For We assuredly sent amongst every People a messenger, (with the Command), "Serve Allah, and eschew Evil": of the People were some whom Allah guided, and some on whom error became inevitably (established). So travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who denied (the Truth).

They swear their strongest oaths by Allah, that Allah will not raise up those who die: Nay, but it is a promise (binding) on Him in truth: but most among mankind realise it not.

Then they proceeded: until, when they came to the inhabitants of a town, they asked them for food, but they refused them hospitality. They found there a wall on the point of falling down, but he set it up straight. (Moses) said: "If thou hadst wished, surely thou couldst have exacted some recompense for it!"

He answered: "This is the parting between me and thee: now will I tell thee the interpretation of (those things) over which thou wast unable to hold patience.

"As for the wall, it belonged to two youths, orphans, in the Town; there was, beneath it, a buried treasure, to which they were entitled: their father had been a righteous man: So thy Lord desired that they should attain their age of full strength and get out their treasure - a mercy (and favour) from thy Lord. I did it not of my own accord. Such is the interpretation of (those things) over which thou wast unable to hold patience."

"Bring me blocks of iron." At length, when he had filled up the space between the two steep mountain-sides, He said, "Blow (with your bellows)" Then, when he had made it (red) as fire, he said: "Bring me, that I may pour over it, molten lead."

So Peace on him the day he was born, the day that he dies, and the day that he will be raised up to life (again)!

"For us, we have believed in our Lord: may He forgive us our faults, and the magic to which thou didst compel us: for Allah is Best and Most Abiding."

(Saying): "Eat of the good things We have provided for your sustenance, but commit no excess therein, lest My Wrath should justly descend on you: and those on whom descends My Wrath do perish indeed!

They had said: "We will not abandon this cult, but we will devote ourselves to it until Moses returns to us."

(Moses) said: "Get thee gone! but thy (punishment) in this life will be that thou wilt say, 'touch me not'; and moreover (for a future penalty) thou hast a promise that will not fail: Now look at thy god, of whom thou hast become a devoted worshipper: We will certainly (melt) it in a blazing fire and scatter it broadcast in the sea!"

But his Lord chose him (for His Grace): He turned to him, and gave him Guidance.

And remember Zun-nun, when he departed in wrath: He imagined that We had no power over him! But he cried through the deptHs of darkness, "There is no god but thou: glory to thee: I was indeed wrong!"

About the (Evil One) it is decreed that whoever turns to him for friendship, him will he lead astray, and he will guide him to the Penalty of the Fire.

Seest thou not that to Allah bow down in worship all things that are in the heavens and on earth,- the sun, the moon, the stars; the hills, the trees, the animals; and a great number among mankind? But a great number are (also) such as are fit for Punishment: and such as Allah shall disgrace,- None can raise to honour: for Allah carries out all that He wills.

That (is so). And if one has retaliated to no greater extent than the injury he received, and is again set upon inordinately, Allah will help him: for Allah is One that blots out (sins) and forgives (again and again).

So We inspired him (with this message): "Construct the Ark within Our sight and under Our guidance: then when comes Our Command, and the fountains of the earth gush forth, take thou on board pairs of every species, male and female, and thy family- except those of them against whom the Word has already gone forth: And address Me not in favour of the wrong-doers; for they shall be drowned (in the Flood).

Say: "Who is it in whose hands is the governance of all things,- who protects (all), but is not protected (of any)? (say) if ye know."

And the fifth (oath) (should be) that they solemnly invoke the curse of Allah on themselves if they tell a lie.

Why did they not bring four witnesses to prove it? When they have not brought the witnesses, such men, in the sight of Allah, (stand forth) themselves as liars!

Say: "Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger: but if ye turn away, he is only responsible for the duty placed on him and ye for that placed on you. If ye obey him, ye shall be on right guidance. The Messenger's duty is only to preach the clear (Message).

Be quite sure that to Allah doth belong whatever is in the heavens and on earth. Well doth He know what ye are intent upon: and one day they will be brought back to Him, and He will tell them the truth of what they did: for Allah doth know all things.

But the misbelievers say: "Naught is this but a lie which he has forged, and others have helped him at it." In truth it is they who have put forward an iniquity and a falsehood.

And they say: "Tales of the ancients, which he has caused to be written: and they are dictated before him morning and evening."

Those who reject Faith say: "Why is not the Qur'an revealed to him all at once? Thus (is it revealed), that We may strengthen thy heart thereby, and We have rehearsed it to thee in slow, well-arranged stages, gradually.

Seest thou such a one as taketh for his god his own passion (or impulse)? Couldst thou be a disposer of affairs for him?

Hast thou not turned thy vision to thy Lord?- How He doth prolong the shadow! If He willed, He could make it stationary! then do We make the sun its guide;

Say: "No reward do I ask of you for it but this: that each one who will may take a (straight) Path to his Lord."

"No reward do I ask of you for it: my reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds:

"No reward do I ask of you for it: my reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds.

我在每个民族中，确已派遣一个使者，说：“你们当崇拜真主，当远离恶魔。”但他们中有真主所引导的，有应当迷误的。故你们当在大地上旅行，应当观察否认（使者）的人们的结局是怎样的。

他们指真主而发出最严重的誓言，说：“真主不使死人复活。”不然！这是他应当实践的诺言。但世人大半不知道。

他俩又同行，来到了一个城市，就向城里居民求食，他们不肯款待。后来他俩在城里发现一堵墙快要倒塌了，他就把那堵墙修理好了，穆萨说：“如果你意欲，你必为这件工作而索取工钱。”

他说：“我和你从此作别了。你所不能忍受的那些事，我将告诉你其中的道理。

至于那堵墙，则是城中两个孤儿的；墙下有他俩的财宝。他俩的父亲，原是善良的。你的主要他俩成年后，取出他俩的财宝，这是属于你的主的恩惠，我没有随著我的私意做这件事。这是你所不能忍受的事情的道理。”

你们拿铁块来给我吧。”到了他堆满两山之间的时候，他说：“你们拉风箱吧。”到了他使铁块红如火焰的时候，他说：“你们拿溶铜来给我，我就把它倾注在壁垒上。”

他在出生日、死亡日、复活日都享受和平。

我们确已信仰我们的主，以便他赦免我们的过失， 和在你的强迫下我们表演魔术的罪行。真主（的赏赐）是更好的，（他的刑罚）是更久的。”

你们可以吃我所赏赐你们的佳美的食品，但不可过分， 以免应受我的谴责，谁应受我的谴责，谁必沦丧。

他们说：“我们必继续崇拜牛犊，直至穆萨转回来。”

他说：“你去吧！你这辈子必定常说：不要接触我。你确有一个（受刑的）约期，你绝不能避免它，你看你虔诚住守的神灵吧！我们必定要焚化它，然后必把它撒在海里。

嗣后，他的主挑选了他，饶恕了他，引导了他。

（你应当叙述）左农，当时他曾愤愤不平地离去，他猜想我绝不约束他，他在重重黑暗中呼吁（说）：”除你之外，绝无应受崇拜者，我赞颂你超绝万物，我确是不义的。”

凡结交恶魔者，恶魔必定使他迷误，必定把他引入火狱的刑罚， 这是恶魔给注定了的。

你难道不知道吗？在天上的和在地上的，与日月群星，山岳树木，牲畜和许多人，都服从真主，有许多人当受刑罚。真主凌辱谁，谁不受人尊敬。真主确是为所欲为的。（此处叩头！）※

事情就是这样的。凡以怨报怨，然后被人虐待者，真主必援助他。 真主确是至恕的，确是至赦的。

我就启示他说：“你在我的照顾下，依我的启示而造船。当我的命令来临，而洪水泛滥于地面的时候，你把每种动物，各取一对，放在船上，使你的家属也上船去；他们中已被判决者除外。你不要为不义者而祈祷我，他们必然被淹死。

你说：“万物的主权，在谁的掌握之中？谁能保护众生， 而他自己不受保护呢？如果你们知道。”

第五次是说：他甘受真主的诅咒，如果他说谎言。

他们为何不举出四个见证来证明这件事呢？他们没有举出四个见证， 所以在真主看来他们是说谎的。

你说：“你们应当服从真主，应当服从使者。如果你们违背命令，那末，他只负他的责任，你们只负你们的责任。如果你们服从他，你们就遵循正道。使者只负明白的传达的责任。”

真的，天地万物，确是真主的。他确已知道你们的实情。 当他们被召到主那里之日，他要把他们的行为告诉他们。真主是全知万事的。

不信道者说：“这只是他所捏造的摇言，别的许多人曾帮助他。”他们已做了不义的事，已说了不义的谬妄的话。

他们说：“这是古人的神话，他使人抄录下来，朝夕对他诵读”

不信道者曾说：“怎么不把全部《古兰经》一次降示他呢？”我那样零零星星地降示它以便我凭它来坚定你的心，我逐渐降示它。

你告诉我吧，以私欲为其神灵者，你能做他的监护者吗？

难道你没有看见你的主怎样伸展阴影吗？假若他意欲， 他必定使阴影成为静止的。我以太阳为其标志，

你说：“我对于完成这项使命，不向你们索取任何报酬， 但望有志者能由此大道而达到其主宰。”

我不为传达使命而向你们索取任何报酬；我的报酬，只由全世界的主负担。

我不为传达命令而向你们索取任何报酬；我的报酬，只由全世界的主负担。
