Read Surah Taha

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

قَالَ اٰمَنْتُمْ لَهٗ قَبْلَ اَنْ اٰذَنَ لَكُمْ ؕ اِنَّهٗ لَكَبِیْرُكُمُ الَّذِیْ عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَ ۚ فَلَاُقَطِّعَنَّ اَیْدِیَكُمْ وَ اَرْجُلَكُمْ مِّنْ خِلَافٍ وَّ لَاُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ فِیْ جُذُوْعِ النَّخْلِ ؗ وَ لَتَعْلَمُنَّ اَیُّنَاۤ اَشَدُّ عَذَابًا وَّ اَبْقٰی۝۷۱

(The Pharaoh) said: "You have come to believe without my dispensation. Surely he is your chief who taught you magic. I will have your hands and feet cut off on alternate sides and crucify you on the trunks of date-palm trees. You will come to know whose punishment is harder and protracted."

قَالُوْا لَنْ نُّؤْثِرَكَ عَلٰی مَا جَآءَنَا مِنَ الْبَیِّنٰتِ وَ الَّذِیْ فَطَرَنَا فَاقْضِ مَاۤ اَنْتَ قَاضٍ ؕ اِنَّمَا تَقْضِیْ هٰذِهِ الْحَیٰوةَ الدُّنْیَاؕ۝۷۲

They replied: "We cannot choose you in the face of the clear testimony we have received, and over Him who created us. So do what you are determined to do. All that you would do will only be confined to our life on earth.

اِنَّاۤ اٰمَنَّا بِرَبِّنَا لِیَغْفِرَ لَنَا خَطٰیٰنَا وَ مَاۤ اَكْرَهْتَنَا عَلَیْهِ مِنَ السِّحْرِ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ خَیْرٌ وَّ اَبْقٰی۝۷۳

We have certainly come to believe in our Lord that He may forgive our trespasses and the magic you have forced us to perform, for God is nobler and abiding."

اِنَّهٗ مَنْ یَّاْتِ رَبَّهٗ مُجْرِمًا فَاِنَّ لَهٗ جَهَنَّمَ ؕ لَا یَمُوْتُ فِیْهَا وَ لَا یَحْیٰی۝۷۴

Surely for him who comes before his Lord a sinner shall be Hell, where he will neither die nor live.

وَ مَنْ یَّاْتِهٖ مُؤْمِنًا قَدْ عَمِلَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ لَهُمُ الدَّرَجٰتُ الْعُلٰیۙ۝۷۵

But whoever comes before Him a believer having done good deeds, will be raised to higher stations --

جَنّٰتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا ؕ وَ ذٰلِكَ جَزٰٓؤُا مَنْ تَزَكّٰی۠۝۷۶

Gardens of Eden with rippling streams, where he will live for ever. This is the recompense of those who achieve integrity.

وَ لَقَدْ اَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلٰی مُوْسٰۤی ۙ۬ اَنْ اَسْرِ بِعِبَادِیْ فَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ طَرِیْقًا فِی الْبَحْرِ یَبَسًا ۙ لَّا تَخٰفُ دَرَكًا وَّ لَا تَخْشٰی۝۷۷

We commanded Moses: "Journey by night with Our creatures, and strike a dry path for them through the sea. Do not fear being overtaken, nor have dread of any thing."

فَاَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ بِجُنُوْدِهٖ فَغَشِیَهُمْ مِّنَ الْیَمِّ مَا غَشِیَهُمْؕ۝۷۸

Then the Pharaoh followed them with his army, but the sea overpowered and engulfed them.

وَ اَضَلَّ فِرْعَوْنُ قَوْمَهٗ وَ مَا هَدٰی۝۷۹

The Pharaoh had led his people astray, and did not rightly guide them.

یٰبَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ قَدْ اَنْجَیْنٰكُمْ مِّنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ وَ وٰعَدْنٰكُمْ جَانِبَ الطُّوْرِ الْاَیْمَنَ وَ نَزَّلْنَا عَلَیْكُمُ الْمَنَّ وَ السَّلْوٰی۝۸۰

O children of Israel, We delivered you from your enemy, and made a covenant with you on the right side of the Mount, and sent down for you manna and quails,
