تِلكَ آياتُ الكِتابِ المُبينِ

These are the verses of the Enlightening Book.

إِنَّ فِرعَونَ عَلا فِي الأَرضِ وَجَعَلَ أَهلَها شِيَعًا يَستَضعِفُ طائِفَةً مِنهُم يُذَبِّحُ أَبناءَهُم وَيَستَحيي نِساءَهُم ۚ إِنَّهُ كانَ مِنَ المُفسِدينَ

Pharaoh exalted himself in the land, dividing its people into sects. He oppressed a group among them, slaughtering their sons while sparing their women. He was among the corruptors.

وَنُريدُ أَن نَمُنَّ عَلَى الَّذينَ استُضعِفوا فِي الأَرضِ وَنَجعَلَهُم أَئِمَّةً وَنَجعَلَهُمُ الوارِثينَ

Yet, We intended to show favor upon those oppressed in the land, and make them leaders, and make them the inheritors.

وَنُمَكِّنَ لَهُم فِي الأَرضِ وَنُرِيَ فِرعَونَ وَهامانَ وَجُنودَهُما مِنهُم ما كانوا يَحذَرونَ

And to establish them in the land. And to show Pharaoh, Haman, and their troops from them what they were fearing.

وَأَوحَينا إِلىٰ أُمِّ موسىٰ أَن أَرضِعيهِ ۖ فَإِذا خِفتِ عَلَيهِ فَأَلقيهِ فِي اليَمِّ وَلا تَخافي وَلا تَحزَني ۖ إِنّا رادّوهُ إِلَيكِ وَجاعِلوهُ مِنَ المُرسَلينَ

We inspired Moses’ mother: “Suckle him, and if you fear for him, cast him into the river, and don’t fear nor grieve. We will return him to you and make him one of the messengers.”

فَالتَقَطَهُ آلُ فِرعَونَ لِيَكونَ لَهُم عَدُوًّا وَحَزَنًا ۗ إِنَّ فِرعَونَ وَهامانَ وَجُنودَهُما كانوا خاطِئينَ

Pharaoh’s family picked him up, unaware he would become their adversary and bring them sorrow. Pharaoh, Haman, and their troops were sinful.
