Tafseer 14

Al Salam alaikum wa Rahmat Allah wa Barakatoh

"قالوا لن نؤثرك على ما جاءنا من البينات والذي فطرنا فاقض ما أنت قاض إنما تقضي هذه الحياة الدنيا"

Meaning:  They said:  "We prefer you not over what have come to us of the clear signs and to Him (Allah) Who created us.  So, decree whatever you desire to decree, for you can only decree (regarding) this life of the world."

"إنا آمنا بربنا ليغفر لنا خطايانا وما أكرهتنا عليه من السحر والله خير وأبقى"

"Verily, we have believed in our Lord, that He may forgive us our faults, and the magic to which you did compel us.  And Allah is better [as regards reward in comparison to your Fir‘aun's (Pharaoh's) reward], and more lasting (as regards punishment in comparison to your punishment.)"

"إنه من يأت ربه مجرمًا فإن له جهنم لا يموت فيها ولا يحيا"

Verily, whoever comes to his Lord as a Mujrim (criminal, polytheist, sinner, disbeliever in the Oneness of Allah and His Messengers), then surely, for him is Hell, wherein he will neither die nor live.

"ومن يأته مؤمنًا قد عمل الصالحات فأولئك لهم الدرجات العلى"

But whoever comes to Him (Allah) as a believer (in the Oneness of Allah), and has done righteous good deeds, for such are the high ranks (in the Hereafter)

"جنات عدن تجري من تحتها الأنهار خالدين فيها وذلك جزاء من تزكى"

‘Adn (Eden) Paradise (everlasting Gardens), under which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever, and such is the reward of those who purify themselves (by abstaining from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which Allah has forbidden and by doing all that Allah ahs ordained).

"ولقد أوحينا إلى موسى أن أسر بعبادي فاضرب لهم في البحر طريقًا يبسًا لا تخاف دركًا ولا تخشى"

And indeed We revealed to Musa (Moses) (saying):  "Travel by night with ‘Ibadi (My slaves) and strike a dry path for them in the sea, fearing neither to be overtaken [by Fir‘aun (Pharaoh)] nor being afraid (of drowning in the sea)"

"فأتبعهم فرعون بجنوده فغشيهم من اليم ما غشيهم"

Then Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) pursued them with his hosts, but the sea water completely overwhelmed them and covered them up.

"وأضل فرعون قومه وما هدى"

And Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) led his people astray, and he did not guide them.

"يا بني إسرائيل قد أنجيناكم من عدوكم وواعدناكم جانب الطور الأيمن ونزلنا عليكم المن والسلوى"

O Children of Israel!  We delivered you from your enemy, and We made a covenant with you on the right side of the Mount, and We sent down to you Al-Manna and quail

"كلوا من طيبات ما رزقناكم ولا تطغوا فيه فيحل عليكم غضبي ومن يحلل عليه غضبي فقد هوى"

(Saying) eat of the Tayyibat (good lawful things) wherewith We have provided you, and commit no transgression or oppression therein, lest My Anger should justly descend on you.  And he on whom My Anger descends, he is indeed perished.  (Tafsir At-Tabari)

"وإني لغفار لمن تاب وآمن وعمل صالحًا ثم اهتدى"

And verily, I am indeed forgiving to him who repents, believes (in My Oneness, and associate none in worship with Me) and does righteous good deeds, and then remains constant in doing them (till his death).
