Open my breast for me; 25 “And make my task easy for me.” 26 “And untie the knot of my tongue.” 27 “In order that they may understand my speech.” 28 "And appoint for me a helper from my family, 29 Aaron, my brother. 30 Strengthen me through him, 31 And associate him (with me) in my affair, 32 so that we exalt You 33 And may make mention of Thee oft. 34 Lo! Thou art ever Seeing us. 35 [Allah] said, "You have been granted your request, O Moses. 36 We have again bestowed Our favour upon you. 37 Remember when We inspired your mother with a certain inspiration 38 Place him in a chest and throw it into the river, and thereupon the river will cast him ashore, [and] one who is an enemy unto Me and an enemy unto him will adopt him.
