The Qur'an
(Koran) - M. H. Shakir |
|
|
In the name of
Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[26.1] Ta Sin
Mim.
[26.2] These are the verses
of the Book that makes (things)
clear.
[26.3] Perhaps you will kill
yourself with grief because they do
not believe.
[26.4] If We please, We
should send down upon them a sign
from the heaven so that their necks
should stoop to it.
[26.5] And there does not
come to them a new reminder from the
Beneficent God but they turn aside
from it.
[26.6] So they have indeed
rejected (the truth), therefore the
news of that which they mock shall
soon come to them.
[26.7] Do they not see the
earth, how many of every noble kind
We have caused to grow in it?
[26.8] Most surely there is a
sign in that, but most of them will
not believe.
[26.9] And most surely your
Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
[26.10] And when your Lord
called out to Musa, saying: Go to
the unjust people,
[26.11] The people of Firon:
Will they not guard (against evil)?
[26.12] He said: O my Lord!
surely I fear that they will reject
me;
[26.13] And by breast
straitens, and my tongue is not
eloquent, therefore send Thou to
Haroun (to help me);
[26.14] And they have a crime
against me, therefore I fear that
they may slay me.
[26.15] He said: By no means,
so go you both with Our signs;
surely We are with you, hearing;
[26.16] Then come to Firon
and say: Surely we are the
messengers of the Lord of the
worlds:
[26.17] Then send with us the
children of Israel.
[26.18] (Firon) said: Did we
not bring you up as a child among
us, and you tarried among us for
(many) years of your life?
[26.19] And you did (that)
deed of yours which you did, and you
are one of the ungrateful.
[26.20] He said: I did it
then while I was of those unable to
see the right course;
[26.21] So I fled from you
when I feared you, then my Lord
granted me wisdom and made me of the
apostles;
[26.22] And is it a favor of
which you remind me that you have
enslaved the children of Israel?
[26.23] Firon 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 them, if you would be
sure.
[26.25] (Firon) said to those
around him: Do you not hear?
[26.26] He said: Your Lord
and the Lord of your fathers of old.
[26.27] Said he: Most surely
your Apostle who is sent to you is
mad.
[26.28] He said: The Lord of
the east and the west and what is
between them, if you understand.
[26.29] Said he: If you will
take a god besides me, I will most
certainly make you one of the
imprisoned.
[26.30] He said: What! even
if I bring to you something
manifest?
[26.31] Said he: Bring it
then, if you are of the truthful
ones.
[26.32] So he cast down his
rod, and lo! it was an obvious
serpent,
[26.33] And he drew forth his
hand, and lo! it appeared white to
the onlookers.
[26.34] (Firon) said to the
chiefs around him: Most surely this
is a skillful magician,
[26.35] Who desires to turn
you out of your land with his magic;
what is it then that you advise?
[26.36] They said: Give him
and his brother respite and send
heralds into the cities
[26.37] That they should
bring to you every skillful
magician.
[26.38] So the magicians were
gathered together at the appointed
time on the fixed day,
[26.39] And it was said to
the people: Will you gather
together?
[26.40] Haply we may follow
the magicians, if they are the
vanquishers.
[26.41] And when the
magicians came, they said to Firon:
Shall we get a reward if we are the
vanquishers?
[26.42] He said: Yes, and
surely you will then be of those who
are made near.
[26.43] Musa said to them:
Cast what you are going to cast.
[26.44] So they cast down
their cords and their rods and said:
By Firon's power, we shall most
surely be victorious.
[26.45] Then Musa cast down
his staff and lo! it swallowed up
the lies they told.
[26.46] And the magicians
were thrown down prostrate;
[26.47] They said: We believe
in the Lord of the worlds:
[26.48] The Lord of Musa and
Haroun.
[26.49] Said he: You believe
in him before I give you permission;
most surely he is the chief of you
who taught you the magic, so you
shall know: certainly I will cut off
your hands and your feet on opposite
sides, and certainly I will crucify
you all.
[26.50] They said: No harm;
surely to our Lord we go back;
[26.51] Surely we hope that
our Lord will forgive us our wrongs
because we are the first of the
believers.
[26.52] And We revealed to
Musa, saying: Go away with My
servants traveling by night, surely
you will be pursued.
[26.53] So Firon sent heralds
into the cities;
[26.54] Most surely these are
a small company;
[26.55] And most surely they
have enraged us;
[26.56] And most surely we
are a vigilant multitude.
[26.57] So We turned them out
of gardens and springs,
[26.58] And treasures and
goodly dwellings,
[26.59] Even so. And We gave
them as a heritage to the children
of Israel.
[26.60] Then they pursued
them at sunrise.
[26.61] So when the two hosts
saw each other, the companions of
Musa cried out: Most surely we are
being overtaken.
[26.62] He said: By no means;
surely my Lord is with me: He will
show me a way out.
[26.63] Then We revealed to
Musa: Strike the sea with your
staff. So it had cloven asunder, and
each part was like a huge mound.
[26.64] And We brought near,
there, the others.
[26.65] And We saved Musa and
those with him, all of them.
[26.66] Then We drowned the
others.
[26.67] Most surely there is
a sign in this, but most of them do
not believe.
[26.68] And most surely your
Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
[26.69] And recite to them
the story of Ibrahim.
[26.70] When he said to his
father and his people: What do you
worship?
[26.71] They said: We worship
idols, so we shall be their
votaries.
[26.72] He said: Do they hear
you when you call?
[26.73] Or do they profit you
or cause you harm?
[26.74] They said: Nay, we
found our fathers doing so.
[26.75] He said: Have you
then considered what you have been
worshipping:
[26.76] You and your ancient
sires.
[26.77] Surely they are
enemies to me, but not (so) the Lord
of the worlds;
[26.78] Who created me, then
He has shown me the way:
[26.79] And He Who gives me
to eat and gives me to drink:
[26.80] And when I am sick,
then He restores me to health
[26.81] And He Who will cause
me to die, then give me life;
[26.82] And Who, I hope, will
forgive me my mistakes on the day of
judgment.
[26.83] My Lord: Grant me
wisdom, and join me with the good
[26.84] And ordain for me a
goodly mention among posterity
[26.85] And make me of the
heirs of the garden of bliss
[26.86] And forgive my
father, for surely he is of those
who have gone astray;
[26.87] And disgrace me not
on the day when they are raised
[26.88] The day on which
property will not avail, nor sons
[26.89] Except him who comes
to Allah with a heart free (from
evil).
[26.90] And the garden shall
be brought near for those who guard
(against evil),
[26.91] And the hell shall be
made manifest to the erring ones,
[26.92] And it shall be said
to them: Where are those that you
used to worship;
[26.93] Besides Allah? Can
they help you or yet help
themselves?
[26.94] So they shall be
thrown down into it, they and the
erring ones,
[26.95] And the hosts of the
Shaitan, all.
[26.96] They shall say while
they contend therein:
[26.97] By Allah! we were
certainly in manifest error,
[26.98] When we made you
equal to the Lord of the worlds;
[26.99] And none but the
guilty led us astray;
[26.100] So we have no
intercessors,
[26.101] Nor a true friend;
[26.102] But if we could but
once return, we would be of the
believers.
[26.103] Most surely there is
a sign in this, but most of them do
not believe.
[26.104] And most surely your
Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
[26.105] The people of Nuh
rejected the apostles.
[26.106] When their brother
Nuh said to them: Will you not guard
(against evil)?
[26.107] Surely I am a
faithful apostle to you;
[26.108] Therefore guard
against (the punishment of) Allah
and obey me
[26.109] And I do not ask you
any reward for it; my reward is only
with the Lord of the worlds:
[26.110] So guard against
(the punishment of) Allah and obey
me.
[26.111] They said: Shall we
believe in you while the meanest
follow you?
[26.112] He said: And what
knowledge have I of what they do?
[26.113] Their account is
only with my Lord, if you could
perceive
[26.114] And I am not going
to drive away the believers;
[26.115] I am naught but a
plain warner.
[26.116] They said: If you
desist not, O Nuh, you shall most
certainly be of those stoned to
death.
[26.117] He said: My Lord!
Surely my people give me the lie!
[26.118] Therefore judge Thou
between me and them with a (just)
judgment, and deliver me and those
who are with me of the believers.
[26.119] So We delivered him
and those with him in the laden ark.
[26.120] Then We drowned the
rest afterwards
[26.121] Most surely there is
a sign in this, but most of them do
not believe.
[26.122] And most surely your
Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
[26.123] Ad gave the lie to
the apostles.
[26.124] When their brother
Hud said to them: Will you not guard
(against evil)?
[26.125] Surely I am a
faithful apostle to you;
[26.126] Therefore guard
against (the punishment of) Allah
and obey me:
[26.127] And I do not ask you
any reward for it; surely my reward
is only with the Lord of the worlds
[26.128] Do you build on
every height a monument? Vain is it
that you do:
[26.129] And you make strong
fortresses that perhaps you may
[26.130] And when you lay
hands (on men) you lay hands (like)
tyrants;
[26.131] So guard against
(the punishment of) Allah and obey
me
[26.132] And be careful of
(your duty to) Him Who has given you
abundance of what you know.
[26.133] He has given you
abundance of cattle and children
[26.134] And gardens and
fountains;
[26.135] Surely I fear for
you the chastisement of a grievous
day
[26.136] They said: It is the
same to us whether you admonish or
are not one of the admonishers
[26.137] This is naught but a
custom of the ancients;
[26.138] And we are not going
to be punished.
[26.139] So they gave him the
lie, then We destroyed them. Most
surely there is a sign in this, but
most of them do not believe.
[26.140] And most surely your
Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
[26.141] Samood gave the lie
to the apostles
[26.142] When their brother
Salih said to them: Will you not
guard (against evil)?
[26.143] Surely I am a
faithful apostle to you
[26.144] Therefore guard
against (the punishment of) Allah
and obey me:
[26.145] And I do not ask you
any reward for it; my reward is only
with the Lord of the worlds:
[26.146] Will you be left
secure in what is here;
[26.147] In gardens and
fountains,
[26.148] And cornfields and
palm-trees having fine spadices?
[26.149] And you hew houses
out of the mountains exultingly;
[26.15O] Therefore guard
against (the punishment of) Allah
and obey me;
[26.151] And do not obey the
bidding of the extravagant,
[26.152] Who make mischief in
the land and do not act aright.
[26.153] They said: You are
only of the deluded ones;
[26.154] You are naught but a
mortal like ourselves; so bring a
sign if you are one of the truthful.
[26.155] He said: This is a
she-camel; she shall have her
portion of water, and you have your
portion of water on an appointed
time;
[26.156] And do not touch her
with evil, lest the punishment of a
grievous day should overtake you.
[26.157] But they hamstrung
her, then regretted;
[26.158] So the punishment
overtook them. Most surely there is
a sign in this, but most of them do
not believe.
[26.159] And most surely your
Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
[26.160] The people of Lut
gave the lie to the apostles.
[26.161] When their brother
Lut said to them: Will you not guard
(against evil)?
[26.162] Surely I am a
faithful apostle to you;
[26.163] Therefore guard
against (the punishment of) Allah
and obey me:
[26.164] And I do not ask you
any reward for it; my reward is only
with the Lord of the worlds;
[26.165] What! do you come to
the males from among the creatures
[26.166] And leave what your
Lord has created for you of your
wives? Nay, you are a people
exceeding limits.
[26.167] They said: If you
desist not, O Lut! you shall surely
be of those who are expelled.
[26.168] He said: Surely I am
of those who utterly abhor your
[26.169] My Lord ! deliver me
and my followers from what they do.
[26.17O] So We delivered him
and his followers all,
[26.171] Except an old woman,
among those who remained behind.
[26.172] Then We utterly
destroyed the others.
[26.173] And We rained down
upon them a rain, and evil was the
rain on those warned.
[26.174] Most surely there is
a sign in this, but most of them do
not believe.
[26.175] And most surely your
Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
[26.176] The dwellers of the
thicket gave the lie to the
apostles.
[26.177] When Shu'aib said to
them: Will you not guard (against
evil)?
[26.178] Surely I am a
faithful apostle to you;
[26.179] Therefore guard
against (the punishment of) Allah
and obey me:
[26.180] And I do not ask you
any reward for it, my reward is only
with the Lord of the worlds;
[26.181] Give a full measure
and be not of those who diminish;
[26.182] And weigh (things)
with a right balance,
[26.183] And do not wrong men
of their things, and do not act
corruptly in the earth, making
mischief.
[26.184] And guard against
(the punishment of) Him who created
you and the former nations.
[26.185] They said: You are
only of those deluded;
[26.186] And you are naught
but a mortal like ourselves, and we
know you to be certainly of the
liars.
[26.187] Therefore cause a
portion of the heaven to come down
upon us, if you are one of the
truthful.
[26.188] He said: My Lord
knows best what you do.
[26.189] But they called him
a liar, so the punishment of the day
of covering overtook them; surely it
was the punishment of a grievous
day.
[26.190] Most surely there is
a sign in this, but most of them do
not believe.
[26.191] And most surely your
Lord is Mighty, the Merciful.
[26.192] And most surely this
is a revelation from the Lord of the
worlds.
[26.193] The Faithful Spirit
has descended with it,
[26.194] Upon your heart that
you may be of the warners
[26.195] In plain Arabic
language.
[26.196] And most surely the
same is in the scriptures of the
ancients.
[26.197] Is it not a sign to
them that the learned men of the
Israelites know it?
[26.198] And if we had
revealed it to any of the foreigners
[26.199] So that he should
have recited it to them, they would
not have believed therein.
[26.200] Thus have We caused
it to enter into the hearts of the
guilty.
[26.201] They will not
believe in it until they see the
painful punishment.
[26.202] And it shall come to
them all of a sudden, while they
shall not perceive;
[26.203] Then they will say:
Shall we be respited?
[26.204] What! do they still
seek to hasten on Our punishment?
[26.205] Have you then
considered if We let them enjoy
themselves for years,
[26.206] Then there comes to
them that with which they are
threatened,
[26.207] That which they were
made to enjoy shall not avail them?
[26.208] And We did not
destroy any town but it had (its)
warners,
[26.209] To remind, and We
are never unjust.
[26.210] And the Shaitans
have not come down with it.
[26.211] And it behooves them
not, and they have not the power to
do (it).
[26.212] Most surely they are
far removed from the hearing of it.
[26.213] So call not upon
another god with Allah, lest you be
of those who are punished.
[26.214] And warn your
nearest relations,
[26.215] And be kind to him
who follows you of the believers.
[26.216] But if they disobey
you, then say: Surely I am clear of
what you do.
[26.217] And rely on the
Mighty, the Merciful,
[26.218] Who sees you when
you stand up.
[26.219] And your turning
over and over among those who
prostrate themselves before Allah.
[26.220] Surely He is the
Hearing, the Knowing.
[26.221] Shall I inform you
(of him) upon whom the Shaitans
descend?
[26.222] They descend upon
every lying, sinful one,
[26.223] They incline their
ears, and most of them are liars.
[26.224] And as to the poets,
those who go astray follow them.
[26.225] Do you not see that
they wander about bewildered in
every valley?
[26.226] And that they say
that which they do not do,
[26.227] Except those who
believe and do good and remember
Allah much, and defend themselves
after they are oppressed; and they
who act unjustly shall know to what
final place of turning they shall
turn back. |
