English - Yusuf Ali

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

A revelation from He who created the earth and highest heavens,

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.

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

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."

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

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

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

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

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

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

Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed."

And ease for me my task

That they may understand my speech.

Aaron, my brother.

And let him share my task

And remember You much.

[Allah] said, "You have been granted your request, O Moses.

When We inspired to your mother what We inspired,

[And We favored you] when your sister went and said, 'Shall I direct you to someone who will be responsible for him?' So We restored you to your mother that she might be content and not grieve. And you killed someone, but We saved you from retaliation and tried you with a [severe] trial. And you remained [some] years among the people of Madyan. Then you came [here] at the decreed time, O Moses.

Go, you and your brother, with My signs and do not slacken in My remembrance.

And speak to him with gentle speech that perhaps he may be reminded or fear [Allah]."

[Allah] said, "Fear not. Indeed, I am with you both; I hear and I see.

Indeed, it has been revealed to us that the punishment will be upon whoever denies and turns away.' "

He said, "Our Lord is He who gave each thing its form and then guided [it]."

[Moses] said, "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a record. My Lord neither errs nor forgets."

Eat [therefrom] and pasture your livestock. Indeed, in that are signs for those of intelligence.

And We certainly showed Pharaoh Our signs - all of them - but he denied and refused.

Then we will surely bring you magic like it, so make between us and you an appointment, which we will not fail to keep and neither will you, in a place assigned."

So Pharaoh went away, put together his plan, and then came [to Moses].

So they disputed over their affair among themselves and concealed their private conversation.

So resolve upon your plan and then come [forward] in line. And he has succeeded today who overcomes."

He said, "Rather, you throw." And suddenly their ropes and staffs seemed to him from their magic that they were moving [like snakes].

Allah said, "Fear not. Indeed, it is you who are superior.

So the magicians fell down in prostration. They said, "We have believed in the Lord of Aaron and Moses."

They said, "Never will we prefer you over what has come to us of clear proofs and [over] He who created us. So decree whatever you are to decree. You can only decree for this worldly life.

Indeed, whoever comes to his Lord as a criminal - indeed, for him is Hell; he will neither die therein nor live.

Gardens of perpetual residence beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. And that is the reward of one who purifies himself.

So Pharaoh pursued them with his soldiers, and there covered them from the sea that which covered them,

O Children of Israel, We delivered you from your enemy, and We made an appointment with you at the right side of the mount, and We sent down to you manna and quails,

But indeed, I am the Perpetual Forgiver of whoever repents and believes and does righteousness and then continues in guidance.

He said, "They are close upon my tracks, and I hastened to You, my Lord, that You be pleased."

So Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved. He said, "O my people, did your Lord not make you a good promise? Then, was the time [of its fulfillment] too long for you, or did you wish that wrath from your Lord descend upon you, so you broke your promise [of obedience] to me?"

And he extracted for them [the statue of] a calf which had a lowing sound, and they said, "This is your god and the god of Moses, but he forgot."

And Aaron had already told them before [the return of Moses], "O my people, you are only being tested by it, and indeed, your Lord is the Most Merciful, so follow me and obey my order."

[Moses] said, "O Aaron, what prevented you, when you saw them going astray,

[Aaron] said, "O son of my mother, do not seize [me] by my beard or by my head. Indeed, I feared that you would say, 'You caused division among the Children of Israel, and you did not observe [or await] my word.' "

He said, "I saw what they did not see, so I took a handful [of dust] from the track of the messenger and threw it, and thus did my soul entice me."

Your god is only Allah, except for whom there is no deity. He has encompassed all things in knowledge."

Whoever turns away from it - then indeed, he will bear on the Day of Resurrection a burden,

The Day the Horn will be blown. And We will gather the criminals, that Day, blue-eyed.

We are most knowing of what they say when the best of them in manner will say, "You remained not but one day."

And He will leave the earth a level plain;

That Day, everyone will follow [the call of] the Caller [with] no deviation therefrom, and [all] voices will be stilled before the Most Merciful, so you will not hear except a whisper [of footsteps].

Allah knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, but they do not encompass it in knowledge.

But he who does of righteous deeds while he is a believer - he will neither fear injustice nor deprivation.

So high [above all] is Allah, the Sovereign, the Truth. And, [O Muhammad], do not hasten with [recitation of] the Qur'an before its revelation is completed to you, and say, "My Lord, increase me in knowledge."

And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except Iblees; he refused.

Indeed, it is [promised] for you not to be hungry therein or be unclothed.

Then Satan whispered to him; he said, "O Adam, shall I direct you to the tree of eternity and possession that will not deteriorate?"

Then his Lord chose him and turned to him in forgiveness and guided [him].

And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have a depressed life, and We will gather him on the Day of Resurrection blind."

[Allah] will say, "Thus did Our signs come to you, and you forgot them; and thus will you this Day be forgotten."

Then, has it not become clear to them how many generations We destroyed before them as they walk among their dwellings? Indeed in that are signs for those of intelligence.

So be patient over what they say and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting; and during periods of the night [exalt Him] and at the ends of the day, that you may be satisfied.

And enjoin prayer upon your family [and people] and be steadfast therein. We ask you not for provision; We provide for you, and the [best] outcome is for [those of] righteousness.

And if We had destroyed them with a punishment before him, they would have said, "Our Lord, why did You not send to us a messenger so we could have followed Your verses before we were humiliated and disgraced?"
