أَلَّا تَتَّبِعَنِۖ أَفَعَصَيۡتَ أَمۡرِي 93

93        (What prevented you) from not following me? Have you then disobeyed my order? (i.e. don’t follow the Path of the evil-doers as in Surah Al-Araf:142).

قَالَ يَبۡنَؤُمَّ لَا تَأۡخُذۡ بِلِحۡيَتِي وَلَا بِرَأۡسِيٓۖ إِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَن تَقُولَ فَرَّقۡتَ بَيۡنَ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ وَلَمۡ تَرۡقُبۡ قَوۡلِي 94

94        Harun ( peace be upon him )  said: “O son of my mother! (Please) don’t catch me by my beard, or by my head. (Please listen to my excuse). I, indeed, feared lest you should say: ‘You have divided the Children of Israel into groups and you did not wait for my instructions.’”

قَالَ فَمَا خَطۡبُكَ يَٰسَٰمِرِيُّ 95

95        Musa ( peace be upon him )  said: “O Samiri! So what is the matter with you (i.e.what made you do so)?”

قَالَ بَصُرۡتُ بِمَا لَمۡ يَبۡصُرُواْ بِهِۦ فَقَبَضۡتُ قَبۡضَةٗ مِّنۡ أَثَرِ ٱلرَّسُولِ فَنَبَذۡتُهَا وَكَذَٰلِكَ سَوَّلَتۡ لِي نَفۡسِي 96

96        Samiri said: “I saw what they did not see. So I took a handful (of dust) from the footprint of messenger (i.e. Jibrael’s ( peace be upon him )  horse) and threw it (into the Fire). I just felt like doing this.”

قَالَ فَٱذۡهَبۡ فَإِنَّ لَكَ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ أَن تَقُولَ لَا مِسَاسَۖ وَإِنَّ لَكَ مَوۡعِدٗا لَّن تُخۡلَفَهُۥۖ وَٱنظُرۡ إِلَىٰٓ إِلَٰهِكَ ٱلَّذِي ظَلۡتَ عَلَيۡهِ عَاكِفٗاۖ لَّنُحَرِّقَنَّهُۥ ثُمَّ لَنَنسِفَنَّهُۥ فِي ٱلۡيَمِّ نَسۡفًا 97

97        Musa ( peace be upon him )  said: “So (you) go away. Indeed, your punishment in this life will be that you will say (to anybody you come across): “Don’t touch me” (by touching both will get high fever. Hence, he lived in the forest with animals for the rest of his life). And there is another promise for you which will definitely be fulfilled (i.e. punishment in the Hereafter). And look at your god which you worshipped with great devotion. We will definitely burn it and scatter its particles in the river.”

إِنَّمَآ إِلَٰهُكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ وَسِعَ كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ عِلۡمٗا 98

98        Indeed, your God is only Allah. None has the right to be worshipped except Him. His knowledge encom-passes everything.

كَذَٰلِكَ نَقُصُّ عَلَيۡكَ مِنۡ أَنۢبَآءِ مَا قَدۡ سَبَقَۚ وَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَٰكَ مِن لَّدُنَّا ذِكۡرٗا 99

99        Thus We describe to you [Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)] from the news of the past events (so that it adds to the proofs of your Prophethood). And, indeed, We have given you from Us a Reminder (i.e. the Quran which is itself a proof of your Prophethood).

مَّنۡ أَعۡرَضَ عَنۡهُ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَحۡمِلُ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ وِزۡرًا 100

100        Whoever turns away from it (the Quran), they will carry a big burden (of sins) on the Day of Judgement.

خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهِۖ وَسَآءَ لَهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ حِمۡلٗا 101

101        They will reside in that (state) forever. And it will be an evil burden for them on the Day of Judgement.

يَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِي ٱلصُّورِۚ وَنَحۡشُرُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ يَوۡمَئِذٖ زُرۡقٗا 102

102        The Day when (the second) Trumpet will be blown (everything will come to life again), We shall gather the criminals with blue eyes (due to thirst and terror as in Tafsir Qurtubi).

يَتَخَٰفَتُونَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ إِن لَّبِثۡتُمۡ إِلَّا عَشۡرٗا 103

103        (They will be extremely terrified) And they will be saying to each other in a very low voice (saying): “You stayed (in the world or in the graves) not more than ten (days).”

نَّحۡنُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ إِذۡ يَقُولُ أَمۡثَلُهُمۡ طَرِيقَةً إِن لَّبِثۡتُمۡ إِلَّا يَوۡمٗا 104

104        We know very well what they will say (about the period) when the better among them in wisdom will say: “You stayed no longer than a day!” (Also Surah Ar-Rum:55)

وَيَسۡ‍َٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلۡجِبَالِ فَقُلۡ يَنسِفُهَا رَبِّي نَسۡفٗا 105

105        And they ask you concerning the mountains, say: “My Creator will break them into tiny particles (on the Day of Judgement) and scatter them (as particles). 

فَيَذَرُهَا قَاعٗا صَفۡصَفٗا 106

106        “And He shall make earth a levelled clear plain.

لَّا تَرَىٰ فِيهَا عِوَجٗا وَلَآ أَمۡتٗا 107

107        “You will see nothing crooked in it or with ups and downs.”

يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَتَّبِعُونَ ٱلدَّاعِيَ لَا عِوَجَ لَهُۥۖ وَخَشَعَتِ ٱلۡأَصۡوَاتُ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ فَلَا تَسۡمَعُ إِلَّا هَمۡسٗا 108

108        On that Day people will follow (Allah’s) caller and they shall not show any disobedience to the calling angel. (Out of terror) all the voices will be humbled for the Most Gracious (Allah) and you shall hear nothing except very low sound of their footsteps (or slight whispering).

يَوۡمَئِذٖ لَّا تَنفَعُ ٱلشَّفَٰعَةُ إِلَّا مَنۡ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَرَضِيَ لَهُۥ قَوۡلٗا 109

109        On that Day no intercessions shall benefit except the one for whom the Most Gracious (Allah) has granted permission and approved his wording.

يَعۡلَمُ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِهِۦ عِلۡمٗا 110

110        Allah knows what they do (in this world) and what will happen to them (in the Hereafter) and none can encompass anything of His Knowledge.

۞وَعَنَتِ ٱلۡوُجُوهُ لِلۡحَيِّ ٱلۡقَيُّومِۖ وَقَدۡ خَابَ مَنۡ حَمَلَ ظُلۡمٗا 111

111        And (all) faces shall be humbled before the Ever Living; the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. And he who carried a burden of wrong-doings will perish (on that Day).

وَمَن يَعۡمَلۡ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَهُوَ مُؤۡمِنٞ فَلَا يَخَافُ ظُلۡمٗا وَلَا هَضۡمٗا 112

112        And he who does good deeds while he is a believer, so he will have no fear of injustice nor of depriving him of his reward.
