Open my breast for me; 25 And ease my task for me; 26 And loose a knot from my tongue. 27 so that they may understand my speech, 28 Appoint a deputy (for me) from my own people. 29 Aaron, my brother. 30 By him confirm my strength 31 And associate him (with me) in my affair, 32 So that we should glorify Thee much, 33 and may remember You much. 34 Lo! Thou art ever Seeing us. 35 (Allah) said: "Granted is thy prayer, O Moses!" 36 And certainly We bestowed on you a favor at another time; 37 When We told your mother what We relate: 38 “That, ‘Put him into a chest and cast it into the river, so the river shall deposit it on to a shore – therefore one who is an enemy to Me and you, shall pick him up’; and I bestowed upon you love from Myself; and for you to be brought up in My sight.” 39 Your sister went (to them) and said: 'Shall I guide you to one who will nurse him' And so We restored you to your mother, so that her eyes might rejoice and that she might not sorrow.
