please. And all shall come to Him abased.

88 And thou seest the mountains — thou thinkest them firmly fixed — passing away as the passing away of the cloud: the handiwork of Allāh, Who has made everything thoroughly. Surely He is Aware of what you do.

89 Whoever brings good, he will have better than it; and they will be secure from terror that day.

90 And whoever brings evil, these will be thrown down on their faces into the Fire. Are you rewarded aught except for what you did?

91 I am commanded only to serve the Lord of this city, Who has made it sacred, and His are all things, and I am commanded to be of those who submit,

92 And to recite the Qur’ān. So whoever goes aright, he goes aright for his own soul, and whoever goes astray — say: I am only one of the warners.

93 And say: Praise be to Allāh! He will show you His signs so that you shall recognize them. And thy Lord is not heedless of what you do.

Chapter 28 Al-Qaṣaṣ: The Narrative

1 Benignant, Hearing, Knowing God!

2 These are the verses of the Book that makes manifest.

3 We recite to thee the story of Moses and Pharaoh with truth, for a people who believe.

4 Surely Pharaoh exalted himself in the land and made its people into parties, weakening one party from among them; he slaughtered their sons and let their women live. Surely he was one of the mischief-makers.

5 And We desired to bestow a favour upon those who were deemed weak in the land, and to make them the leaders, and to make them the heirs,

6 And to grant them power in the land, and to make Pharaoh and Hāmān and their hosts see from them what they feared.
