20:28So they can understand my speech.

20:45They said, “Lord, we fear he may persecute us, or become violent.”

20:62They disagreed among themselves over their affair, and conferred secretly.

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.

20:65They said, “O Moses, either you throw, or we will be the first to throw.”

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.”

20:70And the magicians fell down prostrate. They said, “We have believed in the Lord of Aaron and Moses.”

20:72They said, “We will not prefer you to the proofs that have come to us, and Him who created us. So issue whatever judgment you wish to issue. You can only rule in this lowly life.

20:84He said, “They are following in my footsteps; and I hurried on to You, my Lord, that you may be pleased.”

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.”

20:89Did they not see that it cannot return a word to them, and has no power to harm them or benefit them?

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

20:96He said, “I saw what they did not see, so I grasped a handful from the Messenger’s traces, and I flung it away. Thus my soul prompted me.”

20:104We are fully aware of what they say, when the most exemplary of them in conduct will say, “You have lingered only a day.”

20:105And they ask you about the mountains. Say, “My Lord will crumble them utterly.”

20:108On that Day, they will follow the caller, without any deviation. Voices will be hushed before the Merciful, and you will hear nothing but murmur.

20:110He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they cannot comprehend Him in their knowledge.

20:113Thus We have revealed it an Arabic Quran, and We have diversified the warnings in it, that perhaps they would become righteous, or it may produce a lesson for them.

20:116And when We said to the angels, “Bow down to Adam.” They bowed down, except for Satan; he refused.

20:121And so they ate from it; whereupon their bodies became visible to them, and they started covering themselves with the leaves of the Garden. Thus Adam disobeyed his Lord, and fell.

20:128Is it not instructive to them, how many generations before them We destroyed, in whose settlements they walk? Surely in that are signs for people of understanding.

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.

20:133And they say, “Why does he not bring us a miracle from his Lord?” Were they not given enough miracles in the former scriptures?

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.”
