26:2تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِThese are the verses of the clear Book.
26:3لَعَلَّكَ بَـٰخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَPerhaps you will grieve yourself to death because they will not believe.
26:4إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَـٰقُهُمْ لَهَا خَـٰضِعِينَIf we willed, we could send down upon them a sign from the sky, and their necks would remain bent before it in submission.
26:5وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَNo fresh reminder comes to them from the Most Merciful without their turning away from it.
26:6فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنۢبَـٰٓؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَThey have denied it, and news of what they used to mock will surely reach them.
26:7أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍHave they not looked at the earth — how many noble kinds we have caused to grow in it?
26:8إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَSurely in that is a sign, yet most of them were not believers.
26:9وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُAnd indeed, your Lord is the Almighty, the Merciful.
26:10وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئْتِ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَAnd when your Lord called out to Musa: "Go to the wrongdoing people —
26:11قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَthe people of Pharaoh. Will they not be mindful of God?
26:12قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِHe said, "My Lord, I fear they will call me a liar,
26:13وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِى وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِى فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَـٰرُونَMy chest tightens and my tongue will not speak freely, so send for Harun.
26:14وَلَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنۢبٌ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِAnd they hold a charge against me, so I fear they will kill me.
26:15قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ فَٱذْهَبَا بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ ۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَGod said, "No. Go, both of you, with our signs — we are with you, listening."
26:16فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَSo go, both of you, to Pharaoh and say: 'We are messengers from the Lord of all the worlds,
26:17أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَLet the Children of Israel go with us.”'
26:18قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَPharaoh said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and did you not stay with us for years of your life?
26:19وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِى فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَAnd you did the deed you did, and you were among the ungrateful.
26:20قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَآ إِذًا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَMusa said, "I did it then, when I was among those who had lost their way.
26:21فَفَرَرْتُ مِنكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِى رَبِّى حُكْمًا وَجَعَلَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَSo I fled from you when I feared you, and my Lord granted me wisdom and made me one of the messengers.
26:22وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَAnd is this the favor you hold over me — that you enslaved the Children of Israel?
26:23قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَPharaoh said, "And what is the Lord of the Worlds?"
26:24قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَMusa said, "The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them — if only you had certainty."
26:25قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَHe said to those around him, "Do you not hear?"
26:26قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَMusa said, "Your Lord, and the Lord of your forefathers of old."
26:27قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌPharaoh said, "This messenger sent to you is truly mad."
26:28قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَMusa said, "Lord of the east and the west and all that lies between them — if only you would reason."
26:29قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذْتَ إِلَـٰهًا غَيْرِى لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَسْجُونِينَHe said, "If you take any god other than me, I will surely make you one of the imprisoned."
26:30قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَىْءٍ مُّبِينٍMusa said, "Even if I bring you something clear?"
26:31قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَHe said, "Then bring it, if you are telling the truth."
26:32فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِينٌSo he threw down his staff, and at once it was a clear serpent.
26:33وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّـٰظِرِينَAnd he drew out his hand, and there it was — shining white to all who looked on.
26:34قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَسَـٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌHe said to the chiefs around him, "Indeed, this is a skilled sorcerer.
26:35يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَHe means to drive you out of your land with his sorcery, so what do you advise?
26:36قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبْعَثْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَـٰشِرِينَThey said, "Hold him and his brother back, and send gatherers into the cities
26:37يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍto bring you every skilled sorcerer."
26:38فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَـٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍSo the sorcerers were gathered for the appointed time of a known day.
26:39وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَAnd the people were asked, "Will you gather together?
26:40لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَso that we may follow the magicians if they are the victors.
26:41فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَWhen the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Will there be a reward for us if we are the victors?"
26:42قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَHe said, "Yes, and you will then be among those brought near."
26:43قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَMusa said to them, "Throw down whatever you are going to throw."
26:44فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَSo they threw down their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, we are surely the victors."
26:45فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَThen Musa threw his staff, and at once it swallowed up their deceptions.
26:46فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَـٰجِدِينَAnd the magicians fell down prostrate,
26:47قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَThey said, "We believe in the Lord of all the worlds,
26:48رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَthe Lord of Musa and Harun."
26:49قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَـٰفٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَPharaoh said, "You have believed in him before I gave you permission. He must be your chief, the one who taught you magic. Soon you will know: I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all."
26:50قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَThey said, "No harm. To our Lord we are returning.
26:51إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَـٰيَـٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَWe long for our Lord to forgive us our sins, since we are the first to believe.
26:52۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَAnd we revealed to Musa: "Travel by night with my servants — you will surely be pursued."
26:53فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَـٰشِرِينَThen Pharaoh sent gatherers into the cities,
26:54إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ"These people are only a small band,
26:55وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَand indeed, they have enraged us,
26:56وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَـٰذِرُونَand we are a host fully on guard.
26:57فَأَخْرَجْنَـٰهُم مِّن جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍSo we drove them out from gardens and springs,
26:58وَكُنُوزٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍand treasures, and a noble station —
26:59كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَـٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَSo it was. And we gave these things as inheritance to the Children of Israel.
26:60فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَSo they pursued them at sunrise.
26:61فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَـٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَWhen the two hosts came in sight of each other, the companions of Musa said, "We are surely overtaken."
26:62قَالَ كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِHe said, "No — my Lord is with me, and he will guide me."
26:63فَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْبَحْرَ ۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍ كَٱلطَّوْدِ ٱلْعَظِيمِAnd we revealed to Musa: "Strike the sea with your staff." It parted, and each side stood like a great mountain.
26:64وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَAnd we brought the others near to that place,
26:65وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَAnd we delivered Musa and all those with him,
26:66ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَThen we drowned the others.
26:67إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَSurely in that is a sign, yet most of them were not believers.
26:68وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُAnd indeed, your Lord is the Almighty, the Merciful.
26:69وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَAnd recite to them the story of Ibrahim,
26:70إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَا تَعْبُدُونَwhen he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?"
26:71قَالُوا۟ نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَـٰكِفِينَThey said, "We worship idols, and we remain devoted to them."
26:72قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَHe said, "Do they hear you when you call on them?
26:73أَوْ يَنفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَOr do they bring you benefit or harm?
26:74قَالُوا۟ بَلْ وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَThey said, "No — but we found our forefathers doing the same."
26:75قَالَ أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَHe said, "Have you considered what you have been worshipping —
26:76أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلْأَقْدَمُونَyou and your forefathers of old?
26:77فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّ لِّىٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَthey are all enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds,
26:78ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَنِى فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِthe one who created me, and he guides me,
26:79وَٱلَّذِى هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِى وَيَسْقِينِthe one who feeds me and gives me drink,
26:80وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِand when I fall ill, he is the one who heals me;
26:81وَٱلَّذِى يُمِيتُنِى ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِthe one who will cause me to die and then bring me to life,
26:82وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لِى خَطِيٓـَٔتِى يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِand the one I long will forgive me my faults on the day of reckoning.
26:83رَبِّ هَبْ لِى حُكْمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِى بِٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَMy Lord, grant me wisdom and join me with the righteous.
26:84وَٱجْعَل لِّى لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَAnd grant me a tongue of truth among those who come after,
26:85وَٱجْعَلْنِى مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِand make me one of the inheritors of the garden of bliss,
26:86وَٱغْفِرْ لِأَبِىٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَand forgive my father, for he is among those who have gone astray,
26:87وَلَا تُخْزِنِى يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَand do not disgrace me on the day they are raised up,
26:88يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌ وَلَا بَنُونَthe day when neither wealth nor children will be of any benefit,
26:89إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍonly the one who comes to God with a sound heart.
26:90وَأُزْلِفَتِ ٱلْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَAnd the garden will be brought near to the God-conscious,
26:91وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَand jahīm will be brought into view for those who strayed,
26:92وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَAnd it will be said to them, "Where are those you used to worship
26:93مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلْ يَنصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنتَصِرُونَbesides God? Can they help you, or even help themselves?
26:94فَكُبْكِبُوا۟ فِيهَا هُمْ وَٱلْغَاوُۥنَThen they will be hurled into it, they and those who led them astray,
26:95وَجُنُودُ إِبْلِيسَ أَجْمَعُونَand the hosts of Iblis, all together.
26:96قَالُوا۟ وَهُمْ فِيهَا يَخْتَصِمُونَThey will say, as they quarrel with one another there:
26:97تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍBy God, we were truly in clear error,
26:98إِذْ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَwhen we made you equal with the Lord of all the worlds.
26:99وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَAnd none led us astray but the wicked.
26:100فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَـٰفِعِينَSo now we have no intercessors,
26:101وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍnor any devoted friend.
26:102فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَIf only we had another chance, we would be among the believers!
26:103إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَSurely in that is a sign, yet most of them were not believers.
26:104وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُAnd indeed, your Lord is the Almighty, the Merciful.
26:105كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَThe people of Nuh denied the messengers.
26:106إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَWhen their brother Nuh said to them, "Will you not be mindful of God?
26:107إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌI am a trustworthy messenger to you.
26:108فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِSo be mindful of God and obey me.
26:109وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَI ask no reward from you for this; my reward rests only with the Lord of all the worlds.
26:110فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِSo be mindful of God and obey me.
26:111۞ قَالُوٓا۟ أَنُؤْمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلْأَرْذَلُونَThey said, "Should we believe you when only the lowliest follow you?"
26:112قَالَ وَمَا عِلْمِى بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَHe said, "And what knowledge do I have of what they used to do?
26:113إِنْ حِسَابُهُمْ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّى ۖ لَوْ تَشْعُرُونَTheir reckoning rests with my Lord alone — if only you could perceive.
26:114وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَAnd I will not drive away the believers.
26:115إِنْ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌI am only a clear warner.
26:116قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَـٰنُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمَرْجُومِينَThey said, "If you do not stop, Nuh, you will surely be among those stoned."
26:117قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِى كَذَّبُونِHe said, "My Lord, my people have denied me.
26:118فَٱفْتَحْ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَتْحًا وَنَجِّنِى وَمَن مَّعِىَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَSo judge decisively between me and them, and deliver me and those with me among the believers."
26:119فَأَنجَيْنَـٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِSo we saved him and those with him in the laden ship.
26:120ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا بَعْدُ ٱلْبَاقِينَThen, afterward, we drowned those who remained.
26:121إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَSurely in that is a sign, yet most of them were not believers.

26:127وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَI ask no reward from you for this; my reward rests only with the Lord of all the worlds.
26:128أَتَبْنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِيعٍ ءَايَةً تَعْبَثُونَDo you build a monument on every high place, just to amuse yourselves,
26:129وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَخْلُدُونَAnd do you raise fortresses, hoping you will live forever?
26:130وَإِذَا بَطَشْتُم بَطَشْتُمْ جَبَّارِينَAnd when you seize, you seize as tyrants.

26:132وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَمَدَّكُم بِمَا تَعْلَمُونَAnd be mindful of the one who has provided you with all that you know —
26:133أَمَدَّكُم بِأَنْعَـٰمٍ وَبَنِينَwho has provided you with livestock and children,
26:134وَجَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍand gardens and springs,
26:135إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍIndeed, I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous day.
26:136قَالُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْنَآ أَوَعَظْتَ أَمْ لَمْ تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْوَٰعِظِينَThey said, "It is all the same to us whether you admonish us or are not among those who admonish.
26:137إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا خُلُقُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَThis is nothing but the way of the ancients,
26:138وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَand we will not be punished."
26:139فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهْلَكْنَـٰهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَSo they denied him, and we destroyed them. In that is a sign, yet most of them were not believers.
26:140وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُAnd indeed, your Lord is the Almighty, the Merciful.
26:141كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَThamud denied the messengers.
26:142إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ صَـٰلِحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَWhen their brother Salih said to them, "Will you not be mindful of God?
26:143إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌI am a trustworthy messenger to you.

26:146أَتُتْرَكُونَ فِى مَا هَـٰهُنَآ ءَامِنِينَWill you be left secure in what is here,
26:147فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍamid gardens and springs,
26:148وَزُرُوعٍ وَنَخْلٍ طَلْعُهَا هَضِيمٌand fields of crops, and palm trees with tender fruit-stalks?
26:149وَتَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا فَـٰرِهِينَand carving houses out of the mountains with skill?
26:150فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِSo be mindful of God and obey me.
26:151وَلَا تُطِيعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَand do not obey the command of those who go to excess,
26:152ٱلَّذِينَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَthose who spread corruption in the land and do not set things right.
26:153قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَThey said, "You are only one of the bewitched.
26:154مَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا فَأْتِ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَYou are nothing but a human being like us. So bring a sign, if you are truthful.
26:155قَالَ هَـٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةٌ لَّهَا شِرْبٌ وَلَكُمْ شِرْبُ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍHe said, "Here is a she-camel. She has her turn to drink, and you have your turn on an appointed day.
26:156وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍAnd do not touch her with harm, or the punishment of a tremendous day will seize you.
26:157فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ نَـٰدِمِينَBut they hamstrung her, and then came to regret it.
26:158فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَSo the punishment seized them. In that is truly a sign, yet most of them were not believers.
26:159وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُAnd indeed, your Lord is the Almighty, the Merciful.
26:160كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَThe people of Lut denied the messengers.
26:161إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ لُوطٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَWhen their brother Lut said to them, "Will you not be mindful of God?
26:162إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌI am a trustworthy messenger to you.
26:163فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِSo be mindful of God and obey me.
26:164وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَI ask no reward from you for this; my reward rests only with the Lord of all the worlds.
26:165أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَDo you approach the males of all creation,
26:166وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَٰجِكُم ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ عَادُونَand leave aside the spouses your Lord created for you? No — you are a people who transgress.
26:167قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَـٰلُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْرَجِينَThey said, "If you do not stop, Lut, you will surely be among those driven out."
26:168قَالَ إِنِّى لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلْقَالِينَHe said, "I am, truly, among those who detest what you do.
26:169رَبِّ نَجِّنِى وَأَهْلِى مِمَّا يَعْمَلُونَMy Lord, save me and my family from what they do.
26:170فَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَSo we saved him and all his family,
26:171إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِى ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَexcept an old woman among those who stayed behind.
26:172ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَThen we destroyed the others.
26:173وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرًا ۖ فَسَآءَ مَطَرُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَAnd we rained down upon them a rain — how dreadful was the rain on those who had been warned.
26:174إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَSurely in that is a sign, yet most of them were not believers.

26:176كَذَّبَ أَصْحَـٰبُ لْـَٔيْكَةِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَThe people of the thicket denied the messengers.
26:177إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ شُعَيْبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَWhen Shu'ayb said to them, "Will you not be mindful of God?
26:178إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌI am a trustworthy messenger to you.
26:179فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِSo be mindful of God and obey me.
26:180وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَI ask no reward from you for this; my reward rests only with the Lord of all the worlds.
26:181۞ أَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْسِرِينَGive full measure, and do not be among those who cause loss.
26:182وَزِنُوا۟ بِٱلْقِسْطَاسِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِAnd weigh with a true and upright balance.
26:183وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا۟ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَAnd do not cheat people of what is theirs, and do not roam the earth spreading corruption.
26:184وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ وَٱلْجِبِلَّةَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَAnd be mindful of the one who created you and the generations that came before.
26:185قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَThey said, "You are only one of the bewitched.
26:186وَمَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَYou are nothing but a human like us, and we truly think you are one of the liars.
26:187فَأَسْقِطْ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَThen make fragments of the sky fall upon us, if you are truly among the truthful."
26:188قَالَ رَبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَHe said, "My Lord knows best what you do."
26:189فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍSo they denied him, and the punishment of the day of the overshadowing cloud seized them — truly, it was the punishment of a tremendous day.
26:190إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَSurely in that is a sign, yet most of them were not believers.
26:191وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُAnd indeed, your Lord is the Almighty, the Merciful.
26:192وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَIndeed, this is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds,
26:193نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْأَمِينُThe trustworthy Spirit brought it down
26:194عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَupon your heart, that you may be one of the warners,
26:196وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِى زُبُرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَAnd indeed, it is in the scriptures of those who came before.
26:197أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ ءَايَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَـٰٓؤُا۟ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَIs it not a sign for them that the scholars of the Children of Israel recognize it?
26:198وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَـٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ ٱلْأَعْجَمِينَHad we sent it down to one of the non-Arabs,
26:199فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنِينَand he had recited it to them, they would not have believed in it.
26:200كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَـٰهُ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَIn this way we thread it through the hearts of the guilty.
26:201لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَthey will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment,
26:202فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَand it will come upon them suddenly, when they do not perceive it,
26:203فَيَقُولُوا۟ هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَand they will say, "Can we be granted more time?"
26:204أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَDo they seek to hasten our punishment?
26:205أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ سِنِينَHave you considered: if we let them enjoy life for years,
26:206ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَand then what they were promised came upon them,
26:207مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُمَتَّعُونَwhat use to them is all the enjoyment they were given?
26:208وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَNever have we destroyed a town without its having been warned,
26:209ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِينَas a reminder — and never were we unjust.
26:210وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينُIt was not the devils who brought it down.
26:211وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَit would not befit them, nor are they able to,
26:212إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَIndeed, they are barred from hearing it.
26:213فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُعَذَّبِينَSo do not call upon any other god alongside God, or you will be among those who are punished.
26:214وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلْأَقْرَبِينَAnd warn your closest kin,
26:215وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَAnd lower your wing in tenderness to the believers who follow you.
26:216فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَAnd if they disobey you, say, "I am free of what you do."
26:217وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِAnd put your trust in the Almighty, the Merciful,
26:218ٱلَّذِى يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُthe one who sees you when you stand
26:219وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَand your movements among those who prostrate.
26:220إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُIndeed, he is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
26:221هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينُShall I tell you upon whom the devils descend?
26:222تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍThey descend upon every sinful liar.
26:223يُلْقُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَـٰذِبُونَThey strain to listen, and most of them are liars.
26:224وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلْغَاوُۥنَAnd the poets — those who go astray follow them.
26:225أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَDo you not see how they wander aimlessly through every valley,
26:226وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَand that they say what they do not do?
26:227إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَٱنتَصَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَىَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَExcept those who believe, do righteous deeds, remember God often, and defend themselves after they have been wronged. Those who did wrong will come to know what a reversal they will be overturned by.
