"Only, our desire is that our Lord will forgive us our faults, that we may become foremost among the believers!"
وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِي إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ ( 52 ) Ash-Shuara ( The Poets ) - Ayaa 52
By inspiration we told Moses: "Travel by night with my servants; for surely ye shall be pursued."
فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِينَ ( 53 ) Ash-Shuara ( The Poets ) - Ayaa 53

إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ ( 54 ) Ash-Shuara ( The Poets ) - Ayaa 54
(Saying): "These (Israelites) are but a small band,
وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَائِظُونَ ( 55 ) Ash-Shuara ( The Poets ) - Ayaa 55
"And they are raging furiously against us;
وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَاذِرُونَ ( 56 ) Ash-Shuara ( The Poets ) - Ayaa 56
"But we are a multitude amply fore-warned."
فَأَخْرَجْنَاهُم مِّن جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ ( 57 ) Ash-Shuara ( The Poets ) - Ayaa 57

وَكُنُوزٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ ( 58 ) Ash-Shuara ( The Poets ) - Ayaa 58
Treasures, and every kind of honourable position;
كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَاهَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ( 59 ) Ash-Shuara ( The Poets ) - Ayaa 59

So they pursued them at sunrise.
فَلَمَّا تَرَاءَى الْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَابُ مُوسَىٰ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ ( 61 ) Ash-Shuara ( The Poets ) - Ayaa 61

فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ ( 216 ) Ash-Shuara ( The Poets ) - Ayaa 216
Then if they disobey thee, say: "I am free (of responsibility) for what ye do!"
وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى الْعَزِيزِ الرَّحِيمِ ( 217 ) Ash-Shuara ( The Poets ) - Ayaa 217
And put thy trust on the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,-
الَّذِي يَرَاكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ ( 218 ) Ash-Shuara ( The Poets ) - Ayaa 218
Who seeth thee standing forth (in prayer),
وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِي السَّاجِدِينَ ( 219 ) Ash-Shuara ( The Poets ) - Ayaa 219
And thy movements among those who prostrate themselves,
إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ ( 220 ) Ash-Shuara ( The Poets ) - Ayaa 220
For it is He Who heareth and knoweth all things.
هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ الشَّيَاطِينُ ( 221 ) Ash-Shuara ( The Poets ) - Ayaa 221
Shall I inform you, (O people!), on whom it is that the evil ones descend?
تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ ( 222 ) Ash-Shuara ( The Poets ) - Ayaa 222
They descend on every lying, wicked person,
يُلْقُونَ السَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَاذِبُونَ ( 223 ) Ash-Shuara ( The Poets ) - Ayaa 223
(Into whose ears) they pour hearsay vanities, and most of them are liars.
وَالشُّعَرَاءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الْغَاوُونَ ( 224 ) Ash-Shuara ( The Poets ) - Ayaa 224
And the Poets,- It is those straying in Evil, who follow them:
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِي كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ ( 225 ) Ash-Shuara ( The Poets ) - Ayaa 225
Seest thou not that they wander distracted in every valley?-
وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ ( 226 ) Ash-Shuara ( The Poets ) - Ayaa 226
And that they say what they practise not?-
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَانتَصَرُوا مِن بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ ( 227 ) Ash-Shuara ( The Poets ) - Ayaa 227
Except those who believe, work righteousness, engage much in the remembrance of Allah, and defend themselves only after they are unjustly attacked. And soon will the unjust assailants know what vicissitudes their affairs will take!

  • The Paradise and the Hellfire (Al-Jannah wa An-Naar)A very important series begins on the list today, concerned with the subject of al-Jannah and an-Naar - the Paradise and the Hell-Fire. One of these two will be the end destination; moreover the eternal abode, for each and every one of us. Therefore it is crucial for us to reflect on what Allah has prepared for mankind - for those who are obedient and recognise His favours, and for those who reject His sins and rebel against Him.
