In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
- Ta Sin Mim.
- These are Verses of the Book that makes (things) clear.
- It may be thou frettest thy soul with grief, that they do not become Believers.
- If (such) were Our Will, We could send down to them from the sky a Sign, to which they would bend their necks in humility.
- But there comes not to them a newly-revealed message from (Allah) Most Gracious, but they turn away therefrom.
- They have indeed rejected (the Message): so they will know soon (enough) the truth of what they mocked at!
- Do they not look at the earth -- how many noble things of all kinds we have produced therein?
- Verily, in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.
- And verily, thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
- Behold, thy Lord called Moses: "Go to the people of iniquity,"
- "The people of Pharaoh: will they not fear Allah?"
- He said: "O my Lord! I do fear that they will charge me with falsehood:
- "My breast will be straitened, and my speech may not go (smoothly): so send unto Aaron.
- "And (further), they have a charge of crime against me; and I fear they may slay me."
- Allah said: "By no means! proceed then, both of you, with Our Signs; We are with you, and will listen (to your call).
- "So go forth, both of you, to Pharaoh, and say: `We have been sent by the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds;
- " `Send thou with us the Children of Israel.' "
- (Pharaoh) said: "Did we not cherish thee as a child among us, and didst thou not stay in our midst many years of thy life?
- "And thou didst a deed of thine which (thou knowest) thou didst, and thou art an ungrateful (wretch)!"
- Moses: "I did it then when I was in error.
- "So I fled from you (all) when I feared you; but my Lord has (since) invested me with judgment (and wisdom) and appointed me as one of the apostles.
- "And this is the favor with which thou dost reproach me, -- that thou hast enslaved the Children of Israel"
- Pharaoh said: "And what is the `Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds?' "
- (Moses) said: "The Lord and Cherisher of the heavens and the earth, and all between, -- if ye want to be quite sure."
- (Pharaoh) said to those around: "Do ye not listen (to what he says)?"
