Translation by Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran
Info 1 28:1
Ṭâ-Sĩn-Mĩm.
2 28:2
These are the verses of the clear Book.
3 28:3
We narrate to you ˹O Prophet˺ part of the story of Moses and Pharaoh in truth for people who believe.
4 28:4
Indeed, Pharaoh ˹arrogantly˺ elevated himself in the land and divided its people into ˹subservient˺ groups, one of which he persecuted, slaughtering their sons and keeping their women. He was truly one of the corruptors.
5 28:5
But it was Our Will to favour those who were oppressed in the land, making them models ˹of faith˺ as well as successors;
6 28:6
and to establish them in the land; and through them show Pharaoh, Hamân,1 and their soldiers ˹the fulfilment of˺ what they feared.2
7 28:7
We inspired the mother of Moses: “Nurse him, but when you fear for him, put him then into the river, and do not fear or grieve. We will certainly return him to you, and make him one of the messengers.”
8 28:8
And ˹it so happened that˺ Pharaoh’s people picked him up, only to become their enemy and source of grief. Surely Pharaoh, Hamân, and their soldiers were sinful.
9 28:9
Pharaoh’s wife said ˹to him˺, “˹This baby is˺ a source of joy for me and you. Do not kill him. Perhaps he may be useful to us or we may adopt him as a son.” They were unaware ˹of what was to come˺.
10 28:10
And the heart of Moses’ mother ached so much that she almost gave away his identity, had We not reassured her heart in order for her to have faith ˹in Allah’s promise˺.
