Sura 26: The Poets (Al-Shu`ara’) ( سورة الشعراء )
بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمٰنِ الرَّحيمِ
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
١:طسم
[26:1] T. S. M.*
Footnote*26:1 See Appendix 1 for the significance of these previously mysterious letters.
٢:تِلكَ ءايٰتُ الكِتٰبِ المُبينِ
[26:2] These (letters) constitute proofs of this clarifying scripture.
٣:لَعَلَّكَ بٰخِعٌ نَفسَكَ أَلّا يَكونوا مُؤمِنينَ
[26:3] You may blame yourself that they are not believers.
٤:إِن نَشَأ نُنَزِّل عَلَيهِم مِنَ السَّماءِ ءايَةً فَظَلَّت أَعنٰقُهُم لَها خٰضِعينَ
[26:4] If we will, we can send from the sky a sign that forces their necks to bow.
٥:وَما يَأتيهِم مِن ذِكرٍ مِنَ الرَّحمٰنِ مُحدَثٍ إِلّا كانوا عَنهُ مُعرِضينَ
The Quran's Mathematical Code
[26:5] Whenever a reminder from the Most Gracious comes to them, that is new, they turn away in aversion.
٦:فَقَد كَذَّبوا فَسَيَأتيهِم أَنبٰؤُا۟ ما كانوا بِهِ يَستَهزِءونَ
[26:6] Since they disbelieved, they have incurred the consequences of their heedlessness.
٧:أَوَلَم يَرَوا إِلَى الأَرضِ كَم أَنبَتنا فيها مِن كُلِّ زَوجٍ كَريمٍ
[26:7] Have they not seen the earth, and how many kinds of beautiful plants we have grown thereon?
٨:إِنَّ فى ذٰلِكَ لَـٔايَةً وَما كانَ أَكثَرُهُم مُؤمِنينَ
[26:8] This should be a sufficient proof for them, but most of them are not believers.
٩:وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ العَزيزُ الرَّحيمُ
[26:9] Most assuredly, your Lord is the Almighty, Most Merciful.
١٠:وَإِذ نادىٰ رَبُّكَ موسىٰ أَنِ ائتِ القَومَ الظّٰلِمينَ
Moses
[26:10] Recall that your Lord called Moses: “Go to the transgressing people.
١١:قَومَ فِرعَونَ أَلا يَتَّقونَ
[26:11] “Pharaoh’s people; perhaps they reform.”
١٢:قالَ رَبِّ إِنّى أَخافُ أَن يُكَذِّبونِ
[26:12] He said, “My Lord, I fear lest they disbelieve me.
١٣:وَيَضيقُ صَدرى وَلا يَنطَلِقُ لِسانى فَأَرسِل إِلىٰ هٰرونَ
[26:13] “I may lose my temper. My tongue gets tied; send for my brother Aaron.
١٤:وَلَهُم عَلَىَّ ذَنبٌ فَأَخافُ أَن يَقتُلونِ
[26:14] “Also, they consider me a fugitive; I fear lest they kill me.”
١٥:قالَ كَلّا فَاذهَبا بِـٔايٰتِنا إِنّا مَعَكُم مُستَمِعونَ
[26:15] He said, “No, (they will not). Go with My proofs. We will be with you, listening.
١٦:فَأتِيا فِرعَونَ فَقولا إِنّا رَسولُ رَبِّ العٰلَمينَ
[26:16] “Go to Pharaoh and say, ‘We are messengers from the Lord of the universe.
١٧:أَن أَرسِل مَعَنا بَنى إِسرٰءيلَ
[26:17] “‘Let the Children of Israel go.'”
١٨:قالَ أَلَم نُرَبِّكَ فينا وَليدًا وَلَبِثتَ فينا مِن عُمُرِكَ سِنينَ
[26:18] He said, “Did we not raise you from infancy, and you spent many years with us?
١٩:وَفَعَلتَ فَعلَتَكَ الَّتى فَعَلتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ الكٰفِرينَ
[26:19] “Then you committed the crime that you committed, and you were ungrateful.”
٢٠:قالَ فَعَلتُها إِذًا وَأَنا۠ مِنَ الضّالّينَ
[26:20] He said, “Indeed, I did it when I was astray.
٢١:فَفَرَرتُ مِنكُم لَمّا خِفتُكُم فَوَهَبَ لى رَبّى حُكمًا وَجَعَلَنى مِنَ المُرسَلينَ
[26:21] “Then I fled, when I feared you, and my Lord endowed me with wisdom and made me one of the messengers.
٢٢:وَتِلكَ نِعمَةٌ تَمُنُّها عَلَىَّ أَن عَبَّدتَ بَنى إِسرٰءيلَ
[26:22] “You are boasting that you did me a favor, while enslaving the Children of Israel!”
٢٣:قالَ فِرعَونُ وَما رَبُّ العٰلَمينَ
[26:23] Pharaoh said, “What is the Lord of the universe?”
٢٤:قالَ رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالأَرضِ وَما بَينَهُما إِن كُنتُم موقِنينَ
[26:24] He said, “The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them. You should be certain about this.”
٢٥:قالَ لِمَن حَولَهُ أَلا تَستَمِعونَ
[26:25] He said to those around him, “Did you hear this?”
٢٦:قالَ رَبُّكُم وَرَبُّ ءابائِكُمُ الأَوَّلينَ
[26:26] He said, “Your Lord and the Lord of your ancestors.”
٢٧:قالَ إِنَّ رَسولَكُمُ الَّذى أُرسِلَ إِلَيكُم لَمَجنونٌ
[26:27] He said, “Your messenger who is sent to you is crazy.”
٢٨:قالَ رَبُّ المَشرِقِ وَالمَغرِبِ وَما بَينَهُما إِن كُنتُم تَعقِلونَ
[26:28] He said, “The Lord of the east and the west, and everything between them, if you understand.”
٢٩:قالَ لَئِنِ اتَّخَذتَ إِلٰهًا غَيرى لَأَجعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ المَسجونينَ
[26:29] He said, “If you accept any god, other than me, I will throw you in the prison.”
٣٠:قالَ أَوَلَو جِئتُكَ بِشَىءٍ مُبينٍ
[26:30] He said, “What if I show you something profound?”
٣١:قالَ فَأتِ بِهِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقينَ
[26:31] He said, “Then produce it, if you are truthful.”
٣٢:فَأَلقىٰ عَصاهُ فَإِذا هِىَ ثُعبانٌ مُبينٌ
[26:32] He then threw his staff, whereupon it became a profound snake.
٣٣:وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُ فَإِذا هِىَ بَيضاءُ لِلنّٰظِرينَ
[26:33] And he took out his hand, and it was white to the beholders.
٣٤:قالَ لِلمَلَإِ حَولَهُ إِنَّ هٰذا لَسٰحِرٌ عَليمٌ
[26:34] He said to the elders around him, “This is an experienced magician.
٣٥:يُريدُ أَن يُخرِجَكُم مِن أَرضِكُم بِسِحرِهِ فَماذا تَأمُرونَ
[26:35] “He wants to take you out of your land, with his magic. What do you suggest?”
٣٦:قالوا أَرجِه وَأَخاهُ وَابعَث فِى المَدائِنِ حٰشِرينَ
[26:36] They said, “Respite him and his brother, and send summoners to every town.
٣٧:يَأتوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحّارٍ عَليمٍ
[26:37] “Let them summon every experienced magician.”
٣٨:فَجُمِعَ السَّحَرَةُ لِميقٰتِ يَومٍ مَعلومٍ
[26:38] The magicians were gathered at the appointed time, on the appointed day.
٣٩:وَقيلَ لِلنّاسِ هَل أَنتُم مُجتَمِعونَ
[26:39] The people were told: “Come one and all; let us gather together here.
٤٠:لَعَلَّنا نَتَّبِعُ السَّحَرَةَ إِن كانوا هُمُ الغٰلِبينَ
[26:40] “Maybe we will follow the magicians, if they are the winners.”
٤١:فَلَمّا جاءَ السَّحَرَةُ قالوا لِفِرعَونَ أَئِنَّ لَنا لَأَجرًا إِن كُنّا نَحنُ الغٰلِبينَ
[26:41] When the magicians came, they said to Pharaoh, “Do we get paid, if we are the winners?”
٤٢:قالَ نَعَم وَإِنَّكُم إِذًا لَمِنَ المُقَرَّبينَ
[26:42] He said, “Yes indeed; you will even be close to me.”
٤٣:قالَ لَهُم موسىٰ أَلقوا ما أَنتُم مُلقونَ
[26:43] Moses said to them, “Throw what you are going to throw.”
٤٤:فَأَلقَوا حِبالَهُم وَعِصِيَّهُم وَقالوا بِعِزَّةِ فِرعَونَ إِنّا لَنَحنُ الغٰلِبونَ
[26:44] They threw their ropes and sticks, and said, “By Pharaoh’s majesty, we will be the victors.”
٤٥:فَأَلقىٰ موسىٰ عَصاهُ فَإِذا هِىَ تَلقَفُ ما يَأفِكونَ
[26:45] Moses threw his staff, whereupon it swallowed what they fabricated.
٤٦:فَأُلقِىَ السَّحَرَةُ سٰجِدينَ
The Experts See the Truth
[26:46] The magicians fell prostrate.
٤٧:قالوا ءامَنّا بِرَبِّ العٰلَمينَ
[26:47] They said, “We believe in the Lord of the universe.
٤٨:رَبِّ موسىٰ وَهٰرونَ
[26:48] “The Lord of Moses and Aaron.”
٤٩:قالَ ءامَنتُم لَهُ قَبلَ أَن ءاذَنَ لَكُم إِنَّهُ لَكَبيرُكُمُ الَّذى عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحرَ فَلَسَوفَ تَعلَمونَ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيدِيَكُم وَأَرجُلَكُم مِن خِلٰفٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُم أَجمَعينَ
[26:49] He said, “Did you believe with him before I give you permission? He must be your teacher, who taught you magic. You will surely find out. I will cut your hands and feet on alternate sides. I will crucify you all.”
٥٠:قالوا لا ضَيرَ إِنّا إِلىٰ رَبِّنا مُنقَلِبونَ
[26:50] They said, “This will not change our decision; to our Lord we will return.
٥١:إِنّا نَطمَعُ أَن يَغفِرَ لَنا رَبُّنا خَطٰيٰنا أَن كُنّا أَوَّلَ المُؤمِنينَ
[26:51] “We hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins, especially that we are the first believers.”
٥٢:وَأَوحَينا إِلىٰ موسىٰ أَن أَسرِ بِعِبادى إِنَّكُم مُتَّبَعونَ
[26:52] We inspired Moses: “Travel with My servants; you will be pursued.”
٥٣:فَأَرسَلَ فِرعَونُ فِى المَدائِنِ حٰشِرينَ
[26:53] Pharaoh sent to the cities callers.
٥٤:إِنَّ هٰؤُلاءِ لَشِرذِمَةٌ قَليلونَ
[26:54] (Proclaiming,) “This is a small gang.
٥٥:وَإِنَّهُم لَنا لَغائِظونَ
[26:55] “They are now opposing us.
٥٦:وَإِنّا لَجَميعٌ حٰذِرونَ
[26:56] “Let us all beware of them.”
٥٧:فَأَخرَجنٰهُم مِن جَنّٰتٍ وَعُيونٍ
The Inevitable Retribution
[26:57] Consequently, we deprived them of gardens and springs.
٥٨:وَكُنوزٍ وَمَقامٍ كَريمٍ
[26:58] And treasures and an honorable position.
٥٩:كَذٰلِكَ وَأَورَثنٰها بَنى إِسرٰءيلَ
[26:59] Then we made it an inheritance for the Children of Israel.
٦٠:فَأَتبَعوهُم مُشرِقينَ
[26:60] They pursued them towards the east.
٦١:فَلَمّا تَرٰءَا الجَمعانِ قالَ أَصحٰبُ موسىٰ إِنّا لَمُدرَكونَ
[26:61] When both parties saw each other, Moses’ people said, “We will be caught.”
٦٢:قالَ كَلّا إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبّى سَيَهدينِ
[26:62] He said, “No way. My Lord is with me; He will guide me.”
٦٣:فَأَوحَينا إِلىٰ موسىٰ أَنِ اضرِب بِعَصاكَ البَحرَ فَانفَلَقَ فَكانَ كُلُّ فِرقٍ كَالطَّودِ العَظيمِ
[26:63] We then inspired Moses: “Strike the sea with your staff,” whereupon it parted. Each part was like a great hill.
٦٤:وَأَزلَفنا ثَمَّ الـٔاخَرينَ
[26:64] We then delivered them all.
٦٥:وَأَنجَينا موسىٰ وَمَن مَعَهُ أَجمَعينَ
[26:65] We thus saved Moses and all those who were with him.
٦٦:ثُمَّ أَغرَقنَا الـٔاخَرينَ
[26:66] And we drowned the others.
٦٧:إِنَّ فى ذٰلِكَ لَـٔايَةً وَما كانَ أَكثَرُهُم مُؤمِنينَ
[26:67] This should be a sufficient proof, but most people are not believers.
٦٨:وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ العَزيزُ الرَّحيمُ
[26:68] Most assuredly, your Lord is the Almighty, Most Merciful.
٦٩:وَاتلُ عَلَيهِم نَبَأَ إِبرٰهيمَ
Abraham
[26:69] Narrate to them Abraham’s history.
٧٠:إِذ قالَ لِأَبيهِ وَقَومِهِ ما تَعبُدونَ
[26:70] He said to his father and his people, “What is this you are worshiping?”
٧١:قالوا نَعبُدُ أَصنامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَها عٰكِفينَ
[26:71] They said, “We worship statues; we are totally devoted to them.”
٧٢:قالَ هَل يَسمَعونَكُم إِذ تَدعونَ
[26:72] He said, “Can they hear you when you implore?
٧٣:أَو يَنفَعونَكُم أَو يَضُرّونَ
[26:73] “Can they benefit you, or harm you?”
٧٤:قالوا بَل وَجَدنا ءاباءَنا كَذٰلِكَ يَفعَلونَ
[26:74] They said, “No; but we found our parents doing this.”
٧٥:قالَ أَفَرَءَيتُم ما كُنتُم تَعبُدونَ
[26:75] He said, “Do you see these idols that you worship.
٧٦:أَنتُم وَءاباؤُكُمُ الأَقدَمونَ
[26:76] “You and your ancestors.
٧٧:فَإِنَّهُم عَدُوٌّ لى إِلّا رَبَّ العٰلَمينَ
[26:77] “I am against them, for I am devoted only to the Lord of the universe.
٧٨:الَّذى خَلَقَنى فَهُوَ يَهدينِ
[26:78] “The One who created me, and guided me.
٧٩:وَالَّذى هُوَ يُطعِمُنى وَيَسقينِ
[26:79] “The One who feeds me and waters me.
٨٠:وَإِذا مَرِضتُ فَهُوَ يَشفينِ
[26:80] “And when I get sick, He heals me.
٨١:وَالَّذى يُميتُنى ثُمَّ يُحيينِ
[26:81] “The One who puts me to death, then brings me back to life.
٨٢:وَالَّذى أَطمَعُ أَن يَغفِرَ لى خَطيـَٔتى يَومَ الدّينِ
[26:82] “The One who hopefully will forgive my sins on the Day of Judgment.
٨٣:رَبِّ هَب لى حُكمًا وَأَلحِقنى بِالصّٰلِحينَ
[26:83] “My Lord, grant me wisdom, and include me with the righteous.
٨٤:وَاجعَل لى لِسانَ صِدقٍ فِى الـٔاخِرينَ
[26:84] “Let the example I set for the future generations be a good one.
٨٥:وَاجعَلنى مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ النَّعيمِ
[26:85] “Make me one of the inheritors of the blissful Paradise.
٨٦:وَاغفِر لِأَبى إِنَّهُ كانَ مِنَ الضّالّينَ
[26:86] “And forgive my father, for he has gone astray.
٨٧:وَلا تُخزِنى يَومَ يُبعَثونَ
[26:87] “And do not forsake me on the Day of Resurrection.”
٨٨:يَومَ لا يَنفَعُ مالٌ وَلا بَنونَ
[26:88] That is the day when neither money, nor children, can help.
٨٩:إِلّا مَن أَتَى اللَّهَ بِقَلبٍ سَليمٍ
[26:89] Only those who come to GOD with their whole heart (will be saved).
٩٠:وَأُزلِفَتِ الجَنَّةُ لِلمُتَّقينَ
[26:90] Paradise will be presented to the righteous.
٩١:وَبُرِّزَتِ الجَحيمُ لِلغاوينَ
[26:91] Hell will be set up for the strayers.
٩٢:وَقيلَ لَهُم أَينَ ما كُنتُم تَعبُدونَ
They Will Disown Their Idols
[26:92] They will be asked, “Where are the idols you had worshiped
٩٣:مِن دونِ اللَّهِ هَل يَنصُرونَكُم أَو يَنتَصِرونَ
[26:93] “beside GOD ? Can they help you now? Can they help themselves?”
٩٤:فَكُبكِبوا فيها هُم وَالغاوۥنَ
[26:94] They will be thrown therein, together with the strayers.
٩٥:وَجُنودُ إِبليسَ أَجمَعونَ
[26:95] And all of Satan’s soldiers.
٩٦:قالوا وَهُم فيها يَختَصِمونَ
[26:96] They will say as they feud therein,
٩٧:تَاللَّهِ إِن كُنّا لَفى ضَلٰلٍ مُبينٍ
[26:97] “By GOD , we were far astray.
٩٨:إِذ نُسَوّيكُم بِرَبِّ العٰلَمينَ
[26:98] “How could we set you up to rank with the Lord of the universe?
٩٩:وَما أَضَلَّنا إِلَّا المُجرِمونَ
[26:99] “Those who misled us were wicked.
١٠٠:فَما لَنا مِن شٰفِعينَ
[26:100] “Now we have no intercessors.
١٠١:وَلا صَديقٍ حَميمٍ
[26:101] “Nor a single close friend.
١٠٢:فَلَو أَنَّ لَنا كَرَّةً فَنَكونَ مِنَ المُؤمِنينَ
[26:102] “If only we could get another chance, we would then believe.”
١٠٣:إِنَّ فى ذٰلِكَ لَـٔايَةً وَما كانَ أَكثَرُهُم مُؤمِنينَ
[26:103] This should be a good lesson. But most people are not believers.
١٠٤:وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ العَزيزُ الرَّحيمُ
[26:104] Your Lord is the Almighty, Most Merciful.
١٠٥:كَذَّبَت قَومُ نوحٍ المُرسَلينَ
Noah
[26:105] The people of Noah disbelieved the messengers.
١٠٦:إِذ قالَ لَهُم أَخوهُم نوحٌ أَلا تَتَّقونَ
[26:106] Their brother Noah said to them, “Would you not be righteous?
١٠٧:إِنّى لَكُم رَسولٌ أَمينٌ
[26:107] “I am an honest messenger to you.
١٠٨:فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطيعونِ
[26:108] “You shall reverence GOD and obey me.
١٠٩:وَما أَسـَٔلُكُم عَلَيهِ مِن أَجرٍ إِن أَجرِىَ إِلّا عَلىٰ رَبِّ العٰلَمينَ
[26:109] “I do not ask you for any wage. My wage comes from the Lord of the universe.
١١٠:فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطيعونِ
[26:110] “You shall reverence GOD and obey me.”
١١١:قالوا أَنُؤمِنُ لَكَ وَاتَّبَعَكَ الأَرذَلونَ
[26:111] They said, “How can we believe with you, when the worst among us have followed you?”
١١٢:قالَ وَما عِلمى بِما كانوا يَعمَلونَ
[26:112] He said, “How do I know what they did?
١١٣:إِن حِسابُهُم إِلّا عَلىٰ رَبّى لَو تَشعُرونَ
[26:113] “Their judgment rests only with my Lord, if you could perceive.
١١٤:وَما أَنا۠ بِطارِدِ المُؤمِنينَ
[26:114] “I will never dismiss the believers.
١١٥:إِن أَنا۠ إِلّا نَذيرٌ مُبينٌ
[26:115] “I am no more than a clarifying warner.”
١١٦:قالوا لَئِن لَم تَنتَهِ يٰنوحُ لَتَكونَنَّ مِنَ المَرجومينَ
[26:116] They said, “Unless you refrain, O Noah, you will be stoned.”
١١٧:قالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَومى كَذَّبونِ
[26:117] He said, “My Lord, my people have disbelieved me.
١١٨:فَافتَح بَينى وَبَينَهُم فَتحًا وَنَجِّنى وَمَن مَعِىَ مِنَ المُؤمِنينَ
[26:118] “Grant me victory against them, and deliver me and my company of believers.”
١١٩:فَأَنجَينٰهُ وَمَن مَعَهُ فِى الفُلكِ المَشحونِ
[26:119] We delivered him and those who accompanied him in the loaded ark.
١٢٠:ثُمَّ أَغرَقنا بَعدُ الباقينَ
[26:120] Then we drowned the others.
١٢١:إِنَّ فى ذٰلِكَ لَـٔايَةً وَما كانَ أَكثَرُهُم مُؤمِنينَ
[26:121] This should be a lesson, but most people are not believers.
١٢٢:وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ العَزيزُ الرَّحيمُ
[26:122] Most assuredly, your Lord is the Almighty, Most Merciful.
١٢٣:كَذَّبَت عادٌ المُرسَلينَ
Hûd
[26:123] ‘Ãd disbelieved the messengers.
١٢٤:إِذ قالَ لَهُم أَخوهُم هودٌ أَلا تَتَّقونَ
[26:124] Their brother Hûd said to them, “Would you not be righteous?
١٢٥:إِنّى لَكُم رَسولٌ أَمينٌ
[26:125] “I am an honest messenger to you.
١٢٦:فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطيعونِ
[26:126] “You shall reverence GOD , and obey me.
١٢٧:وَما أَسـَٔلُكُم عَلَيهِ مِن أَجرٍ إِن أَجرِىَ إِلّا عَلىٰ رَبِّ العٰلَمينَ
[26:127] “I do not ask you for any wage; my wage comes from the Lord of the universe.
١٢٨:أَتَبنونَ بِكُلِّ ريعٍ ءايَةً تَعبَثونَ
[26:128] “You build on every hill a mansion for vanity’s sake.
١٢٩:وَتَتَّخِذونَ مَصانِعَ لَعَلَّكُم تَخلُدونَ
[26:129] “You set up buildings as if you last forever.
١٣٠:وَإِذا بَطَشتُم بَطَشتُم جَبّارينَ
[26:130] “And when you strike, you strike mercilessly.
١٣١:فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطيعونِ
[26:131] “You shall reverence GOD and obey me.
١٣٢:وَاتَّقُوا الَّذى أَمَدَّكُم بِما تَعلَمونَ
[26:132] “Reverence the One who provided you with all the things you know.
١٣٣:أَمَدَّكُم بِأَنعٰمٍ وَبَنينَ
[26:133] “He provided you with livestock and children.
١٣٤:وَجَنّٰتٍ وَعُيونٍ
[26:134] “And gardens and springs.
١٣٥:إِنّى أَخافُ عَلَيكُم عَذابَ يَومٍ عَظيمٍ
[26:135] “I fear for you the retribution of an awesome day.”
١٣٦:قالوا سَواءٌ عَلَينا أَوَعَظتَ أَم لَم تَكُن مِنَ الوٰعِظينَ
[26:136] They said, “It is the same whether you preach, or not preach.
١٣٧:إِن هٰذا إِلّا خُلُقُ الأَوَّلينَ
[26:137] “That affliction was limited to our ancestors.
١٣٨:وَما نَحنُ بِمُعَذَّبينَ
[26:138] “No retribution will ever befall us.”
١٣٩:فَكَذَّبوهُ فَأَهلَكنٰهُم إِنَّ فى ذٰلِكَ لَـٔايَةً وَما كانَ أَكثَرُهُم مُؤمِنينَ
[26:139] They thus disbelieved and, consequently, we annihilated them. This should be a lesson, but most people are not believers.
١٤٠:وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ العَزيزُ الرَّحيمُ
[26:140] Most assuredly, your Lord is the Almighty, Most Merciful.
١٤١:كَذَّبَت ثَمودُ المُرسَلينَ
Sãleh
[26:141] Thamûd disbelieved the messengers.
١٤٢:إِذ قالَ لَهُم أَخوهُم صٰلِحٌ أَلا تَتَّقونَ
[26:142] Their brother Sãleh said to them, “Would you not be righteous?

[26:145] “I do not ask you for any wage; my wage comes only from the Lord of the universe.
١٤٦:أَتُترَكونَ فى ما هٰهُنا ءامِنينَ
[26:146] “Do you suppose you will be left forever, secure in this state?
١٤٧:فى جَنّٰتٍ وَعُيونٍ
[26:147] “You enjoy gardens and springs.
١٤٨:وَزُروعٍ وَنَخلٍ طَلعُها هَضيمٌ

[26:153] They said, “You are bewitched.
١٥٤:ما أَنتَ إِلّا بَشَرٌ مِثلُنا فَأتِ بِـٔايَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقينَ
[26:154] “You are no more than a human like us. Produce a miracle, if you are truthful.”
١٥٥:قالَ هٰذِهِ ناقَةٌ لَها شِربٌ وَلَكُم شِربُ يَومٍ مَعلومٍ
[26:155] He said, “Here is a camel that will drink only on a day that is assigned to her; a day that is different from your specified days of drinking.
١٥٦:وَلا تَمَسّوها بِسوءٍ فَيَأخُذَكُم عَذابُ يَومٍ عَظيمٍ
[26:156] “Do not touch her with any harm, lest you incur retribution on an awesome day.”
١٥٧:فَعَقَروها فَأَصبَحوا نٰدِمينَ
[26:157] They slaughtered her, and thus incurred sorrow.
١٥٨:فَأَخَذَهُمُ العَذابُ إِنَّ فى ذٰلِكَ لَـٔايَةً وَما كانَ أَكثَرُهُم مُؤمِنينَ
[26:158] The retribution overwhelmed them. This should be a lesson, but most people are not believers.
١٥٩:وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ العَزيزُ الرَّحيمُ
[26:159] Most assuredly, your Lord is the Almighty, Most Merciful.
١٦٠:كَذَّبَت قَومُ لوطٍ المُرسَلينَ
Lot
[26:160] The people of Lot disbelieved the messengers.
١٦١:إِذ قالَ لَهُم أَخوهُم لوطٌ أَلا تَتَّقونَ
[26:161] Their brother Lot said to them, “Would you not be righteous?
١٦٢:إِنّى لَكُم رَسولٌ أَمينٌ
[26:162] “I am an honest messenger to you.
١٦٣:فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطيعونِ
[26:163] “You shall reverence GOD , and obey me.
١٦٤:وَما أَسـَٔلُكُم عَلَيهِ مِن أَجرٍ إِن أَجرِىَ إِلّا عَلىٰ رَبِّ العٰلَمينَ
[26:164] “I do not ask you for any wage; my wage comes only from the Lord of the universe.
١٦٥:أَتَأتونَ الذُّكرانَ مِنَ العٰلَمينَ
[26:165] “Do you have sex with the males, of all the people?
١٦٦:وَتَذَرونَ ما خَلَقَ لَكُم رَبُّكُم مِن أَزوٰجِكُم بَل أَنتُم قَومٌ عادونَ
[26:166] “You forsake the wives that your Lord has created for you! Indeed, you are transgressing people.”

[26:170] We saved him and all his family.
١٧١:إِلّا عَجوزًا فِى الغٰبِرينَ
[26:171] But not the old woman; she was doomed.
١٧٢:ثُمَّ دَمَّرنَا الـٔاخَرينَ
[26:172] We then destroyed the others.
١٧٣:وَأَمطَرنا عَلَيهِم مَطَرًا فَساءَ مَطَرُ المُنذَرينَ
[26:173] We showered them with a miserable shower; what a terrible shower for those who had been warned!
١٧٤:إِنَّ فى ذٰلِكَ لَـٔايَةً وَما كانَ أَكثَرُهُم مُؤمِنينَ

١٨٤:وَاتَّقُوا الَّذى خَلَقَكُم وَالجِبِلَّةَ الأَوَّلينَ
[26:184] “Reverence the One who created you and the previous generations.”
١٨٥:قالوا إِنَّما أَنتَ مِنَ المُسَحَّرينَ
[26:185] They said, “You are bewitched.

[26:188] He said, “My Lord is the One who knows everything you do.”
١٨٩:فَكَذَّبوهُ فَأَخَذَهُم عَذابُ يَومِ الظُّلَّةِ إِنَّهُ كانَ عَذابَ يَومٍ عَظيمٍ
[26:189] They disbelieved him and, consequently, they incurred the retribution of the Day of the Canopy. It was the retribution of an awesome day.
١٩٠:إِنَّ فى ذٰلِكَ لَـٔايَةً وَما كانَ أَكثَرُهُم مُؤمِنينَ
[26:190] This should be a lesson, but most people are not believers.
١٩١:وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ العَزيزُ الرَّحيمُ
[26:191] Most assuredly, your Lord is the Almighty, Most Merciful.
١٩٢:وَإِنَّهُ لَتَنزيلُ رَبِّ العٰلَمينَ
The Quran
[26:192] This is a revelation from the Lord of the universe.
١٩٣:نَزَلَ بِهِ الرّوحُ الأَمينُ
[26:193] The Honest Spirit (Gabriel) came down with it.
١٩٤:عَلىٰ قَلبِكَ لِتَكونَ مِنَ المُنذِرينَ
[26:194] To reveal it into your heart, that you may be one of the warners.
١٩٥:بِلِسانٍ عَرَبِىٍّ مُبينٍ
[26:195] In a perfect Arabic tongue.
١٩٦:وَإِنَّهُ لَفى زُبُرِ الأَوَّلينَ
[26:196] It has been prophesied in the books of previous generations.
١٩٧:أَوَلَم يَكُن لَهُم ءايَةً أَن يَعلَمَهُ عُلَمٰؤُا۟ بَنى إِسرٰءيلَ
[26:197] Is it not a sufficient sign for them that it was known to the scholars among the Children of Israel?
١٩٨:وَلَو نَزَّلنٰهُ عَلىٰ بَعضِ الأَعجَمينَ
The Quran Must Be Translated
[26:198] If we revealed this to people who do not know Arabic.
١٩٩:فَقَرَأَهُ عَلَيهِم ما كانوا بِهِ مُؤمِنينَ
[26:199] And had him recite it (in Arabic), they could not possibly believe in it.
٢٠٠:كَذٰلِكَ سَلَكنٰهُ فى قُلوبِ المُجرِمينَ
[26:200] We thus render it (like a foreign language) in the hearts of the guilty.
٢٠١:لا يُؤمِنونَ بِهِ حَتّىٰ يَرَوُا العَذابَ الأَليمَ
[26:201] Thus, they cannot believe in it; not until they see the painful retribution.
٢٠٢:فَيَأتِيَهُم بَغتَةً وَهُم لا يَشعُرونَ
[26:202] It will come to them suddenly, when they least expect it.
٢٠٣:فَيَقولوا هَل نَحنُ مُنظَرونَ
[26:203] They will then say, “Can we have a respite?”
٢٠٤:أَفَبِعَذابِنا يَستَعجِلونَ
[26:204] Did they not challenge our retribution?
٢٠٥:أَفَرَءَيتَ إِن مَتَّعنٰهُم سِنينَ
[26:205] As you see, we allowed them to enjoy for years.
٢٠٦:ثُمَّ جاءَهُم ما كانوا يوعَدونَ
[26:206] Then the retribution came to them, just as promised.
٢٠٧:ما أَغنىٰ عَنهُم ما كانوا يُمَتَّعونَ
[26:207] Their vast resources did not help them in the least.
٢٠٨:وَما أَهلَكنا مِن قَريَةٍ إِلّا لَها مُنذِرونَ
[26:208] We never annihilate any community without sending warners.
٢٠٩:ذِكرىٰ وَما كُنّا ظٰلِمينَ
[26:209] Therefore, this is a reminder, for we are never unjust.
٢١٠:وَما تَنَزَّلَت بِهِ الشَّيٰطينُ
False Messengers Incapable of Preaching the Worship of God ALONE*
[26:210] The devils can never reveal this.
Footnote*26:210 A false messenger is a messenger of Satan, for he is the fabricator of the most horrendous lie. Such a messenger can never denounce idolatry, or preach the worship of God ALONE.
٢١١:وَما يَنبَغى لَهُم وَما يَستَطيعونَ
[26:211] They neither would, nor could.
٢١٢:إِنَّهُم عَنِ السَّمعِ لَمَعزولونَ
[26:212] For they are prevented from hearing.
٢١٣:فَلا تَدعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلٰهًا ءاخَرَ فَتَكونَ مِنَ المُعَذَّبينَ
[26:213] Therefore, do not idolize beside GOD any other god, lest you incur the retribution.
٢١٤:وَأَنذِر عَشيرَتَكَ الأَقرَبينَ
God's Messenger of the Covenant*
[26:214] You shall preach to the people who are closest to you.
Footnote*26:214-223 These verses refer to God’s Messenger of the Covenant: the sum of the gematrical value of “Rashad Khalifa” (1230), plus the verse number (214) is 1230+ 214=1444=19×76= 19x19x4, and the sum of the verse numbers from 214 through 223 is 2185=19×115 (Appendix 1).
٢١٥:وَاخفِض جَناحَكَ لِمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ المُؤمِنينَ
[26:215] And lower your wing for the believers who follow you.
٢١٦:فَإِن عَصَوكَ فَقُل إِنّى بَرىءٌ مِمّا تَعمَلونَ
[26:216] If they disobey you, then say, “I disown what you do.”
٢١٧:وَتَوَكَّل عَلَى العَزيزِ الرَّحيمِ
[26:217] And put your trust in the Almighty, Most Merciful.
٢١٨:الَّذى يَرىٰكَ حينَ تَقومُ
[26:218] Who sees you when you meditate during the night.
٢١٩:وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى السّٰجِدينَ
[26:219] And your frequent prostrations.
٢٢٠:إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّميعُ العَليمُ
[26:220] He is the Hearer, the Omniscient.
٢٢١:هَل أُنَبِّئُكُم عَلىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ الشَّيٰطينُ
[26:221] Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?
٢٢٢:تَنَزَّلُ عَلىٰ كُلِّ أَفّاكٍ أَثيمٍ
[26:222] They descend upon every guilty fabricator.
٢٢٣:يُلقونَ السَّمعَ وَأَكثَرُهُم كٰذِبونَ
[26:223] They pretend to listen, but most of them are liars.
٢٢٤:وَالشُّعَراءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الغاوۥنَ
[26:224] As for the poets, they are followed only by the strayers.
٢٢٥:أَلَم تَرَ أَنَّهُم فى كُلِّ وادٍ يَهيمونَ
[26:225] Do you not see that their loyalty shifts according to the situation?
٢٢٦:وَأَنَّهُم يَقولونَ ما لا يَفعَلونَ
[26:226] And that they say what they do not do?
٢٢٧:إِلَّا الَّذينَ ءامَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ كَثيرًا وَانتَصَروا مِن بَعدِ ما ظُلِموا وَسَيَعلَمُ الَّذينَ ظَلَموا أَىَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبونَ
[26:227] Exempted are those who believe, lead a righteous life, commemorate GOD frequently, and stand up for their rights. Surely, the transgressors will find out what their ultimate destiny is.
