established, and all that they had done proved in vain. They were vanquished on the spot and
were made to look small.
7:120 And the magicians fell down prostrate in adoration saying, “We believe in the Lord of
the worlds, the Lord of Moses and Aaron.”
7:123 Pharaoh said, “Do you believe in him before I give you permission? This is surely a
trick you have devised in my city in order to drive out its people, but you will soon see what
will happen.
7:124 I will cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides then will crucify you altogether.”
7:125 They said, “We return to our Lord, and you [the Pharaoh] will take revenge on us
because we believed the signs of our Lord when they came to us. Lord, give us your
constancy and patience that we may die as Muslims.”
7:127 The elders of Pharaoh’s people said, “Will you leave Moses and his people to spread
corruption in our land and forsake you and your gods?” He said, “We will slay their male
children and spare their females. Then they will submit.”
7:128 Moses said to his people, “Ask for help from Allah, and patiently wait for the earth is
Allah’s, and He will give it as an inheritance to whomever He pleases. And the righteous
will inherit Paradise.”
7:129 They said, “We were persecuted before you came to us and since you have been with
us.” Moses said, “It may be that your Lord will destroy your enemy and make you rulers in
the land so He will see how you act.”
7:130 We have already punished Pharaoh’s people with years of droughts and scarcity of
food that they might learn. When good fell to them they said, “This is due to us, “ but if evil
came to them, they said it was due to the evil omens of Moses and his people. In truth, their
evil omens were from Allah, but most of them do not know.
7:132 They said to Moses, “Whatever sign you bring to bewitch us, we will not believe in
you.” So We sent them the flood, the locusts, the lice, the frogs, and the blood. All were
clear signs, but they were an arrogant and sinful people. Each time any plague fell on them,
they said, “Oh, Moses, pray for us to your Lord because you have a promise from Him. If
you remove the plague, we will truly believe you, and we will let the Children of Israel leave
with you.”
7:135 But every time We removed a plague from them, they broke their promise when the
time Allah granted them was over. Therefore, We took vengeance on them. We drowned
them in the sea because they rejected Our signs and did not take warning from them. And
We gave to the people who were considered weak the lands in the east and the west with
Our blessings. The promise of the Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel because of
their patience and constancy, and We destroyed the great works and the buildings of
Pharaoh and his people.
7:138 And We took the Children of Israel across the sea, and they discovered people who
worshipped idols. They said, “Oh, Moses, make us a god like the gods they have.” He said,

“You are an ignorant people. As for these people, their practices will be destroyed. What
they are doing is in vain. Should I seek a god other than Allah for you when it was Allah
who favored you above all other nations?”
7:141 And remember when We rescued you from Pharaoh’s people, who punished you with
dreadful suffering, slaughtering your male children and sparing your daughters? That was a
great trial from your Lord. We appointed a term with Moses of thirty nights of solitude,
which We completed with ten other nights so that his whole time with his Lord amounted to
forty nights. And Moses said to his brother Aaron before he went up, “Take my place among
my people, do right, and do not follow the way of sinners.”
7:143 When Moses came at Our set time and his Lord spoke with him, he said, “Oh, Lord,
show yourself to me so I may look upon you.” Allah said, “You cannot bear to see me, but
look up on the mountain, and if it remains firm in its place, then you will see Me.” And
when Allah manifested Himself to the mountain it turned it to dust, and Moses fell down
senseless. And when he recovered he said, “Glory be to You! I turn to you to repent, and I
am the first of the believers.”
7:144 Allah said, “Oh, Moses, I have chosen you above all men. Take My words and make
them known. Be one of the grateful.” And We wrote on the tablets for him about laws
concerning all matters, both commanding and explaining all things. We said, “Take a firm
hold of these, and command your people to take the right path, which is written here. Soon I
will show you the homes of the wicked. I will turn away from the arrogant. If they see every
sign, they will not believe them. If they see the true path, they will not take it, but if they see
the path of error, they will take it. They rejected Our signs and failed to take the warning.
Those who reject Our signs and the coming of Judgment Day will be rewarded for what they
have done.”
7:148 During his absence, the people of Moses chose for worship a calf made of their gold
ornaments and believed they heard it make a comforting sound. They did not see that it
could not speak to them nor lead them. They worshiped it and became wrongdoers. They
repented when they saw their error and said, “If Our Lord does not show mercy and forgive
us, we will perish.”
7:150 When Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved, he said, “You have done evil
in my place during my absence. Do you wish to hasten the judgment of Allah? He threw
down the tablets and seized his brother by the head dragging him to him. Moses said, “Son
of my mother, the people judged me weak and almost killed me. Do not make my enemies
rejoice over me or place me among the wrong doers.” Moses said, “Oh, Lord, forgive me
and my brother, let us enter into Your mercy for You are the most merciful of the merciful.”
7:152 Those who took the calf as a god will receive the wrath of the Lord and humiliation in
this present life. This is how We repay those who deceive Allah. But for those who have
done evil, then afterwards repent and believe, the Lord will be forgiving and merciful.
