طسٓمٓ

1. Ta Seen Meem¹.

1. See footnote to Qur’an chapter2: Verse1.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 2

تِلۡكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ٱلۡمُبِينِ

2. These are the Verses of the clear Book².

2. The clear Book is the Qur’an whose verses are clear with regards to its language and rulings, and all its meanings. A Book whose Truth is evident and which clears up that which is indefinite and inexact.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 3

لَعَلَّكَ بَٰخِعٞ نَّفۡسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ

3. Perhaps you are grieving yourself that they do not become believers.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 4

إِن نَّشَأۡ نُنَزِّلۡ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةٗ فَظَلَّتۡ أَعۡنَٰقُهُمۡ لَهَا خَٰضِعِينَ

4. If We will, We could send down upon them from the sky a Sign to which they would bend their necks in humility.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 5

وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن ذِكۡرٖ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ مُحۡدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ عَنۡهُ مُعۡرِضِينَ

5. Whenever a new Reminder 'revelation' comes to them from 'Allāh' the Most Compassionate, they turn away from it.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 6

فَقَدۡ كَذَّبُواْ فَسَيَأۡتِيهِمۡ أَنۢبَٰٓؤُاْ مَا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ

6. So they have indeed denied "this Qur’an', so the news of that which they mock shall soon come to them.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 7

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَمۡ أَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجٖ كَرِيمٍ

7. Do they not see the earth, how many of every kind of plants We have caused to grow therein?

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 8

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

8. In this there is certainly a sign.Yet most of them would not believe.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 9

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

9. And indeed your Lord 'Allāh' is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 10

وَإِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئۡتِ ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

10. 'Mention' when 'Allāh' your Lord called out to Moses, saying: "Go to the unjust people,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 11

قَوۡمَ فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ

11. The people of Pharaoh: Will they not fear Allāh and shun evil?"

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 12

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ

12. 'Moses' said: "My Lord 'Allah', I fear that they will deny me.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 13

وَيَضِيقُ صَدۡرِي وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِي فَأَرۡسِلۡ إِلَىٰ هَٰرُونَ

13. Then my chest straitens, also my tongue is not fluent, so send Aaron 'to help me'.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 14

وَلَهُمۡ عَلَيَّ ذَنۢبٞ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقۡتُلُونِ

14. Moreover, they have a charge 'of murder' against me, so I fear that they may kill me."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 15

قَالَ كَلَّاۖ فَٱذۡهَبَا بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسۡتَمِعُونَ

15. 'Allāh' said: "No. Go you both with Our signs; We are with you, listening".

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 16

فَأۡتِيَا فِرۡعَوۡنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

16. Then come to Pharaoh and say: "We are the messengers of 'Allāh' the Lord of all beings.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 17

أَنۡ أَرۡسِلۡ مَعَنَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

17. So send the children of Israel with us.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 18

قَالَ أَلَمۡ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدٗا وَلَبِثۡتَ فِينَا مِنۡ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ

18. 'Pharaoh' said: "Did we not raise you as a child among us, and you stayed 'many' years of your life in our care?

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 19

وَفَعَلۡتَ فَعۡلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِي فَعَلۡتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

19. 'Then' you committed 'that' crime of yours which you committed 'i.e., killing a man', and you are so ungrateful."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 20

قَالَ فَعَلۡتُهَآ إِذٗا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

20. 'Moses' said: "I did it then when I was ignorant (concerning Allāh and His message). 

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 21

فَفَرَرۡتُ مِنكُمۡ لَمَّا خِفۡتُكُمۡ فَوَهَبَ لِي رَبِّي حُكۡمٗا وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

21. So I fled from you when I feared you, then my Lord 'Allāh' granted me sound judgment and appointed me as one of the Messengers.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 22

وَتِلۡكَ نِعۡمَةٞ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَيَّ أَنۡ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

22. How that can be a favor of which you remind me, when you have enslaved the children of Israel3?

3. When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself. 

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 23

قَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

23. Pharaoh said: "What is the Lord of the universe?"

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 24

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ

24. 'Moses' said: 'Allāh is the true' Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if you seek to be convinced with certainty."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 25

قَالَ لِمَنۡ حَوۡلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسۡتَمِعُونَ

25. 'Pharaoh' said to those around him: "Do you not hear 'what he says'?"

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 26

قَالَ رَبُّكُمۡ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

26. 'Moses' said: 'He is also' your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 27

قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِيٓ أُرۡسِلَ إِلَيۡكُمۡ لَمَجۡنُونٞ

27. 'Pharaoh' said: "Your messenger who is sent to you is certainly out of his mind."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 28

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقِ وَٱلۡمَغۡرِبِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآۖ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ

28. 'Moses' said: 'Allāh is the' Lord of the East and the West and what is between them, if only you had sense."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 29

قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذۡتَ إِلَٰهًا غَيۡرِي لَأَجۡعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمَسۡجُونِينَ

29. 'Pharaoh' said: "If you will take a god other than me, I will certainly place you among those imprisoned."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 30

قَالَ أَوَلَوۡ جِئۡتُكَ بِشَيۡءٖ مُّبِينٖ

30. 'Moses' said: "Even if I bring you manifest 'and convincing' proof?"

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 31

قَالَ فَأۡتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ

31. 'Pharaoh' said: "Bring it then, if you are truthful."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 32

فَأَلۡقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ ثُعۡبَانٞ مُّبِينٞ

32. So 'Moses' cast down his staff, and at once it was a manifest snake,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 33

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِيَ بَيۡضَآءُ لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ

33. Then he drew out his hand, and at once it was shining white to the beholders.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 34

قَالَ لِلۡمَلَإِ حَوۡلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٞ

34. Pharaoh said to the council around him: "This is certainly a skillful sorcerer,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 35

يُرِيدُ أَن يُخۡرِجَكُم مِّنۡ أَرۡضِكُم بِسِحۡرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأۡمُرُونَ

35. He wants to drive you out of your land with his sorcery. What is it then that you advise?"

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 36

قَالُوٓاْ أَرۡجِهۡ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبۡعَثۡ فِي ٱلۡمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ

36. They said: "Give him 'Moses' and his brother 'Aaron' respite and send callers into the cities,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 37

يَأۡتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٖ

37. to bring you every skillful magician."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 38

فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَٰتِ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ

38. So the magicians were assembled together at appointed time on a known day,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 39

وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّجۡتَمِعُونَ

39. It was told to the people: "Will you also join the assembly?

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 40

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ

40. That we may follow the magicians, if they are the winners."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 41

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُواْ لِفِرۡعَوۡنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجۡرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ

41. So when the magicians came, they said to Pharaoh: "Will there be any reward for us if we are the winners?"

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 42

قَالَ نَعَمۡ وَإِنَّكُمۡ إِذٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِينَ

42. He said: "Yes, and you will then certainly be of those near 'to me'."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 43

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلۡقُواْ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلۡقُونَ

43. Moses said to them: "Cast what you are going to cast."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 44

فَأَلۡقَوۡاْ حِبَالَهُمۡ وَعِصِيَّهُمۡ وَقَالُواْ بِعِزَّةِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ

44. They cast down their ropes and their staffs and said: "By Pharaoh’s power, we shall certainly be winners."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 45

فَأَلۡقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلۡقَفُ مَا يَأۡفِكُونَ

45. Then Moses cast down his staff and at once it devoured what they had invented.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 46

فَأُلۡقِيَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَٰجِدِينَ

46. So the magicians fell down, prostrating.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 47

قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

47. They said: "We believe in 'Allāh' the Lord of all beings.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 48

رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

48. Lord of Moses and Aaron."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 49

قَالَ ءَامَنتُمۡ لَهُۥ قَبۡلَ أَنۡ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحۡرَ فَلَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيۡدِيَكُمۡ وَأَرۡجُلَكُم مِّنۡ خِلَٰفٖ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ

49. 'Pharaoh' said: "How dare you believe in him before I give you permission. He 'Moses' is certainly your chief who taught you the magic, so you shall soon come to know: I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you all."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 50

قَالُواْ لَا ضَيۡرَۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ

50. They said: "No harm 'we do not care'; for we will surely return to 'Allāh, our Lord;

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 51

إِنَّا نَطۡمَعُ أَن يَغۡفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

51. We really hope that 'Allāh' our Lord will forgive us our sins - as we are the first to believe."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 52

۞ وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنۡ أَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِيٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

52. And we inspired to Moses, 'saying': "Travel by night with My servants, for you will surely be pursued."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 53

فَأَرۡسَلَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ فِي ٱلۡمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ

53. So Pharaoh sent callers to all the cities;

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 54

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرۡذِمَةٞ قَلِيلُونَ

54. 'bidding them to call out his troops and to proclaim': these 'Israelites' are a small band;

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 55

وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ

55. And indeed, They are enraging us;

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 56

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ

56. But we are all on the alert."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 57

فَأَخۡرَجۡنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّٰتٖ وَعُيُونٖ

57. So We drove them out of 'their' gardens and springs,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 58

وَكُنُوزٖ وَمَقَامٖ كَرِيمٖ

58. treasures and a noble station,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 59

كَذَٰلِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَٰهَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

59. So it was, and We caused to inherit it the children of Israel.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 60

فَأَتۡبَعُوهُم مُّشۡرِقِينَ

60. They (Pharaoh and his army) pursued them at sunrise.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 61

فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِ قَالَ أَصۡحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدۡرَكُونَ

61. When the two multitudes saw each other, the companions of Moses cried out: "We are certainly been overtaken."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 62

قَالَ كَلَّآۖ إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ

62. 'Moses' said: "No, 'Allāh' my Lord is certainly with me - He will guide me."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 63

فَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضۡرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرۡقٖ كَٱلطَّوۡدِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

63. We inspired to Moses: "Strike the sea with your staff." So it parted, each part was like a huge, firm mass of mountain.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 64

وَأَزۡلَفۡنَا ثَمَّ ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

64. Then We brought the others (Pharaoh's army) near there.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 65

وَأَنجَيۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ

65. We delivered Moses and those with him, all together.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 66

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

66. Then We drowned the others.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 67

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

67. In this there is certainly a sign.Yet most of them would not believe.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 68

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

68. And indeed your Lord 'Allāh' is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 69

وَٱتۡلُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ نَبَأَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

69. Relate to them 'O prophet Muhammad' the story of Abraham.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 70

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

70. When he said to his father and his people: "What do you worship?"

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 71

قَالُواْ نَعۡبُدُ أَصۡنَامٗا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَٰكِفِينَ

71. They said: "We worship idols, and to them we are ever devoted."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 72

قَالَ هَلۡ يَسۡمَعُونَكُمۡ إِذۡ تَدۡعُونَ

72. He said: "Do they hear you when you call on them?

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 73

أَوۡ يَنفَعُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ يَضُرُّونَ

73. Or do they benefit you or can cause you harm?"

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 74

قَالُواْ بَلۡ وَجَدۡنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفۡعَلُونَ

74. They said: "No, but we found our fathers doing so."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 75

قَالَ أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُونَ

75. He said: "Have you then considered what you have been worshiping,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 76

أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلۡأَقۡدَمُونَ

76. you and your ancestors?

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 77

فَإِنَّهُمۡ عَدُوّٞ لِّيٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

77. They are 'all' enemies to me, except 'Allāh' the Lord of all beings,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 78

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَهُوَ يَهۡدِينِ

78. Who created me, and it is He Who guides me.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 79

وَٱلَّذِي هُوَ يُطۡعِمُنِي وَيَسۡقِينِ

79. It is He 'Allāh' Who feeds me and gives me drink:

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 80

وَإِذَا مَرِضۡتُ فَهُوَ يَشۡفِينِ

80. When I get sick, He 'Allāh' heals me4.

4. These are the words of the prophet Abraham, being conscious of his own impotency to cure and heal himself; and being fully satisfied of the power of Allāh to cure and heal him. Sins are also diseases, and healing them lies in the forgiveness of them, which Allāh only can grant. The famous story of the boy and the king recorded in the Sunnah, when the king’s courtier asks the boy to cure his blindness, the boy retorts: “Verily, I cure no one. Only Allāh 'Exalted is He' Who cures. If you believe in Allāh, I will supplicate to Allāh and He will cure you.”
Hence, while the supplication was a means of curing the blindness, the real doer was Allāh alone. By making this known to the courtier, the boy instilled in him the reality of Monotheism. However, this does not mean the action (in this case, healing) cannot be ascribed to the means (in this case, the boy or his supplication). It is correct to make this ascription, as long as the belief that the effort is not the real cause is firmly understood. Jesus also cured the blind and the leprosy and raised from the dead all by Allah's permission and not from Himself. Jesus is nothing without the help of his God and Lord, Allāh and cannot do anything.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 81

وَٱلَّذِي يُمِيتُنِي ثُمَّ يُحۡيِينِ

81. It is He 'Allāh' Who will cause me to die5, and then bring me back to life again;

5 . The prophet Muhammad said, “One who accompanies the funeral of a Muslim with faith and hope of earning reward, and remains with it until the burial is complete, shall return (home) with two qirat (great) rewards. Each reward is equal to Mount Uhud, and the person who performs the funeral prayer only, and returns before the burial, will return with one qirat (great) reward”.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 82

وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَطۡمَعُ أَن يَغۡفِرَ لِي خَطِيٓـَٔتِي يَوۡمَ ٱلدِّينِ

82. It is He 'Allāh' Whom I hope to forgive my flaws on the Day of Recompense.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 83

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي حُكۡمٗا وَأَلۡحِقۡنِي بِٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

83. My Lord 'Allāh', grant me sound judgment, and join me with the righteous.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 84

وَٱجۡعَل لِّي لِسَانَ صِدۡقٖ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

84. Give me a good reputation of truth among later generations.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 85

وَٱجۡعَلۡنِي مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

85. Place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Bliss.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 86

وَٱغۡفِرۡ لِأَبِيٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

86. Forgive my father, for he has gone astray;

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 87

وَلَا تُخۡزِنِي يَوۡمَ يُبۡعَثُونَ

87. Do not disgrace me on the Day when all shall be raised up 'from the dead'.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 88

يَوۡمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٞ وَلَا بَنُونَ

88. The Day when neither wealth nor children will benefit 'anyone',

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 89

إِلَّا مَنۡ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٖ

89. Except him who comes to Allāh with a sound 'pure' heart6.

6. Free from pride, haughtiness and hypocrisy. Our hearts can shape our lives and relationships. A corrupt heart brings trouble and suffering, while a cheerful heart is good medicine.

119. So We delivered him and those with him in the laden ark9.

9. During Noah's time we see everyone has turned their back on Allāh, except Noah; he worshipped and loved Allāh. Perhaps his amazing obedience was found in his heart of gratitude and what saved and set him and his family apart from those who were wiped out in the great flood. Allāh described him as grateful servant. The Qur’an tells us the people of this time were full of evil and sin, that is why Allāh sent the flood. If the opposite of joyful is sad and the opposite of commitment is refusal, could it be that the people of Noah’s time sadly refused their commitment to Allāh. The root of all sin is ingratitude; it certainly seems to be a great place for the Satan to get a foothold as he did in every person but Noah during this time.
Abraham, the father of many generations, was one whose heart of gratitude almost cost him the life of his beloved son, but Allāh spared Ismael. His commitment to Allāh was greater than any other thing, even his own son. Allāh sparing Ismael shows us how He blessed Abraham’s obedience. Even when he questioned, even when he sought assurance, obedience flowed from Abraham’s heart of gratitude.
We find Moses and the Israelites singing a song of deliverance and praise after Allāh led the Israelites out of Egypt and saved them by parting the Red Sea.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 137
