وَأَنَا ٱخْتَرْتُكَ فَٱسْتَمِعْ لِمَا يُوحَىٰٓ ^١٣

20:13 | And I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed [to you].

إِنَّنِىٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱعْبُدْنِى وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ لِذِكْرِىٓ ^١٤

20:14 | Indeed, I am Allāh. There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance.

إِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٌ أَكَادُ أُخْفِيهَا لِتُجْزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا تَسْعَىٰ ^١٥

20:15 | Indeed, the Hour is coming - I almost conceal it ¹ - so that every soul may be recompensed according to that for which it strives.

فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكَ عَنْهَا مَن لَّا يُؤْمِنُ بِهَا وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ فَتَرْدَىٰ ^١٦

20:16 | So do not let one avert you from it ¹ who does not believe in it and follows his desire, for you [then] would perish.

وَمَا تِلْكَ بِيَمِينِكَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ ^١٧

20:17 | And what is that in your right hand, O Moses?"

قَالَ هِىَ عَصَاىَ أَتَوَكَّؤُا۟ عَلَيْهَا وَأَهُشُّ بِهَا عَلَىٰ غَنَمِى وَلِىَ فِيهَا مَـَٔارِبُ أُخْرَىٰ ^١٨

20:18 | 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 أَلْقِهَا يَـٰمُوسَىٰ ^١٩

20:19 | [Allāh] said, "Throw it down, O Moses."

فَأَلْقَىٰهَا فَإِذَا هِىَ حَيَّةٌۭ تَسْعَىٰ ^٢٠

20:20 | So he threw it down, and thereupon it was a snake, moving swiftly.

قَالَ خُذْهَا وَلَا تَخَفْ ۖ سَنُعِيدُهَا سِيرَتَهَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ ^٢١

20:21 | [Allāh] said, "Seize it and fear not; We will return it to its former condition.

وَٱضْمُمْ يَدَكَ إِلَىٰ جَنَاحِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَآءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوٓءٍ ءَايَةً أُخْرَىٰ ^٢٢

20:22 | And draw in your hand to your side; it will come out white without disease - another sign,

لِنُرِيَكَ مِنْ ءَايَـٰتِنَا ٱلْكُبْرَى ^٢٣

20:23 | That We may show you [some] of Our greater signs.

ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ ^٢٤

20:24 | Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed [i.e., tyrannized]."

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱشْرَحْ لِى صَدْرِى ^٢٥

20:25 | [Moses] said, "My Lord, expand [i.e., relax] for me my breast [with assurance]

وَيَسِّرْ لِىٓ أَمْرِى ^٢٦

20:26 | And ease for me my task

وَٱحْلُلْ عُقْدَةًۭ مِّن لِّسَانِى ^٢٧

20:27 | And untie the knot from my tongue

يَفْقَهُوا۟ قَوْلِى ^٢٨

20:28 | That they may understand my speech.

وَٱجْعَل لِّى وَزِيرًۭا مِّنْ أَهْلِى ^٢٩

20:29 | And appoint for me a minister [i.e., assistant] from my family -

هَـٰرُونَ أَخِى ^٣٠

20:30 | Aaron, my brother.

ٱشْدُدْ بِهِۦٓ أَزْرِى ^٣١

20:31 | Increase through him my strength

وَأَشْرِكْهُ فِىٓ أَمْرِى ^٣٢

20:32 | And let him share my task

كَىْ نُسَبِّحَكَ كَثِيرًۭا ^٣٣

20:33 | That we may exalt You much

وَنَذْكُرَكَ كَثِيرًا ^٣٤

20:34 | And remember You much.

إِنَّكَ كُنتَ بِنَا بَصِيرًۭا ^٣٥

20:35 | Indeed, You are of us ever Seeing."

قَالَ قَدْ أُوتِيتَ سُؤْلَكَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ ^٣٦

20:36 | [Allāh] said, "You have been granted your request, O Moses.

وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَيْكَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَىٰٓ ^٣٧

20:37 | And We had already conferred favor upon you another time,
