| Ta-Ha | 1 | ط ه |
| Not We sent down to you the Quran that you be distressed | 2 | مَآ أَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ القُرْءَانَ لِتَشْقَى |
| except a reminder for who fears | 3 | إِلَّا تَذْكِرَةً لِمَنْ يَخْشَى |

| Allah SWT, there is no god but He, belonging to Him are the best names | 8 | اللهُ لَآ إِلَاهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَهُ الأَسْمَآءُ الحُسْنَى |
| 9 | ||
| so, go to him and say “indeed we are messengers of your Lord so send with us | فَأْتِيَاهُ فَقُوْلَآ إِنَّا رَسُوْلَا رَبِّكَ فَأَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا | |
| the children of Israel and do not oppress them, we brought you a sign | بَنِي إِسْرَآءِيْلَ وَلَا تُعَذِّبْهُمْ قَدْ جِئْنَاكَ بِئَايَةٍ | |
| from your Lord and peace be upon who follows the guidance | 47 | مِّن رَّبِّكَ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الهُدَى |
| he said, ‘your appointment is on the day of the festival | قَالَ مَوْعِدُكُمْ يَوْمُ الزِّيْنَةِ | |
| so that the people may assemble at forenoon’ | 59 | وَأَن يُحْشَرَ النَّاسُ ضُحًا |
| So gather your plan then come in ranks | فَأَجْمِعُواْ كَيْدَكُمْ ثُمَّ ائْتُواْ صَفًّا | |
| and indeed he has succeeded today who overcomes | 64 | وَقَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْيَوْمَ مَنِ اسْتَعْلَى |
| and verily, We inspired to Musa (AS) that “travel by night with My slaves and strike for them a path in the sea | وَلَقَد أَوْحَينَآ إِلَى مُوسَى أَن أَسْرِ بِإِبَادِى فَاضْرِب لَهُم طَرِيْقًا فِى البَحْرِ | |
| dry, not fearing to be overtaken and not being afraid” | 77 | يَبَسًا لَّا تَخَافُ دَرَكًا وَلَا تَخْشَى |
| then Firaun followed them with his forces but covered them from the sea what covered them | 78 | فَأَتْبَعَهُم فِرْعَونُ بِجُنُودِهِ فَخَشِيَهُم مِّنَ اليَمِّ مَا غَشِيَهُم |
| and Firaun led astray his people and did not guide them | 79 | وَأَضَلَّ فِرْعَوْنُ قَوْمَهُ وَمَا هَدَى |
| O children of Israel! verily, We delivered you from your enemy and We made a covenant with you | يَا بَنِى إِسْرَآئِيْلَ قَد أَنْجَيْنَاكُم مِّن عَدُوِّكُم وَوَاعَدنَاكُم | |
| on the right side of the mount and We sent down to you the sweet gum and the quails | 80 | جَانِبَ الطُّورِ الأَيْمَنَ وَنَزَّلنَا عَلَيكُم المَنَّ وَالسَّلوَى |
| Eat of the good things which We have provided you and do not transgress therein lest descend upon you | كُلُوا مِن طَيِّبَاتِ مَا رَزَقْنَاكُم وَلَا تَطْغَوا فِيهِ فَيَحِلَّ عَلَيْكُم | |
| My anger and who My anger descends upon him indeed, he (has) perished | 81 | غَضَبِى وَمَن يَحْلِل عَلَيهِ غَضَبِى فَقَد هَوَى |
| but indeed, I am the Perpetual Forgiver of whoever repents and believes | وَإِنِّى لَغَفَّارٌ لِّمَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ | |
| and does righteous deeds then remains guided | 82 | وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا ثُمَّ اهْتَدَى |
| “And what made you hasten from your people O Musa (AS)?” | 83 | وَمَآ أَعْجَلَكَ عَن قَومِكَ يَا مُوسَى |
| He said, “they are close upon my tracks, and I hastened to You my Lord, that You be Pleased” | 84 | قَالَ هُم أُوْلَآءِ عَلَى أَثَرِى وَعَجِلْتُ إِلَيْكَ رَبِّ لِتَرضَى |
| He (SWT) said, “but indeed, We certainly tried your people after you and the Samiri has led them astray” | 85 | قَالَ فَإِنَّا قَدْ فَتَنَّا قَوْمَكَ مِن بَعْدِكَ وَأَضَلَّهُمُ السَّامِرِيُّ |
| Then Musa (AS) returned to his people, angry, sorrowful, he said, “O my people! did not your Lord promise you | فَرَجَعَ مُوْسَى إِلَى قَوْمِهِ غَضْبَانَ أَسِفًا قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ أَ لَم يَعِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ | |
| a good promise? then did the promise seem long for you or did you desire that descend upon you | وَعْدًا حَسَنًا أَفَطَالَ عَلَيْكُمُ العَهْدُ أَمْ أَرَدتُّمْ أَن يَحِلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ | |
| the anger from your Lord so you broke your promise to me | 86 | غَضَبٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ فَأَخْلَفْتُم مَّوْعِدِى |
| They said, “not we broke the promise to you by our will, but we were made to carry burdens from ornaments | قَالُوا مَآ أَخْلَفْنَا مَوْعِدَكَ بِمَلْكِنَا وَلَاكِنَّا حُمِّلْنَآ أَوْزَارًا مِّن زِيْنَةِ | |
| of the people so we threw them and thus the Samiri threw” | 87 | القَوْمِ فَقَذَفْنَاهَا فَكَذَالِكَ أَلْقَى السَّامِرِيُّ |
| Then he took out for them a calf image, it had a lowing sound and they said, “this is your god | فَأَخْرَجَ لَهُمْ عِجْلًا جَسَدًا لَّهُ خُوَارٌ فَقَالُوا هَذَآ إِلَاهُكُمْ | |
| and the god of Musa (AS) but he forgot” | 88 | وَإِلَاهُ مُوْسَى فَنَسَيَ |
| Then did they not see that not it could return to them a word and not possess for them any harm nor benefit? | 89 | أَفَلَا يَرَونَ أَلَّا يَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِمْ قَوْلًا وَلَا يَمْلِكُ لَهُمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا |
| and verily Harun (AS) said to them from before, “O my people! only you are being tested by it | وَلَقَدْ قَالَ لَهُمْ هَرُوْنُ مِنْ قَبْلُ يَا قَوْمِ إِنَّمَا فُتِنْتُمْ بِهِ | |
| and indeed, your Lord is the Most Gracious so follow me and obey my order” | 90 | وَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ الرَّحْمَانُ فَاتَّبِعُوْنِى وَأَطِيْعُوا أَمْرِى |
| They said, “not we will cease being devoted to it until Musa (AS) returns to us” | 91 | قَالُوا لَن نَّبْرَحَ عَلَيْهِ عَاكِفِيْنَ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْنَا مُوْسَى |
| He said, “O Harun (AS)! what prevented you when you saw them going astray? | 92 | قَالَ يَا هَارُوْنُ مَا مَنَعَكَ إِذْ رَأَيْتَهُمْ ضَلُّوا |
| That not you follow me? then, have you disobeyed my order?” | 93 | أَلَّا تَتَّبِعَنِ أَفَعَصَيْتَ أَمْرِى |
| He said, “O son of my mother! do not seize me by my beard nor my head indeed, I feared that you would say, | قَالَ يَبْنَؤُمَّ لَا تَأْخُذْ بِلِحْيَتِى وَلَا بِرَأْسِى إِنِّى خَشِيْتُ أَنْ تَقُوْلَ | |
| “You caused division between the children of Israel and not you respect my word” | 94 | فَرَقْتَ بَيْنَ بَنِى إِسْرَآئِيْلَ وَلَمْ تَرْقُبْ قَوْلِى |
| He (Musa AS) said, “and what say you O Samiri?” | 95 | قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكَ يَا سَامِرِيُّ |
| He said, “I perceived what not they perceive in it, so I took a handful from the track of the messenger | قَالَ بَصُرْتُ بِمَا لَم يَبْصُرُوا بِهِ فَقَبَضْتُ قَبْضَةً مِّنْ أَثَرِ الرَّسُوْلِ | |
| then I threw it and thus my soul (inner self) suggested to me | 96 | فَنَبَذْتُهَا وَكَذَالِكَ سَوَّلَتْ لِى نَفْسِى |
| He (Musa AS) said, “then go and indeed, for you in the life that you will say, “do not touch” | قَالَ فَاذْهَبْ فَإِنَّ لَكَ فِى الحَيَاةِ أَن تَقُوْلَ لَا مِسَاسَ | |
| and indeed, for you an appointment not you will fail it and look at your god which you remained devoted to it | وَإِنَّ لَكَ مَوْعِدًا لَّن تُخْلَفَهُ وَانْظُرْ إِلَى إِلَاهِكَ الَّذِى ظَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ عَاكِفًا | |
| surely, we will burn it then certainly, we will scatter it in the sea (in) particles” | 97 | لَّنُحَرِّقَنَّهُ ثُمَّ لَنَنْسِفَنَّهُ فِى اليَمِّ نَسْفًا |
| Only your God is Allah (SWT) the One Who there is no God but He | إِنَّمَآ إِلَاهُكُمُ اللهُ الَّذِى لَآ إِلَاهَ إِلَّا هُوَ | |
| He has encompassed all things in knowledge | 98 | وَسِعَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا |
| 109 | ||
| 110 | ||
| and faces shall be humbled before the Ever Living, the Eternal | وَعَنَتِ الوُجُوْهُ لِلْحَيِّ الْقَيُّوْمِ | |
| and indeed who carries injustice will fail | 111 | وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنْ حَمَلَ ظُلْمًا |
| 112 | ||
| 113 | ||
| Exalted be Allah SWT, the One who is truly in control, do not rush with the Quran | فَتَعَالَى اللهُ المَلِكُ الحَقُّ وَلَا تَعْجَلْ بِالقُرْءَانِ | |
| before the revelation is fully complete | مِن قَبْلِ أَن يُقْضَى إِلَيْكَ وَحْيُهُ | |
| and say “Lord increase me in knowledge” | 114 | وَقُل رَّبِّ زِدْنِي عِلَمًا |
| and indeed you will not be thirsty therein nor suffer the sun’s heat | 119 | وَأَنَّكَ لَا تَظْمَؤُا فِيْهَا وَلَا تَضْحَى |
| 134 | ||
| say, “all are waiting, so you wait too | قُلْ كُلٌّ مُّتَرَبِّصٌ فَتَرَبَّصُوا | |
| and soon you shall know who the companions of the straight and even path are, and who are guided | 135 | فَسَتَعْلَمُوْنَ مَنْ أَصْحَابُ الصِّرَاطِ السَّوِيِّ وَمَنِ اهْتَدَى |
