وَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مُّؤْمِنٌ مِّنْ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَكْتُمُ إِيمَانَهُ أَتَقْتُلُونَ رَجُلًا أَن يَقُولَ رَبِّيَ اللَّهُ وَقَدْ جَاءَكُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ ۖ وَإِن يَكُ كَاذِبًا فَعَلَيْهِ كَذِبُهُ ۖ وَإِن يَكُ صَادِقًا يُصِبْكُم بَعْضُ الَّذِي يَعِدُكُمْ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِفٌ كَذَّابٌ ٢٨

And a believing man of Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) family, who hid his faith said: "Would you kill a man because he says: My Lord is Allah, and he has come to you with clear signs (proofs) from your Lord? And if he is a liar, upon him will be (the sin of) his lie; but if he is telling the truth, then some of that (calamity) wherewith he threatens you will befall on you." Verily, Allah guides not one who is a Musrif (a polytheist, or a murderer who shed blood without a right, or those who commit great sins, oppressor, transgressor), a liar!

وَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مُّؤْمِنٌ مِّنْ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَكْتُمُ إِيمَانَهُ

And a believing man of Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) family, who hid his faith said:

أَتَقْتُلُونَ رَجُلًا أَن يَقُولَ رَبِّيَ اللَّهُ

Would you kill a man because he says: My Lord is Allah,

وَقَدْ جَاءَكُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ ۖ

and he has come to you with clear signs (proofs) from your Lord?

وَإِن يَكُ كَاذِبًا فَعَلَيْهِ كَذِبُهُ ۖ

And if he is a liar, upon him will be (the sin of) his lie;

وَإِن يَكُ صَادِقًا يُصِبْكُم بَعْضُ الَّذِي يَعِدُكُمْ ۖ

but if he is telling the truth, then some of that (calamity) wherewith he threatens you will befall on you.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِفٌ كَذَّابٌ

Verily, Allah guides not one who is a Musrif (a polytheist, or a murderer who shed blood without a right, or those who commit great sins, oppressor, transgressor), a liar!

يَا قَوْمِ لَكُمُ الْمُلْكُ الْيَوْمَ ظَاهِرِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَمَن يَنصُرُنَا مِن بَأْسِ اللَّهِ إِن جَاءَنَا ۚ قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ مَا أُرِيكُمْ إِلَّا مَا أَرَىٰ وَمَا أَهْدِيكُمْ إِلَّا سَبِيلَ الرَّشَادِ ٢٩

"O my people! Yours is the kingdom this day, you are uppermost in the land. But who will save us from the Torment of Allah, should it befall us?" Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said: "I show you only that which I see (correct), and I guide you only to the path of right policy!"

يَا قَوْمِ لَكُمُ

O my people!

الْمُلْكُ الْيَوْمَ ظَاهِرِينَ

Yours is the kingdom this day,

فِي الْأَرْضِ فَمَن

you are uppermost in the land.

يَنصُرُنَا مِن بَأْسِ اللَّهِ إِن

But who will save us from the Torment of Allah,

جَاءَنَا ۚ قَالَ

should it befall us?

فِرْعَوْنُ مَا

Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said:

أُرِيكُمْ إِلَّا مَا أَرَىٰ وَمَا

I show you only that which I see (correct),

أَهْدِيكُمْ إِلَّا سَبِيلَ الرَّشَادِ

and I guide you only to the path of right policy!

وَقَالَ الَّذِي آمَنَ يَا قَوْمِ إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُم مِّثْلَ يَوْمِ الْأَحْزَابِ ٣٠

And he who believed said: "O my people! Verily, I fear for you a fate like that day (of disaster) of the Confederates (of old)!

وَقَالَ الَّذِي آمَنَ

And he who believed said

يَا قَوْمِ إِنِّي

O my people!

أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُم مِّثْلَ

Verily, I fear for you

يَوْمِ الْأَحْزَابِ

a fate like that day (of disaster) of the Confederates (of old)

مِثْلَ دَأْبِ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَعَادٍ وَثَمُودَ وَالَّذِينَ مِن بَعْدِهِمْ ۚ وَمَا اللَّهُ يُرِيدُ ظُلْمًا لِّلْعِبَادِ ٣١

"Like the fate of the people of Nuh (Noah), and 'Ad, and Thamud and those who came after them. And Allah wills no injustice for (His) slaves.

مِثْلَ دَأْبِ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ

Like the fate of the people of Nuh (Noah),

وَعَادٍ وَثَمُودَ

and 'Ad, and Thamud

وَالَّذِينَ مِن بَعْدِهِمْ ۚ

and those who came after them.

وَمَا اللَّهُ يُرِيدُ ظُلْمًا لِّلْعِبَادِ

And Allah wills no injustice for (His) slaves.

وَيَا قَوْمِ إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَوْمَ التَّنَادِ ٣٢

"And, O my people! Verily! I fear for you the Day when there will be mutual calling (between the people of Hell and of Paradise)."

وَيَا قَوْمِ إِنِّي

And, O my people!

أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَوْمَ

Verily! I fear for you

التَّنَادِ

the Day when there will be mutual calling (between the people of Hell and of Paradise).

يَوْمَ تُوَلُّونَ مُدْبِرِينَ مَا لَكُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ مِنْ عَاصِمٍ ۗ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ هَادٍ ٣٣

A Day when you will turn your backs and flee having no protector from Allah, And whomsoever Allah sends astray, for him there is no guide.

يَوْمَ تُوَلُّونَ مُدْبِرِينَ

A Day when you will turn your backs and flee

مَا لَكُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ مِنْ عَاصِمٍ ۗ

having no protector from Allah

وَمَن يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ

And whomsoever Allah sends astray

فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ هَادٍ

for him there is no guide

وَلَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ يُوسُفُ مِن قَبْلُ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَمَا زِلْتُمْ فِي شَكٍّ مِّمَّا جَاءَكُم بِهِ ۖ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا هَلَكَ قُلْتُمْ لَن يَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ مِن بَعْدِهِ رَسُولًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِفٌ مُّرْتَابٌ ٣٤

And indeed Yusuf (Joseph) did come to you, in times gone by, with clear signs, but you ceased not to doubt in that which he did bring to you, till when he died you said: "No Messenger will Allah send after him." Thus Allah leaves astray him who is a Musrif (a polytheist, oppressor, a criminal, sinner who commit great sins) and a Murtab (one who doubts Allah's Warning and His Oneness).

وَلَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ يُوسُفُ مِن قَبْلُ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ

And indeed Yusuf (Joseph) did come to you, in times gone by, with clear signs,

فَمَا زِلْتُمْ فِي شَكٍّ مِّمَّا جَاءَكُم بِهِ ۖ

but you ceased not to doubt in that which he did bring to you,

حَتَّىٰ إِذَا هَلَكَ

till when he died

قُلْتُمْ لَن يَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ مِن بَعْدِهِ رَسُولًا ۚ

you said: 'No Messenger will Allah send after him.'

كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِفٌ مُّرْتَابٌ

Thus Allah leaves astray him who is a Musrif (a polytheist, oppressor, a criminal, sinner who commit great sins) and a Murtab (one who doubts Allah's Warning and His Oneness).

الَّذِينَ يُجَادِلُونَ فِي آيَاتِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ سُلْطَانٍ أَتَاهُمْ ۖ كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِندَ اللَّهِ وَعِندَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَطْبَعُ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ قَلْبِ مُتَكَبِّرٍ جَبَّارٍ ٣٥

Those who dispute about the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah, without any authority that has come to them, it is greatly hateful and disgusting to Allah and to those who believe. Thus does Allah seal up the heart of every arrogant, tyrant. (So they cannot guide themselves to the Right Path).

الَّذِينَ يُجَادِلُونَ فِي آيَاتِ اللَّهِ

Those who dispute about the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah,

بِغَيْرِ سُلْطَانٍ أَتَاهُمْ ۖ

without any authority that has come to them,

كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِندَ اللَّهِ وَعِندَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا ۚ

كَذَٰلِكَ يَطْبَعُ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ قَلْبِ مُتَكَبِّرٍ جَبَّارٍ

Thus does Allah seal up the heart of every arrogant, tyrant.

وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ يَا هَامَانُ ابْنِ لِي صَرْحًا لَّعَلِّي أَبْلُغُ الْأَسْبَابَ ٣٦

And Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said: "O Haman! Build me a tower that I may arrive at the ways,

وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ

And Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said:

يَا هَامَانُ ابْنِ

O Haman!

لِي صَرْحًا لَّعَلِّي

Build me a tower

أَبْلُغُ الْأَسْبَابَ

that I may arrive at the ways

أَسْبَابَ السَّمَاوَاتِ فَأَطَّلِعَ إِلَىٰ إِلَٰهِ مُوسَىٰ وَإِنِّي لَأَظُنُّهُ كَاذِبًا ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ سُوءُ عَمَلِهِ وَصُدَّ عَنِ السَّبِيلِ ۚ وَمَا كَيْدُ فِرْعَوْنَ إِلَّا فِي تَبَابٍ ٣٧

"The ways of the heavens, and I may look upon the Ilah (God) of Musa (Moses) but verily, I think him to be a liar." Thus it was made fair-seeming, in Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) eyes, the evil of his deeds, and he was hindered from the (Right) Path, and the plot of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) led to nothing but loss and destruction (for him).

أَسْبَابَ السَّمَاوَاتِ

The ways of the heavens,

فَأَطَّلِعَ إِلَىٰ إِلَٰهِ مُوسَىٰ

and I may look upon the Ilah (God) of Musa (Moses),

وَإِنِّي لَأَظُنُّهُ كَاذِبًا ۚ

but verily, I think him to be a liar.

وَكَذَٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ سُوءُ عَمَلِهِ

Thus it was made fair-seeming, in Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) eyes, the evil of his deeds,

وَصُدَّ عَنِ السَّبِيلِ ۚ

and he was hindered from the (Right) Path,

وَمَا كَيْدُ فِرْعَوْنَ إِلَّا فِي تَبَابٍ

and the plot of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) led to nothing but loss and destruction (for him).

وَقَالَ الَّذِي آمَنَ يَا قَوْمِ اتَّبِعُونِ أَهْدِكُمْ سَبِيلَ الرَّشَادِ ٣٨

And the man who believed said: "O my people! Follow me, I will guide you to the way of right conduct [i.e. guide you to Allah's religion of Islamic Monotheism with which Musa (Moses) has been sent].

وَقَالَ الَّذِي آمَنَ
