M.M.Pickthall 28:1

2

These are revelations of the Scripture that maketh plain.

M.M.Pickthall 28:2

3

We narrate unto thee (somewhat) of the story of Moses and Pharaoh with truth, for folk who believe.

M.M.Pickthall 28:3

4

Lo! Pharaoh exalted himself in the earth and made its people castes. A tribe among them he oppressed, killing their sons and sparing their women. Lo! he was of those who work corruption.

M.M.Pickthall 28:4

5

And We desired to show favour unto those who were oppressed in the earth, and to make them examples and to make them the inheritors,

M.M.Pickthall 28:5

6

And to establish them in the earth, and to show Pharaoh and Haman and their hosts that which they feared from them.

M.M.Pickthall 28:6

7

And We inspired the mother of Moses, saying: Suckle him and, when thou fearest for him, then cast him into the river and fear not nor grieve. Lo! We shall bring him back unto thee and shall make him (one) of Our messengers.

M.M.Pickthall 28:7

8

And the family of Pharaoh took him up, that he might become for them an enemy and a sorrow. Lo! Pharaoh and Haman and their hosts were ever sinning.

M.M.Pickthall 28:8

9

And the wife of Pharaoh said: (He will be) a consolation for me and for thee. Kill him not. Peradventure he may be of use to us, or we may choose him for a son. And they perceived not.

M.M.Pickthall 28:9

10

And the heart of the mother of Moses became void, and she would have betrayed him if We had not fortified her heart, that she might be of the believers.

M.M.Pickthall 28:10

11

And she said unto his sister: Trace him. So she observed him from afar, and they perceived not.

M.M.Pickthall 28:11

12

And We had before forbidden foster-mothers for him, so she said: Shall I show you a household who will rear him for you and take care of him?

M.M.Pickthall 28:12

13

So We restored him to his mother that she might be comforted and not grieve, and that she might know that the promise of Allah is true. But most of them know not.

M.M.Pickthall 28:13

14

And when he reached his full strength and was ripe, We gave him wisdom and knowledge. Thus do We reward the good.

M.M.Pickthall 28:14

15

And he entered the city at a time of carelessness of its folk, and he found therein two men fighting, one of his own caste, and the other of his enemies; and he who was of his caste asked him for help against him who was of his enemies. So Moses struck him with his fist and killed him. He said: This is of the devil's doing. Lo! he is an enemy, a mere misleader.

M.M.Pickthall 28:15

16

He said: My Lord! Lo! I have wronged my soul, so forgive me. Then He forgave him. Lo! He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.

M.M.Pickthall 28:16

17

He said: My Lord! Forasmuch as Thou hast favoured me, I will nevermore be a supporter of the guilty.

M.M.Pickthall 28:17

18

And morning found him in the city, fearing, vigilant, when behold! he who had appealed to him the day before cried out to him for help. Moses said unto him: Lo! thou art indeed a mere hothead.

M.M.Pickthall 28:18

19

And when he would have fallen upon the man who was an enemy unto them both, he said: O Moses! Wouldst thou kill me as thou didst kill a person yesterday? Thou wouldst be nothing but a tyrant in the land, thou wouldst not be of the reformers.

M.M.Pickthall 28:19

20

And a man came from the uttermost part of the city, running. He said: O Moses! Lo! the chiefs take counsel against thee to slay thee; therefore escape. Lo! I am of those who give thee good advice.

M.M.Pickthall 28:20

21

So he escaped from thence, fearing, vigilant. He said: My Lord! Deliver me from the wrong-doing folk.

M.M.Pickthall 28:21

22

And when he turned his face toward Midian, he said: Peradventure my Lord will guide me in the right road.

M.M.Pickthall 28:22

23

And when he came unto the water of Midian he found there a whole tribe of men, watering. And he found apart from them two women keeping back (their flocks). He said: What aileth you? The two said: We cannot give (our flocks) to drink till the shepherds return from the water; and our father is a very old man.

M.M.Pickthall 28:23

24

So he watered (their flock) for them. Then he turned aside into the shade, and said: My Lord! I am needy of whatever good thou sendest down for me.

M.M.Pickthall 28:24

25

Then there came unto him one of the two women, walking shyly. She said: Lo! my father biddeth thee, that he may reward thee with a payment for that thou didst water (the flock) for us. Then, when he came unto him and told him the (whole) story, he said: Fear not! Thou hast escaped from the wrong-doing folk.

M.M.Pickthall 28:25

26

One of the two women said: O my father! Hire him! For the best (man) that thou canst hire is the strong, the trustworthy.

M.M.Pickthall 28:26

27

He said: Lo! I fain would marry thee to one of these two daughters of mine on condition that thou hirest thyself to me for (the term of) eight pilgrimages. Then if thou completest ten it will be of thine own accord, for I would not make it hard for thee. Allah willing, thou wilt find me of the righteous.

M.M.Pickthall 28:27

28

He said: That (is settled) between thee and me. Whichever of the two terms I fulfil, there will be no injustice to me, and Allah is Surety over what we say.

M.M.Pickthall 28:28

29

Then, when Moses had fulfilled the term, and was travelling with his housefolk, he saw in the distance a fire and said unto his housefolk: Bide ye (here). Lo! I see in the distance a fire; peradventure I shall bring you tidings thence, or a brand from the fire that you may warm yourselves.

M.M.Pickthall 28:29

30

And when he reached it, he was called from the right side of the valley in the blessed field, from the tree: O Moses! Lo! I, even I, am Allah, the Lord of the Worlds;
