20:56
in His book. He does not err, nor does He forget. It is He who has made
the earth your cradle and made in it paths for you to walk on. It is He
who sends down water from the sky with which He brings forth every
kind of plant, (saying): “Eat and pasture your cattle. Surely in this
there are signs for men of understanding. From the earth We have
created you, and to the earth We will restore you; and from it We will
bring you back (to life).” ’
We showed Pharaoh Our signs, but he denied them and gave no
heed. He said: 'Have you come, Musa, to drive us from our land with
your sorcery? Know that we will confront you with magic as powerful
as yours. Appoint a tryst between us and you, which neither we nor
you shall fail to keep, and a place equally distant from you and from
ourselves.'
He replied: 'Meet me on the day of the Feast, and let all the people
be assembled before noon.'
Pharaoh with drew; he gathered his magicians and came back (with
them). 'Woe to you!' saidMusa. 'Invent no falsehoods againstAllah, or
He will destroy youwithHis scourge. Liars will surely fail.'
They disputed one with another, but kept what they said secret.
They said (to Pharaoh); 'These two are sorcerers who intend to drive
you from your land by their magic and destroy your noblest traditions.
Muster all your power and then assemble in ranks; those who win
today shall surely triumph.'
ToMusa they said: ‘Will you first throwdown or shall we? '
'Throw first,' he answered.
