2
These are revelations of the Scripture that maketh plain.
3
It may be that thou tormentest thyself (O Muhammad) because they believe not.
4
If We will, We can send down on them from the sky a portent so that their necks would remain bowed before it.
5
Never cometh there unto them a fresh reminder from the Beneficent One, but they turn away from it.
6
Now they have denied (the Truth); but there will come unto them tidings of that whereat they used to scoff.
7
Have they not seen the earth, how much of every fruitful kind We make to grow therein?
8
Lo! herein is indeed a portent; yet most of them are not believers.
9
And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.
10
And when thy Lord called Moses, saying: Go unto the wrongdoing folk,
11
The folk of Pharaoh. Will they not ward off (evil)?
12
He said: My Lord! Lo! I fear that they will deny me,
13
And I shall be embarrassed, and my tongue will not speak plainly, therefor send for Aaron (to help me).
14
And they have a crime against me, so I fear that they will kill me.
15
He said: Nay, verily. So go ye twain with Our tokens. Lo! We shall be with you, Hearing.
16
And come together unto Pharaoh and say: Lo! we bear a message of the Lord of the Worlds,
17
(Saying): Let the Children of Israel go with Us.
18
(Pharaoh) said (unto Moses): Did we not rear thee among us as a child? And thou didst dwell many years of thy life among us,
19
And thou didst that thy deed which thou didst, and thou wast one of the ingrates,
20
He said: I did it then, when I was of those who are astray.
21
Then I fled from you when I feared you, and my Lord vouchsafed me a command and appointed me (of the number) of those sent (by Him).
22
And this is the past favor wherewith thou reproachest me: that thou hast enslaved the Children of Israel.
23
Pharaoh said: And what is the Lord of the Worlds?
24
(Moses) said: Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if ye had but sure belief.
25
(Pharaoh) said unto those around him: Hear ye not?
26
He said: Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers.
27
(Pharaoh) said: Lo! your messenger who hath been sent unto you is indeed a madman!
28
He said: Lord of the East and the West and all that is between them, if ye did but understand.
29
(Pharaoh) said: If thou choosest a god other than me, I assuredly shall place thee among the prisoners.
30
He said: Even though I show thee something plain?
31
(Pharaoh) said: Produce it then, if thou art of the truthful!
32
Then he flung down his staff and it became a serpent manifest,
33
And he drew forth his hand and lo! it was white to the beholders.
34
(Pharaoh) said unto the chiefs about him: Lo, this is verily a knowing wizard,
35
Who would drive you out of your land by his magic. Now what counsel ye?
36
They said: Put him off, (him) and his brother, and send them into the cities summoners
37
Who shall bring unto thee every knowing wizard.
38
So the wizards were gathered together at a set time on a day appointed.
39
And it was said unto the people: Are ye (also) gathering?
40
(They said): Aye, so that we may follow the wizards if they are the winners.
41
And when the wizards came they said unto Pharaoh: Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners?
42
He said: Aye, and ye will then surely be of those brought near (to me).
43
Moses said unto them: Throw what ye are going to throw!
44
Then they threw down their cords and their staves and said: By Pharaoh's might, lo! we verily are the winners.
45
Then Moses threw his staff and lo! it swallowed that which they did falsely show.
46
And the wizards were flung prostrate,
47
Crying: We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,
48
The Lord of Moses and Aaron.
49
(Pharaoh) said, Ye put your faith in him before I give you leave. Lo! he doubtless is your chief who taught you magic! But verily ye shall come to know. Verily I will cut off your hands and your feet alternately, and verily I will crucify you everyone.
50
They said: It is no hurt, for lo! unto our Lord we shall return.
51
Lo! we ardently hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we are the first of the believers.
52
And We inspired Moses, saying: Take away My slaves by night, for ye will be pursued.
53
Then Pharaoh sent into the cities summoners,
54
(Who said): Lo! these indeed are but a little troop,
55
And lo! they are offenders against us.
56
And lo! we are a ready host.
57
Thus did We take them away from gardens and water springs,
58
And treasures and a fair estate.
59
Thus (were those things taken from them) and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them.
60
And they overtook them at sunrise.
61
And when the two hosts saw each other, those with Moses said: Lo! we are indeed caught.
62
He said: Nay, verily! for lo! my Lord is with me. He will guide me.
63
Then We inspired Moses, saying: Smite the sea with thy staff. And it parted, and each part was as a mountain vast.
64
Then brought We near the others to that place.
65
And We saved Moses and those with him, every one;
66
We drowned the others.
67
Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers.
68
And lo, thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.
69
Recite unto them the story of Abraham:
70
When he said unto his father and his folk: What worship ye?
71
They said: We worship idols, and are ever devoted unto them.
72
He said: Do they hear you when ye cry?
73
Or do they benefit or harm you?
74
They said: Nay, but we found our fathers acting on this use.
75
He said: See now that which ye worship,
76
Ye and your forefathers!
77
Lo! they are (all) an enemy unto me, save the Lord of the Worlds.
78
Who created me, and He doth guide me,
79
And Who feedeth me and watereth me.
80
And when I sicken, then He healeth me,
81
And Who causeth me to die, the giveth me life (again),
82
And Who, I ardently hope, will forgive me my sin on the Day of Judgement.
83
My Lord! Vouchsafe me wisdom and unite me to the righteous.
84
And give unto me a good report in later generations.
85
And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Delight,
86
And forgive my father. Lo! he is of those who err.
87
And abase me not on the day when they are raised,
88
The day when wealth and sons avail not (any man)
89
Save him who bringeth unto Allah a whole heart.
90
And the Garden will be brought nigh for those who ward off (evil).
91
And hell will appear plainly to the erring.
92
And it will be said unto them: Where is (all) that ye used to worship
93
Instead of Allah? Can they help you or help themselves?
94
Then they will be hurled therein, they and the seducers
95
And the hosts of Iblis, together.
96
And they will say, when they are quarrelling therein:
97
By Allah, of a truth we were in error manifest
98
When we made you equal with the Lord of the Worlds.
99
It was but the guilty who misled us.
100
Now we have no intercessors
101
Nor any loving friend.
102
Oh, that we had another turn (on earth), that we might be of the believers!
103
Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers!
104
And lo, thy Lord! He is Indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.
105
Noah's folk denied the messengers (of Allah),
106
When their brother Noah said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)?
107
Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you,
108
So keep your duty to Allah, and obey me.
109
And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds.
110
So keep your duty to Allah, and obey me.
111
They said: Shall we put faith in thee, when the lowest (of the people) follow thee?
112
He said: And what knowledge have I of what they may have been doing (in the past)?
113
Lo! their reckoning is my Lord's concern, if ye but knew;
114
And I am not (here) to repulse believers.
115
I am only a plain warner.
116
They said: If thou cease not, O Noah, thou wilt surely be among those stoned (to death).
117
He said: My Lord! Lo! my own folk deny me.
118
Therefor judge Thou between us, a (conclusive) judgment, and save me and those believers who are with me.
119
And We saved him and those with him in the laden ship.
120
Then afterward We drowned the others.
121
Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers.
122
And lo, thy Lord, He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.
123
(The tribe of) Aad denied the messengers (of Allah),
124
When their brother Hud said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)?
125
Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you,
126
So keep your duty to Allah and obey me.
127
And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds.
128
Build ye on every high place a monument for vain delight?
129
And seek ye out strongholds, that haply ye may last for ever?
130
And if ye seize by force, seize ye as tyrants?
131
Rather keep your duty to Allah, and obey me.
132
Keep your duty toward Him who hath aided you with (the good things) that ye know,
133
Hath aided you with cattle and sons.
134
And gardens and watersprings.
135
Lo! I fear for you the retribution of an awful day.
136
They said: It is all one to us whether thou preachest or art not of those who preach;
137
This is but a fable of the men of old,
138
And we shall not be doomed.
139
And they denied him; therefor We destroyed them. Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers.
140
And lo! thy Lord, He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.
141
(The tribe of) Thamud denied the messengers (of Allah)
142
When their brother Salih said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)?
143
Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you,
144
So keep your duty to Allah and obey me.
145
And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds.
146
Will ye be left secure in that which is here before us,
147
In gardens and watersprings
148
And tilled fields and heavy sheathed palm trees,
149
Though ye hew out dwellings in the mountain, being skilful?
150
Therefor keep your duty to Allah and obey me,
151
And obey not the command of the prodigal,
152
Who spread corruption in the earth, and reform not.
153
They said: Thou art but one of the bewitched;
154
Thou art but a mortal like us. So bring some token if thou art of the truthful.
155
He said: (Behold) this she-camel. She hath the right to drink (at the well), and ye have the right to drink, (each) on an appointed day.
156
And touch her not with ill lest there come on you the retribution of an awful day.
157
But they hamstrung her, and then were penitent.
158
So the retribution came on them. Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers.
159
And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.
160
The folk of Lot denied the messengers (of Allah),
161
When their brother Lot said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)?
162
Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you,
163
So keep your duty to Allah and obey me.
164
And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds.
165
What! Of all creatures do ye come unto the males,
166
And leave the wives your Lord created for you? Nay, but ye are froward folk.
167
They said: If thou cease not, O Lot, thou wilt soon be of the outcast.
168
He said: I am in truth of those who hate your conduct.
169
My Lord! Save me and my household from what they do.
170
So We saved him and his household, every one,
171
Save an old woman among those who stayed behind.
172
Then afterward We destroyed the others.
173
And We rained on them a rain. And dreadful is the rain of those who have been warned.
174
Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers.
175
And lo! thy Lord, He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.
176
The dwellers in the wood (of Midian) denied the messengers (of Allah),
177
When Shueyb said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)?
178
Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you,
179
So keep your duty to Allah and obey me.
180
And I ask of you no wage for it; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds.
181
Give full measure, and be not of those who give less (than the due).
182
And weigh with the true balance.
183
Wring not mankind in their goods, and do not evil, making mischief, in the earth.
184
And keep your duty unto Him Who created you and the generations of the men of old.
185
They said: Thou art but one of the bewitched;
186
Thou art but a mortal like us, and lo! we deem thee of the liars.
187
Then make fragments of the heaven fall upon us, if thou art of the truthful.
188
He said: My Lord is best aware of what ye do.
189
But they denied him, so there came on them the retribution of the day of gloom. Lo! it was the retribution of an awful day.
190
Lo! herein is indeed a portent; yet most of them are not believers.
191
And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.
192
And lo! it is a revelation of the Lord of the Worlds,
193
Which the True Spirit hath brought down
194
Upon thy heart, that thou mayest be (one) of the warners,
195
In plain Arabic speech.
196
And lo, it is in the Scriptures of the men of old.
197
Is it not a token for them that the doctors of the Children of Israel know it?
198
And if We had revealed it unto one of any other nation than the Arabs,
199
And he had read it unto them, they would not have believed in it.
200
Thus do We make it traverse the hearts of the guilty.
201
They will not believe in it till they behold the painful doom,
202
So that it will come upon them suddenly, when they perceive not.
203
Then they will say: Are we to be reprieved?
204
Would they (now) hasten on Our doom?
205
Hast thou then seen, We content them for (long) years,
206
And then cometh that which they were promised,
207
(How) that wherewith they were contented naught availeth them?
208
And We destroyed no township but it had its warners
209
For reminder, for We never were oppressors.
210
The devils did not bring it down.
211
It is not meet for them, nor is it in their power,
212
Lo! verily they are banished from the hearing.
213
Therefor invoke not with Allah another god, lest thou be one of the doomed.
214
And warn thy tribe of near kindred,
215
And lower thy wing (in kindness) unto those believers who follow thee.
216
And if they (thy kinsfolk) disobey thee, say: Lo! I am innocent of what they do.
217
And put thy trust in the Mighty, the Merciful.
218
Who seeth thee when thou standest up (to pray)
219
And (seeth) thine abasement among those who fall prostrate (in worship).
220
Lo! He, only He, is the Hearer, the Knower.
221
Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?
222
They descend on every sinful, false one.
223
They listen eagerly, but most of them are liars.
224
As for poets, the erring follow them.
225
Hast thou not seen how they stray in every valley,
226
And how they say that which they do not?
227
Save those who believe and do good works, and remember Allah much, and vindicate themselves after they have been wronged. Those who do wrong will come to know by what a (great) reverse they will be overturned!
