| 1 | Ta-Sin-Mim. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings.] | |
| |
| 2 | These are the Verses of the manifest Book [(this Qur'an), which was promised by Allah in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), makes things clear]. | |
| |
| 3 | It may be that you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) are going to kill yourself with grief, that they do not become believers [in your Risalah (Messengership) i.e. in your Message of Islamic Monotheism]. | |
| |
| 4 | If We will, We could send down to them from the heaven a sign, to which they would bend their necks in humility. | |
| |
| 5 | And never comes there unto them a Reminder as a recent revelation from the Most Gracious (Allah), but they turn away therefrom. | |
| |
| 6 | So they have indeed denied (the truth - this Qur'an), then the news of what they mocked at will come to them. | |
| |
| 7 | Do they not observe the earth - how much of every good kind We cause to grow therein? | |
| |
| 8 | Verily, in this is an Ayah (proof or sign), yet most of them (polytheists, pagans who do not believe in Resurrection) are not believers. | |
| |
| 9 | And verily your Lord, He is truly the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful. | |
| |
| 10 | And (remember) when your Lord called Musa (Moses) (saying): "Go to the people who are Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) - | |
| |
| 11 | "The people of Fir'aun (Pharaoh): Will they not fear Allah and become righteous?" | |
| |
| 12 | He said: "My Lord! Verily, I fear that they will belie me, | |
| |
| 13 | "And my breast straitens, and my tongue expresses not well. So send for Harun (Aaron) (to come along with me). | |
| |
| 14 | "And they have a charge of crime against me, and I fear they will kill me." | |
| |
| 15 | (Allah) said: "Nay! Go you both with Our Signs. Verily We shall be with you, listening. | |
| |
| 16 | "And go both of you to Fir'aun (Pharaoh), and say: 'We are the Messengers of the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists), | |
| |
| 17 | "So allow the Children of Israel to go with us.' " | |
| |
| 18 | [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said [to Musa (Moses)]: "Did we not bring you up among us as a child? And you did dwell many years of your life with us. | |
| |
| 19 | "And you did your deed, which you did (i.e. the crime of killing a man) while you were one of the ingrates." | |
| |
| 20 | Musa (Moses) said: "I did it then, when I was ignorant (as regards my Lord and His Message). | |
| |
| 21 | "So I fled from you when I feared you. But my Lord has granted me Hukm (i.e. religious knowledge, right judgement of the affairs and Prophethood), and made me one of the Messengers. | |
| |
| 22 | "And this is the past favour with which you reproach me: that you have enslaved the Children of Israel." | |
| |
| 23 | Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said: "And what is the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)?" | |
| |
| 24 | [Musa (Moses)] said: "The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, if you seek to be convinced with certainty." | |
| |
| 25 | [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said to those around: "Do you not hear (what he says)?" | |
| |
| 26 | [Musa (Moses)] said: "Your Lord and the Lord of your ancient fathers!" | |
| |
| 27 | [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "Verily, your Messenger who has been sent to you is a madman!" | |
| |
| 28 | [Musa (Moses)] said: "Lord of the east and the west, and all that is between them, if you did but understand!" | |
| |
| 29 | [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "If you choose an ilah (god) other than me, I will certainly put you among the prisoners." | |
| |
| 30 | [Musa (Moses)] said: "Even if I bring you something manifest (and convincing)?" | |
| |
| 31 | [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "Bring it forth then, if you are of the truthful!" | |
| |
| 32 | So [Musa (Moses)] threw his stick, and behold, it was a serpent, manifest. | |
| |
| 33 | And he drew out his hand, and behold, it was white to all beholders! | |
| |
| 34 | [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said to the chiefs around him: "Verily! This is indeed a well-versed sorcerer. | |
| |
| 35 | "He wants to drive you out of your land by his sorcery: what is it then that you command?" | |
| |
| 36 | They said: "Put him off and his brother (for a while), and send callers to the cities; | |
| |
| 37 | "To bring up to you every well-versed sorcerer." | |
| |
| 38 | So the sorcerers were assembled at a fixed time on a day appointed. | |
| |
| 39 | And it was said to the people: "Are you (too) going to assemble? | |
| |
| 40 | "That we may follow the sorcerers [who were on Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) religion of disbelief] if they are the winners." | |
| |
| 41 | So when the sorcerers arrived, they said to Fir'aun (Pharaoh): "Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners?" | |
| |
| 42 | He said: "Yes, and you shall then verily be of those brought near (to myself)." | |
| |
| 43 | Musa (Moses) said to them: "Throw what you are going to throw!" | |
| |
| 44 | So they threw their ropes and their sticks, and said: "By the might of Fir'aun (Pharaoh), it is we who will certainly win!" | |
| |
| 45 | Then Musa (Moses) threw his stick, and behold, it swallowed up all that they falsely showed! | |
| |
| 46 | And the sorcerers fell down prostrate. | |
| |
| 47 | Saying: "We believe in the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists). | |
| |
| 48 | "The Lord of Musa (Moses) and Harun (Aaron)." | |
| |
| 49 | [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "You have believed in him before I give you leave. Surely, he indeed is your chief, who has taught you magic! So verily, you shall come to know. Verily, I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you all." | |
| |
| 50 | They said: "No harm! Surely, to our Lord (Allah) we are to return. | |
| |
| 51 | "Verily we really hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins, as we are the first of the believers [in Musa (Moses) and in the Monotheism which he has brought from Allah]." | |
| |
| 52 | And We revealed to Musa (Moses), saying: "Depart by night with My slaves, verily you will be pursued." | |
| |
| 53 | Then Fir'aun (Pharaoh) sent callers to (all) the cities. | |
| |
| 54 | (Saying): "Verily these indeed are but a small band. | |
| |
| 55 | "And verily, they have done what has enraged us. | |
| |
| 56 | "But we are a host all assembled, amply fore-warned." | |
| |
| 57 | So, We expelled them from gardens and springs, | |
| |
| 58 | Treasures, and every kind of honourable place. | |
| |
| 59 | Thus [We turned them (Pharaoh's people) out] and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them. | |
| |
| 60 | So they pursued them at sunrise. | |
| |
| 61 | And when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Musa (Moses) said: "We are sure to be overtaken." | |
| |
| 62 | [Musa (Moses)] said: "Nay, verily with me is my Lord. He will guide me." | |
| |
| 63 | Then We revealed to Musa (Moses) (saying): "Strike the sea with your stick." And it parted, and each separate part (of that sea water) became like huge mountain. | |
| |
| 64 | Then We brought near the others [Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) party] to that place. | |
| |
| 65 | And We saved Musa (Moses) and all those with him. | |
| |
| 66 | Then We drowned the others. | |
| |
| 67 | Verily in this is indeed a sign (or a proof), yet most of them are not believers. | |
| |
| 68 | And verily your Lord, He is truly the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful. | |
| |
| 69 | And recite to them the story of Ibrahim (Abraham). | |
| |
| 70 | When he said to his father and his people: "What do you worship?" | |
| |
| 71 | They said: "We worship idols, and to them we are ever devoted." | |
| |
| 72 | He said: "Do they hear you, when you call on (them)? | |
| |
| 73 | "Or do they benefit you or do they harm (you)?" | |
| |
| 74 | They said: "(Nay) but we found our fathers doing so." | |
| |
| 75 | He said: "Do you observe that which you have been worshipping - | |
| |
| 76 | "You and your ancient fathers? | |
| |
| 77 | "Verily they are enemies to me, save the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists), | |
| |
| 78 | "Who has created me, and it is He Who guides me. | |
| |
| 79 | "And it is He Who feeds me and gives me to drink. | |
| |
| 80 | "And when I am ill, it is He who cures me. | |
| |
| 81 | "And Who will cause me to die, and then will bring me to life (again). | |
| |
| 82 | "And Who, I hope, will forgive me my faults on the Day of Recompense, (the Day of Resurrection). | |
| |
| 83 | My Lord! Bestow Hukm (religious knowledge, right judgement of the affairs and Prophethood) on me, and join me with the righteous. | |
| |
| 84 | And grant me an honourable mention in later generations. | |
| |
| 85 | And make me one of the inheritors of the Paradise of Delight. | |
| |
| 86 | And forgive my father, verily he is of the erring. | |
| |
| 87 | And disgrace me not on the Day when (all the creatures) will be resurrected. | |
| |
| 88 | The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail, | |
| |
| 89 | Except him who brings to Allah a clean heart [clean from Shirk (polytheism) and Nifaq (hypocrisy)]." | |
| |
| 90 | And Paradise will be brought near to the Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2). | |
| |
| 91 | And the (Hell) Fire will be placed in full view of the erring. | |
| |
| 92 | And it will be said to them: "Where are those (the false gods whom you used to set up as rivals with Allah) that you used to worship. | |
| |
| 93 | "Instead of Allah? Can they help you or (even) help themselves?" | |
| |
| 94 | Then they will be thrown on their faces into the (Fire), they and the Ghawun (devils, and those who were in error). | |
| |
| 95 | And the whole hosts of Iblis (Satan) together. | |
| |
| 96 | They will say while contending therein, | |
| |
| 97 | By Allah, we were truly in a manifest error, | |
| |
| 98 | When We held you (false gods) as equals (in worship) with the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists); | |
| |
| 99 | And none has brought us into error except the Mujrimun [Iblis (Satan) and those of human beings who commit crimes, murderers, polytheists, oppressors]. | |
| |
| 100 | Now we have no intercessors, | |
| |
| 101 | Nor a close friend (to help us). | |
| |
| 102 | (Alas!) If we only had a chance to return (to the world), we shall truly be among the believers! | |
| |
| 103 | Verily in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers. | |
| |
| 104 | And verily, your Lord, He is truly the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful. | |
| |
| 105 | The people of Nuh (Noah) belied the Messengers. | |
| |
| 106 | When their brother Nuh (Noah) said to them: "Will you not fear Allah and obey Him? | |
| |
| 107 | "I am a trustworthy Messenger to you. | |
| |
| 108 | "So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me. | |
| |
| 109 | "No reward do I ask of you for it (my Message of Islamic Monotheism); my reward is only from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists). | |
| |
| 110 | "So keep your duty to Allah, fear Him and obey me." | |
| |
| 111 | They said: "Shall we believe in you, when the meanest (of the people) follow you?" | |
| |
| 112 | He said: "And what knowledge have I of what they used to do? | |
| |
| 113 | "Their account is only with my Lord, if you could (but) know. | |
| |
| 114 | "And I am not going to drive away the believers. | |
| |
| 115 | I am only a plain warner." | |
| |
| 116 | They said: "If you cease not, O Nuh (Noah) you will surely be among those stoned (to death)." | |
| |
| 117 | He said: "My Lord! Verily, my people have belied me. | |
| |
| 118 | Therefore judge You between me and them, and save me and those of the believers who are with me." | |
| |
| 119 | And We saved him and those with him in the laden ship. | |
| |
| 120 | Then We drowned the rest (disbelievers) thereafter. | |
| |
| 121 | Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers. | |
| |
| 122 | And verily your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful. | |
| |
| 123 | 'Ad (people) belied the Messengers. | |
| |
| 124 | When their brother Hud said to them: "Will you not fear Allah and obey Him? | |
| |
| 125 | "Verily I am a trustworthy Messenger to you. | |
| |
| 126 | "So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me. | |
| |
| 127 | "No reward do I ask of you for it (my Message of Islamic Monotheism); my reward is only from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn, and all that exists). | |
| |
| 128 | "Do you build high palaces on every high place, while you do not live in them? | |
| |
| 129 | "And do you get for yourselves palaces (fine buildings) as if you will live therein for ever. | |
| |
| 130 | "And when you seize (somebody), seize you (him) as tyrants? | |
| |
| 131 | "So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me. | |
| |
| 132 | "And keep your duty to Him, fear Him Who has aided you with all (good things) that you know. | |
| |
| 133 | "He has aided you with cattle and children. | |
| |
| 134 | "And gardens and springs. | |
| |
| 135 | "Verily, I fear for you the torment of a Great Day." | |
| |
| 136 | They said: "It is the same to us whether you preach or be not of those who preach. | |
| |
| 137 | "This is no other than the false tales and religion of the ancients, [Tafsir At-Tabari] | |
| |
| 138 | "And we are not going to be punished." | |
| |
| 139 | So they belied him, and We destroyed them. Verily in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers. | |
| |
| 140 | And verily your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful. | |
| |
| 141 | Thamud (people) belied the Messengers. | |
| |
| 142 | When their brother Salih said to them: "Will you not fear Allah and obey Him? | |
| |
| 143 | "I am a trustworthy Messenger to you. | |
| |
| 144 | "So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me. | |
| |
| 145 | "No reward do I ask of you for it (my Message of Islamic Monotheism); my reward is only from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists). | |
| |
| 146 | "Will you be left secure in that which you have here? | |
| |
| 147 | "In gardens and springs. | |
| |
| 148 | And green crops (fields) and date-palms with soft spadix. | |
| |
| 149 | "And you hew out in the mountains, houses with great skill. | |
| |
| 150 | "So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me. | |
| |
| 151 | "And follow not the command of Al-Musrifun [i.e. their chiefs: leaders who were polytheists, criminals and sinners], | |
| |
| 152 | "Who make mischief in the land, and reform not." | |
| |
| 153 | They said: "You are only of those bewitched! | |
| |
| 154 | "You are but a human being like us. Then bring us a sign if you are of the truthful." | |
| |
| 155 | He said: "Here is a she-camel: it has a right to drink (water), and you have a right to drink (water) (each) on a day, known. | |
| |
| 156 | "And touch her not with harm, lest the torment of a Great Day should seize you." | |
| |
| 157 | But they killed her, and then they became regretful. | |
| |
| 158 | So the torment overtook them. Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers. | |
| |
| 159 | And verily your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful. | |
| |
| 160 | The people of Lut (Lot) (-who dwelt in the town of Sodom in Palestine) belied the Messengers. | |
| |
| 161 | When their brother Lut (Lot) said to them: "Will you not fear Allah and obey Him? | |
| |
| 162 | "Verily I am a trustworthy Messenger to you. | |
| |
| 163 | "So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me. | |
| |
| 164 | "No reward do I ask of you for it (my Message of Islamic Monotheism); my reward is only from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists). | |
| |
| 165 | "Go you in unto the males of the 'Alamin (mankind), | |
| |
| 166 | "And leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your wives? Nay, you are a trespassing people!" | |
| |
| 167 | They said: "If you cease not O Lut (Lot)! verily, you will be one of those who are driven out!" | |
| |
| 168 | He said: "I am, indeed, of those who disapprove with severe anger and fury your (this evil) action (of sodomy). | |
| |
| 169 | "My Lord! Save me and my family from what they do." | |
| |
| 170 | So We saved him and his family, all, | |
| |
| 171 | Except an old woman (his wife) among those who remained behind. | |
| |
| 172 | Then afterward We destroyed the others. | |
| |
| 173 | And We rained on them a rain (of torment). And how evil was the rain of those who had been warned! | |
| |
| 174 | Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers. | |
| |
| 175 | And verily your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful. | |
| |
| 176 | The dwellers of Al-Aikah [near Madyan (Midian)] belied the Messengers. | |
| |
| 177 | When Shu'aib said to them: "Will you not fear Allah (and obey Him)? | |
| |
| 178 | "I am a trustworthy Messenger to you. | |
| |
| 179 | "So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me. | |
| |
| 180 | "No reward do I ask of you for it (my Message of Islamic Monotheism); my reward is only from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists). | |
| |
| 181 | "Give full measure, and cause no loss (to others). | |
| |
| 182 | "And weigh with the true and straight balance. | |
| |
| 183 | "And defraud not people by reducing their things, nor do evil, making corruption and mischief in the land. | |
| |
| 184 | "And fear Him Who created you and the generations of the men of old." | |
| |
| 185 | They said: "You are only one of those bewitched! | |
| |
| 186 | "You are but a human being like us and verily, we think that you are one of the liars! | |
| |
| 187 | "So cause a piece of the heaven to fall on us, if you are of the truthful!" | |
| |
| 188 | He said: "My Lord is the Best Knower of what you do." | |
| |
| 189 | But they belied him, so the torment of the day of shadow (a gloomy cloud) seized them. Indeed that was the torment of a Great Day. | |
| |
| 190 | Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers. | |
| |
| 191 | And verily your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful. | |
| |
| 192 | And truly, this (the Qur'an) is a revelation from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists), | |
| |
| 193 | Which the trustworthy Ruh [Jibril (Gabriel)] has brought down | |
| |
| 194 | Upon your heart (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) that you may be (one) of the warners, | |
| |
| 195 | In the plain Arabic language. | |
| |
| 196 | And verily, it (the Qur'an, and its revelation to Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) is (announced) in the Scriptures [i.e. the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] of former people. | |
| |
| 197 | Is it not a sign to them that the learned scholars (like 'Abdullah bin Salam رضي الله عنه who embraced Islam) of the Children of Israel knew it (as true)? | |
| |
| 198 | And if We had revealed it (this Qur'an) unto any of the non-Arabs, | |
| |
| 199 | And he had recited it unto them, they would not have believed in it. | |
| |
| 200 | Thus have We caused it (the denial of the Qur'an) to enter the hearts of the Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists, sinners). | |
| |
| 201 | They will not believe in it until they see the painful torment. | |
| |
| 202 | It shall come to them of a sudden, while they perceive it not. | |
| |
| 203 | Then they will say: "Can we be respited?" | |
| |
| 204 | Would they then wish for Our Torment to be hastened on? | |
| |
| 205 | Tell Me, (even) if We do let them enjoy for years, | |
| |
| 206 | And afterwards comes to them that (punishment) which they had been promised, | |
| |
| 207 | All that with which they used to enjoy shall not avail them. | |
| |
| 208 | And never did We destroy a township but it had its warners | |
| |
| 209 | By way of reminder, and We have never been unjust. | |
| |
| 210 | And it is not the Shayatin (devils) who have brought it (this Qur'an) down. | |
| |
| 211 | Neither would it suit them, nor they can (produce it). | |
| |
| 212 | Verily, they have been removed far from hearing it. | |
| |
| 213 | So invoke not with Allah another ilah (god) lest you should be among those who receive punishment. | |
| |
| 214 | And warn your tribe (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) of near kindred. | |
| |
| 215 | And be kind and humble to the believers who follow you. | |
| |
| 216 | Then if they disobey you, say: "I am innocent of what you do." | |
| |
| 217 | And put your trust in the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful, | |
| |
| 218 | Who sees you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) when you stand up (alone at night for Tahajjud prayers). | |
| |
| 219 | And your movements among those who fall prostrate (to Allah in the five compulsory congregational prayers). | |
| |
| 220 | Verily He, only He, is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower. | |
| |
| 221 | Shall I inform you (O people!) upon whom the Shayatin (devils) descend? | |
| |
| 222 | They descend on every lying, sinful person. | |
| |
| 223 | Who gives ear (to the devils and they pour what they may have heard of the Unseen from the angels), and most of them are liars. | |
| |
| 224 | As for the poets, the erring ones follow them, | |
| |
| 225 | See you not that they speak about every subject (praising people - right or wrong) in their poetry? | |
| |
| 226 | And that they say what they do not do. | |
| |
| 227 | Except those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous deeds, and remember Allah much, and vindicate themselves after they have been wronged [by replying back in poetry to the unjust poetry (which the pagan poets utter against the Muslims)]. And those who do wrong will come to know by what overturning they will be overturned. | |
