Shakir, Surah 26: The Poets (Ash-Shu'araa)

Surahs

[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.
