101. And indeed We gave to Musa (Moses) nine clear signs. Ask then the Children of Israel, when he came to them, then Firaun (Pharaoh) said to him: O Musa (Moses)! I think you are indeed bewitched. 102. [Musa (Moses)] said: Verily, you know that these signs have been sent down by none but the Lord of the heavens and the earth as clear (evidences i.e. proofs of Allahs Oneness and His Omnipotence, etc.). And I think you are, indeed, O Firaun (Pharaoh) doomed to destruction (away from all good)! 103. So he resolved to turn them out of the land (of Egypt). But We drowned him and all who were with him. 104. And We said to the Children of Israel after him: Dwell in the land, then, when the final and the last promise comes near [i.e. the Day of Resurrection or the descent of Christ [Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary) on the earth]. We shall bring you altogether as mixed crowd (gathered out of various nations).[Tafsir Al-Qurtubi, Vol. 10, Page 338] 105. And with truth We have sent it down (i.e. the Quran), and with truth it has descended. And We have sent you (O Muhammad ) as nothing but a bearer of glad tidings (of Paradise, for those who follow your Message of Islamic Monotheism), and a warner (of Hell- fire for those who refuse to follow your Message of Islamic Monotheism). 106. And (it is) a Quran which We have divided (into parts), in order that you might recite it to men at intervals. And We have revealed it by stages. (in 23 years). 107. Say (O Muhammad to them): Believe in it (the Quran) or do not believe (in it). Verily! Those who were given knowledge before it (the Jews and the Christians like Abdullah bin Salam and Salman Al-Farisi), when it is recited to them, fall down on their faces in humble prostration. 108. And they say: Glory be to our Lord! Truly, the Promise of our Lord must be fulfilled. 109. And they fall down on their faces weeping and it adds to their humility. 110. Say (O Muhammad ): Invoke Allah or invoke the Most Beneficent (Allah), by whatever name you invoke Him (it is the same), for to Him belong the Best Names. And offer your Salat (prayer) neither aloud nor in a low voice, but follow a way between. 111. And say: All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has not begotten a son (nor an offspring), and Who has no partner in (His) Dominion, nor He is low to have a Wali (helper, protector or supporter). And magnify Him with all the magnificence, [Allahu- Akbar (Allah is the Most Great)]. Quran 17: 101-111
