He said: These are my daughters, if you will do (aught).

Then on the resurrection day He will bring them to disgrace and say: Where are the associates you gave Me, for whose sake you became hostile? Those who are given the knowledge will say: Surely the disgrace and the evil are this day upon the unbelievers:

And they who give associates (to Allah) say: If Allah had pleased, we would not have served anything besides Allah, (neither) we nor our fathers, nor would we have prohibited anything without (order from) Him. Thus did those before them; is then aught incumbent upon the messengers except a plain delivery (of the message)?

And Allah has said: Take not two gods, He is only one Allah; so of Me alone should you be afraid.

And when We said to the angels: Make obeisance to Adam; they made obeisance, but Iblis (did it not). He said: Shall I make obeisance to him whom Thou hast created of dust?

He said: Tell me, is this he whom Thou hast honored above me? If Thou shouldst respite me to the day of resurrection, I will most certainly cause his progeny to perish except a few.

He said: Be gone! for whoever of them will follow you, then surely hell is your recompense, a full recompense:

And certainly We gave Musa nine clear signs; so ask the children of Israel. When he came to them, Firon said to him: Most surely I deem you, O Musa, to be a man deprived of reason.

He said: Truly you know that none but the Lord of the heavens and the earth has sent down these as clear proof and most surely I believe you, O Firon, to be given over to perdition.

And thus did We rouse them that they might question each other. A speaker among them said: How long have you tarried? They said: We have tarried for a day or a part of a day. (Others) said: Your Lord knows best how long you have tarried. Now send one of you with this silver (coin) of yours to the city, then let him see which of them has purest food, so let him bring you provision from it, and let him behave with gentleness, and by no means make your case known to any one:

And thus did We make (men) to get knowledge of them that they might know that Allah's promise is true and that as for the hour there is no doubt about it. When they disputed among themselves about their affair and said: Erect an edifice over them-- their Lord best knows them. Those who prevailed in their affair said: We will certainly raise a masjid over them.

And he possessed much wealth; so he said to his companion, while he disputed with him: I have greater wealth than you, and am mightier in followers.

And he entered his garden while he was unjust to himself. He said: I do not think that this will ever perish

His companion said to him while disputing with him: Do you disbelieve in Him Who created you from dust, then from a small seed, then He made you a perfect man?

And when Musa said to his servant: I will not cease until I reach the junction of the two rivers or I will go on for years.

But when they had gone farther, he said to his servant: Bring to us our morning meal, certainly we have met with fatigue from this our journey.

He said: Did you see when we took refuge on the rock then I forgot the fish, and nothing made me forget to speak of it but the Shaitan, and it took its way into the river; what a wonder!

He said: This is what we sought for; so they returned retracing their footsteps.

Musa said to him: Shall I follow you on condition that you should teach me right knowledge of what you have been taught?

He said: Surely you cannot have patience with me

He said: If Allah pleases, you will find me patient and I shall not disobey you in any matter.

He said: If you would follow me, then do not question me about any thing until I myself speak to you about it

So they went (their way) until when they embarked in the boat he made a hole in it. (Musa) said: Have you made a hole in it to drown its inmates? Certainly you have done a grievous thing.

He said: Did I not say that you will not be able to have patience with me?

He said: Blame me not for what I forgot, and do not constrain me to a difficult thing in my affair.

So they went on until, when they met a boy, he slew him. (Musa) said: Have you slain an innocent person otherwise than for manslaughter? Certainly you have done an evil thing.

He said: Did I not say to you that you will not be able to have patience with me?

He said: If I ask you about anything after this, keep me not in your company; indeed you shall have (then) found an excuse in my case.

So they went on until when they came to the people of a town, they asked them for food, but they refused to entertain them as guests. Then they found in it a wall which was on the point of falling, so he put it into a right state. (Musa) said: If you had pleased, you might certainly have taken a recompense for it.

He said: This shall be separation between me and you; now I will inform you of the significance of that with which you could not have patience.

He said: As to him who is injust, we will chastise him, then shall he be returned to his Lord, and He will chastise him with an exemplary chastisement:

He said: That in which my Lord has established me is better, therefore you only help me with workers, I will make a fortified barrier between you and them;

Bring me blocks of iron; until when he had filled up the space between the two mountain sides, he said: Blow, until when he had made it (as) fire, he said: Bring me molten brass which I may pour over it.

He said: This is a mercy from my Lord, but when the promise of my Lord comes to pass He will make it level with the ground, and the promise of my Lord is ever true.

He said: My Lord! surely my bones are weakened and my head flares with hoariness, and, my Lord! I have never been unsuccessful in my prayer to Thee:

He said: O my Lord! when shall I have a son, and my wife is barren, and I myself have reached indeed the extreme degree of old age?

He said: So shall it be, your Lord says: It is easy to Me, and indeed I created you before, when you were nothing.

He said: My Lord! give me a sign. He said: Your sign is that you will not be able to speak to the people three nights while in sound health.

He said: I am only a messenger of your Lord: That I will give you a pure boy.

He said: Even so; your Lord says: It is easy to Me: and that We may make him a sign to men and a mercy from Us, and it is a matter which has been decreed.

He said: Surely I am a servant of Allah; He has given me the Book and made me a prophet;

When he said to his father; O my father! why do you worship what neither hears nor sees, nor does it avail you in the least:

He said: Do you dislike my gods, O Ibrahim? If you do not desist I will certainly revile you, and leave me for a time.

He said: Peace be on you, I will pray to my Lord to forgive you; surely He is ever Affectionate to me:

And when Our clear communications are recited to them, those who disbelieve say to those who believe: Which of the two parties is best in abiding and best in assembly?

Have you, then, seen him who disbelieves in Our communications and says: I shall certainly be given wealth and children?

When he saw fire, he said to his family: Stop, for surely I see a fire, haply I may bring to you therefrom a live coal or find a guidance at the fire.

He said: This is my staff: I recline on it and I beat the leaves with it to make them fall upon my sheep, and I have other uses for it.

He said: Cast it down, O Musa!

He said: Take hold of it and fear not; We will restore it to its former state:

He said: O my Lord! Expand my breast for me,

He said: You are indeed granted your petition, O Musa

He said: Fear not, surely I am with you both: I do hear and see.

(Firon) said: And who is your Lord, O Musa?

He said: Our Lord is He Who gave to everything its creation, then guided it (to its goal).

He said: Then what is the state of the former generations?

He said: The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a book, my Lord errs not, nor does He forget;

Said he: Have you come to us that you should turn us out of our land by your magic, O Musa?

(Musa) said: Your appointment is the day of the Festival and let the people be gathered together in the early forenoon.

Musa said to them: Woe to you! do not forge a lie against Allah, lest He destroy you by a punishment, and he who forges (a lie) indeed fails to attain (his desire).

He said: Nay! cast down. then lo! their cords and their rods-- it was imaged to him on account of their magic as if they were running.

(Firon) said: You believe in him before I give you leave; most surely he is the chief of you who taught you enchantment, therefore I will certainly cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will certainly crucify you on the trunks of the palm trees, and certainly you will come to know which of us is the more severe and the more abiding in chastising.

He said: They are here on my track and I hastened on to Thee, my Lord, that Thou mightest be pleased.

He said: So surely We have tried your people after you, and the Samiri has led them astray.

So Musa returned to his people wrathful, sorrowing. Said he: O my people! did not your Lord promise you a goodly promise: did then the time seem long to you, or did you wish that displeasure from your Lord should be due to you, so that you broke (your) promise to me?

And certainly Haroun had said to them before: O my people! you are only tried by it, and surely your Lord is the Beneficent Allah, therefore follow me and obey my order.

(Musa) said: O Haroun! what prevented you, when you saw them going astray,

He said: O son of my mother! seize me not by my beard nor by my head; surely I was afraid lest you should say: You have caused a division among the children of Israel and not waited for my word.

He said: What was then your object, O Samiri?

He said: I saw (Jibreel) what they did not see, so I took a handful (of the dust) from the footsteps of the messenger, then I threw it in the casting; thus did my soul commend to me

He said: Begone then, surely for you it will be in this life to say, Touch (me) not; and surely there is a threat for you, which shall not be made to fail to you, and look at your god to whose worship you kept (so long); we will certainly burn it, then we will certainly scatter it a (wide) scattering in the sea.

But the Shaitan made an evil suggestion to him; he said: O Adam! Shall I guide you to the tree of immortality and a kingdom which decays not?

He said: Get forth you two therefrom, all (of you), one of you (is) enemy to another. So there will surely come to you guidance from Me, then whoever follows My guidance, he shall not go astray nor be unhappy;

He shall say: My Lord! why hast Thou raised me blind and I was a seeing one indeed?

He will say: Even so, Our communications came to you but you neglected them; even thus shall you be forsaken this day.

He said: My Lord knows what is spoken in the heaven and the earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

When he said to his father and his people: What are these images to whose worship you cleave?

He said: Certainly you have been, (both) you and your fathers, in manifest error.

He said: Nay! your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Who brought them into existence, and I am of those who bear witness to this:

He said: Surely (some doer) has done it; the chief of them is this, therefore ask them, if they can speak.

He said: What! do you then serve besides Allah what brings you not any benefit at all, nor does it harm you?

And certainly We sent Nuh to his people, and he said: O my people! serve Allah, you have no god other than Him; will you not then guard (against evil)?

And the chiefs of those who disbelieved from among his people said: He is nothing but a mortal like yourselves who desires that he may have superiority over you, and if Allah had pleased, He could certainly have sent down angels. We have not heard of this among our fathers of yore:

He said: O my Lord! help me against their calling me a liar.

And the chiefs of his people who disbelieved and called the meeting of the hereafter a lie, and whom We had given plenty to enjoy in this world's life, said: This is nothing but a mortal like yourselves, eating of what you eat from and drinking of what you drink.

He said: O my Lord! help me against their calling me a liar.

He said: In a little while they will most certainly be repenting.

Nay, they say the like of what the ancients said:

Until when death overtakes one of them, he says: Send me back, my Lord, send me back;

He shall say: Go away into it and speak nat to Me;

And those who disbelieve say: This is nothing but a lie which he has forged, and other people have helped him at it; so indeed they have done injustice and (uttered) a falsehood.

Or (why is not) a treasure sent down to him, or he is made to have a garden from which he should eat? And the unjust say: You do not follow any but a man deprived of reason.

And those who do not hope for Our meeting, say: Why have not angels been sent down upon us, or (why) do we not see our Lord? Now certainly they are too proud of themselves and have revolted in great revolt.

And the Messenger cried out: O my Lord! surely my people have treated this Quran as a forsaken thing.

And those who disbelieve say: Why has not the Quran been revealed to him all at once? Thus, that We may strengthen your heart by it and We have arranged it well in arranging.

He said: O my Lord! surely I fear that they will reject me;

He said: By no means, so go you both with Our signs; surely We are with you, hearing;

(Firon) said: Did we not bring you up as a child among us, and you tarried among us for (many) years of your life?

He said: I did it then while I was of those unable to see the right course;

Firon said: And what is the Lord of the worlds?
