تِلۡكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ٱلۡمُبِينِ﴿2﴾

These are the verses of the clear Book

26:3

لَعَلَّكَ بَٰخِعٞ نَّفۡسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ﴿3﴾

Perhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers

26:4

إِن نَّشَأۡ نُنَزِّلۡ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةٗ فَظَلَّتۡ أَعۡنَٰقُهُمۡ لَهَا خَٰضِعِينَ﴿4﴾

If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled

26:5

وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن ذِكۡرٖ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ مُحۡدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ عَنۡهُ مُعۡرِضِينَ﴿5﴾

And no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it

26:6

فَقَدۡ كَذَّبُواْ فَسَيَأۡتِيهِمۡ أَنۢبَـٰٓؤُاْ مَا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ﴿6﴾

For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule

26:7

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَمۡ أَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجٖ كَرِيمٍ﴿7﴾

Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind

26:8

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ﴿8﴾

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers

26:9

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ﴿9﴾

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful

26:10

وَإِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئۡتِ ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ﴿10﴾

And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people

26:11

قَوۡمَ فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ﴿11﴾

The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allah

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ﴿12﴾

He said, "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me

وَيَضِيقُ صَدۡرِي وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِي فَأَرۡسِلۡ إِلَىٰ هَٰرُونَ﴿13﴾

And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron

وَلَهُمۡ عَلَيَّ ذَنۢبٞ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقۡتُلُونِ﴿14﴾

And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me

26:15

قَالَ كَلَّاۖ فَٱذۡهَبَا بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسۡتَمِعُونَ﴿15﴾

[Allah] said, "No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening

26:16

فَأۡتِيَا فِرۡعَوۡنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿16﴾

Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds

26:17

أَنۡ أَرۡسِلۡ مَعَنَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَـٰٓءِيلَ﴿17﴾

[Commanded to say], "Send with us the Children of Israel

26:18

قَالَ أَلَمۡ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدٗا وَلَبِثۡتَ فِينَا مِنۡ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ﴿18﴾

[Pharaoh] said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life

26:19

وَفَعَلۡتَ فَعۡلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِي فَعَلۡتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ﴿19﴾

And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful

26:20

قَالَ فَعَلۡتُهَآ إِذٗا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ﴿20﴾

[Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray

26:21

فَفَرَرۡتُ مِنكُمۡ لَمَّا خِفۡتُكُمۡ فَوَهَبَ لِي رَبِّي حُكۡمٗا وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ﴿21﴾

So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me wisdom and prophethood and appointed me [as one] of the messengers

26:22

وَتِلۡكَ نِعۡمَةٞ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَيَّ أَنۡ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَـٰٓءِيلَ﴿22﴾

And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel

26:23

قَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿23﴾

Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds

26:24

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ﴿24﴾

[Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced

26:25

قَالَ لِمَنۡ حَوۡلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسۡتَمِعُونَ﴿25﴾

[Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear

26:26

قَالَ رَبُّكُمۡ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ﴿26﴾

[Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers

26:27

قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِيٓ أُرۡسِلَ إِلَيۡكُمۡ لَمَجۡنُونٞ﴿27﴾

[Pharaoh] said, "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad

26:28

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقِ وَٱلۡمَغۡرِبِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآۖ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ﴿28﴾

[Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason

26:29

قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذۡتَ إِلَٰهًا غَيۡرِي لَأَجۡعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمَسۡجُونِينَ﴿29﴾

[Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned

26:30

قَالَ أَوَلَوۡ جِئۡتُكَ بِشَيۡءٖ مُّبِينٖ﴿30﴾

[Moses] said, "Even if I brought you proof manifest

26:31

قَالَ فَأۡتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ﴿31﴾

[Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful

26:32

فَأَلۡقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ ثُعۡبَانٞ مُّبِينٞ﴿32﴾

So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest

26:33

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِيَ بَيۡضَآءُ لِلنَّـٰظِرِينَ﴿33﴾

And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers

26:34

قَالَ لِلۡمَلَإِ حَوۡلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٞ﴿34﴾

[Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician

26:35

يُرِيدُ أَن يُخۡرِجَكُم مِّنۡ أَرۡضِكُم بِسِحۡرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأۡمُرُونَ﴿35﴾

He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise

26:36

قَالُوٓاْ أَرۡجِهۡ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبۡعَثۡ فِي ٱلۡمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ﴿36﴾

They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers

26:37

يَأۡتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٖ﴿37﴾

Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician

26:38

فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَٰتِ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ﴿38﴾

So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day

26:39

وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّجۡتَمِعُونَ﴿39﴾

And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate

26:40

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ﴿40﴾

That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant

26:41

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُواْ لِفِرۡعَوۡنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجۡرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ﴿41﴾

And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant

26:42

قَالَ نَعَمۡ وَإِنَّكُمۡ إِذٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِينَ﴿42﴾

He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]

26:43

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلۡقُواْ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلۡقُونَ﴿43﴾

Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw

26:44

فَأَلۡقَوۡاْ حِبَالَهُمۡ وَعِصِيَّهُمۡ وَقَالُواْ بِعِزَّةِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ﴿44﴾

So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant

26:45

فَأَلۡقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلۡقَفُ مَا يَأۡفِكُونَ﴿45﴾

Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified

26:46

فَأُلۡقِيَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَٰجِدِينَ﴿46﴾

So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah]

26:47

قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿47﴾

They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds

26:48

رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ﴿48﴾

The Lord of Moses and Aaron

26:49

قَالَ ءَامَنتُمۡ لَهُۥ قَبۡلَ أَنۡ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحۡرَ فَلَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيۡدِيَكُمۡ وَأَرۡجُلَكُم مِّنۡ خِلَٰفٖ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ﴿49﴾

[Pharaoh] said, "You believed Moses before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all

26:50

قَالُواْ لَا ضَيۡرَۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ﴿50﴾

They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return

26:51

إِنَّا نَطۡمَعُ أَن يَغۡفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ﴿51﴾

Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers

26:52

۞وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنۡ أَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِيٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ﴿52﴾

And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued

26:53

فَأَرۡسَلَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ فِي ٱلۡمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ﴿53﴾

Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers

26:54

إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرۡذِمَةٞ قَلِيلُونَ﴿54﴾

[And said], "Indeed, those are but a small band

26:55

وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ﴿55﴾

And indeed, they are enraging us

26:56

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ﴿56﴾

And indeed, we are a cautious society

26:57

فَأَخۡرَجۡنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّـٰتٖ وَعُيُونٖ﴿57﴾

So We removed them from gardens and springs

26:58

وَكُنُوزٖ وَمَقَامٖ كَرِيمٖ﴿58﴾

And treasures and honorable station

26:59

كَذَٰلِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَٰهَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَـٰٓءِيلَ﴿59﴾

Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel

26:60

فَأَتۡبَعُوهُم مُّشۡرِقِينَ﴿60﴾

So they pursued them at sunrise

26:61

فَلَمَّا تَرَـٰٓءَا ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِ قَالَ أَصۡحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدۡرَكُونَ﴿61﴾

And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken

26:62

قَالَ كَلَّآۖ إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ﴿62﴾

[Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me

26:63

فَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضۡرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرۡقٖ كَٱلطَّوۡدِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ﴿63﴾

Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain

26:64

وَأَزۡلَفۡنَا ثَمَّ ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ﴿64﴾

And We advanced thereto the pursuers

26:65

وَأَنجَيۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ﴿65﴾

And We saved Moses and those with him, all together

26:66

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ﴿66﴾

Then We drowned the others

26:67

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ﴿67﴾

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers

26:68

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ﴿68﴾

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful

26:69

وَٱتۡلُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ نَبَأَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ﴿69﴾

And recite to them the news of Abraham

26:70

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَا تَعۡبُدُونَ﴿70﴾

When he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship

26:71

قَالُواْ نَعۡبُدُ أَصۡنَامٗا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَٰكِفِينَ﴿71﴾

They said, "We worship idols and remain to them devoted

26:72

قَالَ هَلۡ يَسۡمَعُونَكُمۡ إِذۡ تَدۡعُونَ﴿72﴾

He said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate

26:73

أَوۡ يَنفَعُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ يَضُرُّونَ﴿73﴾

Or do they benefit you, or do they harm

26:74

قَالُواْ بَلۡ وَجَدۡنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفۡعَلُونَ﴿74﴾

They said, "But we found our fathers doing thus

26:75

قَالَ أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُونَ﴿75﴾

He said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping

26:76

أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلۡأَقۡدَمُونَ﴿76﴾

You and your ancient forefathers

26:77

فَإِنَّهُمۡ عَدُوّٞ لِّيٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿77﴾

Indeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds

26:78

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَهُوَ يَهۡدِينِ﴿78﴾

Who created me, and He [it is who] guides me

26:79

وَٱلَّذِي هُوَ يُطۡعِمُنِي وَيَسۡقِينِ﴿79﴾

And it is He who feeds me and gives me drink

26:80

وَإِذَا مَرِضۡتُ فَهُوَ يَشۡفِينِ﴿80﴾

And when I am ill, it is He who cures me

26:81

وَٱلَّذِي يُمِيتُنِي ثُمَّ يُحۡيِينِ﴿81﴾

And who will cause me to die and then bring me to life

26:82

وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَطۡمَعُ أَن يَغۡفِرَ لِي خَطِيٓـَٔتِي يَوۡمَ ٱلدِّينِ﴿82﴾

And who I aspire that He will forgive me my sin on the Day of Recompense

26:83

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي حُكۡمٗا وَأَلۡحِقۡنِي بِٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ﴿83﴾

[And he said], "My Lord, grant me authority and join me with the righteous

26:84

وَٱجۡعَل لِّي لِسَانَ صِدۡقٖ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ﴿84﴾

And grant me a reputation of honor among later generations

26:85

وَٱجۡعَلۡنِي مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ﴿85﴾

And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Pleasure

26:86

وَٱغۡفِرۡ لِأَبِيٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ﴿86﴾

And forgive my father. Indeed, he has been of those astray

26:87

وَلَا تُخۡزِنِي يَوۡمَ يُبۡعَثُونَ﴿87﴾

And do not disgrace me on the Day they are [all] resurrected

26:88

يَوۡمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٞ وَلَا بَنُونَ﴿88﴾

The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children

26:89

إِلَّا مَنۡ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٖ﴿89﴾

But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart

26:90

وَأُزۡلِفَتِ ٱلۡجَنَّةُ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ﴿90﴾

And Paradise will be brought near [that Day] to the righteous

26:91

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلۡجَحِيمُ لِلۡغَاوِينَ﴿91﴾

And Hellfire will be brought forth for the deviators

26:92

وَقِيلَ لَهُمۡ أَيۡنَ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُونَ﴿92﴾

And it will be said to them, "Where are those you used to worship

26:93

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلۡ يَنصُرُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ يَنتَصِرُونَ﴿93﴾

Other than Allah? Can they help you or help themselves

26:94

فَكُبۡكِبُواْ فِيهَا هُمۡ وَٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ﴿94﴾

So they will be overturned into Hellfire, they and the deviators

26:95

وَجُنُودُ إِبۡلِيسَ أَجۡمَعُونَ﴿95﴾

And the soldiers of Iblees, all together

26:96

قَالُواْ وَهُمۡ فِيهَا يَخۡتَصِمُونَ﴿96﴾

They will say while they dispute therein

26:97

تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٍ﴿97﴾

By Allah, we were indeed in manifest error

26:98

إِذۡ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿98﴾

When we equated you with the Lord of the worlds

26:99

وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ﴿99﴾

And no one misguided us except the criminals

26:100

فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَٰفِعِينَ﴿100﴾

So now we have no intercessors

26:101

وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٖ﴿101﴾

And not a devoted friend

26:102

فَلَوۡ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةٗ فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ﴿102﴾

Then if we only had a return [to the world] and could be of the believers

26:103

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ﴿103﴾

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers

26:104

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ﴿104﴾

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful

26:105

كَذَّبَتۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٍ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ﴿105﴾

The people of Noah denied the messengers

26:106

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ﴿106﴾

When their brother Noah said to them, "Will you not fear Allah

26:107

إِنِّي لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٞ﴿107﴾

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger

26:108

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ﴿108﴾

So fear Allah and obey me

26:109

وَمَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿109﴾

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds

26:110

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ﴿110﴾

So fear Allah and obey me

26:111

۞قَالُوٓاْ أَنُؤۡمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلۡأَرۡذَلُونَ﴿111﴾

They said, "Should we believe you while you are followed by the lowest [class of people]

26:112

قَالَ وَمَا عِلۡمِي بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ﴿112﴾

He said, "And what is my knowledge of what they used to do

26:113

إِنۡ حِسَابُهُمۡ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّيۖ لَوۡ تَشۡعُرُونَ﴿113﴾

Their account is only upon my Lord, if you [could] perceive

26:114

وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ﴿114﴾

And I am not one to drive away the believers

26:115

إِنۡ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٞ﴿115﴾

I am only a clear warner

26:116

قَالُواْ لَئِن لَّمۡ تَنتَهِ يَٰنُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمَرۡجُومِينَ﴿116﴾

They said, "If you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be of those who are stoned

26:117

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوۡمِي كَذَّبُونِ﴿117﴾

He said, "My Lord, indeed my people have denied me

26:118

فَٱفۡتَحۡ بَيۡنِي وَبَيۡنَهُمۡ فَتۡحٗا وَنَجِّنِي وَمَن مَّعِيَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ﴿118﴾

Then judge between me and them with decisive judgement and save me and those with me of the believers

26:119

فَأَنجَيۡنَٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِي ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ﴿119﴾

So We saved him and those with him in the laden ship

26:120

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا بَعۡدُ ٱلۡبَاقِينَ﴿120﴾

Then We drowned thereafter the remaining ones

26:121

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ﴿121﴾

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers

26:122

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ﴿122﴾

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful

26:123

كَذَّبَتۡ عَادٌ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ﴿123﴾

Aad denied the messengers

26:124

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ﴿124﴾

When their brother Hud said to them, "Will you not fear Allah

26:125

إِنِّي لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٞ﴿125﴾

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger

26:126

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ﴿126﴾

So fear Allah and obey me

26:127

وَمَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿127﴾

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds

26:128

أَتَبۡنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِيعٍ ءَايَةٗ تَعۡبَثُونَ﴿128﴾

Do you construct on every elevation a sign, amusing yourselves

26:129

وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَخۡلُدُونَ﴿129﴾

And take for yourselves palaces and fortresses that you might abide eternally

26:130

وَإِذَا بَطَشۡتُم بَطَشۡتُمۡ جَبَّارِينَ﴿130﴾

And when you strike, you strike as tyrants

26:131

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ﴿131﴾

So fear Allah and obey me

26:132

وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَمَدَّكُم بِمَا تَعۡلَمُونَ﴿132﴾

And fear He who provided you with that which you know

26:133

أَمَدَّكُم بِأَنۡعَٰمٖ وَبَنِينَ﴿133﴾

Provided you with grazing livestock and children

26:134

وَجَنَّـٰتٖ وَعُيُونٍ﴿134﴾

And gardens and springs

26:135

إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ عَذَابَ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٖ﴿135﴾

Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day

26:136

قَالُواْ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيۡنَآ أَوَعَظۡتَ أَمۡ لَمۡ تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلۡوَٰعِظِينَ﴿136﴾

They said, "It is all the same to us whether you advise or are not of the advisors

26:137

إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا خُلُقُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ﴿137﴾

This is not but the custom of the former peoples

26:138

وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ﴿138﴾

And we are not to be punished

26:139

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهۡلَكۡنَٰهُمۡۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ﴿139﴾

And they denied him, so We destroyed them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers

26:140

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ﴿140﴾

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful

26:141

كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ﴿141﴾

Thamud denied the messengers

26:142

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ صَٰلِحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ﴿142﴾

When their brother Salih said to them, "Will you not fear Allah

26:143

إِنِّي لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٞ﴿143﴾

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger

26:144

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ﴿144﴾

So fear Allah and obey me

26:145

وَمَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿145﴾

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds

26:146

أَتُتۡرَكُونَ فِي مَا هَٰهُنَآ ءَامِنِينَ﴿146﴾

Will you be left in what is here, secure [from death]

26:147

فِي جَنَّـٰتٖ وَعُيُونٖ﴿147﴾

Within gardens and springs

26:148

وَزُرُوعٖ وَنَخۡلٖ طَلۡعُهَا هَضِيمٞ﴿148﴾

And fields of crops and palm trees with softened fruit

26:149

وَتَنۡحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡجِبَالِ بُيُوتٗا فَٰرِهِينَ﴿149﴾

And you carve out of the mountains, homes, with skill

26:150

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ﴿150﴾

So fear Allah and obey me

26:151

وَلَا تُطِيعُوٓاْ أَمۡرَ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ﴿151﴾

And do not obey the order of the transgressors

26:152

ٱلَّذِينَ يُفۡسِدُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَا يُصۡلِحُونَ﴿152﴾

Who cause corruption in the land and do not amend

26:153

قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَحَّرِينَ﴿153﴾

They said, "You are only of those affected by magic

26:154

مَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٞ مِّثۡلُنَا فَأۡتِ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ﴿154﴾

You are but a man like ourselves, so bring a sign, if you should be of the truthful

26:155

قَالَ هَٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةٞ لَّهَا شِرۡبٞ وَلَكُمۡ شِرۡبُ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ﴿155﴾

He said, "This is a she-camel. For her is a [time of] drink, and for you is a [time of] drink, [each] on a known day

26:156

وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٖ فَيَأۡخُذَكُمۡ عَذَابُ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٖ﴿156﴾

And do not touch her with harm, lest you be seized by the punishment of a terrible day

26:157

فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصۡبَحُواْ نَٰدِمِينَ﴿157﴾

But they hamstrung her and so became regretful

26:158

فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ﴿158﴾

And the punishment seized them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers

26:159

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ﴿159﴾

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful

26:160

كَذَّبَتۡ قَوۡمُ لُوطٍ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ﴿160﴾

The people of Lot denied the messengers

26:161

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ لُوطٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ﴿161﴾

When their brother Lot said to them, "Will you not fear Allah

26:162

إِنِّي لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٞ﴿162﴾

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger

26:163

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ﴿163﴾

So fear Allah and obey me

26:164

وَمَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿164﴾

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds

26:165

أَتَأۡتُونَ ٱلذُّكۡرَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿165﴾

Do you approach males among the worlds

26:166

وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمۡ رَبُّكُم مِّنۡ أَزۡوَٰجِكُمۚ بَلۡ أَنتُمۡ قَوۡمٌ عَادُونَ﴿166﴾

And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing

26:167

قَالُواْ لَئِن لَّمۡ تَنتَهِ يَٰلُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمُخۡرَجِينَ﴿167﴾

They said, "If you do not desist, O Lot, you will surely be of those evicted

26:168

قَالَ إِنِّي لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡقَالِينَ﴿168﴾

He said, "Indeed, I am, toward your deed, of those who detest [it]

26:169

رَبِّ نَجِّنِي وَأَهۡلِي مِمَّا يَعۡمَلُونَ﴿169﴾

My Lord, save me and my family from [the consequence of] what they do

26:170

فَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ﴿170﴾

So We saved him and his family, all

26:171

إِلَّا عَجُوزٗا فِي ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ﴿171﴾

Except an old woman among those who remained behind

26:172

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ﴿172﴾

Then We destroyed the others

26:173

وَأَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهِم مَّطَرٗاۖ فَسَآءَ مَطَرُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ﴿173﴾

And We rained upon them a rain [of stones], and evil was the rain of those who were warned

26:174

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ﴿174﴾

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers

26:175

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ﴿175﴾

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful

26:176

كَذَّبَ أَصۡحَٰبُ لۡـَٔيۡكَةِ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ﴿176﴾

The companions of the thicket denied the messengers

26:177

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ شُعَيۡبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ﴿177﴾

When Shu'ayb said to them, "Will you not fear Allah

26:178

إِنِّي لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٞ﴿178﴾

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger

26:179

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ﴿179﴾

So fear Allah and obey me

26:180

وَمَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿180﴾

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds

26:181

۞أَوۡفُواْ ٱلۡكَيۡلَ وَلَا تَكُونُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡمُخۡسِرِينَ﴿181﴾

Give full measure and do not be of those who cause loss

26:182

وَزِنُواْ بِٱلۡقِسۡطَاسِ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمِ﴿182﴾

And weigh with an even balance

26:183

وَلَا تَبۡخَسُواْ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشۡيَآءَهُمۡ وَلَا تَعۡثَوۡاْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مُفۡسِدِينَ﴿183﴾

And do not deprive people of their due and do not commit abuse on earth, spreading corruption

26:184

وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَكُمۡ وَٱلۡجِبِلَّةَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ﴿184﴾

And fear He who created you and the former creation

26:185

قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَحَّرِينَ﴿185﴾

They said, "You are only of those affected by magic

26:186

وَمَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٞ مِّثۡلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡكَٰذِبِينَ﴿186﴾

You are but a man like ourselves, and indeed, we think you are among the liars

26:187

فَأَسۡقِطۡ عَلَيۡنَا كِسَفٗا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ﴿187﴾

So cause to fall upon us fragments of the sky, if you should be of the truthful

26:188

قَالَ رَبِّيٓ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ﴿188﴾

He said, "My Lord is most knowing of what you do

26:189

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمۡ عَذَابُ يَوۡمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٍ﴿189﴾

And they denied him, so the punishment of the day of the black cloud seized them. Indeed, it was the punishment of a terrible day

26:190

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ﴿190﴾

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers

26:191

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ﴿191﴾

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful

26:192

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿192﴾

And indeed, the Qur'an is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds

26:193

نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلۡأَمِينُ﴿193﴾

The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down

26:194

عَلَىٰ قَلۡبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُنذِرِينَ﴿194﴾

Upon your heart, [O Muhammad] - that you may be of the warners

26:195

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِيّٖ مُّبِينٖ﴿195﴾

In a clear Arabic language

26:196

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِي زُبُرِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ﴿196﴾

And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples

26:197

أَوَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُمۡ ءَايَةً أَن يَعۡلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَـٰٓؤُاْ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَـٰٓءِيلَ﴿197﴾

And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel

26:198

وَلَوۡ نَزَّلۡنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضِ ٱلۡأَعۡجَمِينَ﴿198﴾

And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners

26:199

فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيۡهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ مُؤۡمِنِينَ﴿199﴾

And he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it

26:200

كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكۡنَٰهُ فِي قُلُوبِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ﴿200﴾

Thus have We inserted disbelief into the hearts of the criminals

26:201

لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُاْ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِيمَ﴿201﴾

They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment

26:202

فَيَأۡتِيَهُم بَغۡتَةٗ وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ﴿202﴾

And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not

26:203

فَيَقُولُواْ هَلۡ نَحۡنُ مُنظَرُونَ﴿203﴾

And they will say, "May we be reprieved

26:204

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ﴿204﴾

So for Our punishment are they impatient

26:205

أَفَرَءَيۡتَ إِن مَّتَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ سِنِينَ﴿205﴾

Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years

26:206

ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يُوعَدُونَ﴿206﴾

And then there came to them that which they were promised

26:207

مَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يُمَتَّعُونَ﴿207﴾

They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided

26:208

وَمَآ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَرۡيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ﴿208﴾

And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners

26:209

ذِكۡرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ﴿209﴾

As a reminder; and never have We been unjust

26:210

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتۡ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ﴿210﴾

And the devils have not brought the revelation down

26:211

وَمَا يَنۢبَغِي لَهُمۡ وَمَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ﴿211﴾

It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able

26:212

إِنَّهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلسَّمۡعِ لَمَعۡزُولُونَ﴿212﴾

Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed

26:213

فَلَا تَدۡعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُعَذَّبِينَ﴿213﴾

So do not invoke with Allah another deity and [thus] be among the punished

26:214

وَأَنذِرۡ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلۡأَقۡرَبِينَ﴿214﴾

And warn, [O Muhammad], your closest kindred

26:215

وَٱخۡفِضۡ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ﴿215﴾

And lower your wing to those who follow you of the believers

26:216

فَإِنۡ عَصَوۡكَ فَقُلۡ إِنِّي بَرِيٓءٞ مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ﴿216﴾

And if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing

26:217

وَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ﴿217﴾

And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful

26:218

ٱلَّذِي يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ﴿218﴾

Who sees you when you arise

26:219

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِي ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ﴿219﴾

And your movement among those who prostrate

26:220

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ﴿220﴾

Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing

26:221

هَلۡ أُنَبِّئُكُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ﴿221﴾

Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend

26:222

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٖ﴿222﴾

They descend upon every sinful liar

26:223

يُلۡقُونَ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ كَٰذِبُونَ﴿223﴾

They pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars

26:224

وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ﴿224﴾

And the poets - [only] the deviators follow them

26:225

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّهُمۡ فِي كُلِّ وَادٖ يَهِيمُونَ﴿225﴾

Do you not see that in every valley they roam

26:226

وَأَنَّهُمۡ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفۡعَلُونَ﴿226﴾

And that they say what they do not do

26:227

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَٰتِ وَذَكَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرٗا وَٱنتَصَرُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا ظُلِمُواْۗ وَسَيَعۡلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓاْ أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٖ يَنقَلِبُونَ﴿227﴾

Except those [poets] who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allah often and defend [the Muslims] after they were wronged. And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned
