20. Surah Taha – Verses 81–120

[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 Sāmirī1 has led them astray."

— Saheeh International

So Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved.1 He said, "O my people, did your Lord not make you a good promise?2 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

They said, "We did not break our promise to you by our will, but we were made to carry burdens from the ornaments of the people [of Pharaoh], so we threw them [into the fire], and thus did the Sāmirī throw."

— Saheeh International

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."

— Saheeh International

Did they not see that it could not return to them any speech [i.e., response] and that it did not possess for them any harm or benefit?

— Saheeh International

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."

— Saheeh International

They said, "We will never cease being devoted to it [i.e., the calf] until Moses returns to us."

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

From following me? Then have you disobeyed my order?"

— Saheeh International

[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.'"

— Saheeh International

[Moses] said, "And what is your case, O Sāmirī?"

— Saheeh International

He said, "I saw what they did not see, so I took a handful [of dust] from the track of the messenger1 and threw it,2 and thus did my soul entice me."

— Saheeh International

[Moses] said, "Then go. And indeed, it is [decreed] for you in [this] life to say, 'No contact.'1 And indeed, you have an appointment [in the Hereafter] you will not fail to keep. And look at your 'god' to which you remained devoted. We will surely burn it and blow it [i.e., its ashes] into the sea with a blast.

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

Thus, [O Muḥammad], We relate to you from the news of what has preceded. And We have certainly given you from Us a message [i.e., the Qur’ān].

— Saheeh International

Whoever turns away from it - then indeed, he will bear on the Day of Resurrection a burden [i.e., great sin],

— Saheeh International

[Abiding] eternally therein,1 and evil it is for them on the Day of Resurrection as a load -

— Saheeh International

The Day the Horn will be blown. And We will gather the criminals, that Day, blue-eyed.1

— Saheeh International

They will murmur among themselves, "You remained not but ten [days in the world]."

— Saheeh International

We are most knowing of what they say when the best of them in manner [i.e., wisdom or speech] will say, "You remained not but one day."

— Saheeh International

And they ask you about the mountains, so say, "My Lord will blow them away with a blast.1

— Saheeh International

And He will leave it [i.e., the earth] a level plain;

— Saheeh International

You will not see therein a depression or an elevation."

— Saheeh International

That Day, they [i.e., everyone] will follow [the call of] the Caller1 [with] no deviation therefrom, and [all] voices will be stilled before the Most Merciful, so you will not hear except a whisper [of footsteps].

— Saheeh International

That Day, no intercession will benefit except [that of] one to whom the Most Merciful has given permission and has accepted his word.

— Saheeh International

He [i.e., Allāh] knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them,1 but they do not encompass it [i.e., what He knows] in knowledge.

— Saheeh International

And [all] faces will be humbled before the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining.1 And he will have failed who carries injustice.2

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

And thus We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur’ān1 and have diversified therein the warnings that perhaps they will avoid [sin] or it would cause them remembrance.

— Saheeh International

So high [above all] is Allāh, the Sovereign,1 the Truth.2 And, [O Muḥammad], do not hasten with [recitation of] the Qur’ān before its revelation is completed to you, and say, "My Lord, increase me in knowledge."

— Saheeh International

And We had already taken a promise from Adam before, but he forgot; and We found not in him determination.1

— Saheeh International

And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except Iblees;1 he refused.

— Saheeh International

So We said, "O Adam, indeed this is an enemy to you and to your wife. Then let him not remove you from Paradise so you would suffer.

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

And indeed, you will not be thirsty therein or be hot from the sun."

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International
