وَواٰعَدْناٰ مُوسٰی ثَلاٰثٖینَ لَیْلَةً وَاَتْمَمْناٰهاٰ بِعَشْرٍ فَتَمَّ مٖیقاٰتُ رَبِّهٖٓ اَرْبَعٖینَ لَیْلَةًۚ وَقاٰلَ مُوسٰی لِاَخٖیهِ هاٰرُونَ اخْلُفْنٖی فٖی قَوْمٖی وَاَصْلِحْ وَلاٰ تَتَّبِعْ سَبٖیلَ الْمُفْسِدٖینَ۝١٤٢۝وَلَمّاٰ جآٰءَ مُوسٰی لِمٖیقاٰتِناٰ وَكَلَّمَهُۥ رَبُّهُۥ قاٰلَ رَبِّ اَرِنٖیٓ اَنْظُرْ اِلَیْكَۚ قاٰلَ لَنْ تَراٰنٖی وَلٰكِنِ انْظُرْ اِلَی الْجَبَلِ فَاِنِ اسْتَقَرَّ مَكاٰنَهُۥ فَسَوْفَ تَراٰنٖیۚ فَلَمّاٰ تَجَلّٰی رَبُّهُۥ لِلْجَبَلِ جَعَلَهُۥ دَكًّا وَخَرَّ مُوسٰی صَعِقًاۚ فَلَمّآٰ اَفاٰقَ قاٰلَ سُبْحاٰنَكَ تُبْتُ اِلَیْكَ وَاَنَا اَوَّلُ الْمُؤْمِنٖینَ۝١٤٣۝قاٰلَ یاٰ مُوسٰٓی اِنِّی اصْطَفَیْتُكَ عَلَی النّاٰسِ بِرِساٰلاٰتٖی وَبِكَلاٰمٖی فَخُذْ مآٰ ءاٰتَیْتُكَ وَكُنْ مِنَ الشّاٰكِرٖینَ۝١٤٤۝وَكَتَبْناٰ لَهُۥ فِی الْاَلْواٰحِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَیْءٍ مَوْعِظَةً

الرّاٰحِمٖینَ۝١٥١۝اِنَّ الَّذٖینَ اتَّخَذُوا الْعِجْلَ سَیَناٰلُهُمْ غَضَبٌ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ وَذِلَّةٌ فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیاٰۚ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِی الْمُفْتَرٖینَ۝١٥٢۝وَالَّذٖینَ عَمِلُوا السَّیِّئاٰتِ ثُمَّ تاٰبُوا مِنْ بَعْدِهاٰ وَءاٰمَنُوٓا اِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنْ بَعْدِهاٰ لَغَفُورٌ رَحٖیمٌ۝١٥٣۝وَلَمّاٰ سَكَتَ عَنْ مُوسَی الْغَضَبُ اَخَذَ الْاَلْواٰحَۖ وَفٖی نُسْخَتِهاٰ هُدًی وَرَحْمَةٌ لِلَّذٖینَ

 We made an appointment with Moses for thirty nights, and completed them with ten [more]; thus the tryst of his Lord was completed in forty nights. And Moses said to Aaron, his brother, ‘Be my successor among my people, and set things right and do not follow the way of the agents of corruption.’ ﴾142﴿When Moses arrived at Our tryst and his Lord spoke to him, he said, ‘My Lord, show [Yourself] to me, that I may look at You!’ He said, ‘You shall not see Me. But look at the mountain: if it abides in its place, then you will see Me.’ So when his Lord disclosed Himself to the mountain, He levelled it, and Moses fell down swooning. When he recovered, he said, ‘Immaculate are You! I turn to You in penitence, and I am the first of the faithful.’ ﴾143﴿He said, ‘O Moses, I have chosen you over the people with My messages and My speech. So take what I give you, and be among the grateful.’ ﴾144﴿We wrote for him in the tablets advice concerning all things and an elaboration of all things, [and We said], ‘Hold on to them with power, and bid your people to hold on to the best of [what is in] them. Soon I shall show you the abode of the transgressors. ﴾145﴿Soon I shall turn away from My signs those who are unduly arrogant in the earth: [even] though they should see every sign, they will not believe in it, and if they see the way of rectitude they will not take it as [their] way, and if they see the way of error they will take it as [their] way. That is because they deny Our signs and are oblivious to them.’ ﴾146﴿Those who deny Our signs and the encounter of the Hereafter, their works have failed. Shall they not be requited for what they used to do? ﴾147﴿The people of Moses took up in his absence a calf [cast] from their ornaments—a body that gave out a lowing sound. Did they not regard that it did not speak to them, nor did it guide them to any way? They took it up [for worship] and they were wrongdoers. ﴾148﴿But when they became remorseful and realised they had gone astray, they said, ‘Should our Lord have no mercy on us, and forgive us, we will be surely among the losers.’ ﴾149﴿When Moses returned to his people, angry and indignant, he said, ‘Evil has been your conduct in my absence! Would you hasten on the edict of your Lord?’ He threw down the tablets and seized his brother by the head, pulling him towards himself. He said, ‘Son of my mother, indeed this people thought me to be weak, and they were about to kill me. So do not let the enemies gloat over me, and do not take me with the wrongdoing lot.’ ﴾150﴿He said, ‘My Lord, forgive me and my brother, and admit us into Your mercy, for You are the most merciful of the merciful. ﴾151﴿Indeed those who took up the calf [for worship] shall be overtaken by their Lord’s wrath and abasement in the life of the world.’ Thus do We requite the fabricators [of lies]. ﴾152﴿Yet [to] those who commit misdeeds but repent after that, and believe—indeed, after that, your Lord shall surely be all-forgiving, all-merciful. ﴾153﴿When Moses’ indignation abated, he picked up the tablets whose inscriptions contained guidance and mercy for those who are in awe of their Lord. ﴾154﴿Moses chose seventy men from his people for Our tryst, and when the earthquake seized them, he said, ‘My Lord, had You wished, You would have destroyed them and me before. Will You destroy us because of what the fools amongst us have done? It is only Your test, by which You lead astray whomever You wish and guide whomever You wish. You are our master, so forgive us and have mercy on us, for You are the best of those who forgive. ﴾155﴿And appoint goodness for us in this world and the Hereafter, for indeed we have come back to You.’ Said He, ‘I visit My punishment on whomever I wish, but My mercy embraces all things. Soon I shall appoint it for those who are Godwary and give the zakat and those who believe in Our signs ﴾156﴿—those who follow the Apostle, the untaught prophet, whose mention they find written with them in the Torah and the Evangel, who bids them to do what is right and forbids them from what is wrong, makes lawful to them all the good things and forbids them from all vicious things, and relieves them of their burdens and the shackles that were upon them—those who believe in him, honour him, and help him and follow the light that has been sent down with him, they are the felicitous.’ ﴾157﴿Say, ‘O mankind! I am the Apostle of Allah to you all, [of Him] to whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. There is no god except Him. He gives life and brings death.’ So have faith in Allah and His Apostle, the untaught prophet, who has faith in Allah and His words, and follow him so that you may be guided. ﴾158﴿Among the people of Moses is a nation who guide [the people] by the truth and do justice thereby. ﴾159﴿We split them up into twelve tribal communities, and We revealed to Moses, when his people asked him for water, [saying], ‘Strike the rock with your staff,’ whereat twelve fountains gushed forth from it. Every tribe came to know its drinking-place. And We shaded them with clouds, and We sent down to them manna and quails: ‘Eat of the good things We have provided you.’ And they did not wrong Us, but they used to wrong [only] themselves. ﴾160﴿And when they were told, ‘Settle in this town and eat thereof whence you wish; and say, ‘‘Relieve [us of the burden of our sins],’’ and enter prostrating at the gate, that We may forgive your iniquities, and soon We shall enhance the virtuous.’ ﴾161﴿But the wrongdoers changed the saying with other than what they had been told. So We sent against them a plague from the sky because of the wrongs they used to commit. ﴾162﴿Ask them about the town that was situated on the seaside, when they violated the Sabbath, when their fish would come to them on the Sabbath day, visibly on the shore, but on days when they were not keeping Sabbath they would not come to them. Thus did We test them because of the transgressions they used to commit. ﴾163﴿When a group of them said, ‘Why do you advise a people whom Allah will destroy, or punish with a severe punishment?’ They said, ‘As an excuse before your Lord, and [with the hope] that they may be Godwary.’ ﴾164﴿So when they forgot what they had been reminded of, We delivered those who forbade evil [conduct] and seized the wrongdoers with a terrible punishment because of the transgressions they used to commit. ﴾165﴿When they defied [the command pertaining to] what they were forbidden from, We said to them, ‘Be you spurned apes.’ ﴾166﴿And when your Lord proclaimed that He would surely send against them, until the Day of Resurrection, those who would inflict on them a terrible punishment. Indeed your Lord is swift in retribution, and indeed, He is all-forgiving, all-merciful. ﴾167﴿We dispersed them into communities around the earth: some of them were righteous, and some of them otherwise, and We tested them with good and bad [times] so that they may come back. ﴾168﴿Then they were succeeded by an evil posterity, which inherited the Book: they grab the transitory gains of this lower world, and say, ‘It will be forgiven us.’ And if similar transitory gains were to come their way, they would grab them too. Was not the covenant of the Book taken with them that they shall not attribute anything to Allah except the truth? They have studied what is in it, and [know that] the abode of the Hereafter is better for those who are Godwary. Do you not exercise your reason? ﴾169﴿As for those who hold fast to the Book and maintain the prayer—indeed, We do not waste the reward of those who bring about reform. ﴾170﴿
