Allah Guided Recitations Quiyyam (midnight)
Qasas 14-43
And when he reached his grown up age and attained his full strength, We bestowed him judgement andknowledge. And thus We reward the good doers.
And he entered the city, at a time when the people of the city, were unaware in their noons' nap, and foundthere two men fighting, one was of Musa's party, and the other of his enemies Then the one that was of hisparty sought his help against him who was of his enemies. Therefore Musa gave a blow to him and put an endof him; he said, This is of the work of the evil (Satan)', undoubtedly, he is an enemy, a clear miss-leader.
He submitted, 'O my Lord', 'I have exceeded the limit against my soul, therefore forgive me, then the Lordforgave him. Undoubtedly, He it is the Forgiving, Merciful.
He submitted, 'O my Lord as you have blessed me, therefore now I shall never be a helper to the culprits.
Then he passed the night in the city fearing and waiting anxiously what happens, when he saw that he whohad sought help the day before is crying for help. Musa said to him, undoubtedly, you are manifestly amisguided man'.
Then when Musa wished to lay hold of him who is an enemy to both, he said, 'O Musa', do you intend to killme as you did kill a person yesterday'? You only intend to become violent in the land and intend not to reform.
And a man came running from the far side of the city. He said, 'O Musa', undoubtedly, the chiefs arecounseling together to kill you, therefore get away; I am your well wisher'.
Then he got out of the city fearing and waiting anxiously what happens now. He submitted, 'O my Lord, saveme from the oppressors'.
And when he diverted his attention towards Madian, he said, 'it is near that my Lord may tell me the straightpath'.
And when he came at the water of Madian, there he saw parties of the people are watering their animals, andat the other side of them, he saw two women that they are holding back their animals; Musa said, 'what is thecondition of you two'? They said, 'we do not water until all shepherds take away their animals after watering,and our father is very old.'
Then Musa watered their animals for them both, then turned back towards the shade, and said, 'O my Lord', Iam in need of that food which You may send down for me.'
Then one of the two came to him walking bashfully and said, 'my father invites you that he may give you wagefor that you have watered our animals'. When Musa came to him and related to him the story, he said, 'fearnot; you have been rescued from the oppressors'
One of the two women said, 'O my father'. Employ him'. Undoubtedly, the best employee is he who is strongand trustworthy'.
He said, 'I intend that I may marry to you one of my two daughters on the condition of such a dower that youmay serve me for eight years, but if you complete full ten years, then it will be from your side, and I do notdesire to put you in hardship. It is near if Allah wills you would find me of the righteous.
Musa said, 'this has been agreed between you and me. Whichever of the two terms, I fulfil, then there is nodemand against me. And Allah is responsible over what we say'.
When Musa fulfilled his term and departed with his wife, he observed a fire from the side of the Tur (Mountain)He said to his household, 'stay you here, I have observed a fire from the side of Tur, perhaps I may bring yousome news from there, or I may bring to you any brand from the fire that you may warm yourself.
Then when he came to it, a call was made from the right side of the valley in the blessed spot, out of the tree,'O Musa, I am, I am Allah, the Lord of the entire world'.
And cast down your staff. Then when Musa saw it wriggling as it were a serpent, he set out turning his backand did not look behind. 'O Musa', come before and fear not, undoubtedly, you are secure.
Put your hand in your bosom, it will come out white shining without defect, and put your hand on your chestfor removing the fear. So these are the two arguments of your Lord toward Firawn and his chiefs. Undoubtedly,they are dis-obedient people.
He said, 'I have killed a person from among them, I therefore, fear that they may kill me'.
And my brother Haroon, he is more eloquent is speech than me, therefore appoint him a Messenger for myhelp that he may confirm me, I fear that they will belie me.
He said, 'It is near that We shall strengthen your arm with your brother and shall give you both dominance,then they could not harm you on account of Our signs. You both and those: who will follow shall triumph'.
Then when Musa brought to them Our bright signs, they said, 'this is nothing, but magic fabricated, and we didnot hear the like among our earlier fathers'.
And Musa said, 'my Lord knows well him who brought guidance from Him and for whom will be the home ofthe Hereafter. Undoubtedly, the unjust reach not to the goal.
And Firawn said, 'O chiefs, I know not for you any god beside myself; therefore, 'O Haman, after burning clay(bricks) build for me a high palace that perhaps I may ascend and peep into the god of Musa, andundoubtedly, I imagine that indeed he is a liar'.
And he and his army wished unjust greatness in the land and thought that they are not to return towards Us.
Therefore We seized him and his army and cast them into the river. See them, how became the end of theoppressors.
And We made them leaders of the people of Hell that they call towards the Fire; and they shall not be helpedon the Day of Resurrection.
And We set curse to follow them in this world; and on the Day of resurrection, theirs is the ugly condition.
