيۡنَآ أَنَّ ٱلۡعَذَابَ عَلَىٰ مَن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
It has been revealed to us that the punishment awaits those who reject [the truth] and turn away.’”

Pharaoh said, “So who is the Lord of you two, O Moses?”
50 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 050
قَالَ رَبُّنَا ٱلَّذِيٓ أَعۡطَىٰ كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ خَلۡقَهُۥ ثُمَّ هَدَىٰ
He said, “Our Lord is the One Who gave everything its form and then guided it.”
51 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 051
قَالَ فَمَا بَالُ ٱلۡقُرُونِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ
Pharaoh said, “Then what about the former [disbelieving] nations?”
52 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 052

53 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 053
ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مَهۡدٗا وَسَلَكَ لَكُمۡ فِيهَا سُبُلٗا وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ فَأَخۡرَجۡنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزۡوَٰجٗا مِّن نَّبَاتٖ شَتَّىٰ
It is He Who spread out the earth for you and made therein pathways for you, and sent down rain from the sky; and We brought forth thereby various types of plants.
54 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 054
كُلُواْ وَٱرۡعَوۡاْ أَنۡعَٰمَكُمۡۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّأُوْلِي ٱلنُّهَىٰ
Eat and graze your livestock. Indeed, there are signs in this for people of sound intellect.
55 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 055
۞مِنۡهَا خَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمۡ وَمِنۡهَا نُخۡرِجُكُمۡ تَارَةً أُخۡرَىٰ
From this [earth] We created you, and to it We will return you, and from it We will raise you once again.
56 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 056
وَلَقَدۡ أَرَيۡنَٰهُ ءَايَٰتِنَا كُلَّهَا فَكَذَّبَ وَأَبَىٰ
We showed Pharaoh all Our signs, but he rejected them and refused to believe.
57 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 057
قَالَ أَجِئۡتَنَا لِتُخۡرِجَنَا مِنۡ أَرۡضِنَا بِسِحۡرِكَ يَٰمُوسَىٰ
He said, “Have you come to drive us out of our land with your magic, O Moses?
58 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 058
فَلَنَأۡتِيَنَّكَ بِسِحۡرٖ مِّثۡلِهِۦ فَٱجۡعَلۡ بَيۡنَنَا وَبَيۡنَكَ مَوۡعِدٗا لَّا نُخۡلِفُهُۥ نَحۡنُ وَلَآ أَنتَ مَكَانٗا سُوٗى
We will surely bring you similar magic. So appoint a day between us that neither you nor we will fail to keep, in a convenient place[13].”
[13] i.e., a midway place between us.
59 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 059
قَالَ مَوۡعِدُكُمۡ يَوۡمُ ٱلزِّينَةِ وَأَن يُحۡشَرَ ٱلنَّاسُ ضُحٗى
Moses said, “Your appointment is the festival day[14]; let the people be gathered at forenoon[15].”
[14] So that more people could witness the event.
[15] So that people could see Allah’s signs clearly.
60 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 060
فَتَوَلَّىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنُ فَجَمَعَ كَيۡدَهُۥ ثُمَّ أَتَىٰ
So Pharaoh went away and put together his scheme, then came forth.
61 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 061
قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰ وَيۡلَكُمۡ لَا تَفۡتَرُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبٗا فَيُسۡحِتَكُم بِعَذَابٖۖ وَقَدۡ خَابَ مَنِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ
Moses said to them, “Woe to you, do not fabricate lies against Allah[16], lest He exterminate you with a punishment. Those who fabricate lies are bound to fail.”
[16] By considering Allah’s miracles as magic.
62 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 062
فَتَنَٰزَعُوٓاْ أَمۡرَهُم بَيۡنَهُمۡ وَأَسَرُّواْ ٱلنَّجۡوَىٰ
Then they disputed the matter among themselves and kept their talk private.
63 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 063
قَالُوٓاْ إِنۡ هَٰذَٰنِ لَسَٰحِرَٰنِ يُرِيدَانِ أَن يُخۡرِجَاكُم مِّنۡ أَرۡضِكُم بِسِحۡرِهِمَا وَيَذۡهَبَا بِطَرِيقَتِكُمُ ٱلۡمُثۡلَىٰ
They said, “These two are merely magicians who want to drive you out of your land with their magic and destroy your exemplary way of life.
64 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 064
فَأَجۡمِعُواْ كَيۡدَكُمۡ ثُمَّ ٱئۡتُواْ صَفّٗاۚ وَقَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ مَنِ ٱسۡتَعۡلَىٰ
So gather your scheme, then line up in a row. Whoever prevails today is indeed the victor.”
65 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 065
قَالُواْ يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِمَّآ أَن تُلۡقِيَ وَإِمَّآ أَن نَّكُونَ أَوَّلَ مَنۡ أَلۡقَىٰ
They said, “O Moses, either you throw or shall we be the first to throw!”
66 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 066
قَالَ بَلۡ أَلۡقُواْۖ فَإِذَا حِبَالُهُمۡ وَعِصِيُّهُمۡ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيۡهِ مِن سِحۡرِهِمۡ أَنَّهَا تَسۡعَىٰ
He said, “No; you throw first.” Suddenly their ropes and staffs appeared to him, owing to their magic, as if they were slithering.
67 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 067
فَأَوۡجَسَ فِي نَفۡسِهِۦ خِيفَةٗ مُّوسَىٰ

We said, “Do not be afraid; it is you who will prevail.
69 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 069
وَأَلۡقِ مَا فِي يَمِينِكَ تَلۡقَفۡ مَا صَنَعُوٓاْۖ إِنَّمَا صَنَعُواْ كَيۡدُ سَٰحِرٖۖ وَلَا يُفۡلِحُ ٱلسَّاحِرُ حَيۡثُ أَتَىٰ
Throw what is in your right hand; it will swallow up what they have contrived. They have only contrived a magic trick, and the magician will never prosper, wherever he goes.”
70 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 070
فَأُلۡقِيَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سُجَّدٗا قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ هَٰرُونَ وَمُوسَىٰ
So the magicians fell down in prostration[17], saying, “We believe in the Lord of Aaron and Moses.”
[17] They realized that the miracles of Moses were not impressions of magic, but absolute realities.
71 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 071
قَالَ ءَامَنتُمۡ لَهُۥ قَبۡلَ أَنۡ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحۡرَۖ فَلَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيۡدِيَكُمۡ وَأَرۡجُلَكُم مِّنۡ خِلَٰفٖ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمۡ فِي جُذُوعِ ٱلنَّخۡلِ وَلَتَعۡلَمُنَّ أَيُّنَآ أَشَدُّ عَذَابٗا وَأَبۡقَىٰ
Pharaoh said, “How dare you believe in him before I give you permission! He must be your master who taught you magic! I will surely cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you on the trunks of palm trees; you will surely know whose punishment is more severe and more lasting!”
72 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 072
قَالُواْ لَن نُّؤۡثِرَكَ عَلَىٰ مَا جَآءَنَا مِنَ ٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ وَٱلَّذِي فَطَرَنَاۖ فَٱقۡضِ مَآ أَنتَ قَاضٍۖ إِنَّمَا تَقۡضِي هَٰذِهِ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَآ
They said, “We will never prefer you over the clear signs that have come to us, or over the One Who created us[18]. So decide whatever you will. You can only make a decision about the life of this world.
[18] It can also be interpreted as an oath, i.e., “By the One Who created us, we will never prefer you over...”.
73 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 073
إِنَّآ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّنَا لِيَغۡفِرَ لَنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَا وَمَآ أَكۡرَهۡتَنَا عَلَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلسِّحۡرِۗ وَٱللَّهُ خَيۡرٞ وَأَبۡقَىٰٓ
We surely believe in our Lord so that He may forgive us our sins and the magic that you have compelled us to practice, for Allah is best [in reward] and more lasting [in punishment].”
74 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 074
إِنَّهُۥ مَن يَأۡتِ رَبَّهُۥ مُجۡرِمٗا فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ جَهَنَّمَ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحۡيَىٰ
Whoever comes to his Lord as an evildoer, for him is Hell; he will neither die therein nor live[19].
[19] He will neither die to relax from punishment, nor live a pleasant life.
75 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 075
وَمَن يَأۡتِهِۦ مُؤۡمِنٗا قَدۡ عَمِلَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَٰتِ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ ٱلدَّرَجَٰتُ ٱلۡعُلَىٰ
But whoever comes to Him as a believer, having done righteous deeds, it is they who will have the highest ranks:
76 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 076
جَنَّـٰتُ عَدۡنٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۚ وَذَٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
Gardens of Eternity, under which rivers flow, abiding therein forever. Such is the reward of those who purify themselves[20].
[20] From disbelief and sins.
77 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 077
وَلَقَدۡ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنۡ أَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِي فَٱضۡرِبۡ لَهُمۡ طَرِيقٗا فِي ٱلۡبَحۡرِ يَبَسٗا لَّا تَخَٰفُ دَرَكٗا وَلَا تَخۡشَىٰ

So Moses returned to his people, angry and sorrowful. He said, “O my people, did your Lord not promise you a good promise[26]? Was my absence too long for you, or did you want the wrath from your Lord to befall you, so you broke your promise to me[27]?”

He said, “I saw something they did not see, so I took a handful [of dust] from the hoof-print of the horse of the messenger [Gabriel] and cast it [into the fire][30]. This is what my mind prompted me.”
[30] While Moses and the Children of Israel were crossing the sea, the Sāmiri saw Gabriel on a horse leading the way, so he took a handful of dust from the hoof-prints of his horse and later threw it at the calf that was made out of the melted ornaments so it started making a bellowing sound.
97 - Taha (Ta-Ha) - 097
قَالَ فَٱذۡهَبۡ فَإِنَّ لَكَ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ أَن تَقُولَ لَا مِسَاسَۖ وَإِنَّ لَكَ مَوۡعِدٗا لَّن تُخۡلَفَهُۥۖ وَٱنظُرۡ إِلَىٰٓ إِلَٰهِكَ ٱلَّذِي ظَلۡتَ عَلَيۡهِ عَاكِفٗاۖ لَّنُحَرِّقَنَّهُۥ ثُمَّ لَنَنسِفَنَّهُۥ فِي ٱلۡيَمِّ نَسۡفًا
Moses said, “Begone then! Your [punishment] in this life will be to say, ‘Do not touch me,’[31] but there awaits you an appointed time for your reckoning that you cannot escape[32]. Now look at your so-called god which you kept worshiping; We will surely burn it and then scatter it in the sea.
