Ta, Ha.

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

But only as a reminder for those who fear ˹Allah˺ -

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

The Most Merciful ˹who is˺ above the Throne established.

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.

And if you speak aloud - then indeed, He knows the secret and what is ˹even˺ more hidden.

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

طه

مَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِتَشْقَىٰٓ

إِلَّا تَذْكِرَةࣰ لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰ

تَنزِيلࣰا مِّمَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ ٱلْعُلَى

ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱسْتَوَىٰ

لَهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَمَا تَحْتَ ٱلثَّرَىٰ

وَإِن تَجْهَرْ بِٱلْقَوْلِ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلسِّرَّ وَأَخْفَى

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ لَهُ ٱلْأَسْمَآءُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ

And has the story of Moses reached you? -

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."

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

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

And I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed ˹to you˺.

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

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

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

وَهَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ

إِذْ رَءَا نَارࣰا فَقَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ ٱمْكُثُوٓا۟ إِنِّيٓ ءَانَسْتُ نَارࣰا لَّعَلِّيٓ ءَاتِيكُم مِّنْهَا بِقَبَسٍ أَوْ أَجِدُ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ هُدࣰى

فَلَمَّآ أَتَىٰهَا نُودِيَ يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ

إِنِّيٓ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكَ فَٱخْلَعْ نَعْلَيْكَ إِنَّكَ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوࣰى

وَأَنَا ٱخْتَرْتُكَ فَٱسْتَمِعْ لِمَا يُوحَىٰٓ

إِنَّنِيٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱعْبُدْنِي وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ لِذِكْرِيٓ

إِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٌ أَكَادُ أُخْفِيهَا لِتُجْزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسِۭ بِمَا تَسْعَىٰ

فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكَ عَنْهَا مَن لَّا يُؤْمِنُ بِهَا وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ فَتَرْدَىٰ

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

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.

˹Allah˺ said, "Seize it and fear not; We will return it to its former condition.

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

That We may show you ˹some˺ of Our greater signs.

Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed."

وَمَا تِلْكَ بِيَمِينِكَ يَٰمُوسَىٰ

قَالَ هِيَ عَصَايَ أَتَوَكَّؤُا۟ عَلَيْهَا وَأَهُشُّ بِهَا عَلَىٰ غَنَمِي وَلِيَ فِيهَا مَـَٔارِبُ أُخْرَىٰ

فَأَلْقَىٰهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ حَيَّةࣱ تَسْعَىٰ

قَالَ خُذْهَا وَلَا تَخَفْۖ سَنُعِيدُهَا سِيرَتَهَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ

وَٱضْمُمْ يَدَكَ إِلَىٰ جَنَاحِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَآءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوٓءٍ ءَايَةً أُخْرَىٰ

لِنُرِيَكَ مِنْ ءَايَٰتِنَا ٱلْكُبْرَى

ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ

˹Moses˺ said, "My Lord, expand for me my breast ˹with assurance˺

And ease for me my task

And untie the knot from my tongue

That they may understand my speech.

And appoint for me a minister from my family -

Aaron, my brother.

Increase through him my strength

And let him share my task

That we may exalt You much

And remember You much.

Indeed, You are of us ever Seeing."

˹Allah˺ said, "You have been granted your request, O Moses.

And We had already conferred favor upon you another time,

When We inspired to your mother what We inspired,

˹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.

˹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.

And I produced you for Myself.

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

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

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

They said, "Our Lord, indeed we are afraid that he will hasten ˹punishment˺ against us or that he will transgress."

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

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.

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

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي

وَيَسِّرْ لِيٓ أَمْرِي

وَٱحْلُلْ عُقْدَةࣰ مِّن لِّسَانِي

كَيْ نُسَبِّحَكَ كَثِيرࣰا

وَنَذْكُرَكَ كَثِيرًا

إِنَّكَ كُنتَ بِنَا بَصِيرࣰا

قَالَ قَدْ أُوتِيتَ سُؤْلَكَ يَٰمُوسَىٰ

وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَيْكَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَىٰٓ

إِذْ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّكَ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ

أَنِ ٱقْذِفِيهِ فِي ٱلتَّابُوتِ فَٱقْذِفِيهِ فِي ٱلْيَمِّ فَلْيُلْقِهِ ٱلْيَمُّ بِٱلسَّاحِلِ يَأْخُذْهُ عَدُوࣱّ لِّي وَعَدُوࣱّ لَّهُۥۚ وَأَلْقَيْتُ عَلَيْكَ مَحَبَّةࣰ مِّنِّي وَلِتُصْنَعَ عَلَىٰ عَيْنِيٓ

إِذْ تَمْشِيٓ أُخْتُكَ فَتَقُولُ هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن يَكْفُلُهُۥۖ فَرَجَعْنَٰكَ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّكَ كَيْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَۚ وَقَتَلْتَ نَفْسࣰا فَنَجَّيْنَٰكَ مِنَ ٱلْغَمِّ وَفَتَنَّٰكَ فُتُونࣰاۚ فَلَبِثْتَ سِنِينَ فِيٓ أَهْلِ مَدْيَنَ ثُمَّ جِئْتَ عَلَىٰ قَدَرࣲ يَٰمُوسَىٰ

وَٱصْطَنَعْتُكَ لِنَفْسِي

ٱذْهَبْ أَنتَ وَأَخُوكَ بِـَٔايَٰتِي وَلَا تَنِيَا فِي ذِكْرِي

ٱذْهَبَآ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ

فَقُولَا لَهُۥ قَوْلࣰا لَّيِّنࣰا لَّعَلَّهُۥ يَتَذَكَّرُ أَوْ يَخْشَىٰ

قَالَا رَبَّنَآ إِنَّنَا نَخَافُ أَن يَفْرُطَ عَلَيْنَآ أَوْ أَن يَطْغَىٰ

قَالَ لَا تَخَافَآۖ إِنَّنِي مَعَكُمَآ أَسْمَعُ وَأَرَىٰ

فَأْتِيَاهُ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولَا رَبِّكَ فَأَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِيٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ وَلَا تُعَذِّبْهُمْۖ قَدْ جِئْنَٰكَ بِـَٔايَةࣲ مِّن رَّبِّكَۖ وَٱلسَّلَٰمُ عَلَىٰ مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ

إِنَّا قَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيْنَآ أَنَّ ٱلْعَذَابَ عَلَىٰ مَن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

˹Pharaoh˺ said, "So who is the Lord of you two, O Moses?"

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

˹Pharaoh˺ said, "Then what is the case of the former generations?"

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

˹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.

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

قَالَ فَمَن رَّبُّكُمَا يَٰمُوسَىٰ
