26:1  Ta, Sa«n, Ma«m
26:2  These are the signs of the Manifest Book
26:3  You are liable to imperil your life [out of distress] that they will not have faith
26:4  If We wish We will send down to them a sign from the sky before which their heads will remain bowed in humility
26:5  There would not come to them any new reminder from the All-beneficent but that they used to disregard it
26:6  They have certainly denied [the truth], but soon there will come to them the news of what they have been deriding
26:7  Have they not regarded the earth, how many We have caused to grow in it of every splendid kind [of vegetation]
26:8  There is indeed a sign in that; but most of them do not have faith
26:9  Indeed your Lord is the All-mighty, the All-merciful
26:10  When your Lord called out to Moses: [saying,] ‘Go to the wrongdoing people
26:11  the people of Pharaoh. Will they not be wary [of Allah]?&rsquo
26:12  He said, ‘My Lord! I fear they will impugn me
26:13  and I will become upset, and my tongue will fail me. So send [Your messenger] to Aaron
26:14  Also they have a charge against me, and I fear they will kill me.’
26:15  He said, ‘Certainly not! Let the two of you go with Our signs: We will indeed be with you, hearing [everything]
26:16  So approach Pharaoh and say, ‘‘We are indeed envoys of the Lord of the world
26:17  that you let the Children of Israel go with us.’’ ’
26:18  He said, ‘Did we not rear you as a child among us, and did you not stay with us for years of your life
26:19  Then you committed that deed of yours, and you are an ingrate.’
26:20  He said, ‘I did that when I was astray
26:21  So I fled from you, as I was afraid of you. Then my Lord gave me judgement and made me one of the apostles
26:22  As for that favour, you remind me of it reproachfully because you have enslaved the Children of Israel.’
26:23  He said, ‘And what is ‘‘the Lord of all the worlds?’’ ’
26:24  He said, ‘The Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, —should you have conviction.’
26:25  He said to those who were around him, ‘Don’t you hear?!’
26:26  He said, ‘Your Lord, and the Lord of your forefathers!’
26:27  He said, ‘Indeed your messenger, who has been sent to you, is surely crazy!’
26:28  He said, ‘The Lord of the east and the west and whatever is between them —should you apply reason.’
26:29  He said, ‘If you take up any god other than me, I will surely make you a prisoner!’
26:30  He said, ‘What if I bring you something manifest?’
26:31  He said, ‘Then bring it, should you be truthful.’
26:32  Thereat he threw down his staff, and behold, it was a manifest python
26:33  Then he drew out his hand, and behold, it was white to the onlookers
26:34  He said to the elite [who stood] around him, ‘This is indeed an expert magicia
26:35  who seeks to expel you from your land with his magic. So what do you advise?’
26:36  They said, ‘Put him and his brother off for a while, and send heralds to the citie
26:37  to bring you every expert magician.’
26:38  So the magicians were gathered for the tryst of a known day
26:39  and the people were told: ‘Will you gather?!’
26:40  ‘Maybe we will follow the magicians, should they be the victors!’
26:41  So when the magicians came, they said to Pharaoh, ‘Shall we indeed have a reward if we were to be the victors?’
26:42  He said, ‘ Of course; and indeed you shall be among those near [to me].&rsquo
26:43  Moses said to them, ‘Throw down what you have to throw!’
26:44  So they threw down their sticks and ropes, and said, ‘By the might of Pharaoh, we shall surely be the victors!’
26:45  Thereat Moses threw down his staff, and behold, it was swallowing what they had faked
26:46  Thereat the magicians fell down prostrating
26:47  They said, ‘We believe in the Lord of all the worlds
26:48  the Lord of Moses and Aaron.’
26:49  He said, ‘Do you profess faith in Him before I permit you? He is indeed your chief who has taught you magic! Soon you will surely know! Surely I will cut off your hands and feet from opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all.’
26:50  They said, ‘[There is] no harm [in that]! Indeed we shall return to our Lord
26:51  Indeed we hope our Lord will forgive us our iniquities for being the first to believe.’
26:52  Then We revealed to Moses, [saying], ‘Take My servants on a journey by night, for you will be pursued.’
26:53  Then Pharaoh sent heralds to the cities
26:54  [announcing:] ‘These are indeed a small gang
26:55  They have surely aroused our wrath
26:56  and indeed we are all on our guard.’
26:57  So We expelled them from gardens and springs
26:58  and [from] treasures and splendid places
26:59  So it was; and We bequeathed them to the Children of Israel
26:60  Then they pursued them at sunrise
26:61  When the two hosts sighted each other, the companions of Moses said, ‘Indeed we have been caught up.’
26:62  He said, ‘Certainly not! Indeed my Lord is with me. He will guide me.’
26:63  Thereupon We revealed to Moses: ‘Strike the sea with your staff!’ Whereupon it parted, and each part was as if it were a great mountain
26:64  There, We brought the others near
26:65  And We delivered Moses and all those who were with him
26:66  Then We drowned the others
26:67  There is indeed a sign in that, but most of them do not have faith
26:68  Indeed your Lord is the All-mighty, the All-merciful
26:69  Relate to them the account of Abraha
26:70  when he said to his father and his people, ‘What is it that you are worshiping?!’
26:71  They said, ‘We worship idols, and we will go on clinging to them.’
26:72  He said, ‘Do they hear you when you call them
26:73  Or do they bring you any benefit, or cause you any harm?’
26:74  They said, ‘Rather we found our fathers acting likewise.’
26:75  He said, ‘Have you regarded what you have been worshipping
26:76  you and your ancestors
26:77  They are indeed hateful to me, but the Lord of all the worlds
26:78  who created me, it is He who guides me
26:79  and provides me with food and drink
26:80  and when I get sick, it is He who cures me
26:81  who will make me die, then He will bring me to life
26:82  and who, I hope, will forgive me my iniquities on the Day of Retribution.’
26:83  ‘My Lord! Grant me [unerring] judgement, and unite me with the Righteous
26:84  Confer on me a worthy repute among the posterity
26:85  and make me one of the heirs to the paradise of bliss
26:86  Forgive my father, for he is one of those who are astray
26:87  Do not disgrace me on the day that they will be resurrected
26:88  the day when neither wealth nor children will avail
26:89  except him who comes to Allah with a sound heart,’
26:90  and paradise will be brought near for the Godwary
26:91  and hell will be brought into view for the perverse
26:92  and they shall be told: ‘Where is that which you used to worship
26:93  besides Allah? Do they help you, or do they help each other?’
26:94  Then they will be cast into it on their faces —they and the perverse
26:95  and the hosts of Iblis all together
26:96  They will say, as they wrangle in it [together]
26:97  ‘By Allah, we had indeed been in manifest error
26:98  when we equated you with the Lord of all the worlds
26:99  And no one led us astray except the guilty
26:100  Now we have no intercessors
26:101  nor do we have any sympathetic friend
26:102  Had there been another turn for us, we would be among the faithful.’
26:103  There is indeed a sign in that; but most of them do not have faith
26:104  Indeed your Lord is the All-mighty, the All-merciful
26:105  The people of Noah impugned the apostle
26:106  when Noah, their brother, said to them, ‘Will you not be wary [of Allah]
26:107  Indeed I am a trusted apostle [sent] to you
26:108  So be wary of Allah and obey me
26:109  I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward lies only with the Lord of all the worlds
26:110  So be wary of Allah and obey me.’
26:111  They said, ‘Shall we believe in you, when it is the riffraff who follow you?’
26:112  He said, ‘What do I know as to what they used to do
26:113  Their reckoning is only with my Lord, should you be aware
26:114  I will not drive away the faithful
26:115  I am just a manifest warner.’
26:116  They said, ‘Noah, if you do not relinquish, you will certainly be stoned [to death].&rsquo
26:117  He said, ‘My Lord! Indeed my people have impugned me
26:118  So judge conclusively between me and them, and deliver me and the faithful who are with me.’
26:119  Thereupon We delivered him and those who were with him in the laden ark
26:120  Then We drowned the rest
26:121  There is indeed a sign in that; but most of them do not have faith
26:122  Indeed your Lord is the All-mighty, the All-merciful
26:123  [The people of] ‘a€d impugned the apostles
26:124  when Hud, their brother, said to them, ‘Will you not be wary [of Allah]
26:125  Indeed I am a trusted apostle [sent] to you
26:126  So be wary of Allah and obey me
26:127  I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward lies only with the Lord of all the worlds
26:128  Do you futilely build a sign on every prominence
26:129  You set up structures as if you will be immortal
26:130  and when you seize [someone for punishment], you seize [him] like tyrants
26:131  So be wary of Allah and obey me
26:132  And be wary of Him who has provided you with what you know
26:133  and aided you with sons and with cattle
26:134  gardens and springs
26:135  Indeed I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous day.’
26:136  They said, ‘It is the same to us whether you advise us or not
26:137  These are nothing but the traditions of the ancients
26:138  and we will not be punished.’
26:139  So they impugned him, whereupon We destroyed them. There is indeed a sign in that; but most of them do not have faith
26:140  Indeed your Lord is the All-mighty, the All-merciful
26:141  [The people of] Thamud impugned the apostle
26:142  when á¹¢aliḥ, their brother, said to them, ‘Will you not be wary [of Allah]
26:143  Indeed I am a trusted apostle [sent] to you
26:144  So be wary of Allah and obey me
26:145  I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward lies only with the Lord of all the worlds
26:146  Will you be left secure in that which is her
26:147  —amid gardens and springs
26:148  farms and date palms with dainty spathes
26:149  And you hew houses out of the mountains skillfully
26:150  So be wary of Allah and obey me
26:151  and do not obey the dictates of the profligate
26:152  who cause corruption in the land and do not bring about reform.’
26:153  They said, ‘Indeed you are one of the bewitched
26:154  You are just a human being like us. So bring us a sign, should you be truthful.’
26:155  He said, ‘This is a she-camel; she shall drink and you shall drink on known days
26:156  Do not cause her any harm, for then you shall be seized by the punishment of a terrible day.’
26:157  But they hamstrung her, whereupon they became regretful
26:158  So the punishment seized them. There is indeed a sign in that; but most of them do not have faith
26:159  Indeed your Lord is the All-mighty, the All-merciful
26:160  The people of Lot impugned the apostle
26:161  when Lot, their brother, said to them, ‘Will you not be wary [of Allah]
26:162  Indeed I am a trusted apostle [sent] to you
26:163  So be wary of Allah and obey me
26:164  I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward lies only with the Lord of all the worlds
26:165  What! Of all people do you come to males
26:166  abandoning your wives your Lord has created for you? Rather you are a transgressing lot.’
26:167  They said, ‘Lot, if you do not relinquish, you will surely be banished.’
26:168  He said, ‘Indeed I detest your conduct.’
26:169  ‘My Lord! Deliver me and my family from what they do.’
26:170  So We delivered him and all his family
26:171  except an old woman who remained behind
26:172  Then We destroyed [all] the others
26:173  and rained down upon them a rain [of stones]. Evil was the rain of those who were warned
26:174  There is indeed a sign in that; but most of them do not have faith
26:175  Indeed your Lord is the All-mighty, the All-merciful
26:176  The inhabitants of Aykah impugned the apostles
26:177  when Shu‘ayb said to them, ‘Will you not be wary [of Allah]
26:178  Indeed I am a trusted apostle [sent] to you
26:179  So be wary of Allah and obey me
26:180  I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward lies only with the Lord of all the worlds
26:181  Observe fully the measure, and do not be of those who give short measure
26:182  Weigh with an even balance
26:183  and do not cheat the people of their goods. Do not act wickedly on the earth, causing corruption
26:184  Be wary of Him who created you and the earlier generations.’
26:185  They said, ‘Indeed you are one of the bewitched
26:186  You are just a human being like us, and we indeed consider you to be a liar
26:187  Then make a fragment fall upon us from the sky, should you be truthful.’
26:188  He said, ‘My Lord knows best what you are doing.’
26:189  So they impugned him, and then they were overtaken by the punishment of the day of the overshadowing cloud. It was indeed the punishment of a tremendous day
26:190  There is indeed a sign in that; but most of them do not have faith
26:191  Indeed your Lord is the All-mighty, the All-merciful
26:192  This is indeed [a Book] sent down by the Lord of all the worlds
26:193  brought down by the Trustworthy Spiri
26:194  upon your heart (so that you may be one of the warners)
26:195  in a clear Arabic language
26:196  It is indeed [foretold] in the scriptures of the ancients
26:197  Is it not a sign for them that the learned of the Children of Israel recognize it
26:198  Had We sent it down upon some non-Ara
26:199  and had he recited it to them, they would not have believed in it
26:200  This is how We let it pass through the hearts of the guilty
26:201  they do not believe in it until they sight the painful punishment
26:202  It will overtake them suddenly while they are unaware
26:203  Thereupon they will say, ‘Shall we be granted any respite?’
26:204  So do they seek to hasten on Our punishment
26:205  Do you see, should We let them enjoy for some years
26:206  then there comes to them what they have been promised
26:207  of what avail to them will be that which they were given to enjoy
26:208  We have not destroyed any town without its having warners
26:209  for the sake of admonition, and We were not unjust
26:210  It has not been brought down by the devils
26:211  Neither does it behoove them, nor are they capable [of doing that]
26:212  Indeed they are kept at bay [even] from hearing it
26:213  So do not invoke any god besides Allah, lest you should be among the punished
26:214  Warn the nearest of your kinsfolk
26:215  and lower your wing to the faithful who follow you
26:216  But if they disobey you, say, ‘I am absolved of what you do.’
26:217  And put your trust in the All-mighty, the All-merciful
26:218  who sees you when you stand [for prayer]
26:219  and your going about among those who prostrate
26:220  Indeed He is the All-hearing, the All-knowing
26:221  Should I inform you on whom the devils descend
26:222  They descend on every sinful liar
26:223  They eavesdrop, and most of them are liars
26:224  As for the poets, [only] the perverse follow them
26:225  Have you not regarded that they rove in every valley
26:226  and that they say what they do not do
26:227  Barring those who have faith and do righteous deeds and remember Allah greatly, and aid each other after they have been wronged. And the wrongdoers will soon know at what goal they will end up
