7:154 And when the anger of Moses was calmed, he took up the tablets. In their writing was
guidance and mercy for those who fear their Lord. And Moses chose seventy of his men for
Our meeting. When the earth trembled, he said, “Oh, my Lord, if it had been your will, You
could have destroyed them and me before this time. Will You destroy us for the deeds of the
foolish ones among us? It is Your trial alone. With it, You will mislead whom You wish and
guide whom You wish to the right path. You are our protector. Forgive us and have mercy
on us because You are the best of those who forgive.
7:156 Ordain for us what is good in this world and in the world to come because we have
turned to You.” Allah said, “I punish those I desire, but My mercy embraces all things, and
ordain mercy for those who do right, and pay the poor tax, and believe in Our signs.
28:1 TA. SIN. MIM. These are the signs that make the Book clear. We will tell you portions
of the story of Moses and Pharaoh in truth for the teaching of the believers.
28:4 Now Pharaoh lifted himself in the land and divided his people into classes. He
persecuted the lowest class by slaying their male children, but He let their females live. He
was an evil tyrant.
28:5 We desired to show favor to those who were oppressed in the land, to make them
spiritual leaders, to make them heirs, and to give them the land. We desired to punish
Pharaoh and Haman and their warriors with a scourge that they feared.
28:7 We inspired the mother of Moses saying, “Suckle your child, and if you fear for him,
launch him into the river, and do not fear, nor grieve, for We will bring him to you and make
him one of the messengers.”
28:8 Then the Pharaoh’s family took him up from the river though, he was to be an enemy
and a sorrow to them, for Pharaoh, Haman, and their hosts. Pharaoh’s wife said, “He is a joy
to me and you. Do not kill him. He will be useful to us, or we may adopt him as a son.” But
they did not know what they were doing.
28:10 The heart of Moses’s mother became empty, and she nearly claimed him back as her
son, but We strengthened her heart so that she might be a believer. She said to his sister,
“Follow him,” and she watched him from afar so they did not know it.
28:12 And We caused him [the baby Moses] to refuse the nurses’ breasts, until his sister
came and said, “Should I show you a family of a house that will rear him for you and will be
careful of him?” So We restored him to his mother, so she would be comforted and might
not grieve and might know that the promise of Allah was true. But most men do not know.
And when he had reached maturity and had become a man, We bestowed wisdom and
knowledge on him. In this way We reward the righteous.
28:15 He entered the city unnoticed, and he found two men fighting. One was of his own
race, the other was of his enemies’ race. The Jew asked Moses for his help against their
enemy, and Moses struck the Egyptian with his fist and killed him. He [Moses] said, “This is
a work of Satan, for he is an enemy, a manifest misleader.”

28:16 He said, “Oh, my Lord, I have wronged my soul; forgive me.” So Allah forgave him,
for He is forgiving and merciful.
28:17 He said, “Lord, because you showed me this grace, I will never again help the
wicked.”
28:18 Moses was in the city at noon, fearful and vigilant. When the man he had helped the
day before cried out to him again for help, Moses said to him, “You are plainly a
quarrelsome man.” And when Moses decided to lay hands on the man who was an
enemy to the Jews, the man said to him, “Oh, Moses, will you kill me as you killed that
man yesterday? You desire only to become a tyrant in this land and not to become a
peacemaker.”
28:20 But a man came running up from the farthest end of the city. He said, “Oh, Moses, the
chiefs consult together to slay you, so leave. I counsel you as a friend.”
28:21 So he left in fear and vigilance. He prayed, “Oh, Lord, deliver me from the unjust
people.” When he turned towards Midian, he said, “Maybe my Lord will guide me in an
even path.”
28:23 When he arrived at the water of Midian, he found a company of men watering their
flocks, and he found beside them two women keeping back their flocks. He said, “What is
the matter?” They said “We cannot water our flocks until the shepherds have driven off their
flocks. Our father is very old.”
28:24 So Moses watered their flocks for them then retired to the shade and said, “Oh, my
Lord, I am in need of any good [a wife] you will send me.”
28:25 One of the two women came back to him, walking bashfully. She said, “My father
calls you so he may reward you for watering our flocks for us.” When Moses came to him
and had told him his story, the old man said, “Do not fear. You have escaped from an unjust
people.”
28:26 One of the two women said, “Oh, my father, hire him for the best man you can hire is
strong and trustworthy.”
28:27 He said to Moses, “I intend to marry you to one of my two daughters if you will be
my hired servant for eight years, and if you fulfill ten, it will be of your own free will for I
do not wish to make it hard for you. You will find me, if Allah wills, one of the righteous.”
28:28 Moses said, “This will be an agreement between me and you. Whichever of the two
terms I fulfill, there will be no injustice to me. Allah is witness of what we say.”
28:29 So when Moses had fulfilled the term and was traveling with his family, he saw a fire
on the mountain side. He said to his family, “Wait here for I see a fire. I may bring you
tidings from it or a brand from the fire to warm you.”
28:30 When he came up to the fire, a voice cried to him from the right side of the valley
from a tree in the sacred hollow: “Oh, Moses, I am Allah, the Lord of the worlds. Throw
down now your staff.” When he saw it move as though it were a serpent, Moses retreated
