English - Chapter 26 - Ash-Shuara

Ta Sin Mim

These are Ayat of the Book Mubin

It may be that you are going Bakhi` yourself, that they do not become believers

If We will, We could send down to them from the heaven a sign, to which they would bend their necks in humility

And never comes there unto them a Reminder as a recent revelation from the Most Gracious, but they turn away therefrom

So, they have indeed denied, then the news of what they mocked at will come to them

Do they not observe the earth -- how much of every good kind We cause to grow therein

Verily, in this is an Ayah, yet most of them are not believers

And verily your Lord, He is truly the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful

And (remember) when your Lord called Musa (saying): "Go to the people who are wrongdoers

The people of Fira`wn. Will they not have Taqwa

He said: "My Lord! Verily, I fear that they will deny me

And my breast straitens, and my tongue expresses not well. So send for Harun

And they have a charge of crime against me, and I fear they will kill me

(Allah) said: "Nay! Go you both with Our signs. Verily, We shall be with you, listening

And go both of you to Fira`wn, and say: `We are the Messengers of the Lord of Al-`Alamin

So allow the Children of Israel to go with us

(Fir`awn) said (to Musa): "Did we not bring you up among us as a child And you did dwell many years of your life with us

And you did your deed, which you did. While you were one of the ingrates

Musa said: "I did it then, when I was in error

So, I fled from you when I feared you. But my Lord has granted me Hukm, and made me one of the Messengers

And this is the past favor with which you reproach me, -- that you have enslaved the Children of Israel

Fir`awn said: "And what is the Lord of Al-`Alamin

(Musa) said: "The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, if you seek to be convinced with certainty

(Fir`awn) said to those around: "Do you not hear (what he says)

(Musa) said: "Your Lord and the Lord of your ancient fathers

(Fir`awn) said: "Verily, your Messenger who has been sent to you is a madman

(Musa) said: "Lord of the east and the west, and all that is between them, if you did but understand

He said: "If you choose a god other than me, I will certainly put you among the prisoners

He said: "Even if I bring you something manifest

He said: "Bring it forth then, if you are of the truthful

So he threw his stick, and behold, it was a serpent, manifest

And he drew out his hand, and behold, it was white to all beholders

He said to the chiefs around him: "Verily, this is indeed a well-versed sorcerer

He wants to drive you out of your land by his sorcery: what is it then that you command

They said: "Put him off and his brother (for a while), and send callers to the cities

To bring up to you every well-versed sorcerer

So, the sorcerers were assembled at a fixed time on a day appointed

And it was said to the people: "Are you (too) going to assemble

That we may follow the sorcerers if they are the winners

So, when the sorcerers arrived, they said to Fir`awn: "Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners

He said: "Yes, and you shall then verily be of those brought near (to myself)

Musa said to them: "Throw what you are going to throw

So, they threw their ropes and their sticks, and said: "By the might of Fir`awn, it is we who will certainly win

Then Musa threw his stick, and behold, it swallowed up all that they falsely showed

And the sorcerers fell down prostrate

Saying: "We believe in the Lord of Al-`Alamin

The Lord of Musa and Harun

He said: "You have believed in him before I give you leave. Surely, he indeed is your chief, who has taught you magic! So verily, you shall come to know. Verily, I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you all

They said: "No harm! Surely, to our Lord we are to return

Verily, we really hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins, as we are the first of the believers

And We revealed to Musa, saying: "Depart by night with My servants, verily, you will be pursued

Then Fir`awn sent callers to (all) the cities

(Saying): "Verily, these indeed are but a small band

And verily, they have done what has enraged us

But we are a host all assembled, amply forewarned

So, We expelled them from gardens and springs

Treasures, and every kind of honorable place

Thus and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them

So, they pursued them at sunrise

And when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Musa said: "We are sure to be overtaken

(Musa) said: "Nay, verily with me is my Lord. He will guide me

Then We revealed to Musa (saying): "Strike the sea with your stick." And it parted, and each separate part became like huge mountain

Then We brought near the others to that place

And We saved Musa and all those with him

Then We drowned the others

Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers

And verily your Lord, He is truly the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful

And recite to them the story of Ibrahim

When he said to his father and his people: "What do you worship

They said: "We worship idols, and to them we are ever devoted

He said: "Do they hear you when you call

Or do they benefit you or do they cause harm

They said: "(Nay) but we found our fathers doing so

He said: "Do you observe that which you have been worshipping

You and your ancient fathers

Verily, they are enemies to me, save the Lord of Al-`Alamin

Who has created me, and it is He Who guides me

And it is He Who feeds me and gives me to drink

And when I am ill, it is He Who cures me

And Who will cause me to die, and then will bring me to life

And Who, I hope, will forgive me my faults on the Day of Recompense

My Lord! Bestow Hukm on me, and join me with the righteous

And grant me an honorable mention in later generations

And make me one of the inheritors of the Paradise of Delight

And forgive my father, verily, he is of the erring

And disgrace me not on the Day when they will be resurrected

The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail

Except him who brings to Allah a clean heart

And Paradise will be brought near to those who had Taqwa

And the (Hell) Fire will be placed in full view of the astray

And it will be said to them: "Where are those that you used to worship

Instead of Allah Can they help you or help themselves

Then they will be thrown on their faces into it (the Fire), they and the astray

And all of the hosts of Iblis together

They will say while contending therein

By Allah, we were truly in a manifest error

When we held you as equals with the Lord of all that exists

And none has brought us into error except the criminals

Now we have no intercessors

Nor a close friend

(Alas!) If we only had a chance to return, we shall truly be among the believers

Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers

And verily your Lord, He is truly the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful

The people of Nuh denied the Messengers

When their brother Nuh said to them: "Will you not have Taqwa

I am a trustworthy Messenger to you

So have Taqwa of Allah, and obey me

No reward do I ask of you for it; my reward is only from the Lord of all that exists

So have Taqwa of Allah, and obey me

They said: "Shall we believe in you, when the inferior follow you

He said: "And what knowledge have I of what they used to do

Their account is only with my Lord, if you could (but) know

And I am not going to drive away the believers

I am only a plain warner

They said: "If you cease not, O Nuh you will surely be among those stoned

He said: "My Lord! Verily, my people have denied me

Therefore judge You between me and them, and save me and those of the believers who are with me

And We saved him and those with him in the laden ship

Then We drowned the rest thereafter

Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers

And verily your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful

Ad denied the Messengers

When their brother Hud said to them: "Will you not have Taqwa

Verily, I am a trustworthy Messenger to you

So, have Taqwa of Allah, and obey me

No reward do I ask of you for it; my reward is only from the Lord of all that exists

Do you build on every Ri` an Ayah for your amusement

And do you get for yourselves Masani` as if you will live therein forever

And when you seize (somebody), seize you (him) as tyrants

So have Taqwa of Allah, and obey me

And have Taqwa of Him, fear Him Who has aided you with all (good things) that you know

He has aided you with cattle and children

And gardens and springs

Verily, I fear for you the torment of a Great Day

They said: "It is the same to us whether you preach or be not of those who preach

This is no other than Khuluq of the ancients

And we are not going to be punished

So they denied him, and We destroyed them. Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers

And verily your Lord, He is indeed the Almighty, the Most Merciful

Thamud denied the Messengers

When their brother Salih said to them: "Will you not have Taqwa

I am a trustworthy Messenger to you

So, have Taqwa of Allah, and obey me

No reward do I ask of you for it; my reward is only from the Lord of Al-`Alamin

Will you be left secure in that which you have here

In gardens and springs

And crops and date palms with soft clusters

And you hew out in the mountains, houses with great skill

So, have Taqwa of Allah, and obey me

And follow not the command of the extravagant

Who make mischief in the land, and reform not

They said: "You are only of those bewitched

You are but a human being like us. Then bring us a sign if you are of the truthful

He said: "Here is a she-camel: it has a right to drink (water), and you have a right to drink (water) (each) on a day, known

And touch her not with harm, lest the torment of a Great Day should seize you

But they killed her, and then they became regretful

So, the torment overtook them. Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers

And verily, your Lord He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful

The people of Lut denied the Messengers

When their brother Lut said to them: "Will you not have Taqwa

Verily, I am a trustworthy Messenger to you

So, have Taqwa of Allah, and obey me

No reward do I ask of you for it; my reward is only from the Lord of all that exits

Go you in unto the males of Al-`Alamin (people)

And leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your wives Nay, you are a trespassing people

They said: "If you cease not, O Lut, verily, you will be one of those who are driven out

He said: "I am indeed of those who disapprove with severe anger and fury your behavior

My Lord! Save me and my family from what they do

So, We saved him and his family, all

Except an old woman among those who remained behind

Then afterward We destroyed the others

And We rained on them a rain, and how evil was the rain of those who had been warned

Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers

And verily your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful

The companions of Al-Aykah denied the Messengers

When Shu`ayb said to them: "Will you not have Taqwa

I am a trustworthy Messenger to you

So, have Taqwa of Allah, and obey me

No reward do I ask of you for it; my reward is only from the Lord of Al-`Alamin

Give full measure, and cause no loss (to others)

And weigh with the true and straight balance

And defraud not people by reducing their things, nor do evil, making corruption and mischief in the land

And have Taqwa of Him Who created you and the generations of the men of old

They said: "You are only one of those bewitched

You are but a human being like us and verily, we think that you are one of the liars

So, cause a piece of the heaven to fall on us, if you are of the truthful

He said: "My Lord is the Best Knower of what you do

But they denied him, so the torment of the Day of Shadow (a gloomy cloud) seized them. Indeed that was the torment of a Great Day

Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers

And verily your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful

And truly, this is a revelation from the Lord of all that exists

Which the trustworthy Ruh (Jibril) has brought down

Upon your heart that you may be (one) of the warners

In the plain Arabic language

And verily, it is in the Zubur of the former people

Is it not a sign to them that the learned scholars of the Children of Israel knew it

And if We had revealed it unto any of the non-Arabs

And he had recited it unto them, they would not have believed in it

Thus have We caused it to enter the hearts of the criminals

They will not believe in it until they see the painful torment

It shall come to them of a sudden, while they perceive it not

Then they will say: "Can we be respited

Would they then wish for Our torment to be hastened on

Think, if We do let them enjoy for years

And afterwards comes to them that which they had been promised

All that with which they used to enjoy shall not avail them

And never did We destroy a township but it had its warners

By way of reminder, and We have never been unjust

And it is not the Shayatin (devils) who have brought it down

Neither would it suit them nor are they able

Verily, they have been removed far from hearing it

So, invoke not with Allah another god lest you should be among those who receive punishment

And warn your tribe of near kindred

And be kind and humble to the believers who follow you

Then if they disobey you, say: "I am innocent of what you do

And put your trust in the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful

Who sees you when you stand up

And your movements among those who fall prostrate

Verily, He, only He, is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower

Shall I inform you upon whom the Shayatin descend

They descend on every lying, sinful person (Athim)

Who gives ear, and most of them are liars

As for the poets, the astray follow them

See you not that they speak about every subject in their poetry

And that they say what they do not do

Except those who believe and do righteous deeds, and remember Allah much and vindicate themselves after they have been wronged. And those who do wrong will come to know by what overturning they will be overturned
