So when he (Musa) wanted to assault the one who was an enemy to both of them, he (the enemy) said: O Musa! Do you want to kill me as you killed someone the pervious day? You only want to be a tyrant in the land and do not want to be of the amenders.

And when the truth came to them from Us, they said: Why was he not given like that which was given to Musa? Did they not disbelieve in that which was given to Musa before? They said: Two acts of magic supporting each other. And they said: Indeed, we are, in both, unbelievers.
[Al Quran ; 28:48]

قُلْ فَأْتُوا بِكِتَابٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ هُوَ أَهْدَىٰ مِنْهُمَا أَتَّبِعْهُ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ (49)

أُولَٰئِكَ يُؤْتَوْنَ أَجْرَهُمْ مَرَّتَيْنِ بِمَا صَبَرُوا وَيَدْرَءُونَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَ (54)

Those will be given their reward twice because of how they patiently endured and (because) they exchanged bad for good and (because) from what We provided them, they spend.
[Al Quran ; 28:54]

وَإِذَا سَمِعُوا اللَّغْوَ أَعْرَضُوا عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا لَنَا أَعْمَالُنَا وَلَكُمْ أَعْمَالُكُمْ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ لَا نَبْتَغِي الْجَاهِلِينَ (55)

And they said: If we follow the guidance with you, we would be snatched from our land. Have We not established for them a secure sanctuary to which are brought the produce of everything as provision from Us? But most of them do not know.
[Al Quran ; 28:57]

---

وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ بَطِرَتْ مَعِيشَتَهَا ۖ فَتِلْكَ مَسَاكِنُهُمْ لَمْ تُسْكَنْ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا ۖ وَكُنَّا نَحْنُ الْوَارِثِينَ (58)

[Al Quran ; 28:71]

---

قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمُ النَّهَارَ سَرْمَدًا إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ مَنْ إِلَٰهٌ غَيْرُ اللَّهِ يَأْتِيكُمْ بِلَيْلٍ تَسْكُنُونَ فِيهِ ۖ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ (72)

Say: Have you considered if Allah were to make the day upon you continues until the day of resurrection, what god other than Allah could bring you a night in which you rest? Will you not then see?
[Al Quran ; 28:72]

---

وَمِنْ رَحْمَتِهِ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ لِتَسْكُنُوا فِيهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا مِنْ فَضْلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ (73)

And out of His mercy He made for you the night and the day to rest therein and to seek from His grace and (that) perhaps you will be grateful.
[Al Quran ; 28:73]

---

وَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيهِمْ فَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ شُرَكَائِيَ الَّذِينَ كُنْتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ (74)

And the day He will call them and say: Where are My associates whom you used to allege.
[Al Quran ; 28:74]

---

وَنَزَعْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ شَهِيدًا فَقُلْنَا هَاتُوا بُرْهَانَكُمْ فَعَلِمُوا أَنَّ الْحَقَّ لِلَّهِ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ (75)

And We will pull from each nation a witness and say: Bring your proof. So they will know that the truth belongs to Allah and that which they forged has turned away from them.
[Al Quran ; 28:75]

---

إِنَّ قَارُونَ كَانَ مِنْ قَوْمِ مُوسَىٰ فَبَغَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ۖ وَآتَيْنَاهُ مِنَ الْكُنُوزِ مَا إِنَّ مَفَاتِحَهُ لَتَنُوءُ بِالْعُصْبَةِ أُولِي الْقُوَّةِ إِذْ قَالَ لَهُ قَوْمُهُ لَا تَفْرَحْ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْفَرِحِينَ (76)

Indeed, Qarun was from the people of Musa, then he perpetrated against them. And We gave him of the tressures whose keys would be a burden upon a group of men possessing strength. When his people said to him: Do not rejoice; indeed, Allah does not like those who rejoice.
[Al Quran ; 28:76]

---

وَابْتَغِ فِيمَا آتَاكَ اللَّهُ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ ۖ وَلَا تَنْسَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَأَحْسِنْ كَمَا أَحْسَنَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ ۖ وَلَا تَبْغِ الْفَسَادَ فِي الْأَرْضِ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُفْسِدِينَ (77)

And seek, through that which Allah has given you, the home of the hereafter; and do not forget your share of this world and do good as Allah has done good to you and do not seek mischief in the land. Indeed, Allah does not like the mischief makers.
[Al Quran ; 28:77]

---

قَالَ إِنَّمَا أُوتِيتُهُ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عِنْدِي ۚ أَوَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَهْلَكَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ مِنَ الْقُرُونِ مَنْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ قُوَّةً وَأَكْثَرُ جَمْعًا ۚ وَلَا يُسْأَلُ عَنْ ذُنُوبِهِمُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ (78)

He (Qarun) said: I was only given it because of a knowledge I have. Did he not know that Allah destroyed before him of the generations those who were more than him in power and more in accumulation (of wealth)? And the criminals will not be asked about their sins.
[Al Quran ; 28:78]

---

فَخَرَجَ عَلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ فِي زِينَتِهِ ۖ قَالَ الَّذِينَ يُرِيدُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا يَا لَيْتَ لَنَا مِثْلَ مَا أُوتِيَ قَارُونُ إِنَّهُ لَذُو حَظٍّ عَظِيمٍ (79)

So he came out before his people in his adornment. Those who want the life of this world said: Oh, would it be that for us is the like of what was given to Qarun; indeed, he is possessing great fortune.
[Al Quran ; 28:79]

---

وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ وَيْلَكُمْ ثَوَابُ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لِمَنْ آمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا وَلَا يُلَقَّاهَا إِلَّا الصَّابِرُونَ (80)

And those who were given knowledge said: Woe to you! The reward of Allah is better for him who has believed and done good deed; and none is granted it except the patient.

فَخَسَفْنَا بِهِ وَبِدَارِهِ الْأَرْضَ فَمَا كَانَ لَهُ مِنْ فِئَةٍ يَنْصُرُونَهُ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُنْتَصِرِينَ (81)

So We caused the earth to swallow him and his home; and there was for him no party to help him other than Allah, nor was he of those who can help themselves.

وَأَصْبَحَ الَّذِينَ تَمَنَّوْا مَكَانَهُ بِالْأَمْسِ يَقُولُونَ وَيْكَأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَيَقْدِرُ ۖ لَوْلَا أَنْ مَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا لَخَسَفَ بِنَا ۖ وَيْكَأَنَّهُ لَا يُفْلِحُ الْكَافِرُونَ (82)

And those who had wished for his place the previous day said: Oh, how Allah extends the provision to whom He wills of His servants and restricts it. Had it not been that Allah bestowed favours upon us, He could have caused the earth to swallow us. And indeed, the unbelievers will never succeed.
[Al Quran ; 28:82]

---

تِلْكَ الدَّارُ الْآخِرَةُ نَجْعَلُهَا لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُرِيدُونَ عُلُوًّا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فَسَادًا ۚ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ (83)

That home of the hereafter, We make it to those who desire not exaltedness in the land or mischief; and the (good) consequence is for those who fear.

مَنْ جَاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْهَا ۖ وَمَنْ جَاءَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَلَا يُجْزَى الَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا السَّيِّئَاتِ إِلَّا مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ (84)

Whoever comes with good, he will have better than it; and whoever comes with evil, then those who did evil will not be rewarded except what they used to do.

إِنَّ الَّذِي فَرَضَ عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْآنَ لَرَادُّكَ إِلَىٰ مَعَادٍ ۚ قُلْ رَبِّي أَعْلَمُ مَنْ جَاءَ بِالْهُدَىٰ وَمَنْ هُوَ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُبِينٍ (85)

Indeed, the One Who imposed upon you the Quran will bring you back to a place of return (the hereafter). Say: My Lord is most Knowing who has come with guidance and who is in an obvious error.
[Al Quran ; 28:85]

---

وَمَا كُنْتَ تَرْجُو أَنْ يُلْقَىٰ إِلَيْكَ الْكِتَابُ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً مِنْ رَبِّكَ ۖ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ ظَهِيرًا لِلْكَافِرِينَ (86)

And you were not expecting that the book would be sent to you, (it is not) except a mercy from your Lord, so be not a supporter to the unbelievers.
[Al Quran ; 28:86]

وَلَا يَصُدُّنَّكَ عَنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ بَعْدَ إِذْ أُنْزِلَتْ إِلَيْكَ ۖ وَادْعُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ۖ وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ (87)

And do not call with Allah another god. There is no god except He; everything will be destroyed except His face. To Him belongs judgment and to Him you will be returned.
