26:1  Ta-Seen-Meem. (Alphabets of the Arabic language – Allah, and to whomever he reveals, know their precise meanings.
26:2  These are verses of the clear Book
26:3  Possibly you may risk your life (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him) by grieving, because they did not believe
26:4  If We will, We can send down on them a sign from the sky so that their leaders would remain bowed before it
26:5  And never does a new advice come to them from the Most Gracious, but they turn away from it
26:6  Indeed they have denied, so now soon coming upon them are the tidings of what they used to scoff at
26:7  Have they not seen the earth, that how many honourable pairs We have created in it
26:8  Indeed in this is a sign; and most of them will not accept faith
26:9  And indeed your Lord – indeed only He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful
26:10  And (remember) when your Lord said to Moosa, “Go to the unjust people.”
26:11  “The nation of Firaun; will they not fear?”
26:12  He said, “My Lord, I fear that they will deny me.”
26:13  “I feel hesitant, and my tongue does not speak fast, therefore make Haroon also a Noble Messenger.”
26:14  “And they have an accusation against me, so I fear that they may kill me.”
26:15  He said, “Not like this (any more); both of you go with Our signs, We are with you, All Hearing.”
26:16  “Therefore approach Firaun then proclaim, ‘We both are Noble Messengers of the Lord Of The Creation.’
26:17  ‘That you let the Descendants of Israel go with us.’ ”
26:18  Said Firaun, “Did we do not raise you amongst us, as a child? And you spent many years of your life among us!”
26:19  “And you committed the deed of yours that you committed, and you were ungrateful.”
26:20  Said Moosa, “I did that at a time when I was unaware of the consequences.” (In anger
26:21  “I therefore went away from you as I feared you – so my Lord commanded me and appointed me as one of the Noble Messengers.”
26:22  “And is this some great reward for which you express favour upon me – that you have enslaved the Descendants of Israel?”
26:23  Said Firaun, “And what is the Lord Of The Creation
26:24  Said Moosa, “Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them; if you believe.”
26:25  Said Firaun to those around him, “Are you not listening with attention?”
26:26  Said Moosa, “Your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers preceding you.”
26:27  Said Firaun, “This (Noble) Messenger of yours, who has been sent towards you, has no intelligence!”
26:28  He said, “The Lord of the East and the West and all that is between them; if you have sense.”
26:29  Said Firaun, “If you ascribe any one else as a God other than me, I will surely imprison you.”
26:30  Said Moosa, “Even if I bring to you something clear?”
26:31  Said Firaun, “Then bring it, if you are of the truthful.”
26:32  So Moosa put down his staff and it became a visible serpent
26:33  And he drew forth his hand, thereupon it shone bright before the beholders
26:34  Said Firaun to the court members around him, “He is indeed an expert magician.”
26:35  “He wishes to expel you out of your land by his magic; so what is your advice?”
26:36  They said, “Stop him and his brother, and send gatherers to the cities.”
26:37  “To bring to you every expert great magician.”
26:38  So the magicians were gathered at a set time on a day appointed
26:39  And it was said to the people, “Have you (also) gathered?”
26:40  The people said, “Perhaps we may follow the magicians if they are victorious.”
26:41  So when the magicians came, they said to Firaun, “Will we get some reward if we are victorious?”
26:42  He said, “Yes, and you will then become close to me.”
26:43  Moosa said to them, “Cast whatever you intend to cast.”
26:44  So they threw down their ropes and their staves and exclaimed, “By the honour of Firaun, indeed victory is ours!”
26:45  Therefore Moosa put forth his staff – so it immediately began swallowing all their fabrications
26:46  The magicians therefore fell down prostrate
26:47  They said, “We have accepted faith in the Lord Of The Creation.”
26:48  “The Lord of Moosa and Haroon.”
26:49  Said Firaun, “You accepted faith in him before I permitted you! He is indeed your leader who taught you magic; so now you will come to know; I swear, I will certainly cut off your hands and your feet from alternate sides, and crucify all of you.”
26:50  They said, “No harm (in it), we will return to our Lord.”
26:51  “We hope that our Lord will forgive us our mistakes, as we are the first to believe.”
26:52  And We sent the divine revelation to Moosa that, “Journey along with My bondmen within the night, for you will be pursued.”
26:53  So Firaun sent gatherers into the cities
26:54  They announced “These people are a small group.”
26:55  “And indeed they have angered all of us.”
26:56  “And indeed we are an alert army.”
26:57  We therefore got them out from the gardens and water springs
26:58  And from treasures and nice houses
26:59  So it was; and We made the Descendants of Israel its inheritors
26:60  So the Firaun’s people followed them at sunrise
26:61  And when the two groups saw each other, those with Moosa said, “They have caught us.”
26:62  Said Moosa, “Never! Indeed my Lord is with me, He will now show me the way.”
26:63  So We sent the divine revelation to Moosa that, “Strike the sea with your staff”; thereupon the sea parted; so each part was like a huge mountain
26:64  And We brought the others close to that place
26:65  And We saved Moosa and all those with him
26:66  Then drowned the others
26:67  Indeed in this is surely a sign, and most of them were not Muslims
26:68  And indeed your Lord - only He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful
26:69  And recite to them the news of Ibrahim
26:70  When he said to his father and his people, “What do you worship?”
26:71  They said, “We worship idols, and we keep squatting in seclusion before them.”
26:72  He said, “Do they hear you when you call?”
26:73  “Or do they benefit you or harm you?”
26:74  They said, “In fact we found our forefathers doing likewise.”
26:75  He said, “Do you see these – (the idols) whom you worship?”
26:76  “You and your forefathers preceding you.”
26:77  “They are all my enemies, except the Lord Of The Creation.”
26:78  “The One Who created me, so He will guide me.”
26:79  “And the One Who feeds me and gives me to drink.”
26:80  “And when I fall ill, so it is He Who heals me.”
26:81  “And He will give me death, then resurrect me.”
26:82  “And the One Who, upon Whom I pin my hopes, will forgive me my mistakes on the Day of Judgement.”
26:83  “My Lord, bestow me the command and join me with those who deserve your proximity.”
26:84  “And give me proper fame among the succeeding generations.”
26:85  “And make me among the inheritors of the Gardens of serenity.”
26:86  “And forgive my father * – he is indeed astray.” (His paternal uncle
26:87  “And do not disgrace me on the day when everyone will be raised.”
26:88  “The day when neither wealth will benefit nor will sons.”
26:89  “Except he who presented himself before Allah, with a sound* heart.” (Intact or unblemished.
26:90  And Paradise will be brought close for the pious
26:91  And hell will be revealed for the astray
26:92  And it will be said to them, “Where are those whom you used to worship?”
26:93  “Instead of Allah? Will they help you or retaliate?”
26:94  So they and all the astray were flung into hell
26:95  And all the armies of Iblis. (Satan
26:96  And they will say, and they will be quarrelling in it
26:97  “By oath of Allah , we were indeed in open error.”
26:98  “When we considered you equal to the Lord Of The Creation.”
26:99  “And none misled us but the guilty.”
26:100  “So now we do not have any intercessors.” (The believers shall have intercessors, the disbelievers none)
26:101  “Nor a caring friend.”
26:102  “So if only were we to go back, in order to become Muslims!”
26:103  Indeed in this is a sign; and most of them were not believers
26:104  And indeed your Lord - only He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful
26:105  The people of Nooh denied the Noble Messengers
26:106  When their fellowman Nooh said to them, “Do you not fear?”
26:107  “I am indeed a trustworthy Noble Messenger of Allah to you.”
26:108  “Therefore fear Allah, and obey me.”
26:109  “And I do not ask from you any fee for it; my reward is only upon the Lord Of The Creation.”
26:110  “Therefore fear Allah, and obey me.”
26:111  They said, “Shall we believe in you, whereas the abject people are with you?”
26:112  He said, “What do I know what their deeds are?”
26:113  “Indeed their account is only upon my Lord, if you perceive.”
26:114  “And I will not repel the Muslims.”
26:115  “I am not but clearly a Herald of Warning.”
26:116  They said, “O Nooh, if you do not desist you will surely be stoned.”
26:117  He said, “My Lord, my people have denied me.”
26:118  “Therefore make a decisive judgement between me and them, and rescue me and the believers along with me.”
26:119  So We saved him and those with him in a laden ship
26:120  Then after it, We drowned the rest
26:121  Indeed in this is a sign; and most of them were not believers
26:122  And indeed your Lord, only He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful
26:123  (The tribe of) A’ad denied the Noble Messengers
26:124  When their fellowman Hud said to them, “Do you not fear?”
26:125  “I am indeed a trustworthy Noble Messenger of Allah to you.”
26:126  “Therefore fear Allah and obey me.”
26:127  “And I do not ask from you any fee for it; my reward is only upon the Lord Of The Creation.”
26:128  “What! You build a structure on every height, to laugh at the passers-by?”
26:129  “And prefer strong palaces, that perhaps you may live for ever?”
26:130  “And when you apprehend someone, you seize him mercilessly?”
26:131  “Therefore fear Allah, and obey me.”
26:132  “Fear Him Who has aided you with the things you know.”
26:133  “He aided you with cattle and sons.”
26:134  “And with gardens and water-springs.”
26:135  “Indeed I fear upon you the punishment of a Great Day.”
26:136  They said, “It is the same for us, whether you advise us or not be of the preachers.”
26:137  “This is nothing but the tradition of former people.”
26:138  “And we will not be punished.”
26:139  In response they denied him - We therefore destroyed them; indeed in this is a sign; and most of them were not believers
26:140  And indeed your Lord - only He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful
26:141  The Thamud tribe denied the Noble Messengers
26:142  When their fellowman Saleh said to them, “Do you not fear?”
26:143  “I am indeed a trustworthy Noble Messenger of Allah to you.”
26:144  “Therefore fear Allah and obey me.”
26:145  “And I do not ask from you any fee for it; my reward is only upon the Lord Of The Creation.”
26:146  “Will you be left peacefully in these favours over here?”
26:147  “In gardens and water springs?”
26:148  “And fields and palm-trees, with delicate tendrils?”
26:149  “And you carve out dwellings in the mountains, with skill?”
26:150  “Therefore fear Allah and obey me.”
26:151  “And do not follow those who exceed the limits.”
26:152  “Those who spread turmoil in the earth, and do no reform.”
26:153  They said, “You are under a magic spell.”
26:154  “You are just a human like us; therefore bring some sign if you are truthful.”
26:155  He said, “This is the she-camel – one day shall be her turn to drink, and on the other appointed day, shall be your turn.”
26:156  “And do not touch her with evil intentions for the punishment of the Great Day will seize you.”
26:157  So they hamstrung her, and in the morning could only regret
26:158  The punishment therefore seized them; indeed in this is a sign; and most of them were not believers
26:159  And indeed your Lord - only He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful
26:160  The people of Lut denied the Noble Messengers
26:161  When their fellowman Lut said to them, “Do you not fear?”
26:162  “I am indeed a trustworthy Noble Messenger of Allah to you.”
26:163  “Therefore fear Allah and obey me.”
26:164  “And I do not ask from you any fee for it; my reward is only upon the Lord Of The Creation.”
26:165  “What! Among all the creatures, you commit the immoral acts with men?”
26:166  “And leave the wives your Lord has created for you? In fact you are people who exceed the limits.”
26:167  They said, “O Lut, if you do not desist, you will be expelled.”
26:168  He said, “I am disgusted with your works.”
26:169  “My Lord, rescue me and my family from their deeds.”
26:170  We therefore rescued him and his entire family
26:171  Except one old woman, who stayed behind
26:172  We then destroyed the others
26:173  And We showered a rain upon them; so what a wretched rain for those who were warned
26:174  Indeed in this is a sign; and most of them were not Muslims
26:175  And indeed your Lord - only He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful
26:176  The People of the Woods denied the Noble Messengers
26:177  When Shuaib said to all of them, “Do you not fear?”
26:178  “I am indeed a trustworthy Noble Messenger of Allah to you.”
26:179  “Therefore fear Allah and obey me.”
26:180  “And I do not ask from you any fee for it; my reward is only upon the Lord Of The Creation.”
26:181  “Measure in full, and do not be of those who reduce.”
26:182  “And weigh with a proper balance.”
26:183  “And do not give the people their goods diminished, and do not roam the earth causing turmoil.”
26:184  “And fear Him Who created you and the earlier creations.”
26:185  They said, “You are under a magic spell.”
26:186  “You are just a human like us, and indeed we consider you a liar.”
26:187  “Therefore cause a part of the sky to fall upon us, if you are of the truthful.”
26:188  He said, “My Lord is Well Aware of what you do.”
26:189  In response they denied him – therefore the punishment of the day of the tent * seized them; that was indeed a punishment of a Great Day. (The clouds formed a tent and rained fire upon them)
26:190  Indeed in this is a sign; and most of them were not Muslims
26:191  And indeed your Lord - only He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful
26:192  And indeed this Qur’an has been sent down by the Lord Of The Creation
26:193  The Trustworthy Spirit brought it down. (Angel Jibreel – peace be upon him.
26:194  Upon your heart, for you to convey warning
26:195  In plain Arabic language
26:196  And indeed it is mentioned in the earlier Books
26:197  And was this not a sign for them, that the scholars of the Descendants of Israel may recognise this Prophet
26:198  And had We sent it down upon a person other than an Arab
26:199  In order that he read it to them, even then they would not have believed in it
26:200  This is how We have made (the habit of) denying embedded in the hearts of the guilty
26:201  They will not believe in it to the extent that they see the painful punishment
26:202  So it will come upon them suddenly, whilst they will be unaware
26:203  They will therefore say, “Will we get some respite?”
26:204  So do they wish to hasten Our punishment
26:205  Therefore observe, that if We give them some comforts for some years,
26:206  And then the promise that is given to them, does come upon them
26:207  So of what benefit will be the comforts that they were using
26:208  And never did We destroy a township which did not have Heralds of warning,
26:209  To advise; and We never oppress
26:210  And this Qur’an was not brought down by the devils
26:211  They are unworthy of it, nor can they do it
26:212  Indeed they have been banished from the place of hearing
26:213  Therefore do not worship another deity along with Allah, for you will be punished
26:214  And O dear Prophet (Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), warn your closest relatives
26:215  And spread your wing of mercy for the believers following you
26:216  So if they do not obey you, then say, “Indeed I am unconcerned with what you do.”
26:217  And rely upon (Allah) the Almighty, the Most Merciful
26:218  Who watches you when you stand up
26:219  And watches your movements among those who prostrate in prayer
26:220  Indeed only He is the All Hearing, the All Knowing
26:221  Shall I inform you upon whom do the devils descend
26:222  They descend on every great accuser, extreme sinner. (The magicians
26:223  The devils convey upon them what they heard, but most of them are liars
26:224  And the astray follow the poets
26:225  Did you not see that they keep wandering in every valley
26:226  And they speak what they do not do
26:227  Except those who believed and did good deeds, and profusely remembered Allah, and took revenge after they had been wronged *; and soon the unjust will come to know upon which side they will be overturned **. (* The Muslim poets who praise Allah and the Prophet. ** The disbelievers will be punished.
