Sura 20: TA-HA (TA-HA) - Juz' 16 - Translation Qarib

قَالَ فَمَا بَالُ الْقُرُونِ الْأُولَى ﴿۵۱﴾
He (Pharaoh) asked: 'How was it then, with the former generations? ' (51)
قَالَ عِلْمُهَا عِنْدَ رَبِّي فِي كِتَابٍ لَا يَضِلُّ رَبِّي وَلَا يَنْسَى ﴿۵۲﴾
He (Moses) answered: 'The knowledge of them is in a Book with My Lord. My Lord neither goes astray, nor forgets. (52)
الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ مَهْدًا وَسَلَكَ لَكُمْ فِيهَا سُبُلًا وَأَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِ أَزْوَاجًا مِنْ نَبَاتٍ شَتَّى ﴿۵۳﴾
It is He who has made for you the earth as a cradle and threaded roads for you and sends down water from the sky with which We bring forth every kind of plant. (53)
كُلُوا وَارْعَوْا أَنْعَامَكُمْ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِأُولِي النُّهَى ﴿۵۴﴾
You eat and let your cattle graze. ' Surely, in this there are signs for those of understanding. (54)
مِنْهَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمْ وَمِنْهَا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تَارَةً أُخْرَى ﴿۵۵﴾
We created you from it (the earth), and to it We shall restore you; and from it We will bring you forth yet a second time. (55)
وَلَقَدْ أَرَيْنَاهُ آيَاتِنَا كُلَّهَا فَكَذَّبَ وَأَبَى ﴿۵۶﴾
So We showed him (Pharaoh) Our signs, all of them, but he belied and refused them. (56)
قَالَ أَجِئْتَنَا لِتُخْرِجَنَا مِنْ أَرْضِنَا بِسِحْرِكَ يَا مُوسَى ﴿۵۷﴾
He said: 'Moses, have you come to drive us from our land with your sorcery? (57)
فَلَنَأْتِيَنَّكَ بِسِحْرٍ مِثْلِهِ فَاجْعَلْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ مَوْعِدًا لَا نُخْلِفُهُ نَحْنُ وَلَا أَنْتَ مَكَانًا سُوًى ﴿۵۸﴾
We will indeed bring sorcery similar to yours. Appoint a meeting place between us and you, in a place which is agreeable to both which neither we nor you shall not fail (to keep). ' (58)
قَالَ مَوْعِدُكُمْ يَوْمُ الزِّينَةِ وَأَنْ يُحْشَرَ النَّاسُ ضُحًى ﴿۵۹﴾
He (Moses) replied: 'Your meeting shall be on the day of the feast, and let the people be assembled by midmorning. ' (59)

So Pharaoh withdrew and gathered his guile, then returned, (60)
