Said Moses to his people: "Pray for help from Allah, and (wait) in patience and constancy: for the earth is Allah's, to give as a heritage to such of His servants as He pleaseth; and the end is (best) for the righteous.

And Moses chose seventy of his people for Our place of meeting: when they were seized with violent quaking, he prayed: "O my Lord! if it had been Thy will Thou couldst have destroyed, long before, both them and me: wouldst Thou destroy us for the deeds of the foolish ones among us? this is no more than Thy trial: by it Thou causest whom Thou wilt to stray, and Thou leadest whom Thou wilt into the right path. Thou art our Protector: so forgive us and give us Thy mercy; for Thou art the best of those who forgive.

"And ordain for us that which is good, in this life and in the Hereafter: for we have turned unto Thee." He said: "With My punishment I visit whom I will; but My mercy extendeth to all things. That (mercy) I shall ordain for those who do right, and practise regular charity, and those who believe in Our signs;-

Behold! thy Lord did declare that He would send against them, to the Day of Judgment, those who would afflict them with grievous penalty. Thy Lord is quick in retribution, but He is also Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

Whom Allah doth guide,- he is on the right path: whom He rejects from His guidance,- such are the persons who perish.

To such as Allah rejects from His guidance, there can be no guide: He will leave them in their trespasses, wandering in distraction.

Remember ye were on the hither side of the valley, and they on the farther side, and the caravan on lower ground than ye. Even if ye had made a mutual appointment to meet, ye would certainly have failed in the appointment: But (thus ye met), that Allah might accomplish a matter already enacted; that those who died might die after a clear Sign (had been given), and those who lived might live after a Clear Sign (had been given). And verily Allah is He Who heareth and knoweth (all things).

And verily Allah is He Who heareth and knoweth (all things).

If ye gain the mastery over them in war, disperse, with them, those who follow them, that they may remember.

And still the indignation of their hearts. For Allah will turn (in mercy) to whom He will; and Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

The mosques of Allah shall be visited and maintained by such as believe in Allah and the Last Day, establish regular prayers, and practise regular charity, and fear none (at all) except Allah. It is they who are expected to be on true guidance.

Again will Allah, after this, turn (in mercy) to whom He will: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

Among them is (many) a man who says: "Grant me exemption and draw me not into trial." Have they not fallen into trial already? and indeed Hell surrounds the Unbelievers (on all sides).

And among them are men who slander thee in the matter of (the distribution of) the alms: if they are given part thereof, they are pleased, but if not, behold! they are indignant!

Know they not that for those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, is the Fire of Hell?- wherein they shall dwell. That is the supreme disgrace.

Amongst them are men who made a covenant with Allah, that if He bestowed on them of His bounty, they would give (largely) in charity, and be truly amongst those who are righteous.

Some of the desert Arabs look upon their payments as a fine, and watch for disasters for you: on them be the disaster of evil: for Allah is He That heareth and knoweth (all things).

But some of the desert Arabs believe in Allah and the Last Day, and look on their payments as pious gifts bringing them nearer to Allah and obtaining the prayers of the Messenger. Aye, indeed they bring them nearer (to Him): soon will Allah admit them to His Mercy: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

Which then is best? - he that layeth his foundation on piety to Allah and His good pleasure? - or he that layeth his foundation on an undermined sand-cliff ready to crumble to pieces? and it doth crumble to pieces with him, into the fire of Hell. And Allah guideth not people that do wrong.

Whenever there cometh down a sura, some of them say: "Which of you has had His faith increased by it?" Yea, those who believe,- their faith is increased and they do rejoice.

But Allah doth call to the Home of Peace: He doth guide whom He pleaseth to a way that is straight.

Say: "Who is it that sustains you (in life) from the sky and from the earth? or who is it that has power over hearing and sight? And who is it that brings out the living from the dead and the dead from the living? and who is it that rules and regulates all affairs?" They will soon say, "Allah". Say, "will ye not then show piety (to Him)?"

Say: "Of your 'partners', can any originate creation and repeat it?" Say: "It is Allah Who originates creation and repeats it: then how are ye deluded away (from the truth)?"

Say: "Of your 'partners' is there any that can give any guidance towards truth?" Say: "It is Allah Who gives guidance towards truth, is then He Who gives guidance to truth more worthy to be followed, or he who finds not guidance (himself) unless he is guided? what then is the matter with you? How judge ye?"

Of them there are some who believe therein, and some who do not: and thy Lord knoweth best those who are out for mischief.

Of them there are some who believe therein, and some who do not: and thy Lord knoweth best those who are out for mischief.

Among them are some who (pretend to) listen to thee: But canst thou make the deaf to hear,- even though they are without understanding?

And among them are some who look at thee: but canst thou guide the blind,- even though they will not see?

Behold! verily to Allah belong all creatures, in the heavens and on earth. What do they follow who worship as His "partners" other than Allah? They follow nothing but fancy, and they do nothing but lie.

穆萨对他的宗族说：“你们要求助于真主，要忍受虐待；大地确是真主的，他使他意欲的臣仆继承它；优美的结局只归敬畏者。”

穆萨从他的宗族中拣选了七十个人来赴我的约会；当他们为地震所袭击的时候，他说：“我的主啊！假若你意欲，那末，以前你早已毁灭他们和我。难道你要为我们中的愚人的行为而毁灭我们吗？这只是你的考验，你借此使你意欲者误入歧途，使你意欲者走上正道。你是我们的保护者，故求你饶恕我们，慈悯我们。你是最善的饶恕者。

求你在今世和后世为我们注定幸福，我们确已对你悔过了。”主说：“我的刑罚，是用去惩治我欲惩治的人的，我的慈恩是包罗万物的。我将注定以我的慈恩归于敬畏真主，完纳天课，而且信仰我的迹象者。”

当时，你的主宣布他一定派人来使他们继续遭受酷刑，直到复活日。你的主的惩罚确是神速的。他确是至赦的，确是至慈的。

真主引导谁，谁是遵循正道的；真主使谁迷误，谁是亏折的。

真主要使谁迷误，谁没有向导，并任随他们彷徨于残暴之中。

当时，你们在山谷的近岸，敌军在远岸，而商队在你们的下面。假若你们约定相会，必定爽约，但（真主集合你们），以便他判决一件必行的事，以便灭亡者见明证而后灭亡，生存者见明证而后生存。真主确是全聪的，确是全知的。

如果你在战争中遇见他们，你就应当以（惩治）他们而驱散在他们后面的人，以便他们觉悟。

而消除他们心中的义愤。真主将准许他所意欲的人悔过自新。真主是全知的，是至睿的。

只有笃信真主和末日，并谨守拜功，完纳天课，并畏惧真主者，才配管理真主的清真寺；这等人或许是遵循正道的。

后来，他准许他所意欲者悔过自新。真主是至赦的，是至慈的。

他们中有人说：“请你准我的假吧。不要使我遭遇祸害。”其实，他们正堕入祸害之中。火狱确是包围著不信道者的。

他们中有人挑剔你分配赈款的工作。如果分给他们一份，他们就欢喜；如果不分给他们，他们就勃然大怒。

难道他们不知道吗？谁违抗真主及其使者，谁将受火狱的刑罚，并永居其中。那是重大的凌辱。

他们中有些人，与真主缔约：“如果真主把部分恩惠赏赐我们，我们一定施舍，一定成为善人。”

游牧的阿拉伯人中有人把自己所捐献的钱财当做罚金，并等待著你们遭难。愿他们遭遇厄运。真主是全聪的，是全知的。

游牧的阿拉伯人中有人想借信仰真主和末日，他们把所捐献的钱财当作媒介，以获得真主的亲近和使者的祝福。当然，他们必定要借此而获得真主的亲近，真主将使他们进入他的慈恩之中。真主确是至赦的，确是至慈的。

以敬畏真主并祈求其喜悦为地基者更好呢？还是以倾颓的悬崖的边缘为地基，因而随著坠入火狱者更好呢？真主不引导不义的民众。

当降示一章经的时候，他们中有人说：“这章经使你们中的哪个人更加确信呢？”至于信道者，那章经使他们更加确信了。同时，他们是快乐的。

真主召人到平安的住宅，并引导其所欲引导的人走上正路。

你说：“谁从天上和地上给你们提供给养？谁主持你们的听觉和视觉？谁使活物从死物中生出？谁使死物从活物中生出？谁管理事物？”他们要说：“真主。”你说：“难道你们不敬畏他吗？

你说：“你们的配主，有能创造万物，而且加以再造的吗？”你说：“真主能创造万物，而且能加以再造。你们怎么混淆黑白呢？”

你说：“你们的配主有能导人于真理的吗？”你说：“真主能导人于真理。是能导人于真理的更宜于受人顺从呢？还是须受引导才能遵循正道的，更宜于受人顺从呢？你们怎么啦？你们怎么这样判断呢？”

他们中有信它的，有不信它的。你的主是知道作恶者的。

他们中有信它的，有不信它的。你的主是知道作恶者的。

他们中有倾听你的，难道你能使聋子闻道吗？如果他们是不明理的。

他们中有注视你的，难道你能引导瞎子吗？即使他们没有洞察力。

真的，天地间的一切，确是真主的，舍真主而祈祷许多配主的人，究竟凭什么呢？他们只凭臆测，他们尽说谎话。
