Surah Al A'raf

Saheeh International

[Who is] obligated not to say about Allah except the truth. I have come to you with clear evidence from your Lord, so send with me the Children of Israel."

Saheeh International

[Pharaoh] said, "If you have come with a sign, then bring it forth, if you should be of the truthful."

Saheeh International

So Moses threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent, manifest.

Saheeh International

And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white [with radiance] for the observers.

Saheeh International

Said the eminent among the people of Pharaoh, "Indeed, this is a learned magician

Saheeh International

Who wants to expel you from your land [through magic], so what do you instruct?"

Saheeh International

They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers

Saheeh International

Who will bring you every learned magician."

Saheeh International

And the magicians came to Pharaoh. They said, "Indeed for us is a reward if we are the predominant."

Saheeh International

He said, "Yes, and, [moreover], you will be among those made near [to me]."

Saheeh International

They said, "O Moses, either you throw [your staff], or we will be the ones to throw [first]."

Saheeh International

He said, "Throw," and when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people and struck terror into them, and they presented a great [feat of] magic.

Saheeh International

And We inspired to Moses, "Throw your staff," and at once it devoured what they were falsifying.

Saheeh International

So the truth was established, and abolished was what they were doing.

Saheeh International

And Pharaoh and his people were overcome right there and became debased.

Saheeh International

And the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah ].
