28. Al-Qasas - The Quran

• 1. Ta. Sin. Mim.

• 2. These are Verses of the Book that makes (things) clear.

• 3. We rehearse to thee some of the story of Moses and Pharaoh in Truth, for people who believe.

• 4. Truly Pharaoh elated himself in the land and broke up its people into sections, depressing a small group among them: their sons he slew, but he kept alive their females: for he was indeed a maker of mischief.

• 5. And We wished to be Gracious to those who were being depressed in the land, to make them leaders (in Faith) and make them heirs,

• 6. To establish a firm place for them in the land, and to show Pharaoh, Haman, and their hosts, at their hands, the very things against which they were taking precautions.

• 7. So We sent this inspiration to the mother of Moses: "Suckle (thy child), but when thou hast fears about him, cast him into the river, but fear not nor grieve: for We shall restore him to thee, and We shall make him one of Our messengers."

• 8. Then the people of Pharaoh picked him up (from the river): (It was intended) that (Moses) should be to them an adversary and a cause of sorrow: for Pharaoh and Haman and (all) their hosts were men of sin.
