28:4Pharaoh exalted himself in the land, and divided its people into factions. He persecuted a group of them, slaughtering their sons, while sparing their daughters. He was truly a corrupter.

28:5But We desired to favor those who were oppressed in the land, and to make them leaders, and to make them the inheritors.

28:6And to establish them in the land; and to show Pharaoh, Hamaan, and their troops, the very thing they feared.

28:8Pharaoh’s household picked him up, to be an opponent and a sorrow for them. Pharaoh, Hamaan, and their troops were sinners.

28:13Thus We returned him to his mother, that she may be comforted, and not grieve, and know that God’s promise is true. But most of them do not know.

28:24So he drew water for them, and then withdrew to the shade, and said, “My Lord, I am in dire need of whatever good you might send down to me.”

28:33He said, “My Lord, I have killed one of them, and I fear they will kill me.

28:36But when Moses came to them with Our signs, clear and manifest, they said, “This is nothing but fabricated magic, and We never heard of this from our ancestors of old.”

28:40So We seized him, and his troops, and We threw them into the sea. Observe, therefore, what was the end of the oppressors.

28:41And We made them leaders calling to the Fire. And on Resurrection Day, they will not be saved.

28:42And We pursued them in this world with a curse. And on Resurrection Day, they will be among the despised.

28:45But We established many generations, and time took its toll on them. Nor were you among the people of Median, reciting Our revelations to them. But We kept sending messengers.

28:47Otherwise, if a calamity befell them as a result of what their hands have perpetrated, they would say, “Our Lord, if only You had sent us a messenger, we would have followed Your revelations, and been among the believers.”

28:48But when the truth came to them from Us, they said, “If only he was given the like of what was given to Moses.” Did they not disbelieve in what was given to Moses in the past? They said, “Two works of magic backing one another.” And they said, “We are disbelieving in both.”

28:51We have delivered the Word to them, that they may remember.

28:53When it is recited to them, they say, “We have believed in it; it is the truth from our Lord; we were Muslims prior to it.”

28:54These will be given their reward twice, because they persevered; and they counter evil with good; and from Our provisions to them, they give.

28:57And they say, “If we follow the guidance with you, we will be snatched from our land.” Did We not establish for them a Safe Sanctuary, to which are brought all kinds of fruits, as provision from Ourselves? But most of them do not know.

28:58And how many a city did We destroy for turning unappreciative of its livelihood? Here are their homes, uninhabited after them, except for a few. And We became the Inheritors.

28:59Your Lord never destroys cities without first sending a messenger in their midst, reciting to them Our revelations. And We never destroy the cities, unless their people are wrongdoers.

28:62On the Day when He will call to them, and say, “Where are My associates whom you used to claim?”

28:63Those against whom the sentence is justified will say, “Our Lord, these are they whom we misled. We misled them, as we were misled. We beg Your forgiveness; it was not us they used to worship.”

28:64And it will be said, “Call on your partners.” And they will call on them, but they will not respond to them. And they will see the suffering. If only they were guided.

28:65On the Day when He will call to them, and say, “What did you answer the Messengers?”

28:74On the Day when He will call to them, and say, “Where are My associates whom you used to claim?”

28:75And We will draw out from every community a witness, and say, “Produce your evidence.” Then they will realize that the truth is God’s, and those they used to invent have forsaken them.

28:76Quaroon belonged to the clan of Moses, but he oppressed them. We had given him treasures, the keys of which would weigh down a group of strong men. His people said to him, “Do not exult; God does not love the exultant.

28:87And do not let them divert you from God’s revelations after they have been revealed to you. And pray to your Lord, and never be of the polytheists.
