فَلَمَّاۤ اَلْقَوْا قَالَ مُوْسٰی مَا جِئْتُمْ بِهِ ۙ السِّحْرُ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَیُبْطِلُهٗ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یُصْلِحُ عَمَلَ الْمُفْسِدِیْنَ۝۸۱

When they had cast (their spell) Moses said: "What you have cast is only a charm which God will surely nullify. God does not verily render the deeds of evil-doers righteous.

وَ یُحِقُّ اللّٰهُ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِمٰتِهٖ وَ لَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ۠۝۸۲

God vindicates the truth by His commands, however the sinners may dislike it."

فَمَاۤ اٰمَنَ لِمُوْسٰۤی اِلَّا ذُرِّیَّةٌ مِّنْ قَوْمِهٖ عَلٰی خَوْفٍ مِّنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَ مَلَاۡىِٕهِمْ اَنْ یَّفْتِنَهُمْ ؕ وَ اِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ لَعَالٍ فِی الْاَرْضِ ۚ وَ اِنَّهٗ لَمِنَ الْمُسْرِفِیْنَ۝۸۳

But none of them put faith in Moses except some youths among his people who were nonetheless afraid lest the Pharaoh and his nobles should persecute them; for the Pharaoh was mighty in the land, and guilty of excesses.

وَ قَالَ مُوْسٰی یٰقَوْمِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ اٰمَنْتُمْ بِاللّٰهِ فَعَلَیْهِ تَوَكَّلُوْۤا اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّسْلِمِیْنَ۝۸۴

Moses said: "O my people, if you do believe in God place your trust in Him if you are obedient."

فَقَالُوْا عَلَی اللّٰهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةً لِّلْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِیْنَۙ۝۸۵

They answered: "We have placed our trust in God. O Lord, do not make us a target of oppression for these tyrannical people,

وَ نَجِّنَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ۝۸۶

And deliver us by Your grace from a people who do not believe."

وَ اَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلٰی مُوْسٰی وَ اَخِیْهِ اَنْ تَبَوَّاٰ لِقَوْمِكُمَا بِمِصْرَ بُیُوْتًا وَّ اجْعَلُوْا بُیُوْتَكُمْ قِبْلَةً وَّ اَقِیْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ ؕ وَ بَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ۝۸۷

We commanded Moses and his brother: "Build homes for your people in Egypt, and make your houses places of worship, perform your acts of prayer and give happy tidings to those who believe."

وَ قَالَ مُوْسٰی رَبَّنَاۤ اِنَّكَ اٰتَیْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَ مَلَاَهٗ زِیْنَةً وَّ اَمْوَالًا فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا ۙ رَبَّنَا لِیُضِلُّوْا عَنْ سَبِیْلِكَ ۚ رَبَّنَا اطْمِسْ عَلٰۤی اَمْوَالِهِمْ وَ اشْدُدْ عَلٰی قُلُوْبِهِمْ فَلَا یُؤْمِنُوْا حَتّٰی یَرَوُا الْعَذَابَ الْاَلِیْمَ۝۸۸

And Moses said: "O Lord, have You bestowed on the Pharaoh and his nobles pomp and plenty in the life of this world that they might mislead people from Your path? Destroy their possessions, O Lord, and harden their hearts that they may not believe until they face the painful punishment."

قَالَ قَدْ اُجِیْبَتْ دَّعْوَتُكُمَا فَاسْتَقِیْمَا وَ لَا تَتَّبِعٰٓنِّ سَبِیْلَ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۸۹

Said (the Lord): "Your prayer is answered. Therefore persist and do not follow the path of those who are ignorant."

وَ جٰوَزْنَا بِبَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ الْبَحْرَ فَاَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ وَ جُنُوْدُهٗ بَغْیًا وَّ عَدْوًا ؕ حَتّٰۤی اِذَاۤ اَدْرَكَهُ الْغَرَقُ ۙ قَالَ اٰمَنْتُ اَنَّهٗ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا الَّذِیْۤ اٰمَنَتْ بِهٖ بَنُوْۤا اِسْرَآءِیْلَ وَ اَنَا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِیْنَ۝۹۰

And We brought the people of Israel across the sea, but the Pharaoh and his army pursued them wickedly and maliciously till he was on the point of drowning, and he said: "I believe that there is no god but He in whom the people of Israel believe, and I submit to Him."
