26:2
Those are the signs of the clear Book.
26:3
Perhaps you will kill yourself that they will not be believers.
26:4
If We will, We send down to them a sign from the heaven, so their necks continue bowing to it.
26:5
And no new reminder comes to them from the Merciful except they used to turn away from it.
26:6
So certainly, they have denied, so soon the information of that which they used to mock at will come to them.
26:7
And did they not look at the earth, how many of every noble kind We made to grow in it?
26:8
Indeed, in that surely is a sign, and most of them are not believers.
26:9
And indeed, your Lord, surely, He is the Mighty, the Compassionate.
26:10
And when your Lord called Moses saying, 'Come to the wrongdoing people,
26:11
The people of Pharaoh, will they not fear?'
26:12
He said, 'My Lord! Indeed I, I fear that they will call me a liar;
26:13
And my breast straitens, and my tongue does not utter fluently; so send to Aaron,
26:14
And they have a sin against me, so I fear that they will kill me.'
26:15
He said, 'Not so, so go both of you with Our signs, Indeed, We are with you listening.
26:16
So come both of you to Pharaoh, then say, "Indeed, we are the messenger of the Lord of the worlds,
26:17
Saying, “”Send with us the children of Israel.”"'
26:18
He said, 'Did we not bring you up among us as a child? And you tarried among us years of your life;
26:19
And you did your deed, the one which you did, and you are among the ungrateful.'
26:20
He said, 'I did it then, and I was of those who err.
26:21
Then I fled from you when I feared you, then my Lord gave me judgment, and made me among the messengers;
26:22
And that is a favour which you bestow on me that you enslaved the children of Israel.'
26:23
Pharaoh said, 'And what is the Lord of the worlds?'
26:24
He said, 'The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between both of them, if you are sure.'
26:25
He said to those who were around him, 'Do you not hear?'
26:26
He said, 'Your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers, the former people.'
26:27
He said, 'Indeed, your messenger, the one who has been sent to you is surely mad.'
26:28
He said, 'Lord of the east and the west and what is between both of them, if you are intelligent.'
26:29
He said, 'Surely if you take a god other than me, I will surely, definitely make you among those who are imprisoned.'
26:30
He said, 'Even if I come to you with something clear?'
26:31
He said, 'Then come with it, if you are among the truthful.'
26:32
Then he threw down his staff, then behold, it was a clear snake.
26:33
And he drew out his hand, then behold, it was white to the beholders.
26:34
He said to the chiefs around him, 'Indeed, this is surely a knowing magician,
26:35
He desires to drive you out of your land with his magic, so what do you command?'
26:36
They said, 'Postpone him and his brother, and send gatherers in the cities.
26:37
They will come to you with every knowing magician.'
26:38
So the magicians were assembled to an appointed time, a known day,
26:39
And it was said to the people, 'Will you assemble?
26:40
Perhaps we may follow the magicians if they, they are the overcomers.’
26:41
Then when the magicians came, they said to Pharaoh, 'Is there indeed, surely a payment for us if we, we are the overcomers?'
26:42
He said, 'Yes, and indeed, you then surely will be among those who are brought near.'
26:43
Moses said to them, 'Throw down what you will throw.'
26:44
Then they threw down their ropes and their staves and they said, 'By the might of Pharaoh, indeed we, surely, we are the overcomers.'
26:45
Then Moses threw down his staff, then behold, it swallows what they falsify.
26:46
Then the magicians were thrown down prostrating.
26:47
They said, 'We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,
26:48
The Lord of Moses and Aaron.'
26:49
He said, 'You believed him before that I give permission to you. Indeed, he is surely your great one, the one who taught you the magic, so surely soon you will know. I will surely, definitely cut off your hands and your feet from opposite, and I will surely, definitely crucify you all together.'
26:50
They said, 'No harm; indeed, we are returning to our Lord.
26:51
Indeed, we hope that our Lord forgives us our sins that we are the first of the believers.'
26:52
And We inspired to Moses saying, 'Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be followed.'
26:53
Then Pharaoh sent gatherers in the cities,
26:54
'Indeed these are surely a little band, few,
26:55
And indeed, they are surely enraging us;
26:56
And indeed, we are surely altogether cautious.'
26:57
Then We drove them out of gardens and springs,
26:58
And treasures and a noble station;
26:59
Thus, and We made the children of Israel inherit them.
26:60
Then they followed them at sunrise.
26:61
Then when the two troops saw one another, the companions of Moses said, 'Indeed, we will surely be overtaken.'
26:62
He said, 'Not so; indeed, with me is my Lord, soon He will guide me.'
26:63
Then We inspired to Moses saying, 'Strike the sea with your staff.' Then it clove, then each part was like the great mountain.
26:64
And We brought the others near there.
26:65
And we saved Moses and those who were with him all together;
26:66
Then We drowned the others.
26:67
Indeed, in that surely is a sign, and most of them are not believers.
26:68
And indeed, your Lord, surely, He is the Mighty, the Compassionate.
26:69
And recite to them the news of Abraham;
26:70
When he said to his father and his people, 'What do you worship?'
26:71
They said, 'We worship idols, and we will continue to devote ourselves to them.'
26:72
He said, 'Do they hear you when you call?
26:73
Or profit you or harm?'
26:74
They said, 'Nay, we found our fathers thus doing.'
26:75
He said, 'So have you seen what you are worshipping,
26:76
You and your forefathers, the ancients?
26:77
So indeed, they are an enemy to me, except the Lord of the worlds,
26:78
The one who created me, then He guides me,
26:79
And the one who He, He feeds me and He gives me to drink,
26:80
And when I am sick, then He, He heals me,
26:81
And the one who will cause me to die, then He will give me life,
26:82
And the one who I hope that He forgives me my sin on the Day of Judgment.
26:83
My Lord! Give me judgment and join me with the righteous,
26:84
And make for me a tongue of truth among the later people,
26:85
And make me among the inheritors of the Garden of pleasure,
26:86
And forgive my father, indeed, he is among those who err,
26:87
And do not disgrace me on the day they will be raised,
26:88
On the day wealth will not profit nor sons,
26:89
Except one who came to God with a sound heart.'
26:90
And the Garden will be brought near to those who fear;
26:91
And the Hellfire is made manifest to those who err,
26:92
And it will be said to them, 'Where is what you used to worship
26:93
Besides God? Can they help you or help themselves?'
26:94
Then they will be overturned in it, they and those who err,
26:95
And the armies of Iblis all together.
26:96
They will say, while they are in it disputing,
26:97
'By God, indeed, we were surely in clear error
26:98
When we made you equal with the Lord of the worlds.
26:99
And none caused us to go astray except the sinners;
26:100
So there are no intercessors for us,
26:101
And no friend, close friend.
26:102
So if that there is a return for us, then we would be among the believers.'
26:103
Indeed, in that surely is a sign, and most of them are not believers.
26:104
And indeed, your Lord, surely, He is the Mighty, the Compassionate.
26:105
The people of Noah called the messengers liars,
26:106
When their brother Noah said to them, 'Will you not fear?
26:107
Indeed, I am a trustworthy messenger to you,
26:108
So fear God and obey me.
26:109
And I do not ask you for a payment for it. My payment is not except upon the Lord of the worlds.
26:110
So fear God and obey me.'
26:111
They said, 'Shall we believe you, when the most vile have followed you?'
26:112
He said, 'And what is my knowledge of what they used to do?
26:113
Their reckoning is not except upon my Lord, if only you perceive.
26:114
And I am not one who drives away the believers,
26:115
I am not except a clear warner.’
26:116
They said, 'Surely, if you do not desist, O Noah! Surely, you will definitely be among those who are stoned.'
26:117
He said, 'My Lord! Indeed my people called me a liar;
26:118
So judge between me and them, judging; and save me and those who are with me of the believers.'
26:119
Then We saved him and those who were with him in the laden ship,
26:120
Then We drowned the remaining after.
26:121
Indeed, in that surely is a sign, and most of them are not believers.
26:122
And indeed, your Lord, surely, He is the Mighty, the Compassionate.
26:123
'Ad called the messengers liars;
26:124
When their brother Hud said to them, 'Will you not fear?
26:125
Indeed, I am a trustworthy messenger to you;
26:126
So fear God and obey me.
26:127
I do not ask you for a payment for it. My payment is not except upon the Lord of the worlds.
26:128
Do you build a sign in every choice part to play,
26:129
And take large structures perhaps you may dwell forever?
26:130
And when you assault you assault as tyrants;
26:131
So fear God and obey me.
26:132
And fear the one who provided you with what you know,
26:133
He provided you with cattle and children,
26:134
And gardens and springs.
26:135
Indeed I, I fear for you the punishment of a great day.'
26:136
They said, 'Equal on us whether you admonished or you are not among those who admonish,
26:137
This is not except the fiction of the former people,
26:138
And we will not be punished.’
26:139
Then they called him a liar, then We destroyed them. Indeed, in that surely is a sign, and most of them are not believers.
26:140
And indeed, your Lord, surely, He is the Mighty, the Compassionate.
26:141
Thamud called the messengers liars;
26:142
When their brother Salih said to them, 'Will you not fear?
26:143
Indeed, I am a trustworthy messenger to you;
26:144
So fear God and obey me.
26:145
And I do not ask you for a payment for it. My payment is not except upon the Lord of the worlds.
26:146
Will you be left secure in what is here,
26:147
In gardens and springs,
26:148
And corn-fields and palm trees, its spathes are slender?
26:149
And you hew out houses from the mountains skilfully.
26:150
So fear God and obey me;
26:151
And do not obey the command of the extravagant,
26:152
Those who work corruption in the earth and do not reform.'
26:153
They said, 'You are only among those who are bewitched,
26:154
You are not except a mortal like us; so come with a sign, if you are among the truthful.'
26:155
He said, 'This is a she-camel, for her a draught and for you a draught, on a known day;
26:156
And do not touch her with evil, then the punishment of a great day will seize you.'
26:157
Then they hamstrung her, then they became repentant.
26:158
Then the punishment seized them. Indeed, in that surely is a sign, and most of them are not believers.
26:159
And indeed, your Lord, surely, He is the Mighty, the Compassionate.
26:160
The people of Lot called the messengers liars.
26:161
When their brother Lot said to them, 'Will you not fear?
26:162
Indeed, I am a trustworthy messenger to you;
26:163
So fear God and obey me.
26:164
And I do not ask you for a payment for it. My payment is not except upon the Lord of the worlds.
26:165
Do you come to the males of the worlds?
26:166
And you leave what your Lord created for you of your wives? Nay, you are people transgressing.'
26:167
They said, 'Surely, if you do not desist, O Lot! Surely, you will definitely be among those who are driven out.'
26:168
He said, 'Indeed, I am, to your deed, among those who hate.
26:169
My Lord! Save me and my family from what they do.'
26:170
Then We saved him and his family all together,
26:171
Except an old woman among those who tarried.
26:172
Then We destroyed the others.
26:173
And We caused a rain to rain upon them, then evil was the rain of those who were warned.
26:174
Indeed, in that surely is a sign, and most of them are not believers.
26:175
And indeed, your Lord, surely, He is the Mighty, the Compassionate.
26:176
The fellows of the grove called the messengers liars.
26:177
When Shuayb said to them, 'Will you not fear?
26:178
Indeed, I am a trustworthy messenger to you,
26:179
So fear God and obey me.
26:180
And I do not ask you for a payment for it. My payment is not except upon the Lord of the worlds.
26:181
Give the measure to the full, and do not be among those who cause loss;
26:182
And weigh with the straight balance,
26:183
And do not diminish the people their things; and do not do mischief in the earth, working corruption;
26:184
And fear the one who created you and the former nations.'
26:185
They said, 'You are only among those who are bewitched.
26:186
And you are not except a mortal like us; and indeed, we think you are surely among the liars;
26:187
Then make pieces of the sky fall on us, if you are among the truthful.'
26:188
He said, 'My Lord knows best what you do.'
26:189
Then they called him a liar, then the punishment of the day of the canopy seized them; indeed, it was a punishment of a great day.
26:190
Indeed, in that surely is a sign, and most of them are not believers.
26:191
And indeed, your Lord, surely, He is the Mighty, the Compassionate.
26:192
And indeed, it is surely a revelation of the Lord of the worlds;
26:193
The trustworthy spirit brought it down
26:194
Upon your heart, that you may be among the warners;
26:195
In clear Arabic language.
26:196
And indeed, it is surely in the scriptures of the former people.
26:197
And is it not a sign for them that the knowing ones of the children of Israel know it?
26:198
And had We sent it down upon one of the foreigners,
26:199
Then he read it to them, they would not believe in it.
26:200
Thus, We inserted it in the hearts of the sinners,
26:201
They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.
26:202
Then it will come to them suddenly, while they do not perceive.
26:203
Then they will say, 'Shall we be given respite?'
26:204
So do they seek to hasten Our punishment?
26:205
So have you seen if We give them years of enjoyment,
26:206
Then what they were promised comes to them,
26:207
What enjoyment they were given will not avail them.
26:208
And We destroyed no town except it had warners,
26:209
A reminder, and We are not wrongdoers.
26:210
And the devils have not brought it down;
26:211
And it is not appropriate for them; and they are not able.
26:212
Indeed, they are surely far from the hearing.
26:213
So do not call on another god with God, then you will be among those who are punished;
26:214
And warn your kinsfolk, the nearer relatives.
26:215
And lower your wing to those who followed you among the believers;
26:216
Then if they rebel against you, then say, ' Indeed, I am clear of what you do,'
26:217
And rely on the Mighty, the Compassionate,
26:218
The one who sees you when you stand up,
26:219
And your going to and fro among those who prostrate.
26:220
Indeed He, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
26:221
Shall I inform you of those upon whom the devils descend?
26:222
They descend upon every sinful liar,
26:223
They offer the hearing; and most of them are liars.
26:224
And the poets, those who err follow them.
26:225
Did you not see that they wander in every valley?
26:226
And that they, they say what they do not do?
26:227
Except those who believed and did good works and remember God much and defend themselves after they have been wronged. And soon those who did wrong will know what return they will return.
