Indeed, We have sent revelation to you ˹O Prophet˺ as We sent revelation to Noah and the prophets after him. We also sent revelation to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants, ˹as well as˺ Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon. And to David We gave the Psalms.

And We blessed him with Isaac and Jacob. We guided them all as We previously guided Noah and those among his descendants: David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses, and Aaron. This is how We reward the good-doers.

And mention in the Book ˹O Prophet, the story of˺ Moses. He was truly a chosen man, and was a messenger and a prophet. (51) We called him from the right side of Mount Ṭûr, and drew him near, speaking ˹with him˺ directly. (52) And We appointed for him—out of Our grace—his brother, Aaron, as a prophet. (53)

Indeed, We granted Moses and Aaron the decisive authority—a light and a reminder for the righteous,

And We certainly showed favour to Moses and Aaron, (114) and delivered them and their people from the great distress. (115) We helped them so it was they who prevailed. (116) We gave them the clear Scripture, (117) and guided them to the Straight Path. (118) And We blessed them ˹with honourable mention˺ among later generations: (119) “Peace be upon Moses and Aaron.” (120) Indeed, this is how We reward the good-doers. (121) They were truly ˹two˺ of Our faithful servants. (122)

and grant me a helper from my family, (29) Aaron, my brother. (30) Strengthen me through him, (31) and let him share my task, (32) so that we may glorify You much (33) and remember You much, (34) for truly You have ˹always˺ been overseeing us.” (35) Allah responded, “All that you requested has been granted, O  Moses! (36)

We certainly gave Moses the Book and appointed his brother Aaron as his helper. (35) We had ordered ˹them˺, “Go to the people who would deny Our signs.” Then We annihilated the deniers entirely. (36)

˹Remember˺ when your Lord called out to Moses, “Go to the wrongdoing people— (10) the people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear ˹Allah˺?” (11) He replied, “My Lord! I fear that they will reject me. (12) And ˹so˺ my heart will be broken and my tongue will be tied. So send Aaron along ˹as a messenger˺. (13) Also, they have a charge against me, so I fear they may kill me.” (14) Allah responded, “Certainly not! So go, both of you, with Our signs. We will be with you, listening. (15) Go to Pharaoh and say, ‘We are messengers from the Lord of all worlds, (16) ˹commanded to say:˺ ‘Let the Children of Israel go with us.’’” (17)

And my brother Aaron is more eloquent than I, so send him with me as a helper to support what I say, for I truly fear they may reject me.” (34) Allah responded, “We will assist you with your brother and grant you both authority, so they cannot harm you. With Our signs, you and those who follow you will ˹certainly˺ prevail.” (35)

Then after these ˹messengers˺ We sent Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh and his chiefs with Our signs. But they behaved arrogantly and were a wicked people.

We revealed to Moses and his brother, “Appoint houses for your people in Egypt. Turn these houses into places of worship, establish prayer, and give good news to the believers!”

Go forth, you and your brother, with My signs and never falter in remembering Me. (42) Go, both of you, to Pharaoh, for he has truly transgressed ˹all bounds˺. (43) Speak to him gently, so perhaps he may be mindful ˹of Me˺ or fearful ˹of My punishment˺.” (44) They both pleaded, “Our Lord! We fear that he may be quick to harm us or act tyrannically.” (45) Allah reassured ˹them˺, “Have no fear! I am with you, hearing and seeing. (46) So go to him and say, ‘Indeed we are both messengers from your Lord, so let the Children of Israel go with us, and do not oppress them. We have come to you with a sign from your Lord. And salvation will be for whoever follows the ˹right˺ guidance. (47) It has indeed been revealed to us that the punishment will be upon whoever denies ˹the truth˺ and turns away.’” (48)

Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our signs and compelling proof (45) to Pharaoh and his chiefs, but they behaved arrogantly and were a tyrannical people. (46) They argued, “Will we believe in two humans, like ourselves, whose people are slaves to us?” (47) So they rejected them both, and ˹so˺ were among those destroyed. (48)

And the magicians fell down, prostrating. (120) They declared, “We ˹now˺ believe in the Lord of all worlds— (121) the Lord of Moses and Aaron.” (122)

So the magicians fell down in prostration, declaring, “We believe in the Lord of Aaron and Moses.”

So the magicians fell down, prostrating. (46) They declared, “We ˹now˺ believe in the Lord of all worlds— (47) the Lord of Moses and Aaron.” (48)

We appointed for Moses thirty nights then added another ten—completing his Lord’s term of forty nights. Moses commanded his brother Aaron, “Take my place among my people, do what is right, and do not follow the way of the corruptors.” (142) When Moses came at the appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he asked, “My Lord! Reveal Yourself to me so I may see You.” Allah answered, “You cannot see Me! But look at the mountain. If it remains firm in its place, only then will you see Me.” When his Lord appeared to the mountain, He levelled it to dust and Moses collapsed unconscious. When he recovered, he cried, “Glory be to You! I turn to You in repentance and I am the first of the believers.” (143) Allah said, “O Moses! I have ˹already˺ elevated you above all others by My messages and speech. So hold firmly to what I have given you and be grateful.” (144) We wrote for him on the Tablets ˹the fundamentals˺ of everything; commandments and explanations of all things. ˹We commanded,˺ “Hold to this firmly and ask your people to take the best of it. I will soon show ˹all of˺ you the home of the rebellious. (145) I will turn away from My signs those who act unjustly with arrogance in the land. And even if they were to see every sign, they still would not believe in them. If they see the Right Path, they will not take it. But if they see a crooked path, they will follow it. This is because they denied Our signs and were heedless of them. (146) The deeds of those who deny Our signs and the meeting ˹with Allah˺ in the Hereafter will be in vain. Will they be rewarded except for what they have done?” (147) In the absence of Moses, his people made from their ˹golden˺ jewellery an idol of a calf that made a lowing sound. Did they not see that it could neither speak to them nor guide them to the ˹Right˺ Path? Still they took it as a god and were wrongdoers. (148) Later, when they were filled with remorse and realized they had gone astray, they cried, “If our Lord does not have mercy on us and forgive us, we will certainly be losers.” (149) When Moses returned to his people, ˹totally˺ furious and sorrowful, he said, “What an evil thing you committed in my absence! Did you want to hasten your Lord’s torment?” Then he threw down the Tablets and grabbed his brother by the hair, dragging him closer. Aaron pleaded, “O son of my mother! The people overpowered me and were about to kill me. So do not ˹humiliate me and˺ make my enemies rejoice, nor count me among the wrongdoing people.” (150) Moses prayed, “My Lord! Forgive me and my brother! And admit us into Your mercy. You are the Most Merciful of the merciful.” (151)

Aaron had already warned them beforehand, “O my people! You are only being tested by this, for indeed your ˹one true˺ Lord is the Most Compassionate. So follow me and obey my orders.” (90) They replied, “We will not cease to worship it until Moses returns to us.” (91) Moses scolded ˹his brother˺, “O Aaron! What prevented you, when you saw them going astray, (92) from following after me? How could you disobey my orders?” (93) Aaron pleaded, “O son of my mother! Do not seize me by my beard or ˹the hair of˺ my head. I really feared that you would say, ‘You have caused division among the Children of Israel, and did not observe my word.’” (94)

Their prophet further told them, “The sign of Saul’s kingship is that the Ark will come to you—containing reassurance from your Lord and relics of the family of Moses and the family of Aaron, which will be carried by the angels. Surely in this is a sign for you, if you ˹truly˺ believe.”
