26. Ash-Shu'araa سُورَةُ الشُّعَرَاءِ
Saheeh InternationalTa, Seen, Meem
Saheeh InternationalThese are the verses of the clear Book
Saheeh InternationalPerhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers
Saheeh InternationalIf We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled
Saheeh InternationalAnd no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it
Saheeh InternationalFor they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule
Saheeh InternationalDid they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind
Saheeh InternationalIndeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers
Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful
Saheeh InternationalAnd [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people
Saheeh InternationalThe people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allah
Saheeh InternationalHe said, "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me
Saheeh InternationalAnd that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron
Saheeh InternationalAnd they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me
Saheeh International[Allah] said, "No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening
Saheeh InternationalGo to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds
Saheeh International[Commanded to say], "Send with us the Children of Israel
Saheeh International[Pharaoh] said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life
Saheeh InternationalAnd [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful
Saheeh International[Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray
Saheeh InternationalSo I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me wisdom and prophethood and appointed me [as one] of the messengers
Saheeh InternationalAnd is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel
Saheeh InternationalSaid Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds
Saheeh International[Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced
Saheeh International[Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear
Saheeh International[Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers
Saheeh International[Pharaoh] said, "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad
Saheeh International[Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason
Saheeh International[Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned
Saheeh International[Moses] said, "Even if I brought you proof manifest
Saheeh International[Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful
Saheeh InternationalSo [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest
Saheeh InternationalAnd he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers
Saheeh International[Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician
Saheeh InternationalHe wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise
Saheeh InternationalThey said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers
Saheeh InternationalWho will bring you every learned, skilled magician
Saheeh InternationalSo the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day
Saheeh InternationalAnd it was said to the people, "Will you congregate
Saheeh InternationalThat we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant
Saheeh InternationalAnd when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant
Saheeh InternationalHe said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]
Saheeh InternationalMoses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw
Saheeh InternationalSo they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant
Saheeh InternationalThen Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified
Saheeh InternationalSo the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah]
Saheeh InternationalThey said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds
Saheeh InternationalThe Lord of Moses and Aaron
Saheeh International[Pharaoh] said, "You believed Moses before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all
Saheeh InternationalThey said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers
Saheeh InternationalAnd We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued
Saheeh InternationalThen Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers
Saheeh International[And said], "Indeed, those are but a small band
Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, they are enraging us
Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, we are a cautious society
Saheeh InternationalSo We removed them from gardens and springs
Saheeh InternationalAnd treasures and honorable station
Saheeh InternationalThus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel
Saheeh InternationalSo they pursued them at sunrise
Saheeh InternationalAnd when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken
Saheeh International[Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me
Saheeh InternationalThen We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain
Saheeh InternationalAnd We saved Moses and those with him, all together
Saheeh InternationalThen We drowned the others
Saheeh InternationalIndeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers
Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful
Saheeh InternationalAnd recite to them the news of Abraham
Saheeh InternationalWhen he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship
Saheeh InternationalThey said, "We worship idols and remain to them devoted
Saheeh InternationalHe said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate
Saheeh InternationalOr do they benefit you, or do they harm
Saheeh InternationalThey said, "But we found our fathers doing thus
Saheeh InternationalHe said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping
Saheeh InternationalYou and your ancient forefathers
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds
Saheeh InternationalWho created me, and He [it is who] guides me
Saheeh InternationalAnd it is He who feeds me and gives me drink
Saheeh InternationalAnd when I am ill, it is He who cures me
Saheeh InternationalAnd who will cause me to die and then bring me to life
Saheeh InternationalAnd who I aspire that He will forgive me my sin on the Day of Recompense
Saheeh International[And he said], "My Lord, grant me authority and join me with the righteous
Saheeh InternationalAnd grant me a reputation of honor among later generations
Saheeh InternationalAnd place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Pleasure
Saheeh InternationalAnd forgive my father. Indeed, he has been of those astray
Saheeh InternationalAnd do not disgrace me on the Day they are [all] resurrected
Saheeh InternationalThe Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children
Saheeh InternationalBut only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart
Saheeh InternationalAnd Paradise will be brought near [that Day] to the righteous
Saheeh InternationalAnd Hellfire will be brought forth for the deviators
Saheeh InternationalAnd it will be said to them, "Where are those you used to worship
Saheeh InternationalOther than Allah? Can they help you or help themselves
Saheeh InternationalSo they will be overturned into Hellfire, they and the deviators
Saheeh InternationalAnd the soldiers of Iblees, all together
Saheeh InternationalThey will say while they dispute therein
Saheeh InternationalBy Allah, we were indeed in manifest error
Saheeh InternationalWhen we equated you with the Lord of the worlds
Saheeh InternationalAnd no one misguided us except the criminals
Saheeh InternationalSo now we have no intercessors
Saheeh InternationalThen if we only had a return [to the world] and could be of the believers
Saheeh InternationalIndeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers
Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful
Saheeh InternationalThe people of Noah denied the messengers
Saheeh InternationalWhen their brother Noah said to them, "Will you not fear Allah
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger
Saheeh InternationalAnd I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds
Saheeh InternationalThey said, "Should we believe you while you are followed by the lowest [class of people]
Saheeh InternationalHe said, "And what is my knowledge of what they used to do
Saheeh InternationalTheir account is only upon my Lord, if you [could] perceive
Saheeh InternationalAnd I am not one to drive away the believers
Saheeh InternationalI am only a clear warner
Saheeh InternationalThey said, "If you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be of those who are stoned
Saheeh InternationalHe said, "My Lord, indeed my people have denied me
Saheeh InternationalThen judge between me and them with decisive judgement and save me and those with me of the believers
Saheeh InternationalSo We saved him and those with him in the laden ship
Saheeh InternationalThen We drowned thereafter the remaining ones
Saheeh InternationalIndeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers
Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful
Saheeh InternationalAad denied the messengers
Saheeh InternationalWhen their brother Hud said to them, "Will you not fear Allah
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger
Saheeh InternationalAnd I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds
Saheeh InternationalDo you construct on every elevation a sign, amusing yourselves
Saheeh InternationalAnd take for yourselves palaces and fortresses that you might abide eternally
Saheeh InternationalAnd when you strike, you strike as tyrants
Saheeh InternationalAnd fear He who provided you with that which you know
Saheeh InternationalProvided you with grazing livestock and children
Saheeh InternationalAnd gardens and springs
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day
Saheeh InternationalThey said, "It is all the same to us whether you advise or are not of the advisors
Saheeh InternationalThis is not but the custom of the former peoples
Saheeh InternationalAnd they denied him, so We destroyed them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers
Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful
Saheeh InternationalThamud denied the messengers
Saheeh InternationalWhen their brother Salih said to them, "Will you not fear Allah
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger
Saheeh InternationalAnd I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds
Saheeh InternationalWill you be left in what is here, secure [from death]
Saheeh InternationalWithin gardens and springs
Saheeh InternationalAnd fields of crops and palm trees with softened fruit
Saheeh InternationalAnd you carve out of the mountains, homes, with skill
Saheeh InternationalAnd do not obey the order of the transgressors
Saheeh InternationalWho cause corruption in the land and do not amend
Saheeh InternationalThey said, "You are only of those affected by magic
Saheeh InternationalYou are but a man like ourselves, so bring a sign, if you should be of the truthful
Saheeh InternationalHe said, "This is a she-camel. For her is a [time of] drink, and for you is a [time of] drink, [each] on a known day
Saheeh InternationalAnd do not touch her with harm, lest you be seized by the punishment of a terrible day
Saheeh InternationalBut they hamstrung her and so became regretful
Saheeh InternationalAnd the punishment seized them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers
Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful
Saheeh InternationalThe people of Lot denied the messengers
Saheeh InternationalWhen their brother Lot said to them, "Will you not fear Allah
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger
Saheeh InternationalAnd I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds
Saheeh InternationalDo you approach males among the worlds
Saheeh InternationalAnd leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing
Saheeh InternationalThey said, "If you do not desist, O Lot, you will surely be of those evicted
Saheeh InternationalHe said, "Indeed, I am, toward your deed, of those who detest [it]
Saheeh InternationalMy Lord, save me and my family from [the consequence of] what they do
Saheeh InternationalSo We saved him and his family, all
Saheeh InternationalExcept an old woman among those who remained behind
Saheeh InternationalThen We destroyed the others
Saheeh InternationalAnd We rained upon them a rain [of stones], and evil was the rain of those who were warned
Saheeh InternationalIndeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers
Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful
Saheeh InternationalThe companions of the thicket denied the messengers
Saheeh InternationalWhen Shu'ayb said to them, "Will you not fear Allah

Saheeh InternationalGive full measure and do not be of those who cause loss
Saheeh InternationalAnd do not deprive people of their due and do not commit abuse on earth, spreading corruption
Saheeh InternationalAnd fear He who created you and the former creation
Saheeh InternationalThey said, "You are only of those affected by magic
Saheeh InternationalYou are but a man like ourselves, and indeed, we think you are among the liars
Saheeh InternationalSo cause to fall upon us fragments of the sky, if you should be of the truthful
Saheeh InternationalHe said, "My Lord is most knowing of what you do
Saheeh InternationalAnd they denied him, so the punishment of the day of the black cloud seized them. Indeed, it was the punishment of a terrible day
Saheeh InternationalIndeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers
Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful
Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, the Qur'an is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds
Saheeh InternationalThe Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down
Saheeh InternationalUpon your heart, [O Muhammad] - that you may be of the warners
Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples
Saheeh InternationalAnd has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel
Saheeh InternationalAnd even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners
Saheeh InternationalAnd he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it
Saheeh InternationalThus have We inserted disbelief into the hearts of the criminals
Saheeh InternationalThey will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment
Saheeh InternationalAnd it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not
Saheeh InternationalAnd they will say, "May we be reprieved
Saheeh InternationalSo for Our punishment are they impatient
Saheeh InternationalThen have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years
Saheeh InternationalAnd then there came to them that which they were promised
Saheeh InternationalThey would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided
Saheeh InternationalAnd We did not destroy any city except that it had warners
Saheeh InternationalAs a reminder; and never have We been unjust
Saheeh InternationalAnd the devils have not brought the revelation down
Saheeh InternationalIt is not allowable for them, nor would they be able
Saheeh InternationalIndeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed
Saheeh InternationalSo do not invoke with Allah another deity and [thus] be among the punished
Saheeh InternationalAnd warn, [O Muhammad], your closest kindred
Saheeh InternationalAnd lower your wing to those who follow you of the believers
Saheeh InternationalAnd if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing
Saheeh InternationalAnd rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful
Saheeh InternationalWho sees you when you arise
Saheeh InternationalAnd your movement among those who prostrate
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing
Saheeh InternationalShall I inform you upon whom the devils descend
Saheeh InternationalThey descend upon every sinful liar
Saheeh InternationalThey pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars
Saheeh InternationalAnd the poets - [only] the deviators follow them
Saheeh InternationalDo you not see that in every valley they roam
Saheeh InternationalAnd that they say what they do not do
Saheeh InternationalExcept those [poets] who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allah often and defend [the Muslims] after they were wronged. And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned
