Umurongo: 13

وَأَنَا ٱخۡتَرۡتُكَ فَٱسۡتَمِعۡ لِمَا يُوحَىٰٓ

13. I have chosen you 'as My messenger', so listen to what is revealed:

Umurongo: 14

إِنَّنِيٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱعۡبُدۡنِي وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ لِذِكۡرِيٓ

14. Indeed, I am Allāh, there is no 'true' god except Me, so worship Me alone, and keep up the prayer for My Remembrance.

Umurongo: 15

إِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٌ أَكَادُ أُخۡفِيهَا لِتُجۡزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفۡسِۭ بِمَا تَسۡعَىٰ

15. The Hour 'of Doom' is certainly coming, and My Will is to keep it hidden, so that every soul may be recompensed for that which it strives for 'in life'.

Umurongo: 16

فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكَ عَنۡهَا مَن لَّا يُؤۡمِنُ بِهَا وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ فَتَرۡدَىٰ

16. So do not let turn you away from it 'one' who does not believe in it and follows his low desires, for you then would perish4."

4. Moses, who was raised in Pharaoh’s palace and had a promising future, fled Egypt and was living in obscurity as a shepherd when Allāh called him. Moses must have thought he had nothing to offer Allāh, but he learned that Allāh can use anyone and anything for His glory. We don’t need much to be used by Allāh. We can simply serve Him with the talents He has given us. 

Umurongo: 17

وَمَا تِلۡكَ بِيَمِينِكَ يَٰمُوسَىٰ

17. What is that in your right hand, Moses?

Umurongo: 18

قَالَ هِيَ عَصَايَ أَتَوَكَّؤُاْ عَلَيۡهَا وَأَهُشُّ بِهَا عَلَىٰ غَنَمِي وَلِيَ فِيهَا مَـَٔارِبُ أُخۡرَىٰ

18. 'Moses' replied: "It is my staff. I lean on it, bring down leaves for my sheep with it, and I need it for other reasons ."

Umurongo: 19

قَالَ أَلۡقِهَا يَٰمُوسَىٰ

19. 'Allāh' said: "Cast it down, Moses".

Umurongo: 20

فَأَلۡقَىٰهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ حَيَّةٞ تَسۡعَىٰ

20. So he cast it down; and at once it was a snake moving rapidly.

Umurongo: 21

قَالَ خُذۡهَا وَلَا تَخَفۡۖ سَنُعِيدُهَا سِيرَتَهَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ

21. 'Allāh' said: "Take it and fear not; We shall restore it to its former state.

Umurongo: 22

وَٱضۡمُمۡ يَدَكَ إِلَىٰ جَنَاحِكَ تَخۡرُجۡ بَيۡضَآءَ مِنۡ غَيۡرِ سُوٓءٍ ءَايَةً أُخۡرَىٰ

22. And place your hand into your side, it will come out 'shining' white, unblemished, as another Sign;

Umurongo: 23

لِنُرِيَكَ مِنۡ ءَايَٰتِنَا ٱلۡكُبۡرَى

23. That We may show you some of Our Greater signs:

Umurongo: 24

ٱذۡهَبۡ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ

24. Go to Pharaoh, for he has transgressed.

Umurongo: 25

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱشۡرَحۡ لِي صَدۡرِي

25. Moses prayed: "Lord, expand for me my chest 'grant me contentment, boldness,etc'.

Umurongo: 26

وَيَسِّرۡ لِيٓ أَمۡرِي

26. Make my task easy for me,

Umurongo: 27

وَٱحۡلُلۡ عُقۡدَةٗ مِّن لِّسَانِي

27. And loosen the knot from my tongue,

Umurongo: 28

يَفۡقَهُواْ قَوۡلِي

28. That they may understand my speech;

Umurongo: 29

وَٱجۡعَل لِّي وَزِيرٗا مِّنۡ أَهۡلِي

29. And appoint for me a helper from my family:

Umurongo: 30

هَٰرُونَ أَخِي

30. Aaron, my brother,

Umurongo: 31

ٱشۡدُدۡ بِهِۦٓ أَزۡرِي

31. Strength by him my back,

Umurongo: 32

وَأَشۡرِكۡهُ فِيٓ أَمۡرِي

32. And let him share my task,

Umurongo: 33

كَيۡ نُسَبِّحَكَ كَثِيرٗا

33. So that we may glorify You much5.

5. By negating likeness, partners, and whatever it is inappropriate to you.

Umurongo: 34

وَنَذۡكُرَكَ كَثِيرًا

34. And remember You often6.

6. With honor and praise, so that You may be Pleased with us.

Umurongo: 35

إِنَّكَ كُنتَ بِنَا بَصِيرٗا

35. Indeed, You are ever Seeing of us."

Umurongo: 36

قَالَ قَدۡ أُوتِيتَ سُؤۡلَكَ يَٰمُوسَىٰ

36. 'Allāh' said: "You have been granted your request, O Moses.

Umurongo: 37

وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلَيۡكَ مَرَّةً أُخۡرَىٰٓ

37. Indeed, We bestowed on you a favor at another time;
