[28:1] TSM.

[28:2] These are the proofs of this clarifying scripture.

[28:3] We recite to you the news from Moses and Pharaoh truthfully for the people who have faith.

[28:4] Indeed Pharaoh exalted himself on the land and divided its inhabitants, where he oppressed a group of them killing their sons and brought shame to their females, indeed he was one of the corruptors.

[28:5] And We willed to bless those who were oppressed on the land and to give them the upper hand and make them inheritors.

[28:6] And We established them throughout the land and We had Pharaoh and Hamaan and their armies face the very thing they feared the most.

[28:7] And We inspired Moses' mother to continue breast feeding him, then when you fear for him, throw him into the sea and do not fear and do not grieve, We will surely return him to you and make him one of the messengers.

[28:8] Then, Pharaoh's people picked him up, only to become their enemy and a source of grief. Indeed Pharaoh, Hamaan and their troops were wrongdoers.

[28:9] Pharaoh's wife said; this is brightening my eyes and yours; do not kill him, he may be useful to us or we may adopt him as a son, and they had no clue.

[28:10] Moses' mother's heart was aching for him and she almost gave away his identity, if it were not for the fact that We made contact with her heart in order to make her one of the faithful.

[28:11] And she said to his sister, follow him, and she saw him from a distant place without them knowing.

[28:12] And We had forbidden him from accepting any nursing mother before, so she said; shall I introduce you to a family who can become his guardian for you and give him a good upbringing?

[28:13] We therefore returned him to his mother to brighten her eyes, and remove her sadness and in order for her to know that indeed God's promise is the truth, but most of them do not know.

[28:14] And when he reached maturity and an even keel, We gave him wisdom and knowledge. And We thus reward the righteous.

[28:15] And he entered the city, unbeknown to its inhabitants and found therein two men fighting, one from his people and the other one from his enemies. He then tried to help the one from his people against the one who was his enemy; Moses therefore punched him and killed him. He said; this is the deed of Satan, indeed he is a misleading, manifest enemy.

[28:16] He said; Lord indeed I transgressed against my soul; therefore, forgive me, He then forgave him. Indeed He is The All Forgiving, The All Merciful.

[28:17] He said; Lord, because You forgave me, I will never be a supporter of the guilty.

[28:18] He showed up the next day in the city fearful and watchful then when the one whom he had helped yesterday, called upon him. Moses told him; you are really a trouble maker.

[28:19] Then once he tried to attack the one who was the enemy of the two of them, he said; O Moses do you wish to kill me just like you killed a soul yesterday? You want to be a tyrant on the land, and you do not want to be righteous.

[28:20] And a man came from the far side of the city, running, he said; O Moses, a group is plotting to kill you, therefore, leave; I am indeed giving you good advice.

[28:21] He then fled from there frightened and watchful, saying Lord save me from the transgressing people.

[28:22] And he turned towards Median saying may my Lord guide me to the even path.

[28:23] And when he reached the waters of Median, he found a group of people watering and found two women being pushed around. He said; what are you doing? They said; we cannot get any water until the shepherds get their water and our father is an old man.

[28:24] He then got water for the two of them, and then took refuge under the shade and said, Lord whatever good you send me, I am indeed in need.

[28:25] Then one of the two came to him shyly, saying my father would certainly like to invite you to repay you for getting water for us. Then when he came to him and narrated his story to him, he said; do not fear, for you have been saved from the transgressing people.

[28:26] One of the two women said; O father, hire him, indeed it would be good to hire him, he is strong and honest.

[28:27] He said, I want you to marry one of my two daughters, conditioned upon that you work for me for eight years, however, if you complete it as ten, it would be up to you, I do not wish to burden you. You will find me God willing righteous.

[28:28] He said; this is between I and you, that either of the two interims I fulfill, shall not be any more burden on me and God is the guarantor of what we say.

[28:29] And when Moses fulfilled his interim, and traveled with his family, he saw a fire by the side of the mountain, he said to his family, stay put, I have indeed seen a fire, maybe, I will bring you news or a piece of the fire that you may be warm.

[28:30] Then when he reached it, he was called from the side of the blessed valley, in the blessed spot from the tree that O Moses, I am indeed God, Lord of the multiverse.

[28:31] And throw your staff, then when he saw it moving like a demon, he turned around and fled and did not look back. O Moses, come back and do not be afraid, you are perfectly secure.

[28:32] Put your hand in your pocket, it will come out white without ill and settle down your wings without fear for these are two proofs from your Lord to show to Pharaoh and his people. Indeed they are wicked people.

[28:33] He said; Lord, I have killed one of them, I therefore, fear that they may kill me.

[28:34] And my brother is a more eloquent speaker than me; therefore, send him with me as an assistant, that he may confirm me, I indeed fear that they may reject me.

[28:35] He said, I will strengthen your help with your brother and grant the two of you authority, so they will not be able to touch either of you. These are Our signs, through which the two of you and those who follow you both, shall overcome.

[28:36] Then when Moses came to them with Our proven Signs, they said; this is nothing but fabricated magic and we have never heard anything like this from our forefathers.

[28:37] And Moses said; my Lord knows best of those who come from Him with guidance, and who deserves the eternal abode. Indeed the transgressors never succeed.

[28:38] And Pharaoh said; O my people, do you know of any other god but me? Therefore, O Haaman, bake the mud and build me an elevator that I may obtain information about the god of Moses, for indeed I think he is a liar.

[28:39]  And he sought greatness together with his armies on the land without justification and thought that he will never return to Us.

[28:40] We, therefore, punished him along with his armies, as We threw them into the sea; therefore, observe the consequence for those who committed injustice.

[28:41] And We made them leaders who invited to Hell, and on the Day of Resurrection, they will not be helped.

[28:42] Damnation chased them in this world, and on the Day of Resurrection, they will be despised.

[28:43] And indeed We gave Moses the scripture after We annihilated the previous generations as a portent for the people and guidance and mercy that they may take heed.

[28:44] And you were not present on the west side when We completed upon Moses the law and you were not one of the witnesses.

[28:45] However, We initiate generations with long life-spans. You were also not a resident amongst the inhabitants of Median reciting Our signs, but We do send messengers.

[28:46] And, you were not present by the side of the mountain, when We called; however, it is mercy from your Lord to warn a people who have not received a warner before you, that they may take heed.

[28:47] And if an affliction strikes them due to their own handiwork, they would say, our Lord, had you sent us a messenger we would have followed your signs and would have become faithful.

[28:48] Then when the truth came to them from Us, they said if only we had been given the same as what was given to Moses. Did they not reject what was given to Moses in the past? They said, obviously a couple of magic tricks and they said, we indeed reject them all.

[28:49] Say; then bring a book from God that has more guidance than these two so I can follow it, if you are truthful.

[28:50] And if they cannot respond to you, then know that they only follow their own opinions. And who is more astray than the one who follows his own opinion without guidance from God? Indeed God does not guide the transgressing people.

[28:51] And We indeed delivered the message to them that they may take heed.

[28:52] As for those who have been given the scripture before, they do believe in this.

[28:53] And when it was recited to them, they said, we believe in this, indeed this is the truth from our Lord; we were indeed at peace even before this.

[28:54] These are the ones who receive twice the reward because of their steadfastness and they respond with goodness in the face of evil and from what We provide for them, they give.

[28:55] And when they hear nonsense they walk away and they say, we are responsible for our deeds and you are responsible for your deeds, peace upon you, we do not seek the ignorant ones.

[28:56] Surely you cannot guide your loved ones; only God guides whomever He wills. He knows best who the guided ones are.

[28:57] And they said; if we follow the guidance with you, we will be banished from our land. Did we not establish for them a sacred secure sanctuary wherein all kinds of fruits are provided as a provision from Our special place? But most of them do not know.

[28:58] And many a community We annihilated who were unappreciative of their livelihood, consequently here are their homes, only a few left to occupy their dwellings, and indeed We are the inheritors.

[28:59] And your Lord never annihilates a community unless He raises a messenger from them who recites Our signs to them. We never annihilate a community unless its inhabitants commit injustice.

[28:60] And what is given to them is the provision of this world and its vanities. And what is reserved at God is far better and everlasting. Do you not use your intelligence?

[28:61] Therefore, is the one who has given a good promise that he will join Him the same as the one whom We provide for him provisions of this world then he is summoned on the Day of Resurrection?

[28:62] And the day they are called, then, He will say where are My partners that you used to conjecture?

[28:63] Those who have been rightfully stamped say, our Lord, these are the ones whom we misled; we misled them because we were misled. Now we disown them for Your sake; they were really not worshipping us.

[28:64] And they are told, call upon your partners, they will then call them but they will not respond to them and they will come face to face with the torment. Indeed if only they were guided!

[28:65] And the day they are called, He will say; how was your response to the messengers?

[28:66] And they will be stunned by the news on that day, and they will not ask a single question.

[28:67] However, whoever repents and leads a righteous life, then, he may join the successful ones.

[28:68] And your Lord creates what He wills and chooses; while they have no choice. Glory to God far above what they set up as partners for Him.

[28:69] And your Lord knows what the chests hide and what they declare.

[28:70] And He is God, there is no god except He, to Him belong all praise in this world as well as in the Hereafter, and to Him belongs the reign and to Him you will return.

[28:71] Say; do you realize that if God made the night continuous for you until the Day of Resurrection, which god except God would bring you light? Do you not hear?

[28:72] Say; do you realize that if God made the day continuous for you until the Day of Resurrection, which god except God would bring you the night for you to rest? Do you not see?

[28:73] And out of His mercy, He made the night and the day for you to rest therein and to seek His bounty, that you may be grateful.

[28:74] And the day they are called, then, He will say where are My partners that you used to conjecture?

[28:75] And We will bring forth a witness from each community, then, We say; bring your proof, consequently, they realize that indeed the truth belongs to God and their own fabrications caused them to go astray.

[28:76] Indeed Qaroon was from the people of Moses, but he betrayed them, and We gave him treasures that even their keys could not be lifted by a group of strong men, as his people told him not to be euphoric, for God does not love those who are euphoric.

[28:77] And seek out through what God has bestowed upon you, the abode of the Hereafter, while not forgetting your share of this world, and do good as God has been good to you, and do not seek corruption on the land, indeed God does not love those who spread corruption.

[28:78] He said; indeed I have attained this because of my own cleverness. Did he not know that indeed God has annihilated before him generations who were more powerful than him and greater in number? And the guilty will not be asked about their sins.

[28:79] He then came out to his people in all his splendor, those who were seeking this worldly life said; O we wished we were given what is given to Qaroon, he indeed possesses good fortune.

[28:80] And those who were given knowledge said, woe to you, pleasing God is far better for those who have faith and lead a righteous life and no one can attain that except the patient ones.

[28:81] Consequently, We caused the ground to swallow him together with his home and no power other than God could help him, but he was not to be helped.

[28:82] And those who wished to be in his place yesterday were saying that indeed it is God who increases the provision for whomever He wills from amongst His servants and withholds it. If it were not for God's blessing we would have been buried alive. We now know that the unfaithful never succeed.

[28:83] This is the abode of the Hereafter that We have created for those who do not seek exaltation on the land and do not seek to corrupt it. Such is the destiny of the god-fearing.

[28:84] Whoever is righteous, then he will have a better share thereof, and those who commit evil, then the just requital for those who have committed evil is exactly equal to what they have done.

[28:85] Indeed the One who decreed the Quran for you will surely take you to the Hereafter. Say; my Lord knows best who is guided, and who is in manifest straying.

[28:86] And you did not expect to receive the scripture but this is a mercy from your Lord, therefore, do not support the unfaithful.

[28:87] And do not let them divert you from God's signs after they were revealed to you, and invite to your Lord, and do not be one of those who set up partners for god.

[28:88] And do not call with God any other god; there is no god except He. Everything perishes except His face. To Him belongs the reign and to Him you will return.
