Ta, Ha. ^[1]

We have not sent down to you the Qur'an that you be distressed ^[2]

But only as a reminder for those who fear [Allah] - ^[3]

A revelation from He who created the earth and highest heavens, ^[4]

The Most Merciful [who is] above the Throne established. ^[5]

To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth and what is between them and what is under the soil. ^[6]

And if you speak aloud - then indeed, He knows the secret and what is [even] more hidden. ^[7]

Allah - there is no deity except Him. To Him belong the best names. ^[8]

And has the story of Moses reached you? - ^[9]

When he saw a fire and said to his family, "Stay here; indeed, I have perceived a fire; perhaps I can bring you a torch or find at the fire some guidance." ^[10]

And when he came to it, he was called, "O Moses, ^[11]

Indeed, I am your Lord, so remove your sandals. Indeed, you are in the sacred valley of Tuwa. ^[12]

And I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed [to you]. ^[13]

Indeed, I am Allah. There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance. ^[14]

Indeed, the Hour is coming - I almost conceal it - so that every soul may be recompensed according to that for which it strives. ^[15]

So do not let one avert you from it who does not believe in it and follows his desire, for you [then] would perish. ^[16]

And what is that in your right hand, O Moses?" ^[17]

He said, "It is my staff; I lean upon it, and I bring down leaves for my sheep and I have therein other uses." ^[18]

[Allah] said, "Throw it down, O Moses." ^[19]

So he threw it down, and thereupon it was a snake, moving swiftly. ^[20]
