[1] Ta Sin Mim.
[2] These are the verses of the Book that makes (things) clear.
[3] Perhaps you will kill yourself with grief because they do not believe.
[4] If We please, We should send down upon them a sign from the heaven so that their necks should stoop to it.
[5] And there does not come to them a new reminder from the Beneficent Allah but they turn aside from it.
[6] So they have indeed rejected (the truth), therefore the news of that which they mock shall soon come to them.
[7] Do they not see the earth, how many of every noble kind We have caused to grow in it?
[8] Most surely there is a sign in that, but most of them will not believe.
[9] And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
[10] And when your Lord called out to Musa, saying: Go to the unjust people,
[11] The people of Firon: Will they not guard (against evil)?
[12] He said: O my Lord! surely I fear that they will reject me;
[13] And by breast straitens, and my tongue is not eloquent, therefore send Thou to Haroun (to help me);
[14] And they have a crime against me, therefore I fear that they may slay me.
[15] He said: By no means, so go you both with Our signs; surely We are with you, hearing;
[16] Then come to Firon and say: Surely we are the apostles of the Lord of the worlds:
[17] Then send with us the children of Israel.
[18] (Firon) said: Did we not bring you up as a child among us, and you tarried among us for (many) years of your life?
[19] And you did (that) deed of yours which you did, and you are one of the ungrateful.
[20] He said: I did it then while I was of those unable to see the right course;
[21] So I fled from you when I feared you, then my Lord granted me wisdom and made me of the apostles;
[22] And is it a favor of which you remind me that you have enslaved the children of Israel?
[23] Firon said: And what is the Lord of the worlds?
[24] He said: The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you would be sure.
[25] (Firon) said to those around him: Do you not hear?
[26] He said: Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of old.
[27] Said he: Most surely your Apostle who is sent to you is mad.
[28] He said: The Lord of the east and the west and what is between them, if you understand.
[29] Said he: If you will take a god besides me, I will most certainly make you one of the imprisoned.
[30] He said: What! even if I bring to you something manifest?
[31] Said he: Bring it then, if you are of the truthful ones.
[32] So he cast down his rod, and lo! it was an obvious serpent,
[33] And he drew forth his hand, and lo! it appeared white to the onlookers.
[34] (Firon) said to the chiefs around him: Most surely this is a skillful magician,
[35] Who desires to turn you out of your land with his magic; what is it then that you advise?
[36] They said: Give him and his brother respite and send heralds into the cities
[37] That they should bring to you every skillful magician.
[38] So the magicians were gathered together at the appointed time on the fixed day,
[39] And it was said to the people: Will you gather together?
[40] Haply we may follow the magicians, if they are the vanquishers.
[41] And when the magicians came, they said to Firon: Shall we get a reward if we are the vanquishers?
[42] He said: Yes, and surely you will then be of those who are made near.
[43] Musa said to them: Cast what you are going to cast.
[44] So they cast down their cords and their rods and said: By Firon's power, we shall most surely be victorious.
[45] Then Musa cast down his staff and lo! it swallowed up the lies they told.
[46] And the magicians were thrown down prostrate;
[47] They said: We believe in the Lord of the worlds:
[48] The Lord of Musa and Haroun.
[49] Said he: You believe in him before I give you permission; most surely he is the chief of you who taught you the magic, so you shall know: certainly I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and certainly I will crucify you all.
[50] They said: No harm; surely to our Lord we go back;
[51] Surely we hope that our Lord will forgive us our wrongs because we are the first of the believers.
[52] And We revealed to Musa, saying: Go away with My servants travelling by night, surely you will be pursued.
[53] So Firon sent heralds into the cities;
[54] Most surely these are a small company;
[55] And most surely they have enraged us;
[56] And most surely we are a vigilant multitude.
[57] So We turned them out of gardens and springs,
[58] And treasures and goodly dwellings,
[59] Even so. And We gave them as a heritage to the children of Israel.
[60] Then they pursued them at sunrise.
[61] So when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Musa cried out: Most surely we are being overtaken.
[62] He said: By no means; surely my Lord is with me: He will show me a way out.
[63] Then We revealed to Musa: Strike the sea with your staff. So it had cloven asunder, and each part was like a huge mound.
[64] And We brought near, there, the others.
[65] And We saved Musa and those with him, all of them.
[66] Then We drowned the others.
[67] Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.
[68] And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
[69] And recite to them the story of Ibrahim.
[70] When he said to his father and his people: What do you worship?
[71] They said: We worship idols, so we shall be their votaries.
[72] He said: Do they hear you when you call?
[73] Or do they profit you or cause you harm?
[74] They said: Nay, we found our fathers doing so.
[75] He said: Have you then considered what you have been worshipping:
[76] You and your ancient sires.
[77] Surely they are enemies to me, but not (so) the Lord of the worlds;
[78] Who created me, then He has shown me the way:
[79] And He Who gives me to eat and gives me to drink:
[80] And when I am sick, then He restores me to health
[81] And He Who will cause me to die, then give me life;
[82] And Who, I hope, will forgive me my mistakes on the day of judgment.
[83] My Lord: Grant me wisdom, and join me with the good
[84] And ordain for me a goodly mention among posterity
[85] And make me of the heirs of the garden of bliss
[86] And forgive my father, for surely he is of those who have gone astray;
[87] And disgrace me not on the day when they are raised
[88] The day on which property will not avail, nor sons
[89] Except him who comes to Allah with a heart free (from evil).
[90] And the garden shall be brought near for those who guard (against evil),
[91] And the hell shall be made manifest to the erring ones,
[92] And it shall be said to them: Where are those that you used to worship;
[93] Besides Allah? Can they help you or yet help themselves?
[94] So they shall be thrown down into it, they and the erring ones,
[95] And the hosts of the Shaitan, all.
[96] They shall say while they contend therein:
[97] By Allah! we were certainly in manifest error,
[98] When we made you equal to the Lord of the worlds;
[99] And none but the guilty led us astray;
[100] So we have no intercessors,
[101] Nor a true friend;
[102] But if we could but once return, we would be of the believers.
[103] Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.
[104] And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
[105] The people of Nuh rejected the apostles.
[106] When their brother Nuh said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?
[107] Surely I am a faithful apostle to you;
[108] Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me
[109] And I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds:
[110] So guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me.
[111] They said: Shall we believe in you while the meanest follow you?
[112] He said: And what knowledge have I of what they do?
[113] Their account is only with my Lord, if you could perceive
[114] And I am not going to drive away the believers;
[115] I am naught but a plain warner.
[116] They said: If you desist not, O Nuh, you shall most certainly be of those stoned to death.
[117] He said: My Lord! Surely my people give me the lie!
[118] Therefore judge Thou between me and them with a (just) judgment, and deliver me and those who are with me of the believers.
[119] So We delivered him and those with him in the laden ark.
[120] Then We drowned the rest afterwards
[121] Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.
[122] And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
[123] Ad gave the lie to the apostles.
[124] When their brother Hud said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?
[125] Surely I am a faithful apostle to you;
[126] Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me:
[127] And I do not ask you any reward for it; surely my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds
[128] Do you build on every height a monument? Vain is it that you do:
[129] And you make strong fortresses that perhaps you may
[130] And when you lay hands (on men) you lay hands (like) tyrants;
[131] So guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me
[132] And be careful of (your duty to) Him Who has given you abundance of what you know.
[133] He has given you abundance of cattle and children
[134] And gardens and fountains;
[135] Surely I fear for you the chastisement of a grievous day
[136] They said: It is the same to us whether you admonish or are not one of the admonishers
[137] This is naught but a custom of the ancients;
[138] And we are not going to be punished.
[139] So they gave him the lie, then We destroyed them. Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.
[140] And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
[141] Samood gave the lie to the apostles
[142] When their brother Salih said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?
[143] Surely I am a faithful apostle to you
[144] Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me:
[145] And I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds:
[146] Will you be left secure in what is here;
[147] In gardens and fountains,
[148] And cornfields and palm-trees having fine spadices?
[149] And you hew houses out of the mountains exultingly;
[150] Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me;
[151] And do not obey the bidding of the extravagant,
[152] Who make mischief in the land and do not act aright.
[153] They said: You are only of the deluded ones;
[154] You are naught but a mortal like ourselves; so bring a sign if you are one of the truthful.
[155] He said: This is a she-camel; she shall have her portion of water, and you have your portion of water on an appointed time;
[156] And do not touch her with evil, lest the punishment of a grievous day should overtake you.
[157] But they hamstrung her, then regretted;
[158] So the punishment overtook them. Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.
[159] And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
[160] The people of Lut gave the lie to the apostles.
[161] When their brother Lut said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?
[162] Surely I am a faithful apostle to you;
[163] Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me:
[164] And I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds;
[165] What! do you come to the males from among the creatures
[166] And leave what your Lord has created for you of your wives? Nay, you are a people exceeding limits.
[167] They said: If you desist not, O Lut! you shall surely be of those who are expelled.
[168] He said: Surely I am of those who utterly abhor your doing;
[169] My Lord! deliver me and my followers from what they do.
[170] So We delivered him and his followers all,
[171] Except an old woman, among those who remained behind.
[172] Then We utterly destroyed the others.
[173] And We rained down upon them a rain, and evil was the rain on those warned.
[174] Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.
[175] And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
[176] The dwellers of the thicket gave the lie to the apostles.
[177] When Shu'aib said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?
[178] Surely I am a faithful apostle to you;
[179] Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me:
[180] And I do not ask you any reward for it, my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds;
[181] Give a full measure and be not of those who diminish;
[182] And weigh (things) with a right balance,
[183] And do not wrong men of their things, and do not act corruptly in the earth, making mischief.
[184] And guard against (the punishment of) Him who created you and the former nations.
[185] They said: You are only of those deluded;
[186] And you are naught but a mortal like ourselves, and we know you to be certainly of the liars.
[187] Therefore cause a portion of the heaven to come down upon us, if you are one of the truthful.
[188] He said: My Lord knows best what you do.
[189] But they called him a liar, so the punishment of the day of covering overtook them; surely it was the punishment of a grievous day.
[190] Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.
[191] And most surely your Lord is Mighty, the Merciful.
[192] And most surely this is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
[193] The Faithful Spirit has descended with it,
[194] Upon your heart that you may be of the warners
[195] In plain Arabic language.
[196] And most surely the same is in the scriptures of the ancients.
[197] Is it not a sign to them that the learned men of the Israelites know it?
[198] And if we had revealed it to any of the foreigners
[199] So that he should have recited it to them, they would not have believed therein.
[200] Thus have We caused it to enter into the hearts of the guilty.
[201] They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.
[202] And it shall come to them all of a sudden, while they shall not perceive;
[203] Then they will say: Shall we be respited?
[204] What! do they still seek to hasten on Our punishment?
[205] Have you then considered if We let them enjoy themselves for years,
[206] Then there comes to them that with which they are threatened,
[207] That which they were made to enjoy shall not avail them?
[208] And We did not destroy any town but it had (its) warners,
[209] To remind, and We are never unjust.
[210] And the Shaitans have not come down with it.
[211] And it behoves them not, and they have not the power to do (it).
[212] Most surely they are far removed from the hearing of it.
[213] So call not upon another god with Allah, lest you be of those who are punished.
[214] And warn your nearest relations,
[215] And be kind to him who follows you of the believers.
[216] But if they disobey you, then say: Surely I am clear of what you do.
[217] And rely on the Mighty, the Merciful,
[218] Who sees you when you stand up.
[219] And your turning over and over among those who prostrate themselves before Allah.
[220] Surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
[221] Shall I inform you (of him) upon whom the Shaitans descend?
[222] They descend upon every lying, sinful one,
[223] They incline their ears, and most of them are liars.
[224] And as to the poets, those who go astray follow them.
[225] Do you not see that they wander about bewildered in every valley?
[226] And that they say that which they do not do,
[227] Except those who believe and do good and remember Allah much, and defend themselves after they are oppressed; and they who act unjustly shall know to what final place of turning they shall turn back.
