Ash-Shu'araa

Translation

Ta, Seen, Meem.

Translation

These are the verses of the clear Book.

Translation

Perhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.

Translation

If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.

Translation

And no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.

Translation

For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule.

Translation

Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind?

Translation

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Translation

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Translation

And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people -

Translation

The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allah?"

Translation

He said, "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me

Translation

And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron.

Translation

And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me."

Translation

[Allah] said, "No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening.

Translation

Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds,

Translation

[Commanded to say], "Send with us the Children of Israel."'"

Translation

[Pharaoh] said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life?

Translation

And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful."

Translation

[Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray.

Translation

So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me wisdom and prophethood and appointed me [as one] of the messengers.

Translation

And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?"

Translation

Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds?"

Translation

[Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced."

Translation

[Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear?"

Translation

[Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers."

Translation

[Pharaoh] said, "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad."

Translation

[Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason."

Translation

[Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned."

Translation

[Moses] said, "Even if I brought you proof manifest?"

Translation

[Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful."

Translation

So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest.

Translation

And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers.

Translation

[Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician.

Translation

He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise?"

Translation

They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers

Translation

Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician."

Translation

So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day.

Translation

And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate

Translation

That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"

Translation

And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?"

Translation

He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]."

Translation

Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw."

Translation

So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant."

Translation

Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified.

Translation

So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah].

Translation

They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,

Translation

The Lord of Moses and Aaron."

Translation

[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."

Translation

They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return.

Translation

Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers."

Translation

And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued."

Translation

Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers

Translation

[And said], "Indeed, those are but a small band,

Translation

And indeed, they are enraging us,

Translation

And indeed, we are a cautious society... "

Translation

So We removed them from gardens and springs

Translation

And treasures and honorable station -

Translation

Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel.

Translation

So they pursued them at sunrise.

Translation

And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken!"

Translation

[Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me."

Translation

Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain.

Translation

And We advanced thereto the pursuers.

Translation

And We saved Moses and those with him, all together.

Translation

Then We drowned the others.

Translation

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Translation

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Translation

And recite to them the news of Abraham,

Translation

When he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?"

Translation

They said, "We worship idols and remain to them devoted."

Translation

He said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate?

Translation

Or do they benefit you, or do they harm?"

Translation

They said, "But we found our fathers doing thus."

Translation

He said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping,

Translation

You and your ancient forefathers?

Translation

Indeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds,

Translation

Who created me, and He [it is who] guides me.

Translation

And it is He who feeds me and gives me drink.

Translation

And when I am ill, it is He who cures me

Translation

And who will cause me to die and then bring me to life

Translation

And who I aspire that He will forgive me my sin on the Day of Recompense."

Translation

[And he said], "My Lord, grant me authority and join me with the righteous.

Translation

And grant me a reputation of honor among later generations.

Translation

And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Pleasure.

Translation

And forgive my father. Indeed, he has been of those astray.

Translation

And do not disgrace me on the Day they are [all] resurrected -

Translation

The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children

Translation

But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart."

Translation

And Paradise will be brought near [that Day] to the righteous.

Translation

And Hellfire will be brought forth for the deviators,

Translation

And it will be said to them, "Where are those you used to worship

Translation

Other than Allah? Can they help you or help themselves?"

Translation

So they will be overturned into Hellfire, they and the deviators

Translation

And the soldiers of Iblees, all together.

Translation

They will say while they dispute therein,

Translation

"By Allah, we were indeed in manifest error

Translation

When we equated you with the Lord of the worlds.

Translation

And no one misguided us except the criminals.

Translation

So now we have no intercessors

Translation

And not a devoted friend.

Translation

Then if we only had a return [to the world] and could be of the believers... "

Translation

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Translation

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Translation

The people of Noah denied the messengers

Translation

When their brother Noah said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

Translation

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

Translation

So fear Allah and obey me.

Translation

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

Translation

So fear Allah and obey me."

Translation

They said, "Should we believe you while you are followed by the lowest [class of people]?"

Translation

He said, "And what is my knowledge of what they used to do?

Translation

Their account is only upon my Lord, if you [could] perceive.

Translation

And I am not one to drive away the believers.

Translation

I am only a clear warner."

Translation

They said, "If you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be of those who are stoned."

Translation

He said, "My Lord, indeed my people have denied me.

Translation

Then judge between me and them with decisive judgement and save me and those with me of the believers."

Translation

So We saved him and those with him in the laden ship.

Translation

Then We drowned thereafter the remaining ones.

Translation

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Translation

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Translation

'Aad denied the messengers

Translation

When their brother Hud said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

Translation

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

Translation

So fear Allah and obey me.

Translation

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

Translation

Do you construct on every elevation a sign, amusing yourselves,

Translation

And take for yourselves palaces and fortresses that you might abide eternally?

Translation

And when you strike, you strike as tyrants.

Translation

So fear Allah and obey me.

Translation

And fear He who provided you with that which you know,

Translation

Provided you with grazing livestock and children

Translation

And gardens and springs.

Translation

Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day."

Translation

They said, "It is all the same to us whether you advise or are not of the advisors.

Translation

This is not but the custom of the former peoples,

Translation

And we are not to be punished."

Translation

And they denied him, so We destroyed them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Translation

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Translation

Thamud denied the messengers

Translation

When their brother Salih said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

Translation

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

Translation

So fear Allah and obey me.

Translation

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

Translation

Will you be left in what is here, secure [from death],

Translation

Within gardens and springs

Translation

And fields of crops and palm trees with softened fruit?

Translation

And you carve out of the mountains, homes, with skill.

Translation

So fear Allah and obey me.

Translation

And do not obey the order of the transgressors,

Translation

Who cause corruption in the land and do not amend."

Translation

They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.

Translation

You are but a man like ourselves, so bring a sign, if you should be of the truthful."

Translation

He 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.

Translation

And do not touch her with harm, lest you be seized by the punishment of a terrible day."

Translation

But they hamstrung her and so became regretful.

Translation

And the punishment seized them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Translation

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Translation

The people of Lot denied the messengers

Translation

When their brother Lot said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

Translation

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

Translation

So fear Allah and obey me.

Translation

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

Translation

Do you approach males among the worlds

Translation

And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing."

Translation

They said, "If you do not desist, O Lot, you will surely be of those evicted."

Translation

He said, "Indeed, I am, toward your deed, of those who detest [it].

Translation

My Lord, save me and my family from [the consequence of] what they do."

Translation

So We saved him and his family, all,

Translation

Except an old woman among those who remained behind.

Translation

Then We destroyed the others.

Translation

And We rained upon them a rain [of stones], and evil was the rain of those who were warned.

Translation

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Translation

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Translation

The companions of the thicket denied the messengers

Translation

When Shu'ayb said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

Translation

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

Translation

So fear Allah and obey me.

Translation

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

Translation

Give full measure and do not be of those who cause loss.

Translation

And weigh with an even balance.

Translation

And do not deprive people of their due and do not commit abuse on earth, spreading corruption.

Translation

And fear He who created you and the former creation."

Translation

They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.

Translation

You are but a man like ourselves, and indeed, we think you are among the liars.

Translation

So cause to fall upon us fragments of the sky, if you should be of the truthful."

Translation

He said, "My Lord is most knowing of what you do."

Translation

And they denied him, so the punishment of the day of the black cloud seized them. Indeed, it was the punishment of a terrible day.

Translation

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Translation

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Translation

And indeed, the Qur'an is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds.

Translation

The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down

Translation

Upon your heart, [O Muhammad] - that you may be of the warners -

Translation

In a clear Arabic language.

Translation

And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples.

Translation

And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel?

Translation

And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners

Translation

And he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it.

Translation

Thus have We inserted disbelief into the hearts of the criminals.

Translation

They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.

Translation

And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not.

Translation

And they will say, "May we be reprieved?"

Translation

So for Our punishment are they impatient?

Translation

Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years

Translation

And then there came to them that which they were promised?

Translation

They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.

Translation

And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners

Translation

As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.

Translation

And the devils have not brought the revelation down.

Translation

It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able.

Translation

Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed.

Translation

So do not invoke with Allah another deity and [thus] be among the punished.

Translation

And warn, [O Muhammad], your closest kindred.

Translation

And lower your wing to those who follow you of the believers.

Translation

And if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing."

Translation

And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,

Translation

Who sees you when you arise

Translation

And your movement among those who prostrate.

Translation

Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

Translation

Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?

Translation

They descend upon every sinful liar.

Translation

They pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars.

Translation

And the poets - [only] the deviators follow them;

Translation

Do you not see that in every valley they roam

Translation

And that they say what they do not do? -

Translation

Except 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.
