Chapter 20, Page 314, Juz 16

25. He said, “My Lord, put my heart at peace for me, 26. and make my task easy for me 27. and remove the knot from my tongue, 28. so that they may understand my speech. 29. And make for me an assistant from my own family, 30. that is, Hārūn, my brother. 31. Enhance with him my strength, 32. and make him share my task, 33. so that we proclaim Your purity in abundance 34. and remember You in abundance. 35. You are certainly watchful over us.” 36. He said, “You have been granted your request O Mūsā. 37. And We had bestowed Our favour on you another time, 38. when We revealed to your mother what was to be revealed, 39. that is, ‘Put him (the baby) in the chest, then cast it into the river, then let the river throw it by the shore, and it will be picked up by one who is enemy to Me and enemy to him.’ And I had cast love on you from Myself (so that you might be favourite of all), and that you might be brought up under My eye. 40. (Remember) when your sister was going (to the family of Pharaoh) and was saying, ‘Shall I lead you to one who nurses him?’ Thus We brought you back to your mother, so that her eyes might have comfort and she might not grieve. And you had killed a person, then We brought you out of the trouble; and We tested you with a great ordeal. Then you lived a number of years amidst the people of Madyan. After all this, you came O Mūsā, to a destined point of time. 41. I have fashioned you for Myself. 42. Go, you and your brother, with My signs, and do not be slack in My remembrance. 43. Go, both of you, to Pharaoh; he has indeed transgressed all limits. 44. So speak to him in soft words. May be, he accepts the advice or fears (Allah)”. 45. They said, “Our Lord, we fear that he will hasten against us, or will become (more) rebellious (against You).” 46. He said, “Do not be afraid. I AM surely with you both. I hear and I see. 47. So, come to him and say, ‘We are the messengers of your Lord. So, let the children of Isrā’īl go with us, and do not persecute them. We have come to you with a sign from your Lord; and peace be upon the one who follows the guidance. 48. Verily, it has been revealed to us that the punishment is for the one who denies and turns away.’”
