Sourate Ash-Shu'ara (26) with hamza shown

In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. Ta. Sin. Mim.i 1

بسم ٱلله ٱلرحمن ٱلرحيم طسم

These are the signs of the explicit Scripture.i 2

تلك ءايت ٱلكتب ٱلمبين

Perhaps you will consume yourself with grief because they are not believers.i 3

لعلك بخع نفسك ألا يكونوا مؤمنين

If We willed, We could send down upon them a sign from the sky before which their necks would stay bowed. 4

إن نشأ ننزل عليهم من ٱلسمآء ءاية فظلت أعنقهم لها خضعين

No new reminder comes to them from the All-Benevolent without them turning away from it. 5

وما يأتيهم من ذكر من ٱلرحمن محدث إلا كانوا عنه معرضين

Yet they have denied; the news of what they used to mock will soon reach them. 6

فقد كذبوا فسيأتيهم أنبؤا ما كانوا به يستهزءون

Have they not seen the earth, how much We have made grow in it of every generous kind? 7

أولم يروا إلى ٱلأرض كم أنبتنا فيها من كل زوج كريم

In that, there is indeed a sign. 8

إن في ذلك لءاية

But most of them are not believers. 8

وما كان أكثرهم مؤمنين

And your Guardian is indeed the All-Powerful, the Benevolent. 9

وإن ربك لهو ٱلعزيز ٱلرحيم

And recall when your Guardian called out to Moussa: 'Go to the unjust people, the people of Fir'awn.i 11

وإذ نادى ربك موسى أن ٱئت ٱلقوم ٱلظلمين قوم فرعون

Will they not become guarded?'i 11

ألا يتقون

He said [Moussa]: 'My Guardian, I fear they will deny me, that my chest will tighten and my tongue will not loosen; so send to Harun. They hold a grievance against me, and I fear they will kill me.'i 14

قال رب إني أخاف أن يكذبون ويضيق صدري ولا ينطلق لساني فأرسل إلى هرون ولهم على ذنب فأخاف أن يقتلون

He said [God]: 'By no means! 15

قال كلا

Go, both of you, with Our signs; We are with you, listening.' 15

فٱذهبا بايتنآ إنا معكم مستمعون

'Go then to Fir'awn and say: We are the messengers of the Guardian of all beings; let the Children of Israel go with us.'i 17

فأتيا فرعون فقولآ إنا رسول رب ٱلعلمين أن أرسل معنا بني إسرءيل

He said [Fir'awn]: 'Did we not raise you among us as a child, and did you not stay among us for years of your life? You committed the act you committed, and you are among those who deny.'i 19

قال ألم نربك فينا وليدا ولبثت فينا من عمرك سنين وفعلت فعلتك ٱلتي فعلت وأنت من ٱلكفرين

He said [Moussa]: 'I did it then, while I was among the astray.i 20

قال فعلتهآ إذا وأنا من ٱلضآلين

So I fled from you when I feared you; then my Guardian granted me judgment and made me one of the messengers. 21

ففررت منكم لما خفتكم فوهب لي ربي حكما وجعلني من ٱلمرسلين

And this favor you reproach me with is that you enslaved the Children of Israel!' 22

وتلك نعمة تمنها على أن عبدت بني إسرءيل

Fir'awn said: 'And what is the Guardian of all beings?'i 23

قال فرعون وما رب ٱلعلمين

He said [Moussa]: 'The Guardian of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you are of those who are certain.'i 24

قال رب ٱلسموت وٱلأرض وما بينهمآ إن كنتم موقنين

He said [Fir'awn] to those around him: 'Do you not listen?'i 25

قال لمن حوله ألا تستمعون

He said [Moussa]: 'Your Guardian and the Guardian of your earliest forefathers.'i 26

قال ربكم ورب ءابآئكم ٱلأولين

He said [Fir'awn]: 'Your messenger who has been sent to you is certainly deranged.'i 27

قال إن رسولكم ٱلذي أرسل إليكم لمجنون

He said [Moussa]: 'The Guardian of the east and the west and what is between them, if you would reason.'i 28

قال رب ٱلمشرق وٱلمغرب وما بينهمآ إن كنتم تعقلون

He said [Fir'awn]: 'If you take a god other than me, I will certainly put you among the imprisoned.'i 29

قال لئن ٱتخذت إلها غيري لأجعلنك من ٱلمسجونين

He said [Moussa]: 'Even if I brought you something explicit?'i 30

قال أولو جئتك بشىء مبين

He said [Fir'awn]: 'Bring it then, if you are among the truthful.'i 31

قال فأت به إن كنت من ٱلصدقين

He threw down his staff, and behold, it was a clear serpent; and he drew out his hand, and behold, it was white to those who looked. 33

فألقى عصاه فإذا هي ثعبان مبين ونزع يده فإذا هي بيضآء للنظرين

He said [Fir'awn] to the court around him: 'This one is truly a knowing worker of illusion, who wants to drive you out of your land by his illusion. What do you propose then?'i 35

قال للملإ حوله إن هذا لسحر عليم يريد أن يخرجكم من أرضكم بسحره فماذا تأمرون

They said [Fir'awn's court]: 'Put him and his brother off, and send gatherers into the cities, who will bring you every great, knowing worker of illusion.'i 37

قالوا أرجه وأخاه وٱبعث في ٱلمدآئن حشرين يأتوك بكل سحار عليم

The workers of illusion were gathered for the appointment of a known day. 38

فجمع ٱلسحرة لميقت يوم معلوم

And it was said to the people: 'Will you gather, so that we may follow the workers of illusion, if they are the victors?' 40

وقيل للناس هل أنتم مجتمعون لعلنا نتبع ٱلسحرة إن كانوا هم ٱلغلبين

When the workers of illusion came, they said to Fir'awn: 'Will there truly be a reward for us, if we are the victors?'i 41

فلما جآء ٱلسحرة قالوا لفرعون أئن لنا لأجرا إن كنا نحن ٱلغلبين

He said [Fir'awn]: 'Yes, and you will then certainly be among those brought near.'i 42

قال نعم وإنكم إذا لمن ٱلمقربين

Moussa said to them: 'Throw what you have to throw.'i 43

قال لهم موسى ألقوا مآ أنتم ملقون

So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said: 'By the might of Fir'awn, it is we, indeed, who will be the victors!'i 44

فألقوا حبالهم وعصيهم وقالوا بعزة فرعون إنا لنحن ٱلغلبون

Then Moussa threw his staff, and behold, it swallowed up what they had fabricated as illusion.i 45

فألقى موسى عصاه فإذا هي تلقف ما يأفكون

The workers of illusion then fell down prostrate. 46

فألقي ٱلسحرة سجدين

They said [the workers of illusion]: 'We believe in the Guardian of all beings, the Guardian of Moussa and Harun.'i 48

قالوا ءامنا برب ٱلعلمين رب موسى وهرون

He said [Fir'awn]: 'Have you believed in him before I gave you permission? He is certainly your chief, who taught you illusion.i 49

قال ءامنتم له قبل أن ءاذن لكم إنه لكبيركم ٱلذي علمكم ٱلسحر

You will soon know. 49

فلسوف تعلمون

I will certainly cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and crucify you all together.'i 49

لأقطعن أيديكم وأرجلكم من خلف ولأصلبنكم أجمعين

They said [the workers of illusion]: 'No harm! 50

قالوا لا ضير

It is to our Guardian that we are turning back. 50

إنآ إلى ربنا منقلبون

We hope our Guardian will forgive us our faults, since we are the first of the believers.' 51

إنا نطمع أن يغفر لنا ربنا خطينآ أن كنآ أول ٱلمؤمنين

And We revealed to Moussa: 'Set out by night with My obedient ones; you will be pursued.'i 52

وأوحينآ إلى موسى أن أسر بعبادي إنكم متبعون

Fir'awn then sent gatherers into the cities:i 53

فأرسل فرعون في ٱلمدآئن حشرين

'These are indeed a small band, and they enrage us, and we are, all together, a vigilant force.'i 56

إن هؤلآء لشرذمة قليلون وإنهم لنا لغآئظون وإنا لجميع حذرون

So We brought them out of gardens and springs, and treasures and a noble station. 58

فأخرجنهم من جنت وعيون وكنوز ومقام كريم

Thus. 59

كذلك

And We made the Children of Israel inherit them, and they pursued them at sunrise. 60

وأورثنها بني إسرءيل فأتبعوهم مشرقين

And when the two groups saw each other, the companions of Moussa said: 'We are certainly overtaken!'i 61

فلما ترءا ٱلجمعان قال أصحب موسى إنا لمدركون

He said [Moussa]: 'By no means!i 62

قال كلآ

My Guardian is indeed with me; He will guide me.' 62

إن معي ربي سيهدين

We then revealed to Moussa: 'Strike the sea with your staff.' It split, and each part was like an immense mountain.i 63

فأوحينآ إلى موسى أن ٱضرب بعصاك ٱلبحر فٱنفلق فكان كل فرق كٱلطود ٱلعظيم

And We brought the others close there. 64

وأزلفنا ثم ٱلءاخرين

And We saved Moussa and all those with him, then We drowned the others.i 66

وأنجينا موسى ومن معه أجمعين ثم أغرقنا ٱلءاخرين

In that, there is indeed a sign. 67

إن في ذلك لءاية

But most of them are not believers. 67

وما كان أكثرهم مؤمنين

And your Guardian is indeed the All-Powerful, the Benevolent. 68

وإن ربك لهو ٱلعزيز ٱلرحيم

And recite to them the account of Ibrahim, when he said to his father and his people: 'What do you obey?'i 70

وٱتل عليهم نبأ إبرهيم إذ قال لأبيه وقومه ما تعبدون

They said [Ibrahim's people]: 'We obey idols, and we remain devoted to them.'i 71

قالوا نعبد أصناما فنظل لها عكفين

He said [Ibrahim]: 'Do they hear you when you call upon them, or do they benefit you, or do they harm you?'i 73

قال هل يسمعونكم إذ تدعون أو ينفعونكم أو يضرون

They said [Ibrahim's people]: 'No, but we found our ancestors acting thus.'i 74

قالوا بل وجدنآ ءابآءنا كذلك يفعلون

He said [Ibrahim]: "Have you then seen what you used to obey, you and your most distant forefathers? They are indeed enemies to me,i 77

قال أفرءيتم ما كنتم تعبدون أنتم وءابآؤكم ٱلأقدمون فإنهم عدو لي

except the Guardian of all beings, the one who created me and who guides me, 78

إلا رب ٱلعلمين ٱلذي خلقني فهو يهدين

and the one who feeds me and gives me drink, and who, when I am ill, heals me, 80

وٱلذي هو يطعمني ويسقين وإذا مرضت فهو يشفين

and the one who will cause me to die then bring me back to life, 81

وٱلذي يميتني ثم يحيين

and the one from whom I hope forgiveness for my fault on the Day of Retribution.i 82

وٱلذي أطمع أن يغفر لي خطيتي يوم ٱلدين

My Guardian, grant me judgment and join me with the righteous, 83

رب هب لي حكما وألحقني بٱلصلحين

and grant me a tongue of truth among those who come after, 84

وٱجعل لي لسان صدق في ٱلءاخرين

and make me one of the heirs of the garden of blessing,i 85

وٱجعلني من ورثة جنة ٱلنعيم

and forgive my father, for he was among the astray, 86

وٱغفر لأبي إنه كان من ٱلضآلين

and do not disgrace me on the day they are resurrected, the day when neither wealth nor sons will be of use, except to one who comes to God with an intact Core.i 89

ولا تخزني يوم يبعثون يوم لا ينفع مال ولا بنون إلا من أتى ٱلله بقلب سليم

And the garden will be brought near to those who guard themselves, 90

وأزلفت ٱلجنة للمتقين

and the Blaze will be shown to those astray.i 91

وبرزت ٱلجحيم للغاوين

And it will be said to them: 'Where are those you used to obey, besides God, 93

وقيل لهم أين ما كنتم تعبدون من دون ٱلله

do they help you, or do they help themselves?' 93

هل ينصرونكم أو ينتصرون

They will be cast into it, they, those astray, and the troops of the Despairing One [Iblis], all together.i 95

فكبكبوا فيها هم وٱلغاون وجنود إبليس أجمعون

They will say, disputing there: 'By God, we were indeed in explicit error, when we set you on the same level as the Guardian of all beings.i 98

قالوا وهم فيها يختصمون تٱلله إن كنا لفي ضلل مبين إذ نسويكم برب ٱلعلمين

And it was only the severed who led us astray. 99

ومآ أضلنآ إلا ٱلمجرمون

So we have neither intercessors, nor a devoted friend. 101

فما لنا من شفعين ولا صديق حميم

If only we had a return, we would be among the believers!' 102

فلو أن لنا كرة فنكون من ٱلمؤمنين

In that, there is indeed a sign. 103

إن في ذلك لءاية

But most of them are not believers. 103

وما كان أكثرهم مؤمنين

And your Guardian is indeed the All-Powerful, the Benevolent. 104

وإن ربك لهو ٱلعزيز ٱلرحيم

The people of Nuh denied the messengers, when their brother Nuh said to them: 'Will you not guard yourselves? I am for you a trustworthy messenger.i 107

كذبت قوم نوح ٱلمرسلين إذ قال لهم أخوهم نوح ألا تتقون إني لكم رسول أمين

So guard yourselves before God and obey me. 108

فٱتقوا ٱلله وأطيعون

I ask you no reward for this; 109

ومآ أسلكم عليه من أجر

my reward is due only from the Guardian of all beings. 109

إن أجري إلا على رب ٱلعلمين

So guard yourselves before God and obey me.' 110

فٱتقوا ٱلله وأطيعون

They said [Nuh's people]: 'Shall we believe in you while it is the most abject who have followed you?'i 111

قالوا أنؤمن لك وٱتبعك ٱلأرذلون

He said [Nuh]: 'What do I know of what they used to do?i 112

قال وما علمي بما كانوا يعملون

Their account is due only to my Guardian, if only you could perceive it. 113

إن حسابهم إلا على ربي لو تشعرون

And I am not one to drive away the believers; I am only an explicit warner.' 115

ومآ أنا بطارد ٱلمؤمنين إن أنا إلا نذير مبين

Nuh's people said: "If you do not stop, O Nuh, you will certainly be among the banished."i 116

قالوا لئن لم تنته ينوح لتكونن من ٱلمرجومين

He said [Nuh]: 'My Guardian, my people have denied me. Judge then between me and them decisively, and save me and those of the believers who are with me.'i 118

قال رب إن قومي كذبون فٱفتح بيني وبينهم فتحا ونجني ومن معي من ٱلمؤمنين

So We saved him and those with him, in the laden vessel. 119

فأنجينه ومن معه في ٱلفلك ٱلمشحون

Then We drowned afterward those who remained. 120

ثم أغرقنا بعد ٱلباقين

In that, there is indeed a sign. 121

إن في ذلك لءاية

But most of them are not believers. 121

وما كان أكثرهم مؤمنين

And your Guardian is indeed the All-Powerful, the Benevolent. 122

وإن ربك لهو ٱلعزيز ٱلرحيم

The Recidivists [Aad] denied the messengers, when their brother Hud said to them: 'Will you not guard yourselves? I am for you a trustworthy messenger. 125

كذبت عاد ٱلمرسلين إذ قال لهم أخوهم هود ألا تتقون إني لكم رسول أمين

So guard yourselves before God and obey me. 126

فٱتقوا ٱلله وأطيعون

I ask you no reward for this; 127

ومآ أسلكم عليه من أجر

my reward is due only from the Guardian of all beings. 127

إن أجري إلا على رب ٱلعلمين

Do you build on every height a monument, in play, and take for yourselves works in hope of lasting forever, and when you seize, you seize as tyrants? 130

أتبنون بكل ريع ءاية تعبثون وتتخذون مصانع لعلكم تخلدون وإذا بطشتم بطشتم جبارين

So guard yourselves before God and obey me. 131

فٱتقوا ٱلله وأطيعون

And guard yourselves before the One who has provided you with what you know: He has provided you with livestock, sons, gardens and springs. 134

وٱتقوا ٱلذي أمدكم بما تعلمون أمدكم بأنعم وبنين وجنت وعيون

I fear for you the punishment of an immense day.' 135

إني أخاف عليكم عذاب يوم عظيم

They said [Aad's people]: 'It is the same to us whether you warn or are not among those who warn; this is only the custom of the ancients, and we shall not be punished.' 138

قالوا سوآء علينآ أوعظت أم لم تكن من ٱلوعظين إن هذآ إلا خلق ٱلأولين وما نحن بمعذبين

So they denied him, and We destroyed them. 139

فكذبوه فأهلكنهم

In that, there is indeed a sign. 139

إن في ذلك لءاية

But most of them are not believers. 139

وما كان أكثرهم مؤمنين

And your Guardian is indeed the All-Powerful, the Benevolent. 140

وإن ربك لهو ٱلعزيز ٱلرحيم

The Depleters [Thamud] denied the messengers, when their brother Salih said to them: 'Will you not guard yourselves? I am for you a trustworthy messenger.i 143

كذبت ثمود ٱلمرسلين إذ قال لهم أخوهم صلح ألا تتقون إني لكم رسول أمين

So guard yourselves before God and obey me. 144

فٱتقوا ٱلله وأطيعون

I ask you no reward for this; 145

ومآ أسلكم عليه من أجر

my reward is due only from the Guardian of all beings. 145

إن أجري إلا على رب ٱلعلمين

Will you be left secure here, amid gardens and springs, and crops and date-palms with tender clusters, while you carve houses out of the mountains, skilled and expert?i 149

أتتركون في ما ههنآ ءامنين في جنت وعيون وزروع ونخل طلعها هضيم وتنحتون من ٱلجبال بيوتا فرهين

So guard yourselves before God and obey me. 150

فٱتقوا ٱلله وأطيعون

And do not obey the command of the excessive, who spread corruption on the earth and set nothing right. 152

ولا تطيعوا أمر ٱلمسرفين ٱلذين يفسدون في ٱلأرض ولا يصلحون

They said [Thamud's people]: 'You are only among the bewitched; you are only a man like us; bring then a sign, if you are among the truthful.' 154

قالوا إنمآ أنت من ٱلمسحرين مآ أنت إلا بشر مثلنا فأت باية إن كنت من ٱلصدقين

He said [Salih]: 'Here is a she-camel; she has a right to drink,i 155

قال هذه ناقة لها شرب

and you have a right to drink on a known day. 155

ولكم شرب يوم معلوم

Do her no harm, or the punishment of an immense day will seize you.' 156

ولا تمسوها بسوء فيأخذكم عذاب يوم عظيم

Yet they hamstrung her, then found themselves full of regret, and the punishment seized them. 158

فعقروها فأصبحوا ندمين فأخذهم ٱلعذاب

In that, there is indeed a sign. 158

إن في ذلك لءاية

But most of them are not believers. 158

وما كان أكثرهم مؤمنين

And your Guardian is indeed the All-Powerful, the Benevolent. 159

وإن ربك لهو ٱلعزيز ٱلرحيم

The people of Lut denied the messengers, when their brother Lut said to them: 'Will you not guard yourselves? I am for you a trustworthy messenger.i 162

كذبت قوم لوط ٱلمرسلين إذ قال لهم أخوهم لوط ألا تتقون إني لكم رسول أمين

So guard yourselves before God and obey me. 163

فٱتقوا ٱلله وأطيعون

I ask you no reward for this; 164

ومآ أسلكم عليه من أجر

my reward is due only from the Guardian of all beings. 164

إن أجري إلا على رب ٱلعلمين

Do you approach males, among all beings, and leave what your Guardian has created for you as spouses?i 166

أتأتون ٱلذكران من ٱلعلمين وتذرون ما خلق لكم ربكم من أزوجكم

You are rather a people who overstep. 166

بل أنتم قوم عادون

They said [Lut's people]: 'If you do not stop, O Lut, you will certainly be among those expelled.'i 167

قالوا لئن لم تنته يلوط لتكونن من ٱلمخرجين

He said [Lut]: 'I am certainly, toward your conduct, among those who abhor.i 168

قال إني لعملكم من ٱلقالين

My Guardian, save me, and my family, from what they do.' 169

رب نجني وأهلي مما يعملون

So We saved him, and all his family, except an old woman, among those who remained behind; then We destroyed afterward the others. 172

فنجينه وأهله أجمعين إلا عجوزا في ٱلغبرين ثم دمرنا ٱلءاخرين

And We rained down upon them a rain; 173

وأمطرنا عليهم مطرا

how evil was the rain of those who had been warned! 173

فسآء مطر ٱلمنذرين

In that, there is indeed a sign. 174

إن في ذلك لءاية

But most of them are not believers. 174

وما كان أكثرهم مؤمنين

And your Guardian is indeed the All-Powerful, the Benevolent. 175

وإن ربك لهو ٱلعزيز ٱلرحيم

The people of the Thicket denied the messengers, when Shu'ayb said to them: 'Will you not guard yourselves? I am for you a trustworthy messenger.i 178

كذب أصحب ليكة ٱلمرسلين إذ قال لهم شعيب ألا تتقون إني لكم رسول أمين

So guard yourselves before God and obey me. 179

فٱتقوا ٱلله وأطيعون

I ask you no reward for this; 180

ومآ أسلكم عليه من أجر

my reward is due only from the Guardian of all beings. 180

إن أجري إلا على رب ٱلعلمين

Give full measure, 181

أوفوا ٱلكيل

and do not be among those who cause loss. 181

ولا تكونوا من ٱلمخسرين

Weigh with the exact scale, 182

وزنوا بٱلقسطاس ٱلمستقيم

and do not deprive people of their possessions, 183

ولا تبخسوا ٱلناس أشيآءهم

and do not spread corruption on the earth as troublemakers. 183

ولا تعثوا في ٱلأرض مفسدين

Guard yourselves before the One who created you, and the earlier generations. 184

وٱتقوا ٱلذي خلقكم وٱلجبلة ٱلأولين

They said [the people of the Thicket]: 'You are only among the bewitched; you are only a man like us, and we certainly consider you among the liars. So cause a fragment of the sky to fall upon us, if you are among the truthful.' 187

قالوا إنمآ أنت من ٱلمسحرين ومآ أنت إلا بشر مثلنا وإن نظنك لمن ٱلكذبين فأسقط علينا كسفا من ٱلسمآء إن كنت من ٱلصدقين

He said [Shu'ayb]: 'My Guardian knows best what you do.' 188

قال ربي أعلم بما تعملون

So they denied him, and the punishment of the day of shadow seized them. 189

فكذبوه فأخذهم عذاب يوم ٱلظلة

It was certainly the punishment of an immense day. 189

إنه كان عذاب يوم عظيم

In that, there is indeed a sign. 190

إن في ذلك لءاية

But most of them are not believers. 190

وما كان أكثرهم مؤمنين

And your Guardian is indeed the All-Powerful, the Benevolent. 191

وإن ربك لهو ٱلعزيز ٱلرحيم

And this is indeed a revelation from the Guardian of all beings. 192

وإنه لتنزيل رب ٱلعلمين

The trustworthy Influx came down with it, upon your Core, so that you may be among the warners, in impeccable, explicit tongue.i 195

نزل به ٱلروح ٱلأمين على قلبك لتكون من ٱلمنذرين بلسان عربي مبين

And this is indeed found in the Formularies of the ancients.i 196

وإنه لفي زبر ٱلأولين

Is it not a sign for them, that the scholars of the Children of Israel know it? 197

أولم يكن لهم ءاية أن يعلمه علمؤا بني إسرءيل

And if We had sent it down upon one of those whose tongue is not impeccable, and he had recited it to them, they would not have believed in it.i 199

ولو نزلنه على بعض ٱلأعجمين فقرأه عليهم ما كانوا به مؤمنين

Thus We have made it penetrate the Cores of the severed; they will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment, which will come to them suddenly, without their perceiving it, and they will say then: 'Will we be granted a delay?'i 203

كذلك سلكنه في قلوب ٱلمجرمين لا يؤمنون به حتى يروا ٱلعذاب ٱلأليم فيأتيهم بغتة وهم لا يشعرون فيقولوا هل نحن منظرون

Is it then Our punishment that they seek to hasten? 204

أفبعذابنا يستعجلون

Do you see? If We granted them enjoyment for years, then what they were promised came to them, of what use to them was the enjoyment they were granted? 207

أفرءيت إن متعنهم سنين ثم جآءهم ما كانوا يوعدون مآ أغنى عنهم ما كانوا يمتعون

And We did not destroy any city without it having had warners, as a reminder; 209

ومآ أهلكنا من قرية إلا لها منذرون ذكرى

and We have never been unjust. 209

وما كنا ظلمين

And it is not the Diverters who descended with it; that does not suit them, and they cannot do it.i 211

وما تنزلت به ٱلشيطين وما ينبغي لهم وما يستطيعون

They are indeed kept away from all listening. 212

إنهم عن ٱلسمع لمعزولون

So do not invoke, alongside God, another god, or you would be among the punished. 213

فلا تدع مع ٱلله إلها ءاخر فتكون من ٱلمعذبين

And warn your closest clan, and lower your wing toward those who follow you, among the believers. 215

وأنذر عشيرتك ٱلأقربين وٱخفض جناحك لمن ٱتبعك من ٱلمؤمنين

If they disobey you, say then: 'I am innocent of what you do.' 216

فإن عصوك فقل إني بريء مما تعملون

And take as mandatory the All-Powerful, the Benevolent, the one who sees you when you stand, and your movement among those who prostrate.i 219

وتوكل على ٱلعزيز ٱلرحيم ٱلذي يرىك حين تقوم وتقلبك في ٱلسجدين

🖼

It is He, indeed, the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. 220

إنه هو ٱلسميع ٱلعليم

Shall I inform you upon whom the Diverters descend? They descend upon every inveterate liar, laden with transgressions, who lend an ear, and most of them are liars.i 223

هل أنبئكم على من تنزل ٱلشيطين تنزل على كل أفاك أثيم يلقون ٱلسمع وأكثرهم كذبون

And the beguiling rhetoricians, it is those astray who follow them.i 224

وٱلشعرآء يتبعهم ٱلغاون

Do you not see that they ramble on about every subject, and that they say what they never do?i 226

ألم تر أنهم في كل واد يهيمون وأنهم يقولون ما لا يفعلون

except those who have believed, done righteous works, invoked God abundantly, and defended themselves after being wronged; 227

إلا ٱلذين ءامنوا وعملوا ٱلصلحت وذكروا ٱلله كثيرا وٱنتصروا من بعد ما ظلموا

and those who have done injustice will soon know to what turning point they will turn. 227

وسيعلم ٱلذين ظلموا أى منقلب ينقلبون
