IslamAwakened.com Qur'an Tafsir of Surah ash-Shu`ara` - The Poets as rendered by Ali Bakhtiari Nejad
26:1
T. S. M. (Ta. Sin. Mim.
26:2
These are verses of the clear (and clarifying) book
26:3
You may kill yourself with grief because they do not become believers
26:4
If We want, We send down a sign to them from the sky so their necks bend in humility for it
26:5
No new reminder comes to them from the beneficent, unless they turn away from it
26:6
They have denied, so the news of what they used to ridicule it is going to come to them
26:7
Or did they not look at the earth, that how many of all kind of splendid plants did We grow in it
26:8
Indeed there is a sign in that, and most of them are not believers
26:9
And indeed your Master, He is the powerful and the merciful
26:10
And (remember) when your Master called Moses: go to the wrongdoing people
26:11
people of Pharaoh, (and ask) would they not be cautious (of God)
26:12
He said: my Master, I am afraid that they deny me
26:13
and my chest becomes tight and my tongue stutters, so send (the message) to Aaron
26:14
And they have a charge against me, so I am afraid that they kill me
26:15
He (God) said: no way, you two go with Our signs, We are with you, listening
26:16
So you two go to Pharaoh and say: indeed we are messengers of the Master of Human kind
26:17
send the children of Israel with us
26:18
He (Pharaoh) said: did we not bring you up among us as a child, and you stayed among us for years of your life
26:19
And you did your work that you did (and committed murder), and you are of the ungrateful ones
26:20
He (Moses) said: I did it while I was of the lost ones (from the right path)
26:21
then I ran away from you because I was afraid of you, then my Master gave me wisdom and made me of the messengers
26:22
And that is a favor that you tell me off about it, that you enslaved children of Israel (and you did not enslave or kill me)
26:23
Pharaoh said: and what is Master of humankind
26:24
He (Moses) said: Master of the skies and the earth and whatever between them, if you are sure
26:25
He said to those around him: do you not hear (what he says)
26:26
He (Moses) said: your Master and Master of your forefathers
26:27
He said (to the others): your messenger, the one who was sent to you is certainly crazy
26:28
He (Moses) said: Master of the east and the west and whatever between them, if you understand
26:29
He said: if you take any god other than me, I shall make you of the prisoners
26:30
He (Moses) said: even if I bring you something obvious
26:31
He said: then bring it, if you are of the truthful ones
26:32
So he threw his cane and it immediately was a visible serpent
26:33
And he took out his hand, and it was white to the viewers
26:34
He said to the assembly around him: indeed this is a knowledgeable (and skillful) magician
26:35
He wants to drive you out of your land with his magic, so what do you instruct
26:36
They said: put him and his brother off (for a while) and send gatherers to the citie
26:37
to bring you every skillful magician
26:38
So the magicians were collected for an appointment on a known day.
26:39
And people were told: would you come together
26:40
We may follow the magicians if they are the winners
26:41
So when the magicians came, they said to Pharaoh: is there a reward for us if we are the winners
26:42
He said: yes, and then you will certainly be among the close ones
26:43
Moses said to them: throw what you are throwing
26:44
So they threw their ropes and their canes and they said: by Pharaoh’s power, we shall be the winners
26:45
Then Moses threw his cane, and it immediately swallowed whatever they faked
26:46
So the magicians fell, prostrating (and showing humbleness)
26:47
They said: we believed in the Master of Human kind
26:48
Master of Moses and Aaron
26:49
He (Pharaoh) said: did you believe in him before I give you permission? He is certainly your superior, the one who taught you the magic, and you will certainly know that I shall cut off your hands and feet on opposite side, and I shall crucify you all
26:50
They said: no problem, indeed we are returners to our Master
26:51
Indeed we hope that our Master forgives us our faults because we are the first of the believers
26:52
And We revealed to Moses: travel with My servants by night, indeed you will be followed
26:53
So Pharaoh sent gatherers to the cities
26:54
(saying) indeed these are a small group
26:55
and they certainly angered u
26:56
and we are all certainly alert (and ready)
26:57
So We drove them out of gardens and springs
26:58
and treasures and honorable position
26:59
That is how it was, and We left them as inheritance for children of Israel.
26:60
So they (Pharaoh’s army) followed them at sunrise
26:61
So when the two crowds saw each other, companions of Moses said: indeed we will be caught
26:62
He (Moses) said: no way, indeed my Master is with me, He is going to guide me
26:63
And We revealed to Moses to strike the sea with your cane. So it opened up, and each side became like a great mountain
26:64
And We brought the others (Pharaoh’s army) near there
26:65
And We saved Moses and those with him altogether
26:66
Then We drowned the others
26:67
Indeed there is a sign in that, and most of them are not believers
26:68
And indeed your Master is the powerful and the merciful
26:69
And read Abraham’s story to them
26:70
When he said to his father and his people: what do you serve
26:71
They said: we serve idols, and we continue to be devoted to them
26:72
He said: do they hear you when you call on them
26:73
Or do they benefit you or harm you
26:74
They said: no, but we found our fathers doing like this
26:75
He said: did you think what you were serving
26:76
you and your forefathers
26:77
Indeed they are my enemies, except the Master of Human kind
26:78
the One who created me, and He guides me
26:79
and the One who gives me food and gives me drink
26:80
and when I get sick, then He heals me
26:81
and the One who make me die, then He makes me alive
26:82
and the One who, I hope that He forgives my mistakes on the judgment day
26:83
My Master, give me wisdom and join me with the righteous
26:84
and give me a good name on the tongue of the later ones (and future generations)
26:85
and make me among inheritors of garden of the delight
26:86
and forgive my father, indeed he is of the lost ones
26:87
and do not humiliate me on a day that they are raised
26:88
a day that wealth and children have no benefit
26:89
except anyone who brings a sound (and pure) heart to God
26:90
And the garden is brought near for those who control themselves
26:91
And the hellfire is made apparent to the misled ones.
26:92
And it is said to them: where are what you were servin
26:93
other than God? Can they help you or help themselves
26:94
So they and the misled ones are thrown headfirst into it (hellfire)
26:95
and troops of Iblis (Satan), altogether
26:96
And while they dispute about it, they say
26:97
by God that we were in an obvious error
26:98
when we made you equal to the Master of Human kind.
26:99
And no one misguided us except the guilty ones
26:100
So, we do not have any mediator
26:101
and no true friend
26:102
And if there was a return for us (to live again), then we would become of the believers
26:103
Indeed there is a sign in that, and most of them are not believers
26:104
And indeed your Master is the powerful and the merciful
26:105
People of Noah denied the messengers
26:106
When their brother Noah said to them: would you not be cautious (of God)
26:107
I am an honest messenger for you
26:108
so be cautious of God and obey me
26:109
And I do not ask you for any wage, for my wage is only responsibility of the Master of Human kind
26:110
so be cautious of God and obey me
26:111
They said: should we believe in you while the meanest (and the worst) follow you
26:112
He said: I have no knowledge of what they used to do
26:113
Their account is only upon my Master, if you realize
26:114
And I do not drive away the believers
26:115
I am only a clear warner
26:116
They said: Noah, if you do not stop, you shall become among the stoned ones
26:117
He said: my Master, indeed my people denied me
26:118
so judge decisively (or open an opening) between me and them, and save me and anyone who is with me of the believers
26:119
So We saved him and anyone with him in the loaded Ark
26:120
Then afterward We drowned the rest
26:121
Indeed there is a sign in that, and most of them are not believers
26:122
And your Master is certainly powerful and merciful
26:123
(People of) Aad denied the messengers
26:124
when their brother Hud said to them: would you not be cautious (of God)
26:125
I am an honest messenger for you
26:126
so be cautious of God and obey me
26:127
And I do not ask you for any wage, for my wage is only responsibility of the Master of Human kind
26:128
Do you build a sign on every high place to fool around
26:129
And you take up castles that you may live forever
26:130
And when you attack, you attack as tyrants
26:131
So be cautious of God and obey me
26:132
And be cautious of the One who helped you with what you know
26:133
He helped you with livestock and childre
26:134
and gardens and springs
26:135
Indeed I am afraid of the punishment of a great day upon you
26:136
They said: it is the same to us whether you advise or are not of the advisors
26:137
this is only character of the earlier ones
26:138
and we will not be punished
26:139
So they denied him, then We destroyed them. Indeed there is a sign in that, and most of them are not believers
26:140
And indeed your Master is the powerful and the merciful
26:141
(People of) Thamud denied the messengers
26:142
when their brother Salih said to them: would you not be cautious (of God)
26:143
I am an honest messenger for you
26:144
so be cautious of God and obey me
26:145
And I do not ask you for any wage, for my wage is only responsibility of the Master of Human kind
26:146
Would you be left safe (and secure) in what is here
26:147
In gardens and spring
26:148
and plantations and a palm tree with its ripe (and delicious) fruit cluste
26:149
and houses you skillfully carve out of the mountains
26:150
So be cautious of God and obey me
26:151
and do not obey order of the excessive ones
26:152
those who commit corruption on the earth and do not reform
26:153
They said: you are only of the bewitched ones
26:154
you are only a human being like us, so bring a miracle if you are of the truthful ones
26:155
He said: this is a (female) camel, she has (a portion of) drink and you have your (portion of) drink, on a known day
26:156
And do not touch her with harm otherwise the punishment of a great day takes you
26:157
So they killed her, then they became regretful
26:158
Then the punishment took them. Indeed there is a sign in that, and most of them are not believers
26:159
And indeed your Master is the powerful and the merciful
26:160
People of Lot denied the messengers
26:161
when their brother Lot said to them: would you not be cautious (of God)
26:162
I am an honest messenger for you
26:163
so be cautious of God and obey me
26:164
And I do not ask you for any wage, for my wage is only responsibility of the Master of Human kind
26:165
Do you approach the males among humankind
26:166
And you leave what your Master created for you as your wives? No, but you are people who exceed the limits
26:167
They said: Lot, if you do not stop, you shall be of those driven out
26:168
He said: indeed I am of those who despise your action
26:169
My Master, save me and my family from what they do
26:170
So We saved him and his family altogether
26:171
except an old woman (his wife who was) among those staying behind.
26:172
Then We destroyed the others
26:173
And We poured down a rain on them, and it was an awful rain on those who were warned
26:174
Indeed there is a sign in that, and most of them are not believers
26:175
And indeed your Master is the powerful and the merciful
26:176
The inhabitants of the woods (people of Midian) denied the messengers
26:177
when Shu'aib said to them: would you not be cautious (of God)
26:178
I am an honest messenger for you
26:179
so be cautious of God and obey me
26:180
And I do not ask you for any wage, for my wage is only responsibility of the Master of Human kind
26:181
Give the full measure, and do not be of those who give less (than due)
26:182
and weigh with accurate scale
26:183
and do not shortchange people their things and do not do mischief on the earth as corruptors
26:184
And be cautious of the One who created you and the earlier generations
26:185
They said: indeed you are of the bewitched ones
26:186
you are only a human being like us, and we think you are among the liars
26:187
So, make pieces of the sky fall on us, if you are of the truthful ones
26:188
He said: my Master knows best what you do
26:189
So they denied him, then the punishment of day of the covering clouds (of fire) took them. Indeed it was the punishment of a great day
26:190
Indeed there is a sign in that, and most of them are not believers
26:191
And indeed your Master is the powerful and the merciful
26:192
And it (Quran) is certainly a sending down by the Master of Human kind
26:193
The honest spirit (Gabriel) came down with i
26:194
to your heart so that you be of the warners
26:195
in clear Arabic language
26:196
And indeed it is in the scriptures of the earlier ones
26:197
Is it not a sign for them that the knowledgeable children of Israel know it
26:198
And if We had sent it down to someone of the non-Arabs
26:199
and he had read it to them, they would not have been believers in it.
26:200
That is how We insert/pass it through the hearts of guilty ones
26:201
they would not believe in it until they see the painful punishment
26:202
And it comes to them suddenly while they do not realize
26:203
Then they say: may we be given a delay
26:204
Do they still want to rush Our punishment
26:205
So did you think that if We make them enjoy for some years
26:206
then what they were promised (the punishment) comes to them
26:207
what they were made to enjoy would not be of any use to them
26:208
We did not destroy any town (or population) unless there were warners for i
26:209
to remind, and We were not unjust
26:210
And the devils did not come down with it (Quran)
26:211
It is not appropriate for them, and they can not
26:212
Indeed they are blocked from the hearing (of it)
26:213
So do not call on another god with God, otherwise you become of the punished ones
26:214
And warn your closest family (and tribe members)
26:215
And lower your wing (and be kind) for anyone who follows you among the believers
26:216
And If they disobey you, then say: I am clear of what you do
26:217
And put your trust in the powerful, the merciful
26:218
The One who sees you when you stand (for prayer
26:219
and your movement among those who prostrate (and show humbleness)
26:220
Indeed He hears all and knows all
26:221
Should I inform you of whom the devils come down on
26:222
They come down on every lying sinner
26:223
who give ear (and listen to the devils), and most of them are liars
26:224
And the poets, the misled ones (those who lost the right way) follow them
26:225
Did you not see that they drift into every valley (and subject)
26:226
and they say what they do not do
26:227
Except those (poets) who believe and do good works and often remember God and help/defend themselves after they are wronged. And those who do wrong are going to know to what return they will return
