Sura Ta-Ha from 52 to 64


52. [ Mûsâ ( Moses ) ] said: « The knowledge thereof is with my Lord, in a Record. My Lord neither errs nor He forgets. »
53. Who has made earth for you like a bed ( spread out ) ; and has opened roads ( ways and paths ) for you therein, and has sent down water ( rain ) from the sky. And We have brought forth with it various kinds of vegetation.
54. Eat and pasture your cattle ( therein ) ; verily, in this are Ayât ( proofs and signs ) for men of understanding.
55. Thereof ( the earth ) We created you, and into it We shall return you, and from it We shall bring you out once again.
56. And indeed We showed him [ Fir‘aun ( Pharaoh ) ] all Our Ayât ( signs and evidence ) , but he denied and refused.
57. He [ Fir‘aun ( Pharaoh ) ] said: « Have you come to drive us out of our land with your magic, O Mûsâ ( Moses ) ?»
58. « Then verily, we can produce magic the like thereof; so appoint a meeting between us and you, which neither we nor you shall fail to keep, in an open place where both shall have a just and equal chance ( and beholders could witness the competition ) . »
59. [ Mûsâ ( Moses ) ] said: « Your appointed meeting is the day of the festival, and let the people assemble when the sun has risen ( forenoon ) . »
60. So Fir‘aun ( Pharaoh ) withdrew, devised his plot and then came back.
61. Mûsâ ( Moses ) said to them: « Woe unto you! Invent not a lie against Allâh, lest He should destroy you completely by a torment. And surely, he who invents a lie ( against Allâh ) will fail miserably. »
62. Then they debated one with another what they must do, and they kept their talk secret.
63. They said: « Verily these are two magicians. Their object is to drive you out from your land with magic, and overcome your chiefs and nobles.»
64. « So devise your plot, and then assemble in line. And whoever overcomes this day will be indeed successful. »
