Ta. Sin. Mim. (1)

These are revelations of the Scripture that maketh plain. (2)

We narrate unto thee (somewhat) of the story of Moses and Pharaoh with truth, for folk who believe. (3)

Lo! Pharaoh exalted himself in the earth and made its people castes. A tribe among them he oppressed, killing their sons and sparing their women. Lo! he was of those who work corruption. (4)

And We desired to show favour unto those who were oppressed in the earth, and to make them examples and to make them the inheritors, (5)

And to establish them in the earth, and to show Pharaoh and Haman and their hosts that which they feared from them. (6)

And We inspired the mother of Moses, saying: Suckle him and, when thou fearest for him, then cast him into the river and fear not nor grieve. Lo! We shall bring him back unto thee and shall make him (one) of Our messengers. (7)

And the family of Pharaoh took him up, that he might become for them an enemy and a sorrow, Lo! Pharaoh and Haman and their hosts were ever sinning. (8)

And the wife of Pharaoh said: (He will be) a consolation for me and for thee. Kill him not. Peradventure he may be of use to us, or we may choose him for a son. And they perceived not. (9)

And the heart of the mother of Moses became void, and she would have betrayed him if We had not fortified her heart, that she might be of the believers. (10)
