"The Poets"
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 straightens, 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 travelling 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 worshiping:
"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 abide
"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 doing:
"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.
