20:12I—I am your Lord. Take off your shoes. You are in the sacred valley of Tuwa.

20:15The Hour is coming—but I keep it almost hidden—so that each soul will be paid for what it endeavors.

20:17And what is that in your right-hand, O Moses?”

20:22And press your hand to your side; it will come out white, without a blemish—another sign.

20:23That We may show you some of Our greatest signs.

20:36He said, “You are granted your request, O Moses.

20:38When We inspired your mother with the inspiration.

20:40When your sister walked along, and said, ‘Shall I tell you about someone who will take care of him?' So We returned you to your mother, that she may be comforted, and not sorrow. And you killed a person, but We saved you from stress; and We tested you thoroughly. And you stayed years among the people of Median. Then you came back, as ordained, O Moses.

20:42Go, you and your brother, with My signs, and do not neglect My remembrance.

20:47Approach him and say, `We are the messengers of your Lord; so let the Children of Israel go with us, and do not torment them. We bring you a sign from your Lord, and peace be upon him who follows guidance.

20:49He said, “Who is your Lord, O Moses.”

20:50He said, “Our Lord is He who gave everything its existence, then guided it.”

20:54Eat and pasture your livestock. In that are signs for those with understanding.

20:56We showed him Our signs, all of them, but he denied and refused.

20:57He said, “Did you come to us to drive us out of our land with your magic, O Moses?

20:59He said, “Your appointment is the day of the festival, so let the people be gathered together at mid-morning.”

20:63They said, “These two are magicians who want to drive you out of your land with their magic, and to abolish your exemplary way of life.

20:64So settle your plan, and come as one front. Today, whoever gains the upper hand will succeed.”

20:69Now throw down what is in your right hand—it will swallow what they have crafted. What they have crafted is only a magician’s trickery. But the magician will not succeed, no matter what he does.”

20:71He said, “Did you believe in him before I have given you permission? He must be your chief, who has taught you magic. I will cut off your hands and your feet on alternate sides, and I will crucify you on the trunks of the palm-trees. Then you will know which of us is more severe in punishment, and more lasting.”

20:73We have believed in our Lord, so that He may forgive us our sins, and the magic you have compelled us to practice. God is Better, and more Lasting.”

20:80O Children of Israel! We have delivered you from your enemy, and promised you by the right side of the Mount, and sent down to you manna and quails.

20:83“And what made you rush ahead of your people, O Moses?”

20:85He said, “We have tested your people in your absence, and the Samarian misled them.”

20:86So Moses returned to his people, angry and disappointed. He said, “O my people, did your Lord not promise you a good promise? Was the time too long for you? Or did you want wrath from your Lord to descend upon you, so you broke your promise to me?”

20:87They said, “We did not break our promise to you by our choice, but we were made to carry loads of the people’s ornaments, and we cast them in. That was what the Samarian suggested.”

20:88So he produced for them a calf—a mere body which lowed. And they said, “This is your god, and the god of Moses, but he has forgotten.”

20:90Aaron had said to them before, “O my people, you are being tested by this. And your Lord is the Merciful, so follow me, and obey my command.”

20:91They said, “We will not give up our devotion to it, until Moses returns to us.”

20:97He said, “Begone! Your lot in this life is to say, ‘No contact.’ And you have an appointment that you will not miss. Now look at your god that you remained devoted to—we will burn it up, and then blow it away into the sea, as powder.”

20:98Surely your god is God, the One besides whom there is no other god. He comprehends everything in knowledge.

20:99Thus We narrate to you reports of times gone by; and We have given you a message from Our Presence.

20:117We said, “O Adam, this is an enemy to you and to your wife. So do not let him make you leave the Garden, for then you will suffer.

20:126He will say, “Just as Our revelations came to you, and you forgot them, today you will be forgotten.”

20:129Were it not for a word that issued from your Lord, the inevitable would have happened, but there is an appointed term.

20:130So bear patiently what they say, and celebrate the praises of your Lord before the rising of the sun, and before its setting. And during the hours of the night glorify Him, and at the borders of the day, that you may be satisfied.

20:131And do not extend your glance towards what We have given some classes of them to enjoy—the splendor of the life of this world—that We may test them thereby. Your Lord’s provision is better, and more lasting.

20:132And exhort your people to pray, and patiently adhere to it. We ask of you no sustenance, but it is We who sustain you. The good ending is that for righteousness.

20:134Had We destroyed them with a punishment before him, they would have said, “Our Lord, if only You had sent us a messenger, we would have followed Your revelations before we were humiliated and disgraced.”
