7.151 - He (Musa) said: My Lord! Forgive me and my brother and admit us into Your mercy, and You are the most Merciful of the merciful. 7.152 - Indeed, those who took the calf will receive anger from their Lord and disgrace in the life of this world. And thus do We reward the forgers. 7.153 - And those who have done bad deeds, then repented after that and believed, indeed your Lord, thereafter, is Forgiving, Merciful. 7.154 - And when the anger subsided from Musa, he took the tablets, and in its writing was guidance and mercy for those who are fearful of their Lord. 7.155 - And Musa chose from his people seventy men for Our appointment. And when the earthquake seized them, he said: My Lord! If You had willed, You could have destroyed them before and myself. Would You destroy us for what the foolish among us have done? This is not except Your trial by which You misguide whom You will and guide whom You will. You are our Guardian, so forgive us and grant us mercy; and You are the best of the forgivers. 7.156 - And decree for us in this world good and in the hereafter; indeed, we have turned back to You. He (Allah) said: My torture, I will strike with it whom I will, and My mercy encompasses everything; so I will decree it for those who fear and pay Zakat (alms), and those who believe in Our signs. 7.157 - Those who follow the messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written in what they have of the Taurat and the Injeel, who enjoins them with what is lawful and forbids them what is evil and makes lawful for them the good and prohibits for them the bad and relieves them from their burden and the shackles which were upon them. And those who have believed in him and honoured him and supported him and followed the light which has been sent down with him, it is those who are the successful. 7.158 - Say: O people! Indeed, I am the messenger of Allah to you all, the One to Whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, there is no god except He; He gives life and causes death, so believe in Allah and His messenger, the unlettered prophet who believes in Allah and His words, and follow him that you may be guided. 7.159 - And among the people of Musa is a nation who guides with the truth, and they establish justice thereby. 7.160 - And We divided them into twelve descended tribes. And We revealed to Musa when his people implored him for water, (saying): Strike the rock with your staff, so gushed forth therefrom twelve springs; each tribe knew its drinking place; and We shaded them with clouds, and We sent to them manna and quails (saying): Eat from the good of what We have provided you. And they did not do Us injustice, but they did injustice to themselves.
