سورة الشعراء 
26:1 طسم
Ta, Seen, Meem.
26:2 تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ
These are the verses of the clear Book.
26:3 لَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ
Perhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.
26:4 إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ آيَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَاقُهُمْ لَهَا خَاضِعِينَ
If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.
26:5 وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ الرَّحْمَٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ
And no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.
26:6 فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنبَاءُ مَا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ
For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule.
26:7 أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍ
Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind?
26:8 إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
26:9 وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
26:10 وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰ أَنِ ائْتِ الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ
And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people -
26:11 قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ
The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allah ?"
26:12 قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ
He said, "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me
26:13 وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِي وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِي فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَارُونَ
And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron.
26:14 وَلَهُمْ عَلَيَّ ذَنبٌ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ
And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me."
26:15 قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ فَاذْهَبَا بِآيَاتِنَا ۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ
[ Allah ] said, "No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening.
26:16 فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَا إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds,
26:17 أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ
[Commanded to say], "Send with us the Children of Israel."'"
26:18 قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ
[Pharaoh] said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life?
26:19 وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ الَّتِي فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ
And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful."
26:20 قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَا إِذًا وَأَنَا مِنَ الضَّالِّينَ
[Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray.
26:21 فَفَرَرْتُ مِنكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِي رَبِّي حُكْمًا وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
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 وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَيَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ
And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?"
26:23 قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ
Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds?"
26:24 قَالَ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ
[Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced."
26:25 قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ
[Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear?"
26:26 قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ آبَائِكُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ
[Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers."
26:27 قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ الَّذِي أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌ
[Pharaoh] said, "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad."
26:28 قَالَ رَبُّ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ
[Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason."
26:29 قَالَ لَئِنِ اتَّخَذْتَ إِلَٰهًا غَيْرِي لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ الْمَسْجُونِينَ
[Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned."
26:30 قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَيْءٍ مُّبِينٍ
[Moses] said, "Even if I brought you proof manifest?"
26:31 قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ
[Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful."
26:32 فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِينٌ
So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest.
26:33 وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ بَيْضَاءُ لِلنَّاظِرِينَ
And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers.
26:34 قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَاحِرٌ عَلِيمٌ
[Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician.
26:35 يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ
He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise?"
26:36 قَالُوا أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَابْعَثْ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِينَ
They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers
26:37 يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍ
Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician."
26:38 فَجُمِعَ السَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day.
26:39 وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ
And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate
26:40 لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ السَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا هُمُ الْغَالِبِينَ
That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"
26:41 فَلَمَّا جَاءَ السَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغَالِبِينَ
And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?"
26:42 قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ
He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]."
26:43 قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰ أَلْقُوا مَا أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ
Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw."
26:44 فَأَلْقَوْا حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْغَالِبُونَ
So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant."
26:45 فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ
Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified.
26:46 فَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سَاجِدِينَ
So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah ].
26:47 قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,
26:48 رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ
The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
26:49 قَالَ آمَنتُمْ لَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ آذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ الَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَافٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
[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 قَالُوا لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّا إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ
They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return.
26:51 إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَايَانَا أَن كُنَّا أَوَّلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers."
26:52 وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِي إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ
And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued."
26:53 فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِينَ
Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers
26:54 إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ
[And said], "Indeed, those are but a small band,
26:55 وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَائِظُونَ
And indeed, they are enraging us,
26:56 وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَاذِرُونَ
And indeed, we are a cautious society... "
26:57 فَأَخْرَجْنَاهُم مِّن جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
So We removed them from gardens and springs
26:58 وَكُنُوزٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ
And treasures and honorable station -
26:59 كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَاهَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ
Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel.
26:60 فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ
So they pursued them at sunrise.
26:61 فَلَمَّا تَرَاءَى الْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَابُ مُوسَىٰ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ
And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken!"
26:62 قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ
[Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me."
26:63 فَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ أَنِ اضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ الْبَحْرَ ۖ فَانفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍ كَالطَّوْدِ الْعَظِيمِ
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 وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ الْآخَرِينَ
And We advanced thereto the pursuers.
26:65 وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُ أَجْمَعِينَ
And We saved Moses and those with him, all together.
26:66 ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا الْآخَرِينَ
Then We drowned the others.
26:67 إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
26:68 وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
26:69 وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ
And recite to them the news of Abraham,
26:70 إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ
When he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?"
26:71 قَالُوا نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَاكِفِينَ
They said, "We worship idols and remain to them devoted."
26:72 قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ
He said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate?
26:73 أَوْ يَنفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ
Or do they benefit you, or do they harm?"
26:74 قَالُوا بَلْ وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ
They said, "But we found our fathers doing thus."
26:75 قَالَ أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ
He said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping,
26:76 أَنتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمُ الْأَقْدَمُونَ
You and your ancient forefathers?
26:77 فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّ لِّي إِلَّا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ
Indeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds,
26:78 الَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ
Who created me, and He [it is who] guides me.
26:79 وَالَّذِي هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِي وَيَسْقِينِ
And it is He who feeds me and gives me drink.
26:80 وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ
And when I am ill, it is He who cures me
26:81 وَالَّذِي يُمِيتُنِي ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ
And who will cause me to die and then bring me to life
26:82 وَالَّذِي أَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لِي خَطِيئَتِي يَوْمَ الدِّينِ
And who I aspire that He will forgive me my sin on the Day of Recompense."
26:83 رَبِّ هَبْ لِي حُكْمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ
[And he said], "My Lord, grant me authority and join me with the righteous.
26:84 وَاجْعَل لِّي لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِي الْآخِرِينَ
And grant me a reputation of honor among later generations.
26:85 وَاجْعَلْنِي مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ النَّعِيمِ
And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Pleasure.
26:86 وَاغْفِرْ لِأَبِي إِنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الضَّالِّينَ
And forgive my father. Indeed, he has been of those astray.
26:87 وَلَا تُخْزِنِي يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ
And do not disgrace me on the Day they are [all] resurrected -
26:88 يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌ وَلَا بَنُونَ
The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children
26:89 إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى اللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ
But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart."
26:90 وَأُزْلِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ
And Paradise will be brought near [that Day] to the righteous.
26:91 وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَ
And Hellfire will be brought forth for the deviators,
26:92 وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ
And it will be said to them, "Where are those you used to worship
26:93 مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ هَلْ يَنصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنتَصِرُونَ
Other than Allah ? Can they help you or help themselves?"
26:94 فَكُبْكِبُوا فِيهَا هُمْ وَالْغَاوُونَ
So they will be overturned into Hellfire, they and the deviators
26:95 وَجُنُودُ إِبْلِيسَ أَجْمَعُونَ
And the soldiers of Iblees, all together.
26:96 قَالُوا وَهُمْ فِيهَا يَخْتَصِمُونَ
They will say while they dispute therein,
26:97 تَاللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ
"By Allah , we were indeed in manifest error
26:98 إِذْ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
When we equated you with the Lord of the worlds.
26:99 وَمَا أَضَلَّنَا إِلَّا الْمُجْرِمُونَ
And no one misguided us except the criminals.
26:100 فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَافِعِينَ
So now we have no intercessors
26:101 وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍ
And not a devoted friend.
26:102 فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Then if we only had a return [to the world] and could be of the believers... "
26:103 إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
26:104 وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
26:105 كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
The people of Noah denied the messengers
26:106 إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
When their brother Noah said to them, "Will you not fear Allah ?
26:107 إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.
26:108 فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
So fear Allah and obey me.
26:109 وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
26:110 فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
So fear Allah and obey me."
26:111 قَالُوا أَنُؤْمِنُ لَكَ وَاتَّبَعَكَ الْأَرْذَلُونَ
They said, "Should we believe you while you are followed by the lowest [class of people]?"
26:112 قَالَ وَمَا عِلْمِي بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
He said, "And what is my knowledge of what they used to do?
26:113 إِنْ حِسَابُهُمْ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّي ۖ لَوْ تَشْعُرُونَ
Their account is only upon my Lord, if you [could] perceive.
26:114 وَمَا أَنَا بِطَارِدِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
And I am not one to drive away the believers.
26:115 إِنْ أَنَا إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
I am only a clear warner."
26:116 قَالُوا لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَا نُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمَرْجُومِينَ
They said, "If you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be of those who are stoned."
26:117 قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِي كَذَّبُونِ
He said, "My Lord, indeed my people have denied me.
26:118 فَافْتَحْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَتْحًا وَنَجِّنِي وَمَن مَّعِيَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Then judge between me and them with decisive judgement and save me and those with me of the believers."
26:119 فَأَنجَيْنَاهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُ فِي الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُونِ
So We saved him and those with him in the laden ship.
26:120 ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا بَعْدُ الْبَاقِينَ
Then We drowned thereafter the remaining ones.
26:121 إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
26:122 وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
26:123 كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
'Aad denied the messengers
26:124 إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
When their brother Hud said to them, "Will you not fear Allah ?
26:125 إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.
26:126 فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
So fear Allah and obey me.
26:127 وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
26:128 أَتَبْنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِيعٍ آيَةً تَعْبَثُونَ
Do you construct on every elevation a sign, amusing yourselves,
26:129 وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَخْلُدُونَ
And take for yourselves palaces and fortresses that you might abide eternally?
26:130 وَإِذَا بَطَشْتُم بَطَشْتُمْ جَبَّارِينَ
And when you strike, you strike as tyrants.
26:131 فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
So fear Allah and obey me.
26:132 وَاتَّقُوا الَّذِي أَمَدَّكُم بِمَا تَعْلَمُونَ
And fear He who provided you with that which you know,
26:133 أَمَدَّكُم بِأَنْعَامٍ وَبَنِينَ
Provided you with grazing livestock and children
26:134 وَجَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
And gardens and springs.
26:135 إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day."
26:136 قَالُوا سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْنَا أَوَعَظْتَ أَمْ لَمْ تَكُن مِّنَ الْوَاعِظِينَ
They said, "It is all the same to us whether you advise or are not of the advisors.
26:137 إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا خُلُقُ الْأَوَّلِينَ
This is not but the custom of the former peoples,
26:138 وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ
And we are not to be punished."
26:139 فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
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 الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
26:141 كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
Thamud denied the messengers
26:142 إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ صَالِحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
When their brother Salih said to them, "Will you not fear Allah ?
26:143 إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.
26:144 فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
So fear Allah and obey me.
26:145 وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
26:146 أَتُتْرَكُونَ فِي مَا هَاهُنَا آمِنِينَ
Will you be left in what is here, secure [from death],
26:147 فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
Within gardens and springs
26:148 وَزُرُوعٍ وَنَخْلٍ طَلْعُهَا هَضِيمٌ
And fields of crops and palm trees with softened fruit?
26:149 وَتَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا فَارِهِينَ
And you carve out of the mountains, homes, with skill.
26:150 فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
So fear Allah and obey me.
26:151 وَلَا تُطِيعُوا أَمْرَ الْمُسْرِفِينَ
And do not obey the order of the transgressors,
26:152 الَّذِينَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ
Who cause corruption in the land and do not amend."
26:153 قَالُوا إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مِنَ الْمُسَحَّرِينَ
They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.
26:154 مَا أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا فَأْتِ بِآيَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ
You are but a man like ourselves, so bring a sign, if you should be of the truthful."
26:155 قَالَ هَٰذِهِ نَاقَةٌ لَّهَا شِرْبٌ وَلَكُمْ شِرْبُ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
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 بِسُوءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
And do not touch her with harm, lest you be seized by the punishment of a terrible day."
26:157 فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا نَادِمِينَ
But they hamstrung her and so became regretful.
26:158 فَأَخَذَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
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 الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
26:160 كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
The people of Lot denied the messengers
26:161 إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ لُوطٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
When their brother Lot said to them, "Will you not fear Allah ?
26:162 إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.
26:163 فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
So fear Allah and obey me.
26:164 وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
26:165 أَتَأْتُونَ الذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ
Do you approach males among the worlds
26:166 وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَاجِكُم ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ عَادُونَ
And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing."
26:167 قَالُوا لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَا لُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُخْرَجِينَ
They said, "If you do not desist, O Lot, you will surely be of those evicted."
26:168 قَالَ إِنِّي لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ الْقَالِينَ
He said, "Indeed, I am, toward your deed, of those who detest [it].
26:169 رَبِّ نَجِّنِي وَأَهْلِي مِمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ
My Lord, save me and my family from [the consequence of] what they do."
26:170 فَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ أَجْمَعِينَ
So We saved him and his family, all,
26:171 إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِي الْغَابِرِينَ
Except an old woman among those who remained behind.
26:172 ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا الْآخَرِينَ
Then We destroyed the others.
26:173 وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرًا ۖ فَسَاءَ مَطَرُ الْمُنذَرِينَ
And We rained upon them a rain [of stones], and evil was the rain of those who were warned.
26:174 إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
26:175 وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
26:176 كَذَّبَ أَصْحَابُ الْأَيْكَةِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
The companions of the thicket denied the messengers
26:177 إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ شُعَيْبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
When Shu'ayb said to them, "Will you not fear Allah ?
26:178 إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.
26:179 فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
So fear Allah and obey me.
26:180 وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
26:181 أَوْفُوا الْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا مِنَ الْمُخْسِرِينَ
Give full measure and do not be of those who cause loss.
26:182 وَزِنُوا بِالْقِسْطَاسِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ
And weigh with an even balance.
26:183 وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ أَشْيَاءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ
And do not deprive people of their due and do not commit abuse on earth, spreading corruption.
26:184 وَاتَّقُوا الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ وَالْجِبِلَّةَ الْأَوَّلِينَ
And fear He who created you and the former creation."
26:185 قَالُوا إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مِنَ الْمُسَحَّرِينَ
They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.
26:186 وَمَا أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ
You are but a man like ourselves, and indeed, we think you are among the liars.
26:187 فَأَسْقِطْ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًا مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ
o cause to fall upon us fragments of the sky, if you should be of the truthful."
26:188 قَالَ رَبِّي أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ
He said, "My Lord is most knowing of what you do."
26:189 فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ الظُّلَّةِ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
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 لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
26:191 وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
26:192 وَإِنَّهُ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
And indeed, the Qur'an is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds.
26:193 نَزَلَ بِهِ الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ
The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down
26:194 عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُنذِرِينَ
Upon your heart, [O Muhammad] - that you may be of the warners -
26:195 بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِيٍّ مُّبِينٍ
In a clear Arabic language.
26:196 وَإِنَّهُ لَفِي زُبُرِ الْأَوَّلِينَ
And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples.
26:197 أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ آيَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُ عُلَمَاءُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ
And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel?
26:198 وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَاهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ الْأَعْجَمِينَ
And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners
26:199 فَقَرَأَهُ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا بِهِ مُؤْمِنِينَ
And he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it.
26:200 كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَاهُ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ
Thus have We inserted disbelief into the hearts of the criminals.
26:201 لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا الْعَذَابَ الْأَلِيمَ
They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.
26:202 فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not.
26:203 فَيَقُولُوا هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ
And they will say, "May we be reprieved?"
26:204 أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
So for Our punishment are they impatient?
26:205 أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَاهُمْ سِنِينَ
Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years
26:206 ثُمَّ جَاءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا يُوعَدُونَ
And then there came to them that which they were promised?
26:207 مَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يُمَتَّعُونَ
They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.
26:208 وَمَا أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ
And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners
26:209 ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ
As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.
26:210 وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ الشَّيَاطِينُ
And the devils have not brought the revelation down.
26:211 وَمَا يَنبَغِي لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ
It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able.
26:212 إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ
Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed.
26:213 فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا آخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُعَذَّبِينَ
So do not invoke with Allah another deity and [thus] be among the punished.
26:214 وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الْأَقْرَبِينَ
And warn, [O Muhammad], your closest kindred.
26:215 وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
And lower your wing to those who follow you of the believers.
26:216 فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ
And if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing."
26:217 وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى الْعَزِيزِ الرَّحِيمِ
And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,
26:218 الَّذِي يَرَاكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ
Who sees you when you arise
26:219 وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِي السَّاجِدِينَ
And your movement among those who prostrate.
26:220 إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
26:221 هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ الشَّيَاطِينُ
Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?
26:222 تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ
They descend upon every sinful liar.
26:223 يُلْقُونَ السَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَاذِبُونَ
They pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars.
26:224 وَالشُّعَرَاءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الْغَاوُونَ
And the poets - [only] the deviators follow them;
26:225 أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِي كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ
Do you not see that in every valley they roam
26:226 وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ
And that they say what they do not do? -
26:227 إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَانتَصَرُوا مِن بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ
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.
