20. SURAH TA-HA
(This Surah is Makkan, containing
135 verses and 8 sections)
Allah’s Name to commence
with, the Most Gracious, the
Most Merciful.
20:1. Ta-Ha. (These are individual
letters of the Arabic alphabet;
Allah and His Messenger know
their exact meanings.)
20:2. O Beloved, We have not
sent down this Qur’aan upon you
that you may fall into hardship.
20:3. Yes, as advice for he who
fears (Allah).
20:4. Sent down by the One
Who created the earth and the
high heavens.
20:5. The Most Gracious
established His Authority upon
the Throne.
20:6. To Him belongs whatever
is in the heavens and whatever
is in the earth, and whatever is
between them and whatever is
beneath this moist soil.
20:7. And if you speak aloud,
He knows the secret and that
which is even more hidden.
20:8. Allah; that no one is to be
worshipped except Him. Only
His are all the Good Names.
20:9. And did the news of
Moosa come to you?
20:10. When he saw a fire and
said to his wife, ‘Stop! I have
seen a fire, perhaps I may bring
you a live coal from it or find a
way at the fire.’
20:11. Then, when he came near
the fire, a call was given, ‘O
Moosa!’
20:12. ‘Indeed, I am your Lord;
therefore, take off your shoes.
Indeed, you are in the sacred
jungle (i.e. valley) of Tuwa.’
20:13. ‘And I have chosen you;
now, listen attentively to what
is to be revealed to you.’
20:14, ‘Indeed, only I am Allah;
that there is no one worthy of
worship except Me; hence,
worship Me and establish Salah
for My remembrance.
20:15. ‘Indeed, the Last Day is
imminent; it was close that I hide
it from all, in order that every
soul gets rewarded of its effort.’
20:16. ‘So (O people of Moosa),
let not the one who does not
believe in it and follows his
own desires prevent you from
accepting it, lest you perish.’
20:17, ‘And what is this which you
have in your right hand, O Moosa”
20:18. He submitted, ‘This is my
staff; I lean on it, and I knock
down leaves for my goats with
it, and there are other tasks of
20:19. He (Allah) said, ‘Cast it
down, O Moosa!
20:20. Moosa therefore cast it
down; so, it suddenly became a
snake, running.
20:21. He (Allah) said, ‘Pick it
up and do not fear, We shall
now restore it to its original
form.’
20:22, ‘And place your hand
joining with your arm (below the
armpit); it will come out (shining)
bright white, not due to any
illness; (this is) one more sign.’
20:23. ‘In order that We may
show you Our great signs.’
20:24. ‘Go to Fir’awn, he has
become a rebel.’
20:25. Said Moosa, ‘O my Lord,
open up my chest for me (to
increase my confidence).’
20:26. ‘And make my task easy
20:27. ‘And untie the knot of tl “Y, wh- 8s 2
my tongue.’ OGLAessoss ois
20:28. ‘In order that they may SP 22h 5 962°
understand my speech. od$ rere
20:29. ‘And appoint for me a
minister from my family.
20:30. ‘Who is that? Haaroon,
my brother.’
20:31. ‘Strengthen my back with
him.’
20:32. ‘And make him a partner
in my task,’
20:33. ‘In order that we may B
glorify You abundantly.’ Olgss a ta ae
20:34. ‘And remember You
abundantly.’
20:35. ‘Indeed, You are seeing
20:36. He (Allah) said, ‘O
Moosa, you have been granted
your wish.
20:37. ‘And indeed, once more We
had bestowed favour upon you.’
20:38. ‘When We inspired your
mother with whatever was to
be inspired.’
20:39. ‘That “Put this child
(Moosa) into a trunk and cast it
into the river, the river shall
thus cast it on the bank; that
there My enemy and his enemy
(ie. Fir’awn) shall pick him
up.” And I placed upon you
love from Me; and in order that
you may be brought up in My
sight (i.e. in My protection).’
20:40. ‘Your sister walked
along, then suggested, “Shall I
point out to you the people
who may nurse him?” And We
brought you back to your
mother in order to cool her eyes
and that she may not grieve.
And you killed a man, We
henceforth freed you from that
sorrow and tested you well. So,
you stayed for several years
amongst the people of Madyan,
you then came (here) at an
appointed time, O Moosa.’
20:41. ‘And I created you
particularly for Myself (to
propagate the true religion).’
20:42. ‘So, you and your
brother; both go with My signs,
and do not be inattentive in My
remembrance.’
20:43. ‘Both of you go to Fir’awn,
he has indeed become a rebel.’
20:44. ‘So, speak to him gently
in the hope that he may reflect
or have some fear.’
20:45. They both submitted, ‘O
our Lord, we indeed fear that he
may commit excess against us
or confront us with mischief,’
20:46. He (Allah) said, ‘Fear not;
Iam with you, All-Hearing and
All-Seeing.’
20:47. ‘Therefore, go to him and
tell him we have been sent by
your Lord; so, leave the
Children of Ya’qoob with us,
and do not torture them. We
have indeed brought to you a
sign from your Lord, and peace
be upon him who follows
guidance.’
20:48. ‘Indeed, revelation has
come to us that the punishment
is upon the one who belies and
turns his face.’
20:49. He (Fir’awn) said, ‘So, who
is the Lord of you both, O Moosa?!
20:50. He (Moosa) said, ‘Our
Lord is He Who gave a befitting
form to everything, then
showed the (right) path.’
20:51. Said (Fir’awn), ‘What is the
state of the previous generations?’
20:52. He (Moosa) said, ‘The
knowledge of them is with my
Lord in a Book (ie. the
Preserved Tablet); my Lord
neither strays nor forgets.’
20:53. The One Who has made
the earth a bed for you, and
kept active paths for you
therein and sent down water
from the sky; so, with it We
brought forth various pairs of
vegetation.
20:54. Eat, and (also) graze your
cattle; indeed, in this are signs
for the people of intellect.
20:55. We have created you
simply from the earth, and only
to it We shall take you back,
and only from it We shall cause
you to rise again.
20:56. And indeed, We showed
him all of Our _ signs;
consequently, he belied and did
not accept.
20:57. He (Fir’awn) said, ‘Have
you come to us in order to
banish us from our land using
your magic, O Moosa?!
20:58. ‘So, we will definitely
bring similar magic in front of
you, therefore, fix an agreed
time between us and you (for a
challenge), from which neither
we nor you shall turn away, at
(an open and) a level place.’
20:59. Said Moosa, ‘Your agreed
time is the day of the festival,
and that the people be assembled
during the brightness of the day.’
20:60. So, Fir’lawn went back
and gathered up his deceptive
schemes, then returned.
20:61. Moosa said to them, ‘Woe
to you! Do not fabricate lie
against Allah, that He may
destroy you by punishment;
and whoever fabricated lie
indeed remained unsuccessful.’
20:62. So, they (the magicians)
disputed with one another
regarding their task and
consulted secretly.
20:63. They said, ‘Undoubtedly,
these two are definitely
magicians; they desire to banish
you from your land by the
strength of their magic and do
away with your good religion.’
20:64. ‘Therefore, strengthen your
scheme, and come forth lined up.
And whosoever dominates this
day has succeeded.
20:65. They said, ‘0 Moosa,
either you throw first, or shall
we throw first?!
20:66. Moosa said, ‘Rather, you
throw.’ Thereupon, their ropes
and their staffs, by the strength
of their magic, appeared to him
(Moosa) as if they were
(snakes) running.
20:67. And Moosa sensed fear
in his heart (that people may
believe in this magic).
20:68. We said, ‘Fear not; only
you are dominant.’
20:69. ‘And cast down what is
in your right hand, it will
swallow their fabrications; that
which they have made and
brought, that is only a trick of
the magicians. And a magician
is never successful, wherever
he comes to.’
20:70. Thus, all the magicians
were thrown down into
prostration, they said, ‘We
brought faith in Him Who is the
Lord of Haaroon and Moosa.’
20:71. Said Fir’awn, ‘Did you
believe in him before I (even)
permitted you? He (Moosa) is
indeed your superior who
taught you magic. Therefore, I
swear I will definitely cut off
your hands and your feet from
alternate sides, and crucify you
on the (dry) trunk of a date
tree. And you will surely come
to know amongst (both of) us
as to whose punishment is
severe and lasting.’
20:72. They said, ‘We shall
never give preference to you
over the clear proofs that have
come to us. By the oath of our
Creator, so; do what you are to
do (i.e. we do not care); you will
only do in the life of this world.’
20:73. ‘Indeed, we believed in
our Lord, so that He may
forgive our sins and the magic
which you forced us to
perform. And Allah is the Best,
and the Most Lasting.’
20:74. Indeed, the one who comes
as a criminal in the Majestic
Court of his Lord (having died
on. disbelief); consequently, for
him is undoubtedly Hell, in
which he will neither die nor live
(peacefully).
20:75. And the one who
presents himself as a believer in
His Majestic Court, that he has
done good deeds; so, only their
ranks are high.
20:76. (For them are) Gardens
for living, beneath which rivers
flow, abiding in them forever;
and this is the reward of him
who became pure.
20:77. And We indeed sent
revelation to Moosa; that ‘By
night, take away My bondsmen
and make a dry path for them
in the river, you shall have no
fear of Fir’awn capturing (you)
nor danger.’
20:78. So, Fir’awn went after
them with his army, the river
hence covered them just the
way it covered them (ie.
drowned. them completely).
20:79. And Fir’awn led his people
astray and did not guide them.
20:80. O Children of Israel!
Indeed, We rescued you from
your enemy, and We gave you
the promise of the right side of
Toor (Sinai), and sent down
Manna and Salwa upon you.
20:81. ‘Eat the pure things We
have provided you and do not
exceed in this, that My wrath
may descend upon you; and
the one upon whom My wrath
has descended, he has indeed
20:82. And I am indeed Most
Forgiving for him who
repented, and believed and did
good deeds; then remained
upon guidance.
20:83. ‘And why did you come
in haste ahead of your people
(at Mount Toor), O Moosa?’
20:84. He submitted, ‘They are
here; just behind me, and O my
Lord, I hastened towards You,
that You may be pleased.
20:85. He (Allah) said, ‘We have
henceforth tested your people
after you came, and Saamiri has
led them astray.’
20:86. So, Moosa returned to his
people; full of anger, grieving;
he said, ‘O my people! Did your
Lord not give you a good
promise? Did a long time pass
by you, or did you wish that
your Lord’s wrath may befall
you? So, you broke your
promise with me.’
20:87. They said, ‘We did not
default on our promise to you
on our own will, but we were
made to carry the burdens of
the ornaments of these people,
we therefore cast them {into the
fire), and similarly did Saamiri
cast.’
20:88. So, he took out a calf for
them; a lifeless body, producing
a cow-like sound. So, they
iri and his followers
deceptively) said, ‘This is your
God and the God of Moosa;
Moosa has forgotten (to inform
you about this god).’
20:89. So, do they not see that it
does not respond to any speech
of theirs, and has no power to
cause them any harm or
benefit?
20:90. And Haaroon had
undoubtedly told them
beforehand, ‘O my people! It is
such that, due to that (calf), you
have fallen into trial. And your
Lord is indeed the Most
Gracious; so, follow me and
obey my command.’
20:91. They said, ‘We will
continue to sit around it firmly
(to worship it) until Moosa
returns to us.’
20:92. Said Moosa, ‘O Haaroon,
what prevented you (from
guiding them) when you saw
them going astray.’
20:93. ‘That you did not come
after me (to inform me). So, did
you disobey my order?’
20:94. He (Haaroon) said, ‘O son
of my mother, do not grab my
beard nor the hair of my head. I
feared that you would say, “(O
Haaroon) you have caused a
division amongst the Children
of Israel and did not wait for
my word.”
20:95. Said Moosa, ‘And what is
your position, O Saamiri?’
20:96. He said, ‘I saw what the
people did not see. I took a
handful of sand from the
footprint (of the horse of
Jibra’eel), then placed it (into
the mouth of the calf), and this
is what pleased my soul.’
20:97. Said (Moosa), ‘So, go away
(whoever will touch you will —
sick), that your i
this life is (total isolation); that i me
you say, “Do not touch (me).”
And for you is indeed an
appointed time, which will not
be unfulfilled from you. And
look at your deity, in front of
which you remained sitting
firmly; worshipping it for the
whole day. We swear an oath
we will definitely burn it, then
crushing it into bits and pieces,
we will make it flow in the river.’
20:98. “Your God is indeed only
worthy of worship; His knowledge
encompasses everything.’
20:99. This is how We relate the
former news to you (O
Beloved), and We have given
you remembrance (ie. the
Qur’aan) from Ourselves.
20:100. Whoever turns away
from it will indeed carry a
burden on the Day of
Resurrection.
20:101. They will remain
therein forever, and what an
evil burden it will be for them
on the Day of Resurrection.
20:102. On the Day when the
Trumpet will be blown and We
shall raise the culprits on that
Day; blue-eyed (with terror and
darkened faces).
20:103. Whispering _ secretly
amongst themselves, ‘You have
not stayed on earth but for ten
nights.’
20:104. We know well what
they will utter; whereas, the
wisest among them will state
that “You have stayed just for a
day.
20:105. And they ask you (O
Beloved) regarding the mountains;
say you, ‘My Lord will blow them
away after breaking them into bits
and pieces!
20:106. ‘So, leaving the earth
just as a flat field.’
20:107. ‘In which you shall see
neither any high point nor low
point.’
20:108. On that Day, they will
run after a caller (the angel
Israafeel); there will be no
crookedness therein (without
going to the right or left of that
call). And all voices shall become
low in the Majestic Court of the
Most Gracious; thus, you will not
hear except a faint sound.
20:109. On that Day, no one’s
intercession shall benefit except
the one to whom the Most
Gracious has given permission
and whose word He has liked.
20:110. He knows whatever is
ahead of them and whatever is
behind them, and their knowledge
cannot encompass Him.
20:111. And all faces shall bow
in the Majestic Court of the All-
Living, the All-Sustaining. And
the one who bore the burden of
injustice undoubtedly remained
unsuccessful.
20:112. And the one who does
some good deeds and is a
Muslim, he shall therefore have
ne fear of injustice nor of any
oss.
20:113. And this is how We
revealed it as an Arabic
Qur’aan, and therein gave the
promises of punishment in
various ways; that they may
fear, or it may generate some
contemplation in their hearts.
20:114. So, Allah is the Most High,
the True King. And do not hasten
in the Qur’aan (O Beloved) until
its revelation has been completed
to you. And submit (in this
manner) that ‘O my Lord, bestow
upon me more knowledge.’
20:115. And before this, We had
indeed given an emphasised
commandment to Adam; so, he
forgot, and We did not find his
intention (ie. to eat the forbidden
fruit).
20:116. And when We
commanded the angels, ‘Prostrate
to Adam,’ they all hence fell
down in prostration, except Iblees
(Satan); he did not accept.
20:117. We henceforth said, ‘O
Adam, he is indeed the enemy
of you and your wife. So, it
should not happen that he may
get you both out of Paradise;
then you may fall into
hardship.’
20:118. ‘Indeed, for you in
Paradise is this; that you may
never be hungry nor be naked.’
20:119. ‘And this; that you
never feel thirsty nor feel the
heat of the sun.
20:120. So, the Devil whispered
to him; saying, ‘O Adam, shall I
inform you of the tree of
immortality and a kingdom
that does not get worn out?’
20:121. So, they both ate
therefrom, now their things of
shame became manifest to
them, and they began applying
the leaves of Paradise on
themselves (in order to cover
themselves); and Adam slipped
up in the command of his Lord;
so, what he had desired (i.e.
achieving immortality), he did
not find the way to it.
20:122. Then, his Lord chose
him, so He focused His Mercy
towards him and guided him
towards His special closeness.
20:123. He (Allah) said that
‘Both of you go down from
Paradise; together, (O progeny
of Adam) you are an enemy to
one another. Then, if guidance
comes to all of you from Me; so,
whosoever follows My
guidance will not go astray nor
become ill-fated.’
20:124. ‘And the one who
turned his face away from My
remembrance; indeed, for him
is a life of hardship, and We
shall raise him blind on the Day
of Resurrection.
20:125. He will say, ‘O my Lord,
why have You raised me blind;
whereas, I possessed sight?!
20:126. He (Allah) will say, ‘Our
verses came to you in a like
manner, you forgot them; and
in the same way, nobody will
take any notice of you today.’
20:127. And this is how We
recompense him who
transgresses and does not believe
in the verses of his Lord. And
the punishment of the Hereafter
is indeed the most severe and
the most lasting.
20:128. So, did they not gain
guidance from (knowing) how
many generations We destroyed
before them; that these (people)
walk about in the place of their
dwelling? Indeed, in that are
signs for the people of intellect.
20:129. And had a Word (ie. the
decision to delay the punishment
of the disbelievers) of your Lord
not been decreed, and if a term
had not been appointed (ie. the
Day of Judgement), the
i it would have therefore
definitely gripped them.
20:130. Therefore (O Beloved), be
patient upon their (blasphemous)
utterances, and whilst praising
your Lord, proclaim His Purity,
before the sun rises and before it
sets. And proclaim His Purity in
some parts of the night and at
the ends of the day, in this hope;
that, you may be pleased.
20:131. And O listener! Do not
spread your eyes towards that
which We have given to
disbelieving pairs to enjoy; the
delight of the worldly life, that
We may test them because of it.
And the sustenance of your
Lord is the best and the most
lasting.
20:132. And command your
family to establish Salah, and
be steadfast in it yourself. We
do not ask for any sustenance
from you at all; (rather) We will
provide you sustenance. And
the excellent result is for (the
people of) piety.
20:133. And the disbelievers said,
‘Why does he not bring to us a
sign from his Lord?’ And has
there not come to them the
explanation of what is in the
former scriptures (i.e. mentioning
of the Qur’aan and the Beloved
Prophet)?
20:134, And had We destroyed
them with any type of
punishment before the arrival
of a Messenger, they would
have therefore certainly said, ‘O
our Lord, why did You not
send a Messenger to us; that we
would have followed Your
verses before being humiliated
and disgraced?’
20:135. Say you (O Beloved),
‘Each one is waiting; so, you
should also wait. So, you will
now come to know who are the
people of the right path, and
who attained guidance.’
