Sura Al-Shu'ara from 40 to 60


40. « That we may follow the sorcerers [ who were on Fir‘aun’s ( Pharaoh ) religion of disbelief ] if they are the winners. »
41. So when the sorcerers arrived, they said to Fir‘aun ( Pharaoh ) : « Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners? »
42. He said: « Yes, and you shall then verily be of those brought near ( to myself ) . »
43. Mûsâ ( Moses ) said to them: « Throw what you are going to throw! »
44. So they threw their ropes and their sticks, and said: « By the might of Fir‘aun ( Pharaoh ) , it is we who will certainly win! »
45. Then Mûsâ ( Moses ) threw his stick, and behold, it swallowed up all that they falsely showed!
46. And the sorcerers fell down prostrate.
47. Saying: « We believe in the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn ( mankind, jinn and all that exists ) .»
48. « The Lord of Mûsâ ( Moses ) and Hârûn ( Aaron ) . »
49. [ Fir‘aun ( Pharaoh ) ] said: « You have believed in him before I give you leave. Surely, he indeed is your chief, who has taught you magic! So verily, you shall come to know. Verily, I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you all. »
50. They said: « No harm! Surely, to our Lord ( Allâh ) we are to return.»
51. « Verily we really hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins, as we are the first of the believers [ in Mûsâ ( Moses ) and in the Monotheism which he has brought from Allâh ] . »
52. And We revealed to Mûsâ ( Moses ) , saying: « Depart by night with My slaves, verily you will be pursued. »
53. Then Fir‘aun ( Pharaoh ) sent callers to ( all ) the cities.
54. ( Saying ) : « Verily these indeed are but a small band.»
55. « And verily, they have done what has enraged us.»
56. « But we are a host all assembled, amply fore- warned. »
57. So, We expelled them from gardens and springs,
58. Treasures, and every kind of honourable place.
59. Thus [ We turned them ( Pharaoh’s people ) out ] and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them.
60. So they pursued them at sunrise.
