Quran - Chapter 26

Ta-Sin-Mim. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Quran, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings.]
QURAN 26:1
These are the Verses of the manifest Book [this Quran, which was promised by Allah in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), makes things clear].
QURAN 26:2
It may be that you (O Muhammad SAW) are going to kill yourself with grief, that they do not become believers [in your Risalah (Messengership) and in your Message of Islamic Monotheism].
QURAN 26:3
If We will, We could send down to them from the heaven a sign, to which they would bend their necks in humility.
QURAN 26:4
And never comes there unto them a Reminder as a recent revelation from the Most Beneficent (Allah), but they turn away therefrom.
QURAN 26:5
So they have indeed denied (the truth - this Quran), then the news of what they mocked at, will come to them.
QURAN 26:6
Do they not observe the earth, how much of every good kind We cause to grow therein?
QURAN 26:7
Verily, in this is an Ayah (proof or sign), yet most of them (polytheists, pagans, etc., who do not believe in Resurrection) are not believers.
QURAN 26:8
And verily, your Lord! He is truly the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
QURAN 26:9
And (remember) when your Lord called Musa (Moses) (saying): "Go to the people who are Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doing),
QURAN 26:10
The people of Fir'aun (Pharaoh). Will they not fear Allah and become righteous?"
QURAN 26:11
He said: "My Lord! Verily, I fear that they will belie me,
QURAN 26:12
"And my breast straitens, and my tongue expresses not well. So send for Harun (Aaron) (to come along with me).
QURAN 26:13
"And they have a charge of crime against me, and I fear they will kill me."
QURAN 26:14
Allah said: "Nay! Go you both with Our Signs. Verily! We shall be with you, listening.
QURAN 26:15
"And when you both come to Fir'aun (Pharaoh), say: 'We are the Messengers of the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists),
QURAN 26:16
"So allow the Children of Israel to go with us.' "
QURAN 26:17
[Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said [to Musa (Moses)]: "Did we not bring you up among us as a child? And you did dwell many years of your life with us.
QURAN 26:18
"And you did your deed, which you did (i.e. the crime of killing a man). And you are one of the ingrates."
QURAN 26:19
Musa (Moses) said: "I did it then, when I was an ignorant (as regards my Lord and His Message).
QURAN 26:20
"So I fled from you when I feared you. But my Lord has granted me Hukman (i.e. religious knowledge, right judgement of the affairs and Prophethood), and appointed me as one of the Messengers.
QURAN 26:21
"And this is the past favour with which you reproach me, that you have enslaved the Children of Israel."
QURAN 26:22
Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said: "And what is the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists)?"
QURAN 26:23
Musa (Moses) said: "Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, if you seek to be convinced with certainty."
QURAN 26:24
Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said to those around: "Do you not hear (what he says)?"
QURAN 26:25
Musa (Moses) said: "Your Lord and the Lord of your ancient fathers!"
QURAN 26:26
Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said: "Verily, your Messenger who has been sent to you is a madman!"
QURAN 26:27
Musa (Moses) said: "Lord of the east and the west, and all that is between them, if you did but understand!"
QURAN 26:28
Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said: "If you choose an ilah (god) other than me, I will certainly put you among the prisoners."
QURAN 26:29
Musa (Moses) said: "Even if I bring you something manifest (and convincing)?"
QURAN 26:30
Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said: "Bring it forth then, if you are of the truthful!"
QURAN 26:31
So [Musa (Moses)] threw his stick, and behold, it was a serpent, manifest.
QURAN 26:32
And he drew out his hand, and behold, it was white to all beholders!
QURAN 26:33
[Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said to the chiefs around him: "Verily! This is indeed a well-versed sorcerer.
QURAN 26:34
"He wants to drive you out of your land by his sorcery, then what is it your counsel, and what do you command?"
QURAN 26:35
They said: "Put him off and his brother (for a while), and send callers to the cities
QURAN 26:36
"To bring up to you every well-versed sorcerer."
QURAN 26:37
So the sorcerers were assembled at a fixed time on a day appointed.
QURAN 26:38
And it was said to the people: "Are you (too) going to assemble?
QURAN 26:39
"That we may follow the sorcerers [who were on Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) religion of disbelief] if they are the winners."
QURAN 26:40
So when the sorcerers arrived, they said to Fir'aun (Pharaoh): "Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners?"
QURAN 26:41
He said: "Yes, and you shall then verily be of those brought near (to myself)."
QURAN 26:42
Musa (Moses) said to them: "Throw what you are going to throw!"
QURAN 26:43
So they threw their ropes and their sticks, and said: "By the might of Fir'aun (Pharaoh), it is we who will certainly win!"
QURAN 26:44
Then Musa (Moses) threw his stick, and behold, it swallowed up all the falsehoods which they showed!
QURAN 26:45
And the sorcerers fell down prostrate.
QURAN 26:46
Saying: "We believe in the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
QURAN 26:47
"The Lord of Musa (Moses) and Harun (Aaron)."
QURAN 26:48
[Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "You have believed in him before I give you leave. Surely, he indeed is your chief, who has taught you magic! So verily, you shall come to know. Verily, I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you all."
QURAN 26:49
They said: "No harm! Surely, to our Lord (Allah) we are to return;
QURAN 26:50
"Verily! We really hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins, as we are the first of the believers [in Musa (Moses) and in the Monotheism which he has brought from Allah]."
QURAN 26:51
And We inspired Musa (Moses), saying: "Take away My slaves by night, verily, you will be pursued."
QURAN 26:52
Then Fir'aun (Pharaoh) sent callers to (all) the cities.
QURAN 26:53
(Saying): "Verily! These indeed are but a small band.
QURAN 26:54
"And verily, they have done what has enraged us;
QURAN 26:55
"But we are host all assembled, amply fore-warned."
QURAN 26:56
So, We expelled them from gardens and springs,
QURAN 26:57
Treasures, and every kind of honourable place.
QURAN 26:58
Thus [We turned them (Pharaoh's people) out] and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them.
QURAN 26:59
So they pursued them at sunrise.
QURAN 26:60
And when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Musa (Moses) said: "We are sure to be overtaken."
QURAN 26:61
[Musa (Moses)] said: "Nay, verily! With me is my Lord, He will guide me."
QURAN 26:62
Then We inspired Musa (Moses) (saying): "Strike the sea with your stick." And it parted, and each separate part (of that sea water) became like the huge, firm mass of a mountain.
QURAN 26:63
Then We brought near the others [Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) party] to that place.
QURAN 26:64
And We saved Musa (Moses) and all those with him.
QURAN 26:65
Then We drowned the others.
QURAN 26:66
Verily! In this is indeed a sign (or a proof), yet most of them are not believers.
QURAN 26:67
And verily, your Lord! He is truly the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
QURAN 26:68
And recite to them the story of Ibrahim (Abraham).
QURAN 26:69
When he said to his father and his people: "What do you worship?"
QURAN 26:70
They said: "We worship idols, and to them we are ever devoted."
QURAN 26:71
He said: "Do they hear you, when you call (on them)?
QURAN 26:72
"Or do they benefit you or do they harm (you)?"
QURAN 26:73
They said: "Nay, but we found our fathers doing so."
QURAN 26:74
He said: "Do you observe that which you have been worshipping,
QURAN 26:75
"You and your ancient fathers?
QURAN 26:76
"Verily! They are enemies to me, save the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists);
QURAN 26:77
"Who has created me, and it is He Who guides me;
QURAN 26:78
"And it is He Who feeds me and gives me to drink.
QURAN 26:79
"And when I am ill, it is He who cures me.
QURAN 26:80
"And Who will cause me to die, and then will bring me to life (again);
QURAN 26:81
"And Who, I hope will forgive me my faults on the Day of Recompense, (the Day of Resurrection),"
QURAN 26:82
My Lord! Bestow Hukman (religious knowledge, right judgement of the affairs and Prophethood) on me, and join me with the righteous;
QURAN 26:83
And grant me an honourable mention in later generations;
QURAN 26:84
And make me one of the inheritors of the Paradise of Delight;
QURAN 26:85
And forgive my father, verily he is of the erring;
QURAN 26:86
And disgrace me not on the Day when (all the creatures) will be resurrected;
QURAN 26:87
The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail,
QURAN 26:88
Except him who brings to Allah a clean heart [clean from Shirk (polytheism) and Nifaq (hypocrisy)].
QURAN 26:89
And Paradise will be brought near to the Muttaqun (pious - see V. 2:2).
QURAN 26:90
And the (Hell) Fire will be placed in full view of the erring.
QURAN 26:91
And it will be said to them: "Where are those (the false gods whom you used to set up as rivals with Allah) that you used to worship
QURAN 26:92
"Instead of Allah? Can they help you or (even) help themselves?"
QURAN 26:93
Then they will be thrown on their faces into the (Fire), They and the Ghawun (devils, and those who were in error).
QURAN 26:94
And the whole hosts of Iblis (Satan) together.
QURAN 26:95
They will say while contending therein,
QURAN 26:96
By Allah, we were truly in a manifest error,
QURAN 26:97
When We held you (false gods) as equals (in worship) with the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists);
QURAN 26:98
And none has brought us into error except the Mujrimun [Iblis (Satan) and those of human beings who commit crimes, murderers, polytheists, oppressors, etc.].
QURAN 26:99
Now we have no intercessors,
QURAN 26:100
Nor a close friend (to help us).
QURAN 26:101
(Alas!) If we only had a chance to return (to the world), we shall truly be among the believers!
QURAN 26:102
Verily! In this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
QURAN 26:103
And verily, your Lord! He is truly the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
QURAN 26:104
The people of Nuh (Noah) belied the Messengers.
QURAN 26:105
When their brother Nuh (Noah) said to them: "Will you not fear Allah and obey Him?
QURAN 26:106
"I am a trustworthy Messenger to you.
QURAN 26:107
"So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me.
QURAN 26:108
"No reward do I ask of you for it (my Message of Islamic Monotheism), my reward is only from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
QURAN 26:109
"So keep your duty to Allah, fear Him and obey me."
QURAN 26:110
They said: "Shall we believe in you, when the meanest (of the people) follow you?"
QURAN 26:111
He said: "And what knowledge have I of what they used to do?
QURAN 26:112
"Their account is only with my Lord, if you could (but) know.
QURAN 26:113
"And I am not going to drive away the believers.
QURAN 26:114
I am only a plain warner."
QURAN 26:115
They said: "If you cease not, O Nuh (Noah)! You will surely be among those stoned (to death)."
QURAN 26:116
He said: "My Lord! Verily, my people have belied me.
QURAN 26:117
Therefore judge You between me and them, and save me and those of the believers who are with me."
QURAN 26:118
And We saved him and those with him in the laden ship.
QURAN 26:119
Then We drowned the rest (disbelievers) thereafter.
QURAN 26:120
Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
QURAN 26:121
And verily! Your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
QURAN 26:122
'Ad (people) belied the Messengers.
QURAN 26:123
When their brother Hud said to them: "Will you not fear Allah and obey Him?
QURAN 26:124
"Verily! I am a trustworthy Messenger to you.
QURAN 26:125
"So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me.
QURAN 26:126
"No reward do I ask of you for it (my Message of Islamic Monotheism), my reward is only from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns, and all that exists).
QURAN 26:127
"Do you build high palaces on every high place, while you do not live in them?
QURAN 26:128
"And do you get for yourselves palaces (fine buildings) as if you will live therein for ever.
QURAN 26:129
"And when you seize, seize you as tyrants?
QURAN 26:130
"So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me.
QURAN 26:131
"And keep your duty to Him, fear Him Who has aided you with all (good things) that you know.
QURAN 26:132
"He has aided you with cattle and children.
QURAN 26:133
"And gardens and springs.
QURAN 26:134
"Verily, I fear for you the torment of a Great Day."
QURAN 26:135
They said: "It is the same to us whether you preach or be not of those who preach.
QURAN 26:136
"This is no other than the false-tales and religion of the ancients, [Tafsir At-Tabari, Vol. 19, Page 97]
QURAN 26:137
"And we are not going to be punished."
QURAN 26:138
So they belied him, and We destroyed them. Verily! In this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
QURAN 26:139
And verily! Your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
QURAN 26:140
Thamud (people) belied the Messenger.
QURAN 26:141
When their brother Salih (Saleh) said to them: "Will you not fear Allah and obey Him?
QURAN 26:142
"I am a trustworthy Messenger to you.
QURAN 26:143
"So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me.
QURAN 26:144
"No reward do I ask of you for it (my Message of Islamic Monotheism), my reward is only from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
QURAN 26:145
"Will you be left secure in that which you have here?
QURAN 26:146
"In gardens and springs.
QURAN 26:147
And green crops (fields etc.) and date-palms with soft spadix.
QURAN 26:148
"And you carve houses out of mountains with great skill.
QURAN 26:149
"So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me.
QURAN 26:150
"And follow not the command of Al-Musrifun [i.e. their chiefs, leaders who were polytheists, criminals and sinners],
QURAN 26:151
"Who make mischief in the land, and reform not."
QURAN 26:152
They said: "You are only of those bewitched!
QURAN 26:153
"You are but a human being like us. Then bring us a sign if you are of the truthful."
QURAN 26:154
He said: "Here is a she-camel; it has a right to drink (water), and you have a right to drink (water) (each) on a day, known.
QURAN 26:155
"And touch her not with harm, lest the torment of a Great Day seize you."
QURAN 26:156
But they killed her, and then they became regretful.
QURAN 26:157
So the torment overtook them. Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
QURAN 26:158
And verily! Your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
QURAN 26:159
The prople of Lout (Lot) (those dwelt in the towns of Sodom in Palestine) belied the Messengers.
QURAN 26:160
When their brother Lout (Lot) said to them: "Will you not fear Allah and obey Him?
QURAN 26:161
"Verily! I am a trustworthy Messenger to you.
QURAN 26:162
"So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me.
QURAN 26:163
"No reward do I ask of you for it (my Message of Islamic Monotheism), my reward is only from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
QURAN 26:164
"Go you in unto the males of the 'Alamin (mankind),
QURAN 26:165
"And leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your wives? Nay, you are a trespassing people!"
QURAN 26:166
They said: "If you cease not. O Lout (Lot)! Verily, you will be one of those who are driven out!"
QURAN 26:167
He said: "I am, indeed, of those who disapprove with severe anger and fury your (this evil) action (of sodomy).
QURAN 26:168
"My Lord! Save me and my family from what they do."
QURAN 26:169
So We saved him and his family, all,
QURAN 26:170
Except an old woman (his wife) among those who remained behind.
QURAN 26:171
Then afterward We destroyed the others.
QURAN 26:172
And We rained on them a rain (of torment). And how evil was the rain of those who had been warned.
QURAN 26:173
Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
QURAN 26:174
And verily! Your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
QURAN 26:175
The dwellers of Al-Aiyka [near Madyan (Midian)] belied the Messengers.
QURAN 26:176
When Shu'aib (Shuaib) said to them: "Will you not fear Allah (and obey Him)?
QURAN 26:177
"I am a trustworthy Messenger to you.
QURAN 26:178
"So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me.
QURAN 26:179
"No reward do I ask of you for it (my Message of Islamic Monotheism), my reward is only from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
QURAN 26:180
"Give full measure, and cause no loss (to others).
QURAN 26:181
"And weigh with the true and straight balance.
QURAN 26:182
"And defraud not people by reducing their things, nor do evil, making corruption and mischief in the land.
QURAN 26:183
"And fear Him Who created you and the generations of the men of old."
QURAN 26:184
They said: "You are only one of those bewitched!
QURAN 26:185
"You are but a human being like us and verily, we think that you are one of the liars!
QURAN 26:186
"So cause a piece of the heaven to fall on us, if you are of the truthful!"
QURAN 26:187
He said: "My Lord is the Best Knower of what you do."
QURAN 26:188
But they belied him, so the torment of the day of shadow (a gloomy cloud) seized them, indeed that was the torment of a Great Day.
QURAN 26:189
Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
QURAN 26:190
And verily! Your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
QURAN 26:191
And truly, this (the Quran) is a revelation from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists),
QURAN 26:192
Which the trustworthy Ruh [Jibrael (Gabriel)] has brought down;
QURAN 26:193
Upon your heart (O Muhammad SAW) that you may be (one) of the warners,
QURAN 26:194
In the plain Arabic language.
QURAN 26:195
And verily, it (the Quran, and its revelation to Prophet Muhammad SAW) is (announced) in the Scriptures [i.e. the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] of former people.
QURAN 26:196
Is it not a sign to them that the learned scholars (like 'Abdullah bin Salam who embraced Islam) of the Children of Israel knew it (as true)?
QURAN 26:197
And if We had revealed it (this Quran) unto any of the non-Arabs,
QURAN 26:198
And he had recited it unto them, they would not have believed in it.
QURAN 26:199
Thus have We caused it (the denial of the Quran) to enter the hearts of the Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists, sinners, etc.).
QURAN 26:200
They will not believe in it until they see the painful torment;
QURAN 26:201
It shall come to them of a sudden, while they perceive it not;
QURAN 26:202
Then they will say: "Can we be respited?"
QURAN 26:203
Would they then wish for Our Torment to be hastened on?
QURAN 26:204
Tell Me, if We do let them enjoy for years,
QURAN 26:205
And afterwards comes to them that (punishment) which they had been promised!
QURAN 26:206
All that with which they used to enjoy shall not avail them.
QURAN 26:207
And never did We destroy a township, but it had its warners
QURAN 26:208
By way of reminder, and We have never been unjust.
QURAN 26:209
And it is not the Shayatin (devils) who have brought it (this Quran) down,
QURAN 26:210
Neither would it suit them, nor they can (produce it).
QURAN 26:211
Verily, they have been removed far from hearing it.
QURAN 26:212
So invoke not with Allah another ilah (god) lest you be among those who receive punishment.
QURAN 26:213
And warn your tribe (O Muhammad SAW) of near kindred.
QURAN 26:214
And be kind and humble to the believers who follow you.
QURAN 26:215
Then if they disobey you, say: "I am innocent of what you do."
QURAN 26:216
And put your trust in the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful,
QURAN 26:217
Who sees you (O Muhammad SAW) when you stand up (alone at night for Tahajjud prayers).
QURAN 26:218
And your movements among those who fall prostrate (along with you to Allah in the five compulsory congregational prayers).
QURAN 26:219
Verily! He, only He, is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.
QURAN 26:220
Shall I inform you (O people!) upon whom the Shayatin (devils) descend?
QURAN 26:221
They descend on every lying (one who tells lies), sinful person.
QURAN 26:222
Who gives ear (to the devils and they pour what they may have heard of the unseen from the angels), and most of them are liars.
QURAN 26:223
As for the poets, the erring follow them,
QURAN 26:224
See you not that they speak about every subject (praising others right or wrong) in their poetry?
QURAN 26:225
And that they say what they do not do.
QURAN 26:226
Except those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism), and do righteous deeds, and remember Allah much, and reply back (in poetry) to the unjust poetry (which the pagan poets utter against the Muslims). And those who do wrong will come to know by what overturning they will be overturned.
