| 26:1 | | Say, "My Fosterer does not (even) care for you all if you do not pray (to Him), and you have denied so (the consequence of) it will be inevitable." (R 6, P 18 ¼ ) |
| 26:2 | | Taa Siin Miim. |
| 26:3 | | Those are the signs of the book that makes clear. |
| 26:4 | | You will perhaps kill yourself with grief because they do not believe. |
| 26:5 | | If We will, We can send down on them a sign from the sky, so that their necks would remain bowed down before it. |
| 26:6 | | And there does not come to them any new reminder from the Beneficent (Allah) but they turn away from it. |
| 26:7 | | So they have denied (it), therefore the news of that which they mock at, will come to them. |
| 26:8 | | Did they not see towards the earth how many beneficial (things) of every kind have We caused to grow in it? |
| 26:9 | | There is certainly a sign in that but the majority of them does not believe. |
| 26:10 | | And your Fosterer ! He is certainly the Mighty, the Merciful. |
| 26:11 | | And when your Fosterer called out to Musa, that, "Go to the unjust people, |
| 26:12 | | people of Firawn. Will they not guard (against evil)?" |
| 26:13 | | He said, "My Fosterer! I fear that they will deny me, |
| 26:14 | | further, my bosom straitens and my language is not fluent, so send for Harun (to help me). |
| 26:15 | | And they have (the charge of) a crime against me so I fear that they will kill me." |
| 26:16 | | He said, "By no means, so both of you go with Our signs, We are with you, Hearing. |
| 26:17 | | So go to Firawn then say: We are sent (by) the Fosterer of the worlds (with a message) |
| 26:18 | | that you should send the children of Israel with us." |
| 26:19 | | He (Firawn) said, "Were you not fostered among us as a child? And you did stay among us for many years of your life, |
| 26:20 | | and you did that deed of yours which you did and you are of the ungrateful ones." |
| 26:21 | | He said, "I did it then, when I was of those in error, |
| 26:22 | | so I fled from you when I feared you, but my Fosterer granted me wisdom and made me one of the messengers. |
| 26:23 | | Now (should) that favour with which you favoured me (become the cause) for your enslaving the children of Isreal?” |
| 26:24 | | Firawn said, "And who is the Fosterer of the worlds?" |
| 26:25 | | He said, "The Fosterer of the skies and the earth and that which is between them, if you (want) to be of those who are certain." |
| 26:26 | | He said to those around him, "Do you not hear?" |
| 26:27 | | He said, "Your Fosterer and the Fosterer of your ancient fathers." |
| 26:28 | | He said, "Your messenger who has been sent to you is certainly possessed by jinn." |
| 26:29 | | He said, "Fosterer of the east and the west and that which is between them, if you have sense." |
| 26:30 | | He said, "If you take a god other than me I will definitely place you among the prisoners." |
| 26:31 | | He said, "Even if I bring to you something as a clear proof?" |
| 26:32 | | He said, "Then bring it, if you are of the truthful ones." |
| 26:33 | | So he threw down his staff when it became a clear serpent, |
| 26:34 | | and he drew out his hand when it became white for those who were seeing. |
| 26:35 | | He (Firawn) said to the leaders (of his community) around him, "This is certainly a learned magician, |
| 26:36 | | he intends to drive you out from your land by his magic, so what do you advise?" |
| 26:37 | | They said, "Keep him and his brother (waiting) in hope and send into the cities (your officials) who gather (people) |
| 26:38 | | (so that) they should bring to you every learned magician." |
| 26:39 | | So the magicians were gathered at the appointed time on a known day. |
| 26:40 | | And it was said to the people, "Will you gather, |
| 26:41 | | so that we may follow the magicians if they are the winners?" |
| 26:42 | | So when the magicians came, they said to Firawn, "Is there a sure reward for us if we are the winners?" |
| 26:43 | | He said, "Yes, then you will certainly be of those who are near (to me)." |
| 26:44 | | Musa said to them, "Cast down what you are going to cast down." |
| 26:45 | | So they cast down their ropes and their rods and said, "By the might of Firawn we will certainly be winners." |
| 26:46 | | Then Musa cast down his staff when it swallowed that which they had falsely devised. |
| 26:47 | | Consequently the magicians were thrown down prostrating. |
| 26:48 | | They said, "We believe in the Fosterer of the worlds, |
| 26:49 | | Fosterer of Musa and Harun." |
| 26:50 | | He (Firawn) said, "You believe in him before I give you permission, he is certainly your chief who taught you magic, but you will know, I will definitely cut off your hands and your feet from opposite sides and I will definitely crucify you all together." |
| 26:51 | | They said, "No harm, we will return to our Fosterer, |
| 26:52 | | we certainly hope that our Fosterer will protectively forgive us our faults, because we are the first of the believers." |
| 26:53 | | And We communicated to Musa that, "Take away my servants by night, you will be pursued." |
| 26:54 | | So Firawn sent into the cities (his officials) who gathered (people) |
| 26:55 | | (saying), "They are certainly a small party |
| 26:56 | | and they have angered us |
| 26:57 | | and we are an alert army." |
| 26:58 | | Thus did We drive them out from gardens and springs |
| 26:59 | | and treasures and an honoured position. |
| 26:60 | | Like that (it happened). And We made the children of Israel to inherit them. |
| 26:61 | | So they pursued them at sunrise. |
| 26:62 | | So when the two parties saw each other, the companions of Musa said, "We are caught." |
| 26:63 | | He said, "By no means, My Fosterer is certainly with me, He will guide me." |
| 26:64 | | So We communicated to Musa that, "Strike the sea with your staff," so it was split and each part became like a great mountain. |
| 26:65 | | And We brought others near, there (at the same place), |
| 26:66 | | and We delivered Musa and those with him, all together, |
| 26:67 | | then We drowned the others. |
| 26:68 | | In that there is certainly a sign, but the majority of them does not believe. |
| 26:69 | | And your Fosterer, He is certainly the Mighty, the Merciful. |
| 26:70 | | when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?" |
| 26:71 | | They said, "We worship idols and we will remain sticking to them." |
| 26:72 | | He said, "Do they listen to you when you pray to (them) |
| 26:73 | | or benefit you or harm you?" |
| 26:74 | | They said, "No, we found our fathers doing like that." |
| 26:75 | | He said, "Then do you see, that which you worship, |
| 26:76 | | you and your fathers before you? |
| 26:77 | | For they are enemies to me except the Fosterer of the worlds, |
| 26:78 | | Who created me, then He it is Who guides me |
| 26:79 | | and Who feeds me and gives me to drink |
| 26:80 | | and when I am sick, then He it is Who cures me |
| 26:81 | | and Who will cause me to die, then give me life (again) |
| 26:82 | | and (from) Whom I hope, that He will protectively forgive me my mistakes on the day of judgment. |
| 26:83 | | My Fosterer! grant me wisdom and join me with the righteous |
| 26:84 | | and assign for me a true mention among later (generations), |
| 26:85 | | and place me among the inheritors of the garden of bliss, |
| 26:86 | | and protectively forgive my father, he is certainly among those who are astray, |
| 26:87 | | and do not disgrace me on the day they are raised (again), |
| 26:88 | | the day on which neither wealth nor sons will benefit, |
| 26:89 | | except him who comes to Allah with a pure heart." |
| 26:90 | | And the garden will be brought near for those who guard (against evil). |
| 26:91 | | And the hell will be made manifest to the erring ones. |
| 26:92 | | And it will be said to them, "Where are those whom you used to worship |
| 26:93 | | besides Allah? Can they help you or help themselves?" |
| 26:94 | | Then they will be thrown headlong into it, they and the misleaders |
| 26:95 | | and the army of Iblis (devil), all together. |
| 26:96 | | They will say while they quarrel therein, |
| 26:97 | | "By Allah, we were certainly in clear error |
| 26:98 | | when we considered you equal to the Fosterer of the worlds, |
| 26:99 | | and no one has misled us except the criminals, |
| 26:100 | | so we have no mediators |
| 26:101 | | and no intimate friend. |
| 26:102 | | So if we are given (another chance to) return (to the world), then we will certainly be of those who believe." |
| 26:103 | | There is certainly a sign in that, but the majority of them does not believe. |
| 26:104 | | And your Fosterer, He is certainly the Mighty, the Merciful. |
| 26:105 | | The people of Nuh denied the messengers |
| 26:106 | | when their brother Nuh said to them, "Will you not guard (against evil)? |
| 26:107 | | I am certainly a trustworthy messenger to you, |
| 26:108 | | so fear Allah and obey me, |
| 26:109 | | and l do not ask you for any reward for it, my reward is with none but the Fosterer of the worlds, |
| 26:110 | | so fear Allah and obey me." |
| 26:111 | | They said, "Shall we believe in you when the worst (people) follow you?" |
| 26:112 | | He said, "And what knowledge do I have of what they do?" |
| 26:113 | | (The responsibility of taking) their account is on none but my Fosterer, if you (could only) realize. |
| 26:114 | | And I am not (supposed) to drive away the believers, |
| 26:115 | | I am nothing but a plain warner." |
| 26:116 | | They said, "If you do not desist, O Nuh! you will definitely be of those who are stoned (to death)." |
| 26:117 | | He said, "My Fosterer! my people have certainly denied me, |
| 26:118 | | so decide between me and them (by pronouncing) a judgment, and deliver me and those of the believers who are with me." |
| 26:119 | | So We delivered him and those with him, in the loaded ship. |
| 26:120 | | Then after that We drowned those who remained behind. |
| 26:121 | | There is certainly a sign in that, but the majority of them does not believe. |
| 26:122 | | And your Fosterer, He is certainly the Mighty, the Merciful. |
| 26:123 | | The (people of) Aad denied the messengers |
| 26:124 | | when their brother Hud said to them, "Will you not guard (against evil)? |
| 26:125 | | I am certainly a trustworthy messenger to you |
| 26:126 | | so fear Allah and obey me, |
| 26:127 | | and I do not ask you for any reward for it, my reward is with none but the Fosterer of the worlds. |
| 26:128 | | Do you build a monument on every high place, without any purpose? |
| 26:129 | | And you take (for dwellings) strong fortresses that perhaps you may stay (in them for ever). |
| 26:130 | | And when you take hold (of people), you take hold (of them) as tyrants. |
| 26:131 | | So fear Allah and obey me. |
| 26:132 | | And fear Him Who helped you with that which you know, |
| 26:133 | | He has helped you with cattle and sons |
| 26:134 | | and gardens and springs, |
| 26:135 | | I certainly fear for you the punishment of the great day." |
| 26:136 | | They said, "It is equal to us whether you admonish or you do not be of those who admonish. |
| 26:137 | | This is nothing but a customary (warning) of the ancient, |
| 26:138 | | and we will not be punished." |
| 26:139 | | Thus they denied him, therefore We destroyed them, there is certainly a sign in that, but the majority of them does not believe. |
| 26:140 | | And your Fosterer, He is certainly the Mighty, the Merciful. |
| 26:141 | | The (people of) Samood denied the messengers |
| 26:142 | | when their brother Saleh said to them, "Will you not guard (against evil)? |
| 26:143 | | I am certainly a trustworthy messenger to you |
| 26:144 | | so fear Allah and obey me. |
| 26:145 | | And I do not ask you for any reward for it, my reward is with none but the Fosterer of the worlds. |
| 26:146 | | Will you be left secure in that which is here: |
| 26:147 | | in gardens and springs |
| 26:148 | | and cultivations and date palms, the spathes of which break (due to the weight of the fruit). |
| 26:149 | | And you exultingly carve houses out of mountains, |
| 26:150 | | so fear Allah and obey me, |
| 26:151 | | and do not obey the command of the extravagant |
| 26:152 | | who cause corruption in the earth and do not act aright." |
| 26:153 | | They said, "You are only one of the bewitched,* * One under the influence of magic. |
| 26:154 | | you are nothing but a man like us, so bring a sign if you are of the truthful ones." |
| 26:155 | | He said, "This is a she-camel, for it there (is a portion of water for) drinking and for you (a portion of water for) drinking on a known day. |
| 26:156 | | And do not afflict her with evil lest the punishment of a great day seize you." |
| 26:157 | | But they stabbed her then became regretters. |
| 26:158 | | So the punishment seized them, there is certainly a sign in that, but the majority of them does not believe. |
| 26:159 | | And your Fosterer, He is certainly the Mighty, the Merciful. (R 8) |
| 26:160 | | The people of Lut denied the messengers |
| 26:161 | | when their brother Lut said to them, "Will you not guard (against evil)? |
| 26:162 | | I am certainly a trustworthy messenger to you |
| 26:163 | | so fear Allah and obey me, |
| 26:164 | | and I do not ask you for any reward for it, my reward is with none but the Fosterer of the worlds. |
| 26:165 | | What! of all creatures you approach males, |
| 26:166 | | and leave those of your wives whom your Fosterer has created for you? No, you are a transgressing people." |
| 26:167 | | They said, "If you do not desist, O Lut! you will definitely be of those who are driven out." |
| 26:168 | | He said, "I am certainly of those who hate your acts. |
| 26:169 | | My Fosterer ! deliver me and my followers from that which they do." |
| 26:170 | | So We delivered him and his followers all together |
| 26:171 | | except an old woman, (who was) among those who remained behind. |
| 26:172 | | Then We destroyed the others |
| 26:173 | | and We rained on them a rain, so evil was the rain of those who were warned. |
| 26:174 | | There is certainly a sign in that, but the majority of them does not believe. |
| 26:175 | | And your Fosterer, He is certainly the Mighty, the Merciful (R 9) |
| 26:176 | | The inhabitants of the jungle denied the messengers |
| 26:177 | | when Shuaib said to them, "Will you not guard (against evil)? |
| 26:178 | | I am certainly a trustworthy messenger to you |
| 26:179 | | so fear Allah and obey me, |
| 26:180 | | and I do not ask you for any reward for it, my reward is with none but the Fosterer of the worlds. |
| 26:181 | | Give back full measure and do not be of those who cause loss. |
| 26:182 | | And weigh with a balance that is straight (correct), |
| 26:183 | | and do not give less to people, the things due to them, and do not cause disturbance in the earth being corrupt, |
| 26:184 | | and fear Him Who created you and the ancient generations." |
| 26:185 | | They said, "You are only one of the bewitched, |
| 26:186 | | and you are nothing but a man like us, and our guess about you is that you are of those who lie. |
| 26:187 | | Then make pieces from the sky to fall on us if you are of the truthful ones." |
| 26:188 | | He said, "My Fosterer knows best about what you do." |
| 26:189 | | So they denied him therefore the punishment of the over shadowing cloud seized them, it was certainly a punishment of a great day. |
| 26:190 | | There is certainly a sign in that, but the majority of them does not believe. |
| 26:191 | | And your Fosterer, He is certainly the Mighty, the Merciful. |
| 26:192 | | And the (Quran) has certainly been sent down by the Fosterer of the worlds, |
| 26:193 | | the trustworthy spirit came down with it |
| 26:194 | | on your heart that you may be (one) of the warners |
| 26:195 | | in plain Arabic language |
| 26:196 | | and it is (mentioned) in ancient scriptures (too). |
| 26:197 | | Is it not a sign for them that the learned (men among) the children of Israel know it? |
| 26:198 | | And had We sent it down on any of the foreigners |
| 26:199 | | and had he recited it to them, they would not have believed in it. |
| 26:200 | | Thus did We cause it to enter into the hearts of the criminals: |
| 26:201 | | (that) they should not believe in it till they see the painful punishment, |
| 26:202 | | which will come upon them suddenly while they are not conscious, |
| 26:203 | | then they will say, "Shall we be given time (for amendment)?" |
| 26:204 | | What ! do they still seek to hasten on Our punishment? |
| 26:205 | | Then do you see? If We make them enjoy for years |
| 26:206 | | then there comes to them that which they were promised. |
| 26:207 | | . (at that time), that which they were made to enjoy will not be of any use to them. |
| 26:208 | | And We did not destroy any town but it had its warners |
| 26:209 | | (for) reminding, and We are not unjust. |
| 26:210 | | And the devils have not come down with the (Quran), |
| 26:211 | | and it neither suits them nor are they capable (of doing it), |
| 26:212 | | (on the contrary) they have been removed far away (even) from hearing (it). |
| 26:213 | | So do not pray to another (presumed) god with Allah, lest you be of those who are punished. |
| 26:214 | | And warn your family (consisting) of close relatives. |
| 26:215 | | And lower your wing for him who follows you from among the believers. |
| 26:216 | | And if they disobey you then say, "I am certainly free of that which you do." |
| 26:217 | | And put your trust in the Mighty, the Merciful, |
| 26:218 | | Who sees you when you stand |
| 26:219 | | and your movements among those who prostrate. |
| 26:220 | | He is certainly the Hearing, the Knowing. |
| 26:221 | | Should I inform you (of those) on whom the devils come down? |
| 26:222 | | 22. They come down on every liar, sinner, |
| 26:223 | | they deliver hearsay and most of them are liars. |
| 26:224 | | And the poets, those in error follow them. |
| 26:225 | | Do you not see that they wander distracted in every valley |
| 26:226 | | and that they say that which they do not practice, |
| 26:227 | | except those who believe and do righteous works and remember Allah much, and defend themselves after the in-justice that is done to them? And those who are unjust will know, to which place of turning back they will turn back. |
