Translation of Verse 25-54

25. Moses prayed, "My Lord! Uplift my heart for me,

26. and make my task easy,

27. and remove the impediment from my tongue

28. so people may understand my speech, 590

29. and grant me a helper from my family,

30. Aaron, my brother.

31. Strengthen me through him,

32. and let him share my task,

33. so that we may glorify You much

34. and remember You much,

35. for truly You have ˹always˺ been overseeing us."

36. Allah responded, "All that you requested has been granted, O Moses!

37. "And surely We had shown You favour before,

38. when We inspired your mother with this:

39. 'Put him into a chest, then put it into the river. The river will wash it ashore, and he will be taken by ˹Pharaoh,˺ an enemy of Mine and his.' And I blessed you with lovability from Me 591 ˹O Moses˺ so that you would be brought up under My ˹watchful˺ Eye.

40. ˹Remember˺ when your sister came along and proposed, 'Shall I direct you to someone who will nurse him?' 592 So We reunited you with your mother so that her heart would be put at ease, and she would not grieve. ˹Later˺ you killed a man ˹by mistake˺, but We saved you from sorrow, as well as other tests We put you through. Then you stayed for a number of years among the people of Midian. Then you came here as pre-destined, O Moses!

41. And I have selected you for My service.

42. "Go forth, you and your brother, with My signs and never falter in remembering Me.

43. Go, both of you, to Pharaoh, for he has truly transgressed ˹all bounds˺.

44. Speak to him gently, so perhaps he may be mindful ˹of Me˺ or fearful ˹of My punishment˺."

45. They both pleaded, "Our Lord! We fear that he may be quick to harm us or act tyrannically."

46. Allah reassured ˹them˺, "Have no fear! I am with you, hearing and seeing.

47. So go to him and say, 'Indeed we are both messengers from your Lord, so let the Children of Israel go with us, and do not oppress them. We have come to you with a sign from your Lord. And salvation will be for whoever follows the ˹right˺ guidance.

48. It has indeed been revealed to us that the punishment will be upon whoever denies ˹the truth˺ and turns away.'"

49. Pharaoh asked, "Who then is the Lord of you two, O Moses?"

50.

51. Pharaoh asked, "And what about previous peoples?"

52. He replied, "That knowledge is with my Lord in a Record. My Lord neither falters nor forgets ˹anything˺."

53. ˹He is the One˺ Who has laid out the earth for ˹all of˺ you, and set in it pathways for you, and sends down rain from the sky, causing various types of plants to grow,

54. ˹so˺ eat and graze your cattle. Surely in this are signs for people of sound judgment.


Commentary

590. Moses ( ﷺ ) put a brand of fire in his mouth, which hindered his speech as he grew up. In this verse, he prays to Allah to help him speak clearly, and his prayer is answered.

591. In other words, Allah made Moses a likeable person so Pharaoh and his wife would agree to keep him.

592. Moses had refused all wet-nurses that were brought for him.
