  <aya id="59" text="[Mûsa (Moses)] said: &amp;quot;Your appointed meeting is the day of the festival, and let the people assemble when the sun has risen (forenoon).&amp;quot;" />

  <aya id="61" text="Mûsa (Moses) said to them: &amp;quot;Woe unto you! Invent not a lie against Allâh, lest He should destroy you completely by a torment. And surely, he who invents a lie (against Allâh) will fail miserably.&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="62" text="Then they debated with one another what they must do, and they kept their talk secret." />
  <aya id="63" text="They said: &amp;quot;Verily! These are two magicians. Their object is to drive you out from your land with magic, and overcome your chiefs and nobles." />
  <aya id="64" text="&amp;quot;So devise your plot, and then assemble in line. And whoever overcomes this day will be indeed successful.&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="65" text="They said:&amp;quot;O Mûsa (Moses)! Either you throw first or we be the first to throw?&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="66" text="[Mûsa (Moses)] said: &amp;quot;Nay, throw you (first)!&amp;quot; Then behold, their ropes and their sticks, by their magic, appeared to him as though they moved fast." />

  <aya id="70" text="So the magicians fell down prostrate. They said: &amp;quot;We believe in the Lord of Hârûn (Aaron) and Mûsa (Moses).&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="71" text="[Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: &amp;quot;Believe you in him [Mûsa (Moses)] before I give you permission? Verily! He is your chief who taught you magic.

  <aya id="72" text="They said: &amp;quot;We prefer you not over the clear signs that have come to us, and to Him (Allâh) Who created us. So decree whatever you desire to decree, for you can only decree (regarding) this life of the world." />
  <aya id="73" text="&amp;quot;Verily! We have believed in our Lord, that He may forgive us our faults, and the magic to which you did compel us.

  <aya id="74" text="Verily! Whoever comes to his Lord as a &lt;I&gt;Mujrim &lt;/I&gt;(criminal, polytheist, disbeliever in the Oneness of Allâh and His Messengers, sinner, etc.), then surely, for him is Hell, therein he will neither die nor live." />
  <aya id="75" text="But whoever comes to Him (Allâh) as a believer (in the Oneness of Allâh, etc.), and has done righteous good deeds, for such are the high ranks (in the Hereafter)," />

  <aya id="77" text="And indeed We inspired Mûsa (Moses) (saying): &amp;quot;Travel by night with &lt;I&gt;Ibâdi &lt;/I&gt;(My slaves) and strike a dry path for them in the sea, fearing neither to be overtaken [by Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] nor being afraid (of drowning in the sea).&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="78" text="Then Fir'aun (Pharaoh) pursued them with his hosts, but the sea-water completely overwhelmed them and covered them up." />
  <aya id="79" text="And Fir'aun (Pharaoh) led his people astray, and he did not guide them." />
  <aya id="80" text="O Children of Israel! We delivered you from your enemy, and We made a covenant with you on the right side of the Mount, and We sent down to you &lt;I&gt;Al-Manna&lt;/I&gt; and quails," />
  <aya id="81" text="(Saying) eat of the &lt;I&gt;Taiyibât &lt;/I&gt;(good lawful things) wherewith We have provided you, and commit no oppression therein, lest My Anger should justly descend on you. And he on whom My Anger descends, he is indeed perished." />
  <aya id="82" text="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)." />
  <aya id="83" text="&amp;quot;And what made you hasten from your people, O Mûsa (Moses)?&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="84" text="He said: &amp;quot;They are close on my footsteps, and I hastened to You, O my Lord, that You might be pleased.&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="85" text="(Allâh) said: &amp;quot;Verily! We have tried your people in your absence, and As-Samiri has led them astray.&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="86" text="Then Mûsa (Moses) returned to his people in a state of anger and sorrow. He said: &amp;quot;O my people! Did not your Lord promise you a fair promise? Did then the promise seem to you long in coming? Or did you desire that wrath should descend from your Lord on you, so you broke your promise to me (i.e disbelieving in Allâh and worshipping the calf)?&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="87" text="They said: &amp;quot;We broke not the promise to you, of our own will, but we were made to carry the weight of the ornaments of the [Fir'aun's (Pharaoh)] people, then we cast them (into the fire), and that was what As-Samiri suggested.&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="88" text="Then he took out (of the fire) for them a statue of a calf which seemed to low. They said: &amp;quot;This is your &lt;I&gt;ilâh&lt;/I&gt; (god), and the &lt;I&gt;ilâh&lt;/I&gt; (god) of Mûsa (Moses), but [Mûsa (Moses)] has forgotten (his god).'&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="89" text="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?" />
  <aya id="90" text="And Hârûn (Aaron) indeed had said to them beforehand: &amp;quot;O my people! You are being tried in this, and verily, your Lord is (Allâh) the Most Beneficent, so follow me and obey my order.&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="91" text="They said: &amp;quot;We will not stop worshipping it (i.e. the calf), until Mûsa (Moses) returns to us.&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="92" text="[Mûsa (Moses)] said: &amp;quot;O Hârûn (Aaron)! What stopped you when you saw them going astray;" />
  <aya id="93" text="&amp;quot;That you followed me not (according to my advice to you)? Have you then disobeyed my order?&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="94" text="He [Hârûn (Aaron)] said: &amp;quot;O son of my mother! Seize (me) not by my beard, nor by my head! Verily, I feared lest you should say: 'You have caused a division among the Children of Israel, and you have not respected my word!' &amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="95" text="[Mûsa (Moses)] said: &amp;quot;And what is the matter with you. O Samiri? (i.e. why did you do so?)&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="96" text="(Samiri) said: &amp;quot;I saw what they saw not, so I took a handful (of dust) from the hoof print of the messenger [Jibrael's (Gabriel) horse] and threw it [into the fire in which were put the ornaments of the Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people, or into the calf]. Thus my inner-self suggested to me.&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="97" text="Mûsa (Moses) said: &amp;quot;Then go away!

And look at your &lt;I&gt;ilâh&lt;/I&gt; (god), to which you have been devoted. We will certainly burn it, and scatter its particles in the sea.&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="98" text="Your &lt;I&gt;Ilâh &lt;/I&gt;(God) is only Allâh, the One (&lt;I&gt;Lâ ilâha illa Huwa&lt;/I&gt;) (none has the right to be worshipped but He). He has full knowledge of all things." />
  <aya id="99" text="Thus We relate to you (O Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;) some information of what happened before. And indeed We have given you from Us a Reminder (this Qur'ân)." />

  <aya id="102" text="The Day when the Trumpet will be blown (the second blowing): that Day, We shall gather the &lt;I&gt;Mujrimûn&lt;/I&gt; (criminals, polytheists, sinners, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh, etc.) &lt;I&gt;Zurqa&lt;/I&gt;: (blue or blind eyed with black faces)." />
  <aya id="103" text="In whispers will they speak to each other (saying): &amp;quot;You stayed not longer than ten (days).&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="104" text="We know very well what they will say, when the best among them in knowledge and wisdom will say: &amp;quot;You stayed no longer than a day!&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="105" text="And they ask you concerning the mountains, say; &amp;quot;My Lord will blast them and scatter them as particles of dust." />
  <aya id="106" text="&amp;quot;Then He shall leave it as a level smooth plain." />
  <aya id="107" text="&amp;quot;You will see therein nothing crooked or curved.&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="108" text="On that Day mankind will follow strictly (the voice of) Allâh's caller, no crookedness (that is without going to the right or left of that voice) will they show him (Allâh's caller). And all voices will be humbled for the Most Beneficent (Allâh), and nothing shall you hear but the low voice of their footsteps." />
  <aya id="109" text="On that day no intercession shall avail, except the one for whom the Most Beneficent (Allâh) has given permission and whose word is acceptable to Him." />
  <aya id="110" text="He (Allâh) knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them (in the Hereafter), and they will never compass anything of His Knowledge." />

  <aya id="112" text="And he who works deeds of righteousness, while he is a believer (in Islâmic Monotheism) then he will have no fear of injustice, nor of any curtailment (of his reward)." />
  <aya id="113" text="And thus We have sent it down as a Qur'ân in Arabic, and have explained therein in detail the warnings, in order that they may fear Allâh, or that it may cause them to have a lesson from it (or to have the honour for believing and acting on its teachings)." />
  <aya id="114" text="Then High above all be Allâh, the True King. And be not in haste (O Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;) with the Qur'ân before its revelation is completed to you, and say: &amp;quot;My Lord! Increase me in knowledge.&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="115" text="And indeed We made a covenant with Adam before, but he forgot, and We found on his part no firm will-power." />
  <aya id="116" text="And (remember) when We said to the angels: &amp;quot;Prostrate yourselves to Adam.&amp;quot; They prostrated (all) except &lt;I&gt;Iblîs &lt;/I&gt;(Satan)&lt;I&gt;, &lt;/I&gt;who refused." />
  <aya id="117" text="Then We said: &amp;quot;O Adam! Verily, this is an enemy to you and to your wife. So let him not get you both out of Paradise, so that you be distressed in misery." />
  <aya id="118" text="Verily, you have (a promise from Us) that you will never be hungry therein nor naked." />
  <aya id="119" text="And you (will) suffer not from thirst therein nor from the sun's heat." />
  <aya id="120" text="Then &lt;I&gt;Shaitân&lt;/I&gt; (Satan) whispered to him, saying : &amp;quot;O Adam! Shall I lead you to the Tree of Eternity and to a kingdom that will never waste away?&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="121" text="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. Thus did Adam disobey his Lord, so he went astray." />
  <aya id="122" text="Then his Lord chose him, and turned to him with forgiveness, and gave him guidance." />
  <aya id="123" text="(Allâh) said:&amp;quot;Get you down (from the Paradise to the earth), both of you, together, some of you are an enemy to some others. Then if there comes to you guidance from Me, then whoever follows My Guidance shall neither go astray, nor fall into distress and misery." />
  <aya id="124" text="&amp;quot;But whosoever turns away from My Reminder (i.e. neither believes in this Qur'ân nor acts on its orders, etc.) verily, for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection.&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="125" text="He will say:&amp;quot;O my Lord! Why have you raised me up blind, while I had sight (before).&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="126" text="(Allâh) will say: &amp;quot;Like this, Our &lt;I&gt;Ayât &lt;/I&gt;(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), and so this Day, you will be neglected (in the Hell-fire, away from Allâh's Mercy).&amp;quot;" />
  <aya id="127" text="And thus do We requite him who transgresses beyond bounds [i.e. commits the great sins and disobeys his Lord (Allâh) and believes not in His Messengers, and His revealed Books, like this Qur'ân, etc.], and believes not in the &lt;I&gt;Ayât &lt;/I&gt;(proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of his Lord, and the torment of the Hereafter is far more severe and more lasting." />
  <aya id="128" text="Is it not a guidance for them (to know) how many generations We have destroyed before them, in whose dwellings they walk? Verily, in this are signs indeed for men of understanding." />
  <aya id="129" text="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)." />
  <aya id="130" text="So bear patiently (O Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;) what they say, and glorify the praises of your Lord before the rising of the sun, and before its setting, 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 Allâh shall give you." />
  <aya id="131" text="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 Allâh), the splendour of the life of this world that We may test them thereby. But the provision (good reward in the Hereafter) of your Lord is better and more lasting." />
  <aya id="132" text="And enjoin &lt;I&gt;As-Salât&lt;/I&gt; (the prayer) on your family, and be patient in offering them [i.e. the &lt;I&gt;Salât&lt;/I&gt; (prayers)]. We ask not of you a provision (i.e. to give Us something: money, etc.); We provide for you. And the good end (i.e. Paradise) is for the &lt;I&gt;Muttaqûn&lt;/I&gt; (pious - see V.2:2)." />
  <aya id="133" text="They say: &amp;quot;Why does he not bring us a sign (proof) from his Lord?&amp;quot; Has there not come to them the proof of that which is (written) in the former papers [Scriptures, i.e. the Taurât (Torah), and the Injeel (Gospel), etc. about the coming of the Prophet Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt; ]." />
  <aya id="134" text="And if We had destroyed them with a torment before this (i.e. Messenger Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt; and the Qur'ân), they would surely have said: &amp;quot;Our Lord!
