Surah Ash-Shu'ara

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1. طسٓمٓ

   Ta, Seen, Meem.

   26:1
2. تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ

   These are the verses of the clear Book.

   26:2
3. لَعَلَّكَ بَـٰخِعࣱ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ

   Perhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.

   26:3
4. إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةࣰ فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَـٰقُهُمْ لَهَا خَـٰضِعِينَ

   If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.

   26:4
5. وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرࣲ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ

   And no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.

   26:5
6. فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنۢبَـٰٓؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

   For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule.

   26:6
7. أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجࣲ كَرِيمٍ

   Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind?

   26:7
8. إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةࣰ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

   Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

   26:8
9. وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

   And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

   26:9
10. وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئْتِ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

    And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people -

    26:10
11. قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ

    The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allah?"

    26:11
12. قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ

    He said, "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me

    26:12
13. وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِى وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِى فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَـٰرُونَ

    And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron.

    26:13
14. وَلَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنۢبࣱ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ

    And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me."

    26:14
15. قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ فَٱذْهَبَا بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ ۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ

    [Allah] said, "No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening.

    26:15
16. فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

    Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds,

    26:16
17. أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

    [Commanded to say], "Send with us the Children of Israel."'"

    26:17
18. قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدࣰا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ

    [Pharaoh] said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life?

    26:18
19. وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِى فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ

    And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful."

    26:19
20. قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَآ إِذࣰا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

    [Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray.

    26:20
21. فَفَرَرْتُ مِنكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِى رَبِّى حُكْمࣰا وَجَعَلَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

    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.

    26:21
22. وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةࣱ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

    And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?"

    26:22
23. قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

    Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds?"

    26:23
24. قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ

    [Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced."

    26:24
25. قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ

    [Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear?"

    26:25
26. قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

    [Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers."

    26:26
27. قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونࣱ

    [Pharaoh] said, "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad."

    26:27
28. قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

    [Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason."

    26:28
29. قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذْتَ إِلَـٰهًا غَيْرِى لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَسْجُونِينَ

    [Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned."

    26:29
30. قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَىْءࣲ مُّبِينࣲ

    [Moses] said, "Even if I brought you proof manifest?"

    26:30
31. قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ

    [Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful."

    26:31
32. فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانࣱ مُّبِينࣱ

    So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest.

    26:32
33. وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّـٰظِرِينَ

    And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers.

    26:33
34. قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَسَـٰحِرٌ عَلِيمࣱ

    [Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician.

    26:34
35. يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ

    He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise?"

    26:35
36. قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبْعَثْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَـٰشِرِينَ

    They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers

    26:36
37. يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمࣲ

    Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician."

    26:37
38. فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَـٰتِ يَوْمࣲ مَّعْلُومࣲ

    So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day.

    26:38
39. وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ

    And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate

    26:39
40. لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ

    That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"

    26:40
41. فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ

    And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?"

    26:41
42. قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذࣰا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ

    He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]."

    26:42
43. قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ

    Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw."

    26:43
44. فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ

    So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant."

    26:44
45. فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ

    Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified.

    26:45
46. فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَـٰجِدِينَ

    So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah].

    26:46
47. قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

    They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,

    26:47
48. رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ

    The Lord of Moses and Aaron."

    26:48
49. قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَـٰفࣲ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

    [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."

    26:49
50. قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ

    They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return.

    26:50
51. إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَـٰيَـٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

    Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers."

    26:51
52. ۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

    And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued."

    26:52
53. فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَـٰشِرِينَ

    Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers

    26:53
54. إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةࣱ قَلِيلُونَ

    [And said], "Indeed, those are but a small band,

    26:54
55. وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ

    And indeed, they are enraging us,

    26:55
56. وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَـٰذِرُونَ

    And indeed, we are a cautious society... "

    26:56
57. فَأَخْرَجْنَـٰهُم مِّن جَنَّـٰتࣲ وَعُيُونࣲ

    So We removed them from gardens and springs

    26:57
58. وَكُنُوزࣲ وَمَقَامࣲ كَرِيمࣲ

    And treasures and honorable station -

    26:58
59. كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَـٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

    Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel.

    26:59
60. فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ

    So they pursued them at sunrise.

    26:60
61. فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَـٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ

    And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken!"

    26:61
62. قَالَ كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ

    [Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me."

    26:62
63. فَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْبَحْرَ ۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقࣲ كَٱلطَّوْدِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

    Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain.

    26:63
64. وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ

    And We advanced thereto the pursuers.

    26:64
65. وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ

    And We saved Moses and those with him, all together.

    26:65
66. ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ

    Then We drowned the others.

    26:66
67. إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةࣰ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

    Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

    26:67
68. وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

    And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

    26:68
69. وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ

    And recite to them the news of Abraham,

    26:69
70. إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ

    When he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?"

    26:70
71. قَالُوا۟ نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامࣰا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَـٰكِفِينَ

    They said, "We worship idols and remain to them devoted."

    26:71
72. قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ

    He said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate?

    26:72
73. أَوْ يَنفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ

    Or do they benefit you, or do they harm?"

    26:73
74. قَالُوا۟ بَلْ وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ

    They said, "But we found our fathers doing thus."

    26:74
75. قَالَ أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ

    He said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping,

    26:75
76. أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلْأَقْدَمُونَ

    You and your ancient forefathers?

    26:76
77. فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوࣱّ لِّىٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

    Indeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds,

    26:77
78. ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَنِى فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ

    Who created me, and He [it is who] guides me.

    26:78
79. وَٱلَّذِى هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِى وَيَسْقِينِ

    And it is He who feeds me and gives me drink.

    26:79
80. وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ

    And when I am ill, it is He who cures me

    26:80
81. وَٱلَّذِى يُمِيتُنِى ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ

    And who will cause me to die and then bring me to life

    26:81
82. وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لِى خَطِيٓـَٔتِى يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ

    And who I aspire that He will forgive me my sin on the Day of Recompense."

    26:82
83. رَبِّ هَبْ لِى حُكْمࣰا وَأَلْحِقْنِى بِٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ

    [And he said], "My Lord, grant me authority and join me with the righteous.

    26:83
84. وَٱجْعَل لِّى لِسَانَ صِدْقࣲ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

    And grant me a reputation of honor among later generations.

    26:84
85. وَٱجْعَلْنِى مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

    And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Pleasure.

    26:85
86. وَٱغْفِرْ لِأَبِىٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

    And forgive my father. Indeed, he has been of those astray.

    26:86
87. وَلَا تُخْزِنِى يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ

    And do not disgrace me on the Day they are [all] resurrected -

    26:87
88. يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالࣱ وَلَا بَنُونَ

    The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children

    26:88
89. إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلْبࣲ سَلِيمࣲ

    But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart."

    26:89
90. وَأُزْلِفَتِ ٱلْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

    And Paradise will be brought near [that Day] to the righteous.

    26:90
91. وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَ

    And Hellfire will be brought forth for the deviators,

    26:91
92. وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ

    And it will be said to them, "Where are those you used to worship

    26:92
93. مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلْ يَنصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنتَصِرُونَ

    Other than Allah? Can they help you or help themselves?"

    26:93
94. فَكُبْكِبُوا۟ فِيهَا هُمْ وَٱلْغَاوُۥنَ

    So they will be overturned into Hellfire, they and the deviators

    26:94
95. وَجُنُودُ إِبْلِيسَ أَجْمَعُونَ

    And the soldiers of Iblees, all together.

    26:95
96. قَالُوا۟ وَهُمْ فِيهَا يَخْتَصِمُونَ

    They will say while they dispute therein,

    26:96
97. تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِى ضَلَـٰلࣲ مُّبِينٍ

    "By Allah, we were indeed in manifest error

    26:97
98. إِذْ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

    When we equated you with the Lord of the worlds.

    26:98
99. وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ

    And no one misguided us except the criminals.

    26:99
100. فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَـٰفِعِينَ

     So now we have no intercessors

     26:100
101. وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمࣲ

     And not a devoted friend.

     26:101
102. فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةࣰ فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

     Then if we only had a return [to the world] and could be of the believers... "

     26:102
103. إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةࣰ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

     Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

     26:103
104. وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

     When their brother Noah said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

     26:106
107. إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينࣱ

     Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

     26:107
108. فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

     So fear Allah and obey me.

     26:108
109. وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

     And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

     26:109
110. فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

     So fear Allah and obey me."

     26:110
111. ۞ قَالُوٓا۟ أَنُؤْمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلْأَرْذَلُونَ

     They said, "Should we believe you while you are followed by the lowest [class of people]?"

     26:111
112. قَالَ وَمَا عِلْمِى بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

     He said, "And what is my knowledge of what they used to do?

     26:112
113. إِنْ حِسَابُهُمْ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّى ۖ لَوْ تَشْعُرُونَ

     Their account is only upon my Lord, if you [could] perceive.

     26:113
114. وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

     And I am not one to drive away the believers.

     26:114
115. إِنْ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرࣱ مُّبِينࣱ

     I am only a clear warner."

     26:115
116. قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَـٰنُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمَرْجُومِينَ

     They said, "If you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be of those who are stoned."

     26:116
117. قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِى كَذَّبُونِ

     He said, "My Lord, indeed my people have denied me.

     26:117
118. فَٱفْتَحْ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَتْحࣰا وَنَجِّنِى وَمَن مَّعِىَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

     Then judge between me and them with decisive judgement and save me and those with me of the believers."

     26:118
119. فَأَنجَيْنَـٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ

     So We saved him and those with him in the laden ship.

     26:119
120. ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا بَعْدُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ

     Then We drowned thereafter the remaining ones.

     26:120
121. إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةࣰ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

     Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

     26:121
122. وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

     And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

     26:127
128. أَتَبْنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِيعٍ ءَايَةࣰ تَعْبَثُونَ

     Do you construct on every elevation a sign, amusing yourselves,

     26:128
129. وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَخْلُدُونَ

     And take for yourselves palaces and fortresses that you might abide eternally?

     26:129
130. وَإِذَا بَطَشْتُم بَطَشْتُمْ جَبَّارِينَ

     And when you strike, you strike as tyrants.

     26:130
131. فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

     So fear Allah and obey me.

     26:131
132. وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَمَدَّكُم بِمَا تَعْلَمُونَ

     And fear He who provided you with that which you know,

     26:132
133. أَمَدَّكُم بِأَنْعَـٰمࣲ وَبَنِينَ

     Provided you with grazing livestock and children

     26:133
134. وَجَنَّـٰتࣲ وَعُيُونٍ

     And gardens and springs.

     26:134
135. إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمࣲ

     Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day."

     26:135
136. قَالُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْنَآ أَوَعَظْتَ أَمْ لَمْ تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْوَٰعِظِينَ

     They said, "It is all the same to us whether you advise or are not of the advisors.

     26:136
137. إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا خُلُقُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

     This is not but the custom of the former peoples,

     26:137
138. وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ

     And we are not to be punished."

     26:138
139. فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهْلَكْنَـٰهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةࣰ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

     And they denied him, so We destroyed them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

     26:139
140. وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

     26:147
148. وَزُرُوعࣲ وَنَخْلࣲ طَلْعُهَا هَضِيمࣱ

     And fields of crops and palm trees with softened fruit?

     26:151
152. ٱلَّذِينَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ

     Who cause corruption in the land and do not amend."

     26:152
153. قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ

     They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.

     26:153

     You are but a man like ourselves, so bring a sign, if you should be of the truthful."

     26:154
155. قَالَ هَـٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةࣱ لَّهَا شِرْبࣱ وَلَكُمْ شِرْبُ يَوْمࣲ مَّعْلُومࣲ

     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.

     26:155
156. وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءࣲ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمࣲ

     And do not touch her with harm, lest you be seized by the punishment of a terrible day."

     26:156
157. فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ نَـٰدِمِينَ

     But they hamstrung her and so became regretful.

     26:157
158. فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةࣰ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

     And the punishment seized them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

     26:158
159. وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

     And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

     26:161
162. إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينࣱ

     26:162
163. فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

     So fear Allah and obey me.

     26:163
164. وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

     And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

165. أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

     Do you approach males among the worlds

     26:165
166. وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَٰجِكُم ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ عَادُونَ

     And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing."

     26:166
167. قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَـٰلُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْرَجِينَ

     They said, "If you do not desist, O Lot, you will surely be of those evicted."

     26:167
168. قَالَ إِنِّى لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلْقَالِينَ

     He said, "Indeed, I am, toward your deed, of those who detest [it].

     26:168
169. رَبِّ نَجِّنِى وَأَهْلِى مِمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ

     My Lord, save me and my family from [the consequence of] what they do."

     26:169
170. فَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ

     So We saved him and his family, all,

     26:170
171. إِلَّا عَجُوزࣰا فِى ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ

     Except an old woman among those who remained behind.

     26:171

     And We rained upon them a rain [of stones], and evil was the rain of those who were warned.

     26:173
174. إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةࣰ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

     Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

     26:174
175. وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

     And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

     26:176
177. إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ شُعَيْبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

     When Shu'ayb said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

     26:177
178. إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينࣱ

     Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

     26:178
179. فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

     So fear Allah and obey me.

     26:179
180. وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

     And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

     26:180
181. ۞ أَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْسِرِينَ

     Give full measure and do not be of those who cause loss.

     26:181
182. وَزِنُوا۟ بِٱلْقِسْطَاسِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِ

     And weigh with an even balance.

     26:182
183. وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا۟ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ

     And do not deprive people of their due and do not commit abuse on earth, spreading corruption.

     26:183
184. وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ وَٱلْجِبِلَّةَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

     And fear He who created you and the former creation."

     26:184
185. قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ

     They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.

     26:185
186. وَمَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرࣱ مِّثْلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ

     You are but a man like ourselves, and indeed, we think you are among the liars.

     26:186
187. فَأَسْقِطْ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفࣰا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ

     So cause to fall upon us fragments of the sky, if you should be of the truthful."

     26:187
188. قَالَ رَبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

     He said, "My Lord is most knowing of what you do."

     26:188
189. فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

     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.

     26:189
190. إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةࣰ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

     Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

     26:190
191. وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

     And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

     26:191
192. وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

     And indeed, the Qur'an is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds.

     26:192
193. نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْأَمِينُ

     The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down

     26:193
194. عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ

     Upon your heart, [O Muhammad] - that you may be of the warners -

     26:194
195. بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِىࣲّ مُّبِينࣲ

     In a clear Arabic language.

     26:195
196. وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِى زُبُرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

     And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples.

     26:196
197. أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ ءَايَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَـٰٓؤُا۟ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

     And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel?

     26:197
198. وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَـٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ ٱلْأَعْجَمِينَ

     And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners

     26:198
199. فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنِينَ

     And he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it.

     26:199
200. كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَـٰهُ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

     Thus have We inserted disbelief into the hearts of the criminals.

     26:200
201. لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ

     They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.

     26:201
202. فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةࣰ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

     And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not.

     26:202
203. فَيَقُولُوا۟ هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ

     And they will say, "May we be reprieved?"

     26:203
204. أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

     So for Our punishment are they impatient?

     26:204
205. أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ سِنِينَ

     Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years

     26:205
206. ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ

     And then there came to them that which they were promised?

     26:206
207. مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُمَتَّعُونَ

     They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.

     26:207
208. وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ

     And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners

     26:208
209. ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِينَ

     As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.

     26:209
210. وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينُ

     And the devils have not brought the revelation down.

     26:210
211. وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ

     It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able.

     26:211
212. إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ

     Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed.

     26:212
213. فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُعَذَّبِينَ

     So do not invoke with Allah another deity and [thus] be among the punished.

     And warn, [O Muhammad], your closest kindred.

     26:214
215. وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

     And lower your wing to those who follow you of the believers.

     26:215
216. فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءࣱ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ

     And if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing."

     26:216
217. وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

     And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,

     26:217
218. ٱلَّذِى يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ

     Who sees you when you arise

     26:218
219. وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ

     And your movement among those who prostrate.

     26:219
220. إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

     Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

     26:220
221. هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينُ

     Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?

     26:221
222. تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمࣲ

     They descend upon every sinful liar.

     26:222
223. يُلْقُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَـٰذِبُونَ

     They pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars.

     26:223
224. وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلْغَاوُۥنَ

     And the poets - [only] the deviators follow them;

     26:224
225. أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى كُلِّ وَادࣲ يَهِيمُونَ

     Do you not see that in every valley they roam

     26:225
226. وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ

     And that they say what they do not do? -

     26:226
227. إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرࣰا وَٱنتَصَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَىَّ مُنقَلَبࣲ يَنقَلِبُونَ

     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.

     26:227
