Ash-Shu'ara

Translation: Pickthall

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ طسٓمٓ

Ta. Sin. Mim. 26:1

تِلْكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ

These are revelations of the Scripture that maketh plain. 26:2

لَعَلَّكَ بَٰخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ

It may be that thou tormentest thyself (O Muhammad) because they believe not. 26:3

إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَٰقُهُمْ لَهَا خَٰضِعِينَ

If We will, We can send down on them from the sky a portent so that their necks would remain bowed before it. 26:4

وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ

Never cometh there unto them a fresh reminder from the Beneficent One, but they turn away from it. 26:5

فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنۢبَٰٓؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

Now they have denied (the Truth); but there will come unto them tidings of that whereat they used to scoff. 26:6

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍ

Have they not seen the earth, how much of every fruitful kind We make to grow therein? 26:7

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Lo! herein is indeed a portent; yet most of them are not believers. 26:8

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful. 26:9

وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئْتِ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

And when thy Lord called Moses, saying: Go unto the wrongdoing folk, 26:10

قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ

The folk of Pharaoh. Will they not ward off (evil)? 26:11

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ

He said: My Lord! Lo! I fear that they will deny me, 26:12

وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِى وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِى فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَٰرُونَ

And I shall be embarrassed, and my tongue will not speak plainly, therefor send for Aaron (to help me). 26:13

وَلَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنۢبٌ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ

And they have a crime against me, so I fear that they will kill me. 26:14

قَالَ كَلَّا فَٱذْهَبَا بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ

He said: Nay, verily. So go ye twain with Our tokens. Lo! We shall be with you, Hearing. 26:15

فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

And come together unto Pharaoh and say: Lo! we bear a message of the Lord of the Worlds, 26:16

أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

(Saying): Let the Children of Israel go with us. 26:17

قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ

(Pharaoh) said (unto Moses): Did we not rear thee among us as a child? And thou didst dwell many years of thy life among us, 26:18

وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِى فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ

And thou didst that thy deed which thou didst, and thou wast one of the ingrates. 26:19

قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَآ إِذًا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

He said: I did it then, when I was of those who are astray. 26:20

فَفَرَرْتُ مِنكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِى رَبِّى حُكْمًا وَجَعَلَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Then I fled from you when I feared you, and my Lord vouchsafed me a command and appointed me (of the number) of those sent (by Him). 26:21

وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

And this is the past favour wherewith thou reproachest me: that thou hast enslaved the Children of Israel. 26:22

قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

Pharaoh said: And what is the Lord of the Worlds? 26:23

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ

(Moses) said: Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if ye had but sure belief. 26:24

قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ

(Pharaoh) said unto those around him: Hear ye not? 26:25

قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

He said: Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers. 26:26

قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌ

(Pharaoh) said: Lo! your messenger who hath been sent unto you is indeed a madman! 26:27

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

He said: Lord of the East and the West and all that is between them, if ye did but understand. 26:28

قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذْتَ إِلَٰهًا غَيْرِى لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَسْجُونِينَ

(Pharaoh) said: If thou choosest a god other than me, I assuredly shall place thee among the prisoners. 26:29

قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَىْءٍ مُّبِينٍ

He said: Even though I show thee something plain? 26:30

قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ

(Pharaoh) said: Produce it then, if thou art of the truthful! 26:31

فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِينٌ

Then he flung down his staff and it became a serpent manifest, 26:32

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ

And he drew forth his hand and lo! it was white to the beholders. 26:33

قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌ

(Pharaoh) said unto the chiefs about him: Lo! this is verily a knowing wizard, 26:34

يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ

Who would drive you out of your land by his magic. Now what counsel ye? 26:35

قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبْعَثْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ

They said: Put him off, (him) and his brother, and send into the cities summoners 26:36

يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍ

Who shall bring unto thee every knowing wizard. 26:37

فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ

So the wizards were gathered together at a set time on a day appointed. 26:38

وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ

And it was said unto the people: Are ye (also) gathering? 26:39

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ

(They said): Aye, so that we may follow the wizards if they are the winners. 26:40

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ

And when the wizards came they said unto Pharaoh: Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners? 26:41

قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ

He said: Aye, and ye will then surely be of those brought near (to me). 26:42

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ

Moses said unto them: Throw what ye are going to throw! 26:43

فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ

Then they threw down their cords and their staves and said: By Pharaoh's might, lo! we verily are the winners. 26:44

فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ

Then Moses threw his staff and lo! it swallowed that which they did falsely show. 26:45

فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَٰجِدِينَ

And the wizards were flung prostrate, 26:46

قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

Crying: We believe in the Lord of the Worlds, 26:47

رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

The Lord of Moses and Aaron. 26:48

قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَٰفٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

(Pharaoh) said: Ye put your faith in him before I give you leave. Lo! he doubtless is your chief who taught you magic! But verily ye shall come to know. Verily I will cut off your hands and your feet alternately, and verily I will crucify you every one. 26:49

قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ

They said: It is no hurt, for lo! unto our Lord we shall return. 26:50

إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Lo! we ardently hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we are the first of the believers. 26:51

وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

And We inspired Moses, saying: Take away My slaves by night, for ye will be pursued. 26:52

فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ

Then Pharaoh sent into the cities summoners, 26:53

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ

(Who said): Lo! these indeed are but a little troop, 26:54

وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ

And lo! they are offenders against us. 26:55

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ

And lo! we are a ready host. 26:56

فَأَخْرَجْنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

Thus did We take them away from gardens and watersprings, 26:57

وَكُنُوزٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ

And treasures and a fair estate. 26:58

كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

Thus (were those things taken from them) and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them. 26:59

فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ

And they overtook them at sunrise. 26:60

فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ

And when the two hosts saw each other, those with Moses said: Lo! we are indeed caught. 26:61

قَالَ كَلَّآ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ

He said: Nay, verily! for lo! my Lord is with me. He will guide me. 26:62

فَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْبَحْرَ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍ كَٱلطَّوْدِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

Then We inspired Moses, saying: Smite the sea with thy staff. And it parted, and each part was as a mountain vast. 26:63

وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ

Then brought We near the others to that place. 26:64

وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ

And We saved Moses and those with him, every one; 26:65

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ

And We drowned the others. 26:66

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers. 26:67

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

And lo, thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful. 26:68

وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ

Recite unto them the story of Abraham: 26:69

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ

When he said unto his father and his folk: What worship ye? 26:70

قَالُوا۟ نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَٰكِفِينَ

They said: We worship idols, and are ever devoted unto them. 26:71

قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ

He said: Do they hear you when ye cry? 26:72

أَوْ يَنفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ

Or do they benefit or harm you? 26:73

قَالُوا۟ بَلْ وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ

They said: Nay, but we found our fathers acting on this wise. 26:74

قَالَ أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ

He said: See now that which ye worship, 26:75

أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلْأَقْدَمُونَ

Ye and your forefathers! 26:76

فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّ لِّىٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

Lo! they are (all) an enemy unto me, save the Lord of the Worlds, 26:77

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَنِى فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ

Who created me, and He doth guide me, 26:78

وَٱلَّذِى هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِى وَيَسْقِينِ

And Who feedeth me and watereth me. 26:79

وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ

And when I sicken, then He healeth me, 26:80

وَٱلَّذِى يُمِيتُنِى ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ

And Who causeth me to die, then giveth me life (again), 26:81

وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لِى خَطِيٓـَٔتِى يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ

And Who, I ardently hope, will forgive me my sin on the Day of Judgment. 26:82

رَبِّ هَبْ لِى حُكْمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِى بِٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

My Lord! Vouchsafe me wisdom and unite me to the righteous. 26:83

وَٱجْعَل لِّى لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

And give unto me a good report in later generations. 26:84

وَٱجْعَلْنِى مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Delight, 26:85

وَٱغْفِرْ لِأَبِىٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

And forgive my father. Lo! he is of those who err. 26:86

وَلَا تُخْزِنِى يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ

And abase me not on the day when they are raised, 26:87

يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌ وَلَا بَنُونَ

The day when wealth and sons avail not (any man) 26:88

إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ

Save him who bringeth unto Allah a whole heart. 26:89

وَأُزْلِفَتِ ٱلْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

And the Garden will be brought nigh for those who ward off (evil). 26:90

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَ

And hell will appear plainly to the erring. 26:91

وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ

And it will be said unto them: Where is (all) that ye used to worship 26:92

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلْ يَنصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنتَصِرُونَ

Instead of Allah? Can they help you or help themselves? 26:93

فَكُبْكِبُوا۟ فِيهَا هُمْ وَٱلْغَاوُۥنَ

Then will they be hurled therein, they and the seducers 26:94

وَجُنُودُ إِبْلِيسَ أَجْمَعُونَ

And the hosts of Iblis, together. 26:95

قَالُوا۟ وَهُمْ فِيهَا يَخْتَصِمُونَ

And they will say, when they are quarrelling therein: 26:96

تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِى ضَلَٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ

By Allah, of a truth we were in error manifest 26:97

إِذْ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

When we made you equal with the Lord of the Worlds. 26:98

وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ

It was but the guilty who misled us. 26:99

فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَٰفِعِينَ

Now we have no intercessors 26:100

وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍ

Nor any loving friend. 26:101

فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Oh, that we had another turn (on earth), that we might be of the believers! 26:102

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers! 26:103

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

And lo, thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful. 26:104

كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Noah's folk denied the messengers (of Allah), 26:105

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

When their brother Noah said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)? 26:106

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you, 26:107

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

So keep your duty to Allah, and obey me. 26:108

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds. 26:109

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

So keep your duty to Allah, and obey me. 26:110

قَالُوٓا۟ أَنُؤْمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلْأَرْذَلُونَ

They said: Shall we put faith in thee, when the lowest (of the people) follow thee? 26:111

قَالَ وَمَا عِلْمِى بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

He said: And what knowledge have I of what they may have been doing (in the past)? 26:112

إِنْ حِسَابُهُمْ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّى لَوْ تَشْعُرُونَ

Lo! their reckoning is my Lord's concern, if ye but knew; 26:113

وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

And I am not (here) to repulse believers. 26:114

إِنْ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ

I am only a plain warner. 26:115

قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَٰنُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمَرْجُومِينَ

They said: If thou cease not, O Noah, thou wilt surely be among those stoned (to death). 26:116

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِى كَذَّبُونِ

He said: My Lord! Lo! my own folk deny me. 26:117

فَٱفْتَحْ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَتْحًا وَنَجِّنِى وَمَن مَّعِىَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Therefor judge Thou between us, a (conclusive) judgment, and save me and those believers who are with me. 26:118

فَأَنجَيْنَٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ

And We saved him and those with him in the laden ship. 26:119

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا بَعْدُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ

Then afterward We drowned the others. 26:120

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers. 26:121

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

And lo, thy Lord, He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful. 26:122

كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

(The tribe of) A'ad denied the messengers (of Allah). 26:123

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

When their brother Hud said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)? 26:124

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you, 26:125

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

So keep your duty to Allah and obey me. 26:126

إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا خُلُقُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

This is but a fable of the men of old, 26:137

وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ

ٱلَّذِينَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ

They said: Thou art but one of the bewitched; 26:153

مَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا فَأْتِ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ

Thou art but a mortal like us. So bring some token if thou art of the truthful. 26:154

He said: (Behold) this she-camel. She hath the right to drink (at the well), and ye have the right to drink, (each) on an appointed day. 26:155

What! Of all creatures do ye come unto the males, 26:165

And leave the wives your Lord created for you? Nay, but ye are froward folk. 26:166

They said: If thou cease not, O Lot, thou wilt soon be of the outcast. 26:167

قَالَ إِنِّى لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلْقَالِينَ

رَبِّ نَجِّنِى وَأَهْلِى مِمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ

My Lord! Save me and my household from what they do. 26:169

فَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ

قَالَ رَبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

He said: My Lord is Best Aware of what ye do. 26:188

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِى زُبُرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

And lo! it is in the Scriptures of the men of old. 26:196

أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ ءَايَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَٰٓؤُا۟ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

Is it not a token for them that the doctors of the Children of Israel know it? 26:197

وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ ٱلْأَعْجَمِينَ

And if We had revealed it unto one of any other nation than the Arabs, 26:198

فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنِينَ

And he had read it unto them, they would not have believed in it. 26:199

كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَٰهُ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

Thus do We make it traverse the hearts of the guilty. 26:200

لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ

They will not believe in it till they behold the painful doom, 26:201

فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

So that it will come upon them suddenly, when they perceive not. 26:202

فَيَقُولُوا۟ هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ

Then they will say: Are we to be reprieved? 26:203

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

Would they (now) hasten on Our doom? 26:204

أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَٰهُمْ سِنِينَ

Hast thou then seen, if We content them for (long) years, 26:205

ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ

And then cometh that which they were promised, 26:206

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُمَتَّعُونَ

(How) that wherewith they were contented naught availeth them? 26:207

وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ

And We destroyed no township but it had its warners 26:208

ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ

For reminder, for We never were oppressors. 26:209

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ

The devils did not bring it down. 26:210

وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ

It is not meet for them, nor is it in their power, 26:211

إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ

Lo! verily they are banished from the hearing. 26:212

فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُعَذَّبِينَ

Therefor invoke not with Allah another god, lest thou be one of the doomed. 26:213

وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ

And warn thy tribe of near kindred, 26:214

وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

And lower thy wing (in kindness) unto those believers who follow thee. 26:215

فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ

And if they (thy kinsfolk) disobey thee, say: Lo! I am innocent of what they do. 26:216

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

And put thy trust in the Mighty, the Merciful. 26:217

ٱلَّذِى يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ

Who seeth thee when thou standest up (to pray) 26:218

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ

And (seeth) thine abasement among those who fall prostrate (in worship). 26:219

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

Lo! He, only He, is the Hearer, the Knower. 26:220

هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ

Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend? 26:221

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ

They descend on every sinful, false one. 26:222

يُلْقُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَٰذِبُونَ

They listen eagerly, but most of them are liars. 26:223

وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلْغَاوُۥنَ

As for poets, the erring follow them. 26:224

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ

Hast thou not seen how they stray in every valley, 26:225

وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ

And how they say that which they do not? 26:226

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَٱنتَصَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَىَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ

Save those who believe and do good works, and remember Allah much, and vindicate themselves after they have been wronged. Those who do wrong will come to know by what a (great) reverse they will be overturned! 26:227
