Juz 15

English Translation:

Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al-Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing

English Translation:

And We gave Moses the Scripture and made it a guidance for the Children of Israel that you not take other than Me as Disposer of affairs

English Translation:

O descendants of those We carried [in the ship] with Noah. Indeed, he was a grateful servant

English Translation:

And We conveyed to the Children of Israel in the Scripture that, "You will surely cause corruption on the earth twice, and you will surely reach [a degree of] great haughtiness

English Translation:

So when the [time of] promise came for the first of them, We sent against you servants of Ours - those of great military might, and they probed [even] into the homes, and it was a promise fulfilled

English Translation:

Then We gave back to you a return victory over them. And We reinforced you with wealth and sons and made you more numerous in manpower

English Translation:

[And said], "If you do good, you do good for yourselves; and if you do evil, [you do it] to yourselves." Then when the final promise came, [We sent your enemies] to sadden your faces and to enter the temple in Jerusalem, as they entered it the first time, and to destroy what they had taken over with [total] destruction

English Translation:

[Then Allah said], "It is expected, [if you repent], that your Lord will have mercy upon you. But if you return [to sin], We will return [to punishment]. And We have made Hell, for the disbelievers, a prison-bed

English Translation:

Indeed, this Qur'an guides to that which is most suitable and gives good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a great reward

English Translation:

And that those who do not believe in the Hereafter - We have prepared for them a painful punishment

English Translation:

And man supplicates for evil as he supplicates for good, and man is ever hasty

English Translation:

And We have made the night and day two signs, and We erased the sign of the night and made the sign of the day visible that you may seek bounty from your Lord and may know the number of years and the account [of time]. And everything We have set out in detail

English Translation:

And [for] every person We have imposed his fate upon his neck, and We will produce for him on the Day of Resurrection a record which he will encounter spread open

English Translation:

[It will be said], "Read your record. Sufficient is yourself against you this Day as accountant

English Translation:

Whoever is guided is only guided for [the benefit of] his soul. And whoever errs only errs against it. And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. And never would We punish until We sent a messenger

English Translation:

And when We intend to destroy a city, We command its affluent but they defiantly disobey therein; so the word comes into effect upon it, and We destroy it with [complete] destruction

English Translation:

And how many have We destroyed from the generations after Noah. And sufficient is your Lord, concerning the sins of His servants, as Acquainted and Seeing

English Translation:

Whoever should desire the immediate - We hasten for him from it what We will to whom We intend. Then We have made for him Hell, which he will [enter to] burn, censured and banished

English Translation:

But whoever desires the Hereafter and exerts the effort due to it while he is a believer - it is those whose effort is ever appreciated [by Allah]

English Translation:

To each [category] We extend - to these and to those - from the gift of your Lord. And never has the gift of your Lord been restricted

English Translation:

Look how We have favored [in provision] some of them over others. But the Hereafter is greater in degrees [of difference] and greater in distinction

English Translation:

Do not make [as equal] with Allah another deity and [thereby] become censured and forsaken

English Translation:

And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff," and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word

English Translation:

And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say, "My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small

English Translation:

Your Lord is most knowing of what is within yourselves. If you should be righteous [in intention] - then indeed He is ever, to the often returning [to Him], Forgiving

English Translation:

And give the relative his right, and [also] the poor and the traveler, and do not spend wastefully

English Translation:

Indeed, the wasteful are brothers of the devils, and ever has Satan been to his Lord ungrateful

English Translation:

And if you [must] turn away from the needy awaiting mercy from your Lord which you expect, then speak to them a gentle word

English Translation:

And do not make your hand [as] chained to your neck or extend it completely and [thereby] become blamed and insolvent

English Translation:

Indeed, your Lord extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]. Indeed He is ever, concerning His servants, Acquainted and Seeing

English Translation:

And do not kill your children for fear of poverty. We provide for them and for you. Indeed, their killing is ever a great sin

English Translation:

And do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse. Indeed, it is ever an immorality and is evil as a way

English Translation:

And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden, except by right. And whoever is killed unjustly - We have given his heir authority, but let him not exceed limits in [the matter of] taking life. Indeed, he has been supported [by the law]

English Translation:

And do not approach the property of an orphan, except in the way that is best, until he reaches maturity. And fulfill [every] commitment. Indeed, the commitment is ever [that about which one will be] questioned

English Translation:

And give full measure when you measure, and weigh with an even balance. That is the best [way] and best in result

English Translation:

And do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge. Indeed, the hearing, the sight and the heart - about all those [one] will be questioned

English Translation:

And do not walk upon the earth exultantly. Indeed, you will never tear the earth [apart], and you will never reach the mountains in height

English Translation:

All that - its evil is ever, in the sight of your Lord, detested

English Translation:

That is from what your Lord has revealed to you, [O Muhammad], of wisdom. And, [O mankind], do not make [as equal] with Allah another deity, lest you be thrown into Hell, blamed and banished

English Translation:

Then, has your Lord chosen you for [having] sons and taken from among the angels daughters? Indeed, you say a grave saying

English Translation:

And We have certainly diversified [the contents] in this Qur'an that mankind may be reminded, but it does not increase the disbelievers except in aversion

English Translation:

Say, [O Muhammad], "If there had been with Him [other] gods, as they say, then they [each] would have sought to the Owner of the Throne a way

English Translation:

Exalted is He and high above what they say by great sublimity

English Translation:

The seven heavens and the earth and whatever is in them exalt Him. And there is not a thing except that it exalts [Allah] by His praise, but you do not understand their [way of] exalting. Indeed, He is ever Forbearing and Forgiving

English Translation:

And when you recite the Qur'an, We put between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter a concealed partition

English Translation:

And We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And when you mention your Lord alone in the Qur'an, they turn back in aversion

English Translation:

We are most knowing of how they listen to it when they listen to you and [of] when they are in private conversation, when the wrongdoers say, "You follow not but a man affected by magic

English Translation:

Look how they strike for you comparisons; but they have strayed, so they cannot [find] a way

English Translation:

And they say, "When we are bones and crumbled particles, will we [truly] be resurrected as a new creation

English Translation:

Say, "Be you stones or iron

English Translation:

Or [any] creation of that which is great within your breasts." And they will say, "Who will restore us?" Say, "He who brought you forth the first time." Then they will nod their heads toward you and say, "When is that?" Say, "Perhaps it will be soon

English Translation:

On the Day He will call you and you will respond with praise of Him and think that you had not remained [in the world] except for a little

English Translation:

And tell My servants to say that which is best. Indeed, Satan induces [dissension] among them. Indeed Satan is ever, to mankind, a clear enemy

English Translation:

Your Lord is most knowing of you. If He wills, He will have mercy upon you; or if He wills, He will punish you. And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], over them as a manager

English Translation:

And your Lord is most knowing of whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And We have made some of the prophets exceed others [in various ways], and to David We gave the book [of Psalms]

English Translation:

Say, "Invoke those you have claimed [as gods] besides Him, for they do not possess the [ability for] removal of adversity from you or [for its] transfer [to someone else]

English Translation:

Those whom they invoke seek means of access to their Lord, [striving as to] which of them would be nearest, and they hope for His mercy and fear His punishment. Indeed, the punishment of your Lord is ever feared

English Translation:

And there is no city but that We will destroy it before the Day of Resurrection or punish it with a severe punishment. That has ever been in the Register inscribed

English Translation:

And nothing has prevented Us from sending signs except that the former peoples denied them. And We gave Thamud the she-camel as a visible sign, but they wronged her. And We send not the signs except as a warning

English Translation:

And [remember, O Muhammad], when We told you, "Indeed, your Lord has encompassed the people." And We did not make the sight which We showed you except as a trial for the people, as was the accursed tree [mentioned] in the Qur'an. And We threaten them, but it increases them not except in great transgression

English Translation:

And [mention] when We said to the angles, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He said, "Should I prostrate to one You created from clay

English Translation:

[Iblees] said, "Do You see this one whom You have honored above me? If You delay me until the Day of Resurrection, I will surely destroy his descendants, except for a few

English Translation:

[Allah] said, "Go, for whoever of them follows you, indeed Hell will be the recompense of you - an ample recompense

English Translation:

And incite [to senselessness] whoever you can among them with your voice and assault them with your horses and foot soldiers and become a partner in their wealth and their children and promise them." But Satan does not promise them except delusion

English Translation:

Indeed, over My [believing] servants there is for you no authority. And sufficient is your Lord as Disposer of affairs

English Translation:

It is your Lord who drives the ship for you through the sea that you may seek of His bounty. Indeed, He is ever, to you, Merciful

English Translation:

And when adversity touches you at sea, lost are [all] those you invoke except for Him. But when He delivers you to the land, you turn away [from Him]. And ever is man ungrateful

English Translation:

Then do you feel secure that [instead] He will not cause a part of the land to swallow you or send against you a storm of stones? Then you would not find for yourselves an advocate

English Translation:

Or do you feel secure that He will not send you back into the sea another time and send upon you a hurricane of wind and drown you for what you denied? Then you would not find for yourselves against Us an avenger

English Translation:

And We have certainly honored the children of Adam and carried them on the land and sea and provided for them of the good things and preferred them over much of what We have created, with [definite] preference

English Translation:

[Mention, O Muhammad], the Day We will call forth every people with their record [of deeds]. Then whoever is given his record in his right hand - those will read their records, and injustice will not be done to them, [even] as much as a thread [inside the date seed]

English Translation:

And whoever is blind in this [life] will be blind in the Hereafter and more astray in way

English Translation:

And indeed, they were about to tempt you away from that which We revealed to you in order to [make] you invent about Us something else; and then they would have taken you as a friend

English Translation:

And if We had not strengthened you, you would have almost inclined to them a little

English Translation:

Then [if you had], We would have made you taste double [punishment in] life and double [after] death. Then you would not find for yourself against Us a helper

English Translation:

And indeed, they were about to drive you from the land to evict you therefrom. And then [when they do], they will not remain [there] after you, except for a little

English Translation:

[That is Our] established way for those We had sent before you of Our messengers; and you will not find in Our way any alteration

English Translation:

Establish prayer at the decline of the sun [from its meridian] until the darkness of the night and [also] the Qur'an of dawn. Indeed, the recitation of dawn is ever witnessed

English Translation:

And from [part of] the night, pray with it as additional [worship] for you; it is expected that your Lord will resurrect you to a praised station

English Translation:

And say, "My Lord, cause me to enter a sound entrance and to exit a sound exit and grant me from Yourself a supporting authority

English Translation:

And say, "Truth has come, and falsehood has departed. Indeed is falsehood, [by nature], ever bound to depart

English Translation:

And We send down of the Qur'an that which is healing and mercy for the believers, but it does not increase the wrongdoers except in loss

English Translation:

And when We bestow favor upon the disbeliever, he turns away and distances himself; and when evil touches him, he is ever despairing

English Translation:

Say, "Each works according to his manner, but your Lord is most knowing of who is best guided in way

English Translation:

And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about the soul. Say, "The soul is of the affair of my Lord. And mankind have not been given of knowledge except a little

English Translation:

And if We willed, We could surely do away with that which We revealed to you. Then you would not find for yourself concerning it an advocate against Us

English Translation:

Except [We have left it with you] as a mercy from your Lord. Indeed, His favor upon you has ever been great

English Translation:

Say, "If mankind and the jinn gathered in order to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like of it, even if they were to each other assistants

English Translation:

And We have certainly diversified for the people in this Qur'an from every [kind] of example, but most of the people refused [anything] except disbelief

English Translation:

And they say, "We will not believe you until you break open for us from the ground a spring

English Translation:

Or [until] you have a garden of palm tress and grapes and make rivers gush forth within them in force [and abundance]

English Translation:

Or you make the heaven fall upon us in fragments as you have claimed or you bring Allah and the angels before [us]

English Translation:

Or you have a house of gold or you ascend into the sky. And [even then], we will not believe in your ascension until you bring down to us a book we may read." Say, "Exalted is my Lord! Was I ever but a human messenger

English Translation:

And what prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them except that they said, "Has Allah sent a human messenger

English Translation:

Say, "If there were upon the earth angels walking securely, We would have sent down to them from the heaven an angel [as a] messenger

English Translation:

Say, "Sufficient is Allah as Witness between me and you. Indeed he is ever, concerning His servants, Acquainted and Seeing

English Translation:

And whoever Allah guides - he is the [rightly] guided; and whoever He sends astray - you will never find for them protectors besides Him, and We will gather them on the Day of Resurrection [fallen] on their faces - blind, dumb and deaf. Their refuge is Hell; every time it subsides We increase them in blazing fire

English Translation:

That is their recompense because they disbelieved in Our verses and said, "When we are bones and crumbled particles, will we [truly] be resurrected [in] a new creation

English Translation:

Do they not see that Allah, who created the heavens and earth, is [the one] Able to create the likes of them? And He has appointed for them a term, about which there is no doubt. But the wrongdoers refuse [anything] except disbelief

English Translation:

Say [to them], "If you possessed the depositories of the mercy of my Lord, then you would withhold out of fear of spending." And ever has man been stingy

English Translation:

And We had certainly given Moses nine evident signs, so ask the Children of Israel [about] when he came to them and Pharaoh said to him, "Indeed I think, O Moses, that you are affected by magic

English Translation:

[Moses] said, "You have already known that none has sent down these [signs] except the Lord of the heavens and the earth as evidence, and indeed I think, O Pharaoh, that you are destroyed

English Translation:

So he intended to drive them from the land, but We drowned him and those with him all together

English Translation:

And We said after Pharaoh to the Children of Israel, "Dwell in the land, and when there comes the promise of the Hereafter, We will bring you forth in [one] gathering

English Translation:

And with the truth We have sent the Qur'an down, and with the truth it has descended. And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a bringer of good tidings and a warner

English Translation:

And [it is] a Qur'an which We have separated [by intervals] that you might recite it to the people over a prolonged period. And We have sent it down progressively

English Translation:

Say, "Believe in it or do not believe. Indeed, those who were given knowledge before it - when it is recited to them, they fall upon their faces in prostration

English Translation:

And they say, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, the promise of our Lord has been fulfilled

English Translation:

And they fall upon their faces weeping, and the Qur'an increases them in humble submission

English Translation:

Say, "Call upon Allah or call upon the Most Merciful. Whichever [name] you call - to Him belong the best names." And do not recite [too] loudly in your prayer or [too] quietly but seek between that an [intermediate] way

English Translation:

And say, "Praise to Allah, who has not taken a son and has had no partner in [His] dominion and has no [need of a] protector out of weakness; and glorify Him with [great] glorification

English Translation:

[All] praise is [due] to Allah, who has sent down upon His Servant the Book and has not made therein any deviance

English Translation:

[He has made it] straight, to warn of severe punishment from Him and to give good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a good reward

English Translation:

In which they will remain forever

English Translation:

And to warn those who say, "Allah has taken a son

English Translation:

They have no knowledge of it, nor had their fathers. Grave is the word that comes out of their mouths; they speak not except a lie

English Translation:

Then perhaps you would kill yourself through grief over them, [O Muhammad], if they do not believe in this message, [and] out of sorrow

English Translation:

Indeed, We have made that which is on the earth adornment for it that We may test them [as to] which of them is best in deed

English Translation:

And indeed, We will make that which is upon it [into] a barren ground

English Translation:

Or have you thought that the companions of the cave and the inscription were, among Our signs, a wonder

English Translation:

[Mention] when the youths retreated to the cave and said, "Our Lord, grant us from Yourself mercy and prepare for us from our affair right guidance

English Translation:

So We cast [a cover of sleep] over their ears within the cave for a number of years

English Translation:

Then We awakened them that We might show which of the two factions was most precise in calculating what [extent] they had remained in time

English Translation:

It is We who relate to you, [O Muhammad], their story in truth. Indeed, they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance

English Translation:

And We made firm their hearts when they stood up and said, "Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. Never will we invoke besides Him any deity. We would have certainly spoken, then, an excessive transgression

English Translation:

These, our people, have taken besides Him deities. Why do they not bring for [worship of] them a clear authority? And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah a lie

English Translation:

[The youths said to one another], "And when you have withdrawn from them and that which they worship other than Allah, retreat to the cave. Your Lord will spread out for you of His mercy and will prepare for you from your affair facility

English Translation:

And [had you been present], you would see the sun when it rose, inclining away from their cave on the right, and when it set, passing away from them on the left, while they were [laying] within an open space thereof. That was from the signs of Allah. He whom Allah guides is the [rightly] guided, but he whom He leaves astray - never will you find for him a protecting guide

English Translation:

And you would think them awake, while they were asleep. And We turned them to the right and to the left, while their dog stretched his forelegs at the entrance. If you had looked at them, you would have turned from them in flight and been filled by them with terror

English Translation:

And similarly, We awakened them that they might question one another. Said a speaker from among them, "How long have you remained [here]?" They said, "We have remained a day or part of a day." They said, "Your Lord is most knowing of how long you remained. So send one of you with this silver coin of yours to the city and let him look to which is the best of food and bring you provision from it and let him be cautious. And let no one be aware of you

English Translation:

Indeed, if they come to know of you, they will stone you or return you to their religion. And never would you succeed, then - ever

English Translation:

And similarly, We caused them to be found that they [who found them] would know that the promise of Allah is truth and that of the Hour there is no doubt. [That was] when they disputed among themselves about their affair and [then] said, "Construct over them a structure. Their Lord is most knowing about them." Said those who prevailed in the matter, "We will surely take [for ourselves] over them a masjid

English Translation:

They will say there were three, the fourth of them being their dog; and they will say there were five, the sixth of them being their dog - guessing at the unseen; and they will say there were seven, and the eighth of them was their dog. Say, [O Muhammad], "My Lord is most knowing of their number. None knows them except a few. So do not argue about them except with an obvious argument and do not inquire about them among [the speculators] from anyone

English Translation:

And never say of anything, "Indeed, I will do that tomorrow

English Translation:

Except [when adding], "If Allah wills." And remember your Lord when you forget [it] and say, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me to what is nearer than this to right conduct

English Translation:

And they remained in their cave for three hundred years and exceeded by nine

English Translation:

Say, "Allah is most knowing of how long they remained. He has [knowledge of] the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth. How Seeing is He and how Hearing! They have not besides Him any protector, and He shares not His legislation with anyone

English Translation:

And recite, [O Muhammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord. There is no changer of His words, and never will you find in other than Him a refuge

English Translation:

And keep yourself patient [by being] with those who call upon their Lord in the morning and the evening, seeking His countenance. And let not your eyes pass beyond them, desiring adornments of the worldly life, and do not obey one whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance and who follows his desire and whose affair is ever [in] neglect

English Translation:

And say, "The truth is from your Lord, so whoever wills - let him believe; and whoever wills - let him disbelieve." Indeed, We have prepared for the wrongdoers a fire whose walls will surround them. And if they call for relief, they will be relieved with water like murky oil, which scalds [their] faces. Wretched is the drink, and evil is the resting place

English Translation:

Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - indeed, We will not allow to be lost the reward of any who did well in deeds

English Translation:

Those will have gardens of perpetual residence; beneath them rivers will flow. They will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and will wear green garments of fine silk and brocade, reclining therein on adorned couches. Excellent is the reward, and good is the resting place

English Translation:

And present to them an example of two men: We granted to one of them two gardens of grapevines, and We bordered them with palm trees and placed between them [fields of] crops

English Translation:

Each of the two gardens produced its fruit and did not fall short thereof in anything. And We caused to gush forth within them a river

English Translation:

And he had fruit, so he said to his companion while he was conversing with him, "I am greater than you in wealth and mightier in [numbers of] men

English Translation:

And he entered his garden while he was unjust to himself. He said, "I do not think that this will perish - ever

English Translation:

And I do not think the Hour will occur. And even if I should be brought back to my Lord, I will surely find better than this as a return

English Translation:

His companion said to him while he was conversing with him, "Have you disbelieved in He who created you from dust and then from a sperm-drop and then proportioned you [as] a man

English Translation:

But as for me, He is Allah, my Lord, and I do not associate with my Lord anyone

English Translation:

And why did you, when you entered your garden, not say, 'What Allah willed [has occurred]; there is no power except in Allah '? Although you see me less than you in wealth and children

English Translation:

It may be that my Lord will give me [something] better than your garden and will send upon it a calamity from the sky, and it will become a smooth, dusty ground

English Translation:

Or its water will become sunken [into the earth], so you would never be able to seek it

English Translation:

And his fruits were encompassed [by ruin], so he began to turn his hands about [in dismay] over what he had spent on it, while it had collapsed upon its trellises, and said, "Oh, I wish I had not associated with my Lord anyone

English Translation:

And there was for him no company to aid him other than Allah, nor could he defend himself

English Translation:

There the authority is [completely] for Allah, the Truth. He is best in reward and best in outcome

English Translation:

And present to them the example of the life of this world, [its being] like rain which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it and [then] it becomes dry remnants, scattered by the winds. And Allah is ever, over all things, Perfect in Ability

English Translation:

Wealth and children are [but] adornment of the worldly life. But the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for [one's] hope

English Translation:

And [warn of] the Day when We will remove the mountains and you will see the earth prominent, and We will gather them and not leave behind from them anyone

English Translation:

And they will be presented before your Lord in rows, [and He will say], "You have certainly come to Us just as We created you the first time. But you claimed that We would never make for you an appointment

English Translation:

And the record [of deeds] will be placed [open], and you will see the criminals fearful of that within it, and they will say, "Oh, woe to us! What is this book that leaves nothing small or great except that it has enumerated it?" And they will find what they did present [before them]. And your Lord does injustice to no one

English Translation:

And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was of the jinn and departed from the command of his Lord. Then will you take him and his descendants as allies other than Me while they are enemies to you? Wretched it is for the wrongdoers as an exchange

English Translation:

I did not make them witness to the creation of the heavens and the earth or to the creation of themselves, and I would not have taken the misguiders as assistants

English Translation:

And [warn of] the Day when He will say, "Call 'My partners' whom you claimed," and they will invoke them, but they will not respond to them. And We will put between them [a valley of] destruction

English Translation:

And the criminals will see the Fire and will be certain that they are to fall therein. And they will not find from it a way elsewhere

English Translation:

And We have certainly diversified in this Qur'an for the people from every [kind of] example; but man has ever been, most of anything, [prone to] dispute

English Translation:

And nothing has prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them and from asking forgiveness of their Lord except that there [must] befall them the [accustomed] precedent of the former peoples or that the punishment should come [directly] before them

English Translation:

And We send not the messengers except as bringers of good tidings and warners. And those who disbelieve dispute by [using] falsehood to [attempt to] invalidate thereby the truth and have taken My verses, and that of which they are warned, in ridicule

English Translation:

And who is more unjust than one who is reminded of the verses of his Lord but turns away from them and forgets what his hands have put forth? Indeed, We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And if you invite them to guidance - they will never be guided, then - ever

English Translation:

And your Lord is the Forgiving, full of mercy. If He were to impose blame upon them for what they earned, He would have hastened for them the punishment. Rather, for them is an appointment from which they will never find an escape

English Translation:

And those cities - We destroyed them when they wronged, and We made for their destruction an appointed time

English Translation:

And [mention] when Moses said to his servant, "I will not cease [traveling] until I reach the junction of the two seas or continue for a long period

English Translation:

But when they reached the junction between them, they forgot their fish, and it took its course into the sea, slipping away

English Translation:

So when they had passed beyond it, [Moses] said to his boy, "Bring us our morning meal. We have certainly suffered in this, our journey, [much] fatigue

English Translation:

He said, "Did you see when we retired to the rock? Indeed, I forgot [there] the fish. And none made me forget it except Satan - that I should mention it. And it took its course into the sea amazingly

English Translation:

[Moses] said, "That is what we were seeking." So they returned, following their footprints

English Translation:

And they found a servant from among Our servants to whom we had given mercy from us and had taught him from Us a [certain] knowledge

English Translation:

Moses said to him, "May I follow you on [the condition] that you teach me from what you have been taught of sound judgement

English Translation:

He said, "Indeed, with me you will never be able to have patience

English Translation:

And how can you have patience for what you do not encompass in knowledge

English Translation:

[Moses] said, "You will find me, if Allah wills, patient, and I will not disobey you in [any] order

English Translation:

He said, "Then if you follow me, do not ask me about anything until I make to you about it mention

English Translation:

So they set out, until when they had embarked on the ship, al-Khidh r tore it open. [Moses] said, "Have you torn it open to drown its people? You have certainly done a grave thing

English Translation:

[Al-Khidh r] said, "Did I not say that with me you would never be able to have patience

English Translation:

[Moses] said, "Do not blame me for what I forgot and do not cover me in my matter with difficulty

English Translation:

So they set out, until when they met a boy, al-Khidh r killed him. [Moses] said, "Have you killed a pure soul for other than [having killed] a soul? You have certainly done a deplorable thing
