بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

طسٓمٓ

Tua Sin M'im.

1

تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ

These are verses of the Glorious Book.

2

لَعَلَّكَ بَـٰخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ

O Muhammad, you will perhaps fret yourself to death with grief because they do not believe.

3

إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَـٰقُهُمْ لَهَا خَـٰضِعِينَ

If We wanted, We could send down upon them a sign from the heaven before which they would bend their necks in submission, but that is not what We want.

4

وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ

They have been turning their backs on each fresh warning that comes to them from the Compassionate (Allah).

5

فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنۢبَـٰٓؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

But now that they have neglected the warning, they will soon come to know the reality of what they have been mocking at.

6

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍ

Have they not looked at the earth to see how We have caused all kinds of noble pairs to grow in it?

7

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Surely in this there is a sign; yet most of them do not believe.

8

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

In fact your Rabb is the Mighty as well as the Merciful.

9

وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئْتِ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

Remind them of the story when your Rabb called Musa (Moses) and said: "Go to the wicked people

10

قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ

the people of Fir'on (Pharaoh). Have they no fear?"

11

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ

Musa submitted, saying: "My Rabb! I fear that they will reject me.

12

وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِى وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِى فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَـٰرُونَ

My breast feels cramped and my tongue is not eloquent; send Haroon (Aaron).

13

وَلَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنۢبٌ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ

They have a charge of manslaughter against me and I fear they may put me to death."

14

قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ فَٱذْهَبَا بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ ۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ

Allah said: "Indeed not! Proceed, both of you, with Our signs; surely We are with you, listening.

15

فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Go to Fir'on and tell him: "We are the Rasools from the Rabb of the Worlds.

16

أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

You should send with us the Children of Israel."

17

قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ

When they went to Fir'on and conveyed the Message of Allah, he said: "Did we not cherish you when you were a child? Did you not stay several years of your life among us?

18

وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِى فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ

Then you did what you did; you are so ungrateful!"

19

قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَآ إِذًا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

Musa replied: "I did that when I was a misguided youth.

20

فَفَرَرْتُ مِنكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِى رَبِّى حُكْمًا وَجَعَلَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

I fled from you all because I feared you; but now my Rabb has granted me wisdom and appointed me as one of His Rasools.

21

وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

Is it a favor with which you taunt me, that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?"

22

قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Fir'on said: "Who is this Rabb of the Worlds?"

23

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ

Musa replied: "He is the Rabb of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, if you really care to believe".

24

قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ

Fir'on said to those around him, "Do you hear that?"

25

قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

Musa continued: "He is your Rabb and the Rabb of your forefathers."

26

قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌ

Fir'on interjected: "This Rasool of yours, who has been sent to you, is crazy".

27

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

Musa continued:" He is the Rabb of the east and west, and all that lies between them. If you would only care and try to understand."

28

قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذْتَ إِلَـٰهًا غَيْرِى لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَسْجُونِينَ

At this, Fir'on, who did not want to listen any more said: "If you serve any other god besides me, I shall have you thrown into prison."

29

قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَىْءٍ مُّبِينٍ

At this, Musa said: "What if I show you a convincing sign?"

30

قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ

Fir'on said: "Go ahead, show it if you are of the truthful."

31

فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِينٌ

Hearing this, Musa threw down his staff, and thereupon it changed into veritable serpent.

32

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّـٰظِرِينَ

Then he drew forth his hand and it became shining bright for the spectators.

33

قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَسَـٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌ

After witnessing both the miracles, Fir'on (Pharaoh) said to the chiefs around him: "This fellow is certainly a skilled magician,

34

يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ

who seeks to drive you out from your land by the force of his magic. Now what is your advice?"

35

قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبْعَثْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَـٰشِرِينَ

They submitted: "Put him and his brother off for a while, and dispatch heralds to the various cities

36

يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍ

to bring you every skilled magician."

37

فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَـٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ

So the magicians were brought together at the appointment time on a fixed day.

38

وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ

The people were motivated through saying: "Would you come to the gathering?

39

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ

So that we may follow the magicians if they are dominant".

40

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ

When the magicians arrived, they asked Fir'on: "Shall we get a reward if we are dominant?"

41

قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ

Fir'on replied: "Yes of course! You will even be made my courtiers."

42

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ

Musa said to them: "Cast down what you are going to cast."

43

فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ

Thereupon they cast down their ropes and staffs, saying: "By the glory of Fir'on, we shall be the winners."

44

فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ

Then Musa threw down his staff, and lo! It swallowed their false devices.

45

فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَـٰجِدِينَ

At this, all the magicians prostrated themselves,

46

قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

saying: "We believe in the Rabb of the Worlds,

47

رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ

the Rabb of Musa (Moses) and Haroon (Aaron)."

48

قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَـٰفٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

Fir'on shouted: "How dare you believe in him before I give you permission? He must be your master who taught you the witchcraft. But soon you shall find out. I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides and crucify you all."

49

قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ

They replied: "We don't care! We are going to return to our Rabb anyway.

50

إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَـٰيَـٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

We only desire that our Rabb may forgive us our sins, as we are the first to believe."

51

وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

We revealed to Musa (Moses), saying: "Set off with my servants by night and beware that you will be pursued."

52

فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَـٰشِرِينَ

Fir'on (Pharaoh) sent heralds to all the cities,

53

إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ

and to mobilize his people he said: "These Israelites are but a handful of people,

54

وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ

who have provoked us much;

55

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَـٰذِرُونَ

while we have a large army, well prepared."

56

فَأَخْرَجْنَـٰهُم مِّن جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

Thus did We make them leave their gardens and their water springs,

57

وَكُنُوزٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ

their treasures and sumptuous dwellings.

58

كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَـٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

This is how they were made to lose, while on the other hand We made the Children of Israel inheritors of such things.

59

فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ

At sunrise the Egyptians pursued them.

60

فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَـٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ

When the two hosts came face to face, the companions of Musa cried out: "We are surely overtaken."

61

قَالَ كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ

Musa said: "Not at all! My Rabb is with me; He will show me a way out."

62

فَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْبَحْرَ ۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍ كَٱلطَّوْدِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

Then We revealed Our will to Musa: "Strike the sea with your staff," and the sea was cleft asunder, each part stood like a mighty mountain.

63

وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ

We made the other party (Fir'on and his army) follow them.

64

وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ

We delivered Musa and all who were with him;

65

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ

and drowned the others.

66

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Surely there is a lesson in this: yet most of these people do not learn this lesson to become believers.

67

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

The fact is that your Rabb is the Mighty as well as the Merciful.

68

وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ

Narrate to them the story of Ibrahim,

69

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ

when he asked his father and his people: "What is that which you worship?"

70

قَالُوا۟ نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَـٰكِفِينَ

They replied: "We worship idols, and sit beside them with all devotion."

71

قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ

Ibrahim asked: "Do they hear you when you call on them?

72

أَوْ يَنفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ

Can they help you or harm you?"

73

قَالُوا۟ بَلْ وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ

They replied: "No! But we found our forefathers doing so."

74

قَالَ أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ

Ibrahim said: "Have you ever seen with open eyes these which you have been worshipping

75

أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلْأَقْدَمُونَ

- you and your forefathers?

76

فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّ لِّىٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

They are all enemies to me; except the Rabb of the Worlds,

77

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَنِى فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ

Who created me, then He gave me guidance.

78

وَٱلَّذِى هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِى وَيَسْقِينِ

He is the One Who gives me food and drink,

79

وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ

Who gives me health when I get sick,

80

وَٱلَّذِى يُمِيتُنِى ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ

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

81

وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لِى خَطِيٓـَٔتِى يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ

Who, I hope, will forgive me my mistakes on the Day of Judgment."

82

رَبِّ هَبْ لِى حُكْمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِى بِٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ

After this, Ibrahim prayed: "O my Rabb! Bestow wisdom upon me and admit me among the righteous,

83

وَٱجْعَل لِّى لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

grant me a reputation of truthfulness on the tongue of later generations,

84

وَٱجْعَلْنِى مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

count me among the inheritors of the paradise of Bliss;

85

وَٱغْفِرْ لِأَبِىٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

forgive my father, for he is from among those who have gone astray,

86

وَلَا تُخْزِنِى يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ

do not hold me up in shame on the Day when everybody will be raised back to life

87

يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌ وَلَا بَنُونَ

- the Day when neither wealth nor sons will avail anyone,

88

إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ

and when none shall be saved except him who will come before Allah with a pure heart,

89

وَأُزْلِفَتِ ٱلْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

when paradise shall be brought in the sight of the righteous;

90

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَ

while hell shall be spread open to the straying

91

وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ

and they will be asked: "Now, where are those whom you worshipped

92

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلْ يَنصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنتَصِرُونَ

besides Allah? Can they help you or even help themselves?"

93

فَكُبْكِبُوا۟ فِيهَا هُمْ وَٱلْغَاوُۥنَ

Then they will be toppled into it, both they and those who misled them,

94

وَجُنُودُ إِبْلِيسَ أَجْمَعُونَ

together with all the armies of Iblees.

95

قَالُوا۟ وَهُمْ فِيهَا يَخْتَصِمُونَ

Wherein they will argue with one another

96

تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ

saying: " By Allah, we were indeed in manifest error,

97

إِذْ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

when we made you equals with the Rabb of the Worlds.

98

وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ

It was the criminals who led us astray.

99

فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَـٰفِعِينَ

Now we have no intercessors,

100

وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍ

and no loving friends.

101

فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

If we could but once return to our worldly life, we would be of the true believers."

102

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Surely in this narration there is a great lesson, but most of these people do not learn a lesson to become believers.

103

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

The fact is that your Rabb is the Mighty as well as the Merciful.

104

كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

The people of Nuh, also, rejected the Rasools.

105

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

Remember when their brother Nuh asked them: "Have you no fear of Allah?

106

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

Rest assured that I am a trustworthy Rasool of Allah towards you,

107

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

so fear Allah and obey me.

108

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

I do not ask you any reward for my services, for my reward will be given by the Rabb of the Worlds,

109

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

so fear Allah and obey me."

110

قَالُوٓا۟ أَنُؤْمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلْأَرْذَلُونَ

They replied: "Should we believe in you, whereas your followers are but the lowest of the low?"

111

قَالَ وَمَا عِلْمِى بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

He said: "I have no knowledge as to what they have been doing;

112

إِنْ حِسَابُهُمْ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّى ۖ لَوْ تَشْعُرُونَ

their account is the concern of my Rabb, if you could use your common sense!

113

وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

I am not going to drive away any believer .

114

إِنْ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ

I am nothing but a plain Warner."

115

قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَـٰنُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمَرْجُومِينَ

They said: "O Nuh! If you do not stop, you shall be stoned to death."

116

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِى كَذَّبُونِ

Nuh prayed: "O Rabb! My people have disobeyed me.

117

فَٱفْتَحْ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَتْحًا وَنَجِّنِى وَمَن مَّعِىَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Decide the case between me and them openly. Deliver me and the believers who are with me."

118

فَأَنجَيْنَـٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ

So We granted his prayer, delivered him and those with him in the laden ark,

119

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا بَعْدُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ

and drowned the rest in the flood.

120

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Surely in this story there is a great lesson, but most of these people do not learn a lesson and become believers.

121

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

The fact is that your Rabb is the Mighty as well as the Merciful.

122

كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

The people of 'Ad, too, disbelieved their Rasools.

123

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

Remember when their brother Hud asked them: "Have you no fear of Allah?

124

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

Rest assured that I am a trustworthy Rasool of Allah towards you.

125

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

So fear Allah and obey me.

126

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

I do not ask you any reward for my services, for my reward will be given by the Rabb of the Worlds.

127

أَتَبْنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِيعٍ ءَايَةً تَعْبَثُونَ

Are you erecting a monument on every high place for fun?

128

وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَخْلُدُونَ

Are you building strong fortresses as if you are going to live here forever?

129

وَإِذَا بَطَشْتُم بَطَشْتُمْ جَبَّارِينَ

Whenever you lay your hands on anyone, you act like cruel tyrants.

130

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

Have fear of Allah and obey me.

131

وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَمَدَّكُم بِمَا تَعْلَمُونَ

Fear the One Who has given you all the things that you know.

132

أَمَدَّكُم بِأَنْعَـٰمٍ وَبَنِينَ

He has given you flocks and children,

133

وَجَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

gardens and fountains.

134

إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

Truly I fear for you the torment of a dreadful Day."

135

قَالُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْنَآ أَوَعَظْتَ أَمْ لَمْ تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْوَٰعِظِينَ

They replied: "It is the same to us whether you preach us or you are not one of the preachers.

136

إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا خُلُقُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

Such preaching is nothing but an ancient myth.

137

وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ

We are not going to be punished."

138

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهْلَكْنَـٰهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

So they disbelieved him and We utterly destroyed them. Surely in this story there is a great lesson, but most of these people do not learn a lesson and become believers.

139

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

The fact is that your Rabb is the Mighty as well as the Merciful.

140

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

The people of Thamud also disbelieved their Rasools.

141

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ صَـٰلِحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

Remember when their brother Saleh asked them: "Have you no fear of Allah?

142

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

Rest assured that I am a trustworthy Rasool of Allah towards you.

143

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

So fear Allah and obey me.

144

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

I do not ask you any reward for my services, for my reward will be given by the Rabb of the Worlds.

145

أَتُتْرَكُونَ فِى مَا هَـٰهُنَآ ءَامِنِينَ

Will you be left in peace to enjoy all that you have here forever?

146

فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

Gardens and fountains,

147

وَزُرُوعٍ وَنَخْلٍ طَلْعُهَا هَضِيمٌ

cornfields and palm-trees laden with juicy fruit,

148

وَتَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا فَـٰرِهِينَ

carving your dwellings in the mountains and leading a happy life?

149

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

Have fear of Allah and obey me.

150

وَلَا تُطِيعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ

Do not follow the bidding of extravagant,

151

ٱلَّذِينَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ

who create corruption in the land and reform nothing."

152

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ

They replied: "You are but one of the bewitched!

153

مَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا فَأْتِ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ

You are no more than a human being like us. Bring forth a sign if you are one of the truthful."

154

قَالَ هَـٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةٌ لَّهَا شِرْبٌ وَلَكُمْ شِرْبُ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ

Saleh said: "Well, here is the she-camel (the sign that you asked for). She shall have her share of water as you all have yours, each drinking on an alternate appointed day.

155

وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

Do not touch her with evil, lest the punishment of a dreadful Day may overtake you."

156

فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ نَـٰدِمِينَ

Yet they hamstrung her, then became full of regrets;

157

فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

so the punishment overtook them. Surely in this story there is a great lesson, but most of these people do not learn a lesson and become believers.

158

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

The fact is that your Rabb is the Mighty as well as the Merciful.

159

كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

The people of Lut (Lot), also, disbelieved their Rasools.

160

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ لُوطٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

Remember when their brother Lut asked them: "Have you no fear of Allah?

161

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

Rest assured that I am a trustworthy Rasool of Allah towards you.

162

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

So fear Allah and obey me.

163

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

I do not ask you any reward for my services, for my reward will be given by the Rabb of the Worlds.

164

أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Will you fornicate with males from among the creatures of the worlds

165

وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَٰجِكُم ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ عَادُونَ

and leave those whom your Rabb has created for you to be your mates? Nay! You are a people who have transgressed all limits."

166

قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَـٰلُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْرَجِينَ

They replied: "If you do not stop, O Lut, you shall become one of the expelled."

167

قَالَ إِنِّى لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلْقَالِينَ

Lut said: "I am certainly one of those who abhor your actions.

168

رَبِّ نَجِّنِى وَأَهْلِى مِمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ

O Rabb! Deliver me and my family from their wicked deeds."

169

فَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ

So We delivered him and all his family

170

إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِى ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ

except an old woman who was left among those who remained behind.

171

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ

Then We utterly destroyed the rest.

172

وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرًا ۖ فَسَآءَ مَطَرُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ

We rained down on them the rain of brimstones: and evil was the rain which fell on those who were forewarned.

173

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Surely in this story there is a great lesson, but most of these people do not learn a lesson and become believers.

174

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

The fact is that your Rabb is the Mighty as well as the Merciful.

175

كَذَّبَ أَصْحَـٰبُ لْـَٔيْكَةِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

The people of Aiykah, also, disbelieved their Rasools.

176

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ شُعَيْبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

Remember Shu'aib asked them: "Have you no fear of Allah?

177

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

Rest assured that I am a trustworthy Rasool of Allah towards you.

178

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

So fear Allah and obey me.

179

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

I do not ask you any reward for my services, for my reward will be given by the Rabb of the Worlds.

180

أَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْسِرِينَ

Give full measure and be not of those who cause losses to others by fraud.

181

وَزِنُوا۟ بِٱلْقِسْطَاسِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِ

Weigh with even scales

182

وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا۟ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ

and do not cheat your fellow men of what is rightly theirs: nor spread evil in the land.

183

وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ وَٱلْجِبِلَّةَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

Fear Him Who has created you and the generations before you".

184

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ

They replied: "You are surely one of those who are bewitched.

185

وَمَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ

You are no more than a human being like us and we think that you are lying.

186

فَأَسْقِطْ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ

Let a fragment fall out of the sky on us if you are telling the Truth".

187

قَالَ رَبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

Shu'aib said: "My Rabb has full knowledge of all your actions".

188

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

So they disbelieved him, and the torment of the day of darkness (dark clouds carrying Allah's scourge) seized them, and indeed it was the torment of an extremely dreadful day.

189

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Surely in this story there is a great lesson, but most of these people do not learn a lesson and become believers.

190

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

The fact is that your Rabb is the Mighty as well as the Merciful.

191

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Surely this Qur'an is a revelation from the Rabb of the Worlds.

192

نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْأَمِينُ

The trustworthy Spirit (Angel Gabriel) brought it down

193

عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ

upon your heart so that you may become one of those who are appointed by Allah to warn the people

194

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِىٍّ مُّبِينٍ

in a plain Arabic language.

195

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِى زُبُرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

This fact was foretold in the scriptures of the former people.

196

أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ ءَايَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَـٰٓؤُا۟ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

Is it not sufficient proof for the people that the learned men of the children of Israel knew about it?

197

وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَـٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ ٱلْأَعْجَمِينَ

Even so that if We had revealed it to a non-Arab,

198

فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنِينَ

and he had recited it to them in fluent Arabic, they would still not have believed in it.

199

كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَـٰهُ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

We have thus caused unbelief in the hearts of the guilty.

200

لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ

They are not going to believe in it until they see the painful scourge

201

فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

which, in their heedlessness, will come to them suddenly.

202

فَيَقُولُوا۟ هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ

Then they will ask: "Can we be given some respite?"

203

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

Do they wish to hurry on Our scourge?

204

أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ سِنِينَ

Just think! If We let them enjoy this life for many years,

205

ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ

and then the scourge with which they are threatened falls upon them,

206

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُمَتَّعُونَ

of what avail will their past enjoyments be to them?

207

وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ

Never have We destroyed a population to whom We did not send Warners;

208

ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِينَ

they were forewarned, and We have never been unjust.

209

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينُ

This Qur'an is not brought down by the shaitans:

210

وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ

it is neither in their interest nor in their power to produce such a masterpiece.

211

إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ

They are kept too far off to even hear it.

212

فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُعَذَّبِينَ

So do not call on other gods besides Allah, lest you become one of those who incur His punishment.

213

وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ

Admonish your close relatives

214

وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

and lower your wing of kindness to those of the believers who follow you,

215

فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ

but if they disobey, tell them: "I am not accountable for what you do."

216

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Put your trust in the All-Mighty, the Merciful,

217

ٱلَّذِى يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ

Who observes you when you get up

218

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ

and when you walk among those who prostrate themselves in worship.

219

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

He is the One Who hears all and knows all.

220

هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينُ

Shall I tell you, O people, on whom the shaitans descend?

221

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ

They descend on every slandering sinner.

222

يُلْقُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَـٰذِبُونَ

Those who listen to hearsay - and most of them are liars

223

وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلْغَاوُۥنَ

- and those poets who are followed by those who go astray.

224

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ

Do you not see, how aimlessly they wander in every valley,

225

وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ

preaching what they do not practice themselves?

226

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَٱنتَصَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَىَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ

However, an exception is made for those (poets) who believe, do good deeds, engage much in the remembrance of Allah and defend themselves when wronged, showing no vindictiveness. The unjust oppressors will soon find out what vicissitudes their affairs will take.
