   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦٓ أَنْ أَنذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ١

   Indeed, We sent Noah to his people, [saying], "Warn your people before there comes to them a painful punishment."

   قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ إِنِّى لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌ٢

   He said, "O my people, indeed I am to you a clear warner,

   أَنِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِيعُونِ٣

   [Saying], 'Worship Allah, fear Him and obey me.

   يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍۢ مُّسَمًّى ۚ إِنَّ أَجَلَ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا جَآءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُ ۖ لَوْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ٤

   Allah will forgive you of your sins and delay you for a specified term. Indeed, the time [set by] Allah, when it comes, will not be delayed, if you only knew.' "

   قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِى لَيْلًۭا وَنَهَارًۭا٥

   He said, "My Lord, indeed I invited my people [to truth] night and day.

   فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَآءِىٓ إِلَّا فِرَارًۭا٦

   But my invitation increased them not except in flight.

   وَإِنِّى كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوٓا۟ أَصَٰبِعَهُمْ فِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَٱسْتَغْشَوْا۟ ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَصَرُّوا۟ وَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ ٱسْتِكْبَارًۭا٧

   And indeed, every time I invited them that You may forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, covered themselves with their garments, persisted, and were arrogant with [great] arrogance.

   ثُمَّ إِنِّى دَعَوْتُهُمْ جِهَارًۭا٨

   Then I invited them publicly.

   ثُمَّ إِنِّىٓ أَعْلَنتُ لَهُمْ وَأَسْرَرْتُ لَهُمْ إِسْرَارًۭا٩

   Then I announced to them and [also] confided to them secretly

   فَقُلْتُ ٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفَّارًۭا١٠

   And said, 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver.

   يُرْسِلِ ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًۭا١١

   He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [continuing] showers

   وَيُمْدِدْكُم بِأَمْوَٰلٍۢ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ أَنْهَٰرًۭا١٢

   And give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers.

   مَّا لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارًۭا١٣

   What is [the matter] with you that you do not attribute to Allah [due] grandeur

   وَقَدْ خَلَقَكُمْ أَطْوَارًا١٤

   While He has created you in stages?

   أَلَمْ تَرَوْا۟ كَيْفَ خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ سَبْعَ سَمَٰوَٰتٍۢ طِبَاقًۭا١٥

   Do you not consider how Allah has created seven heavens in layers

   وَجَعَلَ ٱلْقَمَرَ فِيهِنَّ نُورًۭا وَجَعَلَ ٱلشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًۭا١٦

   And made the moon therein a [reflected] light and made the sun a burning lamp?

   وَٱللَّهُ أَنۢبَتَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ نَبَاتًۭا١٧

   And Allah has caused you to grow from the earth a [progressive] growth.

   ثُمَّ يُعِيدُكُمْ فِيهَا وَيُخْرِجُكُمْ إِخْرَاجًۭا١٨

   Then He will return you into it and extract you [another] extraction.

   وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ بِسَاطًۭا١٩

   And Allah has made for you the earth an expanse

   لِّتَسْلُكُوا۟ مِنْهَا سُبُلًۭا فِجَاجًۭا٢٠

   That you may follow therein roads of passage.' "

   قَالَ نُوحٌۭ رَّبِّ إِنَّهُمْ عَصَوْنِى وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ مَن لَّمْ يَزِدْهُ مَالُهُۥ وَوَلَدُهُۥٓ إِلَّا خَسَارًۭا٢١

   Noah said, "My Lord, indeed they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and children will not increase him except in loss.

   وَمَكَرُوا۟ مَكْرًۭا كُبَّارًۭا٢٢

   And they conspired an immense conspiracy.

   وَقَالُوا۟ لَا تَذَرُنَّ ءَالِهَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّۭا وَلَا سُوَاعًۭا وَلَا يَغُوثَ وَيَعُوقَ وَنَسْرًۭا٢٣

   And said, 'Never leave your gods and never leave Wadd or Suwa' or Yaghuth and Ya'uq and Nasr.

   وَقَدْ أَضَلُّوا۟ كَثِيرًۭا ۖ وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا ضَلَٰلًۭا٢٤

   And already they have misled many. And, [my Lord], do not increase the wrongdoers except in error."

   مِّمَّا خَطِيٓـَٰٔتِهِمْ أُغْرِقُوا۟ فَأُدْخِلُوا۟ نَارًۭا فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا۟ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَنصَارًۭا٢٥

   Because of their sins they were drowned and put into the Fire, and they found not for themselves besides Allah [any] helpers.

   وَقَالَ نُوحٌۭ رَّبِّ لَا تَذَرْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنَ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ دَيَّارًا٢٦

   And Noah said, "My Lord, do not leave upon the earth from among the disbelievers an inhabitant.

   إِنَّكَ إِن تَذَرْهُمْ يُضِلُّوا۟ عِبَادَكَ وَلَا يَلِدُوٓا۟ إِلَّا فَاجِرًۭا كَفَّارًۭا٢٧

   Indeed, if You leave them, they will mislead Your servants and not beget except [every] wicked one and [confirmed] disbeliever.

   رَّبِّ ٱغْفِرْ لِى وَلِوَٰلِدَىَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيْتِىَ مُؤْمِنًۭا وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا تَبَارًۢا٢٨

   My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house a believer and the believing men and believing women. And do not increase the wrongdoers except in destruction."

   Read the passage · Yaseen 77–83

   أَوَلَمْ يَرَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُ مِن نُّطْفَةٍۢ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ٧٧

   Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary?

   وَضَرَبَ لَنَا مَثَلًۭا وَنَسِىَ خَلْقَهُۥ ۖ قَالَ مَن يُحْىِ ٱلْعِظَٰمَ وَهِىَ رَمِيمٌۭ٧٨

   And he presents for Us an example and forgets his [own] creation. He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?"

   قُلْ يُحْيِيهَا ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنشَأَهَآ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۢ ۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ خَلْقٍ عَلِيمٌ٧٩

   Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing."

   ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلشَّجَرِ ٱلْأَخْضَرِ نَارًۭا فَإِذَآ أَنتُم مِّنْهُ تُوقِدُونَ٨٠

   [It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite.

   أَوَلَيْسَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُم ۚ بَلَىٰ وَهُوَ ٱلْخَلَّٰقُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ٨١

   Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator.

   إِنَّمَآ أَمْرُهُۥٓ إِذَآ أَرَادَ شَيْـًٔا أَن يَقُولَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ٨٢

   His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is.

   فَسُبْحَٰنَ ٱلَّذِى بِيَدِهِۦ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ٨٣

   So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned.

   وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ١٧١

   And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,

   إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ١٧٢

   [That] indeed, they would be those given victory

   وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ١٧٣

   And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome.

   فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ١٧٤

   So, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time.

   وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ١٧٥

   And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.

   أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ١٧٦

   Then for Our punishment are they impatient?

   فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ١٧٧

   But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned.

   وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ١٧٨

   And leave them for a time.

   وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ١٧٩

   And see, for they are going to see.

   سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ١٨٠

   Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe.

   وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ١٨١

   And peace upon the messengers.

   وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ١٨٢

   And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds.

   Read the passage · Taa-Haa 1–36

   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   طه١

   Ta, Ha.

   مَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِتَشْقَىٰٓ٢

   We have not sent down to you the Qur'an that you be distressed

   إِلَّا تَذْكِرَةًۭ لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰ٣

   But only as a reminder for those who fear [Allah] -

   تَنزِيلًۭا مِّمَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ ٱلْعُلَى٤

   A revelation from He who created the earth and highest heavens,

   ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱسْتَوَىٰ٥

   The Most Merciful [who is] above the Throne established.

   لَهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَمَا تَحْتَ ٱلثَّرَىٰ٦

   To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth and what is between them and what is under the soil.

   وَإِن تَجْهَرْ بِٱلْقَوْلِ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلسِّرَّ وَأَخْفَى٧

   And if you speak aloud - then indeed, He knows the secret and what is [even] more hidden.

   ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ لَهُ ٱلْأَسْمَآءُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ٨

   Allah - there is no deity except Him. To Him belong the best names.

   وَهَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ٩

   And has the story of Moses reached you? -

   إِذْ رَءَا نَارًۭا فَقَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ ٱمْكُثُوٓا۟ إِنِّىٓ ءَانَسْتُ نَارًۭا لَّعَلِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم مِّنْهَا بِقَبَسٍ أَوْ أَجِدُ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ هُدًۭى١٠

   When he saw a fire and said to his family, "Stay here; indeed, I have perceived a fire; perhaps I can bring you a torch or find at the fire some guidance."

   فَلَمَّآ أَتَىٰهَا نُودِىَ يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ١١

   And when he came to it, he was called, "O Moses,

   إِنِّىٓ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكَ فَٱخْلَعْ نَعْلَيْكَ ۖ إِنَّكَ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًۭى١٢

   Indeed, I am your Lord, so remove your sandals. Indeed, you are in the sacred valley of Tuwa.

   وَأَنَا ٱخْتَرْتُكَ فَٱسْتَمِعْ لِمَا يُوحَىٰٓ١٣

   And I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed [to you].

   إِنَّنِىٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱعْبُدْنِى وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ لِذِكْرِىٓ١٤

   Indeed, I am Allah. There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance.

   إِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٌ أَكَادُ أُخْفِيهَا لِتُجْزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا تَسْعَىٰ١٥

   Indeed, the Hour is coming - I almost conceal it - so that every soul may be recompensed according to that for which it strives.

   فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكَ عَنْهَا مَن لَّا يُؤْمِنُ بِهَا وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ فَتَرْدَىٰ١٦

   So do not let one avert you from it who does not believe in it and follows his desire, for you [then] would perish.

   وَمَا تِلْكَ بِيَمِينِكَ يَٰمُوسَىٰ١٧

   And what is that in your right hand, O Moses?"

   قَالَ هِىَ عَصَاىَ أَتَوَكَّؤُا۟ عَلَيْهَا وَأَهُشُّ بِهَا عَلَىٰ غَنَمِى وَلِىَ فِيهَا مَـَٔارِبُ أُخْرَىٰ١٨

   He said, "It is my staff; I lean upon it, and I bring down leaves for my sheep and I have therein other uses."

   قَالَ أَلْقِهَا يَٰمُوسَىٰ١٩

   [Allah] said, "Throw it down, O Moses."

   فَأَلْقَىٰهَا فَإِذَا هِىَ حَيَّةٌۭ تَسْعَىٰ٢٠

   So he threw it down, and thereupon it was a snake, moving swiftly.

   قَالَ خُذْهَا وَلَا تَخَفْ ۖ سَنُعِيدُهَا سِيرَتَهَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ٢١

   [Allah] said, "Seize it and fear not; We will return it to its former condition.

   وَٱضْمُمْ يَدَكَ إِلَىٰ جَنَاحِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَآءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوٓءٍ ءَايَةً أُخْرَىٰ٢٢

   And draw in your hand to your side; it will come out white without disease - another sign,

   لِنُرِيَكَ مِنْ ءَايَٰتِنَا ٱلْكُبْرَى٢٣

   That We may show you [some] of Our greater signs.

   ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ٢٤

   Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed."

   قَالَ رَبِّ ٱشْرَحْ لِى صَدْرِى٢٥

   [Moses] said, "My Lord, expand for me my breast [with assurance]

   وَيَسِّرْ لِىٓ أَمْرِى٢٦

   And ease for me my task

   وَٱحْلُلْ عُقْدَةًۭ مِّن لِّسَانِى٢٧

   And untie the knot from my tongue

   يَفْقَهُوا۟ قَوْلِى٢٨

   That they may understand my speech.

   وَٱجْعَل لِّى وَزِيرًۭا مِّنْ أَهْلِى٢٩

   And appoint for me a minister from my family -

   هَٰرُونَ أَخِى٣٠

   Aaron, my brother.

   ٱشْدُدْ بِهِۦٓ أَزْرِى٣١

   Increase through him my strength

   وَأَشْرِكْهُ فِىٓ أَمْرِى٣٢

   And let him share my task

   كَىْ نُسَبِّحَكَ كَثِيرًۭا٣٣

   That we may exalt You much

   وَنَذْكُرَكَ كَثِيرًا٣٤

   And remember You much.

   إِنَّكَ كُنتَ بِنَا بَصِيرًۭا٣٥

   Indeed, You are of us ever Seeing."

   قَالَ قَدْ أُوتِيتَ سُؤْلَكَ يَٰمُوسَىٰ٣٦

   [Allah] said, "You have been granted your request, O Moses.
