26:2
These are the verses of the perspicuous Book
26:3
You may perhaps wear out your heart because they do not come to belief
26:4
We could send down from the heavens a sign to them if We pleased, before which their heads would remain bowed
26:5
Never does a new reminder come to them from Ar-Rahman but they turn away from it
26:6
Surely they have done with denying; soon will come to them the news of what they were laughing at
26:7
Do they not see the earth, how We grow all kinds of noble things upon it
26:8
Verily there are signs in this; yet many of them do not believe
26:9
Your Lord is surely mighty and merciful
26:10
When your Lord called upon Moses: "Go to the wicked people
26:11
The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear and take heed?"
26:12
: He said: "O Lord, I fear that they will deny me
26:13
My heart is constrained, my tongue falters, so delegate Aaron
26:14
And they have a charge (of murder) against me. So I fear that they will kill me."
26:15
(It was) said: "By no means. Go with My signs, both of you. I am verily with you and I hear
26:16
Go to the Pharaoh and tell him: 'We bring a message from the Lord of all the world
26:17
That you should send the children of Israel with us.
26:18
(The Pharaoh) said: "Did we not bring you up as a child? And you lived a number of years of your life with us
26:19
And you commited what you did, and you are ungrateful!"
26:20
(Moses) replied: "I did do that and I was in the wrong
26:21
So I ran away from you out of fear. But my Lord has given me wisdom, and made me an apostle
26:22
But the favour you oblige me with is that you have enslaved the children of Israel."
26:23
The Pharaoh asked: "And what is the Lord of all the worlds?"
26:24
(Moses) said: "The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, if you can believe."
26:25
(The Pharaoh) said to those around him: "Do you hear?"
26:26
(Moses continued): "Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers before you."
26:27
(The Pharaoh) said (to his nobles): "Your apostle who has been sent to you, is certainly mad."
26:28
(Moses) said: "The Lord of the East and the Lord of the West and all that lies between them, if you have sense."
26:29
(The Pharaoh) said: "If you took another god apart from me I will have you incarcerated."
26:30
(Moses) said: "Even though I have brought to you something convincing?"
26:31
(The Pharaoh) said: "Then bring it, if you speak the truth."
26:32
So (Moses) cast his staff, and lo, it turned into a living serpent
26:33
And he drew forth his hand, and lo, it looked white to the beholders
26:34
The Pharaoh said to the chiefs around him: "He is certainly a clever magician
26:35
He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic. So, what do you bid?"
26:36
They said: "Put him and his brother off awhile, and send summoners to the cities to gathe
26:37
And bring the ablest magicians to you."
26:38
So the magicians were assembled at a stated time and place on an appointed day
26:39
And the people were also asked to assemble
26:40
(They said): "We may haply follow the magicians if they are victorious."
26:41
When the magicians arrived, they said to the Pharaoh: "Is there a reward for us if we are victorious?" -
26:42
"Yes," he replied. "You 'will be among the honoured."
26:43
Moses said to them: "Cast what you have to cast."
26:44
So they cast their ropes and rods, and said: "By the glory of Pharaoh, we shall be victorious."
26:45
Then Moses threw down his staff, and lo, it swallowed up their conjurations
26:46
Then the magicians fell prostrating in adoration
26:47
And said: "We (affirm and) believe in the Lord of all the worlds
26:48
The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
26:49
Said (the Pharaoh): "You have come to believe in him before I gave you leave. He is surely your chief, who taught you magic. You will soon come to know: I will have your hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, and have every one of you crucified."
26:50
They said: "There will be no harm. We shall return to our Lord
26:51
We certainly hope our Lord will forgive our sins as we are the first to believe."
26:52
We said to Moses: "Travel by night with My creatures. You will surely be pursued."
26:53
Then the Pharaoh sent announcers to the cities
26:54
(Proclaiming): "Surely they are a small band (of fugitives)
26:55
They are always harassing us
26:56
But we are a fully accounted army."
26:57
So We made them leave the gardens and springs of water
26:58
And treasures and agreeable mansions
26:59
Thus it was; and We made the children of Israel possess them
26:60
But they pursued them at sunrise
26:61
When the two forces drew within seeing distance of each other, the people of Moses said: "We shall certainly be overtaken."
26:62
Moses replied: "By no means. My Lord is with me. He will show me the way."
26:63
We commanded Moses: "Smite the sea with your staff." And it parted, and every parting was like a lofty mountain
26:64
Then We brought the others to that place
26:65
We delivered Moses and every one with him
26:66
And We drowned the others
26:67
Verily there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe
26:68
Indeed your Lord is mighty and merciful
26:69
Relate the news of Abraham to them
26:70
When he asked his father and his people: "What do you worship?"
26:71
They replied: "We worship idols and are devoted to them."
26:72
(Abraham) asked: "Do they hear when you call them
26:73
Or do they benefit you, or do you harm?"
26:74
They said: "No. But we found our fathers doing so."
26:75
He said: "Have you considered what you have been worshipping
26:76
You and your fathers
26:77
Yet they are my enemies except the Lord of all the world
26:78
Who created me and showed me the way
26:79
Who gives me food and drink
26:80
And heals me when I am sick
26:81
Who will make me die, then give me life again
26:82
And who, I hope, will condone my faults on the Day of Judgement
26:83
O Lord, give me wisdom and admit me among the righteous
26:84
And uphold my name with posterity
26:85
And put me among the inheritors of Paradise
26:86
Forgive me and my father: He was surely among those who went astray
26:87
And do not disgrace me on the day when they are raised from the graves
26:88
The day when neither wealth nor children will be of any avai
26:89
But to him who comes to God with a tranquil heart."
26:90
Paradise will be brought near those who take heed for themselves and follow the straight path
26:91
And Hell made visible to those who had gone astray
26:92
They will be asked: "Where are those you worshippe
26:93
Other than God? Can they save you or even save themselves?"
26:94
They will then be thrown into Hell with those who had gone astra
26:95
Together with the hordes of Iblis
26:96
Disputing among themselves they will say
26:97
"By God, we were plainly in erro
26:98
In equating you with the Lord of all the worlds
26:99
No one but the sinners led us astray
26:100
Now we have none to intercede for us
26:102
If only we could return and be among the believers!"
26:103
Verily there is a sign in this, but many of them do not believe
26:104
Verily your Lord is mighty and merciful
26:105
The people of Noah accused the apostles of lies
26:106
When their brother Noah said to them: "Will you not take heed
26:107
I have been sent as a trusted messenger to you
26:108
So be fearful of God and listen to me
26:109
I ask no recompense of you for it. My reward is due from none but the Lord of all the worlds
26:110
So fear God and follow me."
26:111
They said: "Should we place our trust in you when only the condemned follow you?"
26:112
He said: "It is not for me to know what they were doing
26:113
It is for my Lord to bring them to book, if you can understand
26:114
I am certainly not one to drive away the believers
26:115
I am only a plain admonisher."
26:116
They said: "If you do not desist, O Noah, you will be stoned to death."
26:117
He prayed: "O Lord, verily my people accuse me of lies
26:118
So adjudge between me and them conclusively, and save me and the believers who are with me."
26:119
So We delivered him and those with him in the loaded ark
26:120
And drowned the rest of them
26:121
Verily there is a sign in this, yet many of them do not believe
26:122
But surely your Lord is mighty and merciful
26:123
The people of 'Ad accused the messengers of lies
26:124
When their brother Hud said to them: "Will you not take heed
26:125
I have been sent as a trusted messenger to you
26:126
So fear God and listen to me
26:127
I ask no recompense of you for it. My reward is due from none but the Lord of all the worlds
26:128
You construct monuments on every hill in vain
26:129
Erect palaces (thinking) that you will live for ever
26:130
And whenever you apply force become tyrannical
26:131
So be fearful of God and follow me
26:132
Fear Him who has bestowed on you what you know
26:133
Gave you increase of cattle and sons
26:134
And orchards and springs
26:135
I fear the punishment of a terrible day for you
26:136
They said: "It is the same to us if you warn us or do not warn
26:137
This is just a habit of antiquated people
26:138
We are not going to be damned."
26:139
Then they accused him of lies; so We annihilated them. Verily there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe
26:140
Yet surely your Lord is mighty and merciful
26:141
The Thamud accused the messengers of lies
26:142
When their brother Saleh said to them: "Will you not take heed?"
26:143
I have been sent as a trusted messenger to you
26:144
So fear God and follow me
26:145
I do not ask any recompense of you for this. My reward is due from none but the Lord of all the worlds
26:146
(Do you think) you will be left secure her
26:147
In these gardens and these springs
26:148
The fields of corn and date-palm trees with soft and tender spathes
26:149
And dwellings hewed out of mountains ingeniously
26:150
So be mindful of God and listen to me
26:151
Do not follow those who are extravagant
26:152
Who corrupt the land and do not reform it."
26:153
They said: "Surely you are deluded
26:154
You are nothing but a man like us. Bring us a token if you speak the truth."
26:155
(Saleh) said: "Here is a she-camel. She has a right of drinking water, and you have a right of drinking it on appointed turns
26:156
Do not treat her unkindly or the punishment of a grievous day will fall on you."
26:157
But they hamstrung her; and on the morrow were repentant
26:158
For they were seized by the torment. Verily there was a sign in this, but most of them did not believe
26:159
Yet verily your Lord is mighty and merciful
26:160
The people of Lot accused the messengers of lies
26:161
When their brother Lot said to them: "Will you not take heed
26:162
I have been sent as a trusted messenger to you
26:163
So fear God and listen to me
26:164
I ask no recompense of you for this. My reward is due from none but the Lord of all the worlds
26:165
Why do you go for males unlike all other creature
26:166
Leaving the consorts your Lord has made for you? But you are a people who exceed the bounds."
26:167
They said: "If you do not desist, O Lot, you will be expelled (from the city)."
26:168
(Lot) said: "I am disgusted with your actions,"
26:169
(And prayed:) "O Lord, save me and my family from what they do."
26:170
So We saved him and his whole famil
26:171
Except one old woman who remained behind
26:172
Then We destroyed the rest of them
26:173
And rained on them a shower (of Stones). How terrible was the rain (that fell) on those who had been warned
26:174
Verily in this was a sign, but most of them do not believe
26:175
Yet surely your Lord is mighty and powerful
26:176
The people of the Wood too called the messengers liars
26:177
When Shu'aib said to them: "Will you not take heed
26:178
I have been sent as a trusted messenger to you
26:179
So fear God and follow me
26:180
I ask no recompense of you for this. My reward is due from none but the Lord of all the worlds
26:181
Give full measure and do not cheat
26:182
Weigh on an even balance
26:183
And do not withhold from people what belongs to them, and do not corrupt the land
26:184
And fear Him who created you and all the earlier people."
26:185
They said: "Surely you are deluded
26:186
You are nothing but a man like us, and we think you are a liar
26:187
But in case you are speaking the truth, then make a segment of the sky to fall upon us."
26:188
(Shu'aib) said: "My Lord knows well what you are doing."
26:189
But they denied him, and We seized them with the torment of the Day of Shadowing (when the cloud had rained down fire). It was indeed the torment of a terrible day
26:190
Verily in this was a sign, but most of them do not believe
26:191
Yet verily your Lord is mighty and merciful
26:192
And this (Qur'an) is a revelation from the Lord of all the worlds
26:193
Which the trusted spirit descended wit
26:194
To (communicate) to your heart that you may be a warne
26:196
This is (indicated) in the Books of earlier people
26:197
Was it not a proof for them that the learned men of Israel knew about this
26:198
Had We revealed it to a man of obscure tongu
26:199
And he had recited it to them, and they had not believed (it would have been different)
26:200
Thus do We cause (unbelief) to enter the hearts of sinners
26:201
They will not believe it until they behold the painful punishment
26:202
It will come upon them unawares, and they will not comprehend it
26:203
Then will they say: "Can we be given respite?"
26:204
Do they wish Us then to hasten the punishment
26:205
Just think: If We let them enjoy (the good things of life) for a few years more
26:206
And then what they were promised comes upon them
26:207
Of what avail shall their enjoyment be to them
26:208
Never have We destroyed a habitation till We had sent admonishers to the
26:209
To warn. For We are never unjust
26:210
The devils did not bring it down
26:211
They are not worthy of it, nor have they power
26:212
They have been precluded from hearing it
26:213
So call on no other god but God, lest you are condemned to torment
26:214
And warn your near relations
26:215
And take those believers under your wing who follow you
26:216
If they do not obey you, tell them: "I am not responsible for what you do."
26:217
Have trust in the Mighty, the Merciful
26:218
Who watches you when you get up
26:219
And your movements among those who bow in homage to God
26:220
He is all-hearing and all-knowing
26:221
Should I tell you on whom the devils descend
26:222
They come down to every mendacious sinner
26:223
Who listens to you (for spreading rumours); but most of them are liars
26:224
As for the poets, only those who go astray follow them
26:225
Have you not seen that they wander distract in every valley
26:226
And they say what they do not do
26:227
Except those who believe and do the right, and remember God a great deal, who retaliate only when they have been wronged. Yet the oppressors will now come to know through what reversals they will be overthrown
