T. S. M. (Ta, Seen, Mim),

These (letters) constitute proofs of this clarifying scripture.

You may blame yourself that they are not believers.

If we will, we can send from the sky a sign that forces their necks to bow.

Whenever a reminder from the Most Gracious comes to them, that is new, they turn away in aversion.

Since they disbelieved, they have incurred the consequences of their heedlessness.

Have they not seen the earth, and how many kinds of beautiful plants we have grown thereon?

This should be a sufficient proof for them, but most of them are not believers.

Most assuredly, your Lord is the Almighty, Most Merciful.

Recall that your Lord called Moses: "Go to the transgressing people.

"Pharaoh's people; perhaps they reform."

He said, "My Lord, I fear lest they disbelieve me.

"I may lose my temper. My tongue gets tied; send for my brother Aaron.

"Also, they consider me a fugitive; I fear lest they kill me."

He said, "No, (they will not). Go with My proofs. We will be with you, listening.

"Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are messengers from the Lord of the universe.'

" 'Let the Children of Israel go.' "

He said, "Did we not raise you from infancy, and you spent many years with us?

"Then you committed the crime that you committed, and you were ungrateful."

He said, "Indeed, I did it when I was astray.

"Then I fled, when I feared you, and my Lord endowed me with wisdom and made me one of the messengers.

"You are boasting that you did me a favor, while enslaving the Children of Israel!"

Pharaoh said, "What is the Lord of the universe?"

He said, "The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them. You should be certain about this."

He said to those around him, "Did you hear this?"
