Read Surah Al-Qasas

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

وَ اَنْ اَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ؕ فَلَمَّا رَاٰهَا تَهْتَزُّ كَاَنَّهَا جَآنٌّ وَّلّٰی مُدْبِرًا وَّ لَمْ یُعَقِّبْ ؕ یٰمُوْسٰۤی اَقْبِلْ وَ لَا تَخَفْ ۫ اِنَّكَ مِنَ الْاٰمِنِیْنَ۝۳۱

Throw down your staff." When he saw it wriggling like a serpent, he turned about and fled without turning. "O Moses, approach," (said the Voice), "and have no fear. You will be safe.

اُسْلُكْ یَدَكَ فِیْ جَیْبِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَیْضَآءَ مِنْ غَیْرِ سُوْٓءٍ ؗ وَّ اضْمُمْ اِلَیْكَ جَنَاحَكَ مِنَ الرَّهْبِ فَذٰنِكَ بُرْهَانٰنِ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ اِلٰی فِرْعَوْنَ وَ مَلَاۡىِٕهٖ ؕ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا قَوْمًا فٰسِقِیْنَ۝۳۲

Put your hand inside your shirt. It will come out white without a tarnish of blame; and do not be perturbed or afraid. These are two proofs from your Lord for the Pharaoh and his nobles. They are certainly a rebellious people."

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّیْ قَتَلْتُ مِنْهُمْ نَفْسًا فَاَخَافُ اَنْ یَّقْتُلُوْنِ۝۳۳

He said: "O Lord, I have killed a man of theirs, and fear they would kill me.

وَ اَخِیْ هٰرُوْنُ هُوَ اَفْصَحُ مِنِّیْ لِسَانًا فَاَرْسِلْهُ مَعِیَ رِدْاً یُّصَدِّقُنِیْۤ ؗ اِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ اَنْ یُّكَذِّبُوْنِ۝۳۴

So send my brother Aaron with me as helper for he is more fluent than I with words, that he should affirm me, for I fear that they would call me a liar."

قَالَ سَنَشُدُّ عَضُدَكَ بِاَخِیْكَ وَ نَجْعَلُ لَكُمَا سُلْطٰنًا فَلَا یَصِلُوْنَ اِلَیْكُمَا ۛۚ بِاٰیٰتِنَاۤ ۛۚ اَنْتُمَا وَ مَنِ اتَّبَعَكُمَا الْغٰلِبُوْنَ۝۳۵

(And) God said: "We shall strengthen your arm with your brother, and give you power with Our signs and give you authority, so that they will not be able to harm you. Both of you and your followers will be victorious."

فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ مُّوْسٰی بِاٰیٰتِنَا بَیِّنٰتٍ قَالُوْا مَا هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّفْتَرًی وَّ مَا سَمِعْنَا بِهٰذَا فِیْۤ اٰبَآىِٕنَا الْاَوَّلِیْنَ۝۳۶

But when Moses came to them with Our clear signs they said: "This is nothing but magic he has contrived, for we have not heard of this from our fathers of old."

وَ قَالَ مُوْسٰی رَبِّیْۤ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ جَآءَ بِالْهُدٰی مِنْ عِنْدِهٖ وَ مَنْ تَكُوْنُ لَهٗ عَاقِبَةُ الدَّارِ ؕ اِنَّهٗ لَا یُفْلِحُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ۝۳۷

But Moses said: "My Lord knows well who has come with guidance from Him, and for whom is the guerdon of Paradise. But surely the wicked will not prosper."

وَ قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ یٰۤاَیُّهَا الْمَلَاُ مَا عَلِمْتُ لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَیْرِیْ ۚ فَاَوْقِدْ لِیْ یٰهَامٰنُ عَلَی الطِّیْنِ فَاجْعَلْ لِّیْ صَرْحًا لَّعَلِّیْۤ اَطَّلِعُ اِلٰۤی اِلٰهِ مُوْسٰی ۙ وَ اِنِّیْ لَاَظُنُّهٗ مِنَ الْكٰذِبِیْنَ۝۳۸

The Pharaoh said: "O nobles, I am not aware of any other lord of yours but myself. So, O Haman, fire some clay (bricks) to build a tower for me that I may mount up (and see) the God of Moses; for I think he is a liar."

وَ اسْتَكْبَرَ هُوَ وَ جُنُوْدُهٗ فِی الْاَرْضِ بِغَیْرِ الْحَقِّ وَ ظَنُّوْۤا اَنَّهُمْ اِلَیْنَا لَا یُرْجَعُوْنَ۝۳۹

He and his soldiers had become arrogant in the land for no reason, and did not think that they have to come back to Us in the end.

فَاَخَذْنٰهُ وَ جُنُوْدَهٗ فَنَبَذْنٰهُمْ فِی الْیَمِّ ۚ فَانْظُرْ كَیْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ۝۴۰

So We seized him and his hordes and threw them into the sea. Behold then how was the end of the wicked!
