إِنَّآ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّنَا لِيَغْفِرَ لَنَا خَطَـٰيَـٰنَا وَمَآ أَكْرَهْتَنَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلسِّحْرِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ innā āmannā birabbinā liyaghfira lanā khaṭāyānā wa mā akrahtanā `alayhi minas siḥr ۗ wallāhu khayrun wa-abqā We have indeed believed in our Lord that He may forgive us our offences and the magic you compelled us to perform. Allah is better and more lasting.’

Do not be afraid of being overtaken, and have no fear [of getting drowned].
78

He said, ‘O my people! Did your Lord not give you a true promise? Did the period [of my absence] seem too long to you? Or did you desire that your Lord’s wrath should descend on you and so you failed your tryst with me?’
87
قَالُوا۟ مَآ أَخْلَفْنَا مَوْعِدَكَ بِمَلْكِنَا وَلَـٰكِنَّا حُمِّلْنَآ أَوْزَارًا مِّن زِينَةِ ٱلْقَوْمِ فَقَذَفْنَـٰهَا فَكَذَٰلِكَ أَلْقَى ٱلسَّامِرِىُّ qālū mā akhlafnā maw`idaka bimalkinā walākinnā ḥummilnā awzāran min zīnatil qawmi faqadhafnāhā fakadhālika alqas sāmiriyy They said, ‘We did not fail our tryst with you of our own accord, but we were laden with the weight of those people’s ornaments, and we cast them [into the fire] and so did the Samiri.’

89

95
قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكَ يَـٰسَـٰمِرِىُّ qāla famā khaṭbuka yāsāmiriyy He said, ‘What is your business, O Samiri?’

We will burn it down and then scatter it[s ashes] into the sea.
98
إِنَّمَآ إِلَـٰهُكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ عِلْمًا innamā ilāhukumullāhul ladhī lā ilāha illā huw ۚ wasi`a kulla shay-in `il-mā Indeed your God is Allah. There is no god except Him. He embraces all things in [His] knowledge.’

Adam disobeyed his Lord, and went amiss.
122
ثُمَّ ٱجْتَبَـٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَتَابَ عَلَيْهِ وَهَدَىٰ thummaj-tabāhu rabbuhu fatāba `alayhi wahadā Then his Lord chose him, and turned to him clemently, and guided him.

Yet, should any guidance come to you from Me, those who follow My guidance will not go astray, nor will they be miserable.
124
وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِى فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُۥ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ أَعْمَىٰ wa man a`raḍa `an dhikrī fa-inna lahu ma`īshatan ḍankan wanaḥshuruhu yawmal qiyāmati a`mā But whoever disregards My remembrance, his shall be a wretched life, and We shall raise him blind on the Day of Resurrection.’
125
قَالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرْتَنِىٓ أَعْمَىٰ وَقَدْ كُنتُ بَصِيرًا qāla rabbi lima ḥashartanī a`mā waqad kuntu baṣīrā He will say, ‘My Lord! Why have You raised me blind, though I used to see?’

127

128
أَفَلَمْ يَهْدِ لَهُمْ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ يَمْشُونَ فِى مَسَـٰكِنِهِمْ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّأُو۟لِى ٱلنُّهَىٰ afalam yahdi lahum kam ahlaknā qablahum minal qurūni yamshūna fī masākinihim ۗ inna fī dhālika la-āyātin li-ulin nuhā Does it not dawn upon them how many generations We have destroyed before them, amid [the ruins of] whose dwellings they walk? There are indeed signs in this for those who have reason.
129
وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَكَانَ لِزَامًا وَأَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّى walawlā kalimatun sabaqat min rabbika lakāna lizāman wa-ajalun musammā Were it not for a prior decree of your Lord and a specified time, [their doom] would have attended [their guilt].
130
فَٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ ٱلشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا ۖ وَمِنْ ءَانَآئِ ٱلَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْ وَأَطْرَافَ ٱلنَّهَارِ لَعَلَّكَ تَرْضَىٰ faṣbir `alā mā yaqūlūna wasabbiḥ biḥamdi rabbika qabla ṭulū`ish shamsi waqabla ghurūbihā ۖ wa min ānā-il layli fasabbiḥ wa-aṭrāfan nahāri la`allaka tarḍā So be patient with what they say, and celebrate the praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before the sunset, and glorify Him in watches of the night and at the day’s ends, that you may be pleased.
131
وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزْوَٰجًا مِّنْهُمْ زَهْرَةَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ ۚ وَرِزْقُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ walā tamuddanna `aynayka ilā mā matta`nā bihi azwājan minhum zahratal ḥayātid dunyā linaftinahum fīh ۚ warizqu rabbika khayrun wa-abqā Do not extend your glance toward what We have provided certain groups of them as a glitter of the life of this world, so that We may test them thereby. The provision of your Lord is better and more lasting.
132
وَأْمُرْ أَهْلَكَ بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱصْطَبِرْ عَلَيْهَا ۖ لَا نَسْـَٔلُكَ رِزْقًا ۖ نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُكَ ۗ وَٱلْعَـٰقِبَةُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ wa-mur ahlaka biṣ ṣalāti waṣṭabir `alayhā ۖ lā nas-aluka rizqā ۖ naḥnu narzuquk ۗ wal `āqibatu littaqwā And bid your family to prayer and be steadfast in maintaining it. We do not ask any provision of you: it is We who provide for you, and to Godwariness belongs the ultimate outcome [in the Hereafter].
133
وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْلَا يَأْتِينَا بِـَٔايَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦٓ ۚ أَوَلَمْ تَأْتِهِم بَيِّنَةُ مَا فِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ waqālū lawlā ya-tīnā bi-āyatim min rabbih ۚ awalam ta-tihim bayyinatu mā fiṣ ṣuḥufil-ūlā They say, ‘Why does he not bring us a sign from his Lord?’ Has there not come to them a clear proof in that which is in the former scriptures?
134
وَلَوْ أَنَّآ أَهْلَكْنَـٰهُم بِعَذَابٍ مِّن قَبْلِهِۦ لَقَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَا لَوْلَآ أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولًا فَنَتَّبِعَ ءَايَـٰتِكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن نَّذِلَّ وَنَخْزَىٰ walaw annā ahlaknāhum bi`adhābin min qablihi laqālū rabbanā lawlā arsalta ilaynā rasūlan fanattabi`a āyātika min qabli an nadhilla wanakhzā Had We destroyed them with a punishment before it, they would have surely said, ‘Our Lord! Why did You not send us an apostle so that we might have followed Your signs before we were abased and disgraced?’
135
قُلْ كُلٌّ مُّتَرَبِّصٌ فَتَرَبَّصُوا۟ ۖ فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلصِّرَٰطِ ٱلسَّوِىِّ وَمَنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ qul kullun mutarabbiṣun fatarabbaṣū ۖ fasata`lamūna man aṣ-ḥābuṣ ṣirāṭis sawiyyi wa manih-tadā Say, ‘Everyone [of us] is waiting. So wait! Soon you will know who are the people of the right path, and who is [rightly] guided.’
