The Holy Quran 7:105 — Surah Al-A'raf

Arabic text

حَقِيقٌ عَلَىٰٓ أَن لَّآ أَقُولَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلْحَقَّ ۚ قَدْ جِئْتُكُم بِبَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ فَأَرْسِلْ مَعِىَ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

Translation

"It is only right that I attribute the truth only to Allaah. I have come to you with a clear sign (miracle) from your Rabb (to prove that I am His messenger), so send the Bani Israa'eel with me (after releasing them from forced labour and slavery)."
