26:1  T'SM
26:2  These are the signs of the Book of clarity
26:3  Perhaps you grieve yourself that they do not become believers
26:4  IfWe wish, We could send down for them from the heavens a sign, to which they would bend their necks in humility
26:5  And not a reminder comes to them from the Almighty, except that they turn away from it
26:6  They have denied, thus the news will come to them of what they used to mock
26:7  Did they not look to the earth, how many plants have We raised in it, from each a good pair.
26:8  Inthat is a sign, but most of them are not believers
26:9  And your Lord is the Noble, the Merciful.
26:10  Andwhen your Lord called to Moses: "Go to the people who are wicked.
26:11  "The people of Pharaoh. Will they not be righteous?
26:12  He said: "My Lord, I fear that they would deny me.
26:13  "And my chest would become tight, and my tongue would not be able to express; so send for Aaron.
26:14  "And they have charges of a crime against me, so I fear they will kill me.
26:15  He said: "Indeed not! Go both of you with Our signs. I am with you listening."
26:16  "So both of you go to Pharaoh and say: 'We are messengers of the Lord of the worlds
26:17  'Sosend with us the Children of Israel'
26:18  He said: "Did we not raise you among us as a new born, and you stayed with us for many of your years?
26:19  "And you did that deed you did, and you are of the rejecters.
26:20  He said: "I did it, and I was of those misguided.
26:21  "SoI ran away from you all, for I feared you. So my Lord granted me judgment, and made me of the messengers.
26:22  "And is it a favor that you taunt me with, so you could continue to enslave the Children of Israel?
26:23  Pharaoh said: "And what is the Lord of the worlds?
26:24  He said: "The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you are aware.
26:25  He said to those around him: "Do you hear that?
26:26  He said: "Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of old!
26:27  He said: "This messenger of yours who has been sent to you is crazy!
26:28  He said: "The Lord of the east and the west, and what is between them, if you comprehend.
26:29  He said: "If you take a god other than me, then I will put you among the prisoners.
26:30  He said: "What if I brought you proof?
26:31  He said: "Then bring it forth if you are of the truthful ones.
26:32  So he cast his staff, then it manifested into a serpent
26:33  Andhe drew out his hand, then it became white to the onlookers
26:34  He said to the commanders around him: "This is a knowledgeable magician!
26:35  "Hewants to bring you out of your land with his magic. So what will you decide?
26:36  They said: "Delay him and his brother, and send gatherers to the cities.
26:37  "They will come to you with every knowledgeable magician.
26:38  So the magicians were gathered to an appointed day
26:39  Andit was said to the people: "Will you also gather?
26:40  "Perhaps we can follow the magicians if they are the winners.
26:41  So when the magicians came, they said to Pharaoh: "We should be rewarded if we are the winners.
26:42  He said: "Yes, and you shall also be near to me.
26:43  Moses said to them: "Cast down what it is you will cast.
26:44  So they cast down their ropes and staffs and they said: "By the might of Pharaoh, we will be the winners.
26:45  So Moses cast down his staff, then it was eating-up all that they showed
26:46  So the magicians went down prostrating
26:47  They said: "We believe in the Lord of the worlds!
26:48  "The Lord of Moses and Aaron.
26:49  He said: "Have you believed unto him before I permitted you? He is surely your great one who has taught you magic. So you shall come to know, I will cut off your hands and feet from alternate sides, and I will crucify you all.
26:50  They said: "There is no worry, for we are all returning to our Lord.
26:51  "Wehope that our Lord will forgive us our wrongdoings, as we are the first to believe.
26:52  AndWe inspired Moses: "Take away My servants, for you will be followed.
26:53  So Pharaoh sent gatherers to the cities
26:54  "These are but a small band.
26:55  "And they have done what has enraged us.
26:56  "And we are all gathered and forewarned.
26:57  So,We evicted them out of gardens and springs
26:58  Andtreasures and an honorable station
26:59  As such, We gave it to the Children of Israel
26:60  So they were pursued at sunrise
26:61  Butwhen the two groups saw each other, the companions of Moses said: "We are caught!"
26:62  He said: "No, my Lord is with me and He will guide me."
26:63  So We inspired to Moses: "Strike the sea with your staff." So it split into two, each side like a great mountain
26:64  AndWe then brought them to the other side
26:65  AndWe saved Moses and all those with him
26:66  Then We drowned the others
26:67  In that is a sign, but most of them are not believers.
26:68  Andyour Lord is the Noble, the Merciful
26:69  Andrecite to them the news of Abraham
26:70  When he said to his father and his people: "What do you worship?
26:71  They said: "We worship statues; thus we stay devoted to them.
26:72  He said: "Do they hear you when you call to them?
26:73  "Ordo they benefit you or harm you?
26:74  They said: "No, but we found our fathers doing the same.
26:75  He said: "Do you see that which you have been worshipping.
26:76  "You and your fathers of old.
26:77  "They are enemies to me, except for the Lord of the worlds.
26:78  "The One who has created me, He will guide me.
26:79  "And He is the One who feeds me and gives me to drink.
26:80  "And if I am sick, He is the One who cures me.
26:81  "And the One who will make me die and then bring me to life.
26:82  "And the One whom I hope will forgive my mistakes on the Day of Recompense.
26:83  "MyLord, grant me authority and join me with the good doers.
26:84  "And give me a tongue that is true for those who will follow.
26:85  "And make me of the inheritors of gardens of bliss.
26:86  "And forgive my father, for he was of those misguided.
26:87  "And do not disgrace me on the Day when they are resurrected.
26:88  "The Day when no money or sons can help.
26:89  "Except for he who comes to God with a pure heart.
26:90  Andthe Paradise was made near for the righteous
26:91  AndHell was displayed for the wrongdoers
26:92  Andit was said to them: "Where is what you used to worship?
26:93  "Without God; can they help you or help themselves?
26:94  So they were thrown in it on their faces, them and the wrongdoers
26:95  And all the soldiers of Satan
26:96  They said, while they were disputing therein
26:97  "ByGod, we were clearly misguided."
26:98  "For we equated you with the Lord of the worlds!
26:99  "And none misled us except the criminals.
26:100  "So we have none to intercede for us.
26:101  "Nora close friend.
26:102  "If only we could have another chance, we would be among the believers.
26:103  In that is a sign, but most of them are not believers
26:104  And your Lord is the Noble, the Merciful
26:105  The people of Noah disbelieved the messengers
26:106  Whentheir brother Noah said to them: "Will you not be righteous?
26:107  "I am to you a trustworthy messenger.
26:108  "So be aware of God and obey me.
26:109  "AndI do not ask you for any wage, for my reward is upon the Lord of the worlds.
26:110  "So be aware of God and obey me.
26:111  Theysaid: "Shall we believe to you when the lowest type of people have followed you?
26:112  He said: "And what knowledge do I have of what they used to do?
26:113  "Their judgment is on my Lord, if you could know.
26:114  "AndI will not drive away the believers.
26:115  "I am but a clear warner.
26:116  They said: "If you do not cease, O Noah, you will be of those who are stoned.
26:117  He said: "My Lord, my people have denied me!
26:118  "So open between me and them a rift, and save me and those who are with me of the believers.
26:119  So We saved him and those who were with him in the charged ship
26:120  Thenafter that We drowned the rest
26:121  In that is a sign, but most of them are not believers
26:122  And your Lord is the Noble, the Merciful
26:123  'Aad denied the messengers
26:124  For their brother Hud said to them: "Will you not be righteous?

26:127  "AndI do not ask you for any wage, for my reward is upon the Lord of the worlds.
26:128  "Do you build on every high place a symbol, for the sake of vanity!"
26:129  "Andyou take for yourselves strongholds, perhaps you will live forever?
26:130  "Andif you attack, you strike ruthlessly?
26:131  "So be aware of God and obey me.
26:132  "Andbe aware of the One who provided you with what you know.
26:133  "He provided you with livestock and sons.
26:134  "Andgardens and springs.
26:135  "I fear for you the retribution of a great day
26:136  Theysaid: "It is the same whether you preach or do not preach.
26:137  "This is nothing except an invention by the people of old.
26:138  "Andwe are not going to be punished.
26:139  So they denied him, and We destroyed them. In that is a sign, but most are not believers
26:140  And your Lord is the Noble, the Merciful
26:141  Thamud denied the messengers
26:142  For their brother Saleh said to them: "Will you not be righteous?

26:152  "Theones who corrupt in the land and are not reformers.
26:153  They said: "You are but one of those bewitched!
26:154  "Youare but a human being like us. So bring a sign if you are of the truthful ones.
26:155  He said: "This is a female camel, for her is a share of water, and for you is a share of water, each on an appointed day.
26:156  "Anddo not afflict her with harm, else the retribution of a great day will seize you.
26:157  But they slaughtered her, and they became regretful
26:158  So the retribution took them. In that is a sign, but most of them are not believers
26:159  And your Lord is the Noble, the Merciful

26:168  He said: "I am in severe opposition to your acts!
26:169  "My Lord, save me and my family from what they do.
26:170  So We saved him and his entire family
26:171  Except for an old woman who remained
26:172  ThenWe destroyed the others
26:173  And We rained upon them a rain. Miserable was the rain to those who had been warned
26:174  In that is a sign, but most of them are not believers
26:175  And that your Lord is the Noble, the Merciful
26:176  The people of the Sycamore disbelieved the messengers
26:177  For Shu'ayb said to them: "Will you not be righteous?
26:178  "I am to you a trustworthy messenger.
26:179  "So be aware of God and obey me.
26:180  "AndI do not ask you for any wage, for my reward is upon the Lord of the worlds.

26:185  Theysaid: "You are but one of those bewitched.
26:186  "Andyou are nothing but a human being like us, and we think you are one of those who lie.
26:187  "So let pieces from the heaven fall upon us if you are of those who are truthful!
26:188  He said: "My Lord is most aware of what you do.
26:189  But they denied him, so the retribution of the day of shadow took them. It was the retribution of a terrible day
26:190  In that is a sign, but most of them are not believers
26:191  And your Lord is the Noble, the Merciful
26:192  And this is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds
26:193  It was sent down with the trusted Spirit
26:194  Uponyour heart, so that you would be of the warners
26:195  In a clear Arabic tongue
26:196  And it is in the scriptures of old
26:197  Was it not a sign for them that the scholars of the Children of Israel knew it
26:198  And had We sent it down upon some of the foreigners
26:199  And he read it to them, they would not have believed in it
26:200  As such, We diverted it from the hearts of the criminals
26:201  Theydo not believe in it until they see the painful retribution
26:202  So it will come to them suddenly, while they do not perceive it
26:203  Thenthey would say: "Can we be given more time?
26:204  Was it not their wish that Our punishment be hastened
26:205  Do you see that if We gave them luxury for years
26:206  Thenwhat they were promised came to them
26:207  All the luxury they were given will not avail them
26:208  And We have not destroyed any town except after having warners
26:209  By way of a reminder, and We were never unjust
26:210  And it is not the devils who have brought this down.
26:211  Nor would they, nor could they
26:212  Theyare blocked from overhearing
26:213  So do not call upon any other god with God, else you will be with those punished
26:214  And warn your closest kin
26:215  And lower your wing for any who follow you of the believers
26:216  But,if they disobey you, say: "I am innocent from what you do.
26:217  And put your trust in the Noble, the Merciful
26:218  The One who sees you when you stand
26:219  And your movements among those who prostrate
26:220  He is the Hearer, the Knowledgeable
26:221  Shall I inform you on whom the devils come down
26:222  Theycome down on every sinful liar
26:223  Theyclaim to listen, but most of them are liars
26:224  And the poets, are followed by the strayers
26:225  Do you not see that they traverse in every valley
26:226  And that what they say, is not what they do!
26:227  Except for those who believe, and do good works, and remember God greatly, and were victorious after they were wronged. As for those who did wrong, they will know which fate they will meet
