In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

"26.1":    Ta Sin Mim.

"26.2":    These are the verses of the Book that makes (things) clear.

"26.3":    Perhaps you will kill yourself with grief because they do not believe.

"26.4":    If We please, We should send down upon them a sign from the heaven so that their necks should stoop to it.

"26.5":    And there does not come to them a new reminder from the Beneficent God but they turn aside from it.

"26.6":    So they have indeed rejected (the truth), therefore the news of that which they mock shall soon come to them.

"26.7":    Do they not see the earth, how many of every noble kind We have caused to grow in it?

"26.8":    Most surely there is a sign in that, but most of them will not believe.

"26.9":    And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.

"26.10":    And when your Lord called out to Musa, saying: Go to the unjust people --

"26.11":     The people of Firon: Will they not guard (against evil)?

"26.12":    He said: O my Lord! surely I fear that they will reject me;

"26.13":    And by breast straightens, and my tongue is not eloquent, therefore send Thou to Haroun (to help me);

"26.14":    And they have a crime against me, therefore I fear that they may slay me.

"26.15":    He said: By no means, so go you both with Our signs; surely We are with you, hearing;

"26.16":    Then come to Firon and say: Surely we are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds:

"26.17":    Then send with us the children of Israel.

"26.18":    (Firon) said: Did we not bring you up as a child among us, and you tarried among us for (many) years of your life?

"26.19":    And you did (that) deed of yours which you did, and you are one of the ungrateful.

"26.20":    He said: I did it then while I was of those unable to see the right course;

"26.21":    So I fled from you when I feared you, then my Lord granted me wisdom and made me of the apostles;

"26.22":    And is it a favor of which you remind me that you have enslaved the children of Israel?

"26.23":    Firon said: And what is the Lord of the worlds?

"26.24":    He said: The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you would be sure.

"26.25":    (Firon) said to those around him: Do you not hear?

"26.26":    He said: Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of old.

"26.27":    Said he: Most surely your Apostle who is sent to you is mad.

"26.28":    He said: The Lord of the east and the west and what is between them, if you understand.

"26.29":    Said he: If you will take a god besides me, I will most certainly make you one of the imprisoned.

"26.30":    He said: What! even if I bring to you something manifest?

"26.31":    Said he: Bring it then, if you are of the truthful ones.

"26.32":    So he cast down his rod, and lo! it was an obvious serpent,

"26.33":    And he drew forth his hand, and lo! it appeared white to the onlookers.

"26.34":    (Firon) said to the chiefs around him: Most surely this is a skillful magician,

"26.35":    Who desires to turn you out of your land with his magic; what is it then that you advise?

"26.36":    They said: Give him and his brother respite and send heralds into the cities

"26.37":    That they should bring to you every skillful magician.

"26.38":    So the magicians were gathered together at the appointed time on the fixed day,

"26.39":    And it was said to the people: Will you gather together?

"26.40":    Haply we may follow the magicians, if they are the vanquishers.

"26.41":    And when the magicians came, they said to Firon: Shall we get a reward if we are the vanquishers?

"26.42":    He said: Yes, and surely you will then be of those who are made near.

"26.43":    Musa said to them: Cast what you are going to cast.

"26.44":    So they cast down their cords and their rods and said: By Firon's power, we shall most surely be victorious.

"26.45":    Then Musa cast down his staff and lo! it swallowed up the lies they told.

"26.46":    And the magicians were thrown down prostrate;

"26.47":    They said: We believe in the Lord of the worlds:

"26.48":    The Lord of Musa and Haroun.

"26.49":    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.

"26.50":    They said: No harm; surely to our Lord we go back;

"26.51":    Surely we hope that our Lord will forgive us our wrongs because we are the first of the believers.

"26.52":    And We revealed to Musa, saying: Go away with My servants travelling by night, surely you will be pursued.

"26.53":    So Firon sent heralds into the cities;

"26.54":    Most surely these are a small company;

"26.55":    And most surely they have enraged us;

"26.56":    And most surely we are a vigilant multitude.

"26.57":    So We turned them out of gardens and springs,

"26.58":    And treasures and goodly dwellings,

"26.59":    Even so. And We gave them as a heritage to the children of Israel.

"26.60":    Then they pursued them at sunrise.

"26.61":    So when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Musa cried out: Most surely we are being overtaken.

"26.62":    He said: By no means; surely my Lord is with me: He will show me a way out.

"26.63":    Then We revealed to Musa: Strike the sea with your staff. So it had cloven asunder, and each part was like a huge mound.

"26.64":    And We brought near, there, the others.

"26.65":    And We saved Musa and those with him, all of them.

"26.66":    Then We drowned the others.

"26.67":    Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.

"26.68":    And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.

"26.69":    And recite to them the story of Ibrahim.

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

"26.71":    They said: We worship idols, so we shall be their votaries.

"26.72":    He said: Do they hear you when you call?

"26.73":    Or do they profit you or cause you harm?

"26.74":    They said: Nay, we found our fathers doing so.

"26.75":    He said: Have you then considered what you have been worshiping:

"26.76":    You and your ancient sires.

"26.77":    Surely they are enemies to me, but not (so) the Lord of the worlds;

"26.78":    Who created me, then He has shown me the way:

"26.79":    And He Who gives me to eat and gives me to drink:

"26.80":    And when I am sick, then He restores me to health

"26.81":    And He Who will cause me to die, then give me life;

"26.82":    And Who, I hope, will forgive me my mistakes on the day of judgment.

"26.83":    My Lord: Grant me wisdom, and join me with the good

"26.84":    And ordain for me a goodly mention among posterity

"26.85":    And make me of the heirs of the garden of bliss

"26.86":    And forgive my father, for surely he is of those who have gone astray;

"26.87":    And disgrace me not on the day when they are raised

"26.88":    The day on which property will not avail, nor sons

"26.89":    Except him who comes to Allah with a heart free (from evil).

"26.90":    And the garden shall be brought near for those who guard (against evil),

"26.91":    And the hell shall be made manifest to the erring ones,

"26.92":    And it shall be said to them: Where are those that you used to worship;

"26.93":    Besides Allah? Can they help you or yet help themselves?

"26.94":    So they shall be thrown down into it, they and the erring ones,

"26.95":    And the hosts of the Shaitan, all.

"26.96":    They shall say while they contend therein:

"26.97":    By Allah! we were certainly in manifest error,

"26.98":    When we made you equal to the Lord of the worlds;

"26.99":    And none but the guilty led us astray;

"26.100":    So we have no intercessors,

"26.101":    Nor a true friend;

"26.102":    But if we could but once return, we would be of the believers.

"26.103":    Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.

"26.104":    And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.

"26.105":    The people of Nuh rejected the apostles.

"26.106":    When their brother Nuh said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?

"26.107":    Surely I am a faithful apostle to you;

"26.108":    Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me.

"26.109":    And I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds:

"26.110":    So guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me.

"26.111":    They said: Shall we believe in you while the meanest follow you?

"26.112":     He said: And what knowledge have I of what they do?

"26.113":     Their account is only with my Lord, if you could perceive

"26.114":    And I am not going to drive away the believers;

"26.115":    I am naught but a plain warner.

"26.116":    They said: If you desist not, O Nuh, you shall most certainly be of those stoned to death.

"26.117":    He said: My Lord! Surely my people give me the lie!

"26.118":    Therefore judge Thou between me and them with a (just) judgment, and deliver me and those who are with me of the believers.

"26.119":    So We delivered him and those with him in the laden ark.

"26.120":    Then We drowned the rest afterwards

"26.121":    Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.

"26.122":    And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.

"26.123":    Ad gave the lie to the apostles.

"26.124":    When their brother Hud said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?

"26.125":    Surely I am a faithful apostle to you;

"26.126":    Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me:

"26.127":    And I do not ask you any reward for it; surely my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds

"26.128":    Do you build on every height a monument? Vain is it that you do:

"26.129":    And you make strong fortresses that perhaps you may abide

"26.130":    And when you lay hands (on men) you lay hands (like) tyrants;

"26.131":    So guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me

"26.132":    And be careful of (your duty to) Him Who has given you abundance of what you know.

"26.133":    He has given you abundance of cattle and children

"26.134":    And gardens and fountains;

"26.135":    Surely I fear for you the chastisement of a grievous day

"26.136":    They said: It is the same to us whether you admonish or are not one of the admonishers

"26.137":    This is naught but a custom of the ancients;

"26.138":    And we are not going to be punished.

"26.139":    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.

"26.140":    And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.

"26.141":    Samood gave the lie to the apostles

"26.142":    When their brother Salih said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?

"26.143":    Surely I am a faithful apostle to you

"26.144":    Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me:

"26.145":    And I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds:

"26.146":    Will you be left secure in what is here;

"26.147":    In gardens and fountains,

"26.148":    And cornfields and palm-trees having fine spadices?

"26.149":     And you hew houses out of the mountains exultingly;

"26.15O":     Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me;

"26.151":    And do not obey the bidding of the extravagant,

"26.152":    Who make mischief in the land and do not act aright.

"26.153":    They said: You are only of the deluded ones;

"26.154":    You are naught but a mortal like ourselves; so bring a sign if you are one of the truthful.

"26.155":    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;

"26.156":    And do not touch her with evil, lest the punishment of a grievous day should overtake you.

"26.157":    But they hamstrung her, then regretted;

"26.158":    So the punishment overtook them. Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.

"26.159":    And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.

"26.160":    The people of Lut gave the lie to the apostles.

"26.161":    When their brother Lut said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?

"26.162":    Surely I am a faithful apostle to you;

"26.163":    Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me:

"26.164":    And I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds;

"26.165":    What! do you come to the males from among the creatures

"26.166":    And leave what your Lord has created for you of your wives? Nay, you are a people exceeding limits.

"26.167":    They said: If you desist not, O Lut! you shall surely be of those who are expelled.

"26.168":    He said: Surely I am of those who utterly abhor your doing:

"26.169":     My Lord ! deliver me and my followers from what they do.

"26.17O":     So We delivered him and his followers all,

"26.171":    Except an old woman, among those who remained behind.

"26.172":    Then We utterly destroyed the others.

"26.173":    And We rained down upon them a rain, and evil was the rain on those warned.

"26.174":    Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.

"26.175":    And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.

"26.176":    The dwellers of the thicket gave the lie to the apostles.

"26.177":    When Shu'aib said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?

"26.178":    Surely I am a faithful apostle to you;

"26.179":    Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me:

"26.180":    And I do not ask you any reward for it, my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds;

"26.181":    Give a full measure and be not of those who diminish;

"26.182":    And weigh (things) with a right balance,

"26.183":    And do not wrong men of their things, and do not act corruptly in the earth, making mischief.

"26.184":    And guard against (the punishment of) Him who created you and the former nations.

"26.185":    They said: You are only of those deluded;

"26.186":    And you are naught but a mortal like ourselves, and we know you to be certainly of the liars.

"26.187":    Therefore cause a portion of the heaven to come down upon us, if you are one of the truthful.

"26.188":    He said: My Lord knows best what you do.

"26.189":    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.

"26.190":    Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.

"26.191":    And most surely your Lord is Mighty, the Merciful.

"26.192":    And most surely this is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

"26.193":    The Faithful Spirit has descended with it,

"26.194":    Upon your heart that you may be of the warners

"26.195":    In plain Arabic language.

"26.196":    And most surely the same is in the scriptures of the ancients.

"26.197":    Is it not a sign to them that the learned men of the Israelites know it?

"26.198":    And if we had revealed it to any of the foreigners

"26.199":    So that he should have recited it to them, they would not have believed therein.

"26.200":    Thus have We caused it to enter into the hearts of the guilty.

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

"26.202":    And it shall come to them all of a sudden, while they shall not perceive;

"26.203":    Then they will say: Shall we be respited?

"26.204":    What! do they still seek to hasten on Our punishment?

"26.205":    Have you then considered if We let them enjoy themselves for years,

"26.206":    Then there comes to them that with which they are threatened,

"26.207":    That which they were made to enjoy shall not avail them?

"26.208":    And We did not destroy any town but it had (its) warners,

"26.209":    To remind, and We are never unjust.

"26.210":    And the Shaitans have not come down with it.

"26.211":    And it behooves them not, and they have not the power to do (it).

"26.212":     Most surely they are far removed from the hearing of it.

"26.213":     So call not upon another god with Allah, lest you be of those who are punished.

"26.214":    And warn your nearest relations,

"26.215":    And be kind to him who follows you of the believers.

"26.216":    But if they disobey you, then say: Surely I am clear of what you do.

"26.217":    And rely on the Mighty, the Merciful,

"26.218":    Who sees you when you stand up.

"26.219":    And your turning over and over among those who prostrate themselves before Allah.

"26.220":    Surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

"26.221":    Shall I inform you (of him) upon whom the Shaitans descend?

"26.222":    They descend upon every lying, sinful one,

"26.223":    They incline their ears, and most of them are liars.

"26.224":    And as to the poets, those who go astray follow them.

"26.225":    Do you not see that they wander about bewildered in every valley?

"26.226":    And that they say that which they do not do,

"26.227":    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.
