| Chapter 26 | The Poets | |
| 227 Verses | ash-Shu’ara’ | الشعراء |
| 1 | In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. Ta, Seen, Meem. | بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ طسٓمٓ |
| 2 | These are the verses of the clear Book. | تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ |
| 3 | Perhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers. | لَعَلَّكَ بَـٰخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ |
| 4 | If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled. | إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَـٰقُهُمْ لَهَا خَـٰضِعِينَ |
| 5 | And no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it. | وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ |
| 6 | For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule. | فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنۢبَـٰٓؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ |
| 7 | Did they not look at the earth – how much We have produced therein from every noble kind? | أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍ |
| 8 | Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers. | إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ |
| 9 | And indeed, your Lord – He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful. | وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ |
| 10 | And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], “Go to the wrongdoing people – | وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئْتِ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ |
| 11 | The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allah?” | قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ |
| 12 | He said, “My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me | قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ |
| 13 | And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron. | وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِى وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِى فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَـٰرُونَ |
| 14 | And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me.” | وَلَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنۢبٌ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ |
| 15 | [Allah] said, “No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening. | قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ فَٱذْهَبَا بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ ۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ |
| 16 | Go to Pharaoh and say, ‘We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds, | فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ |
| 17 | [Commanded to say], “Send with us the Children of Israel.”‘” | أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ |
| 18 | [Pharaoh] said, “Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life? | قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ |
| 19 | And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful.” | وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِى فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ |
| 20 | [Moses] said, “I did it, then, while I was of those astray. | قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَآ إِذًا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ |
| 21 | So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me wisdom and prophethood and appointed me [as one] of the messengers. | فَفَرَرْتُ مِنكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِى رَبِّى حُكْمًا وَجَعَلَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ |
| 22 | And is this a favor of which you remind me – that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?” | وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ |
| 23 | Said Pharaoh, “And what is the Lord of the worlds?” | قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ |
| 24 | [Moses] said, “The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced.” | قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ |
| 25 | [Pharaoh] said to those around him, “Do you not hear?” | قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ |
| 26 | [Moses] said, “Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers.” | قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ |
| 27 | [Pharaoh] said, “Indeed, your ‘messenger’ who has been sent to you is mad.” | قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌ |
| 28 | [Moses] said, “Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason.” | قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ |
| 29 | [Pharaoh] said, “If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned.” | قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذْتَ إِلَـٰهًا غَيْرِى لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَسْجُونِينَ |
| 30 | [Moses] said, “Even if I brought you proof manifest?” | قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَىْءٍ مُّبِينٍ |
| 31 | [Pharaoh] said, “Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful.” | قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ |
| 32 | So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest. | فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِينٌ |
| 33 | And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers. | وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّـٰظِرِينَ |
| 34 | [Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, “Indeed, this is a learned magician. | قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَسَـٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌ |
| 35 | He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise?” | يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ |
| 36 | They said, “Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers | قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبْعَثْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَـٰشِرِينَ |
| 37 | Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician.” | يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍ |
| 38 | So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day. | فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَـٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ |
| 39 | And it was said to the people, “Will you congregate | وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ |
| 40 | That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?” | لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ |
| 41 | And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, “Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?” | فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ |
| 42 | He said, “Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me].” | قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ |
| 43 | Moses said to them, “Throw whatever you will throw.” | قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ |
| 44 | So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, “By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant.” | فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ |
| 45 | Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified. | فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ |
| 46 | So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah]. | فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَـٰجِدِينَ |
| 47 | They said, “We have believed in the Lord of the worlds, | قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ |
| 48 | The Lord of Moses and Aaron.” | رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ |
| 49 | [Pharaoh] said, “You believed Moses before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all.” | قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَـٰفٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ |
| 50 | They said, “No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return. | قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ |
| 51 | Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers.” | إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَـٰيَـٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ |
| 52 | And We inspired to Moses, “Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued.” | ۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ |
| 53 | Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers | فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَـٰشِرِينَ |
| 54 | [And said], “Indeed, those are but a small band, | إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ |
| 55 | And indeed, they are enraging us, | وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ |
| 56 | And indeed, we are a cautious society… “ | وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَـٰذِرُونَ |
| 57 | So We removed them from gardens and springs | فَأَخْرَجْنَـٰهُم مِّن جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ |
| 58 | And treasures and honorable station – | وَكُنُوزٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ |
| 59 | Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel. | كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَـٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ |
| 60 | So they pursued them at sunrise. | فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ |
| 61 | And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, “Indeed, we are to be overtaken!” | فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَـٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ |
| 62 | [Moses] said, “No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me.” | قَالَ كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ |
| 63 | Then We inspired to Moses, “Strike with your staff the sea,” and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain. | فَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْبَحْرَ ۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍ كَٱلطَّوْدِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ |
| 64 | And We advanced thereto the pursuers. | وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ |
| 65 | And We saved Moses and those with him, all together. | وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ |
| 66 | Then We drowned the others. | ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ |
| 67 | Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers. | إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ |
| 68 | And indeed, your Lord – He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful. | وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ |
| 69 | And recite to them the news of Abraham, | وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ |
| 70 | When he said to his father and his people, “What do you worship?” | إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ |
| 71 | They said, “We worship idols and remain to them devoted.” | قَالُوا۟ نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَـٰكِفِينَ |
| 72 | He said, “Do they hear you when you supplicate? | قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ |
| 73 | Or do they benefit you, or do they harm?” | أَوْ يَنفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ |
| 74 | They said, “But we found our fathers doing thus.” | قَالُوا۟ بَلْ وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ |
| 75 | He said, “Then do you see what you have been worshipping, | قَالَ أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ |
| 76 | You and your ancient forefathers? | أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلْأَقْدَمُونَ |
| 77 | Indeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds, | فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّ لِّىٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ |
| 78 | Who created me, and He [it is who] guides me. | ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَنِى فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ |
| 79 | And it is He who feeds me and gives me drink. | وَٱلَّذِى هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِى وَيَسْقِينِ |
| 80 | And when I am ill, it is He who cures me | وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ |
| 81 | And who will cause me to die and then bring me to life | وَٱلَّذِى يُمِيتُنِى ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ |
| 82 | And who I aspire that He will forgive me my sin on the Day of Recompense.” | وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لِى خَطِيٓـَٔتِى يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ |
| 83 | [And he said], “My Lord, grant me authority and join me with the righteous. | رَبِّ هَبْ لِى حُكْمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِى بِٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ |
| 84 | And grant me a reputation of honor among later generations. | وَٱجْعَل لِّى لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ |
| 85 | And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Pleasure. | وَٱجْعَلْنِى مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ |
| 86 | And forgive my father. Indeed, he has been of those astray. | وَٱغْفِرْ لِأَبِىٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ |
| 87 | And do not disgrace me on the Day they are [all] resurrected – | وَلَا تُخْزِنِى يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ |
| 88 | The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children | يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌ وَلَا بَنُونَ |
| 89 | But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart.” | إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ |
| 90 | And Paradise will be brought near [that Day] to the righteous. | وَأُزْلِفَتِ ٱلْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ |
| 91 | And Hellfire will be brought forth for the deviators, | وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَ |
| 92 | And it will be said to them, “Where are those you used to worship | وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ |
| 93 | Other than Allah? Can they help you or help themselves?” | مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلْ يَنصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنتَصِرُونَ |
| 94 | So they will be overturned into Hellfire, they and the deviators | فَكُبْكِبُوا۟ فِيهَا هُمْ وَٱلْغَاوُۥنَ |
| 95 | And the soldiers of Iblees, all together. | وَجُنُودُ إِبْلِيسَ أَجْمَعُونَ |
| 96 | They will say while they dispute therein, | قَالُوا۟ وَهُمْ فِيهَا يَخْتَصِمُونَ |
| 97 | By Allah, we were indeed in manifest error | تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ |
| 98 | When we equated you with the Lord of the worlds. | إِذْ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ |
| 99 | And no one misguided us except the criminals. | وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ |
| 100 | So now we have no intercessors | فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَـٰفِعِينَ |
| 101 | And not a devoted friend. | وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍ |
| 102 | Then if we only had a return [to the world] and could be of the believers. | فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ |
| 103 | Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers. | إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ |
| 104 | And indeed, your Lord – He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful. | وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ |
| 105 | The people of Noah denied the messengers | كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ |
| 106 | When their brother Noah said to them, “Will you not fear Allah? | إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ |
| 107 | Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger. | إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ |
| 108 | So fear Allah and obey me. | فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ |
| 109 | And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds. | وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ |
| 110 | So fear Allah and obey me.” | فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ |
| 111 | They said, “Should we believe you while you are followed by the lowest [class of people]?” | ۞ قَالُوٓا۟ أَنُؤْمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلْأَرْذَلُونَ |
| 112 | He said, “And what is my knowledge of what they used to do? | قَالَ وَمَا عِلْمِى بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ |
| 113 | Their account is only upon my Lord, if you [could] perceive. | إِنْ حِسَابُهُمْ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّى ۖ لَوْ تَشْعُرُونَ |
| 114 | And I am not one to drive away the believers. | وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ |
| 115 | I am only a clear warner.” | إِنْ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ |
| 116 | They said, “If you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be of those who are stoned.” | قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَـٰنُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمَرْجُومِينَ |
| 117 | He said, “My Lord, indeed my people have denied me. | قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِى كَذَّبُونِ |
| 118 | Then judge between me and them with decisive judgement and save me and those with me of the believers.” | فَٱفْتَحْ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَتْحًا وَنَجِّنِى وَمَن مَّعِىَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ |
| 119 | So We saved him and those with him in the laden ship. | فَأَنجَيْنَـٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ |
| 120 | Then We drowned thereafter the remaining ones. | ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا بَعْدُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ |
| 121 | Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers. | إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ |
| 122 | And indeed, your Lord – He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful. | وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ |
| 123 | ‘Aad denied the messengers | كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ |
| 124 | When their brother Hud said to them, “Will you not fear Allah? | إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ |
| 125 | Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger. | إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ |
| 126 | So fear Allah and obey me. | فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ |
| 127 | And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds. | وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ |
| 128 | Do you construct on every elevation a sign, amusing yourselves, | أَتَبْنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِيعٍ ءَايَةً تَعْبَثُونَ |
| 129 | And take for yourselves palaces and fortresses that you might abide eternally? | وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَخْلُدُونَ |
| 130 | And when you strike, you strike as tyrants. | وَإِذَا بَطَشْتُم بَطَشْتُمْ جَبَّارِينَ |
| 131 | So fear Allah and obey me. | فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ |
| 132 | And fear He who provided you with that which you know, | وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَمَدَّكُم بِمَا تَعْلَمُونَ |
| 133 | Provided you with grazing livestock and children | أَمَدَّكُم بِأَنْعَـٰمٍ وَبَنِينَ |
| 134 | And gardens and springs. | وَجَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ |
| 135 | Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day.” | إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ |
| 136 | They said, “It is all the same to us whether you advise or are not of the advisors. | قَالُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْنَآ أَوَعَظْتَ أَمْ لَمْ تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْوَٰعِظِينَ |
| 137 | This is not but the custom of the former peoples, | إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا خُلُقُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ |
| 138 | And we are not to be punished.” | وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ |
| 139 | And they denied him, so We destroyed them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers. | فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهْلَكْنَـٰهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ |
| 140 | And indeed, your Lord – He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful. | وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ |
| 141 | Thamud denied the messengers | كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ |
| 142 | When their brother Salih said to them, “Will you not fear Allah? | إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ صَـٰلِحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ |
| 143 | Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger. | إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ |
| 144 | So fear Allah and obey me. | فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ |
| 145 | And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds. | وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ |
| 146 | Will you be left in what is here, secure [from death], | أَتُتْرَكُونَ فِى مَا هَـٰهُنَآ ءَامِنِينَ |
| 147 | Within gardens and springs | فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ |
| 148 | And fields of crops and palm trees with softened fruit? | وَزُرُوعٍ وَنَخْلٍ طَلْعُهَا هَضِيمٌ |
| 149 | And you carve out of the mountains, homes, with skill. | وَتَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا فَـٰرِهِينَ |
| 150 | So fear Allah and obey me. | فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ |
| 151 | And do not obey the order of the transgressors, | وَلَا تُطِيعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ |
| 152 | Who cause corruption in the land and do not amend.” | ٱلَّذِينَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ |
| 153 | They said, “You are only of those affected by magic. | قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ |
| 154 | You are but a man like ourselves, so bring a sign, if you should be of the truthful.” | مَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا فَأْتِ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ |
| 155 | He said, “This is a she-camel. For her is a [time of] drink, and for you is a [time of] drink, [each] on a known day. | قَالَ هَـٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةٌ لَّهَا شِرْبٌ وَلَكُمْ شِرْبُ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ |
| 156 | And do not touch her with harm, lest you be seized by the punishment of a terrible day.” | وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ |
| 157 | But they hamstrung her and so became regretful. | فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ نَـٰدِمِينَ |
| 158 | And the punishment seized them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers. | فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ |
| 159 | And indeed, your Lord – He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful. | وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ |
| 160 | The people of Lot denied the messengers | كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ |
| 161 | When their brother Lot said to them, “Will you not fear Allah? | إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ لُوطٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ |
| 162 | Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger. | إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ |
| 163 | So fear Allah and obey me. | فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ |
| 164 | And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds. | وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ |
| 165 | Do you approach males among the worlds | أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ |
| 166 | And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing.” | وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَٰجِكُم ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ عَادُونَ |
| 167 | They said, “If you do not desist, O Lot, you will surely be of those evicted.” | قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَـٰلُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْرَجِينَ |
| 168 | He said, “Indeed, I am, toward your deed, of those who detest [it]. | قَالَ إِنِّى لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلْقَالِينَ |
| 169 | My Lord, save me and my family from [the consequence of] what they do.” | رَبِّ نَجِّنِى وَأَهْلِى مِمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ |
| 170 | So We saved him and his family, all, | فَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ |
| 171 | Except an old woman among those who remained behind. | إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِى ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ |
| 172 | Then We destroyed the others. | ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ |
| 173 | And We rained upon them a rain [of stones], and evil was the rain of those who were warned. | وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرًا ۖ فَسَآءَ مَطَرُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ |
| 174 | Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers. | إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ |
| 175 | And indeed, your Lord – He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful. | وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ |
| 176 | The companions of the thicket denied the messengers | كَذَّبَ أَصْحَـٰبُ لْـَٔيْكَةِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ |
| 177 | When Shu’ayb said to them, “Will you not fear Allah? | إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ شُعَيْبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ |
| 178 | Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger. | إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ |
| 179 | So fear Allah and obey me. | فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ |
| 180 | And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds. | وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ |
| 181 | Give full measure and do not be of those who cause loss. | ۞ أَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْسِرِينَ |
| 182 | And weigh with an even balance. | وَزِنُوا۟ بِٱلْقِسْطَاسِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِ |
| 183 | And do not deprive people of their due and do not commit abuse on earth, spreading corruption. | وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا۟ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ |
| 184 | And fear He who created you and the former creation.” | وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ وَٱلْجِبِلَّةَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ |
| 185 | They said, “You are only of those affected by magic. | قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ |
| 186 | You are but a man like ourselves, and indeed, we think you are among the liars. | وَمَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ |
| 187 | So cause to fall upon us fragments of the sky, if you should be of the truthful.” | فَأَسْقِطْ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ |
| 188 | He said, “My Lord is most knowing of what you do.” | قَالَ رَبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ |
| 189 | And they denied him, so the punishment of the day of the black cloud seized them. Indeed, it was the punishment of a terrible day. | فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ |
| 190 | Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers. | إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ |
| 191 | And indeed, your Lord – He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful. | وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ |
| 192 | And indeed, the Qur’an is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds. | وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ |
| 193 | The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down | نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْأَمِينُ |
| 194 | Upon your heart, [O Muhammad] – that you may be of the warners – | عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ |
| 195 | In a clear Arabic language. | بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِىٍّ مُّبِينٍ |
| 196 | And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples. | وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِى زُبُرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ |
| 197 | And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel? | أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ ءَايَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَـٰٓؤُا۟ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ |
| 198 | And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners | وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَـٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ ٱلْأَعْجَمِينَ |
| 199 | And he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it. | فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنِينَ |
| 200 | Thus have We inserted disbelief into the hearts of the criminals. | كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَـٰهُ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ |
| 201 | They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment. | لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ |
| 202 | And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not. | فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ |
| 203 | And they will say, “May we be reprieved?” | فَيَقُولُوا۟ هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ |
| 204 | So for Our punishment are they impatient? | أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ |
| 205 | Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years | أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ سِنِينَ |
| 206 | And then there came to them that which they were promised? | ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ |
| 207 | They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided. | مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُمَتَّعُونَ |
| 208 | And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners | وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ |
| 209 | As a reminder; and never have We been unjust. | ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِينَ |
| 210 | And the devils have not brought the revelation down. | وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينُ |
| 211 | It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able. | وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ |
| 212 | Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed. | إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ |
| 213 | So do not invoke with Allah another deity and [thus] be among the punished. | فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُعَذَّبِينَ |
| 214 | And warn, [O Muhammad], your closest kindred. | وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ |
| 215 | And lower your wing to those who follow you of the believers. | وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ |
| 216 | And if they disobey you, then say, “Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing.” | فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ |
| 217 | And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful, | وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ |
| 218 | Who sees you when you arise | ٱلَّذِى يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ |
| 219 | And your movement among those who prostrate. | وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ |
| 220 | Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing. | إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ |
| 221 | Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend? | هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينُ |
| 222 | They descend upon every sinful liar. | تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ |
| 223 | They pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars. | يُلْقُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَـٰذِبُونَ |
| 224 | And the poets – [only] the deviators follow them; | وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلْغَاوُۥنَ |
| 225 | Do you not see that in every valley they roam | أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ |
| 226 | And that they say what they do not do? – | وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ |
| 227 | Except those [poets] who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allah often and defend [the Muslims] after they were wronged. And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned. | إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَٱنتَصَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَىَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ |
