[Al-Khiḍr] said, "Did I not tell you that with me you would never be able to have patience?"Saheeh International

[Moses] said, "If I should ask you about anything after this, then do not keep me as a companion. You have obtained from me an excuse."Saheeh International

So they set out, until when they came to the people of a town, they asked its people for food, but they refused to offer them hospitality. And they found therein a wall about to collapse, so he [i.e., al-Khiḍr] restored it. [Moses] said, "If you wished, you could have taken for it a payment."Saheeh International

[Al-Khiḍr] said, "This is parting between me and you. I will inform you of the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience.Saheeh International

As for the ship, it belonged to poor people working at sea. So I intended to cause defect in it as there was after them a king who seized every [good] ship by force.Saheeh International

And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief.Saheeh International

So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy.Saheeh International

And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was beneath it a treasure for them, and their father had been righteous. So your Lord intended that they reach maturity and extract their treasure, as a mercy from your Lord. And I did it not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience."Saheeh International

And they ask you, [O Muḥammad], about Dhul-Qarnayn. Say, "I will recite to you about him a report."Saheeh International

Indeed, We established him upon the earth, and We gave him from everything a way [i.e., means].Saheeh International

So he followed a waySaheeh International

Until, when he reached the setting of the sun [i.e., the west], he found it [as if] setting in a body of dark water, and he found near it a people. We [i.e., Allāh] said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, either you punish [them] or else adopt among them [a way of] goodness."Saheeh International

He said, "As for one who wrongs, we will punish him. Then he will be returned to his Lord, and He will punish him with a terrible punishment [i.e., Hellfire].Saheeh International

But as for one who believes and does righteousness, he will have a reward of the best [i.e., Paradise], and we [i.e., Dhul-Qarnayn] will speak to him from our command with ease."Saheeh International

Then he followed a waySaheeh International

Until, when he came to the rising of the sun [i.e., the east], he found it rising on a people for whom We had not made against it any shield.Saheeh International

Thus. And We had encompassed [all] that he had in knowledge.Saheeh International

Then he followed a way.Saheeh International

Until, when he reached [a pass] between two mountains, he found beside them a people who could hardly understand [his] speech.Saheeh International

They said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, indeed Gog and Magog are [great] corrupters in the land. So may we assign for you an expenditure that you might make between us and them a barrier?"Saheeh International

He said, "That in which my Lord has established me is better [than what you offer], but assist me with strength [i.e., manpower]; I will make between you and them a dam.Saheeh International

Bring me bars of iron" - until, when he had leveled [them] between the two mountain walls, he said, "Blow [with bellows]," until when he had made it [like] fire, he said, "Bring me, that I may pour over it molten copper."Saheeh International

So they [i.e., Gog and Magog] were unable to pass over it, nor were they able [to effect] in it any penetration.Saheeh International

[Dhul-Qarnayn] said, "This is a mercy from my Lord; but when the promise of my Lord comes [i.e., approaches], He will make it level, and ever is the promise of my Lord true."Saheeh International

And We will leave them that day surging over each other, and [then] the Horn will be blown, and We will assemble them in [one] assembly.Saheeh International

And We will present Hell that Day to the disbelievers, on display -Saheeh International

Those whose eyes had been within a cover [removed] from My remembrance, and they were not able to hear.Saheeh International

Then do those who disbelieve think that they can take My servants instead of Me as allies? Indeed, We have prepared Hell for the disbelievers as a lodging.Saheeh International

Say, [O Muḥammad], "Shall we [believers] inform you of the greatest losers as to [their] deeds?Saheeh International

[They are] those whose effort is lost in worldly life, while they think that they are doing well in work."Saheeh International

Those are the ones who disbelieve in the verses of their Lord and in [their] meeting Him, so their deeds have become worthless; and We will not assign to them on the Day of Resurrection any weight [i.e., importance].Saheeh International

That is their recompense - Hell - for what they denied and [because] they took My signs and My messengers in ridicule.Saheeh International

Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - they will have the Gardens of Paradise as a lodging,Saheeh International

Wherein they abide eternally. They will not desire from it any transfer.Saheeh International

Say, "If the sea were ink for [writing] the words of my Lord, the sea would be exhausted before the words of my Lord were exhausted, even if We brought the like of it in [continual] supplement."Saheeh International

Say, "I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that your god is one God. So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord - let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone."Saheeh International

Kāf, Hā, Yā, ʿAyn, Ṣād.Saheeh International

[This is] a mention of the mercy of your Lord to His servant ZechariahSaheeh International

When he called to his Lord a private call [i.e., supplication].Saheeh International

He said, "My Lord, indeed my bones have weakened, and my head has filled with white, and never have I been in my supplication to You, my Lord, unhappy [i.e., disappointed].Saheeh International

And indeed, I fear the successors after me, and my wife has been barren, so give me from Yourself an heirSaheeh International

Who will inherit me and inherit from the family of Jacob. And make him, my Lord, pleasing [to You]."Saheeh International

[He was told], "O Zechariah, indeed We give you good tidings of a boy whose name will be John. We have not assigned to any before [this] name."Saheeh International

He said, "My Lord, how will I have a boy when my wife has been barren and I have reached extreme old age?"Saheeh International

[An angel] said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, for I created you before, while you were nothing.'"Saheeh International

[Zechariah] said, "My Lord, make for me a sign." He said, "Your sign is that you will not speak to the people for three nights, [being] sound."Saheeh International

So he came out to his people from the prayer chamber and signaled to them to exalt [Allāh] in the morning and afternoon.Saheeh International

[Allāh said], "O John, take the Scripture [i.e., adhere to it] with determination." And We gave him judgement [while yet] a boySaheeh International

And affection from Us and purity, and he was fearing of AllāhSaheeh International

And dutiful to his parents, and he was not a disobedient tyrant.Saheeh International

And peace be upon him the day he was born and the day he dies and the day he is raised alive.Saheeh International

And mention, [O Muḥammad], in the Book [the story of] Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place toward the east.Saheeh International

And she took, in seclusion from them, a screen. Then We sent to her Our Angel [i.e., Gabriel], and he represented himself to her as a well-proportioned man.Saheeh International

She said, "Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, [so leave me], if you should be fearing of Allāh."Saheeh International

He said, "I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy [i.e., son]."Saheeh International

She said, "How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste?"Saheeh International

He said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter [already] decreed.'"Saheeh International

So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a remote place.Saheeh International

And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She said, "Oh, I wish I had died before this and was in oblivion, forgotten."Saheeh International

But he called her from below her, "Do not grieve; your Lord has provided beneath you a stream.Saheeh International

And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates.Saheeh International

So eat and drink and be contented. And if you see from among humanity anyone, say, 'Indeed, I have vowed to the Most Merciful abstention, so I will not speak today to [any] man.'"Saheeh International

Then she brought him to her people, carrying him. They said, "O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented.Saheeh International

O sister [i.e., descendant] of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste."Saheeh International

So she pointed to him. They said, "How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?"Saheeh International

[Jesus] said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allāh. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet.Saheeh International

And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and zakāh as long as I remain aliveSaheeh International

And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant.Saheeh International

And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive."Saheeh International

That is Jesus, the son of Mary - the word of truth about which they are in dispute.Saheeh International

It is not [befitting] for Allāh to take a son; exalted is He! When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, "Be," and it is.Saheeh International

[Jesus said], "And indeed, Allāh is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path."Saheeh International

Then the factions differed [concerning Jesus] from among them, so woe to those who disbelieved - from the scene of a tremendous Day.Saheeh International

How [clearly] they will hear and see the Day they come to Us, but the wrongdoers today are in clear error.Saheeh International

And warn them, [O Muḥammad], of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded; and [yet], they are in [a state of] heedlessness, and they do not believe.Saheeh International

Indeed, it is We who will inherit the earth and whoever is on it, and to Us they will be returned.Saheeh International

And mention in the Book [the story of] Abraham. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet.Saheeh International

[Mention] when he said to his father, "O my father, why do you worship that which does not hear and does not see and will not benefit you at all?Saheeh International

O my father, indeed there has come to me of knowledge that which has not come to you, so follow me; I will guide you to an even path.Saheeh International

O my father, do not worship [i.e., obey] Satan. Indeed Satan has ever been, to the Most Merciful, disobedient.Saheeh International

O my father, indeed I fear that there will touch you a punishment from the Most Merciful so you would be to Satan a companion [in Hellfire]."Saheeh International

[His father] said, "Have you no desire for my gods, O Abraham? If you do not desist, I will surely stone you, so avoid me a prolonged time."Saheeh International

[Abraham] said, "Peace [i.e., safety] will be upon you. I will ask forgiveness for you of my Lord. Indeed, He is ever gracious to me.Saheeh International

And I will leave you and those you invoke other than Allāh and will invoke my Lord. I expect that I will not be in invocation to my Lord unhappy [i.e., disappointed]."Saheeh International

So when he had left them and those they worshipped other than Allāh, We gave him Isaac and Jacob, and each [of them] We made a prophet.Saheeh International

And We gave them of Our mercy, and We made for them a mention [i.e., reputation] of high honor.Saheeh International

And mention in the Book, Moses. Indeed, he was chosen, and he was a messenger and a prophet.Saheeh International

And We called him from the side of the mount at [his] right and brought him near, confiding [to him].Saheeh International

And We gave him out of Our mercy his brother Aaron as a prophet.Saheeh International

And mention in the Book, Ishmael. Indeed, he was true to his promise, and he was a messenger and a prophet.Saheeh International

And he used to enjoin on his people prayer and zakāh and was to his Lord pleasing [i.e., accepted by Him].Saheeh International

And mention in the Book, Idrees. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet.Saheeh International

And We raised him to a high station.Saheeh International

Those were the ones upon whom Allāh bestowed favor from among the prophets of the descendants of Adam and of those We carried [in the ship] with Noah, and of the descendants of Abraham and Israel [i.e., Jacob], and of those whom We guided and chose. When the verses of the Most Merciful were recited to them, they fell in prostration and weeping.Saheeh International

But there came after them successors [i.e., later generations] who neglected prayer and pursued desires; so they are going to meet evil -Saheeh International

Except those who repent, believe and do righteousness; for those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged at all.Saheeh International

[Therein are] gardens of perpetual residence which the Most Merciful has promised His servants in the unseen. Indeed, His promise has ever been eminent.Saheeh International

They will not hear therein any ill speech - only [greetings of] peace - and they will have their provision therein, morning and afternoon.Saheeh International

That is Paradise, which We give as inheritance to those of Our servants who were fearing of Allāh.Saheeh International

[Gabriel said], "And we [angels] descend not except by the order of your Lord. To Him belongs that before us and that behind us and what is in between. And never is your Lord forgetful -Saheeh International

Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them - so worship Him and have patience for His worship. Do you know of any similarity to Him?"Saheeh International

And man [i.e., the disbeliever] says, "When I have died, am I going to be brought forth alive?"Saheeh International

Does man not remember that We created him before, while he was nothing?Saheeh International

So by your Lord, We will surely gather them and the devils; then We will bring them to be present around Hell upon their knees.Saheeh International

Then We will surely extract from every sect those of them who were worst against the Most Merciful in insolence.Saheeh International

Then, surely it is We who are most knowing of those most worthy of burning therein.Saheeh International

And there is none of you except he will come to it. This is upon your Lord an inevitability decreed.Saheeh International

Then We will save those who feared Allāh and leave the wrongdoers within it, on their knees.Saheeh International

And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Which of [our] two parties is best in position and best in association?"Saheeh International

And how many a generation have We destroyed before them who were better in possessions and [outward] appearance?Saheeh International

Say, "Whoever is in error - let the Most Merciful extend for him an extension [in wealth and time] until, when they see that which they were promised - either punishment [in this world] or the Hour [of resurrection] - they will come to know who is worst in position and weaker in soldiers."Saheeh International

And Allāh increases those who were guided, in guidance, and the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for recourse.Saheeh International

Then, have you seen he who disbelieved in Our verses and said, "I will surely be given wealth and children [in the next life]"?Saheeh International

Has he looked into the unseen, or has he taken from the Most Merciful a promise?Saheeh International

No! We will record what he says and extend [i.e., increase] for him from the punishment extensively.Saheeh International

And We will inherit him [in] what he mentions, and he will come to Us alone.Saheeh International

And they have taken besides Allāh [false] deities that they would be for them [a source of] honor.Saheeh International

No! They [i.e., those "gods"] will deny their worship of them and will be against them opponents [on the Day of Judgement].Saheeh International

Do you not see that We have sent the devils upon the disbelievers, inciting them [to evil] with [constant] incitement?Saheeh International

So be not impatient over them. We only count out [i.e., allow] to them a [limited] number.Saheeh International

On the Day We will gather the righteous to the Most Merciful as a delegationSaheeh International

And will drive the criminals to Hell in thirstSaheeh International

None will have [power of] intercession except he who had taken from the Most Merciful a covenant.Saheeh International

And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken [for Himself] a son."Saheeh International

You have done an atrocious thing.Saheeh International

The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastationSaheeh International

That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son.Saheeh International

And it is not appropriate for the Most Merciful that He should take a son.Saheeh International

There is no one in the heavens and earth but that he comes to the Most Merciful as a servant.Saheeh International

He has enumerated them and counted them a [full] counting.Saheeh International

And all of them are coming to Him on the Day of Resurrection alone.Saheeh International

Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - the Most Merciful will appoint for them affection.Saheeh International

So, [O Muḥammad], We have only made it [i.e., the Qur’ān] easy in your tongue [i.e., the Arabic language] that you may give good tidings thereby to the righteous and warn thereby a hostile people.Saheeh International

And how many have We destroyed before them of generations? Do you perceive of them anyone or hear from them a sound?Saheeh International

Ṭā, Hā.Saheeh International

We have not sent down to you the Qur’ān that you be distressedSaheeh International

But only as a reminder for those who fear [Allāh] -Saheeh International

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

The Most Merciful [who is] above the Throne established.Saheeh International

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.Saheeh International

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

Allāh - there is no deity except Him. To Him belong the best names.Saheeh International

And has the story of Moses reached you? -Saheeh International

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."Saheeh International

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

Indeed, I am your Lord, so remove your sandals. Indeed, you are in the blessed valley of Ṭuwā.Saheeh International

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

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

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

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

And what is that in your right hand, O Moses?"Saheeh International

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

[Allāh] said, "Throw it down, O Moses."Saheeh International

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

[Allāh] said, "Seize it and fear not; We will return it to its former condition.Saheeh International

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

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

Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed [i.e., tyrannized]."Saheeh International

[Moses] said, "My Lord, expand [i.e., relax] for me my breast [with assurance]Saheeh International

And ease for me my taskSaheeh International

And untie the knot from my tongueSaheeh International

That they may understand my speech.Saheeh International

And appoint for me a minister [i.e., assistant] from my family -Saheeh International

Aaron, my brother.Saheeh International

Increase through him my strengthSaheeh International

And let him share my taskSaheeh International

That we may exalt You muchSaheeh International

And remember You much.Saheeh International

Indeed, You are of us ever Seeing."Saheeh International

[Allāh] said, "You have been granted your request, O Moses.Saheeh International

And We had already conferred favor upon you another time,Saheeh International

When We inspired to your mother what We inspired,Saheeh International

[Saying], 'Cast him into the chest and cast it into the river, and the river will throw it onto the bank; there will take him an enemy to Me and an enemy to him.' And I bestowed upon you love from Me that you would be brought up under My eye [i.e., observation and care].Saheeh International

[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.Saheeh International

And I produced you for Myself.Saheeh International

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

Go, both of you, to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.Saheeh International

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

They said, "Our Lord, indeed we are afraid that he will hasten [punishment] against us or that he will transgress."Saheeh International

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

So go to him and say, 'Indeed, we are messengers of your Lord, so send with us the Children of Israel and do not torment them. We have come to you with a sign from your Lord. And peace will be upon he who follows the guidance.Saheeh International

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

[Pharaoh] said, "So who is the Lord of you two, O Moses?"Saheeh International

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

[Pharaoh] said, "Then what is the case of the former generations?"Saheeh International

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

[It is He] who has made for you the earth as a bed [spread out] and inserted therein for you roadways and sent down from the sky, rain and produced thereby categories of various plants.Saheeh International

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

From it [i.e., the earth] We created you, and into it We will return you, and from it We will extract you another time.Saheeh International

And We certainly showed him [i.e., Pharaoh] Our signs - all of them - but he denied and refused.Saheeh International

He said, "Have you come to us to drive us out of our land with your magic, O Moses?Saheeh International

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."Saheeh International

[Moses] said, "Your appointment is on the day of the festival when the people assemble at mid-morning."Saheeh International

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

Moses said to them [i.e., the magicians summoned by Pharaoh], "Woe to you! Do not invent a lie against Allāh or He will exterminate you with a punishment; and he has failed who invents [such falsehood]."Saheeh International

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

They said, "Indeed, these are two magicians who want to drive you out of your land with their magic and do away with your most exemplary way [i.e., religion or tradition].Saheeh International

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

They said, "O Moses, either you throw or we will be the first to throw."Saheeh International

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

And he sensed within himself apprehension, did Moses.Saheeh International

We [i.e., Allāh] said, "Fear not. Indeed, it is you who are superior.Saheeh International

And throw what is in your right hand; it will swallow up what they have crafted. What they have crafted is but the trick of a magician, and the magician will not succeed wherever he is."Saheeh International

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

[Pharaoh] said, "You believed him [i.e., Moses] before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic. So I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you on the trunks of palm trees, and you will surely know which of us is more severe in [giving] punishment and more enduring."Saheeh International

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.Saheeh International

Indeed, we have believed in our Lord that He may forgive us our sins and what you compelled us [to do] of magic. And Allāh is better and more enduring."Saheeh International

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

But whoever comes to Him as a believer having done righteous deeds - for those will be the highest degrees [in position]:Saheeh International

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

And We had inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants and strike for them a dry path through the sea; you will not fear being overtaken [by Pharaoh] nor be afraid [of drowning]."Saheeh International

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

And Pharaoh led his people astray and did not guide [them].Saheeh International

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,Saheeh International

[Saying], "Eat from the good things with which We have provided you and do not transgress [or oppress others] therein, lest My anger should descend upon you. And he upon whom My anger descends has certainly fallen [i.e., perished]."Saheeh International

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

[Allāh said], "And what made you hasten from your people, O Moses?"Saheeh International

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

[Allāh] said, "But indeed, We have tried your people after you [departed], and the Sāmirī has led them astray."Saheeh International

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?"Saheeh International
