Moses (26:10 – 26:45)

Moses

26:10 Recall that your Lord called Moses: “Go to the transgressing people.

26:11 “Pharaoh’s people; perhaps they reform.”

26:12 He said, “My Lord, I fear lest they disbelieve me.

26:13 “I may lose my temper. My tongue gets tied; send for my brother Aaron.

26:14 “Also, they consider me a fugitive; I fear lest they kill me.”

26:15 He said, “No, (they will not). Go with My proofs. We will be with you, listening.

26:16 “Go to Pharaoh and say, ‘We are messengers from the Lord of the universe.

26:17 “‘Let the Children of Israel go.'”

26:18 He said, “ Did we not raise you from infancy, and you spent many years with us ?

26:19 “Then you committed the crime that you committed, and you were ungrateful.”

26:20 He said, “Indeed, I did it when I was astray.

26:21 “Then I fled, when I feared you, and my Lord endowed me with wisdom and made me one of the messengers.

26:22 “You are boasting that you did me a favor, while enslaving the Children of Israel!”

26:23 Pharaoh said, “What is the Lord of the universe?”

26:24 He said, “The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them. You should be certain about this.”

26:25 He said to those around him, “Did you hear this?”

26:26 He said, “Your Lord and the Lord of your ancestors.”

26:27 He said, “Your messenger who is sent to you is crazy.”

26:28 He said, “The Lord of the east and the west, and everything between them, if you understand.”

26:29 He said, “If you accept any god, other than me, I will throw you in the prison .”

26:30 He said, “What if I show you something profound?”

26:31 He said, “Then produce it, if you are truthful.”

26:32 He then threw his staff , whereupon it became a profound snake.

26:33 And he took out his hand, and it was white to the beholders.

26:34 He said to the elders around him, “This is an experienced magician.

26:35 “He wants to take you out of your land, with his magic. What do you suggest?”

26:36 They said, “Respite him and his brother, and send summoners to every town.

26:37 “Let them summon every experienced magician.”

26:38 The magicians were gathered at the appointed time, on the appointed day.

26:39 The people were told: “Come one and all; let us gather together here.

26:40 “ Maybe we will follow the magicians, if they are the winners .”

26:41 When the magicians came, they said to Pharaoh, “Do we get paid, if we are the winners?”

26:42 He said, “Yes indeed; you will even be close to me.”

26:43 Moses said to them, “ Throw what you are going to throw .”

26:44 They threw their ropes and sticks, and said, “By Pharaoh’s majesty, we will be the victors.”

26:45 Moses threw his staff , whereupon it swallowed what they fabricated .

20:41 “I have made you just for Me. 20:42 “Go with your brother, supported by My signs, and do not waver in remembering Me. 20:43 “Go to Pharaoh, for he transgressed. 20:44 “Speak to him nicely; he may take heed, or become reverent.” 20:45 They said, “Our Lord, we fear lest he may attack us, or transgress.” 20:46 He said, “Do not be afraid, for I will be with you, listening and watching. 20:47 “Go to him and say, ‘We are two messengers from your Lord. Let the Children of Israel go. You must refrain from persecuting them. We bring a sign from your Lord, and peace is the lot of those who heed the guidance.

87:9 Therefore, you shall remind; perhaps the reminder will benefit.

Profound Miracle

21:68 They said, “Burn him and support your gods, if this is what you decide to do.” 21:69 We said, “O fire, be cool and safe for Abraham.”*

25:60 When they are told, “Fall prostrate before the Most Gracious,” they say, “What is the Most Gracious? Shall we prostrate before what you advocate?” Thus, it only augments their aversion.

27:27 (Solomon) said, “We will see if you told the truth, or if you are a liar.

43:49 They said, “O you magician, implore your Lord on our behalf, since you have an agreement with Him (to relieve this plague); we will then be guided.”
