25. Al-Furqan

25:21

وَقَالَ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یَرْجُوْنَ لِقَآءَنَا لَوْلَاۤ اُنْزِلَ عَلَیْنَا الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةُ اَوْ نَرٰی رَبَّنَا ؕ لَقَدِ اسْتَكْبَرُوْا فِیْۤ اَنْفُسِهِمْ وَعَتَوْ عُتُوًّا كَبِیْرًا

Said those who do not even expect to meet Us, “Why the angels are not sent down to us or why do we not see our Lord?” Indeed they think too highly of themselves, and have gone too far in rebellion.
25:22

یَوْمَ یَرَوْنَ الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةَ لَا بُشْرٰی یَوْمَىِٕذٍ لِّلْمُجْرِمِیْنَ وَیَقُوْلُوْنَ حِجْرًا مَّحْجُوْرًا

The Day they will see the angels, there will be no good news for the sinners that day, and they will say, “(We need) a shelter, fully protected!”
25:23

وَقَدِمْنَاۤ اِلٰی مَا عَمِلُوْا مِنْ عَمَلٍ فَجَعَلْنٰهُ هَبَآءً مَّنْثُوْرًا

And We will proceed to whatever deeds they did, and will turn them into scattered dust.
25:24

اَصْحٰبُ الْجَنَّةِ یَوْمَىِٕذٍ خَیْرٌ مُّسْتَقَرًّا وَّاَحْسَنُ مَقِیْلًا

The people of Paradise, on that day, will be the best in (terms of their) abode and best in (terms of their) resting-place.
25:25

وَیَوْمَ تَشَقَّقُ السَّمَآءُ بِالْغَمَامِ وَنُزِّلَ الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةُ تَنْزِیْلًا

The Day the sky will break open with a cloud, and the angels will be sent down in a majestic descent,
25:26

اَلْمُلْكُ یَوْمَىِٕذِ لْحَقُّ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ ؕ وَكَانَ یَوْمًا عَلَی الْكٰفِرِیْنَ عَسِیْرًا

the Kingdom on that day will be for the RaHmān (the All-Merciful, Allah), and it will be a difficult day for the disbelievers.
25:27

وَیَوْمَ یَعَضُّ الظَّالِمُ عَلٰی یَدَیْهِ یَقُوْلُ یٰلَیْتَنِی اتَّخَذْتُ مَعَ الرَّسُوْلِ سَبِیْلًا

And (Be mindful of) the Day the wrongdoer will bite his hands saying, “Would that I had taken a path along with the messenger!
25:28

یٰوَیْلَتٰی لَیْتَنِیْ لَمْ اَتَّخِذْ فُلَانًا خَلِیْلًا

Woe to me! Would that I had not taken so-and-so for my friend!
25:29

لَقَدْ اَضَلَّنِیْ عَنِ الذِّكْرِ بَعْدَ اِذْ جَآءَنِیْ ؕ وَكَانَ الشَّیْطٰنُ لِلْاِنْسَانِ خَذُوْلًا

Indeed he led me astray from the advice after it had come to me.” And the Satan is man’s betrayer.
25:30

وَقَالَ الرَّسُوْلُ یٰرَبِّ اِنَّ قَوْمِی اتَّخَذُوْا هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنَ مَهْجُوْرًا

And the messenger will say, “O my Lord, my people had taken this Qur’ān as deserted.”
25:31

وَكَذٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِیٍّ عَدُوًّا مِّنَ الْمُجْرِمِیْنَ ؕ وَكَفٰی بِرَبِّكَ هَادِیًا وَّنَصِیْرًا

In a similar way We made for every prophet an enemy from among the sinners, but your Lord suffices as a guide and as a supporter.
25:32

وَقَالَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَیْهِ الْقُرْاٰنُ جُمْلَةً وَّاحِدَةً ۛۚ كَذٰلِكَ ۛۚ لِنُثَبِّتَ بِهٖ فُؤَادَكَ وَرَتَّلْنٰهُ تَرْتِیْلًا

Said those who disbelieved, “Why has the Qur’ān not been revealed to him all at once?” (It has been sent down) in this way (i.e. in parts) so that We make your heart firm, and We revealed it little by little.
25:33

وَلَا یَاْتُوْنَكَ بِمَثَلٍ اِلَّا جِئْنٰكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَاَحْسَنَ تَفْسِیْرًا

They bring to you no hypothesis, but We bring to you the correct position and (an answer) better explained.
25:34

اَلَّذِیْنَ یُحْشَرُوْنَ عَلٰی وُجُوْهِهِمْ اِلٰی جَهَنَّمَ ۙ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَّاَضَلُّ سَبِیْلًا

Those who will be driven on their faces to Hell - they are the worst in situation and far more astray from the path.
25:35

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَیْنَا مُوْسَی الْكِتٰبَ وَجَعَلْنَا مَعَهٗۤ اَخَاهُ هٰرُوْنَ وَزِیْرًا

Surely We gave Mūsā the Book, and appointed his brother Hārūn as a minister with him.
25:36

فَقُلْنَا اذْهَبَاۤ اِلَی الْقَوْمِ الَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا ؕ فَدَمَّرْنٰهُمْ تَدْمِیْرًا

So we said, “Go, both of you, to the people who have rejected Our signs” Then We annihilated them totally.
25:37

وَقَوْمَ نُوْحٍ لَّمَّا كَذَّبُوا الرُّسُلَ اَغْرَقْنٰهُمْ وَجَعَلْنٰهُمْ لِلنَّاسِ اٰیَةً ؕ وَاَعْتَدْنَا لِلظّٰلِمِیْنَ عَذَابًا اَلِیْمًا

As for the people of NūH, when they rejected the messengers, We drowned them and made them an example for mankind, and We have prepared a painful punishment for the transgressors.
25:38

وَّعَادًا وَّثَمُوْدَاۡ وَاَصْحٰبَ الرَّسِّ وَقُرُوْنًا بَیْنَ ذٰلِكَ كَثِیْرًا

And (We annihilated also the peoples of) ‘Ād and Thamūd and the people of Rass, and many generations in between them.
25:39

وَكُلًّا ضَرَبْنَا لَهُ الْاَمْثَالَ ؗ وَكُلًّا تَبَّرْنَا تَتْبِیْرًا

To each (of them) We cited examples, and each of them We brought to utter ruin.
25:40

وَلَقَدْ اَتَوْا عَلَی الْقَرْیَةِ الَّتِیْۤ اُمْطِرَتْ مَطَرَ السَّوْءِ ؕ اَفَلَمْ یَكُوْنُوْا یَرَوْنَهَا ۚ بَلْ كَانُوْا لَا یَرْجُوْنَ نُشُوْرًا

Indeed they (the pagans of Makkah) have passed by the town that was afflicted by an evil rain sent down to it. So, have they not been seeing it? Rather, they do not believe in Resurrection.
25:41

وَاِذَا رَاَوْكَ اِنْ یَّتَّخِذُوْنَكَ اِلَّا هُزُوًا ؕ اَهٰذَا الَّذِیْ بَعَثَ اللّٰهُ رَسُوْلًا

When they see you, they take you only as a laughing stock, (saying) “Is this the man whom Allah has sent as a messenger?
25:42

اِنْ كَادَ لَیُضِلُّنَا عَنْ اٰلِهَتِنَا لَوْلَاۤ اَنْ صَبَرْنَا عَلَیْهَا ؕ وَسَوْفَ یَعْلَمُوْنَ حِیْنَ یَرَوْنَ الْعَذَابَ مَنْ اَضَلُّ سَبِیْلًا

He would have almost led us astray from our gods, had we not been so firm towards them.” They will know when they will see the punishment, who is farther astray in his way.
25:43

اَرَءَیْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ اِلٰهَهٗ هَوٰىهُ ؕ اَفَاَنْتَ تَكُوْنُ عَلَیْهِ وَكِیْلًا

Tell me about the one who has taken his desire as his god, would you then, become a guardian for him?
25:44

اَمْ تَحْسَبُ اَنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ یَسْمَعُوْنَ اَوْ یَعْقِلُوْنَ ؕ اِنْ هُمْ اِلَّا كَالْاَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ اَضَلُّ سَبِیْلًا

Or do you think that most of them listen or understand? They are but like cattle. Rather, they are even farther astray from the (right) way.
25:45

اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلٰی رَبِّكَ كَیْفَ مَدَّ الظِّلَّ ۚ وَلَوْ شَآءَ لَجَعَلَهٗ سَاكِنًا ۚ ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا الشَّمْسَ عَلَیْهِ دَلِیْلًا

Have you not observed how your Lord stretched out the shadow (of the sun)? If He so willed, He would have made it stand still. Then We made the sun an indicator for it.
25:46

ثُمَّ قَبَضْنٰهُ اِلَیْنَا قَبْضًا یَّسِیْرًا

Then We pulled it toward Us in a gradual manner.
25:47

وَهُوَ الَّذِیْ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الَّیْلَ لِبَاسًا وَّالنَّوْمَ سُبَاتًا وَّجَعَلَ النَّهَارَ نُشُوْرًا

He is the One who has made the night an apparel for you, and the sleep a means of rest, and has made the day a means of revival.
25:48

وَهُوَ الَّذِیْۤ اَرْسَلَ الرِّیٰحَ بُشْرًاۢ بَیْنَ یَدَیْ رَحْمَتِهٖ ۚ وَاَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً طَهُوْرًا

And He is the One who has sent the winds conveying good news before His mercy, and We have sent down purifying water from the heavens,
25:49

لِّنُحْیِ بِهٖ بَلْدَةً مَّیْتًا وَّنُسْقِیَهٗ مِمَّا خَلَقْنَاۤ اَنْعَامًا وَّاَنَاسِیَّ كَثِیْرًا

so that We revive a dead land therewith, and give drink to the many cattle and humans created by Us.
25:50

وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنٰهُ بَیْنَهُمْ لِیَذَّكَّرُوْا ۖؗ فَاَبٰۤی اَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ اِلَّا كُفُوْرًا

And We have distributed it (the water) among them, so that they may take lesson. Yet most of the people refused all but ungratefulness.
25:51

وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَبَعَثْنَا فِیْ كُلِّ قَرْیَةٍ نَّذِیْرًا

Had We so willed, We would have sent a (separate) warner for every town, (but, according to Our wisdom, We have sent Muhammad as a prophet for all these towns)
25:52

فَلَا تُطِعِ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ وَجَاهِدْهُمْ بِهٖ جِهَادًا كَبِیْرًا

So, (O Prophet,) do not obey the infidels, and strive against them with it (the Qur’ān), in utmost endeavor.
25:53

وَهُوَ الَّذِیْ مَرَجَ الْبَحْرَیْنِ هٰذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ وَّهٰذَا مِلْحٌ اُجَاجٌ ۚ وَجَعَلَ بَیْنَهُمَا بَرْزَخًا وَّحِجْرًا مَّحْجُوْرًا

He is the One who joined the two seas, so as this is sweet, very sweet, and this is bitter, very bitter, and made between them a buffer and an insurmountable barrier.
25:54

وَهُوَ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَ مِنَ الْمَآءِ بَشَرًا فَجَعَلَهٗ نَسَبًا وَّصِهْرًا ؕ وَكَانَ رَبُّكَ قَدِیْرًا

And He is the One who created man from water, then made of him relations created by lineage and relations created by marriage. Your Lord is All-Powerful.
25:55

وَیَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا یَنْفَعُهُمْ وَلَا یَضُرُّهُمْ ؕ وَكَانَ الْكَافِرُ عَلٰی رَبِّهٖ ظَهِیْرًا

They worship, instead of Allah, what can neither give them any benefit nor can cause them any harm. The disbeliever is always a supporter (of Satan) against his Lord.
25:56

وَمَاۤ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ اِلَّا مُبَشِّرًا وَّنَذِیْرًا

We did not send you but as a bearer of good news and as a warner.
25:57

قُلْ مَاۤ اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَیْهِ مِنْ اَجْرٍ اِلَّا مَنْ شَآءَ اَنْ یَّتَّخِذَ اِلٰی رَبِّهٖ سَبِیْلًا

Say, “I do not demand from you any return, except that one should adopt the (proper) way to his Lord, if he so wills.
25:58

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَی الْحَیِّ الَّذِیْ لَا یَمُوْتُ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِهٖ ؕ وَكَفٰی بِهٖ بِذُنُوْبِ عِبَادِهٖ خَبِیْرَا

And place your trust in the Ever-Living who cannot die, and proclaim His purity along with His praise. Enough is He to be aware of the sins of His servants,
25:59

لَّذِیْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَمَا بَیْنَهُمَا فِیْ سِتَّةِ اَیَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوٰی عَلَی الْعَرْشِ ۛۚ اَلرَّحْمٰنُ فَسْـَٔلْ بِهٖ خَبِیْرًا

the One who created in six days the heavens and the earth and whatever lies between them, then He positioned Himself on the Throne. (He is) the RaHmān (the All-Merciful, Allah). So ask about Him someone who knows.
25:60

وَاِذَا قِیْلَ لَهُمُ اسْجُدُوْا لِلرَّحْمٰنِ قَالُوْا وَمَا الرَّحْمٰنُ ۗ اَنَسْجُدُ لِمَا تَاْمُرُنَا وَزَادَهُمْ نُفُوْرًا

And when it is said to them, “Prostrate yourselves to the RaHmān (the All-Merciful, Allah),” they say “What is RaHmān? Shall we prostrate ourselves to the one to whom you direct us?” And it increases nothing in them except aversion.
25:61

تَبٰرَكَ الَّذِیْ جَعَلَ فِی السَّمَآءِ بُرُوْجًا وَّجَعَلَ فِیْهَا سِرٰجًا وَّقَمَرًا مُّنِیْرًا

Glorious is the One who made stellar formations in the sky, and placed therein a lamp (i.e. the sun) and a bright moon.
25:62

وَهُوَ الَّذِیْ جَعَلَ الَّیْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ خِلْفَةً لِّمَنْ اَرَادَ اَنْ یَّذَّكَّرَ اَوْ اَرَادَ شُكُوْرًا

And He is the One who made the day and the night following each other, for the one who wishes to be mindful or wishes to show gratitude.
25:63

وَعِبَادُ الرَّحْمٰنِ الَّذِیْنَ یَمْشُوْنَ عَلَی الْاَرْضِ هَوْنًا وَّاِذَا خَاطَبَهُمُ الْجٰهِلُوْنَ قَالُوْا سَلٰمًا

The servants of the RaHmān (the All-Merciful, Allah) are those who walk on the earth humbly, and when the ignorant people speak to them, they reply peacefully,
25:64

وَالَّذِیْنَ یَبِیْتُوْنَ لِرَبِّهِمْ سُجَّدًا وَّقِیَامًا

and those who pass the night prostrating themselves and standing before their Lord,
25:65

وَالَّذِیْنَ یَقُوْلُوْنَ رَبَّنَا اصْرِفْ عَنَّا عَذَابَ جَهَنَّمَ ۖۗ اِنَّ عَذَابَهَا كَانَ غَرَامًا

and those who say, “Our Lord, avert from us the punishment of Jahannam (the Hell); indeed, its punishment is a persisting affliction.”
25:66

اِنَّهَا سَآءَتْ مُسْتَقَرًّا وَّمُقَامًا

Indeed, it is evil as an abode and a place to dwell in
25:67

وَالَّذِیْنَ اِذَاۤ اَنْفَقُوْا لَمْ یُسْرِفُوْا وَلَمْ یَقْتُرُوْا وَكَانَ بَیْنَ ذٰلِكَ قَوَامًا

- and those who, when they spend, are neither extravagant nor miserly, and it (i.e. their spending) is moderate in between (the two extremes,)
25:68

وَالَّذِیْنَ لَا یَدْعُوْنَ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهًا اٰخَرَ وَلَا یَقْتُلُوْنَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِیْ حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ اِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا یَزْنُوْنَ ۚ وَمَنْ یَّفْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ یَلْقَ اَثَامًا

- and those who do not invoke any other god along with Allah, and do not kill a person whom Allah has given sanctity, except rightfully, nor do they fornicate; and whoever does it, shall face the recompense of his sin,
25:69

یُّضٰعَفْ لَهُ الْعَذَابُ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ وَیَخْلُدْ فِیْهٖ مُهَانًا

the punishment will be doubled for him, and he will remain there disdained, for ever,
25:70

اِلَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَاٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ یُبَدِّلُ اللّٰهُ سَیِّاٰتِهِمْ حَسَنٰتٍ ؕ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِیْمًا

except the one who repents and believes and does good deeds, then Allah will replace the evils of such people by good deeds, and Allah is Most-Forgiving, Very-Merciful.
25:71

وَمَنْ تَابَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَاِنَّهٗ یَتُوْبُ اِلَی اللّٰهِ مَتَابًا

Whoever repents and does righteous deeds turns to Allah truly
25:72

وَالَّذِیْنَ لَا یَشْهَدُوْنَ الزُّوْرَ ۙ وَاِذَا مَرُّوْا بِاللَّغْوِ مَرُّوْا كِرَامًا

- and those who do not witness falsehood, and when they pass by the absurd things, Pass by them with dignity,
25:73

وَالَّذِیْنَ اِذَا ذُكِّرُوْا بِاٰیٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ لَمْ یَخِرُّوْا عَلَیْهَا صُمًّا وَّعُمْیَانًا

and those who, when they are reminded of the verses of their Lord, do not fall at them as deaf and blind ones,
25:74

وَالَّذِیْنَ یَقُوْلُوْنَ رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ اَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّیّٰتِنَا قُرَّةَ اَعْیُنٍ وَّاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِیْنَ اِمَامًا

- and those who say, “Our Lord, Give us, from our spouses and our children, comfort of eyes, and make us heads of the God-fearing.”
25:75

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ یُجْزَوْنَ الْغُرْفَةَ بِمَا صَبَرُوْا وَیُلَقَّوْنَ فِیْهَا تَحِیَّةً وَّسَلٰمًا

Such people will be rewarded with the high place - because they observed patience - and will be received therein with prayers of their eternal life and peace,
25:76

خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا ؕ حَسُنَتْ مُسْتَقَرًّا وَّمُقَامًا

living in it (the Paradise) for ever. It is best as an abode and as a place to dwell in.
25:77

قُلْ مَا یَعْبَؤُا بِكُمْ رَبِّیْ لَوْلَا دُعَآؤُكُمْ ۚ فَقَدْ كَذَّبْتُمْ فَسَوْفَ یَكُوْنُ لِزَامًا

Say (O Prophet), “My Lord will never care about you, if you will not invoke Him. Now since you rejected (the truth), the punishment will be inseparable from you.”

26. Ash-Shu'ara

26:1

طٰسٓمّٓ

Tā sīn mīm.
26:2

تِلْكَ اٰیٰتُ الْكِتٰبِ الْمُبِیْنِ

These are the verses of the manifest Book.
26:3

لَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ اَلَّا یَكُوْنُوْا مُؤْمِنِیْنَ

(O Prophet,) perhaps you are going to let yourself collapse in grief because they do not believe.
26:4

اِنْ نَّشَاْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَیْهِمْ مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ اٰیَةً فَظَلَّتْ اَعْنَاقُهُمْ لَهَا خٰضِعِیْنَ

If We so will, We can send down to them a sign from the sky, for which their necks will stay bent in submission.
26:5

وَمَا یَاْتِیْهِمْ مِّنْ ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ الرَّحْمٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ اِلَّا كَانُوْا عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِیْنَ

Never a new message comes to them from the RaHmān (the All-Merciful Allah), but they become averse to it.
26:6

فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوْا فَسَیَاْتِیْهِمْ اَنْۢبٰٓؤُا مَا كَانُوْا بِهٖ یَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ

Thus they rejected (the Truth); well, soon will come to them the real descriptions of what they used to ridicule.
26:7

اَوَلَمْ یَرَوْا اِلَی الْاَرْضِ كَمْ اَنْۢبَتْنَا فِیْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِیْمٍ

Have they not looked at the earth, how many of the noble pairs (of vegetation) We have caused to grow in it?
26:8

اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیَةً ؕ وَمَا كَانَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ

Surely, in this there is a sign, but most of them are not believers,
26:9

وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِیْزُ الرَّحِیْمُ

and indeed your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
26:10

وَاِذْ نَادٰی رَبُّكَ مُوْسٰۤی اَنِ ائْتِ الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ

(Remember) when your Lord called Mūsā saying, “Go to the transgressing people,
26:11

قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ؕ اَلَا یَتَّقُوْنَ

the people of Pharaoh. Do they not fear Allah?”
26:12

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ اَنْ یُّكَذِّبُوْنِ

He (Mūsā) said, “My Lord, I fear that they will reject me.
26:13

وَیَضِیْقُ صَدْرِیْ وَلَا یَنْطَلِقُ لِسَانِیْ فَاَرْسِلْ اِلٰی هٰرُوْنَ

My heart gets straitened, and my tongue is not fluent; so send for Hārūn.
26:14

وَلَهُمْ عَلَیَّ ذَنْۢبٌ فَاَخَافُ اَنْ یَّقْتُلُوْنِ

Moreover, they have (leveled) a charge of offence against me, and I fear they will kill me;”
26:15

قَالَ كَلَّا ۚ فَاذْهَبَا بِاٰیٰتِنَاۤ اِنَّا مَعَكُمْ مُّسْتَمِعُوْنَ

He (Allah) said, “Never! (They will not be able to kill you.) So go, both of you, with Our signs. We are with you, listening (to the conversation you will have with him.)
26:16

فَاْتِیَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُوْلَاۤ اِنَّا رَسُوْلُ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ

So go, both of you, to Pharaoh and say, ‘We both are messengers of the Lord of all the worlds,
26:17

اَنْ اَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ

(sent with the message) that you must send the children of Isrā’īl with us’”.
26:18

قَالَ اَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِیْنَا وَلِیْدًا وَّلَبِثْتَ فِیْنَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِیْنَ

He (Pharaoh) said, “Did we not nourish you among us as a child? And you remained amidst us for years,
26:19

وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ الَّتِیْ فَعَلْتَ وَاَنْتَ مِنَ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ

and you did the blunder you did; still you are ungrateful.”
26:20

قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَاۤ اِذًا وَّاَنَا مِنَ الضَّآلِّیْنَ

He said, “I did that at a time when I was mistaken.
26:21

فَفَرَرْتُ مِنْكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِیْ رَبِّیْ حُكْمًا وَّجَعَلَنِیْ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِیْنَ

Then I fled away from you when I feared you. Thereafter my Lord granted wisdom to me, and made me one of the messengers.
26:22

وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَیَّ اَنْ عَبَّدْتَّ بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ

As for the favor with which you are obliging me, it is that you have enslaved the children of Isrā’īl.”
26:23

قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ

Pharaoh said, “What is the Lord of the worlds?”
26:24

قَالَ رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَیْنَهُمَا ؕ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّوْقِنِیْنَ

He (Mūsā) said, “Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever there is between them, if you are to believe”
26:25

قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهٗۤ اَلَا تَسْتَمِعُوْنَ

He (The Pharaoh) said to those around him, “Are you not hearing?”
26:26

قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ اٰبَآىِٕكُمُ الْاَوَّلِیْنَ

He (Mūsā) said, “Your Lord and the Lord of your early forefathers”
26:27

قَالَ اِنَّ رَسُوْلَكُمُ الَّذِیْۤ اُرْسِلَ اِلَیْكُمْ لَمَجْنُوْنٌ

He (Pharaoh) said, “Your messenger who is sent to you is a mad man indeed.”
26:28

قَالَ رَبُّ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَیْنَهُمَا ؕ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْقِلُوْنَ

He (Mūsā) said, “Lord of the East and the West and whatever lies between them, if you are to understand.”
26:29

قَالَ لَىِٕنِ اتَّخَذْتَ اِلٰهًا غَیْرِیْ لَاَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ الْمَسْجُوْنِیْنَ

He (Pharaoh) said, “If you adopt a God other than me, I will certainly put you to prison.”
26:30

قَالَ اَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَیْءٍ مُّبِیْنٍ

He (Mūsā) said “Will you (do this) even if I bring to you something evident?”
26:31

قَالَ فَاْتِ بِهٖۤ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ

He said, “Then bring it, if you are truthful.”
26:32

فَاَلْقٰی عَصَاهُ فَاِذَا هِیَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِیْنٌ

So, he threw down his staff, and in no time it was a serpent, clearly visible,
26:33

وَّنَزَعَ یَدَهٗ فَاِذَا هِیَ بَیْضَآءُ لِلنّٰظِرِیْنَ

and he drew out his hand, and right then it was a white light to the onlookers.
26:34

قَالَ لِلْمَلَاِ حَوْلَهٗۤ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَسٰحِرٌ عَلِیْمٌ

He (Pharaoh) said to the chiefs around him “This man is certainly an expert sorcerer”.
26:35

یُّرِیْدُ اَنْ یُّخْرِجَكُمْ مِّنْ اَرْضِكُمْ بِسِحْرِهٖ ۖۗ فَمَاذَا تَاْمُرُوْنَ

He wants to expel you from your land with his sorcery. So what do you suggest?”
26:36

قَالُوْۤا اَرْجِهْ وَاَخَاهُ وَابْعَثْ فِی الْمَدَآىِٕنِ حٰشِرِیْنَ

They said, “Leave him and his brother alone for some time, and send heralds to the cities,
26:37

یَاْتُوْكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِیْمٍ

so that they bring to you every highly expert sorcerer.”
26:38

فَجُمِعَ السَّحَرَةُ لِمِیْقَاتِ یَوْمٍ مَّعْلُوْمٍ

So the sorcerers were assembled for the appointed time of a known day,
26:39

وَّقِیْلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّجْتَمِعُوْنَ

and it was said to the people, “Would you assemble,
26:40

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ السَّحَرَةَ اِنْ كَانُوْا هُمُ الْغٰلِبِیْنَ

so that we may follow the sorcerers if they are victorious?”
26:41

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ السَّحَرَةُ قَالُوْا لِفِرْعَوْنَ اَىِٕنَّ لَنَا لَاَجْرًا اِنْ كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغٰلِبِیْنَ

So, when the sorcerers came, they said to Pharaoh, “Will there be a sure reward for us, if we are the victorious?”
26:42

قَالَ نَعَمْ وَاِنَّكُمْ اِذًا لَّمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِیْنَ

He said, “Yes, and of course, you will then be among the closer ones.”
26:43

قَالَ لَهُمْ مُّوْسٰۤی اَلْقُوْا مَاۤ اَنْتُمْ مُّلْقُوْنَ

Mūsā said to them, “Throw you down what you are to throw.”
26:44

فَاَلْقَوْا حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِیَّهُمْ وَقَالُوْا بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ اِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْغٰلِبُوْنَ

So they threw down their ropes and their staffs and said, “By the majesty of Pharaoh, we will be the triumphant for sure.”
26:45

فَاَلْقٰی مُوْسٰی عَصَاهُ فَاِذَا هِیَ تَلْقَفُ مَا یَاْفِكُوْنَ

Then Mūsā threw down his staff, and in no time it started swallowing the falsehood they invented.
26:46

فَاُلْقِیَ السَّحَرَةُ سٰجِدِیْنَ

So the sorcerers were made (by the truth they saw) to fall down in prostration.
26:47

قَالُوْۤا اٰمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ

They said, “We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,
26:48

رَبِّ مُوْسٰی وَهٰرُوْنَ

the Lord of Mūsā and Hārūn.”
26:49

قَالَ اٰمَنْتُمْ لَهٗ قَبْلَ اَنْ اٰذَنَ لَكُمْ ۚ اِنَّهٗ لَكَبِیْرُكُمُ الَّذِیْ عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَ ۚ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَ ؕ۬ لَاُقَطِّعَنَّ اَیْدِیَكُمْ وَاَرْجُلَكُمْ مِّنْ خِلَافٍ وَّلَاُوصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ اَجْمَعِیْنَ

He (Pharaoh) said, “You have believed in him before I permit you. Surely, he (Mūsā) is the chief of you all, who has taught you sorcery. So you will soon know (your fate). I will cut off your hands and feet from different sides, and will crucify you all together.
26:50

قَالُوْا لَا ضَیْرَ ؗ اِنَّاۤ اِلٰی رَبِّنَا مُنْقَلِبُوْنَ

They said, “There is no harm. We will return to our Lord.
26:51

اِنَّا نَطْمَعُ اَنْ یَّغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطٰیٰنَاۤ اَنْ كُنَّاۤ اَوَّلَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ

We really hope that our Lord will forgive us our faults, as we are the first of the believers.”
26:52

وَاَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلٰی مُوْسٰۤی اَنْ اَسْرِ بِعِبَادِیْۤ اِنَّكُمْ مُّتَّبَعُوْنَ

And We revealed to Mūsā saying, “Make My servants travel at night. You will be pursued.”
26:53

فَاَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِی الْمَدَآىِٕنِ حٰشِرِیْنَ

So Pharaoh sent into the cities (his) men to muster (people)
26:54

اِنَّ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِیْلُوْنَ

saying, “These are a small band,
26:55

وَاِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآىِٕظُوْنَ

and indeed they are enraging us,
26:56

وَاِنَّا لَجَمِیْعٌ حٰذِرُوْنَ

and we are a host, well-armed.”
26:57

فَاَخْرَجْنٰهُمْ مِّنْ جَنّٰتٍ وَّعُیُوْنٍ

Thus We expelled them (i.e. the people of Pharaoh) from gardens and springs,
26:58

وَّكُنُوْزٍ وَّمَقَامٍ كَرِیْمٍ

and from treasures and a noble abode.
26:59

كَذٰلِكَ ؕ وَاَوْرَثْنٰهَا بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ

Thus it was. And We made the children of Isrā’īl inherit all such things.
26:60

فَاَتْبَعُوْهُمْ مُّشْرِقِیْنَ

So they (the people of Pharaoh) pursued them (the people of Mūsā) at the time of sunrise.
26:61

فَلَمَّا تَرَآءَ الْجَمْعٰنِ قَالَ اَصْحٰبُ مُوْسٰۤی اِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُوْنَ

And when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Mūsā said, “Surely we are overtaken.”
26:62

قَالَ كَلَّا ۚ اِنَّ مَعِیَ رَبِّیْ سَیَهْدِیْنِ

He said, “Never! Indeed with me is my Lord. He will guide me.”
26:63

فَاَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلٰی مُوْسٰۤی اَنِ اضْرِبْ بِّعَصَاكَ الْبَحْرَ ؕ فَانْفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍ كَالطَّوْدِ الْعَظِیْمِ

So We revealed to Mūsā saying, “Strike the sea with your staff.” So it was severed apart, and each part became like a big mountain.
26:64

وَاَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ الْاٰخَرِیْنَ

Then We brought others close to that place.
26:65

وَاَنْجَیْنَا مُوْسٰی وَمَنْ مَّعَهٗۤ اَجْمَعِیْنَ

And We saved Mūsā and all those with him.
26:66

ثُمَّ اَغْرَقْنَا الْاٰخَرِیْنَ

Then we drowned the others.
26:67

اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیَةً ؕ وَمَا كَانَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ

Surely, in this there is a sign, but most of them are not believers,
26:68

وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِیْزُ الرَّحِیْمُ

and indeed your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
26:69

وَاتْلُ عَلَیْهِمْ نَبَاَ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ

And recite before them the narrative of Ibrāhīm,
26:70

اِذْ قَالَ لِاَبِیْهِ وَقَوْمِهٖ مَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ

when he said to his father and to his people, “What do you worship?”
26:71

قَالُوْا نَعْبُدُ اَصْنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عٰكِفِیْنَ

They said, “We worship idols, and stay devoted to them.”
26:72

قَالَ هَلْ یَسْمَعُوْنَكُمْ اِذْ تَدْعُوْنَ

He said, “Do they listen to you when you call (them)
26:73

اَوْ یَنْفَعُوْنَكُمْ اَوْ یَضُرُّوْنَ

or do they bring benefit to you or harm?”
26:74

قَالُوْا بَلْ وَجَدْنَاۤ اٰبَآءَنَا كَذٰلِكَ یَفْعَلُوْنَ

They said, “No, but we have found our fathers doing like this.”
26:75

قَالَ اَفَرَءَیْتُمْ مَّا كُنْتُمْ تَعْبُدُوْنَ

He said, “Have you then ever considered what you have been worshipping,
26:76

اَنْتُمْ وَاٰبَآؤُكُمُ الْاَقْدَمُوْنَ

you and your ancient fathers,
26:77

فَاِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّ لِّیْۤ اِلَّا رَبَّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ

they all are an enemy to me, except the Lord of the worlds,
26:78

الَّذِیْ خَلَقَنِیْ فَهُوَ یَهْدِیْنِ

who created me, and who guides me,
26:79

وَالَّذِیْ هُوَ یُطْعِمُنِیْ وَیَسْقِیْنِ

and Who feeds me and gives me drink,
26:80

وَاِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ یَشْفِیْنِ

and when I become sick, He heals me,
26:81

وَالَّذِیْ یُمِیْتُنِیْ ثُمَّ یُحْیِیْنِ

and who will make me die, then will give me life,
26:82

وَالَّذِیْۤ اَطْمَعُ اَنْ یَّغْفِرَ لِیْ خَطِیْٓـَٔتِیْ یَوْمَ الدِّیْنِ

and who, I hope, will forgive my fault on the Day of Retribution.
26:83

رَبِّ هَبْ لِیْ حُكْمًا وَّاَلْحِقْنِیْ بِالصّٰلِحِیْنَ

O my Lord, give me wisdom, and make me join the righteous,
26:84

وَاجْعَلْ لِّیْ لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِی الْاٰخِرِیْنَ

and destine for me a truthful description among the next generations,
26:85

وَاجْعَلْنِیْ مِنْ وَّرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ النَّعِیْمِ

and make me among those who will inherit the Garden of Bliss,
26:86

وَاغْفِرْ لِاَبِیْۤ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ مِنَ الضَّآلِّیْنَ

and forgive my father. Indeed he was one of those who went astray,
26:87

وَلَا تُخْزِنِیْ یَوْمَ یُبْعَثُوْنَ

and do not put me to disgrace on the Day when all will be raised to life,
26:88

یَوْمَ لَا یَنْفَعُ مَالٌ وَّلَا بَنُوْنَ

the Day when neither wealth will be of any use (to any one) nor sons,
26:89

اِلَّا مَنْ اَتَی اللّٰهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِیْمٍ

except to him who will come to Allah with a sound heart,
26:90

وَاُزْلِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِیْنَ

and the Paradise will be brought near to the God-fearing
26:91

وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِیْمُ لِلْغٰوِیْنَ

and the Hell will be fully uncovered for the perverse,
26:92

وَقِیْلَ لَهُمْ اَیْنَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْبُدُوْنَ

and it will be said to them, ‘Where is that which you used to worship
26:93

مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ ؕ هَلْ یَنْصُرُوْنَكُمْ اَوْ یَنْتَصِرُوْنَ

beside Allah? Can they help you or help themselves?’
26:94

فَكُبْكِبُوْا فِیْهَا هُمْ وَالْغَاوٗنَ

So they (their false gods) will be thrown on their faces into it - they and the erring people
26:95

وَجُنُوْدُ اِبْلِیْسَ اَجْمَعُوْنَ

and the entire army of Iblīs (Satan), all together.
26:96

قَالُوْا وَهُمْ فِیْهَا یَخْتَصِمُوْنَ

They will say when they will be quarreling there with each other,
26:97

تَاللّٰهِ اِنْ كُنَّا لَفِیْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِیْنٍ

‘By Allah, we were in open error
26:98

اِذْ نُسَوِّیْكُمْ بِرَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ

when we used to equate you with the Lord of the worlds,
26:99

وَمَاۤ اَضَلَّنَاۤ اِلَّا الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ

and it is only the sinners who misguided us.
26:100

فَمَا لَنَا مِنْ شَافِعِیْنَ

Now we have neither any intercessors
26:101

وَلَا صَدِیْقٍ حَمِیْمٍ

nor any true friend.
26:102

فَلَوْ اَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ

Would that we have a chance to return whereby we may join the believers!’”
26:103

اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیَةً ؕ وَمَا كَانَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ

Surely, in this there is a sign, but most of them are not believers,
26:104

وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِیْزُ الرَّحِیْمُ

and indeed your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
26:105

كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوْحِ لْمُرْسَلِیْنَ

The people of NūH rejected the messengers
26:106

اِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ اَخُوْهُمْ نُوْحٌ اَلَا تَتَّقُوْنَ

when their brother NūH said to them, “Do you not fear Allah?
26:107

اِنِّیْ لَكُمْ رَسُوْلٌ اَمِیْنٌ

I am an honest messenger for you.
26:108

فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِیْعُوْنِ

So, fear Allah and obey me.
26:109

وَمَاۤ اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَیْهِ مِنْ اَجْرٍ ۚ اِنْ اَجْرِیَ اِلَّا عَلٰی رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ

I do not claim from you any reward for it. My reward is with none but with the Lord of the worlds;
26:110

فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِیْعُوْنِ

so, fear Allah and obey me.”
26:111

قَالُوْۤا اَنُؤْمِنُ لَكَ وَاتَّبَعَكَ الْاَرْذَلُوْنَ

They said, “Shall we believe in you while you are followed by the lowest people?”
26:112

قَالَ وَمَا عِلْمِیْ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ

He said, “I do not know about what they do;
26:113

اِنْ حِسَابُهُمْ اِلَّا عَلٰی رَبِّیْ لَوْ تَشْعُرُوْنَ

their account is with none but with my Lord, if you have sense.
26:114

وَمَاۤ اَنَا بِطَارِدِ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ

And I am not the one who would drive the believers away;
26:115

اِنْ اَنَا اِلَّا نَذِیْرٌ مُّبِیْنٌ

I am no more than a plain warner.”
26:116

قَالُوْا لَىِٕنْ لَّمْ تَنْتَهِ یٰنُوْحُ لَتَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ الْمَرْجُوْمِیْنَ

They said, “Should you not stop, O NūH, you will surely be stoned.”
26:117

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنَّ قَوْمِیْ كَذَّبُوْنِ

He said, “My Lord, my people have rejected me.
26:118

فَافْتَحْ بَیْنِیْ وَبَیْنَهُمْ فَتْحًا وَّنَجِّنِیْ وَمَنْ مَّعِیَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ

So judge between me and them with an open verdict, and save me and all the believers who are with me.”
26:119

فَاَنْجَیْنٰهُ وَمَنْ مَّعَهٗ فِی الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُوْنِ

So We saved him and those with him in the Ark that was fully occupied.
26:120

ثُمَّ اَغْرَقْنَا بَعْدُ الْبٰقِیْنَ

Then We drowned, after that, all the remaining.
26:121

اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیَةً ؕ وَمَا كَانَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ

Surely, in this there is a sign, but most of them are not believers
26:122

وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِیْزُ الرَّحِیْمُ

and indeed your Lord is the Mighty, the Very-Merciful.
26:123

كَذَّبَتْ عَادُ لْمُرْسَلِیْنَ

The (people of) ‘Ād rejected the messengers
26:124

اِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ اَخُوْهُمْ هُوْدٌ اَلَا تَتَّقُوْنَ

when their brother Hūd said to them, “Do you not fear Allah?
26:125

اِنِّیْ لَكُمْ رَسُوْلٌ اَمِیْنٌ

I am an honest messenger for you,
26:126

فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِیْعُوْنِ

so fear Allah and obey me.
26:127

وَمَاۤ اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَیْهِ مِنْ اَجْرٍ ۚ اِنْ اَجْرِیَ اِلَّا عَلٰی رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ

I do not claim from you any reward for it. My reward is with none but with the Lord of the worlds.
26:128

اَتَبْنُوْنَ بِكُلِّ رِیْعٍ اٰیَةً تَعْبَثُوْنَ

Do you erect on every height a monument, having no sound purpose,
26:129

وَتَتَّخِذُوْنَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَخْلُدُوْنَ

and take the objects of architecture as if you are going to live forever,
26:130

وَاِذَا بَطَشْتُمْ بَطَشْتُمْ جَبَّارِیْنَ

and when you seize (someone) you seize as tyrants?
26:131

فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِیْعُوْنِ

So fear Allah and obey me.
26:132

وَاتَّقُوا الَّذِیْۤ اَمَدَّكُمْ بِمَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ

And fear the One who has supported you with what you know.
26:133

اَمَدَّكُمْ بِاَنْعَامٍ وَّبَنِیْنَ

He has supported you with cattle and sons,
26:134

وَجَنّٰتٍ وَّعُیُوْنٍ

and with gardens and springs.
26:135

اِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ عَلَیْكُمْ عَذَابَ یَوْمٍ عَظِیْمٍ

In fact I fear for you the punishment of a horrible day.”
26:136

قَالُوْا سَوَآءٌ عَلَیْنَاۤ اَوَعَظْتَ اَمْ لَمْ تَكُنْ مِّنَ الْوٰعِظِیْنَ

They said, “It is all equal for us, whether you give us advice or you do not become one of the advisors.
26:137

اِنْ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا خُلُقُ الْاَوَّلِیْنَ

This is nothing but the practice of the ancient,
26:138

وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِیْنَ

and we are not going to be punished.”
26:139

فَكَذَّبُوْهُ فَاَهْلَكْنٰهُمْ ؕ اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیَةً ؕ وَمَا كَانَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ

Thus they rejected him, so We destroyed them. Surely, in this there is a sign, but most of them are not believers,
26:140

وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِیْزُ الرَّحِیْمُ

and indeed your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
26:141

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُوْدُ الْمُرْسَلِیْنَ

The (people of) Thamūd rejected the messengers
26:142

اِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ اَخُوْهُمْ صٰلِحٌ اَلَا تَتَّقُوْنَ

when their brother SāliH said to them, “Do you not fear Allah?
26:143

اِنِّیْ لَكُمْ رَسُوْلٌ اَمِیْنٌ

I am an honest messenger for you.
26:144

فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِیْعُوْنِ

So, fear Allah and obey me.
26:145

وَمَاۤ اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَیْهِ مِنْ اَجْرٍ ۚ اِنْ اَجْرِیَ اِلَّا عَلٰی رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ

I do not claim from you any reward for it. My reward is with none but with the Lord of the worlds.
26:146

اَتُتْرَكُوْنَ فِیْ مَا هٰهُنَاۤ اٰمِنِیْنَ

Will you be left secure in whatever is here,
26:147

فِیْ جَنّٰتٍ وَّعُیُوْنٍ

in gardens and springs,
26:148

وَّزُرُوْعٍ وَّنَخْلٍ طَلْعُهَا هَضِیْمٌ

and in farms and date-palms, the spathes of which are interwoven?
26:149

وَتَنْحِتُوْنَ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُیُوْتًا فٰرِهِیْنَ

You hew out houses from the hills with pride.
26:150

فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِیْعُوْنِ

So fear Allah and obey me,
26:151

وَلَا تُطِیْعُوْۤا اَمْرَ الْمُسْرِفِیْنَ

and do not obey the order of the transgressors
26:152

الَّذِیْنَ یُفْسِدُوْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِ وَلَا یُصْلِحُوْنَ

who make mischief on the land and who do not set things right”.
26:153

قَالُوْۤا اِنَّمَاۤ اَنْتَ مِنَ الْمُسَحَّرِیْنَ

They said, “You are merely one of those bewitched.
26:154

مَاۤ اَنْتَ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا ۖۚ فَاْتِ بِاٰیَةٍ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ

You are nothing but a human like us. So, bring a sign if you are one of the truthful.”
26:155

قَالَ هٰذِهٖ نَاقَةٌ لَّهَا شِرْبٌ وَّلَكُمْ شِرْبُ یَوْمٍ مَّعْلُوْمٍ

He said, “This is a she-camel. She has a share of water, and you have a share of water on a specified day.
26:156

وَلَا تَمَسُّوْهَا بِسُوْٓءٍ فَیَاْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابُ یَوْمٍ عَظِیْمٍ

So do not touch her with evil (intent), lest you should be seized by a painful punishment.”
26:157

فَعَقَرُوْهَا فَاَصْبَحُوْا نٰدِمِیْنَ

But they killed her, then they became remorseful,
26:158

فَاَخَذَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ ؕ اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیَةً ؕ وَمَا كَانَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ

and the punishment seized them. Surely, in this there is a sign, but most of them are not believers,
26:159

وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِیْزُ الرَّحِیْمُ

and indeed your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
26:160

كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوْطِ لْمُرْسَلِیْنَ

The people of LūT rejected the messengers
26:161

اِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ اَخُوْهُمْ لُوْطٌ اَلَا تَتَّقُوْنَ

when their brother LūT said to them, “Do you not fear Allah?
26:162

اِنِّیْ لَكُمْ رَسُوْلٌ اَمِیْنٌ

I am an honest messenger for you.
26:163

فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِیْعُوْنِ

So fear Allah and obey me.
26:164

وَمَاۤ اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَیْهِ مِنْ اَجْرٍ ۚ اِنْ اَجْرِیَ اِلَّا عَلٰی رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ

I do not claim from you any reward for it. My reward is with none but with the Lord of the worlds.
26:165

اَتَاْتُوْنَ الذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ

Do you go to the males (for having sex) out of the whole universe,
26:166

وَتَذَرُوْنَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ مِّنْ اَزْوَاجِكُمْ ؕ بَلْ اَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ عٰدُوْنَ

and leave your wives whom your Lord has created for you? Indeed you are a people who cross (all) limits.”
26:167

قَالُوْا لَىِٕنْ لَّمْ تَنْتَهِ یٰلُوْطُ لَتَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ الْمُخْرَجِیْنَ

They said, “If you do not stop O LūT, you shall be included among the outcast.”
26:168

قَالَ اِنِّیْ لِعَمَلِكُمْ مِّنَ الْقَالِیْنَ

He said “Indeed, I am annoyed with your act.
26:169

رَبِّ نَجِّنِیْ وَاَهْلِیْ مِمَّا یَعْمَلُوْنَ

My Lord, save me and my family from what they do.”
26:170

فَنَجَّیْنٰهُ وَاَهْلَهٗۤ اَجْمَعِیْنَ

So We saved him and his family, all of them
26:171

اِلَّا عَجُوْزًا فِی الْغٰبِرِیْنَ

except an old woman among those who remained behind.
26:172

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا الْاٰخَرِیْنَ

Then We destroyed the others,
26:173

وَاَمْطَرْنَا عَلَیْهِمْ مَّطَرًا ۚ فَسَآءَ مَطَرُ الْمُنْذَرِیْنَ

and subjected them to a terrible rain. So evil was the rain of those who were warned.
26:174

اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیَةً ؕ وَمَا كَانَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ

Surely, in this there is a sign, but most of them are not believers,
26:175

وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِیْزُ الرَّحِیْمُ

and indeed your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
26:176

كَذَّبَ اَصْحٰبُ لْـَٔیْكَةِ الْمُرْسَلِیْنَ

The people of Aaikah rejected the messengers
26:177

اِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ شُعَیْبٌ اَلَا تَتَّقُوْنَ

when Shu‘aib said to them, “Do you not fear Allah?
26:178

اِنِّیْ لَكُمْ رَسُوْلٌ اَمِیْنٌ

I am an honest messenger for you.
26:179

فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِیْعُوْنِ

So fear Allah and obey me.
26:180

وَمَاۤ اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَیْهِ مِنْ اَجْرٍ ۚ اِنْ اَجْرِیَ اِلَّا عَلٰی رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ

And I do not claim from you any reward for it; my reward is with none but with the Lord of the worlds.
26:181

اَوْفُوا الْكَیْلَ وَلَا تَكُوْنُوْا مِنَ الْمُخْسِرِیْنَ

Give full measure, and do not be among those who bring loss to others.
26:182

وَزِنُوْا بِالْقِسْطَاسِ الْمُسْتَقِیْمِ

Weigh with an even balance,
26:183

وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ اَشْیَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ مُفْسِدِیْنَ

and do not make people short of their things, and do not spread disorder in the land as mischief-makers,
26:184

وَاتَّقُوا الَّذِیْ خَلَقَكُمْ وَالْجِبِلَّةَ الْاَوَّلِیْنَ

and be fearful of the One who created you and the former generations.”
26:185

قَالُوْۤا اِنَّمَاۤ اَنْتَ مِنَ الْمُسَحَّرِیْنَ

They said, “You are but one of the bewitched men.
26:186

وَمَاۤ اَنْتَ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا وَاِنْ نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ الْكٰذِبِیْنَ

You are no more than a human like us, and in fact we consider you to be one of the liars.
26:187

فَاَسْقِطْ عَلَیْنَا كِسَفًا مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ

So cause a piece from the sky to fall down upon us, if you are one of the truthful.”
26:188

قَالَ رَبِّیْۤ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ

He said, “My Lord knows well what you do.”
26:189

فَكَذَّبُوْهُ فَاَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ یَوْمِ الظُّلَّةِ ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ عَذَابَ یَوْمٍ عَظِیْمٍ

Thus they rejected him, so they were seized by the torment of the Day of Canopy. Indeed it was the punishment of a terrible day.
26:190

اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیَةً ؕ وَمَا كَانَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ

Surely, in this there is a sign, but most of them are not believers,
26:191

وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِیْزُ الرَّحِیْمُ

and indeed your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
26:192

وَاِنَّهٗ لَتَنْزِیْلُ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ

This (Qur’ān) is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds.
26:193

نَزَلَ بِهِ الرُّوْحُ الْاَمِیْنُ

The Trusted Spirit has brought it down
26:194

عَلٰی قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُنْذِرِیْنَ

upon your heart, so that you become one of the warners
26:195

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِیٍّ مُّبِیْنٍ

in plain Arabic language.
26:196

وَاِنَّهٗ لَفِیْ زُبُرِ الْاَوَّلِیْنَ

And of course, it is (mentioned) in the Scriptures of the former people.
26:197

اَوَلَمْ یَكُنْ لَّهُمْ اٰیَةً اَنْ یَّعْلَمَهٗ عُلَمٰٓؤُا بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ

Is it not a proof for them that the knowledgeable of the children of Isrā’īl recognize him (the prophet)?
26:198

وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنٰهُ عَلٰی بَعْضِ الْاَعْجَمِیْنَ

Even if We had revealed it to a Non-Arab,
26:199

فَقَرَاَهٗ عَلَیْهِمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ مُؤْمِنِیْنَ

and he had recited it to them, they would not have believed in it.
26:200

كَذٰلِكَ سَلَكْنٰهُ فِیْ قُلُوْبِ الْمُجْرِمِیْنَ

This is how We have made it pass through the hearts of the sinners.
26:201

لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِهٖ حَتّٰی یَرَوُا الْعَذَابَ الْاَلِیْمَ

They will not believe in it until they will see the painful punishment
26:202

فَیَاْتِیَهُمْ بَغْتَةً وَّهُمْ لَا یَشْعُرُوْنَ

and it will come to them suddenly while they will not be anticipating (it),
26:203

فَیَقُوْلُوْا هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنْظَرُوْنَ

and (then) they will say, “Is it (possible) that we are given some respite?”
26:204

اَفَبِعَذَابِنَا یَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَ

Is it then Our punishment that they are trying to hasten up?
26:205

اَفَرَءَیْتَ اِنْ مَّتَّعْنٰهُمْ سِنِیْنَ

So tell me, if We give them enjoyment for years,
26:206

ثُمَّ جَآءَهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا یُوْعَدُوْنَ

then comes to them what they are warned of,
26:207

مَاۤ اَغْنٰی عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا یُمَتَّعُوْنَ

what help can they receive from the comforts they were given to enjoy?
26:208

وَمَاۤ اَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَرْیَةٍ اِلَّا لَهَا مُنْذِرُوْنَ

We did not destroy any town unless it has had warners
26:209

ذِكْرٰی ۛ۫ وَمَا كُنَّا ظٰلِمِیْنَ

to give advice, and We have never been unjust.
26:210

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ الشَّیٰطِیْنُ

And this (Qur’ān) is not brought down by devils.
26:211

وَمَا یَنْۢبَغِیْ لَهُمْ وَمَا یَسْتَطِیْعُوْنَ

It neither suits them, nor are they able to (do this).
26:212

اِنَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُوْلُوْنَ

In fact, they are kept far away from hearing (it at the time of revelation).
26:213

فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهًا اٰخَرَ فَتَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُعَذَّبِیْنَ

So do not invoke any other god along with Allah, otherwise you will be among those who are to be punished.
26:214

وَاَنْذِرْ عَشِیْرَتَكَ الْاَقْرَبِیْنَ

And warn the nearest people of your clan,
26:215

وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ

and be kind with humbleness to the believers who followed you.
26:216

فَاِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ اِنِّیْ بَرِیْٓءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَ

So if they disobey you, then say, “I disown what you do,”
26:217

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَی الْعَزِیْزِ الرَّحِیْمِ

and place your trust in the Mighty, the Merciful,
26:218

الَّذِیْ یَرٰىكَ حِیْنَ تَقُوْمُ

Who sees you when you stand (in prayer,)
26:219

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِی السّٰجِدِیْنَ

and (sees) your movement among those who prostrate themselves.
26:220

اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِیْعُ الْعَلِیْمُ

Surely, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
26:221

هَلْ اُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلٰی مَنْ تَنَزَّلُ الشَّیٰطِیْنُ

Shall I tell you on whom the devils descend?
26:222

تَنَزَّلُ عَلٰی كُلِّ اَفَّاكٍ اَثِیْمٍ

They descend on every sinful liar.
26:223

یُّلْقُوْنَ السَّمْعَ وَاَكْثَرُهُمْ كٰذِبُوْنَ

They give ear to hear (secretly,) and most of them tell lies.
26:224

وَالشُّعَرَآءُ یَتَّبِعُهُمُ الْغَاوٗنَ

As for the poets, they are followed by the straying people.
26:225

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّهُمْ فِیْ كُلِّ وَادٍ یَّهِیْمُوْنَ

Did you not see that they wander in every valley,
26:226

وَاَنَّهُمْ یَقُوْلُوْنَ مَا لَا یَفْعَلُوْنَ

and that they say what they do not?
26:227

اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا اللّٰهَ كَثِیْرًا وَّانْتَصَرُوْا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوْا ؕ وَسَیَعْلَمُ الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْۤا اَیَّ مُنْقَلَبٍ یَّنْقَلِبُوْنَ

Except those who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allah very much, and defend themselves after they are wronged. And the wrongdoers will soon know to which place they are going to return.

27. An-Naml

27:1

طٰسٓ ۫ تِلْكَ اٰیٰتُ الْقُرْاٰنِ وَكِتَابٍ مُّبِیْنٍ

Tā Sīn . These are the verses of the Qur’ān and an enlightening book,
27:2

هُدًی وَّبُشْرٰی لِلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ

a guidance and good news to the believers
27:3

الَّذِیْنَ یُقِیْمُوْنَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَیُؤْتُوْنَ الزَّكٰوةَ وَهُمْ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ هُمْ یُوْقِنُوْنَ

who establish Salāh and pay Zakāh and who have faith in the Hereafter.
27:4

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ زَیَّنَّا لَهُمْ اَعْمَالَهُمْ فَهُمْ یَعْمَهُوْنَ

As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We have made their deeds look beautiful to them. So they are wandering astray.
27:5

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ لَهُمْ سُوْٓءُ الْعَذَابِ وَهُمْ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ هُمُ الْاَخْسَرُوْنَ

Those are the people who deserve the worst punishment and who are the worst losers in the Hereafter.
27:6

وَاِنَّكَ لَتُلَقَّی الْقُرْاٰنَ مِنْ لَّدُنْ حَكِیْمٍ عَلِیْمٍ

Indeed you are being given the Qur’ān by a Wise, Knowledgeable Being.
27:7

اِذْ قَالَ مُوْسٰی لِاَهْلِهٖۤ اِنِّیْۤ اٰنَسْتُ نَارًا ؕ سَاٰتِیْكُمْ مِّنْهَا بِخَبَرٍ اَوْ اٰتِیْكُمْ بِشِهَابٍ قَبَسٍ لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَصْطَلُوْنَ

(Remember) when Mūsā said to his family, “I have noticed a fire. I shall bring to you some news from it, or bring to you a live ember, so that you may warm yourselves.”
27:8

فَلَمَّا جَآءَهَا نُوْدِیَ اَنْ بُوْرِكَ مَنْ فِی النَّارِ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَا ؕ وَسُبْحٰنَ اللّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ

So when he came to it, he was called: “Blessed is the one who is in the fire and the one who is around it. And pure is Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
27:9

یٰمُوْسٰۤی اِنَّهٗۤ اَنَا اللّٰهُ الْعَزِیْزُ الْحَكِیْمُ

O Mūsā, the fact is that I AM ALLAH, the Mighty, the Wise.
27:10

وَاَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ؕ فَلَمَّا رَاٰهَا تَهْتَزُّ كَاَنَّهَا جَآنٌّ وَّلّٰی مُدْبِرًا وَّلَمْ یُعَقِّبْ ؕ یٰمُوْسٰی لَا تَخَفْ ۫ اِنِّیْ لَا یَخَافُ لَدَیَّ الْمُرْسَلُوْنَ

And cast your staff down.” So when he saw it moving, as if it was a snake, he retreated turning his back, and did not look behind. “O Mūsā, be not scared. I am such that the messengers are not scared before Me,
27:11

اِلَّا مَنْ ظَلَمَ ثُمَّ بَدَّلَ حُسْنًا بَعْدَ سُوْٓءٍ فَاِنِّیْ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ

except him who did wrong, then after (having done) evil, replaced (it) with good, then I am Most-Forgiving, Very-Merciful.
27:12

وَاَدْخِلْ یَدَكَ فِیْ جَیْبِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَیْضَآءَ مِنْ غَیْرِ سُوْٓءٍ ۫ فِیْ تِسْعِ اٰیٰتٍ اِلٰی فِرْعَوْنَ وَقَوْمِهٖ ؕ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا قَوْمًا فٰسِقِیْنَ

And put your hand into your bosom, and it will come out white, without any evil, as one of the nine signs (sent) to Pharaoh and his people. Surely they have been a sinful people.
27:13

فَلَمَّا جَآءَتْهُمْ اٰیٰتُنَا مُبْصِرَةً قَالُوْا هٰذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِیْنٌ

So when Our signs came to them as eye-openers, they said, “This is a clear magic.”
27:14

وَجَحَدُوْا بِهَا وَاسْتَیْقَنَتْهَاۤ اَنْفُسُهُمْ ظُلْمًا وَّعُلُوًّا ؕ فَانْظُرْ كَیْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُفْسِدِیْنَ

And they denied them out of sheer injustice and arrogance, though their hearts believed them (to be true). See, then, how was the fate of the mischief-makers.
27:15

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَیْنَا دَاوٗدَ وَسُلَیْمٰنَ عِلْمًا ۚ وَقَالَا الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِیْ فَضَّلَنَا عَلٰی كَثِیْرٍ مِّنْ عِبَادِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ

Surely We gave knowledge to Dāwūd and Sulaimān, and they said, “Praise belongs to Allah who made us excel many of His believing servants.
27:16

وَوَرِثَ سُلَیْمٰنُ دَاوٗدَ وَقَالَ یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّاسُ عُلِّمْنَا مَنْطِقَ الطَّیْرِ وَاُوْتِیْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَیْءٍ ؕ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَهُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْمُبِیْنُ

And Sulaimān inherited (the traits of) Dāwūd and said, “O people we have been taught the speech of birds, and all sorts of things are given to us. Indeed, this is the evident grace (of Allah).”
27:17

وَحُشِرَ لِسُلَیْمٰنَ جُنُوْدُهٗ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْاِنْسِ وَالطَّیْرِ فَهُمْ یُوْزَعُوْنَ

And mustered for Sulaimān were his forces from among the Jinns and the humans and the birds. So all of them were kept under (his) control,
27:18

حَتّٰۤی اِذَاۤ اَتَوْا عَلٰی وَادِ النَّمْلِ ۙ قَالَتْ نَمْلَةٌ یّٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّمْلُ ادْخُلُوْا مَسٰكِنَكُمْ ۚ لَا یَحْطِمَنَّكُمْ سُلَیْمٰنُ وَجُنُوْدُهٗ ۙ وَهُمْ لَا یَشْعُرُوْنَ

until when they reached the valley of the ants, one of the ants said, “O ants, enter your dwelling places, lest Sulaimān and his armies crush you unknowingly.”
27:19

فَتَبَسَّمَ ضَاحِكًا مِّنْ قَوْلِهَا وَقَالَ رَبِّ اَوْزِعْنِیْۤ اَنْ اَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِیْۤ اَنْعَمْتَ عَلَیَّ وَعَلٰی وَالِدَیَّ وَاَنْ اَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضٰىهُ وَاَدْخِلْنِیْ بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِیْ عِبَادِكَ الصّٰلِحِیْنَ

So he (Sulaimān) smiled, laughing on her speech and said, “My Lord, enable me to become grateful to Your favor that you have bestowed on me and on my parents, and to do good deeds that You like, and admit me, with Your mercy, among Your righteous servants.”
27:20

وَتَفَقَّدَ الطَّیْرَ فَقَالَ مَا لِیَ لَاۤ اَرَی الْهُدْهُدَ ۖؗ اَمْ كَانَ مِنَ الْغَآىِٕبِیْنَ

And (once) he (Sulaimān) checked the birds and said, “How is it with me that I do not see the hudhud (hoopoe)? Rather he has disappeared.
27:21

لَاُعَذِّبَنَّهٗ عَذَابًا شَدِیْدًا اَوْ لَاَاذْبَحَنَّهٗۤ اَوْ لَیَاْتِیَنِّیْ بِسُلْطٰنٍ مُّبِیْنٍ

I will punish him with a severe punishment or slaughter him unless he brings to me a clear plea.”
27:22

فَمَكَثَ غَیْرَ بَعِیْدٍ فَقَالَ اَحَطْتُّ بِمَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهٖ وَجِئْتُكَ مِنْ سَبَاٍۭ بِنَبَاٍ یَّقِیْنٍ

Then the hoopoe did not take long and said (to Sulaimān), “I have discovered what you did not, and have brought to you a sure information from Saba’ (Sheba).
27:23

اِنِّیْ وَجَدْتُّ امْرَاَةً تَمْلِكُهُمْ وَاُوْتِیَتْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَیْءٍ وَّلَهَا عَرْشٌ عَظِیْمٌ

I have found a woman ruling over them, and all sorts of things are given to her, and she has a great throne.
27:24

وَجَدْتُّهَا وَقَوْمَهَا یَسْجُدُوْنَ لِلشَّمْسِ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَزَیَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّیْطٰنُ اَعْمَالَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِیْلِ فَهُمْ لَا یَهْتَدُوْنَ

I have found her and her people prostrating themselves to the sun, instead of Allah, and the Satan has beautified their deeds for them, and has prevented them from the way, so they do not take the right path,
27:25

اَلَّا یَسْجُدُوْا لِلّٰهِ الَّذِیْ یُخْرِجُ الْخَبْءَ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَیَعْلَمُ مَا تُخْفُوْنَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُوْنَ

that is, they do not prostrate to Allah who brings forth what is hidden in the heavens and the earth,-and who knows whatever you conceal and whatever you reveal.”
27:26

اَللّٰهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِیْمِ

Allah! There is no god but He, the Lord of the Great Throne.
27:27

قَالَ سَنَنْظُرُ اَصَدَقْتَ اَمْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الْكٰذِبِیْنَ

He (Sulaimān) said, “We shall see whether you have told the truth or you are one of the liars.
27:28

اِذْهَبْ بِّكِتٰبِیْ هٰذَا فَاَلْقِهْ اِلَیْهِمْ ثُمَّ تَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَانْظُرْ مَاذَا یَرْجِعُوْنَ

Go with this letter of mine, and deliver it down to them, then turn back from them, and see how they react.”
27:29

قَالَتْ یٰۤاَیُّهَا الْمَلَؤُا اِنِّیْۤ اُلْقِیَ اِلَیَّ كِتٰبٌ كَرِیْمٌ

She (the queen) said (to her officials after receiving the letter), “O chieftains, there has been delivered to me an esteemed letter.
27:30

اِنَّهٗ مِنْ سُلَیْمٰنَ وَاِنَّهٗ بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

It is from Sulaimān, and it is (in the following words :) With the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Very-Merciful.
27:31

اَلَّا تَعْلُوْا عَلَیَّ وَاْتُوْنِیْ مُسْلِمِیْنَ

Do not rebel against me, and come to me in submission.”
27:32

قَالَتْ یٰۤاَیُّهَا الْمَلَؤُا اَفْتُوْنِیْ فِیْۤ اَمْرِیْ ۚ مَا كُنْتُ قَاطِعَةً اَمْرًا حَتّٰی تَشْهَدُوْنِ

She said, “O chieftains, advise me in the matter I have (before me). I am not the one who decides a matter absolutely unless you are present with me.”
27:33

قَالُوْا نَحْنُ اُولُوْا قُوَّةٍ وَّاُولُوْا بَاْسٍ شَدِیْدٍ ۙ۬ وَّالْاَمْرُ اِلَیْكِ فَانْظُرِیْ مَاذَا تَاْمُرِیْنَ

They said, “We are powerful and tough fighters, and the decision lies with you; so consider what command you should give.”
27:34

قَالَتْ اِنَّ الْمُلُوْكَ اِذَا دَخَلُوْا قَرْیَةً اَفْسَدُوْهَا وَجَعَلُوْۤا اَعِزَّةَ اَهْلِهَاۤ اَذِلَّةً ۚ وَكَذٰلِكَ یَفْعَلُوْنَ

She said, “In fact when the kings enter a town, they put it to disorder, and put its honorable citizens to disgrace, and this is how they normally do.
27:35

وَاِنِّیْ مُرْسِلَةٌ اِلَیْهِمْ بِهَدِیَّةٍ فَنٰظِرَةٌ بِمَ یَرْجِعُ الْمُرْسَلُوْنَ

And I am going to send a gift to them, then see, what response the envoys will bring back.”
27:36

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ سُلَیْمٰنَ قَالَ اَتُمِدُّوْنَنِ بِمَالٍ ؗ فَمَاۤ اٰتٰىنِ اللّٰهُ خَیْرٌ مِّمَّاۤ اٰتٰىكُمْ ۚ بَلْ اَنْتُمْ بِهَدِیَّتِكُمْ تَفْرَحُوْنَ

So when he (the envoy) came to Sulaimān, he said, “Are you extending a financial aid to me? So what Allah has given me is much better than what He has given to you. But you yourselves are proud of your gift.
27:37

اِرْجِعْ اِلَیْهِمْ فَلَنَاْتِیَنَّهُمْ بِجُنُوْدٍ لَّا قِبَلَ لَهُمْ بِهَا وَلَنُخْرِجَنَّهُمْ مِّنْهَاۤ اَذِلَّةً وَّهُمْ صٰغِرُوْنَ

Go back to them, and we will bring to them forces they have no power to face, and we will certainly drive them out from there in humiliation while they are disgraced.”
27:38

قَالَ یٰۤاَیُّهَا الْمَلَؤُا اَیُّكُمْ یَاْتِیْنِیْ بِعَرْشِهَا قَبْلَ اَنْ یَّاْتُوْنِیْ مُسْلِمِیْنَ

He said, “O chieftains, which one of you will bring her throne to me before they come to me submissively?”
27:39

قَالَ عِفْرِیْتٌ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ اَنَا اٰتِیْكَ بِهٖ قَبْلَ اَنْ تَقُوْمَ مِنْ مَّقَامِكَ ۚ وَاِنِّیْ عَلَیْهِ لَقَوِیٌّ اَمِیْنٌ

A stalwart of the Jinn said, “I will bring it to you before you rise up from your place, and for this (task) I am powerful, reliable.”
27:40

قَالَ الَّذِیْ عِنْدَهٗ عِلْمٌ مِّنَ الْكِتٰبِ اَنَا اٰتِیْكَ بِهٖ قَبْلَ اَنْ یَّرْتَدَّ اِلَیْكَ طَرْفُكَ ؕ فَلَمَّا رَاٰهُ مُسْتَقِرًّا عِنْدَهٗ قَالَ هٰذَا مِنْ فَضْلِ رَبِّیْ ۖ۫ لِیَبْلُوَنِیْۤ ءَاَشْكُرُ اَمْ اَكْفُرُ ؕ وَمَنْ شَكَرَ فَاِنَّمَا یَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِهٖ ۚ وَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَاِنَّ رَبِّیْ غَنِیٌّ كَرِیْمٌ

Said the one who had the knowledge of the book, “I will bring it to you before your glance returns to you.” So when he saw it (the throne) well placed before him, he said, “This is by the grace of my Lord, so that He may test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful. Whoever is grateful is grateful for his own benefit, and whoever is ungrateful, then my Lord is Need-Free, Bountiful”.
27:41

قَالَ نَكِّرُوْا لَهَا عَرْشَهَا نَنْظُرْ اَتَهْتَدِیْۤ اَمْ تَكُوْنُ مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یَهْتَدُوْنَ

He said, “Disguise the throne for her, and we will see whether she discovers the truth, or she does not recognize it.”
27:42

فَلَمَّا جَآءَتْ قِیْلَ اَهٰكَذَا عَرْشُكِ ؕ قَالَتْ كَاَنَّهٗ هُوَ ۚ وَاُوْتِیْنَا الْعِلْمَ مِنْ قَبْلِهَا وَكُنَّا مُسْلِمِیْنَ

So when she came, it was said (to her), “Is your throne like this?” She said, “It seems to be the same. We have been made to recognize the truth even before this, and we have already submitted.”
27:43

وَصَدَّهَا مَا كَانَتْ تَّعْبُدُ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ ؕ اِنَّهَا كَانَتْ مِنْ قَوْمٍ كٰفِرِیْنَ

And she was prevented (from submitting before this) by that which she used to worship instead of Allah. Indeed she was from a disbelieving people.
27:44

قِیْلَ لَهَا ادْخُلِی الصَّرْحَ ۚ فَلَمَّا رَاَتْهُ حَسِبَتْهُ لُجَّةً وَّكَشَفَتْ عَنْ سَاقَیْهَا ؕ قَالَ اِنَّهٗ صَرْحٌ مُّمَرَّدٌ مِّنْ قَوَارِیْرَ ؕ۬ قَالَتْ رَبِّ اِنِّیْ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِیْ وَاَسْلَمْتُ مَعَ سُلَیْمٰنَ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ

It was said to her, “Enter the palace.” Then once she saw it, she thought it was flowing water, and uncovered her legs. He (Sulaimān) said, “This is a palace made of glasses.” She said, “My Lord, I had surely wronged myself, and now I submit, along with Sulaimān, to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.”
27:45

وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَاۤ اِلٰی ثَمُوْدَ اَخَاهُمْ صٰلِحًا اَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ فَاِذَا هُمْ فَرِیْقٰنِ یَخْتَصِمُوْنَ

And We sent to Thamūd their brother SāliH saying (to them), “Worship Allah”. Then suddenly they became two groups quarrelling with each other.
27:46

قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ لِمَ تَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَ بِالسَّیِّئَةِ قَبْلَ الْحَسَنَةِ ۚ لَوْلَا تَسْتَغْفِرُوْنَ اللّٰهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُوْنَ

He said, “My people, why do you seek evil to come sooner before good? Why do you not seek forgiveness from Allah, so that you are treated with mercy?”
27:47

قَالُوا اطَّیَّرْنَا بِكَ وَبِمَنْ مَّعَكَ ؕ قَالَ طٰٓىِٕرُكُمْ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ بَلْ اَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ تُفْتَنُوْنَ

They said, “We regard you and those with you as a sign of bad omen.” He said, “Your omen is with Allah, but you are a people put to a test.”
27:48

وَكَانَ فِی الْمَدِیْنَةِ تِسْعَةُ رَهْطٍ یُّفْسِدُوْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِ وَلَا یُصْلِحُوْنَ

And there were nine persons in the city who used to make mischief on the earth and did not put things right.
27:49

قَالُوْا تَقَاسَمُوْا بِاللّٰهِ لَنُبَیِّتَنَّهٗ وَاَهْلَهٗ ثُمَّ لَنَقُوْلَنَّ لِوَلِیِّهٖ مَا شَهِدْنَا مَهْلِكَ اَهْلِهٖ وَاِنَّا لَصٰدِقُوْنَ

They said, “Let us swear a mutual oath by Allah that we shall attack him (SāliH) and his family at night, then will say to his heir, ‘We did not witness the destruction of his family, and we are really truthful.’”
27:50

وَمَكَرُوْا مَكْرًا وَّمَكَرْنَا مَكْرًا وَّهُمْ لَا یَشْعُرُوْنَ

Thus they devised a plan, and We devised a plan, while they were not aware.
27:51

فَانْظُرْ كَیْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ مَكْرِهِمْ ۙ اَنَّا دَمَّرْنٰهُمْ وَقَوْمَهُمْ اَجْمَعِیْنَ

So, look how was the fate of their plan, that We annihilated them and their people altogether.
27:52

فَتِلْكَ بُیُوْتُهُمْ خَاوِیَةً بِمَا ظَلَمُوْا ؕ اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیَةً لِّقَوْمٍ یَّعْلَمُوْنَ

Now those are their houses, lying empty because of their transgression. Surely, in this there are signs for a people who have knowledge.
27:53

وَاَنْجَیْنَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَكَانُوْا یَتَّقُوْنَ

And We saved those who believed and who used to be God-fearing.
27:54

وَلُوْطًا اِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهٖۤ اَتَاْتُوْنَ الْفَاحِشَةَ وَاَنْتُمْ تُبْصِرُوْنَ

And (We sent) LūT when he said to his people, “Do you commit the shameful act while you can see (its shamefulness)?
27:55

اَىِٕنَّكُمْ لَتَاْتُوْنَ الرِّجَالَ شَهْوَةً مِّنْ دُوْنِ النِّسَآءِ ؕ بَلْ اَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْهَلُوْنَ

Is it that you really come to men lustfully instead of women? No, you are a people committing acts of ignorance.”
