| 26:1 | | T. S. M. (Ta. Sin. Mim. |
| 26:2 | | These are verses of the clear (and clarifying) book |
| 26:3 | | You may kill yourself with grief because they do not become believers |
| 26:4 | | If We want, We send down a sign to them from the sky so their necks bend in humility for it |
| 26:5 | | No new reminder comes to them from the beneficent, unless they turn away from it |
| 26:6 | | They have denied, so the news of what they used to ridicule it is going to come to them |
| 26:7 | | Or did they not look at the earth, that how many of all kind of splendid plants did We grow in it |
| 26:8 | | Indeed there is a sign in that, and most of them are not believers |
| 26:9 | | And indeed your Master, He is the powerful and the merciful |
| 26:10 | | And (remember) when your Master called Moses: go to the wrongdoing people |
| 26:11 | | people of Pharaoh, (and ask) would they not be cautious (of God) |
| 26:12 | | He said: my Master, I am afraid that they deny me |
| 26:13 | | and my chest becomes tight and my tongue stutters, so send (the message) to Aaron |
| 26:14 | | And they have a charge against me, so I am afraid that they kill me |
| 26:15 | | He (God) said: no way, you two go with Our signs, We are with you, listening |
| 26:16 | | So you two go to Pharaoh and say: indeed we are messengers of the Master of Human kind |
| 26:17 | | send the children of Israel with us |
| 26:18 | | He (Pharaoh) said: did we not bring you up among us as a child, and you stayed among us for years of your life |
| 26:19 | | And you did your work that you did (and committed murder), and you are of the ungrateful ones |
| 26:20 | | He (Moses) said: I did it while I was of the lost ones (from the right path) |
| 26:21 | | then I ran away from you because I was afraid of you, then my Master gave me wisdom and made me of the messengers |
| 26:22 | | And that is a favor that you tell me off about it, that you enslaved children of Israel (and you did not enslave or kill me) |
| 26:23 | | Pharaoh said: and what is Master of humankind |
| 26:24 | | He (Moses) said: Master of the skies and the earth and whatever between them, if you are sure |
| 26:25 | | He said to those around him: do you not hear (what he says) |
| 26:26 | | He (Moses) said: your Master and Master of your forefathers |
| 26:27 | | He said (to the others): your messenger, the one who was sent to you is certainly crazy |
| 26:28 | | He (Moses) said: Master of the east and the west and whatever between them, if you understand |
| 26:29 | | He said: if you take any god other than me, I shall make you of the prisoners |
| 26:30 | | He (Moses) said: even if I bring you something obvious |
| 26:31 | | He said: then bring it, if you are of the truthful ones |
| 26:32 | | So he threw his cane and it immediately was a visible serpent |
| 26:33 | | And he took out his hand, and it was white to the viewers |
| 26:34 | | He said to the assembly around him: indeed this is a knowledgeable (and skillful) magician |
| 26:35 | | He wants to drive you out of your land with his magic, so what do you instruct |
| 26:36 | | They said: put him and his brother off (for a while) and send gatherers to the citie |
| 26:37 | | to bring you every skillful magician |
| 26:38 | | So the magicians were collected for an appointment on a known day. |
| 26:39 | | And people were told: would you come together |
| 26:40 | | We may follow the magicians if they are the winners |
| 26:41 | | So when the magicians came, they said to Pharaoh: is there a reward for us if we are the winners |
| 26:42 | | He said: yes, and then you will certainly be among the close ones |
| 26:43 | | Moses said to them: throw what you are throwing |
| 26:44 | | So they threw their ropes and their canes and they said: by Pharaoh’s power, we shall be the winners |
| 26:45 | | Then Moses threw his cane, and it immediately swallowed whatever they faked |
| 26:46 | | So the magicians fell, prostrating (and showing humbleness) |
| 26:47 | | They said: we believed in the Master of Human kind |
| 26:48 | | Master of Moses and Aaron |
| 26:49 | | He (Pharaoh) said: did you believe in him before I give you permission? He is certainly your superior, the one who taught you the magic, and you will certainly know that I shall cut off your hands and feet on opposite side, and I shall crucify you all |
| 26:50 | | They said: no problem, indeed we are returners to our Master |
| 26:51 | | Indeed we hope that our Master forgives us our faults because we are the first of the believers |
| 26:52 | | And We revealed to Moses: travel with My servants by night, indeed you will be followed |
| 26:53 | | So Pharaoh sent gatherers to the cities |
| 26:54 | | (saying) indeed these are a small group |
| 26:55 | | and they certainly angered u |
| 26:56 | | and we are all certainly alert (and ready) |
| 26:57 | | So We drove them out of gardens and springs |
| 26:58 | | and treasures and honorable position |
| 26:59 | | That is how it was, and We left them as inheritance for children of Israel. |
| 26:60 | | So they (Pharaoh’s army) followed them at sunrise |
| 26:61 | | So when the two crowds saw each other, companions of Moses said: indeed we will be caught |
| 26:62 | | He (Moses) said: no way, indeed my Master is with me, He is going to guide me |
| 26:63 | | And We revealed to Moses to strike the sea with your cane. So it opened up, and each side became like a great mountain |
| 26:64 | | And We brought the others (Pharaoh’s army) near there |
| 26:65 | | And We saved Moses and those with him altogether |
| 26:66 | | Then We drowned the others |
| 26:67 | | Indeed there is a sign in that, and most of them are not believers |
| 26:68 | | And indeed your Master is the powerful and the merciful |
| 26:69 | | And read Abraham’s story to them |
| 26:70 | | When he said to his father and his people: what do you serve |
| 26:71 | | They said: we serve idols, and we continue to be devoted to them |
| 26:72 | | He said: do they hear you when you call on them |
| 26:73 | | Or do they benefit you or harm you |
| 26:74 | | They said: no, but we found our fathers doing like this |
| 26:75 | | He said: did you think what you were serving |
| 26:76 | | you and your forefathers |
| 26:77 | | Indeed they are my enemies, except the Master of Human kind |
| 26:78 | | the One who created me, and He guides me |
| 26:79 | | and the One who gives me food and gives me drink |
| 26:80 | | and when I get sick, then He heals me |
| 26:81 | | and the One who make me die, then He makes me alive |
| 26:82 | | and the One who, I hope that He forgives my mistakes on the judgment day |
| 26:83 | | My Master, give me wisdom and join me with the righteous |
| 26:84 | | and give me a good name on the tongue of the later ones (and future generations) |
| 26:85 | | and make me among inheritors of garden of the delight |
| 26:86 | | and forgive my father, indeed he is of the lost ones |
| 26:87 | | and do not humiliate me on a day that they are raised |
| 26:88 | | a day that wealth and children have no benefit |
| 26:89 | | except anyone who brings a sound (and pure) heart to God |
| 26:90 | | And the garden is brought near for those who control themselves |
| 26:91 | | And the hellfire is made apparent to the misled ones. |
| 26:92 | | And it is said to them: where are what you were servin |
| 26:93 | | other than God? Can they help you or help themselves |
| 26:94 | | So they and the misled ones are thrown headfirst into it (hellfire) |
| 26:95 | | and troops of Iblis (Satan), altogether |
| 26:96 | | And while they dispute about it, they say |
| 26:97 | | by God that we were in an obvious error |
| 26:98 | | when we made you equal to the Master of Human kind. |
| 26:99 | | And no one misguided us except the guilty ones |
| 26:100 | | So, we do not have any mediator |
| 26:101 | | and no true friend |
| 26:102 | | And if there was a return for us (to live again), then we would become of the believers |
| 26:103 | | Indeed there is a sign in that, and most of them are not believers |
| 26:104 | | And indeed your Master is the powerful and the merciful |
| 26:105 | | People of Noah denied the messengers |
| 26:106 | | When their brother Noah said to them: would you not be cautious (of God) |
| 26:107 | | I am an honest messenger for you |
| 26:108 | | so be cautious of God and obey me |
| 26:109 | | And I do not ask you for any wage, for my wage is only responsibility of the Master of Human kind |
| 26:110 | | so be cautious of God and obey me |
| 26:111 | | They said: should we believe in you while the meanest (and the worst) follow you |
| 26:112 | | He said: I have no knowledge of what they used to do |
| 26:113 | | Their account is only upon my Master, if you realize |
| 26:114 | | And I do not drive away the believers |
| 26:115 | | I am only a clear warner |
| 26:116 | | They said: Noah, if you do not stop, you shall become among the stoned ones |
| 26:117 | | He said: my Master, indeed my people denied me |
| 26:118 | | so judge decisively (or open an opening) between me and them, and save me and anyone who is with me of the believers |
| 26:119 | | So We saved him and anyone with him in the loaded Ark |
| 26:120 | | Then afterward We drowned the rest |
| 26:121 | | Indeed there is a sign in that, and most of them are not believers |
| 26:122 | | And your Master is certainly powerful and merciful |
| 26:123 | | (People of) Aad denied the messengers |
| 26:124 | | when their brother Hud said to them: would you not be cautious (of God) |
| 26:125 | | I am an honest messenger for you |
| 26:126 | | so be cautious of God and obey me |
| 26:127 | | And I do not ask you for any wage, for my wage is only responsibility of the Master of Human kind |
| 26:128 | | Do you build a sign on every high place to fool around |
| 26:129 | | And you take up castles that you may live forever |
| 26:130 | | And when you attack, you attack as tyrants |
| 26:131 | | So be cautious of God and obey me |
| 26:132 | | And be cautious of the One who helped you with what you know |
| 26:133 | | He helped you with livestock and childre |
| 26:134 | | and gardens and springs |
| 26:135 | | Indeed I am afraid of the punishment of a great day upon you |
| 26:136 | | They said: it is the same to us whether you advise or are not of the advisors |
| 26:137 | | this is only character of the earlier ones |
| 26:138 | | and we will not be punished |
| 26:139 | | So they denied him, then We destroyed them. Indeed there is a sign in that, and most of them are not believers |
| 26:140 | | And indeed your Master is the powerful and the merciful |
| 26:141 | | (People of) Thamud denied the messengers |
| 26:142 | | when their brother Salih said to them: would you not be cautious (of God) |
| 26:143 | | I am an honest messenger for you |
| 26:144 | | so be cautious of God and obey me |
| 26:145 | | And I do not ask you for any wage, for my wage is only responsibility of the Master of Human kind |
| 26:146 | | Would you be left safe (and secure) in what is here |
| 26:147 | | In gardens and spring |
| 26:148 | | and plantations and a palm tree with its ripe (and delicious) fruit cluste |
| 26:149 | | and houses you skillfully carve out of the mountains |
| 26:150 | | So be cautious of God and obey me |
| 26:151 | | and do not obey order of the excessive ones |
| 26:152 | | those who commit corruption on the earth and do not reform |
| 26:153 | | They said: you are only of the bewitched ones |
| 26:154 | | you are only a human being like us, so bring a miracle if you are of the truthful ones |
| 26:155 | | He said: this is a (female) camel, she has (a portion of) drink and you have your (portion of) drink, on a known day |
| 26:156 | | And do not touch her with harm otherwise the punishment of a great day takes you |
| 26:157 | | So they killed her, then they became regretful |
| 26:158 | | Then the punishment took them. Indeed there is a sign in that, and most of them are not believers |
| 26:159 | | And indeed your Master is the powerful and the merciful |
| 26:160 | | People of Lot denied the messengers |
| 26:161 | | when their brother Lot said to them: would you not be cautious (of God) |
| 26:162 | | I am an honest messenger for you |
| 26:163 | | so be cautious of God and obey me |
| 26:164 | | And I do not ask you for any wage, for my wage is only responsibility of the Master of Human kind |
| 26:165 | | Do you approach the males among humankind |
| 26:166 | | And you leave what your Master created for you as your wives? No, but you are people who exceed the limits |
| 26:167 | | They said: Lot, if you do not stop, you shall be of those driven out |
| 26:168 | | He said: indeed I am of those who despise your action |
| 26:169 | | My Master, save me and my family from what they do |
| 26:170 | | So We saved him and his family altogether |
| 26:171 | | except an old woman (his wife who was) among those staying behind. |
| 26:172 | | Then We destroyed the others |
| 26:173 | | And We poured down a rain on them, and it was an awful rain on those who were warned |
| 26:174 | | Indeed there is a sign in that, and most of them are not believers |
| 26:175 | | And indeed your Master is the powerful and the merciful |
| 26:176 | | The inhabitants of the woods (people of Midian) denied the messengers |
| 26:177 | | when Shu'aib said to them: would you not be cautious (of God) |
| 26:178 | | I am an honest messenger for you |
| 26:179 | | so be cautious of God and obey me |
| 26:180 | | And I do not ask you for any wage, for my wage is only responsibility of the Master of Human kind |
| 26:181 | | Give the full measure, and do not be of those who give less (than due) |
| 26:182 | | and weigh with accurate scale |
| 26:183 | | and do not shortchange people their things and do not do mischief on the earth as corruptors |
| 26:184 | | And be cautious of the One who created you and the earlier generations |
| 26:185 | | They said: indeed you are of the bewitched ones |
| 26:186 | | you are only a human being like us, and we think you are among the liars |
| 26:187 | | So, make pieces of the sky fall on us, if you are of the truthful ones |
| 26:188 | | He said: my Master knows best what you do |
| 26:189 | | So they denied him, then the punishment of day of the covering clouds (of fire) took them. Indeed it was the punishment of a great day |
| 26:190 | | Indeed there is a sign in that, and most of them are not believers |
| 26:191 | | And indeed your Master is the powerful and the merciful |
| 26:192 | | And it (Quran) is certainly a sending down by the Master of Human kind |
| 26:193 | | The honest spirit (Gabriel) came down with i |
| 26:194 | | to your heart so that you be of the warners |
| 26:195 | | in clear Arabic language |
| 26:196 | | And indeed it is in the scriptures of the earlier ones |
| 26:197 | | Is it not a sign for them that the knowledgeable children of Israel know it |
| 26:198 | | And if We had sent it down to someone of the non-Arabs |
| 26:199 | | and he had read it to them, they would not have been believers in it. |
| 26:200 | | That is how We insert/pass it through the hearts of guilty ones |
| 26:201 | | they would not believe in it until they see the painful punishment |
| 26:202 | | And it comes to them suddenly while they do not realize |
| 26:203 | | Then they say: may we be given a delay |
| 26:204 | | Do they still want to rush Our punishment |
| 26:205 | | So did you think that if We make them enjoy for some years |
| 26:206 | | then what they were promised (the punishment) comes to them |
| 26:207 | | what they were made to enjoy would not be of any use to them |
| 26:208 | | We did not destroy any town (or population) unless there were warners for i |
| 26:209 | | to remind, and We were not unjust |
| 26:210 | | And the devils did not come down with it (Quran) |
| 26:211 | | It is not appropriate for them, and they can not |
| 26:212 | | Indeed they are blocked from the hearing (of it) |
| 26:213 | | So do not call on another god with God, otherwise you become of the punished ones |
| 26:214 | | And warn your closest family (and tribe members) |
| 26:215 | | And lower your wing (and be kind) for anyone who follows you among the believers |
| 26:216 | | And If they disobey you, then say: I am clear of what you do |
| 26:217 | | And put your trust in the powerful, the merciful |
| 26:218 | | The One who sees you when you stand (for prayer |
| 26:219 | | and your movement among those who prostrate (and show humbleness) |
| 26:220 | | Indeed He hears all and knows all |
| 26:221 | | Should I inform you of whom the devils come down on |
| 26:222 | | They come down on every lying sinner |
| 26:223 | | who give ear (and listen to the devils), and most of them are liars |
| 26:224 | | And the poets, the misled ones (those who lost the right way) follow them |
| 26:225 | | Did you not see that they drift into every valley (and subject) |
| 26:226 | | and they say what they do not do |
| 26:227 | | Except those (poets) who believe and do good works and often remember God and help/defend themselves after they are wronged. And those who do wrong are going to know to what return they will return |
