Sura 26: AL-SHUARA (THE POETS) - Juz' 19 - Translation Qarib

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
طسم ﴿۱﴾
TaSeenMeem. (1)
تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ ﴿۲﴾
Those are the verses of the clear Book. (2)
لَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿۳﴾
Perhaps you consume yourself that they are not believers. (3)
إِنْ نَشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ آيَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَاقُهُمْ لَهَا خَاضِعِينَ ﴿۴﴾
If We will, We can send down on them a sign from heaven before which their necks will remain humbled. (4)
وَمَا يَأْتِيهِمْ مِنْ ذِكْرٍ مِنَ الرَّحْمَنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ ﴿۵﴾
A fresh remembrance has never come to them from the Merciful, except they turn away from it. (5)
فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنْبَاءُ مَا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ ﴿۶﴾
So, they belied, but surely the tidings of that they mocked will come to them. (6)
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنْبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍ ﴿۷﴾
Have they not seen the earth, how many We caused to grow in it every generous kind? (7)
إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿۸﴾
Surely, in this there is a sign yet most of them do not believe. (8)
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ ﴿۹﴾
Your Lord, He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful. (9)
وَإِذْ نَادَى رَبُّكَ مُوسَى أَنِ ائْتِ الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ ﴿۱۰﴾
And when your Lord called to Moses, saying: 'Go to the harmdoing nation, (10)
قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ ﴿۱۱﴾
the nation of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Me? ' (11)
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يُكَذِّبُونِ ﴿۱۲﴾
'My Lord, ' he replied, 'I fear they will belie me (12)
وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِي وَلَا يَنْطَلِقُ لِسَانِي فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَى هَارُونَ ﴿۱۳﴾
and my chest will become constricted and my tongue will not be loosed (in my speech), therefore, send to Aaron. (13)
وَلَهُمْ عَلَيَّ ذَنْبٌ فَأَخَافُ أَنْ يَقْتُلُونِ ﴿۱۴﴾
They hold a sin against me, and I fear that they will kill me. ' (14)
قَالَ كَلَّا فَاذْهَبَا بِآيَاتِنَا إِنَّا مَعَكُمْ مُسْتَمِعُونَ ﴿۱۵﴾
He said: 'Never so, go both of you with Our signs; We shall be with you, listening (15)
فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَا إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿۱۶﴾
go both to Pharaoh and both of you say to him: 'We are (each) a Messenger from the Lord of all the Worlds. (16)
أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ﴿۱۷﴾
Send forth with us the Children of Israel. ' (17)
قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ ﴿۱۸﴾
He (Pharaoh) said (to Moses): 'Did We not bring you up when you were a child? And have you not spent years of your life amongst us? (18)
وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ الَّتِي فَعَلْتَ وَأَنْتَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ ﴿۱۹﴾
Yet you were ungrateful and have done the deed you did. ' (19)
قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَا إِذًا وَأَنَا مِنَ الضَّالِّينَ ﴿۲۰﴾
He (Moses) replied: 'Indeed, I did that when I was among those who stray. (20)
فَفَرَرْتُ مِنْكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِي رَبِّي حُكْمًا وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿۲۱﴾
I fled from you because I feared you. But my Lord has given me judgment and made me one of the Messengers. (21)
وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَيَّ أَنْ عَبَّدْتَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ﴿۲۲﴾
Is this then the blessing with which you reproach me, that you have the Children of Israel for worshipers! ' (22)
قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿۲۳﴾
Pharaoh said: 'And what is the Lord of the Worlds? ' (23)
قَالَ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُوقِنِينَ ﴿۲۴﴾
'He' (Moses) replied: 'is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if you believe! ' (24)
قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ ﴿۲۵﴾
'Do you not hear? ' said he (Pharaoh) to those around him. (25)
قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ آبَائِكُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿۲۶﴾
He said, 'Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers, the ancients. ' (26)
قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ الَّذِي أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌ ﴿۲۷﴾
(Pharaoh) said: 'Surely, the Messenger who has been sent to you is mad!' (27)
قَالَ رَبُّ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ ﴿۲۸﴾
'He is the Lord of the East and the West, ' said he (Moses), 'and all that is between them, if you could understand! ' (28)
قَالَ لَئِنِ اتَّخَذْتَ إِلَهًا غَيْرِي لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ الْمَسْجُونِينَ ﴿۲۹﴾
'If you take any other god except myself, ' he (Pharaoh) replied, 'you shall be thrown into prison. ' (29)
قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَيْءٍ مُبِينٍ ﴿۳۰﴾
'What, even if I brought you something clear, ' said he (Moses). (30)
قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِ إِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ ﴿۳۱﴾
He (Pharaoh) replied: 'Show us your sign, if you are of the truthful. ' (31)
فَأَلْقَى عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُبِينٌ ﴿۳۲﴾
He cast down his staff and thereupon it was a clear serpent. (32)
وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ بَيْضَاءُ لِلنَّاظِرِينَ ﴿۳۳﴾
Then he drew out his hand, and it was luminous to the onlookers. (33)
قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُ إِنَّ هَذَا لَسَاحِرٌ عَلِيمٌ ﴿۳۴﴾
'This', said he (Pharaoh) to his Council, 'is a cunning sorcerer (34)
يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِكُمْ بِسِحْرِهِ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ ﴿۳۵﴾
who seeks to expel you from your land by his sorcery. What is your counsel? ' (35)
قَالُوا أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَابْعَثْ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِينَ ﴿۳۶﴾
They replied: 'Put him and his brother off for a while, and send heralds to your cities (36)
يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍ ﴿۳۷﴾
to bring every knowledgeable sorcerer. ' (37)
فَجُمِعَ السَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَعْلُومٍ ﴿۳۸﴾
The sorcerers were gathered at the appointed time on a wellknown day, (38)
وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُجْتَمِعُونَ ﴿۳۹﴾
and the people were asked: 'Will you gather (39)
لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ السَّحَرَةَ إِنْ كَانُوا هُمُ الْغَالِبِينَ ﴿۴۰﴾
in order that we shall follow the sorcerers if they are the victors. ' (40)
فَلَمَّا جَاءَ السَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِنْ كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغَالِبِينَ ﴿۴۱﴾
Then, when the sorcerers came to Pharaoh, they said: 'Shall we receive a wage if we win? ' (41)
قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ ﴿۴۲﴾
'Yes, indeed' he answered, 'and you shall become among those who are near stationed. ' (42)
قَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى أَلْقُوا مَا أَنْتُمْ مُلْقُونَ ﴿۴۳﴾
Moses said to them: 'Cast down what you cast. ' (43)
فَأَلْقَوْا حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْغَالِبُونَ ﴿۴۴﴾
So they cast their ropes and staffs, saying: 'By Pharaoh's might, we shall be the victors. ' (44)
فَأَلْقَى مُوسَى عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ ﴿۴۵﴾
Then Moses cast down his staff and it swallowed up their lying invention, (45)
فَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سَاجِدِينَ ﴿۴۶﴾
so the sorcerers were cast down, prostrating themselves, (46)
قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿۴۷﴾
saying: 'We believe in the Lord of the Worlds, (47)
رَبِّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ ﴿۴۸﴾
the Lord of Moses and Aaron. ' (48)
قَالَ آمَنْتُمْ لَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ آذَنَ لَكُمْ إِنَّهُ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ الَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ مِنْ خِلَافٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ﴿۴۹﴾
He (Pharaoh) said: 'You have believed him before I have given you permission. He is the chief of you who has taught you sorcery. But you shall know. I will surely cut off on opposite sides a hand and a foot, and crucify you all.' (49)
قَالُوا لَا ضَيْرَ إِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا مُنْقَلِبُونَ ﴿۵۰﴾
'There is no harm, ' they replied, 'for surely to our Lord we are turning. (50)
إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَايَانَا أَنْ كُنَّا أَوَّلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿۵۱﴾
We are eager that Our Lord should forgive us our offenses, for we are the first of the believers. ' (51)
وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى مُوسَى أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِي إِنَّكُمْ مُتَّبَعُونَ ﴿۵۲﴾
Also, We revealed to Moses, saying: 'Go with My worshipers by night, for you will be followed. ' (52)
فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِينَ ﴿۵۳﴾
Then Pharaoh sent gatherers to the cities. (53)
إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ ﴿۵۴﴾
'These, ' they said, 'are a small band, (54)
وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَائِظُونَ ﴿۵۵﴾
they have enraged us, (55)
وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَاذِرُونَ ﴿۵۶﴾
and we are a host on our guard. ' (56)
فَأَخْرَجْنَاهُمْ مِنْ جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ ﴿۵۷﴾
As such We expelled them from their gardens and their fountains, (57)
وَكُنُوزٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ ﴿۵۸﴾
their treasures and a noble station. (58)
كَذَلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَاهَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ﴿۵۹﴾
As such we gave it to the Children of Israel. (59)
فَأَتْبَعُوهُمْ مُشْرِقِينَ ﴿۶۰﴾
At sunrise, they followed them. (60)
فَلَمَّا تَرَاءَى الْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَابُ مُوسَى إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ ﴿۶۱﴾
And when the two hosts came in view of each other, Moses' companions said: 'We have been reached! ' (61)
قَالَ كَلَّا إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ ﴿۶۲﴾
'No, indeed' he replied, 'my Lord is with me and He will guide me. ' (62)
فَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى مُوسَى أَنِ اضْرِبْ بِعَصَاكَ الْبَحْرَ فَانْفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍ كَالطَّوْدِ الْعَظِيمِ ﴿۶۳﴾
Then We revealed to Moses: 'Strike the sea with your staff', so it divided and each part was as a mighty mount. (63)
وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ الْآخَرِينَ ﴿۶۴﴾
And there We brought the others on, (64)
وَأَنْجَيْنَا مُوسَى وَمَنْ مَعَهُ أَجْمَعِينَ ﴿۶۵﴾
and We saved Moses and those who were with him together, (65)
ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا الْآخَرِينَ ﴿۶۶﴾
then, We drowned the others. (66)
إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿۶۷﴾
Surely, in that there is a sign; yet most of them do not believe. (67)
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ ﴿۶۸﴾
Surely, your Lord is the Almighty, the Most Merciful. (68)
وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ﴿۶۹﴾
And recite to them the news of Abraham. (69)
إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ ﴿۷۰﴾
He said to his father and to his nation: 'What do you worship? ' (70)
قَالُوا نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَاكِفِينَ ﴿۷۱﴾
They replied: 'We worship idols and continue cleaving to them. ' (71)
قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ ﴿۷۲﴾
'Do they hear you when you call on them? ' He asked. (72)
أَوْ يَنْفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ ﴿۷۳﴾
'Can they benefit you or harm you? ' (73)
قَالُوا بَلْ وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا كَذَلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ ﴿۷۴﴾
They replied: 'No, but we found our fathers doing so. ' (74)
قَالَ أَفَرَأَيْتُمْ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ ﴿۷۵﴾
He said: 'Have you considered what you worship, (75)
أَنْتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمُ الْأَقْدَمُونَ ﴿۷۶﴾
you, and your elderly fathers? (76)
فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّ لِي إِلَّا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿۷۷﴾
They are enemies to me except the Lord of all the Worlds (77)
الَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ ﴿۷۸﴾
who created me; and He guides me, (78)
وَالَّذِي هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِي وَيَسْقِينِ ﴿۷۹﴾
and He gives me to eat and drink, (79)
وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ ﴿۸۰﴾
who, when I am sick, heals me; (80)
وَالَّذِي يُمِيتُنِي ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ ﴿۸۱﴾
who makes me to die and then revives me, (81)
وَالَّذِي أَطْمَعُ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ لِي خَطِيئَتِي يَوْمَ الدِّينِ ﴿۸۲﴾
and whom I am eager shall forgive me my sins on the Day of Recompense. ' (82)
رَبِّ هَبْ لِي حُكْمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ ﴿۸۳﴾
My Lord, give me judgment, and join me with the righteous. (83)
وَاجْعَلْ لِي لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِي الْآخِرِينَ ﴿۸۴﴾
And appoint me a tongue of truthfulness among the latter. (84)
وَاجْعَلْنِي مِنْ وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ النَّعِيمِ ﴿۸۵﴾
and place me amongst the inheritors of the Garden of Bliss. (85)
وَاغْفِرْ لِأَبِي إِنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الضَّالِّينَ ﴿۸۶﴾
and forgive my father, for he was among the astray. (86)
وَلَا تُخْزِنِي يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ ﴿۸۷﴾
Do not degrade me on the Day when they are resurrected. (87)
يَوْمَ لَا يَنْفَعُ مَالٌ وَلَا بَنُونَ ﴿۸۸﴾
The Day when neither wealth nor sons shall benefit (88)
إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى اللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ ﴿۸۹﴾
except him who comes before Allah with a pure heart; (89)
وَأُزْلِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ ﴿۹۰﴾
and Paradise shall be brought forward to the cautious. (90)
وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَ ﴿۹۱﴾
And Hell is brought near to the perverse. ' (91)
وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ ﴿۹۲﴾
It will be said to them: 'Where is that you worshipped, (92)
مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ هَلْ يَنْصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنْتَصِرُونَ ﴿۹۳﴾
other than Allah? Do they help you or even help themselves? ' (93)
فَكُبْكِبُوا فِيهَا هُمْ وَالْغَاوُونَ ﴿۹۴﴾
And they will be pitched into it, they and the perverse (94)
وَجُنُودُ إِبْلِيسَ أَجْمَعُونَ ﴿۹۵﴾
and the hosts of iblis all together. (95)
قَالُوا وَهُمْ فِيهَا يَخْتَصِمُونَ ﴿۹۶﴾
And they will say while they dispute with one another, (96)
تَاللَّهِ إِنْ كُنَّا لَفِي ضَلَالٍ مُبِينٍ ﴿۹۷﴾
'By Allah, we were certainly in clear error, (97)
إِذْ نُسَوِّيكُمْ بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿۹۸﴾
when we made you equal with the Lord of the Worlds. (98)
وَمَا أَضَلَّنَا إِلَّا الْمُجْرِمُونَ ﴿۹۹﴾
It was nothing but the evildoers who led us astray. (99)
فَمَا لَنَا مِنْ شَافِعِينَ ﴿۱۰۰﴾
We have no intercessors now, (100)
وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍ ﴿۱۰۱﴾
no caring friend. (101)
فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿۱۰۲﴾
Would that we might return again, and be among the believers. ' (102)
إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿۱۰۳﴾
Surely, in that there is a sign, yet most of them do not believe. (103)
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ ﴿۱۰۴﴾
Surely, Your Lord is the Almighty, the Most Merciful. (104)
كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ الْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿۱۰۵﴾
The nation of Noah, belied their Messengers. (105)
إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ﴿۱۰۶﴾
when Noah, their brother, said to them: 'Will you not be cautious? (106)
إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ ﴿۱۰۷﴾
I am for you an honest Messenger, (107)
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ﴿۱۰۸﴾
so fear Allah, and obey me. (108)
وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿۱۰۹﴾
For this I ask of you no wage, for my wage falls only on the Lord of the Worlds. (109)
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ﴿۱۱۰﴾
So fear Allah and obey me. ' (110)
قَالُوا أَنُؤْمِنُ لَكَ وَاتَّبَعَكَ الْأَرْذَلُونَ ﴿۱۱۱﴾
They replied: 'Are we to believe you whom the lowliest follow? ' (111)
قَالَ وَمَا عِلْمِي بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿۱۱۲﴾
He said: 'I have no knowledge of what they have done. (112)
إِنْ حِسَابُهُمْ إِلَّا عَلَى رَبِّي لَوْ تَشْعُرُونَ ﴿۱۱۳﴾
Their account falls only upon My Lord, if you were but aware. (113)
وَمَا أَنَا بِطَارِدِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿۱۱۴﴾
I will not drive away the believers. (114)
إِنْ أَنَا إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ مُبِينٌ ﴿۱۱۵﴾
I am only a clear warner. ' (115)
قَالُوا لَئِنْ لَمْ تَنْتَهِ يَا نُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمَرْجُومِينَ ﴿۱۱۶﴾
'Noah, ' they replied, 'if you do not desist you shall be of those stoned. ' (116)
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِي كَذَّبُونِ ﴿۱۱۷﴾
He said: 'My Lord, my nation have belied me. (117)
فَافْتَحْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَتْحًا وَنَجِّنِي وَمَنْ مَعِيَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿۱۱۸﴾
So open between me and them an opening, and save me and the believers who are with me. ' (118)
فَأَنْجَيْنَاهُ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ فِي الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُونِ ﴿۱۱۹﴾
We saved him and those who were with him in the laden ship, (119)
ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا بَعْدُ الْبَاقِينَ ﴿۱۲۰﴾
afterwards, We drowned the rest. (120)
إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿۱۲۱﴾
Surely, in that there is a sign; yet most of them do not believe. (121)
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ ﴿۱۲۲﴾
Your Lord is the Almighty, the Most Merciful. (122)
كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ الْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿۱۲۳﴾
(The nation of) Aad belied their Messengers. (123)
إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ﴿۱۲۴﴾
When their brother Hood said to them: 'Will you not be cautious? (124)
إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ ﴿۱۲۵﴾
I am for you an honest Messenger. (125)
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ﴿۱۲۶﴾
Fear Allah and obey me. (126)
وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿۱۲۷﴾
For this I ask of you no wage, for my wage falls only on the Lord of the Worlds. (127)

That is nothing but a habit of the ancients, (137)

الَّذِينَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ ﴿۱۵۲﴾

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ ﴿۱۵۹﴾
Your Lord, He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful. (159)
كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍ الْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿۱۶۰﴾

فَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ أَجْمَعِينَ ﴿۱۷۰﴾

إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِي الْغَابِرِينَ ﴿۱۷۱﴾
except an old woman who stayed behind, (171)

I ask of you no wage for this; my wage is only with the Lord of the Worlds. (180)
أَوْفُوا الْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا مِنَ الْمُخْسِرِينَ ﴿۱۸۱﴾
Fill up the measure, do not be among the cheats, (181)
وَزِنُوا بِالْقِسْطَاسِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ ﴿۱۸۲﴾
and weigh with the straight scale, (182)
وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ أَشْيَاءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ ﴿۱۸۳﴾
and do not diminish the goods of the people, and do not make mischief in the earth, working corruption. (183)

You are but a human like ourselves, we think that you are one of the liars. (186)

He said: 'My Lord knows what you are doing. ' (188)
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ الظُّلَّةِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ ﴿۱۸۹﴾
But they belied him, then the punishment of the Day of Shadow (raining fire) seized them. Truly, it was the punishment of a dreadful day. (189)

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ ﴿۱۹۱﴾
Your Lord, He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful. (191)
وَإِنَّهُ لَتَنْزِيلُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿۱۹۲﴾

نَزَلَ بِهِ الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ ﴿۱۹۳﴾
The honest Spirit (Gabriel) brought it down (193)
عَلَى قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُنْذِرِينَ ﴿۱۹۴﴾
upon your heart (Prophet Muhammad), in order to be one of the warners, (194)
بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِيٍّ مُبِينٍ ﴿۱۹۵﴾
in a clear, Arabic tongue. (195)
وَإِنَّهُ لَفِي زُبُرِ الْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿۱۹۶﴾
Truly, it is in the Books of the ancients. (196)
أَوَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ آيَةً أَنْ يَعْلَمَهُ عُلَمَاءُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ﴿۱۹۷﴾
Was it not a sign for them known to the learned of the Children of Israel? (197)
وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَاهُ عَلَى بَعْضِ الْأَعْجَمِينَ ﴿۱۹۸﴾
If We had revealed it to a nonArab, (198)
فَقَرَأَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مَا كَانُوا بِهِ مُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿۱۹۹﴾
and he had recited it to them, they would not have believed. (199)
كَذَلِكَ سَلَكْنَاهُ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ ﴿۲۰۰﴾
Even so, We have caused it to enter into the hearts of harmdoers: (200)
لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ حَتَّى يَرَوُا الْعَذَابَ الْأَلِيمَ ﴿۲۰۱﴾
they shall not believe in it until they see the painful punishment (201)
فَيَأْتِيَهُمْ بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ﴿۲۰۲﴾
so that it will come upon them suddenly, while they are unaware, (202)
فَيَقُولُوا هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنْظَرُونَ ﴿۲۰۳﴾
and then they will say: 'Shall we be respited? ' (203)
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ﴿۲۰۴﴾
Do they wish to hasten Our punishment? (204)
أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ مَتَّعْنَاهُمْ سِنِينَ ﴿۲۰۵﴾
What do you see? If We gave them enjoyment for years, (205)
ثُمَّ جَاءَهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يُوعَدُونَ ﴿۲۰۶﴾
and then what they were promised comes to them, (206)
مَا أَغْنَى عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يُمَتَّعُونَ ﴿۲۰۷﴾
what avail will their past enjoyments be to them? (207)
وَمَا أَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنْذِرُونَ ﴿۲۰۸﴾
We never destroyed a village that did not have warners (208)
ذِكْرَى وَمَا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ ﴿۲۰۹﴾
for a reminder, and We never harmed. (209)
وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ الشَّيَاطِينُ ﴿۲۱۰﴾
It was not the satans who brought it down: (210)
وَمَا يَنْبَغِي لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ﴿۲۱۱﴾
it is not for them, nor are they able. (211)
إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ ﴿۲۱۲﴾
Truly, they are expelled from hearing. (212)
فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُعَذَّبِينَ ﴿۲۱۳﴾
So do not call upon another god with Allah, lest you should be one of those who are punished. (213)
وَأَنْذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الْأَقْرَبِينَ ﴿۲۱۴﴾
Warn your tribe and your near kinsmen. (214)
وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿۲۱۵﴾
and lower your wing to the believers who follow you. (215)
فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿۲۱۶﴾
If they disobey you, say: 'I am quit of what you do. ' (216)
وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى الْعَزِيزِ الرَّحِيمِ ﴿۲۱۷﴾
Put your trust in the Almighty, the Most Merciful, (217)
الَّذِي يَرَاكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ ﴿۲۱۸﴾
who sees you when you stand (218)
وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِي السَّاجِدِينَ ﴿۲۱۹﴾
and when you turn among those who prostrate themselves. (219)
إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ ﴿۲۲۰﴾
Surely, He is the Hearer, the Knower. (220)
هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَى مَنْ تَنَزَّلُ الشَّيَاطِينُ ﴿۲۲۱﴾
Shall I tell you on whom the satans descend? (221)
تَنَزَّلُ عَلَى كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ ﴿۲۲۲﴾
They descend on every guilty impostor. (222)
يُلْقُونَ السَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَاذِبُونَ ﴿۲۲۳﴾
They listen, but most of them are liars. (223)
وَالشُّعَرَاءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الْغَاوُونَ ﴿۲۲۴﴾
Poets are followed by the perverse. (224)
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِي كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ ﴿۲۲۵﴾
Have you not seen how they wander in every valley, (225)
وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ ﴿۲۲۶﴾
and they say what they do not do? (226)
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَانْتَصَرُوا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا وَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنْقَلَبٍ يَنْقَلِبُونَ ﴿۲۲۷﴾
Except those who believe, and do good works and remember Allah in abundance and became victorious after they had been wronged. The wrongdoers will surely know which turn they will be returning to (Hell). (227)
