| 26:1 | | T?. S?n. M?m |
| 26:2 | | These are verses of the Book (that makes the truth) clear |
| 26:3 | | Perhaps you will kill yourself with grief, for that they do not become Believers |
| 26:4 | | If We please, We should send down upon them a sign from the heaven to which they would bend their necks in humility |
| 26:5 | | And never comes there to them a new reminder from the Beneficent (Allah), but they turn away from it |
| 26:6 | | So they have indeed rejected (it), therefore the news of that which they used to mock shall soon come to them |
| 26:7 | | 7. Do they not look at the earth - how many of every noble kind We have caused to grow in it |
| 26:8 | | Verily in that there is a sign, but most of them do not believe |
| 26:9 | | And verily, your Lord certainly is He the Mighty, the Merciful |
| 26:10 | | 10. And when your Lord called out to Moses (saying): �Go to the unjust people |
| 26:11 | | The people of pharaoh; will they not fear (Allah)? |
| 26:12 | | Said (Moses): �O my Lord! Surely I fear that they will reject me? |
| 26:13 | | And my breast straitens, and my tongue is not eloquent, therefore sent for Aaron (to help me) |
| 26:14 | | And they have a crime against me, therefore I fear that they may slay me |
| 26:15 | | Said (Allah): 'By no means, so go you both with Our signs, surely We are with you, hearing' |
| 26:16 | | So go to Pharaoh and say: 'Verily we (two) are the Messengers of the Lord of the worlds |
| 26:17 | | Send you with us the Children of Israel' |
| 26:18 | | Said (Pharaoh): 'Did we not cherish you as a child among us, and you tarried among us for (many) years of your life |
| 26:19 | | And you did that your deed which you did, and you are one of the ungrateful |
| 26:20 | | Said (Moses): 'I did it then, when I was (as you think) in error' |
| 26:21 | | So I fled from you when I feared you, then my Lord granted me wisdom and made me of the messenger |
| 26:22 | | And is it a favour with which you reproach me that you have enslaved the Children of Israel |
| 26:23 | | Pharaoh said: 'And what is the Lord of the woilds? |
| 26:24 | | He said: '(He is) the Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you have faith' |
| 26:25 | | Pharaoh said to those around him: 'Do you not hear (what he says)? |
| 26:26 | | (Moses) said: 'Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of old' |
| 26:31 | | (Pharaoh) said: 'Bring it then, if you are of the truthful ones' |
| 26:32 | | So he cast down his rod, and behold, it was a clear serpent |
| 26:33 | | And he drew out his hand, then behold, it was radiant white to the beholders |
| 26:34 | | (Pharaoh) said to the chiefs around him: �Verily this is a skilled sorcerer |
| 26:35 | | Who intends to drive you out of your land with his sorcery, what do you command? |
| 26:36 | | They said: 'Give him (Moses) and his brother respite, and send heralds into the cities to collect' |
| 26:37 | | (That) they bring to you all skilful sorcerers |
| 26:38 | | So the sorcerers were got together for the appointment of a day well-known |
| 26:39 | | And it was said to the people: 'Will you assemble? |
| 26:40 | | Haply we may follow the sorcerers if they are victors |
| 26:41 | | Then, when the sorcerers came, they said to Pharaoh: 'Shall we have a reward if we should be the victors? |
| 26:42 | | (Pharaoh) said: 'Yes, and surely you will then be among the near-stationed' |
| 26:43 | | Moses said to them: 'Cast what you are going to Cast' |
| 26:44 | | So they cast down their ropes and their rods, and said: 'By Pharaoh's dignity we shall certainly be the victors' |
| 26:45 | | Then Moses cast down his rod, when, behold, it swallowed up that which they falsely displayed |
| 26:46 | | Then the sorcerers were flung prostrate |
| 26:47 | | They said: 'We believe in the Lord of the worlds' |
| 26:48 | | The Lord of Moses and Aaron' |
| 26:49 | | (Pharaoh) said: 'You have believed in him before I give you leave. Verily,he is the chief of you who taught you the sorcery; so, soon shall you know! Certainly I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and certainly I will crucify you all' |
| 26:50 | | They said: 'No matter! Verily we unto our Lord shall Return' |
| 26:51 | | Verily we hope that our Lord will forgive us our faults, since we are the first of the believers' |
| 26:52 | | And We revealed unto Moses (saying): �Go you forth with My servants by night, for verily you will be pursued� |
| 26:53 | | Then Pharaoh sent heralds into the cites |
| 26:54 | | Verily these (Israelites) are only a small group |
| 26:55 | | And verily they have enraged us |
| 26:56 | | And verily we are a host on our guard |
| 26:57 | | So We expelled them from the gardens and the springs |
| 26:58 | | And treasures and a goodly dwelling |
| 26:59 | | Thus (did We drown them) and We made the Children of Israel the inheritors to them |
| 26:60 | | Then they (Pharaoh's host) pursued them at sunrise |
| 26:61 | | So when the two parties saw each other, the companions of Moses said: 'Indeed we are overtaken' |
| 26:62 | | (Moses) said: ' By no means! Verily my Lord is with me, soon will He gtiide me (to safety)' |
| 26:63 | | Then We revealed to Moses: 'Strike the sea with your staff', then it clove asunder and each part became like a huge mountain |
| 26:64 | | Then We made the other party approach thither |
| 26:65 | | And We saved Moses and those with him all together |
| 26:66 | | Then We drownedthe others |
| 26:67 | | Verily in this is a sign, yet most of them do not believe |
| 26:68 | | And verily your Lord, certainly He is the Mighty, the Merciful |
| 26:69 | | And recite unto them the story of Abraham |
| 26:70 | | When he said to his father and his people: �What do you worship? |
| 26:71 | | They said: �We worship idols, and we are ever devoted unto them� |
| 26:72 | | Said (Abraham): 'Do they hear you when you call (them)? |
| 26:73 | | Or do they profit you, or harm |
| 26:74 | | They said: 'Nay, but we found our fathers so doing' |
| 26:75 | | He said: 'Have you then considered what you have been worshipping |
| 26:76 | | You and your fathers before you? |
| 26:77 | | Surely they are enemies to me, save the Lord of the Worlds |
| 26:78 | | Who created me, and Himself guides me |
| 26:79 | | And Himself feeds me and provides me to drink |
| 26:80 | | And whenever I am sick, then He heals me |
| 26:81 | | And Who caused me to die, then gives me life |
| 26:82 | | And Who, I hope, will forgive me my mistakes on the Day of Judgment |
| 26:83 | | My Lord! Bestow wisdom on me, and join me with the righteous |
| 26:84 | | And ordain for me a goodly mention among posterity |
| 26:85 | | And make me of the heirs of the garden of bliss |
| 26:86 | | And forgive my father, verily, he is of those astray |
| 26:87 | | And abase me not on the Day when (men) will be raised up |
| 26:88 | | The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail |
| 26:89 | | Except for him who comes to Allah with a pure heart |
| 26:90 | | And the Paradise shall be brought near for the pious |
| 26:91 | | And the Hell shall appear plainly to the erring ones |
| 26:92 | | And it shall be said to them: 'Where are those that you used to worship |
| 26:93 | | Besides Allah? Do they help you or help themselves? |
| 26:94 | | So they shall be thrown into it, - they and the erring ones |
| 26:95 | | And the hosts of 'Iblis, all together |
| 26:96 | | And they will say, when they are mutually quarrelling therein |
| 26:97 | | By Allah! We were certainly in manifest error |
| 26:98 | | When we made you equal to the Lord of the worlds |
| 26:99 | | And none but the guilty ones led us astray |
| 26:100 | | Now, then we have no intercessors |
| 26:101 | | Nor a single intimate friend |
| 26:102 | | Now if we only had a chance of return, we would be of the believers |
| 26:103 | | Verily in this is a sign but most of them do not believe |
| 26:104 | | And verily your Lord is He the Mighty, the Merciful |
| 26:109 | | And do not ask you any recompense for it, my recompense is only from the Lord of the worlds |
| 26:110 | | Then be in awe of Allah and obey me |
| 26:111 | | They said: 'Shall we believe in you while the meanest follow you? |
| 26:112 | | He said: 'No knowledge have I of what they were doing |
| 26:113 | | Their reckoning is only on my Lord, if you could (but) perceive |
| 26:114 | | And I am not going to drive away the believers |
| 26:115 | | I am naught but a plain warner |
| 26:116 | | They said: 'If you desist not, O Noah! you shall surely be one of the stoned (to death)' |
| 26:117 | | Said (Noah): 'My Lord! Verily my people have belied me |
| 26:118 | | Judge You, then, between me and them, and deliver me and the believers that are with me' |
| 26:119 | | So We delivered him, and those with him, in the laden Ark |
| 26:120 | | Then We drowned the rest afterwards |
| 26:121 | | Verily in that is a sign, but most of them do not believe |
| 26:122 | | And verily your Lord, He is the Mighty, the Merciful |
| 26:123 | | The �?d (people) belied the messengers |
| 26:124 | | When their brother Hud said to them: �Will you not fear (Allah) |
| 26:125 | | Verily I am unto you a trustworthy messenger |
| 26:126 | | Then be in awe of Allah and obey me |
| 26:127 | | And I do not ask you any recompense for it, my recompense is only from the Lord of the worlds |
| 26:128 | | Do you build a landmark on every height for vain delight |
| 26:129 | | And you get strong buildings in the hope of living therein for ever |
| 26:130 | | When you assault, you assault like tyrants |
| 26:131 | | Then be in awe of Allah and obey me |
| 26:132 | | And be in awe of Him Who has succoured you with what you know |
| 26:133 | | He has succoured you with cattle and Children |
| 26:134 | | And gardens and springs |
| 26:135 | | Verily I fear for you the chastisement of a Great Day |
| 26:136 | | They said: 'It is the same to us whether you admonish or be not of the admonishers |
| 26:137 | | This (preaching) is naught but a custom of the ancients |
| 26:138 | | And we are not going to be punished |
| 26:139 | | So they belied him, then We destroyed them; verily in this is a sign; but most of them do not believe |
| 26:140 | | And verily your Lord, certainly He is the Mighty,the Merciful |
| 26:151 | | And do not obey the bidding of the extravagant |
| 26:152 | | Those who make mischief in the earth, and amend not |
| 26:153 | | They said: 'You are only of the bewitched ones' |
| 26:154 | | You are no more than a mortal, like us, so bring you a sign if you are one of the truthful |
| 26:155 | | He said: 'Here is a she-camel; she shall have her portion of water (one day), and you have your portion of water on an appointed day' |
| 26:156 | | And do not touch her with evil, least the punishment of a grievous day should overtake you |
| 26:157 | | Then they hamstrung her, and became regretful |
| 26:158 | | So the punishment overtook them; verily in this there is sign, but most of them do not believe |
| 26:159 | | And verily your Lord, He is certainly the Mighty,the Merciful |
| 26:165 | | Of all the creatures in the world, do you come to the males |
| 26:166 | | And leave what your Lord has created for you of your wives? Nay, you are a people transgressing (the limits |
| 26:167 | | They said: 'If you desist not, O L?t! you shall surely be of those who are expelled' |
| 26:168 | | He said: 'I do detest your doings' |
| 26:169 | | My Lord! deliver me and my family from (the vice of) what they do |
| 26:170 | | So, We did deliver him and his family all |
| 26:171 | | Except an old woman who remained behind |
| 26:172 | | Then We destroyed the others |
| 26:173 | | We rained down on them a shower (of brimstone),and evil is the rain of them that were warned |
| 26:174 | | Verily in this is a sign, but most of them do not believe |
| 26:175 | | And verily your Lord, certainly He is the Mighty, the Merciful |
| 26:176 | | The dwellers of the Forest belied the messengers |
| 26:177 | | When Shu�ayb said to them: �Will you not fear (Allah) |
| 26:178 | | Verily I am unto you a trustworthy messenger |
| 26:179 | | Then be in awe of Allah and obey me |
| 26:180 | | And I do not ask you any recompense for it, myrecompense is only from the Lord of the worlds |
| 26:181 | | Fill up the measure, and be not of the cheaters |
| 26:182 | | And weigh (things) with a right balance |
| 26:183 | | And do not defraud people in their (due) goods, and do not act corruptly in the earth, making mischief |
| 26:184 | | And fear Him Who created you and the former generations |
| 26:185 | | They said: 'Verily you are only of those bewitched' |
| 26:186 | | And you are naught but a mortal like us; and we think that you are of the liars |
| 26:187 | | Therefore cause a piece of the sky to fall on us, if you are one of the truthful |
| 26:188 | | He (Shu'ayb) said: 'My Lord knows best what you do' |
| 26:189 | | But they belied him, then there seized them the chastisement of the Day of Shadow. Verily it was a chastisement of a grievous day |
| 26:190 | | Verily there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe |
| 26:191 | | And verily your Lord, certainly He is the Mighty, the Merciful |
| 26:192 | | And verily this (Qur�?n) is from the Lord of the Worlds |
| 26:193 | | The Faithful Spirit has descended with it |
| 26:194 | | Upon your heart that you may be of the warners |
| 26:195 | | In the perspicuous Arabic language |
| 26:196 | | And verily it is (foretold) in the (heavenly) Books of the ancients |
| 26:197 | | Is it not a sign to them that the learned of the Children of Israel know it (as true) |
| 26:198 | | And if We had sent it down to any of the non-Arabs |
| 26:199 | | And he had recited it to them, they would not have believed in it |
| 26:200 | | Thus We caused it passing into the hearts of the sinners |
| 26:201 | | (But) they will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment |
| 26:202 | | And it shall come upon them all of a sudden, while they are not aware |
| 26:203 | | Then they will say: 'Shall we be respited? |
| 26:204 | | Do they then ask for Our Chastisement to be hastened on |
| 26:205 | | Have you then considered if We let them enjoy themselves for years |
| 26:206 | | Then there comes to them that (punishment) which they were promised |
| 26:207 | | That which they were made to enjoy shall not avail them |
| 26:208 | | And We did not destroy any town but it had its warners |
| 26:209 | | To remind (them) and never are We unjust |
| 26:210 | | And the Satans have not bring it down |
| 26:211 | | And it behooves them not, nor they can do (it) |
| 26:212 | | Verily they are banished from hearing it |
| 26:213 | | So call you not upon another god with Allah, lest you will be one of the chastised (ones) |
| 26:218 | | He Who sees you when you stand up (in prayer) |
| 26:219 | | And your movements among those who prostrate themselves |
| 26:220 | | Verily He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing |
| 26:224 | | And the poets, follow them the erring ones |
| 26:225 | | Do you not see that they wander about be wildered in every valley |
| 26:226 | | And that they say that which they do not do |
| 26:227 | | Except those who believe and do righteous deeds, and remember Allah much, and defend themselves after being wronged; and soon those who act unjustly shall know to what final place of turning they shall turn back |
