Chapter 26, Page 367, Juz 19

10. (Remember) when your Lord called Mūsā saying, “Go to the transgressing people, 11. the people of Pharaoh. Do they not fear Allah?” 12. He (Mūsā) said, “My Lord, I fear that they will reject me. 13. My heart gets straitened, and my tongue is not fluent; so send for Hārūn. 14. Moreover, they have (leveled) a charge of offence against me, and I fear they will kill me;” 15. He (Allah) said, “Never! (They will not be able to kill you.) So go, both of you, with Our signs. We are with you, listening (to the conversation you will have with him.) 16. So go, both of you, to Pharaoh and say, ‘We both are messengers of the Lord of all the worlds, 17. (sent with the message) that you must send the children of Isrā’īl with us’”. 18. He (Pharaoh) said, “Did we not nourish you among us as a child? And you remained amidst us for years, 19. and you did the blunder you did; still you are ungrateful.” 20. He said, “I did that at a time when I was mistaken. 21. Then I fled away from you when I feared you. Thereafter my Lord granted wisdom to me, and made me one of the messengers. 22. As for the favor with which you are obliging me, it is that you have enslaved the children of Isrā’īl.” 23. Pharaoh said, “What is the Lord of the worlds?” 24. He (Mūsā) said, “Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever there is between them, if you are to believe” 25. He (The Pharaoh) said to those around him, “Are you not hearing?” 26. He (Mūsā) said, “Your Lord and the Lord of your early forefathers” 27. He (Pharaoh) said, “Your messenger who is sent to you is a mad man indeed.” 28. He (Mūsā) said, “Lord of the East and the West and whatever lies between them, if you are to understand.” 29. He (Pharaoh) said, “If you adopt a God other than me, I will certainly put you to prison.” 30. He (Mūsā) said “Will you (do this) even if I bring to you something evident?” 31. He said, “Then bring it, if you are truthful.” 32. So, he threw down his staff, and in no time it was a serpent, clearly visible, 33. and he drew out his hand, and right then it was a white light to the onlookers.
