Surah 20. Ta-ha, Ayah 64
| فَأَجْمِعُوا كَيْدَكُمْ ثُمَّ ائْتُوا صَفًّا ۚ وَقَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْيَوْمَ مَنِ اسْتَعْلَىٰ |
| Transliteration | : | fa- ajmico kayd -kum thumma i'to s.aff(an) wa- qad aflah.a al- yawm man istaclaa |
| Pickthall | : | So arrange your plan, and come in battle line. Whoso is uppermost this day will be indeed successful. |
| Asad | : | Hence, [O sorcerers of Egypt,] decide upon the scheme which you will pursue, and then come forward in one single body:46 for, indeed, he who prevails today shall prosper indeed!"47 |
| Malik | : | Therefore, muster up all devices and face them with a united front." Finally when the day of confrontation came, Fir'on said: " Whoever comes out victorious this day shall prevail." |
| Yusuf Ali | : | "Therefore concert your plan. And then assemble in (serried) ranks: he wins (all along) today who gains the upper hand." 2588 |
Note - 46Lit., "in one [single] line", i.e., in unison.
|
Note - 47Cf. {7: 113-114}.
|
Note - 2588Presumably Pharaoh was in this secret conference, and he
promises the most lavish rewards to the magicians if they
overcome Moses. See vii. 114. That-but I think more than
that-is implied. That day was to be the crisis: if they
won then, they would win all along, and Moses and his
people would be crushed.
