Sura 20 T.H. (Taa Haa)

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

[20:1] T. H.

[20:2] We did not bring the Quran down upon you to cause you misery.

[20:3] It is but a Reminder for those who fear.

[20:4] A revelation from the One who created the earth and the high heavens.

[20:5] The Almighty: He settled on the Throne.

[20:6] To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is in the earth and what is in between them, and what is beneath the soil.

[20:7] Regardless of you speaking out loudly, He knows the secrets as well as what is most hidden.

[20:8] God, there is no god except Him. To Him belong the Beautiful Names.

[20:9] Has the story of Moses reached you?

[20:10] When he saw a fire, he said to his family, "Wait here, I have come across a fire. Perhaps I could bring you a burning ember or find at the fire some guidance."

[20:11] Then when he reached it, he was called, "O, Moses,

[20:12] I am your Lord, so remove your sandals. You are in the holy valley Tuwa.

[20:13] I have chosen you, so listen to what is being inspired.

[20:14] I am God. There is no god except Me. So worship Me, and observe the Salat to commemorate Me.

[20:15] The Hour is surely coming. I will keep it almost hidden so that every self is repaid for what it strives.

[20:16] So let not the one who does not believe in it and who followed his personal desire make you disregard it, for then you would fall.

[20:17] What is that in your right hand, O Moses?"

[20:18] He said, "It is my staff. I lean on it, herd my sheep with it, and I have other uses for it."
