[Quran Chapter 20] 25. He said, "My Lord, put my heart at peace for me. 26. And ease my task for me. 27. And untie the knot from my tongue. 28. So they can understand my speech. 29. And appoint an assistant for me, from my family. 30. Aaron, my brother. 31. Strengthen me with him. 32. And have him share in my mission. 33. That we may glorify You much. 34. And remember You much. 35. You are always watching over us." 36. He said, "You are granted your request, O Moses. 37. We had favored you another time. 38. When We inspired your mother with the inspiration. 39. `Put him in the chest; then cast him into the river. The river will wash him to shore, where an enemy of Mine and an enemy of his will pick him up. And I have bestowed upon you love from Me, so that you may be reared before My eye. 40. When your sister walked along, and said, 'Shall I tell you about someone who will take care of him?' So We returned you to your mother, that she may be comforted, and not sorrow. And you killed a person, but We saved you from stress; and We tested you thoroughly. And you stayed years among the people of Median. Then you came back, as ordained, O Moses. 41. And I made you for Myself. 42. Go, you and your brother, with My signs, and do not neglect My remembrance. 43. Go to Pharaoh. He has tyrannized. 44. But speak to him nicely. Perhaps he will remember, or have some fear." 45. They said, "Lord, we fear he may persecute us, or become violent." 46. He said, "Do not fear, I am with you, I hear and I see. 47. Approach him and say, `We are the messengers of your Lord; so let the Children of Israel go with us, and do not torment them. We bring you a sign from your Lord, and peace be upon him who follows guidance. 48. It was revealed to us that the punishment falls upon him who disbelieves and turns away.'" 49. He said, "Who is your Lord, O Moses." 50. He said, "Our Lord is He who gave everything its existence, then guided it." 51. He said, "What about the first generations?" 52. He said, "Knowledge thereof is with my Lord, in a Book. My Lord never errs, nor does He forget." 53. He who made the earth a habitat for you; and traced in it routes for you; and sent down water from the sky, with which We produce pairs of diverse plants. 54. Eat and pasture your livestock. In that are signs for those with understanding.
