Qul ya ayyuha alnnasu innee rasoolu Allahi ilaykum jameeAAan allathee lahu mulku alssamawati waal-ardi la ilaha illa huwa yuhyee wayumeetu faaminoo biAllahi warasoolihi alnnabiyyi al-ommiyyi allathee yu/minu biAllahi wakalimatihi waittabiAAoohu laAAallakum tahtadoona\n158. Say: \"O men! I am sent\n Unto you all, as the Apostle\n Of God, to Whom belongeth\n The dominion of the heavens\n And the earth: there is no god\n But He: it is He that giveth\n Both life and death. So believe\n In God and His Apostle,\n The unlettered Prophet,\n Who believeth in God\n And His Words: follow him\n That (so) ye may be guided.\"\n159. Wamin qawmi moosa ommatun yahdoona bialhaqqi wabihi yaAAdiloona\n159. Of the people of Moses\n There is a section\n Who guide and do justice\n In the light of truth.\n160. WaqattaAAnahumu ithnatay AAashrata asbatan omaman waawhayna ila moosa ithi istasqahu qawmuhu ani idrib biAAasaka alhajara fainbajasat minhu ithnata AAashrata AAaynan qad AAalima kullu onasin mashrabahum wathallalna AAalayhimu alghamama waanzalna AAalayhimu almanna waalssalwa kuloo min tayyibati ma razaqnakum wama thalamoona walakin kanoo anfusahum yathlimoona\n160. We divided them into twelve Tribes\n Or nations. We directed\n Moses by inspiration,\n When his (thirsty) people asked\n Him for water: \"Strike the rock\n With thy staff\": out of it\n There gushed forth twelve springs:\n Each group knew its own place\n For water. We gave them\n The shade of clouds, and sent\n Down to them manna and quails,\n (Saying): \"Eat of the good things\n We have provided for you\":\n (But they rebelled); to Us\n They did no harm, but\n They harmed their own souls.\n161. Wa-ith qeela lahumu oskunoo hathihi alqaryata wakuloo minha haythu shi/tum waqooloo hittatun waodkhuloo albaba sujjadan naghfir lakum khatee-atikum sanazeedu almuhsineena\n161. And remember it was\n Said to them:\n \"Dwell in this town\n And eat therein as ye wish,\n But say the word of humility\n And enter the gate\n In a posture of humility:\n We shall forgive you\n Your faults; We shall increase\n (The portion of) those who do good.\"\n162. Fabaddala allatheena thalamoo minhum qawlan ghayra allathee qeela lahum faarsalna AAalayhim rijzan mina alssama-i bima kanoo yathlimoona\n162. But the transgressors among them\n Changed the word from that\n Which had been given them\n So we sent on them\n A plague from heaven.\n For that they repeatedly transgressed.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra VII.: A\u2019r\u0101f, or the Heights: Section 20 (158-162)","type":"page"}
