Ta. Sin. Mim. These are the verses of the lucid Book. We narrate to you accurately some of the history of Moses and Pharaoh1 for the benefit of those who believe.2 The fact is that Pharaoh adopted an attitude of rebellion in the land3 and divided its dwellers into groups,4 one of which he debased, putting their sons to death, and letting their daughters live:5 indeed he was one of the mischief-makers. And it was Our will to show favor to those who had been oppressed in the land to make them leaders and to make them the heirs,6 to give them power in the land,7 and to show Pharaoh and Haman,8 and their hosts, at their hands, the same which they feared. We9 inspired the mother of Moses, saying, "Suckle him, and when you see any danger for him, cast him into the river, and fear not nor grieve, for We shall restore him to you and shall include him among the Messengers."10 Consequently, Pharaoh's household picked him up (from the river) so that he may become their enema and cause of grief for them.11 Really, Pharaoh and Haman and their hosts were misguided (in their scheming). Pharaoh's wife said (to him), "He is a comfort of the eyes for me and for you! Do not kill him: maybe that he proves useful to us, or we may adopt him as a son."12 And they were unaware (of the ultimate result). On the other hand, the heart of Moses' mother was sorely distressed. She would have disclosed his secret, had We not strengthened her heart so that she might have faith (in Our promise). She said to his sister, "Follow him up." So, she watched him from a distance in a manner that (the enemies) did not notice it.”13 And We had already forbidden the breasts of the nurses for the child.14 (On seeing this) the girl said to them, "Shall I tell you of a house whose people will bring him up for you and look after him well?"15 Thus We restored Moses16 to his mother so that her eyes might be cooled and she might not grieve and she might know that Allah's promise was true.17 But most people do not know this.
