but Pharaoh said, ‘How dare you believe in Him before I have given you permission? This is a plot you have hatched to drive the people out of this city! Soon you will see:

I will cut off your alternate hands and feet and then crucify you all!’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:125

They said, ‘And so we shall return to our Lord-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:126

Your only grievance against us is that we believed in the signs of our Lord when they came to us. Our Lord, pour steadfastness upon us and let us die in devotion to You.’

7:127

The leaders among Pharaoh’s people said to him, ‘But are you going to leave Moses and his people to spread corruption in the land and forsake you and your gods?’ He replied, ‘We shall kill their male children, sparing only the females: We have complete power over them.’

Moses said to his people, ‘Turn to God for help and be steadfast: the earth belongs to God- He gives it as their own to whichever of His servants He chooses- and the happy future belongs to those who are mindful of Him,’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:129

and they replied, ‘We were being persecuted long before you came to us, and since then too.’ He said, ‘Your Lord may well destroy your enemy and make you successors to the land to see how you behave.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:130

We inflicted years of drought and crop failure on Pharaoh’s people, so that they might take heed,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:131

then, when something good came their way, they said, ‘This is our due!’. When something bad came, they ascribed it to the evil omen of Moses and those with him, but their ‘evil omen’ was really from God, though most of them did not realize it.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:132

They said, ‘We will not believe in you, no matter what signs you produce to cast a spell on us,’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:133

and so We let loose on them the flood, locusts, lice, frogs, blood- all clear signs. They were arrogant, wicked people.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:134

They would say, whenever a plague struck them, ‘Moses, pray to your Lord for us by virtue of the promise He has made to you: if you relieve us of the plague, we will believe you and let the Children of Israel go with you,’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:138

We took the Children of Israel across the sea, but when they came upon a people who worshipped idols, they said, ‘Moses, make a god for us like theirs.’ He said, ‘You really are foolish people:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:139

[the cult] these people practise is doomed to destruction, and what they have been doing is useless.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:140

Why should I seek any god other than God for you, when He has favoured you over all other people?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:141

Remember how We saved you from Pharaoh’s people, who were subjecting you to the worst of sufferings, killing your male children, sparing only your females- that was a mighty ordeal from your Lord.
