بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمٰنِ الرَّحيمِ

In the name of The God, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

Ash-Shuara 26:1

طسم

Ta, Sin, Mim.

Ash-Shuara 26:2

تِلكَ ءايٰتُ الكِتٰبِ المُبينِ

These are the verses of the clarifying Book.

Ash-Shuara 26:3

لَعَلَّكَ بٰخِعٌ نَفسَكَ أَلّا يَكونوا مُؤمِنينَ

Perhaps you would destroy yourself with grief because they do not become believers.

Ash-Shuara 26:4

إِن نَشَأ نُنَزِّل عَلَيهِم مِنَ السَّماءِ ءايَةً فَظَلَّت أَعنٰقُهُم لَها خٰضِعينَ

If We will, We can send down a sign upon them from the sky, before which their necks would remain bowed.

Ash-Shuara 26:5

وَما يَأتيهِم مِن ذِكرٍ مِنَ الرَّحمٰنِ مُحدَثٍ إِلّا كانوا عَنهُ مُعرِضينَ

No fresh reminder comes to them from the Entirely Merciful without their turning away from it.

Ash-Shuara 26:6

فَقَد كَذَّبوا فَسَيَأتيهِم أَنبٰؤُا۟ ما كانوا بِهِ يَستَهزِءونَ

They have denied; so the news of what they used to mock will reach them.

Ash-Shuara 26:7

أَوَلَم يَرَوا إِلَى الأَرضِ كَم أَنبَتنا فيها مِن كُلِّ زَوجٍ كَريمٍ

Have they not looked at the earth, how much of every fine kind We have grown in it?

Ash-Shuara 26:8

إِنَّ فى ذٰلِكَ لَـٔايَةً ۖ وَما كانَ أَكثَرُهُم مُؤمِنينَ

There is indeed a sign in this; yet most of them were not believers.

Ash-Shuara 26:9

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ العَزيزُ الرَّحيمُ

And indeed your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.

Ash-Shuara 26:10

وَإِذ نادىٰ رَبُّكَ موسىٰ أَنِ ائتِ القَومَ الظّٰلِمينَ

And when your Lord called Moses: Go to the wrongdoing people,

Ash-Shuara 26:11

قَومَ فِرعَونَ ۚ أَلا يَتَّقونَ

The people of Pharaoh. Will they not be mindful?

Ash-Shuara 26:12

قالَ رَبِّ إِنّى أَخافُ أَن يُكَذِّبونِ

He said: My Lord, I fear they will deny me.

Ash-Shuara 26:13

وَيَضيقُ صَدرى وَلا يَنطَلِقُ لِسانى فَأَرسِل إِلىٰ هٰرونَ

My chest tightens and my tongue does not speak freely, so send to Aaron.

Ash-Shuara 26:14

وَلَهُم عَلَىَّ ذَنبٌ فَأَخافُ أَن يَقتُلونِ

And they have a charge against me, so I fear they will kill me.

Ash-Shuara 26:15

قالَ كَلّا ۖ فَاذهَبا بِـٔايٰتِنا ۖ إِنّا مَعَكُم مُستَمِعونَ

He said: No indeed. Go, both of you, with Our signs. We are with you, listening.

Ash-Shuara 26:16

فَأتِيا فِرعَونَ فَقولا إِنّا رَسولُ رَبِّ العٰلَمينَ

Go to Pharaoh and say: We are the messenger of the Lord of all worlds,

Ash-Shuara 26:17

أَن أَرسِل مَعَنا بَنى إِسرٰءيلَ

That you should send the Children of Israel with us.

Ash-Shuara 26:18

قالَ أَلَم نُرَبِّكَ فينا وَليدًا وَلَبِثتَ فينا مِن عُمُرِكَ سِنينَ

He said: Did we not raise you among us as a child, and did you not stay among us for years of your life?

Ash-Shuara 26:19

وَفَعَلتَ فَعلَتَكَ الَّتى فَعَلتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ الكٰفِرينَ

And you did that deed of yours which you did, and you were among the ungrateful.

Ash-Shuara 26:20

قالَ فَعَلتُها إِذًا وَأَنا۠ مِنَ الضّالّينَ

He said: I did it then, when I was among those astray.

Ash-Shuara 26:21

فَفَرَرتُ مِنكُم لَمّا خِفتُكُم فَوَهَبَ لى رَبّى حُكمًا وَجَعَلَنى مِنَ المُرسَلينَ

So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me judgment and made me one of the messengers.

Ash-Shuara 26:22

وَتِلكَ نِعمَةٌ تَمُنُّها عَلَىَّ أَن عَبَّدتَ بَنى إِسرٰءيلَ

And is this a favor you hold over me, that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?

Ash-Shuara 26:23

قالَ فِرعَونُ وَما رَبُّ العٰلَمينَ

Pharaoh said: And what is the Lord of all worlds?

Ash-Shuara 26:24

قالَ رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالأَرضِ وَما بَينَهُما ۖ إِن كُنتُم موقِنينَ

He said: The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you have certainty.

Ash-Shuara 26:25

قالَ لِمَن حَولَهُ أَلا تَستَمِعونَ

He said to those around him: Do you not hear?

Ash-Shuara 26:26

قالَ رَبُّكُم وَرَبُّ ءابائِكُمُ الأَوَّلينَ

He said: Your Lord and the Lord of your earliest fathers.

Ash-Shuara 26:27

قالَ إِنَّ رَسولَكُمُ الَّذى أُرسِلَ إِلَيكُم لَمَجنونٌ

He said: This messenger of yours who has been sent to you is surely mad.

Ash-Shuara 26:28

قالَ رَبُّ المَشرِقِ وَالمَغرِبِ وَما بَينَهُما ۖ إِن كُنتُم تَعقِلونَ

He said: The Lord of the east and the west and what is between them, if you use reason.

Ash-Shuara 26:29

قالَ لَئِنِ اتَّخَذتَ إِلٰهًا غَيرى لَأَجعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ المَسجونينَ

He said: If you take a god other than me, I will certainly make you one of the prisoners.

Ash-Shuara 26:30

قالَ أَوَلَو جِئتُكَ بِشَىءٍ مُبينٍ

He said: Even if I bring you something clear?

Ash-Shuara 26:31

قالَ فَأتِ بِهِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقينَ

He said: Then bring it, if you are truthful.

Ash-Shuara 26:32

فَأَلقىٰ عَصاهُ فَإِذا هِىَ ثُعبانٌ مُبينٌ

So he threw down his staff, and there it was, a clear serpent.

Ash-Shuara 26:33

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُ فَإِذا هِىَ بَيضاءُ لِلنّٰظِرينَ

And he drew out his hand, and there it was, white to those watching.

Ash-Shuara 26:34

قالَ لِلمَلَإِ حَولَهُ إِنَّ هٰذا لَسٰحِرٌ عَليمٌ

He said to the chiefs around him: This is surely a knowledgeable sorcerer.

Ash-Shuara 26:35

يُريدُ أَن يُخرِجَكُم مِن أَرضِكُم بِسِحرِهِ فَماذا تَأمُرونَ

He wants to drive you out of your land through his sorcery. So what do you advise?

Ash-Shuara 26:36

قالوا أَرجِه وَأَخاهُ وَابعَث فِى المَدائِنِ حٰشِرينَ

They said: Give him and his brother time, and send gatherers to the cities,

Ash-Shuara 26:37

يَأتوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحّارٍ عَليمٍ

To bring you every knowledgeable sorcerer.

Ash-Shuara 26:38

فَجُمِعَ السَّحَرَةُ لِميقٰتِ يَومٍ مَعلومٍ

So the sorcerers were gathered for the appointed time of a known day.

Ash-Shuara 26:39

وَقيلَ لِلنّاسِ هَل أَنتُم مُجتَمِعونَ

And the people were told: Will you gather,

Ash-Shuara 26:40

لَعَلَّنا نَتَّبِعُ السَّحَرَةَ إِن كانوا هُمُ الغٰلِبينَ

So that we may follow the sorcerers if they are the victors?

Ash-Shuara 26:41

فَلَمّا جاءَ السَّحَرَةُ قالوا لِفِرعَونَ أَئِنَّ لَنا لَأَجرًا إِن كُنّا نَحنُ الغٰلِبينَ

When the sorcerers came, they said to Pharaoh: Will we have a reward if we are the victors?

Ash-Shuara 26:42

قالَ نَعَم وَإِنَّكُم إِذًا لَمِنَ المُقَرَّبينَ

He said: Yes, and then you will certainly be among those brought near.

Ash-Shuara 26:43

قالَ لَهُم موسىٰ أَلقوا ما أَنتُم مُلقونَ

Moses said to them: Throw whatever you are going to throw.

Ash-Shuara 26:44

فَأَلقَوا حِبالَهُم وَعِصِيَّهُم وَقالوا بِعِزَّةِ فِرعَونَ إِنّا لَنَحنُ الغٰلِبونَ

So they threw their ropes and staffs and said: By Pharaoh’s might, we will surely be the victors.

Ash-Shuara 26:45

فَأَلقىٰ موسىٰ عَصاهُ فَإِذا هِىَ تَلقَفُ ما يَأفِكونَ

Then Moses threw his staff, and it began swallowing what they fabricated.

Ash-Shuara 26:46

فَأُلقِىَ السَّحَرَةُ سٰجِدينَ

Then the sorcerers fell down in prostration.

Ash-Shuara 26:47

قالوا ءامَنّا بِرَبِّ العٰلَمينَ

They said: We believe in the Lord of all worlds,

Ash-Shuara 26:48

رَبِّ موسىٰ وَهٰرونَ

The Lord of Moses and Aaron.

Ash-Shuara 26:49

قالَ ءامَنتُم لَهُ قَبلَ أَن ءاذَنَ لَكُم ۖ إِنَّهُ لَكَبيرُكُمُ الَّذى عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحرَ فَلَسَوفَ تَعلَمونَ ۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيدِيَكُم وَأَرجُلَكُم مِن خِلٰفٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُم أَجمَعينَ

He said: You believed in him before I gave you permission? He is surely your chief who taught you sorcery. You will soon know. I will certainly cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and crucify you all.

Ash-Shuara 26:50

قالوا لا ضَيرَ ۖ إِنّا إِلىٰ رَبِّنا مُنقَلِبونَ

They said: No harm. We are returning to our Lord.

Ash-Shuara 26:51

إِنّا نَطمَعُ أَن يَغفِرَ لَنا رَبُّنا خَطٰيٰنا أَن كُنّا أَوَّلَ المُؤمِنينَ

We hope that our Lord will forgive our faults, since we were the first believers.

Ash-Shuara 26:52

وَأَوحَينا إِلىٰ موسىٰ أَن أَسرِ بِعِبادى إِنَّكُم مُتَّبَعونَ

And We revealed to Moses: Travel by night with My servants; you will be pursued.

Ash-Shuara 26:53

فَأَرسَلَ فِرعَونُ فِى المَدائِنِ حٰشِرينَ

Then Pharaoh sent gatherers to the cities.

Ash-Shuara 26:54

إِنَّ هٰؤُلاءِ لَشِرذِمَةٌ قَليلونَ

These are but a small band,

Ash-Shuara 26:55

وَإِنَّهُم لَنا لَغائِظونَ

And they have enraged us,

Ash-Shuara 26:56

وَإِنّا لَجَميعٌ حٰذِرونَ

And we are all on our guard.

Ash-Shuara 26:57

فَأَخرَجنٰهُم مِن جَنّٰتٍ وَعُيونٍ

So We brought them out of gardens and springs,

Ash-Shuara 26:58

وَكُنوزٍ وَمَقامٍ كَريمٍ

And treasures and an honorable station.

Ash-Shuara 26:59

كَذٰلِكَ وَأَورَثنٰها بَنى إِسرٰءيلَ

Thus it was; and We gave them as an inheritance to the Children of Israel.

Ash-Shuara 26:60

فَأَتبَعوهُم مُشرِقينَ

Then they pursued them at sunrise.

Ash-Shuara 26:61

فَلَمّا تَرٰءَا الجَمعانِ قالَ أَصحٰبُ موسىٰ إِنّا لَمُدرَكونَ

When the two groups saw each other, Moses’ companions said: We will surely be overtaken.

Ash-Shuara 26:62

قالَ كَلّا ۖ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبّى سَيَهدينِ

He said: No indeed. My Lord is with me; He will guide me.

Ash-Shuara 26:63

فَأَوحَينا إِلىٰ موسىٰ أَنِ اضرِب بِعَصاكَ البَحرَ ۖ فَانفَلَقَ فَكانَ كُلُّ فِرقٍ كَالطَّودِ العَظيمِ

Then We revealed to Moses: Strike the sea with your staff. So it split, and each part was like a great mountain.

Ash-Shuara 26:64

وَأَزلَفنا ثَمَّ الـٔاخَرينَ

And We brought the others near there.

Ash-Shuara 26:65

وَأَنجَينا موسىٰ وَمَن مَعَهُ أَجمَعينَ

And We saved Moses and all those with him.

Ash-Shuara 26:66

ثُمَّ أَغرَقنَا الـٔاخَرينَ

Then We drowned the others.

Ash-Shuara 26:67

إِنَّ فى ذٰلِكَ لَـٔايَةً ۖ وَما كانَ أَكثَرُهُم مُؤمِنينَ

Ash-Shuara 26:71

قالوا نَعبُدُ أَصنامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَها عٰكِفينَ

They said: We worship idols and remain devoted to them.

Ash-Shuara 26:72

قالَ هَل يَسمَعونَكُم إِذ تَدعونَ

He said: Do they hear you when you call,

Ash-Shuara 26:73

أَو يَنفَعونَكُم أَو يَضُرّونَ

Or benefit you or harm you?

Ash-Shuara 26:74

قالوا بَل وَجَدنا ءاباءَنا كَذٰلِكَ يَفعَلونَ

They said: Rather, we found our fathers doing so.

Ash-Shuara 26:75

قالَ أَفَرَءَيتُم ما كُنتُم تَعبُدونَ

He said: Have you considered what you have been worshipping,

Ash-Shuara 26:76

أَنتُم وَءاباؤُكُمُ الأَقدَمونَ

You and your earliest fathers?

Ash-Shuara 26:77

فَإِنَّهُم عَدُوٌّ لى إِلّا رَبَّ العٰلَمينَ

They are enemies to me, except the Lord of all worlds,

Ash-Shuara 26:78

الَّذى خَلَقَنى فَهُوَ يَهدينِ

وَالَّذى يُميتُنى ثُمَّ يُحيينِ

And who causes me to die, then brings me to life,

Ash-Shuara 26:92

وَقيلَ لَهُم أَينَ ما كُنتُم تَعبُدونَ

And they are told: Where is what you used to worship,

Ash-Shuara 26:93

مِن دونِ اللَّهِ هَل يَنصُرونَكُم أَو يَنتَصِرونَ

Apart from The God? Do they help you, or help themselves?

Then they are tumbled into it, they and those astray,

Ash-Shuara 26:95

وَجُنودُ إِبليسَ أَجمَعونَ

Ash-Shuara 26:97

تَاللَّهِ إِن كُنّا لَفى ضَلٰلٍ مُبينٍ

By The God, we were in clear error,

Ash-Shuara 26:98

إِذ نُسَوّيكُم بِرَبِّ العٰلَمينَ

When we equated you with the Lord of all worlds.

Ash-Shuara 26:99

So we have no intercessors,

Ash-Shuara 26:101

Ash-Shuara 26:147

فى جَنّٰتٍ وَعُيونٍ

وَزُروعٍ وَنَخلٍ طَلعُها هَضيمٌ

And crops and date palms whose spathes are tender?

Ash-Shuara 26:149

وَتَنحِتونَ مِنَ الجِبالِ بُيوتًا فٰرِهينَ

And you skillfully carve houses out of the mountains.

Ash-Shuara 26:150

ما أَنتَ إِلّا بَشَرٌ مِثلُنا فَأتِ بِـٔايَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقينَ

You are only a human like us. So bring a sign if you are truthful.

Ash-Shuara 26:155

قالَ هٰذِهِ ناقَةٌ لَها شِربٌ وَلَكُم شِربُ يَومٍ مَعلومٍ

He said: This is a she-camel. She has a share of water, and you have a share of water on a known day.

Then they hamstrung her and became regretful.

Ash-Shuara 26:158

أَتَأتونَ الذُّكرانَ مِنَ العٰلَمينَ

Do you approach males among all peoples,

Ash-Shuara 26:166

وَتَذَرونَ ما خَلَقَ لَكُم رَبُّكُم مِن أَزوٰجِكُم ۚ بَل أَنتُم قَومٌ عادونَ

And leave what your Lord created for you of your spouses? Rather, you are a transgressing people.

رَبِّ نَجِّنى وَأَهلى مِمّا يَعمَلونَ

Ash-Shuara 26:170

فَنَجَّينٰهُ وَأَهلَهُ أَجمَعينَ

Ash-Shuara 26:171

Ash-Shuara 26:172

ثُمَّ دَمَّرنَا الـٔاخَرينَ

Ash-Shuara 26:173

وَأَمطَرنا عَلَيهِم مَطَرًا ۖ فَساءَ مَطَرُ المُنذَرينَ

And We rained a rain upon them. How evil was the rain of those who had been warned.

Ash-Shuara 26:189

So they denied him, and the punishment of the day of the canopy seized them. It was indeed the punishment of a tremendous day.

Ash-Shuara 26:190

إِنَّ فى ذٰلِكَ لَـٔايَةً ۖ وَما كانَ أَكثَرُهُم مُؤمِنينَ

Ash-Shuara 26:194

عَلىٰ قَلبِكَ لِتَكونَ مِنَ المُنذِرينَ

Upon your heart, so that you may be among the warners,

Ash-Shuara 26:195

بِلِسانٍ عَرَبِىٍّ مُبينٍ

In a clear Arabic tongue.

Ash-Shuara 26:196

وَإِنَّهُ لَفى زُبُرِ الأَوَّلينَ

And it is indeed in the scriptures of the earlier peoples.

Ash-Shuara 26:197

أَوَلَم يَكُن لَهُم ءايَةً أَن يَعلَمَهُ عُلَمٰؤُا۟ بَنى إِسرٰءيلَ

Was it not a sign for them that the scholars of the Children of Israel know it?

Ash-Shuara 26:198

وَلَو نَزَّلنٰهُ عَلىٰ بَعضِ الأَعجَمينَ

And had We sent it down upon one of the non-Arabic speakers,

Ash-Shuara 26:199

فَقَرَأَهُ عَلَيهِم ما كانوا بِهِ مُؤمِنينَ

And he recited it to them, they would not have believed in it.

Ash-Shuara 26:200

كَذٰلِكَ سَلَكنٰهُ فى قُلوبِ المُجرِمينَ

Thus We passed it into the hearts of the guilty.

Ash-Shuara 26:201

لا يُؤمِنونَ بِهِ حَتّىٰ يَرَوُا العَذابَ الأَليمَ

They do not believe in it until they see the painful punishment,

Ash-Shuara 26:202

فَيَأتِيَهُم بَغتَةً وَهُم لا يَشعُرونَ

Then it comes upon them suddenly, while they are unaware,

Ash-Shuara 26:203

فَيَقولوا هَل نَحنُ مُنظَرونَ

And they say: Will we be given time?

Ash-Shuara 26:204

أَفَبِعَذابِنا يَستَعجِلونَ

Do they then seek to hasten Our punishment?

Ash-Shuara 26:205

أَفَرَءَيتَ إِن مَتَّعنٰهُم سِنينَ

Have you considered, if We let them enjoy themselves for years,

Ash-Shuara 26:206

ثُمَّ جاءَهُم ما كانوا يوعَدونَ

Then what they were promised comes upon them,

Ash-Shuara 26:207

ما أَغنىٰ عَنهُم ما كانوا يُمَتَّعونَ

What they were allowed to enjoy will not avail them.

Ash-Shuara 26:208

وَما أَهلَكنا مِن قَريَةٍ إِلّا لَها مُنذِرونَ

And We destroyed no settlement without its having warners,

Ash-Shuara 26:209

ذِكرىٰ وَما كُنّا ظٰلِمينَ

As a reminder; and We were not unjust.

Ash-Shuara 26:210

وَما تَنَزَّلَت بِهِ الشَّيٰطينُ

And the devils did not bring it down.

Ash-Shuara 26:211

وَما يَنبَغى لَهُم وَما يَستَطيعونَ

It does not befit them, nor are they able.

Ash-Shuara 26:212

إِنَّهُم عَنِ السَّمعِ لَمَعزولونَ

They are indeed kept away from hearing.

Ash-Shuara 26:213

فَلا تَدعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلٰهًا ءاخَرَ فَتَكونَ مِنَ المُعَذَّبينَ

So do not call upon another god alongside The God, or you will be among those punished.

Ash-Shuara 26:214

وَأَنذِر عَشيرَتَكَ الأَقرَبينَ

And warn your nearest kin.

Ash-Shuara 26:215

وَاخفِض جَناحَكَ لِمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ المُؤمِنينَ

And lower your wing to the believers who follow you.

Ash-Shuara 26:216

فَإِن عَصَوكَ فَقُل إِنّى بَرىءٌ مِمّا تَعمَلونَ

Then if they disobey you, say: I am free of what you do.

Ash-Shuara 26:217

وَتَوَكَّل عَلَى العَزيزِ الرَّحيمِ

And rely upon the Mighty, the Merciful,

Ash-Shuara 26:218

الَّذى يَرىٰكَ حينَ تَقومُ

Who sees you when you stand,

Ash-Shuara 26:219

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى السّٰجِدينَ

And your movements among those who prostrate.

Ash-Shuara 26:220

إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّميعُ العَليمُ

He is indeed the Hearing, the Knowing.

Ash-Shuara 26:221

هَل أُنَبِّئُكُم عَلىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ الشَّيٰطينُ

Shall I tell you upon whom the devils descend?

Ash-Shuara 26:222

تَنَزَّلُ عَلىٰ كُلِّ أَفّاكٍ أَثيمٍ

They descend upon every sinful liar.

Ash-Shuara 26:223

يُلقونَ السَّمعَ وَأَكثَرُهُم كٰذِبونَ

They lend an ear, and most of them are liars.

Ash-Shuara 26:224

وَالشُّعَراءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الغاوۥنَ

And the poets are followed by those astray.

Ash-Shuara 26:225

أَلَم تَرَ أَنَّهُم فى كُلِّ وادٍ يَهيمونَ

Have you not seen that they wander in every valley,

Ash-Shuara 26:226

وَأَنَّهُم يَقولونَ ما لا يَفعَلونَ

And that they say what they do not do?

Ash-Shuara 26:227

إِلَّا الَّذينَ ءامَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ كَثيرًا وَانتَصَروا مِن بَعدِ ما ظُلِموا ۗ وَسَيَعلَمُ الَّذينَ ظَلَموا أَىَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبونَ

Except those who believe, do righteous deeds, remember The God often, and defend themselves after being wronged. And those who do wrong will soon know to what place of return they will return.
