Chapter 17 Night Journey :Translation and Interpretation


1- Glory (Glory is only to Allah, his actions are glorified whether we comprehend it, glorified or not)

Who took (walked and facilitated through)

His worshiper (Mohamed PBUH, true worshiper body, and soul)

by night (was not seen, became a matter of belief),

from the sacred mosque (Worship place, Kaaba at Mecca)

to the utmost mosque (similar far worship place, Aqsa Mosque at Al-Qds Jerusalem)

around which We blessed,

to show him of Our verses (signs, miracles, verses from nature)

He is (Allah) the hearer and the seeing. (It is a matter of belief, an unseen journey by unseen God)


2- And We brought unto Moses the book (Torah)

and We made it guidance to the children of Israel,

so they do not take other than Me (lesser than me) a guardian. (Partner, supporters)


3- Off-spring (The Children of Israel) are among those We carried with Noah (On the Ark with other believers), indeed he (Noah) was a thankful(always) worshiper.


4- And We decreed upon the children of Israel in the book (Torah)

that you would spoil in the earth twice,

and would rise to great haughtiness (worldly influence).


5- So when the first promise of them arrives,

We dispatched upon you, (Children of Israel)

worshipers of ours (devout only to me, Arabia Muslims), of keen tolerance (great might),

so they shall probe in between the homes (meticulously to weed out the spoilers), and it is a done promise.


6- Then We rebounded (bounced back) for you (Children of Israel)

predominance (supremacy, upper hand) upon them (Arabia Muslims).

And We supplied you with wealth and children,

and We made you more inducers. (Influencers, gaining power by lauding your voice, gaining more world support over them Arabia Muslims)


7- If you do good, you do good for yourselves,

and if you transgress (Allah’s boundaries) it's upon it

and when the second promise came (surely it will come, as the future is definite for Allah),

it will sadden your faces (your transgression will be exposed),

and they (Arabia Muslims) will re-enter the worship place (Temple – The Secret Mosque in Jerusalem)

as they entered the first time, (During the Caliphate Umar year 638)

and destroy (physically and stature) that haughtiness (what they ascended with aggression during the support of other nations)

with utter destruction.


8- Perhaps your God will have mercy on you,

But if you return (to transgression and disobeying)

We return (With more decrees).

and We made Gehinnom (hell, or valley of Hinnom as known to the Jews) for the disbelievers a matt. (Inescapable tight confining matt, that seals, restricts, and traps the dirt under it like the residence of hell, not as the Jews claim Hell is just a temporary maximum 12 months period for the shameful Jewish soul to cleanse and go to heaven).

Gehinnom - valley of Hinnom - is not mentioned In Torah.

in the Torah “Sheol” is the destination for sinners,

Torah offers no firm understanding of the hereafter, life after death, or heaven

and hell it’s described in vague terms).


9- This Quran guides to that which is most upright (Its commands is a straight path, helper, and savior for this life and the hereafter)

and foretell the believers who do good deeds that they will have great wages.

(Rewards by following Allah’s guiding verses-manual)


10- And those who do not believe in the hereafter

We prepared for them a painful (dire) torment.


11- And humans invoke evil (hateful, usually when angry) as invoking good (well-being),

and humans are hasty. (Be patient with Allah’s decrees)


12- And We made the night and day two signs (visual miracles),

We erased the night miracle (No sun, distinctive darkness)

and made the day miracle visible (Sun rays, clear light).

So, you may seek surplus from your God (Additional rewards by your effort over what Allah already gave you), and you might know the numbering of years and computation (The day sun cycle is the computation for the days, and the night moon cycle is the computation for the month, and the sum is numbers of years).

And everything (spiritually and physically) is separated with distinction.

(Made clearly classified, like day and night, e.g., Allah’s commands, prayers time, the cycle of the moon.)


13- And to every human, We attached his bird onto his neck (Deeds, so they cannot blame someone else), and will bring out to him on the day of resurrection a book,

Which he will find it widely published.

(Publicly in the open available to read and be inspected by all)


14- Read your book, enough today yourself is upon you a sufficient calculator.

( On Judgment day Human will lose willpower, so yourself will be a truthful witness and a just calculator of your good and bad deeds)


15- Whoever is guided, is guided for his own self, and whomever stray has strayed upon it (No impact to Allah, but the impact on the person himself and the society),

and no self-weight will be borne by other (Every self will carry its own burden only, no savior no ransom, no substitute),

and We would not punish until We send a messenger. (A messenger to alert and lay down Allah’s commands)


16- And if We want to perish a village,

We ordered its extravagant (Send our commands and allowed its lavish inhabitants, leaders, extremists)

So they transgress in it (disobey the commands).

So the true promise is justified. (commands come into effect to punish the transgressors)

So, We destroyed it destruction. (Utterly)

(An extravagant village is an unjust village, that will eventually perish, to set an example and reset the life cycle)


17- Much We perished of nations (tyrants) from after Noah,

and sufficient is your God of his worshiper’s sins,

knowing seeing. (It's sufficient for you that God knows the sins of his worshipers)


18- Whoever wants the hasty (this world immediate rewards)

We hasten for him in it of what We will,

to whomever we want. (speeded for him the rewards in this world only, and no saving for the hereafter that he disbelieves in).

Then We made (prepared) for him Gahanna (hellfire) to arrive it disgraceful rolled.

(Shoved rolled on his back to its backend & forgotten)


19- And whoever wanted the hereafter and sought (strived) to it

is sought while he believes (did what is commanded by Allah)

it’s those whose sought (attempts) were appreciated.


20- To each, We extend, to those (the worldly desires group)

and those (the hereafter rewards group) from your God’s grant,

and your God’s grant is not restricted. (Allah’s grant is for all whether they believe or not)


21- Look how We bestowed some above others (Human ranking some above others, In this world whether they believe or not),

and in the hereafter, there are greater ranks and greater bestowments.

(preferment, distinction)


22- Do not make with Allah another deity, so to stay (Collapse, remain) disgraced forsaken (letdown, abandoned to struggle alone).

23- Decreed your God

not to worship except him (IYAH, gender neutral),

and with your parent's (biological) kindness,

when they reach by you oldness (feebleness, old age)

one of them or both of them,

do not say to them Uph (sound of agitation)

and do not chide (scold) them

and say to them kind (generously courteous) saying.


24- And lower to them a humility wing of mercy (like a bird treating their newborn, do not be a high horse) and say God have mercy upon them

as they (biological and non-biological parents) have raised me little. (during childhood)


25- Your God is best knowing of what is in your selves

if you become righteous, (Parents and child, do not be a hypocrite),

He is to the atoners forgiving.


26- And bring to kinsperson (close relatives)

their just right,

and the poor,

and the son of the road (traveler, refugee, strayed),

and do not seed aimlessly. (do not squander or waste your seeds-assets-time, haphazardly where it does not righteously belong)


27- Surely the seeder were brothers of the devils (Clans in cause with the devil),

and Satan (first devil) was to his God ever disobedient.

(Satan disobeyed Allah, and he ever strives to recruit devil brothers/clans into his disobedient path)


28- And if you side from them (If a relative or a poor person, come to you and asks you for help and you do not have it, and you feel ashamed to face them)

seek mercy from your God

with anticipation (Seek God’s help, to help you, help them),

then say to them easing saying. (supporting wards, may God help you)


29- And do not make your hand shackled to your neck (like a miser),

nor extend it to its full extension (squander, hastily)

so you will drop (end up)

blameful (for being stingy)

strapped. (or insolvent for being a spendthrift).

(Best be moderate)


30- Indeed your God extends livelihood to whomever he wills (health, wealth, knowledge, beauty.),

and able (prorate, withhold livelihood).

He was to his worshippers All knowing All-seeing.


31- And do not kill your children out of fear of pauperism (out of future fear, of supporting them financially and physically)

We shall provide for them and to you,

indeed killing them was a considerable mistake. (Numerous mistakes in one)


32- And do not approach adultery, it is an ever vile obscenity

and an erroneous path.


33- And do not kill the soul that Allah forbid (to kill) except with just (cause),

and whoever was killed unjustly,

we made for his guardian authority (allowed retribution rights),

but not to exceed in killing (limit the guardian retribution to the criminal act)

so he can be supported.

(Guardian can be supported by Allah and believers)


34- And do not approach the orphan's property,

except with the best of interest,

until he reaches his strength (maturity),

and fulfill commitments,

indeed the commitment

is ever a responsibility

(will be questioned by Allah).


35- And be righteous in what you quantify

if you are measuring

and weight by the straight balance (accurate measurement method),

that is the best consequence.


36- And do not pursue

what you have no knowledge of

indeed the hearing, the sight

and the heart (intension, temperament, emotional acts)

all of those

you would be responsible for.


37- And do not walk on earth swaggering (haughty, loud proud, and arrogant),

you will not puncture the earth,

and will never reach the mountains in height.


38- All that (aforementioned 10 commandments),

its evil results at your God

is detested.


39- That is (the above commandments) from what your God had revealed to you of the wisdom,

and do not make with Allah another deity,

lest be thrown in Gahanna (valley of torment)

blamed (for disobeying Allah)

and banished. (from Allah’s mercy)


40- Has your God refined (selected, strained,) for you males and took females angels (Jews and polytheist Christians, claim angels are God's female daughters)

you (Jews and polytheist Christians)say a great saying.

(appalling that God discriminate among his creation, and also polytheists at that time degraded females)


41 - We have dispensed in this Quran so they may remember (to each human directly by examples and explained in various ways the Oneness of Allah and his path,

e.g., scientific way for scientists' minds, mathematical way, logical way, Jewish way, Christian way, spiritual way, innate way, etc),

but it does not increase them, except in grunt.

(Aversion, Instead of remembering and returning to the right path, they snort and became more disgusted and repulsed).


42 - Say “If there had been with Him (Allah) other deities, as they say,

they (other deities) would have perused a way to the throne".


43- Glorified and exalted, high atop what they say, by great (unequivocal, infinite) height.

(Up and above their grasp and what they say, and everything is beneath Allah)


44- Praise to Him the seven heavens and the earth and what is within them,

and there is nothing but praises by his gratitude,

but you do not comprehend their praises He was forbearing and forgiving.

(e.g., the seeds praises Allah by growing plants,

the sun by shining the fire by burning, dogs bark, etc. as they are obedient and has no free choice like humans.

Even the parts of the disbeliever Human and his limbs e.g., hands, legs praise and obey Allah by functioning as created, but disbeliever Human free will is that of the infidel, and these parts remain subject to the will of their owner until these parts renounce this will on the Day of Resurrection,

so these parts will testify against him for what he did and for what he forced them to do of disobedience to God.)


45- And when you (believer and prophet) read the Quran,

we put between you and those who do not believe in the hereafter a concealed veil.

Persistent on not believing in the Hereafter will veil the non-believer from the Quran’s wisdom,

Meanwhile, The Quran will also veil the believer from the non-believer's misguidance.


46- We made on their hearts coverings (layers resulted from non-believing) not to perceive it (Quran wisdom)

and in their ears heaviness,

and when you mention your God alone in the Quran,

they repel on their back in aversion

(Nonbelievers of the hereafter are content only with this life, they rebuff themselves from the afterlife truth

in the Quran,

that their hearts reflux from self-turmoil and fear of the mention of the hereafter,

and that they have to answer to anyone, nevertheless A One God)



47- We know best by what they hear with,

as they listening to you (In a state of amazement at the eloquence of the Quran)

and they secretly whisperer,

as the evildoers (wicked, polytheists)

say, “you are following nothing but a bewitched man”.

(As they cannot challenge the Quran, they accuse the messenger, of being a bewitched crazy man who is human and has lungs and breath like us)


48- Look how they strike similarities (feeble arguments and examples, you are crazy, bewitched, poet, priest, magician, etc.,)

that they all went astray,

so they cannot find the path. (Cannot convince others from following you with their arguments,

nor they can find the way back to God's path).


49- And they say (The disbeliever in the hereafter)

and when we were bones and remain (dead corps debris, dust, fragments),

shall we be resurrected as a new creation? (in challenge and denial mode),


50- Say become stones or iron. (Even if your corps turns into iron)


51- Or a creation of which enlarge in your chest (whatever feeds your egoistic heart desires eg. If they think they will reincarnate),

then they will say “Who will restore us?”

say “Who initiated you the first time”,

they will shrug their heads to you (To Mohamed, in sarcasm and mockery)

and say “ When will that be?” (Still in mockery)

say “Hopefully will be near (No one knows when Resurrection day except Allah, but definitely coming)”


52- The day He calls you (To judgment)

you will respond (rise from death)

parsing Him (Resurrection day all has no will but to praise Allah )

and you will think

that you stayed but a little. (in the worldly life)


53- And say to my worshipers

to say which is best, (utmost good between them and even among the disbelievers),

for Satan prod among them, (nudge and provoke to create sachem doubts, and conflict among the disbelievers to keep them away from Allah’s path)

indeed Satan is for humans a clear enemy.


54- Your God knows you best, (Even more than you know yourself, He knows who will choose to believe and who will choose not to believe)

if He wills,

He will have mercy upon you (by pointing to the responsive nonbeliever the way to the right path ),

and if He wills will torment you (leave the nonbeliever on his current wrong path he chose),

and We have not sent you (Mohamed) upon them as an agent.

(Not responsible for their belief, you are a messenger, not their representative).


55- And your God knows best of whoever in the heavens and earth,

and We have favored some prophets over others (E.g. saved Ibrahim, spoke to Moses, Jesus from mother only, gave Soliman powers, sent Mohamed as a mercy to all)

and We brought David the Zabour (Psalms prayer is a God praise book.

David’s favor was the Prophet's ship and Psalm book, over kingship)



56- Say

Call to whom you claimed that is lower (You Polytheist Invoke to whom You claim As Gods

which they are beneath Allah e.g., idols, Jesus, Ezra, Uzza, angels,),

they do not possess the removal of adversity from you

or to divert it


57- Those whom you call,

also seek to their God a way

who is closer

and they hope for His mercy

and fear His torment,

indeed your God's torment is to beware of. (The Gods you Polytheist invoke. They seek God’s mercy, and they are his servants and even nearer to him than you)


58- And there is not a village (If not reformed to follow Allah’s path)

but We will eradicate it before the day of resurrection (e.g. Sodom and Gomorrah)

or torment it with intense torment,

that was in the book underlined. (Inscribed)


59- And We did not prevent the sending of signs, (visible physical miracles)

but was lying about it by the beginners (was denied by even who saw them from long ago),

and We brought Thamud the she-camel visible (clear evidence to open their eyes),

they abused it, (they still disobeyed Allah and slaughtered it)

and We do not send signs, but to frighten. (As a warning)


60- And as We told you (Mohamed),

that your God encompassed people (not to worry, all mankind believers and non-believers in his grip),

and We did not make the vision (The night journey miracle)

which We showed you,

but a trial (to distinguish between believers and non-believers)

and the cursed tree in the Quran (Another believes trial, as how a tree grows in hell fire, that burns all),

and We frighten them, (With more miracles)

but it does not increase them

but great transgression. (disobedient)


61- And when We said to the angels “prostrate to Adam”,

they prostrated,

except for Iblees (Satan who was among the angels, though he is a free-will Jinn),

said ( Satan in arrogance and disobedient)

“I prostrate to whom you created from mud”.(Iblees-Satan is racist)


62- Said (Satan) I will show You,

this that you honored above me (Adam the new clay creation)

if you delayed me to resurrection day (my sentence to hellfire for disobeying you),

I will bridle his offspring except a few. (Eliminate his offspring obedience and control them like a horse, and misguide them astray from your path)


63- Said (Allah) go

whoever followed you from them,

then hell will be your recompense,

with ample retribution. (with ample Place in hell saved with abundance torment for you and them).


64- And cut off whomever you can among them with your voice (deceiving voice and whisper)

and yell onto them with your horses (come onto them forcefully with a call like a war shout, and a sudden assault to disrupt, confuse and scare them)

and on foot (infantry, ongoing nonstop assault),

and partnership in their wealth (To make sure they allocate it away from God's path)

and children (spoil their offspring, and keep them away from God's path)

and promises them,

But Satan promises them nothing but arrogance (Embellish falsehood in the image of truth, vanity, lies)


65- As for My worshipers you have no authority over them,

and your god is a sufficient agent (guardian, supporter)


66- Your God is who flows the ship in the sea,

that you may seek from his bounty,

He was ever merciful with you.


67- And when touched by harm at sea (serious imminent adversity),

go astray whom you call upon except Him (vanish whom you pray to and call gods or saviors beside Allah, as at real danger real true self appears and plead to the true one God),

when He (Allah) saved them to out (from adversity),

they sided (turns sideways on themselves away from God, and go back to their fake Gods and forget of Allah’s help),

and humans were blasphemous (in their nature to be ungrateful and forgetful, except the poise believers who have God in mind all the time)


68- Have you believed secure that could not collapse this side out (destroy the current safe side you’re in now Like happen to Harron),

or send upon you pebble storm (like People of Lut),

then you will not find for yourself a guardian.


69- Or have you believed secure that He does not return you in it other time (again to adversity),

and send upon you bombardment from wind to drown you by what you disbelieved,

then you will not find upon Us with it (this avenging torments)

a follower (Avenger, savior, or protector).


70- And We have honored the children of Adam (Allah created Adam with his own hands

and breathed in him his spirit, while creating the universe with the word “Be”,

also made Adam and his offspring learning, speaking, understanding, free will creation with minds, and distinction to know right from wrong,

sent guidance to the children of Adam in the form of prophets and holy books,

made them a viceroy on Earth and commanded the angel to respect Adam etc...)

and carried them in land and sea, and provided them with goods (supported the children of Adam by setting all suitable living environments to serve them)

and preferred them above many we have created (Over matter, animals, plants, angels, Jinn )

with mush preferences.


71- The day We call all the people by their Imam (Messengers/prophet, that informed and guided them to Allah),

whoever is given his book by his right, those will read their book (Good news they hurry to read it) and will not be wronged a filament. (A thin thread layer in a date kernel)


72- And whoever was in this (Earthly life) blind (denier of Allah’s sign and path),

then he is blind in the hereafter and more astray from the path. (More blind and stray, as in the hereafter there is no chance to repent,)


73- And they (disbelievers) approached you (Mohamed) to tempt you

from that we revealed to you (Quran)

to make up against Us (in our name) other than it (Alter the Quran),

and then they would have taken you a friend. (A close companion, buddy)


74- And if We had not stabilized you (firmed you from swaying towards their deceptions)

you almost inclined to them something little. (leaned a little with hopes to guide them)


75- Then (If you had leaned to them a little)

We (Allah) would have made you taste double the life and double the death

then you would not find for yourself on Us a partisan. (If leaned, then you are an allay to the disbelievers, and, also you cannot use that altered text to guide and fend for yourself from Allah's torment)


76- And they nearly chased you away from the land (Mecca) to depart from it (when you Mohamed did not lean to the disbeliever’s deception to alter the Quran),

then they would not remain behind you but a little. (they would have perished If they had succeeded in chasing Mohamed away and continuing their blasphemous practices)


77- It’s the way for those We sent before you of our messengers (That if the messenger was expelled by his people, Allah would torment the expelling disbelievers shortly afterward, e.g. people of Ibrahim and Lut, Moses and Pharoses),

and you will not find to Our way a deviation. (No breach or change to Allah’s way)


78- Establish prayer (Maintain connection with Allah at all times, not only by performing prayers at its times)

through the inclining sun to the darkness of night (from noon till sunset, at its allocated periods, starting from the declination of the sun from its peak at the center through shifting periods down the sky west till its vanishing sunset)

and The Quran of the dawn (Dawn prayer) is witnessed.

(You’re not alone, it’s a peaceful vouched for time watched by angels, so best wakeup and pray)


79- And from the night oust with it (Give up part of the night sleep to pray and read the “Quran”)

dignity for you (Additional virtue for you Mohamed)

hopefully (if you can keep up) your God will resurrect you in a praised spot. (On judgment day)


80- And say “My God make me enter in truth (when Mohamed migrated from Mecca, and enter Medina with truth, his message of Quran)

and let me leave a truthful exit

and make to me

from you a triumphant authority.

81- And say “ The truth has come (Quran) and the falsehood banished,

for falsehood is a vanishing. (Falsehood by nature vanishes when the truth arrives)


82- And We send down from The Quran that which is healing and mercy for the believers

(Comfort, offers mercy, and heals the believers from the burden of

falsehood, moral and physical diseases, clear their faculties, cure what is in their soul of confusion, malice, anxiety, ignorance, misconception, and other spiritual and material diseases,

thus increasing their faith for a better life and hereafter. God willing)

and it does not increase the wrongdoers but loss (Wrongdoers view The Quran with falsehood, corrupt their faculties that will lead to the further ailment of their soul and more loss by missing God’s mercy)


83- And when We bestow Our grace on a human

he sides (He then turns sideways) and distant to his side (depart further from our path),

and when is touched by evil

he is in despair. (Despairs as he had turned away from God's mercy to falsehood,

and has no faith and no one to call upon in distress)


84- Say “Each work upon his image (Their inner Image and deposition he formed and shaped, It's a praise to the true believers and an insult to the unbeliever. This means humans work in line with their likes of moral ways that they developed, as some will thank God for his grace and others will turn away)

your God most knowing of who is on the best-guided path. (do not be so judgmental, as only Allah is the best judge, as He can see the full picture of the person’s hidden inner image)


85- And they (Jews and the disbelievers) ask you about the spirit

say” The spirit is of my God’s command” (Is an affair that only God knows, that also agrees with the Jewish scriptures, which asked this tricky question)

and you (humans) did not receive of knowledge except a little.


86- And if We willed

We could have let go of what We reveal to you (Erase the Quran),

then you (Mohamed and humans) will not find for yourself with it (The Quran),

upon Us as an agent. (Allah’s commands in the Quran are the parameters of judgment, on judgment day).


87- Except for mercy from your God (otherwise you will completely depend on Allah’s mercy on judgment day), indeed His favor is great. (Upon Mohamed by revealing the Quran through him and preserving it to be guidance and support for judgment day)


88- Say (Declare publicly, challenging all, especially Arabs at that time, when poetry was their profession, pride, and a valuable commodity)

“If humans and Jinn (Believed at that time that gunnies humans especially Arab poets depended sometimes on Jinn for inspirations)

met (joined forces) in order to bring the like (not even the same) of this Quran,

they will not bring the like,

even if some of them were to other backers.

(Assistants, so if some have deficiency others will fill it)


89- And We have conveyed to the people in this Quran from every similitude (multiple examples in diversified styles, ways, themes, to address and reach multiple subjects, cultures, temperaments, classes of people, and time periods)

yet did not accept most people, except to disbelief.


90- And they (people of mecca) said “We will not believe to you,

until you gush to us from the ground a fountain”


91- Or that will be to you a garden of palms and grapes, then you gush rivers through them gushingly.)


92- Or you drop, as you had alleged, the sky on us in fragments (pieces from dark eclipsed sky as you promised will happen on judgment day, so hasten that in this world),

or bring Allah and the angels before us (To meet them face to face)


93- Or would be to you a house of embossing (embossed with ornaments, gold, and jewels)

or you ascend into the sky,

and we will not believe in your accession

until you bring down onto us a book we can read (they realized that ascending into the sky is something they cannot verify, so they needed proof)

say” Glory to my God was I not except a human messenger.

(By God, I am just a human messenger)


94- And nothing prevented people from believing,

when the guidance came to them,

except that they said “has God sent a human messenger” (Just being argumentative regarding Mohamed being human).


95-Say “if there were in the earth angels walking reassured

We would have brought down on them from the heavens an angel messenger”.


96- Say” sufficient is Allah a witness between me and you,

He is with His worshipers well knowing seeing.


97- And whomever Allah guides He is guided (to the One True Path),

and whomever stray

you would not find to them custodians without Him (Misguidance and stray have no One Path, they have multiple conflicting paths, ways, approaches, and sects each following their own desire of misguidance)

and We will cram them on the day of resurrection on their faces blind and dumb and deaf,

their fate is hell,

every time it dwindles, we increased them blaze.


98- That is your recompense as they disbelieved Our signs,

and said “and if we become bones and remains, we will be resurrected a new creation.


99- Do not they see that Allah who created the heavens and earth is able to create the like of them?

and He made to them a deferral no doubt in it (Judgment day is differed to the end of human life, where he gets a chance to do good deeds and be tested during his life)

yet refused the wrongdoers but to disbelieve.


100- Say “if you own the treasure coffer of my God’s mercy,

then you will hold out of fear of it sapping (running out, depleting)

and humans are ever-tight. (stingy, even on oneself of fear of poverty, and even if he had owned God’s everlasting mercy)


101- And We brought Moses nine clear signs (To Pharaoh and his people,),

so ask the children of Israel, as it came to them (The story down from their ancestors),

so said pharaoh to him, I suspect O Moses that you are bewitched.


102- Said (Moses) you (Pharaoh) know that none sent down these (nine clear signs) but God of the heavens and earth eye-opening (proof to support Moses claim),

and I suspect O Pharaoh you are doomed.
