مَآ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِتَشۡقَىٰٓ

We have not sent down to you the Qur'an that you be distressed

إِلَّا تَذۡكِرَةٗ لِّمَن يَخۡشَىٰ

But only as a reminder for those who fear [Allah]

تَنزِيلٗا مِّمَّنۡ خَلَقَ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ ٱلۡعُلَى

A revelation from He who created the earth and highest heavens

ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ عَلَى ٱلۡعَرۡشِ ٱسۡتَوَىٰ

The Most Merciful [who is] above the Throne established

لَهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا وَمَا تَحۡتَ ٱلثَّرَىٰ

To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth and what is between them and what is under the soil

وَإِن تَجۡهَرۡ بِٱلۡقَوۡلِ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَعۡلَمُ ٱلسِّرَّ وَأَخۡفَى

And if you speak aloud - then indeed, He knows the secret and what is [even] more hidden

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ لَهُ ٱلۡأَسۡمَآءُ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ

Allah - there is no deity except Him. To Him belong the best names

وَهَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ

And has the story of Moses reached you

إِذۡ رَءَا نَارٗا فَقَالَ لِأَهۡلِهِ ٱمۡكُثُوٓاْ إِنِّيٓ ءَانَسۡتُ نَارٗا لَّعَلِّيٓ ءَاتِيكُم مِّنۡهَا بِقَبَسٍ أَوۡ أَجِدُ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ هُدٗى

When he saw a fire and said to his family, "Stay here; indeed, I have perceived a fire; perhaps I can bring you a torch or find at the fire some guidance

فَلَمَّآ أَتَىٰهَا نُودِيَ يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ

And when he came to it, he was called, "O Moses

إِنِّيٓ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكَ فَٱخۡلَعۡ نَعۡلَيۡكَ إِنَّكَ بِٱلۡوَادِ ٱلۡمُقَدَّسِ طُوٗى

Indeed, I am your Lord, so remove your sandals. Indeed, you are in the sacred valley of Tuwa

وَأَنَا ٱخۡتَرۡتُكَ فَٱسۡتَمِعۡ لِمَا يُوحَىٰٓ

And I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed [to you]

إِنَّنِيٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱعۡبُدۡنِي وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ لِذِكۡرِيٓ

Indeed, I am Allah. There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance

إِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٌ أَكَادُ أُخۡفِيهَا لِتُجۡزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفۡسِۭ بِمَا تَسۡعَىٰ

Indeed, the Hour is coming - I almost conceal it - so that every soul may be recompensed according to that for which it strives

فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكَ عَنۡهَا مَن لَّا يُؤۡمِنُ بِهَا وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ فَتَرۡدَىٰ

So do not let one avert you from it who does not believe in it and follows his desire, for you [then] would perish

وَمَا تِلۡكَ بِيَمِينِكَ يَٰمُوسَىٰ

And what is that in your right hand, O Moses

قَالَ هِيَ عَصَايَ أَتَوَكَّؤُاْ عَلَيۡهَا وَأَهُشُّ بِهَا عَلَىٰ غَنَمِي وَلِيَ فِيهَا مَـَٔارِبُ أُخۡرَىٰ

He said, "It is my staff; I lean upon it, and I bring down leaves for my sheep and I have therein other uses

قَالَ أَلۡقِهَا يَٰمُوسَىٰ

[Allah] said, "Throw it down, O Moses

فَأَلۡقَىٰهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ حَيَّةٞ تَسۡعَىٰ

So he threw it down, and thereupon it was a snake, moving swiftly

قَالَ خُذۡهَا وَلَا تَخَفۡۖ سَنُعِيدُهَا سِيرَتَهَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ

[Allah] said, "Seize it and fear not; We will return it to its former condition

وَٱضۡمُمۡ يَدَكَ إِلَىٰ جَنَاحِكَ تَخۡرُجۡ بَيۡضَآءَ مِنۡ غَيۡرِ سُوٓءٍ ءَايَةً أُخۡرَىٰ

And draw in your hand to your side; it will come out white without disease - another sign

لِنُرِيَكَ مِنۡ ءَايَٰتِنَا ٱلۡكُبۡرَى

That We may show you [some] of Our greater signs

ٱذۡهَبۡ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ

Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱشۡرَحۡ لِي صَدۡرِي

[Moses] said, "My Lord, expand for me my breast [with assurance]

وَيَسِّرۡ لِيٓ أَمۡرِي

And ease for me my task

وَٱحۡلُلۡ عُقۡدَةٗ مِّن لِّسَانِي

And untie the knot from my tongue

يَفۡقَهُواْ قَوۡلِي

That they may understand my speech

وَٱجۡعَل لِّي وَزِيرٗا مِّنۡ أَهۡلِي

And appoint for me a minister from my family

هَٰرُونَ أَخِي

Aaron, my brother
