بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِIn the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
These are revelations of the Scripture that maketh plain.
26:2 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 367 · tafsir at quran.com
It may be that thou tormentest thyself (O Muhammad) because they believe not.
26:3 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 367 · tafsir at quran.com
If We will, We can send down on them from the sky a portent so that their necks would remain bowed before it.
26:4 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 367 · tafsir at quran.com
Never cometh there unto them a fresh reminder from the Beneficent One, but they turn away from it.
26:5 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 367 · tafsir at quran.com
Now they have denied (the Truth); but there will come unto them tidings of that whereat they used to scoff.
26:6 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 367 · tafsir at quran.com
Have they not seen the earth, how much of every fruitful kind We make to grow therein?
26:7 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 367 · tafsir at quran.com
Lo! herein is indeed a portent; yet most of them are not believers.
26:8 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 367 · tafsir at quran.com
And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.
26:9 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 367 · tafsir at quran.com
And when thy Lord called Moses, saying: Go unto the wrongdoing folk,
26:10 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 367 · tafsir at quran.com
The folk of Pharaoh. Will they not ward off (evil)?
26:11 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 367 · tafsir at quran.com
He said: My Lord! Lo! I fear that they will deny me,
26:12 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 367 · tafsir at quran.com
And I shall be embarrassed, and my tongue will not speak plainly, therefor send for Aaron (to help me).
26:13 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 367 · tafsir at quran.com
And they have a crime against me, so I fear that they will kill me.
26:14 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 367 · tafsir at quran.com
He said: Nay, verily. So go ye twain with Our tokens. Lo! We shall be with you, Hearing.
26:15 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 367 · tafsir at quran.com
And come together unto Pharaoh and say: Lo! we bear a message of the Lord of the Worlds,
26:16 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 367 · tafsir at quran.com
(Saying): Let the Children of Israel go with us.
26:17 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 367 · tafsir at quran.com
(Pharaoh) said (unto Moses): Did we not rear thee among us as a child? And thou didst dwell many years of thy life among us,
26:18 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 367 · tafsir at quran.com
And thou didst that thy deed which thou didst, and thou wast one of the ingrates.
26:19 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 367 · tafsir at quran.com
He said: I did it then, when I was of those who are astray.
26:20 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 368 · tafsir at quran.com
Then I fled from you when I feared you, and my Lord vouchsafed me a command and appointed me (of the number) of those sent (by Him).
26:21 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 368 · tafsir at quran.com
And this is the past favour wherewith thou reproachest me: that thou hast enslaved the Children of Israel.
26:22 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 368 · tafsir at quran.com
Pharaoh said: And what is the Lord of the Worlds?
26:23 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 368 · tafsir at quran.com
(Moses) said: Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if ye had but sure belief.
26:24 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 368 · tafsir at quran.com
(Pharaoh) said unto those around him: Hear ye not?
26:25 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 368 · tafsir at quran.com
He said: Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers.
26:26 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 368 · tafsir at quran.com
(Pharaoh) said: Lo! your messenger who hath been sent unto you is indeed a madman!
26:27 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 368 · tafsir at quran.com
He said: Lord of the East and the West and all that is between them, if ye did but understand.
26:28 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 368 · tafsir at quran.com
(Pharaoh) said: If thou choosest a god other than me, I assuredly shall place thee among the prisoners.
26:29 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 368 · tafsir at quran.com
He said: Even though I show thee something plain?
26:30 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 368 · tafsir at quran.com
(Pharaoh) said: Produce it then, if thou art of the truthful!
26:31 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 368 · tafsir at quran.com
Then he flung down his staff and it became a serpent manifest,
26:32 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 368 · tafsir at quran.com
And he drew forth his hand and lo! it was white to the beholders.
26:33 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 368 · tafsir at quran.com
(Pharaoh) said unto the chiefs about him: Lo! this is verily a knowing wizard,
26:34 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 368 · tafsir at quran.com
Who would drive you out of your land by his magic. Now what counsel ye?
26:35 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 368 · tafsir at quran.com
They said: Put him off, (him) and his brother, and send into the cities summoners
26:36 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 368 · tafsir at quran.com
Who shall bring unto thee every knowing wizard.
26:37 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 368 · tafsir at quran.com
So the wizards were gathered together at a set time on a day appointed.
26:38 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 368 · tafsir at quran.com
And it was said unto the people: Are ye (also) gathering?
26:39 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 368 · tafsir at quran.com
(They said): Aye, so that we may follow the wizards if they are the winners.
26:40 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 369 · tafsir at quran.com
And when the wizards came they said unto Pharaoh: Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners?
26:41 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 369 · tafsir at quran.com
He said: Aye, and ye will then surely be of those brought near (to me).
26:42 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 369 · tafsir at quran.com
Moses said unto them: Throw what ye are going to throw!
26:43 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 369 · tafsir at quran.com
Then they threw down their cords and their staves and said: By Pharaoh's might, lo! we verily are the winners.
26:44 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 369 · tafsir at quran.com
Then Moses threw his staff and lo! it swallowed that which they did falsely show.
26:45 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 369 · tafsir at quran.com
And the wizards were flung prostrate,
26:46 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 369 · tafsir at quran.com
Crying: We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,
26:47 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 369 · tafsir at quran.com
The Lord of Moses and Aaron.
26:48 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 369 · tafsir at quran.com
(Pharaoh) said: Ye put your faith in him before I give you leave. Lo! he doubtless is your chief who taught you magic! But verily ye shall come to know. Verily I will cut off your hands and your feet alternately, and verily I will crucify you every one.
26:49 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 369 · tafsir at quran.com
They said: It is no hurt, for lo! unto our Lord we shall return.
26:50 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 369 · tafsir at quran.com
Lo! we ardently hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we are the first of the believers.
26:51 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 369 · tafsir at quran.com
And We inspired Moses, saying: Take away My slaves by night, for ye will be pursued.
26:52 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 369 · tafsir at quran.com
Then Pharaoh sent into the cities summoners,
26:53 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 369 · tafsir at quran.com
(Who said): Lo! these indeed are but a little troop,
26:54 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 369 · tafsir at quran.com
And lo! they are offenders against us.
26:55 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 369 · tafsir at quran.com
And lo! we are a ready host.
26:56 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 369 · tafsir at quran.com
Thus did We take them away from gardens and watersprings,
26:57 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 369 · tafsir at quran.com
And treasures and a fair estate.
26:58 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 369 · tafsir at quran.com
Thus (were those things taken from them) and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them.
26:59 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 369 · tafsir at quran.com
And they overtook them at sunrise.
26:60 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 369 · tafsir at quran.com
And when the two hosts saw each other, those with Moses said: Lo! we are indeed caught.
26:61 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 370 · tafsir at quran.com
He said: Nay, verily! for lo! my Lord is with me. He will guide me.
26:62 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 370 · tafsir at quran.com
Then We inspired Moses, saying: Smite the sea with thy staff. And it parted, and each part was as a mountain vast.
26:63 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 370 · tafsir at quran.com
Then brought We near the others to that place.
26:64 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 370 · tafsir at quran.com
And We saved Moses and those with him, every one;
26:65 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 370 · tafsir at quran.com
And We drowned the others.
26:66 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 370 · tafsir at quran.com
Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers.
26:67 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 370 · tafsir at quran.com
And lo, thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.
26:68 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 370 · tafsir at quran.com
Recite unto them the story of Abraham:
26:69 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 370 · tafsir at quran.com
When he said unto his father and his folk: What worship ye?
26:70 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 370 · tafsir at quran.com
They said: We worship idols, and are ever devoted unto them.
26:71 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 370 · tafsir at quran.com
He said: Do they hear you when ye cry?
26:72 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 370 · tafsir at quran.com
Or do they benefit or harm you?
26:73 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 370 · tafsir at quran.com
They said: Nay, but we found our fathers acting on this wise.
26:74 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 370 · tafsir at quran.com
He said: See now that which ye worship,
26:75 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 370 · tafsir at quran.com
Ye and your forefathers!
26:76 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 370 · tafsir at quran.com
Lo! they are (all) an enemy unto me, save the Lord of the Worlds,
26:77 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 370 · tafsir at quran.com
Who created me, and He doth guide me,
26:78 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 370 · tafsir at quran.com
And Who feedeth me and watereth me.
26:79 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 370 · tafsir at quran.com
And when I sicken, then He healeth me,
26:80 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 370 · tafsir at quran.com
And Who causeth me to die, then giveth me life (again),
26:81 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 370 · tafsir at quran.com
And Who, I ardently hope, will forgive me my sin on the Day of Judgment.
26:82 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 370 · tafsir at quran.com
My Lord! Vouchsafe me wisdom and unite me to the righteous.
26:83 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 370 · tafsir at quran.com
And give unto me a good report in later generations.
26:84 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Delight,
26:85 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
And forgive my father. Lo! he is of those who err.
26:86 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
And abase me not on the day when they are raised,
26:87 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
The day when wealth and sons avail not (any man)
26:88 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
Save him who bringeth unto Allah a whole heart.
26:89 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
And the Garden will be brought nigh for those who ward off (evil).
26:90 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
And hell will appear plainly to the erring.
26:91 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
And it will be said unto them: Where is (all) that ye used to worship
26:92 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
Instead of Allah? Can they help you or help themselves?
26:93 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
Then will they be hurled therein, they and the seducers
26:94 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
And the hosts of Iblis, together.
26:95 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
And they will say, when they are quarrelling therein:
26:96 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
By Allah, of a truth we were in error manifest
26:97 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
When we made you equal with the Lord of the Worlds.
26:98 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
It was but the guilty who misled us.
26:99 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
Now we have no intercessors
26:100 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
Nor any loving friend.
26:101 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
Oh, that we had another turn (on earth), that we might be of the believers!
26:102 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers!
26:103 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
And lo, thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.
26:104 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
Noah's folk denied the messengers (of Allah),
26:105 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
When their brother Noah said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)?
26:106 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you,
26:107 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
So keep your duty to Allah, and obey me.
26:108 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds.
26:109 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
So keep your duty to Allah, and obey me.
26:110 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
They said: Shall we put faith in thee, when the lowest (of the people) follow thee?
26:111 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 371 · tafsir at quran.com
He said: And what knowledge have I of what they may have been doing (in the past)?
26:112 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 372 · tafsir at quran.com
Lo! their reckoning is my Lord's concern, if ye but knew;
26:113 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 372 · tafsir at quran.com
And I am not (here) to repulse believers.
26:114 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 372 · tafsir at quran.com
I am only a plain warner.
26:115 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 372 · tafsir at quran.com
They said: If thou cease not, O Noah, thou wilt surely be among those stoned (to death).
26:116 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 372 · tafsir at quran.com
He said: My Lord! Lo! my own folk deny me.
26:117 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 372 · tafsir at quran.com
Therefor judge Thou between us, a (conclusive) judgment, and save me and those believers who are with me.
26:118 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 372 · tafsir at quran.com
And We saved him and those with him in the laden ship.
26:119 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 372 · tafsir at quran.com
Then afterward We drowned the others.
26:120 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 372 · tafsir at quran.com
Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers.
26:121 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 372 · tafsir at quran.com
And lo, thy Lord, He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.

Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you,
26:125 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 372 · tafsir at quran.com
So keep your duty to Allah and obey me.
26:126 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 372 · tafsir at quran.com
And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds.
26:127 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 372 · tafsir at quran.com
Build ye on every high place a monument for vain delight?
26:128 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 372 · tafsir at quran.com
And seek ye out strongholds, that haply ye may last for ever?
26:129 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 372 · tafsir at quran.com
And if ye seize by force, seize ye as tyrants?
26:130 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 372 · tafsir at quran.com
Rather keep your duty to Allah, and obey me.
26:131 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 372 · tafsir at quran.com
Keep your duty toward Him Who hath aided you with (the good things) that ye know,
26:132 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 372 · tafsir at quran.com
Hath aided you with cattle and sons.
26:133 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 372 · tafsir at quran.com
And gardens and watersprings.
26:134 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 372 · tafsir at quran.com
Lo! I fear for you the retribution of an awful day.
26:135 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 372 · tafsir at quran.com
They said: It is all one to us whether thou preachest or art not of those who preach;
26:136 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 372 · tafsir at quran.com
This is but a fable of the men of old,
26:137 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 373 · tafsir at quran.com
And we shall not be doomed.
26:138 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 373 · tafsir at quran.com
And they denied him; therefor We destroyed them. Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers.
26:139 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 373 · tafsir at quran.com
And lo! thy Lord, He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.

26:143 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 373 · tafsir at quran.com
So keep your duty to Allah and obey me.
26:144 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 373 · tafsir at quran.com
And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds.
26:145 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 373 · tafsir at quran.com
Will ye be left secure in that which is here before us,
26:146 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 373 · tafsir at quran.com
In gardens and watersprings.
26:147 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 373 · tafsir at quran.com
And tilled fields and heavy-sheathed palm-trees,
26:148 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 373 · tafsir at quran.com
Though ye hew out dwellings in the mountain, being skilful?
26:149 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 373 · tafsir at quran.com
Therefor keep your duty to Allah and obey me,
26:150 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 373 · tafsir at quran.com
And obey not the command of the prodigal,
26:151 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 373 · tafsir at quran.com
Who spread corruption in the earth, and reform not.
26:152 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 373 · tafsir at quran.com
They said: Thou art but one of the bewitched;
26:153 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 373 · tafsir at quran.com
Thou art but a mortal like us. So bring some token if thou art of the truthful.
26:154 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 373 · tafsir at quran.com
He said: (Behold) this she-camel. She hath the right to drink (at the well), and ye have the right to drink, (each) on an appointed day.
26:155 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 373 · tafsir at quran.com
And touch her not with ill lest there come on you the retribution of an awful day.
26:156 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 373 · tafsir at quran.com
But they hamstrung her, and then were penitent.
26:157 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 373 · tafsir at quran.com
So the retribution came on them. Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers.
26:158 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 373 · tafsir at quran.com
And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.

The folk of Lot denied the messengers (of Allah),
26:160 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 374 · tafsir at quran.com
When their brother Lot said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)?
26:161 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 374 · tafsir at quran.com
Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you,
26:162 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 374 · tafsir at quran.com
So keep your duty to Allah and obey me.
26:163 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 374 · tafsir at quran.com
And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds.
26:164 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 374 · tafsir at quran.com
What! Of all creatures do ye come unto the males,
26:165 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 374 · tafsir at quran.com
And leave the wives your Lord created for you? Nay, but ye are froward folk.
26:166 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 374 · tafsir at quran.com
They said: If thou cease not, O Lot, thou wilt soon be of the outcast.
26:167 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 374 · tafsir at quran.com
He said: I am in truth of those who hate your conduct.
26:168 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 374 · tafsir at quran.com
My Lord! Save me and my household from what they do.
26:169 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 374 · tafsir at quran.com
So We saved him and his household, every one,
26:170 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 374 · tafsir at quran.com
Save an old woman among those who stayed behind.
26:171 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 374 · tafsir at quran.com
Then afterward We destroyed the others.
26:172 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 374 · tafsir at quran.com
And We rained on them a rain. And dreadful is the rain of those who have been warned.
26:173 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 374 · tafsir at quran.com
Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers.
26:174 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 374 · tafsir at quran.com
And lo! thy Lord, He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.
26:175 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 374 · tafsir at quran.com
The dwellers in the wood (of Midian) denied the messengers (of Allah),
26:176 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 374 · tafsir at quran.com
When Shu'eyb said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)?
26:177 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 374 · tafsir at quran.com
Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you,
26:178 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 374 · tafsir at quran.com
So keep your duty to Allah and obey me.
26:179 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 374 · tafsir at quran.com
And I ask of you no wage for it; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds.
26:180 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 374 · tafsir at quran.com
Give full measure, and be not of those who give less (than the due).
26:181 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 374 · tafsir at quran.com
And weigh with the true balance.
26:182 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 374 · tafsir at quran.com
Wrong not mankind in their goods, and do not evil, making mischief, in the earth.
26:183 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 374 · tafsir at quran.com
And keep your duty unto Him Who created you and the generations of the men of old.
26:184 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 375 · tafsir at quran.com
They said: Thou art but one of the bewitched;
26:185 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 375 · tafsir at quran.com
Thou art but a mortal like us, and lo! we deem thee of the liars.
26:186 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 375 · tafsir at quran.com
Then make fragments of the heaven fall upon us, if thou art of the truthful.
26:187 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 375 · tafsir at quran.com
He said: My Lord is Best Aware of what ye do.
26:188 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 375 · tafsir at quran.com
But they denied him, so there came on them the retribution of the day of gloom. Lo! it was the retribution of an awful day.
26:189 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 375 · tafsir at quran.com
Lo! herein is indeed a portent; yet most of them are not believers.
26:190 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 375 · tafsir at quran.com
And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.
26:191 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 375 · tafsir at quran.com
And lo! it is a revelation of the Lord of the Worlds,
26:192 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 375 · tafsir at quran.com
Which the True Spirit hath brought down
26:193 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 375 · tafsir at quran.com
Upon thy heart, that thou mayst be (one) of the warners,
26:194 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 375 · tafsir at quran.com
In plain Arabic speech.
26:195 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 375 · tafsir at quran.com
And lo! it is in the Scriptures of the men of old.
26:196 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 375 · tafsir at quran.com
Is it not a token for them that the doctors of the Children of Israel know it?
26:197 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 375 · tafsir at quran.com
And if We had revealed it unto one of any other nation than the Arabs,
26:198 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 375 · tafsir at quran.com
And he had read it unto them, they would not have believed in it.
26:199 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 375 · tafsir at quran.com
Thus do We make it traverse the hearts of the guilty.
26:200 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 375 · tafsir at quran.com
They will not believe in it till they behold the painful doom,
26:201 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 375 · tafsir at quran.com
So that it will come upon them suddenly, when they perceive not.
26:202 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 375 · tafsir at quran.com
Then they will say: Are we to be reprieved?
26:203 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 375 · tafsir at quran.com
Would they (now) hasten on Our doom?
26:204 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 375 · tafsir at quran.com
Hast thou then seen, if We content them for (long) years,
26:205 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 375 · tafsir at quran.com
And then cometh that which they were promised,
26:206 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 375 · tafsir at quran.com
(How) that wherewith they were contented naught availeth them?
26:207 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 376 · tafsir at quran.com
And We destroyed no township but it had its warners
26:208 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 376 · tafsir at quran.com
For reminder, for We never were oppressors.
26:209 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 376 · tafsir at quran.com
The devils did not bring it down.
26:210 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 376 · tafsir at quran.com
It is not meet for them, nor is it in their power,
26:211 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 376 · tafsir at quran.com
Lo! verily they are banished from the hearing.
26:212 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 376 · tafsir at quran.com
Therefor invoke not with Allah another god, lest thou be one of the doomed.
26:213 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 376 · tafsir at quran.com
And warn thy tribe of near kindred,
26:214 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 376 · tafsir at quran.com
And lower thy wing (in kindness) unto those believers who follow thee.
26:215 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 376 · tafsir at quran.com
And if they (thy kinsfolk) disobey thee, say: Lo! I am innocent of what they do.
26:216 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 376 · tafsir at quran.com
And put thy trust in the Mighty, the Merciful.
26:217 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 376 · tafsir at quran.com
Who seeth thee when thou standest up (to pray)
26:218 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 376 · tafsir at quran.com
And (seeth) thine abasement among those who fall prostrate (in worship).
26:219 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 376 · tafsir at quran.com
Lo! He, only He, is the Hearer, the Knower.
26:220 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 376 · tafsir at quran.com
Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?
26:221 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 376 · tafsir at quran.com
They descend on every sinful, false one.
26:222 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 376 · tafsir at quran.com
They listen eagerly, but most of them are liars.
26:223 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 376 · tafsir at quran.com
As for poets, the erring follow them.
26:224 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 376 · tafsir at quran.com
Hast thou not seen how they stray in every valley,
26:225 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 376 · tafsir at quran.com
And how they say that which they do not?
26:226 · Ash-Shu'araa · juz 19 · page 376 · tafsir at quran.com
Save those who believe and do good works, and remember Allah much, and vindicate themselves after they have been wronged. Those who do wrong will come to know by what a (great) reverse they will be overturned!
