Those are the signs of the perspicuous Book
26:3
haply thou art vexing thyself to death that they will not be believers
26:4
If we please we will send down upon them from the heaven a sign, and their necks shall be humbled thereto
26:5
But there comes not to them any recent Reminder from the Merciful One that they do not turn away from
26:6
They have called (thee) liar! but there shall come to them a message of that at which they mocked
26:7
Have they not looked to the earth, how we caused to grow therein of every noble kind
26:8
verily, in that is a sign; but most of them will never be believers
26:9
but, verily, thy Lord He is mighty and merciful
26:10
And when thy Lord called Moses (saying), 'Come to the unjust people
26:11
to the people of Pharaoh, will they not fear?
26:12
Said he, 'My Lord! verily, I fear that they will call me liar
26:13
and my breast is straitened, and my tongue is not fluent; send then unto Aaron
26:14
for they have a crime against me, and I fear that they may kill me.
26:15
Said He, 'Not so; but go with our signs, verily, we are with you listening
26:16
'And go to Pharaoh and say, "Verily, we are the apostles of the Lord of the world
26:17
(to tell thee to) send with us the children of Israel."
26:18
And he said, 'Did we not bring thee up amongst us as a child? and thou didst dwell amongst us for years of thy life
26:19
and thou didst do thy deed which thou hast done, and thou art of the ungrateful!
26:20
Said he, 'I did commit this, and I was of those who erred
26:21
'And I fled from you when I feared you, and my Lord granted me judgment, and made me one of His messengers
26:22
and this is the favour thou hast obliged me with, that thou hast enslaved the children of Israel!
26:23
Said Pharaoh, 'Who is the Lord of the worlds?
26:24
Said he, 'The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between the two, if ye are but sure.
26:25
Said he to those about him, 'Do ye not liste
26:26
Said he, 'Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore!
26:27
Said he, 'Verily, your apostle who is sent to you is surely mad!
26:28
Said he, 'The Lord of the east and of the west, and of what is between the two, if ye had but sense!
26:29
Said he, 'If thou dost take a god besides Me I will surely make thee one of the imprisoned!
26:30
Said he, 'What, if I come to thee with something obvious?
26:31
Said he, 'Bring it, if thou art of those who tell the truth!
26:32
And he threw down his rod, and, behold, it was an obvious serpent
26:33
and he plucked out his hand, and, behold, it was white to the spectators
26:34
He said to the chiefs around him, 'Verily, this is a knowing sorcerer
26:35
he desires to turn you out of your land! what is it then ye bid?
26:36
They said, 'Give him and his brother some hope, and send into the cities to collec
26:37
and bring to thee every knowing sorcerer.
26:38
And the sorcerers assembled at the appointed time on a stated day
26:39
and it was said to the people, 'Are ye assembled
26:40
haply we may follow the sorcerers if we gain the upper hand.
26:41
And when the sorcerers came they said to Pharaoh, 'Shall we, verily, have a hire if we gain the upper hand?
26:42
Said he, 'Yes; and, verily, ye shall then be of those who are nigh (my throne).
26:43
And Moses said to them, 'Throw down what ye have to throw down.
26:44
So they threw down their ropes and their rods and said, 'By Pharaoh's might, verily, we it is who shall gain the upper hand!
26:45
And Moses threw down his rod, and, lo, it swallowed up what they falsely devised
26:46
And the sorcerers threw themselves down, adoring
26:47
Said they, 'We believe in the Lord of the worlds
26:48
the Lord of Moses and Aaron!
26:49
Said he, 'Do ye believe in Him ere I give you leave? Verily, he is your chief who has taught you sorcery, but soon ye shall know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet from opposite sides, and I will crucify you all together!
26:50
They said, 'No harm; verily, unto our Lord do we return
26:51
verily, we hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins, for we are the first of believers!
26:52
And we inspired Moses, 'Journey by night with my servants; verily, ye are pursued.
26:53
And Pharaoh sent into the cities to collect
26:54
'Verily, these are a small company
26:55
And, verily, they are enraged with us
26:56
but we are a multitude, wary
26:57
'Turn them out of gardens and springs
26:58
and treasuries, and a noble station!'
26:59
thus, - and we made the children of Israel to inherit them
26:60
And they followed them at dawn
26:61
and when the two hosts saw each other, Moses' companions said, 'Verily, we are overtaken!
26:62
Said he, 'Not so; verily, with me is my Lord, He will guide me.
26:63
And we inspired Moses, 'Strike with thy rod the sea;' and it was cleft asunder, and each part was like a mighty mountain
26:64
And then we brought the others
26:65
And we saved Moses and those with him all together
26:66
then we drowned the others
26:67
and that is a sign: but most of them will never be believers
26:68
And, verily, thy Lord He is mighty, merciful
26:69
And recite to them the story of Abraham
26:70
when he said to his father and his people, 'What do ye serve?
26:71
They said, 'We serve idols, and we are still devoted to them
26:72
He said, 'Can they hear you when ye call
26:73
or profit you, or harm?
26:74
They said, 'No; but we found our fathers doing thus.
26:75
He said, 'Have ye considered what ye have been serving
26:76
ye and your fathers before you
26:77
Verily, they are foes to me, save only the Lord of the worlds
26:78
who created me and guides me
26:79
and who gives me food and drink
26:80
And when I am sick He heals me
26:81
He who will kill me, and then bring me to life
26:82
and who I hope will forgive me my sins on the day of judgment
26:83
Lord, grant me judgment, and let me reach the righteous
26:84
and give me a tongue of good report amongst posterity
26:85
and make me of the heirs of the paradise of pleasure
26:86
and pardon my father, verily, he is of those who err
26:87
and disgrace me not on the day when they are raised up again
26:88
the day when wealth shall profit not, nor sons
26:89
but only he who comes to God with a sound heart
26:90
And paradise shall be brought near to the pious
26:91
and hell shall be brought forth to those who go astray
26:92
and it shall be said to them, "Where is what ye used to worship
26:93
beside God? can they help you, or get help themselves? "
26:94
And they shall fall headlong into it, they and those who have gone astray
26:95
and the hosts of Iblis all together
26:96
'They shall say, while they quarrel therein
26:97
"By God! we were surely in an obvious error
26:98
when we made you equal to the Lord of the worlds
26:99
but it was only sinners who led us astray
26:100
But we have no intercessor
26:102
but had we a turn we would be of the believers."'
26:103

26:104
and, verily, thy Lord He is mighty and merciful
26:105

then fear God and obey me
26:109

26:110
So fear God and obey me.
26:111
They said, 'Shall we believe in thee, when the reprobates follow thee?
26:112
He said, 'I did not know what they were doing
26:113
their account is only with my Lord, if ye but perceive
26:114
And I am not one to drive away the believers
26:115
I am only a plain warner.
26:116
They said, 'Verily, if thou desist not, O Noah! thou shalt surely be of those who are stoned!
26:117
Said he, 'My Lord! verily, my people call me liar
26:118
open between me and between them an opening, and save me and those of the believers who are with me!
26:119
So we saved him and those with him in the laden ark
26:120

26:129
and take to works that haply ye may be immortal
26:130
'And when ye assault ye assault like tyrants
26:131
but fear God and obey me
26:133
given you an extent of cattle and sons
26:134
and gardens and springs
26:135
Verily, fear for you the torment of a mighty day!
26:136
They said, 'It is the same to us if thou admonish or art not of those who do admonish
26:137
this is nothing but old folks' fictions, for we shall not be tormented!
26:138
And they called him liar

Shall ye be left here in safet
26:147
with gardens and springs
26:148
and corn-fields and palms
26:149

and obey not the bidding of the extravagant
26:152
who do evil in the earth and do not act aright!

26:166
and leave what God your Lord has created for you of your wives? nay, but ye are people who transgress!
26:167
They said, 'Surely, if thou dost not desist, O Lot! thou shalt be of those who are expelled!
26:168
Said he, 'Verily, I am of those who hate your deed
26:169
my Lord! save me and my people from what they do.
26:170
And we saved him and his people all together
26:171
except an old woman amongst those who lingered
26:172
Then we destroyed the others
26:173
and we rained down upon them a rain; and evil was the rain of those who were warned
26:174
Verily, in that is a sign; but most, of them will never be believers
26:175
And, verily, thy Lord He is mighty, merciful, compassionate
26:176
The fellows of the Grove called the apostles liars

26:182
and weigh with a fair balance
26:183
and do not cheat men of their goods; and waste not the land, despoiling it
26:184
and fear Him who created you and the races of yore!
26:185
Said they, 'Thou art only of the infatuated
26:186
and thou art only a mortal like ourselves; and, verily, we think that thou art surely of the liars
26:187
so make a portion of the heaven to fall down upon us, if thou art of those who tell the truth!
26:188
Said he, 'My Lord knows best what ye do!
26:189
but they called him liar, and the torment of the day of the shadow seized them; for it was the torment of a mighty day
26:190
verily, in that is a sign; but most of them will never be believers
26:191
but, verily, thy Lord He is mighty, merciful
26:192
And, verily, it is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds
26:193
the Faithful Spirit came down with i
26:194
upon thy heart, that thou shouldst be of those who warn;
26:195
in plain Arabic language
26:196
and, verily, it is (foretold) in the scriptures of yore
26:197
Have they not a sign, that the learned men of the children of Israel recognise it
26:198
Had we sent it down to any barbarian
26:199
and he had read it to them, they would not have believed therein
26:200
Thus have we made for it a way into the hearts of the sinners
26:201
they will not believe therein until they see the grievous woe
26:202
and it shall come to them suddenly while they do not perceive
26:203
They will say, 'Shall we be respited?
26:204
What! do they wish to hasten on our torment?
26:205
What thinkest thou? if we let them enjoy themselves for years
26:206
and then there come to them what they are threatened
26:207
that will not avail them which they had to enjoy
26:208
But we do not destroy any city without its having warner
26:209
as a reminder, for we are never unjust
26:210
The devils did not descend therewith
26:211
it is not fit work for them; nor are they able to do it
26:212
Verily, they are deposed from listening
26:213
call not then with God upon other gods, or thou wilt be of the tormented
26:214
but warn thy clansmen who are near of kin
26:215
And lower thy wing to those of the believers who follow thee
26:216
but if they rebel against thee, say, 'Verily, I am clear of what ye do,
26:217
and rely thou upon the mighty, merciful One
26:218
who sees thee when thou dost stand up
26:219
and thy posturing amongst those who adore'
26:220
Verily, He both bears and knows
26:221
Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend
26:222
they descend upon every sinful liar
26:223
and impart what they have heard; but most of them are liars
26:224
And the poets do those follow who go astray
26:225
Dost thou not see that they wander distraught in every vale
26:226
and that they say that which they do not do
26:227
save those who believe, and do right, and remember God much, and defend themselves after they are wronged; but those who do wrong shall know with what a turn they shall be turned
