Quran 20, Ta-Ha (Ta-Ha)

20:9Hath there come unto thee the story of Moses?

وَهَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَى

20:10When he saw a fire and said unto his folk: Lo! Wait! I see a fire afar off. Peradventure I may bring you a brand therefrom or may find guidance at the fire.

إِذْ رَأَى نَارًا فَقَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ امْكُثُوا إِنِّي آنَسْتُ نَارًا لَعَلِّي آتِيكُمْ مِنْهَا بِقَبَسٍ أَوْ أَجِدُ عَلَى النَّارِ هُدًى

20:11And when he reached it, he was called by name: O Moses!

فَلَمَّا أَتَاهَا نُودِيَ يَا مُوسَى

20:12Lo! I, even I, am thy Lord, So take off thy shoes, for lo! thou art in the holy valley of Tuwa.

إِنِّي أَنَا رَبُّكَ فَاخْلَعْ نَعْلَيْكَ إِنَّكَ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى

20:13And I have chosen thee, so hearken unto that which is inspired.

وَأَنَا اخْتَرْتُكَ فَاسْتَمِعْ لِمَا يُوحَى

20:14Lo! I, even I, am Allah, There is no Allah save Me. So serve Me and establish worship for My remembrance.

إِنَّنِي أَنَا اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنَا فَاعْبُدْنِي وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ لِذِكْرِي

20:15Lo! the Hour is surely coming. But I will to keep it hidden, that every soul may be rewarded for that which it striveth (to achieve).

إِنَّ السَّاعَةَ آتِيَةٌ أَكَادُ أُخْفِيهَا لِتُجْزَى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا تَسْعَى

20:16Therefor, let not him turn thee aside from (the thought of) it who believeth not therein but followeth his own desire, lest thou perish.

فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكَ عَنْهَا مَنْ لَا يُؤْمِنُ بِهَا وَاتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ فَتَرْدَى

20:17And what is that in thy right hand, O Moses?

وَمَا تِلْكَ بِيَمِينِكَ يَا مُوسَى

20:18He said: This is my staff whereon I lean, and wherewith I bear down branches for my sheep, and wherein I find other uses.

قَالَ هِيَ عَصَايَ أَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَيْهَا وَأَهُشُّ بِهَا عَلَى غَنَمِي وَلِيَ فِيهَا مَآرِبُ أُخْرَى

20:19He said: Cast it down, O Moses!

قَالَ أَلْقِهَا يَا مُوسَى

20:20So he cast it down, and lo! it was a serpent, gliding.

فَأَلْقَاهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ حَيَّةٌ تَسْعَى

20:21He said: Grasp it and fear not. We shall return it to its former state.

قَالَ خُذْهَا وَلَا تَخَفْ سَنُعِيدُهَا سِيرَتَهَا الْأُولَى

20:22And thrust thy hand within thine armpit, it will come forth white without hurt. (That will be) another token.

وَاضْمُمْ يَدَكَ إِلَى جَنَاحِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَاءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوءٍ آيَةً أُخْرَى

20:23That We may show thee (some) of Our greater portents,

لِنُرِيَكَ مِنْ آيَاتِنَا الْكُبْرَى

20:24Go thou unto Pharaoh! Lo! he hath transgressed (the bounds).

اذْهَبْ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَى
