وَنُرِيدُ
And We wanted
أَن
to
نَّمُنَّ
bestow a favor
عَلَى
upon
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who

And establish them in the land and show Pharaoh and [his minister] Hāmān and their soldiers through them1 that which they had feared.
28:7
وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ
And We inspired
إِلَىٰٓ
[to]
أُمِّ
(the) mother
مُوسَىٰٓ
(of) Musa
أَنۡ
that
أَرۡضِعِيهِ‌ۖ
Suckle him
فَإِذَا
but when
خِفۡتِ
you fear
عَلَيۡهِ
for him
فَأَلۡقِيهِ
then cast him
فِى
in(to)
ٱلۡيَمِّ
the river
وَلَا
and (do) not
تَخَافِى
fear
وَلَا
and (do) not
تَحۡزَنِىٓ‌ۖ
grieve
إِنَّا
Indeed, We
رَآدُّوهُ
(will) restore him
إِلَيۡكِ
to you
وَجَاعِلُوهُ
and (will) make him
مِنَ
of
ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
the Messengers
٧
And We inspired to the mother of Moses, "Suckle him; but when you fear for him, cast him into the river and do not fear and do not grieve. Indeed, We will return him to you and will make him [one] of the messengers."
28:8
فَٱلۡتَقَطَهُۥٓ
Then picked him up
ءَالُ
(the) family
فِرۡعَوۡنَ
(of) Firaun
لِيَكُونَ
so that he might become
لَهُمۡ
to them
عَدُوًّا
an enemy
وَحَزَنًا‌ۗ
and a grief
إِنَّ
Indeed
فِرۡعَوۡنَ
Firaun
وَهَـٰمَـٰنَ
and Haman
وَجُنُودَهُمَا
and their hosts
كَانُواۡ
were
خَـٰطِــِٔينَ
sinners
٨
And the family of Pharaoh picked him up [out of the river] so that he would become to them an enemy and a [cause of] grief. Indeed, Pharaoh and Hāmān and their soldiers were deliberate sinners.
28:9
وَقَالَتِ
And said
ٱمۡرَأَتُ
(the) wife
فِرۡعَوۡنَ
(of) Firaun
قُرَّتُ
A comfort
عَيۡنٍ
(of the) eye
لِّى
for me
وَلَكَ‌ۖ
and for you
لَا
(Do) not
تَقۡتُلُوهُ
kill him
عَسَىٰٓ
perhaps
أَن
(that)
يَنفَعَنَآ
he may benefit us
أَوۡ
or
نَتَّخِذَهُۥ
we may take him
وَلَدًا
(as) a son
وَهُمۡ
And they
لَا
(did) not
يَشۡعُرُونَ
perceive
٩
And the wife of Pharaoh said, "[He will be] a comfort of the eye [i.e., pleasure] for me and for you. Do not kill him; perhaps he may benefit us, or we may adopt him as a son." And they perceived not.1
28:10
وَأَصۡبَحَ
And became
فُؤَادُ
(the) heart
أُمِّ
(of the) mother
مُوسَىٰ
(of) Musa
فَـٰرِغًا‌ۖ
empty
إِن
That
كَادَتۡ
she was near
لَتُبۡدِى
(to) disclosing
بِهِۦ
about him
لَوۡلَآ
if not
أَن
that
رَّبَطۡنَا
We strengthened
عَلَىٰ
[over]
قَلۡبِهَا
her heart
لِتَكُونَ
so that she would be
مِنَ
of
ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
the believers
١٠
And the heart of Moses' mother became empty [of all else]. She was about to disclose [the matter concerning] him had We not bound fast her heart that she would be of the believers.
28:11
وَقَالَتۡ
And she said
لِأُخۡتِهِۦ
to his sister
قُصِّيهِ‌ۖ
Follow him
فَبَصُرَتۡ
So she watched
بِهِۦ
him
عَن
from
جُنُبٍ
a distance
وَهُمۡ
while they
لَا
(did) not
يَشۡعُرُونَ
perceive
١١
And she said to his sister, "Follow him"; so she watched him from a distance while they perceived not.
28:12
۞وَحَرَّمۡنَا
And We had forbidden
عَلَيۡهِ
for him
ٱلۡمَرَاضِعَ
the wet nurses
مِن
before
قَبۡلُ
before
فَقَالَتۡ
so she said
هَلۡ
Shall I
أَدُلُّكُمۡ
direct you
عَلَىٰٓ
to
أَهۡلِ
(the) people
بَيۡتٍ
(of) a house
يَكۡفُلُونَهُۥ
who will rear him
لَكُمۡ
for you
وَهُمۡ
while they
لَهُۥ
to him
نَـٰصِحُونَ
(will be) sincere
١٢
And We had prevented from him [all] wet nurses before,1 so she said, "Shall I direct you to a household that will be responsible for him for you while they are to him [for his upbringing] sincere?"
28:13
فَرَدَدۡنَـٰهُ
So We restored him
إِلَىٰٓ
to
أُمِّهِۦ
his mother
كَىۡ
that
تَقَرَّ
might be comforted
عَيۡنُهَا
her eye
وَلَا
and not
تَحۡزَنَ
she may grieve
وَلِتَعۡلَمَ
and that she would know
أَنَّ
that
وَعۡدَ
the Promise of Allah
ٱللَّهِ
the Promise of Allah
حَقٌّ
(is) true
وَلَـٰكِنَّ
But
أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ
most of them
لَا
(do) not
يَعۡلَمُونَ
know
١٣
So We restored him to his mother that she might be content and not grieve and that she would know that the promise of Allāh is true. But most of them [i.e., the people] do not know.
28:14
وَلَمَّا
And when
بَلَغَ
he reached
أَشُدَّهُۥ
his full strength
وَٱسۡتَوَىٰٓ
and became mature
ءَاتَيۡنَـٰهُ
We bestowed upon him
حُكۡمًا
wisdom
وَعِلۡمًا‌ۚ
and knowledge
وَكَذٰلِكَ
And thus
نَجۡزِى
We reward
ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ
the good-doers
١٤
And when he attained his full strength and was [mentally] mature, We bestowed upon him judgement and knowledge. And thus do We reward the doers of good.
28:15
وَدَخَلَ
And he entered
ٱلۡمَدِينَةَ
the city
عَلَىٰ
at
حِينِ
a time
غَفۡلَةٍ
(of) inattention
مِّنۡ
of
أَهۡلِهَا
its people
فَوَجَدَ
and found
فِيهَا
therein
رَجُلَيۡنِ
two men
يَقۡتَتِلَانِ
fighting each other
هَـٰذَا
this
مِن
of
شِيعَتِهِۦ
his party
وَهَـٰذَا
and this
مِنۡ
of
عَدُوِّهِۦ‌ۖ
his enemy
فَٱسۡتَغَـٰثَهُ
And called him for help
ٱلَّذِى
the one who
مِن
(was) from
شِيعَتِهِۦ
his party
عَلَى
against
ٱلَّذِى
the one who
مِنۡ
(was) from
عَدُوِّهِۦ
his enemy
فَوَكَزَهُۥ
so Musa struck him with his fist
مُوسَىٰ
so Musa struck him with his fist
فَقَضَىٰ
and killed him
عَلَيۡهِ‌ۖ
and killed him
قَالَ
He said
هَـٰذَا
This (is)
مِنۡ
of
عَمَلِ
(the) deed
ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنِ‌ۖ
(of) Shaitaan
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed, he
عَدُوٌّ
(is) an enemy
مُّضِلٌّ
one who misleads
مُّبِينٌ
clearly
١٥
And he entered the city at a time of inattention by its people1 and found therein two men fighting: one from his faction and one from among his enemy. And the one from his faction called for help to him against the one from his enemy, so Moses struck him and [unintentionally] killed him. [Moses] said, "This is from the work of Satan. Indeed, he is a manifest, misleading enemy."
28:16
قَالَ
He said
رَبِّ
My Lord
إِنِّى
Indeed, I
ظَلَمۡتُ
[I] have wronged
نَفۡسِى
my soul
فَٱغۡفِرۡ
so forgive
لِى
[for] me
فَغَفَرَ
Then He forgave
لَهُۥٓ‌ۚ
[for] him
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed He
هُوَ
He (is)
ٱلۡغَفُورُ
the Oft-Forgiving
ٱلرَّحِيمُ
the Most Merciful
١٦
He said, "My Lord, indeed I have wronged myself, so forgive me," and He forgave him. Indeed, He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
28:17
قَالَ
He said
رَبِّ
My Lord
بِمَآ
Because
أَنۡعَمۡتَ
You have favored
عَلَىَّ
[on] me
فَلَنۡ
so not
أَكُونَ
I will be
ظَهِيرًا
a supporter
لِّلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ
(of) the criminals
١٧
He said, "My Lord, for the favor You bestowed upon me, I will never be an assistant to the criminals."
28:18
فَأَصۡبَحَ
In the morning he was
فِى
in
ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ
the city
خَآئِفًا
fearful
يَتَرَقَّبُ
(and) was vigilant
فَإِذَا
when behold
ٱلَّذِى
The one who
ٱسۡتَنصَرَهُۥ
sought his help
بِٱلۡأَمۡسِ
the previous day
يَسۡتَصۡرِخُهُۥ‌ۚ
cried out to him for help
قَالَ
Said
لَهُۥ
to him
مُوسَىٰٓ
Musa
إِنَّكَ
Indeed, you
لَغَوِىٌّ
(are) surely a deviator
مُّبِينٌ
clear
١٨
And he became inside the city fearful and anticipating [exposure], when suddenly the one who sought his help the previous day cried out to him [once again]. Moses said to him, "Indeed, you are an evident, [persistent] deviator."
28:19
فَلَمَّآ
Then when
أَنۡ
[that]
أَرَادَ
he wanted
أَن
to
يَبۡطِشَ
strike
بِٱلَّذِى
the one who
هُوَ
[he] (was)
عَدُوٌّ
an enemy
لَّهُمَا
to both of them
قَالَ
he said
يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ
O Musa
أَتُرِيدُ
Do you intend
أَن
to
تَقۡتُلَنِى
kill me
كَمَا
as
قَتَلۡتَ
you killed
نَفۡسَۢا
a person
بِٱلۡأَمۡسِ‌ۖ
yesterday
إِن
Not
تُرِيدُ
you want
إِلَّآ
but
أَن
that
تَكُونَ
you become
جَبَّارًا
a tyrant
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
وَمَا
and not
تُرِيدُ
you want
أَن
that
تَكُونَ
you be
مِنَ
of
ٱلۡمُصۡلِحِينَ
the reformers
١٩
And when he wanted to strike the one who was an enemy to both of them, he1 said, "O Moses, do you intend to kill me as you killed someone yesterday? You only want to be a tyrant in the land and do not want to be of the amenders."
28:20
وَجَآءَ
And came
رَجُلٌ
a man
مِّنۡ
from
أَقۡصَا
(the) farthest end
ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ
(of) the city
يَسۡعَىٰ
running
قَالَ
He said
يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ
O Musa
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلۡمَلَأَ
the chiefs
يَأۡتَمِرُونَ
are taking counsel
بِكَ
about you
لِيَقۡتُلُوكَ
to kill you
فَٱخۡرُجۡ
so leave
إِنِّى
indeed, I am
لَكَ
to you
مِنَ
of
ٱلنَّـٰصِحِينَ
the sincere advisors
٢٠
And a man came from the farthest end of the city, running. He said, "O Moses, indeed the eminent ones are conferring over you [intending] to kill you, so leave [the city]; indeed, I am to you of the sincere advisors."
28:21
فَخَرَجَ
So he left
مِنۡهَا
from it
خَآئِفًا
fearing
يَتَرَقَّبُ‌ۖ
(and) vigilant
قَالَ
He said
رَبِّ
My Lord
نَجِّنِى
Save me
مِنَ
from
ٱلۡقَوۡمِ
the people
ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
the wrongdoers
٢١
So he left it, fearful and anticipating [apprehension]. He said, "My Lord, save me from the wrongdoing people."
28:22
وَلَمَّا
And when
تَوَجَّهَ
he turned his face
تِلۡقَآءَ
towards
مَدۡيَنَ
Madyan
قَالَ
he said
عَسَىٰ
Perhaps
رَبِّىٓ
my Lord
أَن
[that]
يَهۡدِيَنِى
will guide me
سَوَآءَ
(to the) sound
ٱلسَّبِيلِ
way
٢٢
And when he directed himself toward Madyan, he said, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me to the sound way."
28:23
وَلَمَّا
And when
وَرَدَ
he came
مَآءَ
(to the) water
مَدۡيَنَ
(of) Madyan
وَجَدَ
he found
عَلَيۡهِ
on it
أُمَّةً
a group
مِّنَ
of
ٱلنَّاسِ
men
يَسۡقُونَ
watering
وَوَجَدَ
and he found
مِن
besides them
دُونِهِمُ
besides them
ٱمۡرَأَتَيۡنِ
two women
تَذُودَانِ‌ۖ
keeping back
قَالَ
He said
مَا
What
خَطۡبُكُمَا‌ۖ
(is the) matter with both of you
قَالَتَا
They said
لَا
We cannot water
نَسۡقِى
We cannot water
حَتَّىٰ
until
يُصۡدِرَ
take away
ٱلرِّعَآءُ‌ۖ
the shepherds
وَأَبُونَا
and our father
شَيۡخٌ
(is) a very old man
كَبِيرٌ
(is) a very old man
٢٣
And when he came to the water [i.e., well] of Madyan, he found there a crowd of people watering [their flocks], and he found aside from them two women holding back [their flocks]. He said, "What is your circumstance?" They said, "We do not water until the shepherds dispatch [their flocks]; and our father is an old man."
28:24
فَسَقَىٰ
So he watered
لَهُمَا
for them
ثُمَّ
Then
تَوَلَّىٰٓ
he turned back
إِلَى
to
ٱلظِّلِّ
the shade
فَقَالَ
and said
رَبِّ
My Lord
إِنِّى
Indeed, I am
لِمَآ
of whatever
أَنزَلۡتَ
You send
إِلَىَّ
to me
مِنۡ
of
خَيۡرٍ
good
فَقِيرٌ
(in) need
٢٤
So he watered [their flocks] for them; then he went back to the shade and said, "My Lord, indeed I am, for whatever good You would send down to me, in need."
28:25
فَجَآءَتۡهُ
Then came to him
إِحۡدَٮٰهُمَا
one of the two women
تَمۡشِى
walking
عَلَى
with
ٱسۡتِحۡيَآءٍ
shyness
قَالَتۡ
She said
إِنَّ
Indeed
أَبِى
my father
يَدۡعُوكَ
calls you
لِيَجۡزِيَكَ
that he may reward you
أَجۡرَ
(the) reward
مَا
(for) what
سَقَيۡتَ
you watered
لَنَا‌ۚ
for us
فَلَمَّا
So when
جَآءَهُۥ
he came to him
وَقَصَّ
and narrated
عَلَيۡهِ
to him
ٱلۡقَصَصَ
the story
قَالَ
he said
لَا
(Do) not
تَخَفۡ‌ۖ
fear
نَجَوۡتَ
You have escaped
مِنَ
from
ٱلۡقَوۡمِ
the people
ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
the wrongdoers
٢٥
Then one of the two women came to him walking with shyness. She said, "Indeed, my father invites you that he may reward you for having watered for us." So when he came to him1 and related to him the story, he said, "Fear not. You have escaped from the wrongdoing people."
28:26
قَالَتۡ
Said
إِحۡدَٮٰهُمَا
one of them
يَـٰٓأَبَتِ
O my father
ٱسۡتَــٔۡجِرۡهُ‌ۖ
Hire him
إِنَّ
Indeed
خَيۡرَ
(the) best
مَنِ
whom
ٱسۡتَــٔۡجَرۡتَ
you (can) hire
ٱلۡقَوِىُّ
(is) the strong
ٱلۡأَمِينُ
the trustworthy
٢٦
One of the women said, "O my father, hire him. Indeed, the best one you can hire is the strong and the trustworthy."
28:27
قَالَ
He said
إِنِّىٓ
Indeed, I
أُرِيدُ
[I] wish
أَنۡ
to
أُنكِحَكَ
marry you to
إِحۡدَى
one
ٱبۡنَتَىَّ
(of) my daughters
هَـٰتَيۡنِ
(of) these two
عَلَىٰٓ
on
أَن
that
تَأۡجُرَنِى
you serve me
ثَمَـٰنِىَ
(for) eight
حِجَجٍ‌ۖ
years
فَإِنۡ
but if
أَتۡمَمۡتَ
you complete
عَشۡرًا
ten
فَمِنۡ
then from
عِندِكَ‌ۖ
you
وَمَآ
And not
أُرِيدُ
I wish
أَنۡ
to
أَشُقَّ
make it difficult
عَلَيۡكَ‌ۚ
for you
سَتَجِدُنِىٓ
You will find me
إِن
if
شَآءَ
Allah wills
ٱللَّهُ
Allah wills
مِنَ
of
ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ
the righteous
٢٧
He said, "Indeed, I wish to wed you one of these, my two daughters, on [the condition] that you serve me for eight years; but if you complete ten, it will be [as a favor] from you. And I do not wish to put you in difficulty. You will find me, if Allāh wills, from among the righteous."
28:28
قَالَ
He said
ذٰلِكَ
That
بَيۡنِى
(is) between me
وَبَيۡنَكَ‌ۖ
and between you
أَيَّمَا
Whichever
ٱلۡأَجَلَيۡنِ
(of) the two terms
قَضَيۡتُ
I complete
فَلَا
then no
عُدۡوٰنَ
injustice
عَلَىَّ‌ۖ
to me
وَٱللَّهُ
and Allah
عَلَىٰ
over
مَا
what
نَقُولُ
we say
وَكِيلٌ
(is) a Witness
٢٨
[Moses] said, "That is [established] between me and you. Whichever of the two terms I complete - there is no injustice to me, and Allāh, over what we say, is Witness."
28:29
۞فَلَمَّا
Then when
قَضَىٰ
Musa fulfilled
مُوسَى
Musa fulfilled
ٱلۡأَجَلَ
the term
وَسَارَ
and was traveling
بِأَهۡلِهِۦٓ
with his family
ءَانَسَ
he saw
مِن
in
جَانِبِ
(the) direction
ٱلطُّورِ
(of) Mount Tur
نَارًا
a fire
قَالَ
He said
لِأَهۡلِهِ
to his family
ٱمۡكُثُوٓاۡ
Stay here
إِنِّىٓ
indeed, I
ءَانَسۡتُ
[I] perceive
نَارًا
a fire
لَّعَلِّىٓ
Perhaps
ءَاتِيكُم
I will bring you
مِّنۡهَا
from there
بِخَبَرٍ
some information
أَوۡ
or
جَذۡوَةٍ
a burning wood
مِّنَ
from
ٱلنَّارِ
the fire
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
so that you may
تَصۡطَلُونَ
warm yourselves
٢٩
And when Moses had completed the term and was traveling with his family, he perceived from the direction of the mount a fire. He said to his family, "Stay here; indeed, I have perceived a fire. Perhaps I will bring you from there [some] information or burning wood from the fire that you may warm yourselves."
28:30
فَلَمَّآ
But when
أَتَـٰهَا
he came (to) it
نُودِىَ
he was called
مِن
from
شَـٰطِىِٕ

رَبُّ
(the) Lord
ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ
(of) the worlds
٣٠
But when he came to it, he was called from the right side of the valley in a blessed spot - from the tree,1 "O Moses, indeed I am Allāh, Lord of the worlds."
28:31
وَأَنۡ
And [that]
أَلۡقِ
throw
عَصَاكَ‌ۖ
your staff
فَلَمَّا
But when
رَءَاهَا
he saw it
تَهۡتَزُّ
moving
كَأَنَّهَا
as if it
جَآنٌّ
(were) a snake
وَلَّىٰ
he turned
مُدۡبِرًا
(in) flight
وَلَمۡ
and (did) not
يُعَقِّبۡ‌ۚ
return
يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ
O Musa
أَقۡبِلۡ
Draw near
وَلَا
and (do) not
تَخَفۡ‌ۖ
fear
إِنَّكَ
Indeed, you
مِنَ
(are) of
ٱلۡأَمِنِينَ
the secure
٣١
And [he was told], "Throw down your staff." But when he saw it writhing as if it was a snake, he turned in flight and did not return.1 [Allāh said], "O Moses, approach and fear not. Indeed, you are of the secure.
28:32
ٱسۡلُكۡ
Insert
يَدَكَ
your hand
فِى
in
جَيۡبِكَ
your bosom
تَخۡرُجۡ
it will come forth
بَيۡضَآءَ
white
مِنۡ
without
غَيۡرِ
without
سُوٓءٍ
any harm
وَٱضۡمُمۡ
And draw
إِلَيۡكَ
to yourselves
جَنَاحَكَ
your hand
مِنَ
against
ٱلرَّهۡبِ‌ۖ
fear
فَذٰنِكَ
So these
بُرۡهَـٰنَانِ
(are) two evidences

from
رَّبِّكَ
your Lord
إِلَىٰ
to
فِرۡعَوۡنَ
Firaun
وَمَلَإِيۡهِۦٓ‌ۚ
and his chiefs
إِنَّهُمۡ
Indeed, they
كَانُواۡ
are
قَوۡمًا
a people
فَـٰسِقِينَ
defiantly disobedient
٣٢
Insert your hand into the opening of your garment; it will come out white, without disease. And draw in your arm close to you [as prevention] from fear, for those are two proofs from your Lord to Pharaoh and his establishment. Indeed, they have been a people defiantly disobedient."
28:33
قَالَ
He said
رَبِّ
My Lord
إِنِّى
Indeed
قَتَلۡتُ
I killed
مِنۡهُمۡ
of them
نَفۡسًا
a man
فَأَخَافُ
and I fear
أَن
that
يَقۡتُلُونِ
they will kill me
٣٣
He said, "My Lord, indeed I killed from among them someone, and I fear they will kill me.
28:34
وَأَخِى
And my brother
هَـٰرُونُ
Harun
هُوَ
he
أَفۡصَحُ
(is) more eloquent
مِنِّى
than me
لِسَانًا
(in) speech
فَأَرۡسِلۡهُ
so send him
مَعِىَ
with me
رِدۡءًا
(as) a helper
يُصَدِّقُنِىٓ‌ۖ
who will confirm me
إِنِّىٓ
Indeed
أَخَافُ
I fear
أَن
that
يُكَذِّبُونِ
they will deny me
٣٤
And my brother Aaron is more fluent than me in tongue, so send him with me as support, verifying me. Indeed, I fear that they will deny me."
28:35
قَالَ
He said
سَنَشُدُّ
We will strengthen
عَضُدَكَ
your arm
بِأَخِيكَ
through your brother
وَنَجۡعَلُ
and We will make
لَكُمَا
for both of you
سُلۡطَـٰنًا
an authority
فَلَا
so not
يَصِلُونَ
they will reach
إِلَيۡكُمَا‌ۚ
to both of you
بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَآ
Through Our Signs
أَنتُمَا
you two
وَمَنِ
and (those) who
ٱتَّبَعَكُمَا
follow you
ٱلۡغَـٰلِبُونَ
(will) be the dominant
٣٥
[Allāh] said, "We will strengthen your arm through your brother and grant you both supremacy so they will not reach you. [It will be] through Our signs; you and those who follow you will be the predominant."
28:36
فَلَمَّا
But when
جَآءَهُم
came to them
مُّوسَىٰ
Musa
بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا
with Our Signs
بَيِّنَـٰتٍ
clear
قَالُواۡ
they said
مَا
Not
هَـٰذَآ
(is) this
إِلَّا
except
سِحۡرٌ
a magic
مُّفۡتَرًى
invented
وَمَا
and not
سَمِعۡنَا
we heard
بِهَـٰذَا
of this
فِىٓ
among
ءَابَآئِنَا
our forefathers
ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
our forefathers
٣٦
But when Moses came to them with Our signs as clear evidences, they said, "This is not except invented magic, and we have not heard of this [religion] among our forefathers."
28:37
وَقَالَ
And Musa said
مُوسَىٰ
And Musa said
رَبِّىٓ
My Lord
أَعۡلَمُ
knows best
بِمَن
of who
جَآءَ
has come
بِٱلۡهُدَىٰ
with [the] guidance
مِنۡ
from Him
عِندِهِۦ
from Him
وَمَن
and who
تَكُونُ
will be
لَهُۥ
for him
عَـٰقِبَةُ
the good end in the Hereafter
ٱلدَّارِ‌ۖ
the good end in the Hereafter
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed
لَا
not
يُفۡلِحُ
will be successful
ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ
the wrongdoers
٣٧
And Moses said, "My Lord is more knowing [than we or you] of who has come with guidance from Him and to whom will be succession in the home.1 Indeed, wrongdoers do not succeed."
28:38
وَقَالَ
And Firaun said
فِرۡعَوۡنُ
And Firaun said
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
O chiefs
ٱلۡمَلَأُ
O chiefs
مَا
Not
عَلِمۡتُ
I know
لَكُم
for you
مِّنۡ
any
إِلَـٰهٍ
god
غَيۡرِى
other than me
فَأَوۡقِدۡ
So kindle
لِى
for me
يَـٰهَـٰمَـٰنُ
O Haman
عَلَى
Upon
ٱلطِّينِ
the clay
فَٱجۡعَل
and make
لِّى
for me
صَرۡحًا
a lofty tower
لَّعَلِّىٓ
so that [I]
أَطَّلِعُ
I may look
إِلَىٰٓ
at
إِلَـٰهِ
(the) God
مُوسَىٰ
(of) Musa
وَإِنِّى
And indeed, I
لَأَظُنُّهُۥ
[I] think that he
مِنَ
(is) of
ٱلۡكَـٰذِبِينَ
the liars
٣٨
And Pharaoh said, "O eminent ones, I have not known you to have a god other than me. Then ignite for me, O Hāmān, [a fire] upon the clay1 and make for me a tower that I may look at the God of Moses. And indeed, I do think he is among the liars."
28:39
وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرَ
And he was arrogant
هُوَ
And he was arrogant
وَجُنُودُهُۥ
and his hosts
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the land
بِغَيۡرِ
without

right
وَظَنُّوٓاۡ
and they thought
أَنَّهُمۡ
that they
إِلَيۡنَا
to Us
لَا
not
يُرۡجَعُونَ
will be returned
٣٩
And he was arrogant, he and his soldiers, in the land, without right, and they thought that they would not be returned to Us.
28:40
فَأَخَذۡنَـٰهُ
So We seized him
وَجُنُودَهُۥ
and his hosts
فَنَبَذۡنَـٰهُمۡ
and We threw them
فِى
in
ٱلۡيَمِّ‌ۖ
the sea
فَٱنظُرۡ
So see
كَيۡفَ
how
كَانَ
was
عَـٰقِبَةُ
(the) end
ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
(of) the wrongdoers
٤٠
So We took him and his soldiers and threw them into the sea.1 So see how was the end of the wrongdoers.
28:41
وَجَعَلۡنَـٰهُمۡ
And We made them
أَئِمَّةً
leaders
يَدۡعُونَ
inviting
إِلَى
to
ٱلنَّارِ‌ۖ
the Fire
وَيَوۡمَ
and (on the) Day
ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ
(of) the Resurrection
لَا
not
يُنصَرُونَ
they will be helped
٤١
And We made them leaders1 inviting to the Fire, and on the Day of Resurrection they will not be helped.
28:42
وَأَتۡبَعۡنَـٰهُمۡ
And We caused to follow them
فِى
in
هَـٰذِهِ
this
ٱلدُّنۡيَا
world
لَعۡنَةً‌ۖ
a curse
وَيَوۡمَ
and (on the) Day
ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ
(of) the Resurrection
هُم
they
مِّنَ
(will be) of
ٱلۡمَقۡبُوحِينَ
the despised
٤٢
And We caused to overtake them in this world a curse, and on the Day of Resurrection they will be of the despised.1
28:43
وَلَقَدۡ
And verily
ءَاتَيۡنَا
We gave
مُوسَى
Musa
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ
the Scripture
مِنۢ
after [what]
بَعۡدِ
after [what]
مَآ
after [what]
أَهۡلَكۡنَا
We had destroyed
ٱلۡقُرُونَ
the generations
ٱلۡأُولَىٰ
former
بَصَآئِرَ
(as) an enlightenment
لِلنَّاسِ
for the mankind
وَهُدًى
and a guidance
وَرَحۡمَةً
and mercy
لَّعَلَّهُمۡ
that they may
يَتَذَكَّرُونَ
remember
٤٣
And We gave Moses the Scripture, after We had destroyed the former generations, as enlightenment for the people and guidance and mercy that they might be reminded.
28:44
وَمَا
And not
كُنتَ
you were
بِجَانِبِ
on (the) side
ٱلۡغَرۡبِىِّ
western
إِذۡ
when
قَضَيۡنَآ
We decreed
إِلَىٰ
to
مُوسَى
Musa
ٱلۡأَمۡرَ
the Commandment
وَمَا
and not
كُنتَ
you were
مِنَ
among
ٱلشَّـٰهِدِينَ
the witnesses
٤٤
And you, [O Muḥammad], were not on the western side [of the mount] when We revealed to Moses the command, and you were not among the witnesses [to that].
28:45
وَلَـٰكِنَّآ
But We
أَنشَأۡنَا
[We] produced
قُرُونًا
generations
فَتَطَاوَلَ
and prolonged
عَلَيۡهِمُ
for them
ٱلۡعُمُرُ‌ۚ
the life
وَمَا
And not
كُنتَ
you were
ثَاوِيًا
a dweller
فِىٓ
among
أَهۡلِ
(the) people
مَدۡيَنَ
(of) Madyan
تَتۡلُواۡ
reciting
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
to them
ءَايَـٰتِنَا
Our Verses
وَلَـٰكِنَّا
but We
كُنَّا
[We] were
مُرۡسِلِينَ
the Senders
٤٥
But We produced [many] generations [after Moses], and prolonged was their duration.1 And you were not a resident among the people of Madyan, reciting to them Our verses, but We were senders [of this message].2
28:46
وَمَا
And not
كُنتَ
you were
بِجَانِبِ
at (the) side
ٱلطُّورِ
(of) the Tur
إِذۡ
when
نَادَيۡنَا
We called
وَلَـٰكِن
But
رَّحۡمَةً
(as) a mercy
مِّن
from
رَّبِّكَ
your Lord
لِتُنذِرَ
so that you warn
قَوۡمًا
a people
مَّآ
not
أَتَـٰهُم
(had) come to them
مِّن
any
نَّذِيرٍ
warner
مِّن
before you
قَبۡلِكَ
before you
لَعَلَّهُمۡ
so that they may
يَتَذَكَّرُونَ
remember
٤٦
And you were not at the side of the mount when We called [Moses] but [were sent] as a mercy from your Lord to warn a people to whom no warner had come before you that they might be reminded.
28:47
وَلَوۡلَآ
And if not
أَن
[that]
تُصِيبَهُم
struck them
مُّصِيبَةُۢ
a disaster
بِمَا
for what
قَدَّمَتۡ
had sent forth
أَيۡدِيهِمۡ
their hands
فَيَقُولُواۡ
and they would say
رَبَّنَا
Our Lord
لَوۡلَآ
Why not
أَرۡسَلۡتَ
You sent
إِلَيۡنَا
to us
رَسُولاً
a Messenger
فَنَتَّبِعَ
so we (could have) followed
ءَايَـٰتِكَ
Your Verses
وَنَكُونَ
and we (would) have been
مِنَ
of
ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
the believers
٤٧
And if not that a disaster should strike them for what their hands put forth [of sins] and they would say, "Our Lord, why did You not send us a messenger so we could have followed Your verses and been among the believers?"...1
28:48
فَلَمَّا
But when
جَآءَهُمُ
came to them
ٱلۡحَقُّ
the truth
مِنۡ
from Us
عِندِنَا
from Us
قَالُواۡ
they said
لَوۡلَآ
Why not
أُوتِىَ
he was given
مِثۡلَ
(the) like
مَآ
(of) what
أُوتِىَ
was given
مُوسَىٰٓ‌ۚ
(to) Musa
أَوَلَمۡ
Did not
يَكۡفُرُواۡ
they disbelieve
بِمَآ
in what
أُوتِىَ
was given
مُوسَىٰ
(to) Musa
مِن
before
قَبۡلُ‌ۖ
before
قَالُواۡ
They said
سِحۡرَانِ
Two magic (works)
تَظَـٰهَرَا
supporting each other
وَقَالُوٓاۡ
And they said
إِنَّا
Indeed, we
بِكُلٍّ
in all
كَـٰفِرُونَ
(are) disbelievers
٤٨
But when the truth came to them from Us, they said, "Why was he not given like that which was given to Moses?" Did they not disbelieve in that which was given to Moses before? They said, "[They are but] two works of magic supporting each other,1 and indeed we are, in both, disbelievers."
28:49
قُلۡ
Say
فَأۡتُواۡ
Then bring
بِكِتَـٰبٍ
a Book
مِّنۡ
from Allah
عِندِ
from Allah
ٱللَّهِ
from Allah
هُوَ
which
أَهۡدَىٰ
(is) a better guide
مِنۡهُمَآ
than both of them
أَتَّبِعۡهُ
that I may follow it
إِن
if
كُنتُمۡ
you are
صَـٰدِقِينَ
truthful
٤٩
Say, "Then bring a scripture from Allāh which is more guiding than either of them that I may follow it, if you should be truthful."
28:50
فَإِن
But if
لَّمۡ
not
يَسۡتَجِيبُواۡ
they respond
لَكَ
to you
فَٱعۡلَمۡ
then know
أَنَّمَا
that only
يَتَّبِعُونَ
they follow
أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ‌ۚ
their desires
وَمَنۡ
And who
أَضَلُّ
(is) more astray
مِمَّنِ
than (one) who
ٱتَّبَعَ
follows
هَوَٮٰهُ
his own desire
بِغَيۡرِ
without
هُدًى
guidance
مِّنَ
from
ٱللَّهِ‌ۚ
Allah
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
لَا
(does) not
يَهۡدِى
guide
ٱلۡقَوۡمَ
the people
ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
the wrongdoers
٥٠
But if they do not respond to you - then know that they only follow their [own] desires. And who is more astray than one who follows his desire without guidance from Allāh? Indeed, Allāh does not guide the wrongdoing people.
28:51
۞وَلَقَدۡ
And indeed
وَصَّلۡنَا
We have conveyed
لَهُمُ
to them
ٱلۡقَوۡلَ
the Word
لَعَلَّهُمۡ
so that they may
يَتَذَكَّرُونَ
remember
٥١
And We have [repeatedly] conveyed to them the word [i.e., the Qur’ān] that they might be reminded.
28:52
ٱلَّذِينَ
Those who
ءَاتَيۡنَـٰهُمُ
We gave them
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ
the Scripture
مِن
before it
قَبۡلِهِۦ
before it
هُم
they
بِهِۦ
in it
يُؤۡمِنُونَ
believe
٥٢
Those to whom We gave the Scripture before it - they1 are believers in it.
28:53
وَإِذَا
And when
يُتۡلَىٰ
it is recited
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
to them
قَالُوٓاۡ
they say
ءَامَنَّا
We believe
بِهِۦٓ
in it
إِنَّهُ
Indeed, it
ٱلۡحَقُّ
(is) the truth
مِن
from
رَّبِّنَآ
our Lord
إِنَّا
Indeed, we
كُنَّا
[we] were
مِن
before it
قَبۡلِهِۦ
before it
مُسۡلِمِينَ
Muslims
٥٣
And when it is recited to them, they say, "We have believed in it; indeed, it is the truth from our Lord. Indeed we were, [even] before it, Muslims [i.e., submitting to Allāh]."
28:54
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
Those
يُؤۡتَوۡنَ
will be given
أَجۡرَهُم
their reward
مَّرَّتَيۡنِ
twice
بِمَا
because
صَبَرُواۡ
they are patient
وَيَدۡرَءُونَ
and they repel
بِٱلۡحَسَنَةِ
with good
ٱلسَّيِّئَةَ
the evil
وَمِمَّا
and from what
رَزَقۡنَـٰهُمۡ
We have provided them
يُنفِقُونَ
they spend
٥٤
Those will be given their reward twice for what they patiently endured and [because] they avert evil through good, and from what We have provided them they spend.
28:55
وَإِذَا
And when
سَمِعُواۡ
they hear
ٱللَّغۡوَ
vain talk
أَعۡرَضُواۡ
they turn away
عَنۡهُ
from it
وَقَالُواۡ
and say
لَنَآ
For us

our deeds
وَلَكُمۡ
and for you
أَعۡمَـٰلُكُمۡ
your deeds

Peace (be)
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
on you
لَا
not
نَبۡتَغِى
we seek
ٱلۡجَـٰهِلِينَ
the ignorant
٥٥
And when they hear ill speech, they turn away from it and say, "For us are our deeds, and for you are your deeds. Peace will be upon you;1 we seek not the ignorant."
28:56
إِنَّكَ
Indeed, you
لَا
(can) not
تَهۡدِى
guide
مَنۡ
whom
أَحۡبَبۡتَ
you love
وَلَـٰكِنَّ
but
ٱللَّهَ
Allah

He wills
وَهُوَ
And He
أَعۡلَمُ
(is) most knowing
بِٱلۡمُهۡتَدِينَ
(of) the guided ones
٥٦
Indeed, [O Muḥammad], you do not guide whom you like, but Allāh guides whom He wills. And He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.
28:57
وَقَالُوٓاۡ
And they say
إِن
If
نَّتَّبِعِ
we follow
ٱلۡهُدَىٰ
the guidance
مَعَكَ
with you
نُتَخَطَّفۡ
we would be swept
مِنۡ
from
أَرۡضِنَآ‌ۚ
our land
أَوَلَمۡ
Have not
نُمَكِّن
We established

رِّزۡقًا
a provision

Us
وَلَـٰكِنَّ
But
أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ
most of them
لَا
(do) not
يَعۡلَمُونَ
know
٥٧
And they [i.e., the Quraysh] say, "If we were to follow the guidance with you, we would be swept1 from our land." Have We not established for them a safe sanctuary to which are brought the fruits of all things as provision from Us? But most of them do not know.
28:58
وَكَمۡ
And how many
أَهۡلَكۡنَا
We have destroyed
مِن
of
قَرۡيَةِۭ
a town
بَطِرَتۡ
which exulted
مَعِيشَتَهَا‌ۖ
(in) its means of livelihood
فَتِلۡكَ
And these
مَسَـٰكِنُهُمۡ
(are) their dwellings
لَمۡ
not

have been inhabited
مِّنۢ
after them
بَعۡدِهِمۡ
after them
إِلَّا
except
قَلِيلاً‌ۖ
a little
وَكُنَّا
And indeed, [We]
نَحۡنُ
We
ٱلۡوٰرِثِينَ
(are) the inheritors
٥٨
And how many a city have We destroyed that was insolent in its [way of] living, and those are their dwellings which have not been inhabited after them except briefly.1 And it is We who were the inheritors.
28:59
وَمَا
And not
كَانَ
was
رَبُّكَ
your Lord
مُهۡلِكَ
(the) one to destroy
ٱلۡقُرَىٰ
the towns
حَتَّىٰ
until
يَبۡعَثَ
He (had) sent
فِىٓ
in
أُمِّهَا
their mother (town)
رَسُولاً
a Messenger
يَتۡلُواۡ
reciting
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
to them
ءَايَـٰتِنَا‌ۚ
Our Verses
وَمَا
And not
كُنَّا
We would be
مُهۡلِكِى
(the) one to destroy
ٱلۡقُرَىٰٓ
the towns
إِلَّا
except
وَأَهۡلُهَا
while their people
ظَـٰلِمُونَ
(were) wrongdoers
٥٩
And never would your Lord have destroyed the cities until He had sent to their mother [i.e., principal city] a messenger reciting to them Our verses. And We would not destroy the cities except while their people were wrongdoers.
28:60
وَمَآ
And whatever
أُوتِيتُم
you have been given
مِّن
from
شَىۡءٍ
things
فَمَتَـٰعُ

خَيۡرٌ
(is) better
وَأَبۡقَىٰٓ‌ۚ
and more lasting
أَفَلَا
So (will) not
تَعۡقِلُونَ
you use intellect
٦٠
And whatever thing you [people] have been given - it is [only for] the enjoyment of worldly life and its adornment. And what is with Allāh is better and more lasting; so will you not use reason?
28:61
أَفَمَن
Then is (he) whom
وَعَدۡنَـٰهُ
We have promised him
وَعۡدًا
a promise
حَسَنًا
good
فَهُوَ
and he
لَـٰقِيهِ
(will) meet it
كَمَن
like (the one) whom
مَّتَّعۡنَـٰهُ
We provided him
مَتَـٰعَ
enjoyment
ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ
(of the) life
ٱلدُّنۡيَا
(of) the world
ثُمَّ
then
هُوَ
he
يَوۡمَ
(on the) Day
ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ
(of) the Resurrection
مِنَ
(will be) among
ٱلۡمُحۡضَرِينَ
those presented
٦١
Then is he whom We have promised a good promise which he will meet [i.e., obtain] like he for whom We provided enjoyment of worldly life [but] then he is, on the Day of Resurrection, among those presented [for punishment in Hell]?
28:62
وَيَوۡمَ
And (the) Day
يُنَادِيهِمۡ
He will call them
فَيَقُولُ
and say
أَيۡنَ
Where
شُرَكَآءِىَ
(are) My partners
ٱلَّذِينَ
whom
كُنتُمۡ
you used (to)
تَزۡعُمُونَ
claim
٦٢
And [warn of] the Day He will call them and say, "Where are My 'partners' which you used to claim?"
28:63
قَالَ
(Will) say
ٱلَّذِينَ
those
حَقَّ
(has) come true
عَلَيۡهِمُ
against whom
ٱلۡقَوۡلُ
the Word
رَبَّنَا
Our Lord
هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ
These
ٱلَّذِينَ
(are) those whom
أَغۡوَيۡنَآ
we led astray
أَغۡوَيۡنَـٰهُمۡ
We led them astray
كَمَا
as
غَوَيۡنَا‌ۖ
we were astray
تَبَرَّأۡنَآ
We declare our innocence
إِلَيۡكَ‌ۖ
before You
مَا
Not
كَانُوٓاۡ
they used (to)
إِيَّانَا
worship us
يَعۡبُدُونَ
worship us
٦٣
Those upon whom the word1 will have come into effect will say, "Our Lord, these are the ones we led to error. We led them to error just as we were in error. We declare our disassociation [from them] to You. They did not used to worship [i.e., obey] us."2
28:64
وَقِيلَ
And it will be said
ٱدۡعُواۡ
Call
شُرَكَآءَكُمۡ
your partners
فَدَعَوۡهُمۡ
And they will call them
فَلَمۡ
but not
يَسۡتَجِيبُواۡ
they will respond
لَهُمۡ
to them
وَرَأَوُاۡ
and they will see
ٱلۡعَذَابَ‌ۚ
the punishment
لَوۡ
If only
أَنَّهُمۡ
[that] they
كَانُواۡ
had been
يَهۡتَدُونَ
guided
٦٤
And it will be said, "Invoke your 'partners,'" and they will invoke them; but they will not respond to them, and they will see the punishment. If only they had followed guidance!
28:65
وَيَوۡمَ
And (the) Day
يُنَادِيهِمۡ
He will call them
فَيَقُولُ
and say
مَاذَآ
What
أَجَبۡتُمُ
did you answer
ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
the Messengers
٦٥
And [mention] the Day He will call them and say, "What did you answer the messengers?"
28:66
فَعَمِيَتۡ
But (will) be obscure
عَلَيۡهِمُ
to them
ٱلۡأَنۢبَآءُ
the information
يَوۡمَئِذٍ
that day
فَهُمۡ
so they
لَا
will not ask one another
يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
will not ask one another
٦٦
But the information1 will be unapparent to them that Day, so they will not [be able to] ask one another.
28:67
فَأَمَّا
But as for
مَن
(him) who
تَابَ
repented
وَءَامَنَ
and believed
وَعَمِلَ
and did
صَـٰلِحًا
righteousness
فَعَسَىٰٓ
then perhaps
أَن
[that]
يَكُونَ
he will be
مِنَ
of
ٱلۡمُفۡلِحِينَ
the successful ones
٦٧
But as for one who had repented, believed, and done righteousness, it is expected [i.e., promised by Allāh] that he will be among the successful.
28:68
وَرَبُّكَ
And your Lord
يَخۡلُقُ
creates
مَا
what
يَشَآءُ
He wills
وَيَخۡتَارُ‌ۗ
and chooses
مَا
Not
كَانَ
they have
لَهُمُ
for them
ٱلۡخِيَرَةُ‌ۚ
the choice
سُبۡحَـٰنَ
Glory be
ٱللَّهِ
(to) Allah
وَتَعَـٰلَىٰ
and High is He
عَمَّا
above what
يُشۡرِكُونَ
they associate (with Him)
٦٨
And your Lord creates what He wills and chooses; not for them was the choice. Exalted is Allāh and high above what they associate with Him.
28:69
وَرَبُّكَ
And your Lord
يَعۡلَمُ
knows
مَا
what
تُكِنُّ
conceals
صُدُورُهُمۡ
their breasts
وَمَا
and what
يُعۡلِنُونَ
they declare
٦٩
And your Lord knows what their breasts conceal and what they declare.
28:70
وَهُوَ
And He
ٱللَّهُ
(is) Allah
لَآ
(there is) no
إِلَـٰهَ
god
إِلَّا
but
هُوَ‌ۖ
He
لَهُ
To Him
ٱلۡحَمۡدُ
(are due) all praises
فِى

ٱلۡأُولَىٰ
the first
وَٱلۡأَخِرَةِ‌ۖ
and the last
وَلَهُ
And for Him
ٱلۡحُكۡمُ
(is) the Decision
وَإِلَيۡهِ
and to Him
تُرۡجَعُونَ
you will be returned
٧٠
And He is Allāh; there is no deity except Him. To Him is [due all] praise in the first [life] and the Hereafter. And His is the [final] decision, and to Him you will be returned.

Say, "Have you considered: if Allāh should make for you the day continuous until the Day of Resurrection, what deity other than Allāh could bring you a night in which you may rest? Then will you not see?"
28:73

And out of His mercy He made for you the night and the day that you may rest therein and [by day] seek from His bounty and [that] perhaps you will be grateful.
28:74

And We will draw forth

a witness
فَقُلۡنَا
and We will say

Then they will know

And We will extract from every nation a witness and say, "Produce your proof," and they will know that the truth belongs to Allāh, and lost from them is that which they used to invent.

Indeed

but he oppressed

And We gave him

ٱلۡكُنُوزِ
the treasures

which
إِنَّ
indeed
مَفَاتِحَهُۥ
(the) keys of it
لَتَنُوٓأُ
would burden

a company (of men)

possessors of great strength
ٱلۡقُوَّةِ
possessors of great strength
إِذۡ
When

said

إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
لَا
(does) not
يُحِبُّ
love
ٱلۡفَرِحِينَ
the exultant
٧٦
Indeed, Qārūn was from the people of Moses, but he tyrannized them. And We gave him of treasures whose keys would burden a band of strong men; thereupon his people said to him, "Do not exult. Indeed, Allāh does not like the exultant.
28:77

But seek

But seek, through that which Allāh has given you, the home of the Hereafter; and [yet], do not forget your share of the world. And do good as Allāh has done good to you. And desire not corruption in the land. Indeed, Allāh does not like corrupters."
28:78
قَالَ
He said
إِنَّمَآ

يُسۡــَٔلُ

عَن
about
ذُنُوبِهِمُ
their sins
ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ
the criminals
٧٨
He said, "I was only given it because of knowledge I have." Did he not know that Allāh had destroyed before him of generations those who were greater than him in power and greater in accumulation [of wealth]? But the criminals, about their sins, will not be asked.1
28:79
فَخَرَجَ
So he went forth
عَلَىٰ
to
قَوۡمِهِۦ
his people
فِى

زِينَتِهِۦ‌ۖ
his adornment

Said

those who

the life

O! Would that

إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed, he
لَذُو

(of) fortune
عَظِيمٍ
great
٧٩
So he came out before his people in his adornment. Those who desired the worldly life said, "Oh, would that we had like what was given to Qārūn. Indeed, he is one of great fortune."
28:80
وَقَالَ
But said
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
أُوتُواۡ
were given

Woe to you

righteous (deeds)
وَلَا
And not
يُلَقَّـٰهَآ
it is granted

(to) the patient ones
٨٠
But those who had been given knowledge said, "Woe to you! The reward of Allāh is better for he who believes and does righteousness. And none are granted it except the patient."
28:81
فَخَسَفۡنَا
Then We caused to swallow up
بِهِۦ
him
وَبِدَارِهِ

٨١
And We caused the earth to swallow him and his home. And there was for him no company to aid him other than Allāh, nor was he of those who [could] defend themselves.
28:82
وَأَصۡبَحَ
And began
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
تَمَنَّوۡاۡ
(had) wished
مَكَانَهُۥ
his position

the day before
يَقُولُونَ
(to) say
وَيۡكَأَنَّ
Ah! That
ٱللَّهَ
Allah

If not

ٱللَّهُ
Allah had favored

وَيۡكَأَنَّهُۥ
Ah! That
لَا
not

٨٢
And those who had wished for his position the previous day began to say, "Oh, how Allāh extends provision to whom He wills of His servants and restricts it! If not that Allāh had conferred favor on us, He would have caused it to swallow us. Oh, how the disbelievers do not succeed!"
28:83
تِلۡكَ
That

the Home
ٱلۡأَخِرَةُ

And the good end
لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ

٨٣
That home of the Hereafter We assign to those who do not desire exaltedness upon the earth or corruption. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous.

Whoever comes [on the Day of Judgement] with a good deed will have better than it; and whoever comes with an evil deed - then those who did evil deeds will not be recompensed except [as much as] what they used to do.

And do not invoke with Allāh another deity. There is no deity except Him. Everything will be destroyed except His Face.1 His is the judgement, and to Him you will be returned.
