وَأَنَا ٱخْتَرْتُكَ فَٱسْتَمِعْ لِمَا يُوحَىٰٓAnd I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed [to you].إِنَّنِىٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱعْبُدْنِى وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ لِذِكْرِىٓIndeed, I am Allāh. There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance.إِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٌ أَكَادُ أُخْفِيهَا لِتُجْزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا تَسْعَىٰIndeed, the Hour is coming - I almost conceal it - so that every soul may be recompensed according to that for which it strives.فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكَ عَنْهَا مَن لَّا يُؤْمِنُ بِهَا وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ فَتَرْدَىٰSo do not let one avert you from it who does not believe in it and follows his desire, for you [then] would perish.وَمَا تِلْكَ بِيَمِينِكَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰAnd what is that in your right hand, O Moses?"قَالَ هِىَ عَصَاىَ أَتَوَكَّؤُا۟ عَلَيْهَا وَأَهُشُّ بِهَا عَلَىٰ غَنَمِى وَلِىَ فِيهَا مَـَٔارِبُ أُخْرَىٰHe said, "It is my staff; I lean upon it, and I bring down leaves for my sheep and I have therein other uses."قَالَ أَلْقِهَا يَـٰمُوسَىٰ[Allāh] said, "Throw it down, O Moses."فَأَلْقَىٰهَا فَإِذَا هِىَ حَيَّةٌ تَسْعَىٰSo he threw it down, and thereupon it was a snake, moving swiftly.قَالَ خُذْهَا وَلَا تَخَفْ سَنُعِيدُهَا سِيرَتَهَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ[Allāh] said, "Seize it and fear not; We will return it to its former condition.وَٱضْمُمْ يَدَكَ إِلَىٰ جَنَاحِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَآءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوٓءٍ ءَايَةً أُخْرَىٰAnd draw in your hand to your side; it will come out white without disease - another sign,لِنُرِيَكَ مِنْ ءَايَـٰتِنَا ٱلْكُبْرَىThat We may show you [some] of Our greater signs.ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰGo to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed [i.e., tyrannized]."قَالَ رَبِّ ٱشْرَحْ لِى صَدْرِى[Moses] said, "My Lord, expand [i.e., relax] for me my breast [with assurance]وَيَسِّرْ لِىٓ أَمْرِىAnd ease for me my taskوَٱحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِّن لِّسَانِىAnd untie the knot from my tongueيَفْقَهُوا۟ قَوْلِىThat they may understand my speech.وَٱجْعَل لِّى وَزِيرًا مِّنْ أَهْلِىAnd appoint for me a minister [i.e., assistant] from my family -هَـٰرُونَ أَخِىAaron, my brother.ٱشْدُدْ بِهِۦٓ أَزْرِىIncrease through him my strengthوَأَشْرِكْهُ فِىٓ أَمْرِىAnd let him share my taskكَىْ نُسَبِّحَكَ كَثِيرًاThat we may exalt You muchوَنَذْكُرَكَ كَثِيرًاAnd remember You much.إِنَّكَ كُنتَ بِنَا بَصِيرًاIndeed, You are of us ever Seeing."قَالَ قَدْ أُوتِيتَ سُؤْلَكَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ[Allāh] said, "You have been granted your request, O Moses.وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَيْكَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَىٰٓAnd We had already conferred favor upon you another time,
