Surah Al-Qasas (القصص)

The Stories · Meccan · 88 ayahs · Juz 20

• 28:1

  طسٓمٓ

  Taa Seen Meem (Only Allaah knows the correct meaning of these letters).

• 28:2

  تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ

  These are the Aayaat of the Clear (explicit) Book (the Qur'aan).

• 28:3

  نَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْكَ مِن نَّبَإِ مُوسَىٰ وَفِرْعَوْنَ بِٱلْحَقِّ لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ

  With the truth, We recite to you something from the story of Moosa عليه الصلاة والسلام and Fir'oun (specifically) for (the benefit of) those people who have Imaan (because those without Imaan will not accept the message).

• 28:4

  إِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ عَلَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَجَعَلَ أَهْلَهَا شِيَعًا يَسْتَضْعِفُ طَآئِفَةً مِّنْهُمْ يُذَبِّحُ أَبْنَآءَهُمْ وَيَسْتَحْىِۦ نِسَآءَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ

  Verily Fir'oun glorified himself on earth and divided the people (of Egypt) into groups (to serve him). He weakened (suppressed) a party of them (the Bani Israa'eel), slaughtered their sons (so that none of them may rise against him as he had dreamt), while keeping their daughters alive (to serve him). He was certainly from the transgressors.

• 28:5

  وَنُرِيدُ أَن نَّمُنَّ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتُضْعِفُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَنَجْعَلَهُمْ أَئِمَّةً وَنَجْعَلَهُمُ ٱلْوَٰرِثِينَ

  We intended to favour those who were weakened (suppressed viz. the Bani Israa'eel) in the land (of Egypt) by making them leaders (rather than the subjects they used to be), making them successors (who survived after the destruction of Fir'oun's people),

• 28:6

  وَنُمَكِّنَ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَنُرِىَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَـٰمَـٰنَ وَجُنُودَهُمَا مِنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَحْذَرُونَ

  (We intended to favour the Bani Israa'eel) by granting them authority in the land and showing Fir'oun, Haamaan (Fir'oun's chief minister) and their armies (followers) what they most feared from these weakened people (that the Bani Israa'eel will be the cause of their downfall).

• 28:7

  وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَرْضِعِيهِ ۖ فَإِذَا خِفْتِ عَلَيْهِ فَأَلْقِيهِ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ وَلَا تَخَافِى وَلَا تَحْزَنِىٓ ۖ إِنَّا رَآدُّوهُ إِلَيْكِ وَجَاعِلُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

  (After Moosa عليه الصلاة والسلام was born and his mother feared that Fir'oun's men would kill him,) We inspired Moosa عليه الصلاة والسلام's mother (instructing her), “(Continue to) Nurse him. (However,) When you fear for his life, then place him in (a basket, which should be put into) the river (Nile) and neither fear (for his safety because We shall protect him) nor grieve (over your separation from him because it will not be for a long while). We shall certainly return him to you (to suckle) and have made him from among the Ambiyaa." (After placing the baby Moosa in the Nile, the basket floated past the palace of Fir'oun, whose wife had it removed from the water. She then decided to adopt the child as her own, as mentioned in the coming verses.)
