قُلنا لا تَخَف إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الأَعلىٰ

Allah said, "Fear not. Indeed, it is you who are superior.

وَأَلقِ ما في يَمينِكَ تَلقَف ما صَنَعوا ۖ إِنَّما صَنَعوا كَيدُ ساحِرٍ ۖ وَلا يُفلِحُ السّاحِرُ حَيثُ أَتىٰ

And throw what is in your right hand; it will swallow up what they have crafted. What they have crafted is but the trick of a magician, and the magician will not succeed wherever he is."

فَأُلقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سُجَّدًا قالوا آمَنّا بِرَبِّ هارونَ وَموسىٰ

So the magicians fell down in prostration. They said, "We have believed in the Lord of Aaron and Moses."

قالَ آمَنتُم لَهُ قَبلَ أَن آذَنَ لَكُم ۖ إِنَّهُ لَكَبيرُكُمُ الَّذي عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحرَ ۖ فَلَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيدِيَكُم وَأَرجُلَكُم مِن خِلافٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُم في جُذوعِ النَّخلِ وَلَتَعلَمُنَّ أَيُّنا أَشَدُّ عَذابًا وَأَبقىٰ

[Pharaoh] said, "You believed him before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic. So I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you on the trunks of palm trees, and you will surely know which of us is more severe in [giving] punishment and more enduring."

قالوا لَن نُؤثِرَكَ عَلىٰ ما جاءَنا مِنَ البَيِّناتِ وَالَّذي فَطَرَنا ۖ فَاقضِ ما أَنتَ قاضٍ ۖ إِنَّما تَقضي هـٰذِهِ الحَياةَ الدُّنيا

They said, "Never will we prefer you over what has come to us of clear proofs and [over] He who created us. So decree whatever you are to decree. You can only decree for this worldly life.

إِنَّهُ مَن يَأتِ رَبَّهُ مُجرِمًا فَإِنَّ لَهُ جَهَنَّمَ لا يَموتُ فيها وَلا يَحيىٰ

Indeed, whoever comes to his Lord as a criminal - indeed, for him is Hell; he will neither die therein nor live.

وَمَن يَأتِهِ مُؤمِنًا قَد عَمِلَ الصّالِحاتِ فَأُولـٰئِكَ لَهُمُ الدَّرَجاتُ العُلىٰ

But whoever comes to Him as a believer having done righteous deeds - for those will be the highest degrees [in position]:

جَنّاتُ عَدنٍ تَجري مِن تَحتِهَا الأَنهارُ خالِدينَ فيها ۚ وَذٰلِكَ جَزاءُ مَن تَزَكّىٰ

Gardens of perpetual residence beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. And that is the reward of one who purifies himself.

وَلَقَد أَوحَينا إِلىٰ موسىٰ أَن أَسرِ بِعِبادي فَاضرِب لَهُم طَريقًا فِي البَحرِ يَبَسًا لا تَخافُ دَرَكًا وَلا تَخشىٰ

And We had inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants and strike for them a dry path through the sea; you will not fear being overtaken [by Pharaoh] nor be afraid [of drowning]."

فَأَتبَعَهُم فِرعَونُ بِجُنودِهِ فَغَشِيَهُم مِنَ اليَمِّ ما غَشِيَهُم

So Pharaoh pursued them with his soldiers, and there covered them from the sea that which covered them,
