Mûsâ (Moses)in Quran-11

s.4145. And indeed We gave Mûsâ (Moses) the Scripture, but dispute arose therein. And had it not been for a Word that went forth before from your Lord, (the torment would have overtaken them) and the matter would have been settled between them. But truly, they are in grave doubt thereto (i.e. about the Qur’ân). [Tafsir Al-Qurtubi].s.4346. And indeed We did send Mûsâ (Moses) with Our Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) to Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) and his chiefs (inviting them to Allâh’s religion of Islâm) He said: "Verily, I am a Messenger of the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists)."47. But when he came to them with Our Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations) behold, they laughed at them.48. And not an Ayâh (sign, etc.) We showed them but it was greater than its fellow , and We seized them with torment, in order that they might turn [from their polytheism to Allâh’s religion (Islâmic Monotheism)].49. And they said [to Mûsâ (Moses)]: "O you sorcerer! Invoke your Lord for us according to what He has covenanted with you. Verily, We shall guide ourselves (aright)."50. But when We removed the torment from them, behold, they broke their covenant (that they will believe if We remove the torment from them).51. And Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) proclaimed among his people (saying): "O my people! Is not mine the dominion of Egypt, and these rivers flowing underneath me. See you not then?52. "Am I not better than this one [Mûsâ (Moses)] who is despicable and can scarcely express himself clearly?53. "Why then are not golden bracelets bestowed on him, or angels sent along with him?"54. Thus he [Fir‘aun (Pharaoh)] befooled (and misled) his people, and they obeyed him. Verily, they were ever a people who were Fâsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allâh).55. So when they angered Us, We punished them, and drowned them all.56. And We made them a precedent (as a lesson for those coming after them), and an example to later generations.s.4612. And before this was the Scripture of Mûsâ (Moses) as a guide and a mercy. And this is a confirming Book (the Qur’ân) in the Arabic language, to warn those who do wrong, and as glad tidings to the Muhsinûn (good-doers. See the footnote of V.9:120).s.5138. And in Mûsâ (Moses) (too, there is a sign), when We sent him to Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) with a manifest authority.39. But [Fir‘aun (Pharaoh)] turned away (from Belief in might) along with his hosts, and said: "A sorcerer, or a madman."40. So We took him and his hosts, and dumped them into the sea, for he was blameworthy.s.5336. Or is he not informed with what is in the Pages (Scripture) of Mûsâ (Moses),s.615. And (remember) when Mûsâ (Moses) said to his people: "O my people! Why do you annoy me while you know certainly that I am the Messenger of Allâh to you? So when they turned away (from the Path of Allâh), Allâh turned their hearts away (from the Right Path). And Allâh guides not the people who are Fâsiqûn (the rebellious, the disobedient to Allâh).s.7915. Has there come to you the story of Mûsâ (Moses)?16. When his Lord called him in the sacred valley of Tûwâ,17. Go to Fir‘aun (Pharaoh); verily he has transgressed all bounds (in crimes, sins, polytheism, disbelief).18. And say to him: "Would you purify yourself (from the sin of disbelief by becoming a believer)?"19. "And that I guide you to your Lord, so you should fear Him?"20. Then [Mûsâ (Moses)] showed him the great sign (miracles).21. But [Fir‘aun (Pharaoh)] belied and disobeyed.22. Then he turned his back, striving (against Allâh).23. Then he gathered (his people) and cried aloud,24. Saying: "I am your lord, most high."25. So Allâh, seized him with punishment for his last[1] and first[2] transgression. [Tafsir At-Tabari]26. Verily, in this is an instructive admonition for whosoever fears Allâh
