26:1  Ta. Sin. Mim
26:2  These are revelations of the Scripture that maketh plain
26:3  It may be that thou tormentest thyself (O Muhammad) because they believe not
26:4  If We will, We can send down on them from the sky a portent so that their necks would remain bowed before it
26:5  Never cometh there unto them a fresh reminder from the Beneficent One, but they turn away from it
26:6  Now they have denied (the Truth); but there will come unto them tidings of that whereat they used to scoff
26:7  Have they not seen the earth, how much of every fruitful kind We make to grow therein
26:8  Lo! herein is indeed a portent; yet most of them are not believers
26:9  And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful
26:10  And when thy Lord called Moses, saying: Go unto the wrongdoing folk
26:11  The folk of Pharaoh. Will they not ward off (evil)
26:12  He said: My Lord! Lo! I fear that they will deny me
26:13  And I shall be embarrassed, and my tongue will not speak plainly, therefor send for Aaron (to help me)
26:14  And they have a crime against me, so I fear that they will kill me
26:15  He said: Nay, verily. So go ye twain with Our tokens. Lo! We shall be with you, Hearing
26:16  And come together unto Pharaoh and say: Lo! we bear a message of the Lord of the Worlds
26:17  (Saying): Let the Children of Israel go with us
26:18  (Pharaoh) said (unto Moses): Did we not rear thee among us as a child? And thou didst dwell many years of thy life among us
26:19  And thou didst that thy deed which thou didst, and thou wast one of the ingrates
26:20  He said: I did it then, when I was of those who are astray
26:21  Then I fled from you when I feared you, and my Lord vouchsafed me a command and appointed me (of the number) of those sent (by Him)
26:22  And this is the past favour wherewith thou reproachest me: that thou hast enslaved the Children of Israel
26:23  Pharaoh said: And what is the Lord of the Worlds
26:24  (Moses) said: Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if ye had but sure belief
26:25  (Pharaoh) said unto those around him: Hear ye not
26:26  He said: Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers
26:27  (Pharaoh) said: Lo! your messenger who hath been sent unto you is indeed a madman
26:28  He said: Lord of the East and the West and all that is between them, if ye did but understand
26:29  (Pharaoh) said: If thou choosest a god other than me, I assuredly shall place thee among the prisoners
26:30  He said: Even though I show thee something plain
26:31  (Pharaoh) said: Produce it then, if thou art of the truthful
26:32  Then he flung down his staff and it became a serpent manifest
26:33  And he drew forth his hand and lo! it was white to the beholders
26:34  (Pharaoh) said unto the chiefs about him: Lo! this is verily a knowing wizard
26:35  Who would drive you out of your land by his magic. Now what counsel ye
26:36  They said: Put him off, (him) and his brother, and send into the cities summoner
26:37  Who shall bring unto thee every knowing wizard
26:38  So the wizards were gathered together at a set time on a day appointed
26:39  And it was said unto the people: Are ye (also) gathering
26:40  (They said): Aye, so that we may follow the wizards if they are the winners
26:41  And when the wizards came they said unto Pharaoh: Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners
26:42  He said: Aye, and ye will then surely be of those brought near (to me)
26:43  Moses said unto them: Throw what ye are going to throw
26:44  Then they threw down their cords and their staves and said: By Pharaoh's might, lo! we verily are the winners
26:45  Then Moses threw his staff and lo! it swallowed that which they did falsely show
26:46  And the wizards were flung prostrate
26:47  Crying: We believe in the Lord of the Worlds
26:48  The Lord of Moses and Aaron
26:49  (Pharaoh) said: Ye put your faith in him before I give you leave. Lo! he doubtless is your chief who taught you magic! But verily ye shall come to know. Verily I will cut off your hands and your feet alternately, and verily I will crucify you every one
26:50  They said: It is no hurt, for lo! unto our Lord we shall return
26:51  Lo! we ardently hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we are the first of the believers
26:52  And We inspired Moses, saying: Take away My slaves by night, for ye will be pursued
26:53  Then Pharaoh sent into the cities summoners
26:54  (Who said): Lo! these indeed are but a little troop
26:55  And lo! they are offenders against us
26:56  And lo! we are a ready host
26:57  Thus did We take them away from gardens and watersprings
26:58  And treasures and a fair estate
26:59  Thus (were those things taken from them) and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them
26:60  And they overtook them at sunrise
26:61  And when the two hosts saw each other, those with Moses said: Lo! we are indeed caught
26:62  He said: Nay, verily! for lo! my Lord is with me. He will guide me
26:63  Then We inspired Moses, saying: Smite the sea with thy staff. And it parted, and each part was as a mountain vast
26:64  Then brought We near the others to that place
26:65  And We saved Moses and those with him, every one
26:66  And We drowned the others
26:67  Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers
26:68  And lo, thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful
26:69  Recite unto them the story of Abraham
26:70  When he said unto his father and his folk: What worship ye
26:71  They said: We worship idols, and are ever devoted unto them
26:72  He said: Do they hear you when ye cry
26:73  Or do they benefit or harm you
26:74  They said: Nay, but we found our fathers acting on this wise
26:75  He said: See now that which ye worship
26:76  Ye and your forefathers
26:77  Lo! they are (all) an enemy unto me, save the Lord of the Worlds
26:78  Who created me, and He doth guide me
26:79  And Who feedeth me and watereth me
26:80  And when I sicken, then He healeth me
26:81  And Who causeth me to die, then giveth me life (again)
26:82  And Who, I ardently hope, will forgive me my sin on the Day of Judgment
26:83  My Lord! Vouchsafe me wisdom and unite me to the righteous
26:84  And give unto me a good report in later generations
26:85  And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Delight
26:86  And forgive my father. Lo! he is of those who err
26:87  And abase me not on the day when they are raised
26:88  The day when wealth and sons avail not (any man
26:89  Save him who bringeth unto Allah a whole heart
26:90  And the Garden will be brought nigh for those who ward off (evil)
26:91  And hell will appear plainly to the erring
26:92  And it will be said unto them: Where is (all) that ye used to worship
26:93  Instead of Allah? Can they help you or help themselves
26:94  Then will they be hurled therein, they and the seducer
26:95  And the hosts of Iblis, together
26:96  And they will say, when they are quarrelling therein
26:97  By Allah, of a truth we were in error manifes
26:98  When we made you equal with the Lord of the Worlds
26:99  It was but the guilty who misled us
26:100  Now we have no intercessor
26:101  Nor any loving friend
26:102  Oh, that we had another turn (on earth), that we might be of the believers
26:103  Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers
26:104  And lo, thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful
26:105  Noah's folk denied the messengers (of Allah)
26:106  When their brother Noah said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)
26:107  Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you
26:108  So keep your duty to Allah, and obey me
26:109  And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds
26:110  So keep your duty to Allah, and obey me
26:111  They said: Shall we put faith in thee, when the lowest (of the people) follow thee
26:112  He said: And what knowledge have I of what they may have been doing (in the past)
26:113  Lo! their reckoning is my Lord's concern, if ye but knew
26:114  And I am not (here) to repulse believers
26:115  I am only a plain warner
26:116  They said: If thou cease not, O Noah, thou wilt surely be among those stoned (to death)
26:117  He said: My Lord! Lo! my own folk deny me
26:118  Therefor judge Thou between us, a (conclusive) judgment, and save me and those believers who are with me
26:119  And We saved him and those with him in the laden ship
26:120  Then afterward We drowned the others
26:121  Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers
26:122  And lo, thy Lord, He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful
26:123  (The tribe of) A'ad denied the messengers (of Allah)
26:124  When their brother Hud said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)
26:125  Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you
26:126  So keep your duty to Allah and obey me
26:127  And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds
26:128  Build ye on every high place a monument for vain delight
26:129  And seek ye out strongholds, that haply ye may last for ever
26:130  And if ye seize by force, seize ye as tyrants
26:131  Rather keep your duty to Allah, and obey me
26:132  Keep your duty toward Him Who hath aided you with (the good things) that ye know
26:133  Hath aided you with cattle and sons
26:134  And gardens and watersprings
26:135  Lo! I fear for you the retribution of an awful day
26:136  They said: It is all one to us whether thou preachest or art not of those who preach
26:137  This is but a fable of the men of old
26:138  And we shall not be doomed
26:139  And they denied him; therefor We destroyed them. Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers
26:140  And lo! thy Lord, He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful
26:141  (The tribe of) Thamud denied the messengers (of Allah
26:142  When their brother Salih said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)
26:143  Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you
26:144  So keep your duty to Allah and obey me
26:145  And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds
26:146  Will ye be left secure in that which is here before us
26:147  In gardens and watersprings
26:148  And tilled fields and heavy-sheathed palm-trees
26:149  Though ye hew out dwellings in the mountain, being skilful
26:150  Therefor keep your duty to Allah and obey me
26:151  And obey not the command of the prodigal
26:152  Who spread corruption in the earth, and reform not
26:153  They said: Thou art but one of the bewitched
26:154  Thou art but a mortal like us. So bring some token if thou art of the truthful
26:155  He said: (Behold) this she-camel. She hath the right to drink (at the well), and ye have the right to drink, (each) on an appointed day
26:156  And touch her not with ill lest there come on you the retribution of an awful day
26:157  But they hamstrung her, and then were penitent
26:158  So the retribution came on them. Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers
26:159  And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful
26:160  The folk of Lot denied the messengers (of Allah)
26:161  When their brother Lot said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)
26:162  Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you
26:163  So keep your duty to Allah and obey me
26:164  And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds
26:165  What! Of all creatures do ye come unto the males
26:166  And leave the wives your Lord created for you? Nay, but ye are froward folk
26:167  They said: If thou cease not, O Lot, thou wilt soon be of the outcast
26:168  He said: I am in truth of those who hate your conduct
26:169  My Lord! Save me and my household from what they do
26:170  So We saved him and his household, every one
26:171  Save an old woman among those who stayed behind
26:172  Then afterward We destroyed the others
26:173  And We rained on them a rain. And dreadful is the rain of those who have been warned
26:174  Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers
26:175  And lo! thy Lord, He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful
26:176  The dwellers in the wood (of Midian) denied the messengers (of Allah)
26:177  When Shu'eyb said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)
26:178  Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you
26:179  So keep your duty to Allah and obey me
26:180  And I ask of you no wage for it; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds
26:181  Give full measure, and be not of those who give less (than the due)
26:182  And weigh with the true balance
26:183  Wrong not mankind in their goods, and do not evil, making mischief, in the earth
26:184  And keep your duty unto Him Who created you and the generations of the men of old
26:185  They said: Thou art but one of the bewitched
26:186  Thou art but a mortal like us, and lo! we deem thee of the liars
26:187  Then make fragments of the heaven fall upon us, if thou art of the truthful
26:188  He said: My Lord is Best Aware of what ye do
26:189  But they denied him, so there came on them the retribution of the day of gloom. Lo! it was the retribution of an awful day
26:190  Lo! herein is indeed a portent; yet most of them are not believers
26:191  And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful
26:192  And lo! it is a revelation of the Lord of the Worlds
26:193  Which the True Spirit hath brought dow
26:194  Upon thy heart, that thou mayst be (one) of the warners
26:195  In plain Arabic speech
26:196  And lo! it is in the Scriptures of the men of old
26:197  Is it not a token for them that the doctors of the Children of Israel know it
26:198  And if We had revealed it unto one of any other nation than the Arabs
26:199  And he had read it unto them, they would not have believed in it
26:200  Thus do We make it traverse the hearts of the guilty
26:201  They will not believe in it till they behold the painful doom
26:202  So that it will come upon them suddenly, when they perceive not
26:203  Then they will say: Are we to be reprieved
26:204  Would they (now) hasten on Our doom
26:205  Hast thou then seen, if We content them for (long) years
26:206  And then cometh that which they were promised
26:207  (How) that wherewith they were contented naught availeth them
26:208  And We destroyed no township but it had its warner
26:209  For reminder, for We never were oppressors
26:210  The devils did not bring it down
26:211  It is not meet for them, nor is it in their power
26:212  Lo! verily they are banished from the hearing
26:213  Therefor invoke not with Allah another god, lest thou be one of the doomed
26:214  And warn thy tribe of near kindred
26:215  And lower thy wing (in kindness) unto those believers who follow thee
26:216  And if they (thy kinsfolk) disobey thee, say: Lo! I am innocent of what they do
26:217  And put thy trust in the Mighty, the Merciful
26:218  Who seeth thee when thou standest up (to pray
26:219  And (seeth) thine abasement among those who fall prostrate (in worship)
26:220  Lo! He, only He, is the Hearer, the Knower
26:221  Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend
26:222  They descend on every sinful, false one
26:223  They listen eagerly, but most of them are liars
26:224  As for poets, the erring follow them
26:225  Hast thou not seen how they stray in every valley
26:226  And how they say that which they do not
26:227  Save those who believe and do good works, and remember Allah much, and vindicate themselves after they have been wronged. Those who do wrong will come to know by what a (great) reverse they will be overturned
