Surah 27. An-Naml

In the name of ALLAH, the Benevolent, the Merciful

1. Ta. Sin. These are Revelations of the Quran and a Scripture that makes plain;
2. A Guidance and good tidings for the faithful
3. Who establish worship and pay the poor due and are sure of the Hereafter.
4. Lo! as for those who deny the Hereafter, We have made their works fair seeming to them so that they are all astray.
5. Those are they for whom is the worst of punishment, and in the Hereafter they will be the greatest losers.
6. Lo! as for you, you surely receive the Quran from the presence of One Wise, Aware.
7. When Moses said to his household: Lo! I spy afar off a fire; I will bring you tidings thence, or bring to you a borrowed flame that you may warm yourselves.
8. But when he reached it, he was called, saying: Blessed is whoever is in the fire and whoever is round about it! And glorified be ALLAH, the Lord of the Worlds!
9. O Moses! Lo! it is I, ALLAH, the Mighty, the Wise.
10. And throw down your staff! But when he saw it writhing as it were a demon, he turned to flee headlong: O Moses! Fear not! Lo! the emissaries fear not in My presence,
11. Save him who has done wrong and afterward has changed evil for good. And lo! I am Forgiving, Merciful.
12. And put your hand into the bosom of your robe, it will come forth white but unhurt. Among nine Signs to Pharaoh and his people. Lo! they were ever evil living folk.
13. But when Our Signs came to them, plain to see, they said: This is mere magic,
14. And they denied them, though their souls acknowledged them, for spite and arrogance. Then see the nature of the consequence for the wrong doers!
