I swear by the illustrious Book.
3
that We have revealed the Quran on a blessed night to warn mankind.
4
On this night, every absolute command coming from Us becomes distinguishable.
5
The command that We have been sending
6
as a mercy (for the human being) from your Lord. Your Lord is All-hearing and All-knowing.
7
He is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if only you would have strong faith.
8
There is only One Lord. It is He who gives life and causes things to die. He is your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers.
9
In fact, the unbelievers have doubts because of excessive involvement in worldly affairs.
10
Wait for the day (which will come before the Day of Judgment) when the sky will give out dense smoke
11
which will smother the people. They will say, "This is a painful torment.
12
Lord, remove this torment from us for we are believers".
13
How could this punishment bring them to their senses when a Messenger evidently had come to them,
14
and they turned away, saying, "He is a trained and insane person".
15
We shall remove the torment for a while but you will revert to your old ways.
16
However, We shall truly take Our revenge on the day when the great seizure takes place.
17
We had certainly tested the people of the Pharaoh before them to whom a noble Messengers had come, saying,
18
Send the servants of God with me. I am a trustworthy Messenger sent to you.
19
Do not consider yourselves above God? I shall show you a manifest authority (in support of my truthfulness).
20
I seek protection from my Lord and your Lord from your decision of stoning me.
21
If you do not want to believe, leave me alone".
22
Moses addressed his Lord, saying, "Lord, these people are sinners".
23
We told him, "Leave the city with My servants during the night. You will be pursued.
24
Cross the sea by cutting a path through it. Pharaoh's army will be drowned.
25
How many were the gardens, springs,
26
corn-fields, gracious mansions,
27
and other bounties which they enjoyed yet left behind!
28
We gave these as an inheritance to other people.
29
The sky nor the earth cried for them, nor were they given respite.
30
We rescued the Israelites from the humiliating torment
