Mûsâ (Moses)] in Quran-8
S.21 48. And indeed We granted to Mûsâ (Moses) and Hârûn (Aaron) the criterion (of right and wrong), and a shining light [i.e. the Taurât (Torah)] and a Reminder for Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - See V.2:2).S.22 44. And the dwellers of Madyan (Midian); and belied was Mûsâ (Moses). But I granted respite to the disbelievers for a while, then I seized them, and how (terrible) was My punishment (against their wrong-doing)!S.2344. Then We sent Our Messengers in succession. Every time there came to a nation their Messenger, they denied him; so We made them follow one another (to destruction), and We made them as Ahadîth (the true stories for mankind to learn a lesson from them). So away with a people who believe not!45. Then We sent Mûsa (Moses) and his brother Hârûn (Aaron), with Our Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and manifest authority,46. To Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) and his chiefs, but they behaved insolently and they were people self-exalting (by disobeying their Lord, and exalting themselves over and above the Messenger of Allâh).47. They said: "Shall we believe in two men like ourselves, and their people are obedient to us with humility (and we use them to serve us as we like)."48. So they denied them both [Mûsâ (Moses) and Hârûn (Aaron)] and became of those who were destroyed.49. And indeed We gave Mûsâ (Moses) the Scripture, that they may be guided.S.3535. And indeed We gave Mûsâ (Moses) the Scripture [the Taurât (Torah)], and placed his brother Hârûn (Aaron) with him as a helper;36. And We said: "Go you both to the people who have denied Our Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)." Then We destroyed them with utter destruction.S.2610. And (remember) when your Lord called Mûsâ (Moses) (saying): "Go to the people who are Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers) -11. "The people of Fir‘aun (Pharaoh): Will they not fear Allâh and become righteous?"12. He said: "My Lord! Verily, I fear that they will belie me,13. "And my breast straitens, and my tongue expresses not well. So send for Hârûn (Aaron) (to come along with me).14. "And they have a charge of crime against me, and I fear they will kill me."15. (Allâh) said: "Nay! Go you both with Our Signs. Verily We shall be with you, listening.16. "And go both of you to Fir‘aun (Pharaoh), and say: ‘We are the Messengers of the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists),17. "So allow the Children of Israel to go with us.’ "18. [Fir‘aun (Pharaoh)] said [to Mûsâ (Moses)]: "Did we not bring you up among us as a child? And you did dwell many years of your life with us.19. "And you did your deed, which you did (i.e. the crime of killing a man) while you were one of the ingrates."20. Mûsâ (Moses) said: "I did it then, when I was ignorant (as regards my Lord and His Message).21. "So I fled from you when I feared you. But my Lord has granted me Hukm (i.e. religious knowledge, right judgement of the affairs and Prophethood), and made me one of the Messengers.22. "And this is the past favour with which you reproach me: that you have enslaved the Children of Israel."23. Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) said: "And what is the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists)?"24. [Mûsâ (Moses)] said: "The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, if you seek to be convinced with certainty."25. [Fir‘aun (Pharaoh)] said to those around: "Do you not hear (what he says)?"26. [Mûsâ (Moses)] said: "Your Lord and the Lord of your ancient fathers!"27. [Fir‘aun (Pharaoh)] said: "Verily, your Messenger who has been sent to you is a madman!"28. [Mûsâ (Moses)] said: "Lord of the east and the west, and all that is between them, if you did but understand!"29. [Fir‘aun (Pharaoh)] said: "If you choose an ilâh (god) other than me, I will certainly put you among the prisoners."30. [Mûsâ (Moses)] said: "Even if I bring you something manifest (and convincing)?"31. [Fir‘aun (Pharaoh)] said: "Bring it forth then, if you are of the truthful!"32. So [Mûsâ (Moses)] threw his stick, and behold, it was a serpent, manifest.33. And he drew out his hand, and behold, it was white to all beholders!34. [Fir‘aun (Pharaoh)] said to the chiefs around him: "Verily! This is indeed a well-versed sorcerer.35. "He wants to drive you out of your land by his sorcery: what is it then that you command?"36. They said: "Put him off and his brother (for a while), and send callers to the cities;37. "To bring up to you every well-versed sorcerer."38. So the sorcerers were assembled at a fixed time on a day appointed.39. And it was said to the people: "Are you (too) going to assemble?40. "That we may follow the sorcerers [who were on Fir‘aun’s (Pharaoh) religion of disbelief] if they are the winners."41. So when the sorcerers arrived, they said to Fir‘aun (Pharaoh): "Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners?"42. He said: "Yes, and you shall then verily be of those brought near (to myself)."43. Mûsâ (Moses) said to them: "Throw what you are going to throw!"44. So they threw their ropes and their sticks, and said: "By the might of Fir‘aun (Pharaoh), it is we who will certainly win!"45. Then Mûsâ (Moses) threw his stick, and behold, it swallowed up all that they falsely showed!46. And the sorcerers fell down prostrate.47. Saying: "We believe in the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists).48. "The Lord of Mûsâ (Moses) and Hârûn (Aaron)."49. [Fir‘aun (Pharaoh)] said: "You have believed in him before I give you leave. Surely, he indeed is your chief, who has taught you magic! So verily, you shall come to know. Verily, I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you all."50. They said: "No harm! Surely, to our Lord (Allâh) we are to return.51. "Verily we really hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins, as we are the first of the believers [in Mûsâ (Moses) and in the Monotheism which he has brought from Allâh]."52. And We revealed to Mûsâ (Moses), saying: "Depart by night with My slaves, verily you will be pursued."53. Then Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) sent callers to (all) the cities.54. (Saying): "Verily these indeed are but a small band.55. "And verily, they have done what has enraged us.56. "But we are a host all assembled, amply fore-warned."57. So, We expelled them from gardens and springs,58. Treasures, and every kind of honourable place.59. Thus [We turned them (Pharaoh’s people) out] and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them.60. So they pursued them at sunrise.61. And when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Mûsâ (Moses) said: "We are sure to be overtaken."62. [Mûsâ (Moses)] said: "Nay, verily with me is my Lord. He will guide me."63. Then We revealed to Mûsâ (Moses) (saying): "Strike the sea with your stick." And it parted, and each separate part (of that sea water) became like huge mountain.64. Then We brought near the others [Fir‘aun’s (Pharaoh) party] to that place.65. And We saved Mûsâ (Moses) and all those with him.66. Then We drowned the others.67. Verily in this is indeed a sign (or a proof), yet most of them are not believers.
