20. Surah Taha

Ṭā, Hā.1

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh 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.1

— 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 it1 - so that every soul may be recompensed according to that for which it strives.

— Saheeh International

So do not let one avert you from it1 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 task

— Saheeh International

And untie the knot from my tongue

— Saheeh 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 strength

— Saheeh International

And let him share my task

— Saheeh International

That we may exalt You much

— Saheeh 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 Me1 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,1 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.
