سُورَةُ الشُّعَرَاءِ

English — Saheeh International

Ta, Seen, Meem.

English — Saheeh International

These are the verses of the clear Book.

English — Saheeh International

Perhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.

English — Saheeh International

If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.

English — Saheeh International

And no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.

English — Saheeh International

For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule.

English — Saheeh International

Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind?

English — Saheeh International

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

English — Saheeh International

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

English — Saheeh International

And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people -

English — Saheeh International

The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allah?"

English — Saheeh International

He said, "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me

English — Saheeh International

And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron.

English — Saheeh International

And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me."

English — Saheeh International

[Allah] said, "No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening.

English — Saheeh International

Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds,

English — Saheeh International

[Commanded to say], "Send with us the Children of Israel."'"

English — Saheeh International

[Pharaoh] said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life?

English — Saheeh International

And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful."

English — Saheeh International

[Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray.

English — Saheeh International

So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me wisdom and prophethood and appointed me [as one] of the messengers.

English — Saheeh International

And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?"

English — Saheeh International

Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds?"

English — Saheeh International

[Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced."

English — Saheeh International

[Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear?"

English — Saheeh International

[Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers."

English — Saheeh International

[Pharaoh] said, "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad."

English — Saheeh International

[Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason."

English — Saheeh International

[Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned."

English — Saheeh International

[Moses] said, "Even if I brought you proof manifest?"

English — Saheeh International

[Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful."

English — Saheeh International

So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest.

English — Saheeh International

And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers.

English — Saheeh International

[Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician.

English — Saheeh International

He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise?"

English — Saheeh International

They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers

English — Saheeh International

Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician."

English — Saheeh International

So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day.

English — Saheeh International

And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate

English — Saheeh International

That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"

English — Saheeh International

And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?"

English — Saheeh International

He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]."

English — Saheeh International

Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw."

English — Saheeh International

So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant."

English — Saheeh International

Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified.

English — Saheeh International

So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah].

English — Saheeh International

They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,

English — Saheeh International

The Lord of Moses and Aaron."

English — Saheeh International

[Pharaoh] said, "You believed Moses before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all."

English — Saheeh International

They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return.

English — Saheeh International

Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers."

English — Saheeh International

And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued."

English — Saheeh International

Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers

English — Saheeh International

[And said], "Indeed, those are but a small band,

English — Saheeh International

And indeed, they are enraging us,

English — Saheeh International

And indeed, we are a cautious society... "

English — Saheeh International

So We removed them from gardens and springs

English — Saheeh International

And treasures and honorable station -

English — Saheeh International

Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel.

English — Saheeh International

So they pursued them at sunrise.

English — Saheeh International

And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken!"

English — Saheeh International

[Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me."

English — Saheeh International

Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain.

English — Saheeh International

And We advanced thereto the pursuers.

English — Saheeh International

And We saved Moses and those with him, all together.

English — Saheeh International

Then We drowned the others.

English — Saheeh International

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

English — Saheeh International

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

English — Saheeh International

And recite to them the news of Abraham,

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

They said, "We worship idols and remain to them devoted."

English — Saheeh International

He said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate?

English — Saheeh International

Or do they benefit you, or do they harm?"

English — Saheeh International

They said, "But we found our fathers doing thus."

English — Saheeh International

He said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping,

English — Saheeh International

You and your ancient forefathers?

English — Saheeh International

Indeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds,

English — Saheeh International

Who created me, and He [it is who] guides me.

English — Saheeh International

And it is He who feeds me and gives me drink.

English — Saheeh International

And when I am ill, it is He who cures me

English — Saheeh International

And who will cause me to die and then bring me to life

English — Saheeh International

And who I aspire that He will forgive me my sin on the Day of Recompense."

English — Saheeh International

[And he said], "My Lord, grant me authority and join me with the righteous.

English — Saheeh International

And grant me a reputation of honor among later generations.

English — Saheeh International

And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Pleasure.

English — Saheeh International

And forgive my father. Indeed, he has been of those astray.

English — Saheeh International

And do not disgrace me on the Day they are [all] resurrected -

English — Saheeh International

The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children

English — Saheeh International

But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart."

English — Saheeh International

And Paradise will be brought near [that Day] to the righteous.

English — Saheeh International

And Hellfire will be brought forth for the deviators,

English — Saheeh International

And it will be said to them, "Where are those you used to worship

English — Saheeh International

Other than Allah? Can they help you or help themselves?"

English — Saheeh International

So they will be overturned into Hellfire, they and the deviators

English — Saheeh International

And the soldiers of Iblees, all together.

English — Saheeh International

They will say while they dispute therein,

English — Saheeh International

"By Allah, we were indeed in manifest error

English — Saheeh International

When we equated you with the Lord of the worlds.

English — Saheeh International

And no one misguided us except the criminals.

English — Saheeh International

So now we have no intercessors

English — Saheeh International

And not a devoted friend.

English — Saheeh International

Then if we only had a return [to the world] and could be of the believers... "

English — Saheeh International

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

English — Saheeh International

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

English — Saheeh International

The people of Noah denied the messengers

English — Saheeh International

When their brother Noah said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

English — Saheeh International

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

English — Saheeh International

So fear Allah and obey me.

English — Saheeh International

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

English — Saheeh International

So fear Allah and obey me."

English — Saheeh International

They said, "Should we believe you while you are followed by the lowest [class of people]?"

English — Saheeh International

He said, "And what is my knowledge of what they used to do?

English — Saheeh International

Their account is only upon my Lord, if you [could] perceive.

English — Saheeh International

And I am not one to drive away the believers.

English — Saheeh International

I am only a clear warner."

English — Saheeh International

They said, "If you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be of those who are stoned."

English — Saheeh International

He said, "My Lord, indeed my people have denied me.

English — Saheeh International

Then judge between me and them with decisive judgement and save me and those with me of the believers."

English — Saheeh International

So We saved him and those with him in the laden ship.

English — Saheeh International

Then We drowned thereafter the remaining ones.

English — Saheeh International

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

English — Saheeh International

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

English — Saheeh International

'Aad denied the messengers

English — Saheeh International

When their brother Hud said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

English — Saheeh International

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

English — Saheeh International

So fear Allah and obey me.

English — Saheeh International

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

English — Saheeh International

Do you construct on every elevation a sign, amusing yourselves,

English — Saheeh International

And take for yourselves palaces and fortresses that you might abide eternally?

English — Saheeh International

And when you strike, you strike as tyrants.

English — Saheeh International

So fear Allah and obey me.

English — Saheeh International

And fear He who provided you with that which you know,

English — Saheeh International

Provided you with grazing livestock and children

English — Saheeh International

And gardens and springs.

English — Saheeh International

Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day."

English — Saheeh International

They said, "It is all the same to us whether you advise or are not of the advisors.

English — Saheeh International

This is not but the custom of the former peoples,

English — Saheeh International

And we are not to be punished."

English — Saheeh International

And they denied him, so We destroyed them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

English — Saheeh International

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

English — Saheeh International

Thamud denied the messengers

English — Saheeh International

When their brother Salih said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

English — Saheeh International

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

English — Saheeh International

So fear Allah and obey me.

English — Saheeh International

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

English — Saheeh International

Will you be left in what is here, secure [from death],

English — Saheeh International

Within gardens and springs

English — Saheeh International

And fields of crops and palm trees with softened fruit?

English — Saheeh International

And you carve out of the mountains, homes, with skill.

English — Saheeh International

So fear Allah and obey me.

English — Saheeh International

And do not obey the order of the transgressors,

English — Saheeh International

Who cause corruption in the land and do not amend."

English — Saheeh International

They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.

English — Saheeh International

You are but a man like ourselves, so bring a sign, if you should be of the truthful."

English — Saheeh International

He said, "This is a she-camel. For her is a [time of] drink, and for you is a [time of] drink, [each] on a known day.

English — Saheeh International

And do not touch her with harm, lest you be seized by the punishment of a terrible day."

English — Saheeh International

But they hamstrung her and so became regretful.

English — Saheeh International

And the punishment seized them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

English — Saheeh International

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

English — Saheeh International

The people of Lot denied the messengers

English — Saheeh International

When their brother Lot said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

English — Saheeh International

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

English — Saheeh International

So fear Allah and obey me.

English — Saheeh International

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

English — Saheeh International

Do you approach males among the worlds

English — Saheeh International

And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing."

English — Saheeh International

They said, "If you do not desist, O Lot, you will surely be of those evicted."

English — Saheeh International

He said, "Indeed, I am, toward your deed, of those who detest [it].

English — Saheeh International

My Lord, save me and my family from [the consequence of] what they do."

English — Saheeh International

So We saved him and his family, all,

English — Saheeh International

Except an old woman among those who remained behind.

English — Saheeh International

Then We destroyed the others.

English — Saheeh International

And We rained upon them a rain [of stones], and evil was the rain of those who were warned.

English — Saheeh International

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

English — Saheeh International

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

English — Saheeh International

The companions of the thicket denied the messengers

English — Saheeh International

When Shu'ayb said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

English — Saheeh International

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

English — Saheeh International

So fear Allah and obey me.

English — Saheeh International

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

English — Saheeh International

Give full measure and do not be of those who cause loss.

English — Saheeh International

And weigh with an even balance.

English — Saheeh International

And do not deprive people of their due and do not commit abuse on earth, spreading corruption.

English — Saheeh International

And fear He who created you and the former creation."

English — Saheeh International

They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.

English — Saheeh International

You are but a man like ourselves, and indeed, we think you are among the liars.

English — Saheeh International

So cause to fall upon us fragments of the sky, if you should be of the truthful."

English — Saheeh International

He said, "My Lord is most knowing of what you do."

English — Saheeh International

And they denied him, so the punishment of the day of the black cloud seized them. Indeed, it was the punishment of a terrible day.

English — Saheeh International

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

English — Saheeh International

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

English — Saheeh International

And indeed, the Qur'an is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds.

English — Saheeh International

The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down

English — Saheeh International

Upon your heart, [O Muhammad] - that you may be of the warners -

English — Saheeh International

In a clear Arabic language.

English — Saheeh International

And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples.

English — Saheeh International

And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel?

English — Saheeh International

And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners

English — Saheeh International

And he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it.

English — Saheeh International

Thus have We inserted disbelief into the hearts of the criminals.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not.

English — Saheeh International

And they will say, "May we be reprieved?"

English — Saheeh International

So for Our punishment are they impatient?

English — Saheeh International

Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years

English — Saheeh International

And then there came to them that which they were promised?

English — Saheeh International

They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.

English — Saheeh International

And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners

English — Saheeh International

As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.

English — Saheeh International

And the devils have not brought the revelation down.

English — Saheeh International

It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able.

English — Saheeh International

Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed.

English — Saheeh International

So do not invoke with Allah another deity and [thus] be among the punished.

English — Saheeh International

And warn, [O Muhammad], your closest kindred.

English — Saheeh International

And lower your wing to those who follow you of the believers.

English — Saheeh International

And if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing."

English — Saheeh International

And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,

English — Saheeh International

Who sees you when you arise

English — Saheeh International

And your movement among those who prostrate.

English — Saheeh International

Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

English — Saheeh International

Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?

English — Saheeh International

They descend upon every sinful liar.

English — Saheeh International

They pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars.

English — Saheeh International

And the poets - [only] the deviators follow them;

English — Saheeh International

Do you not see that in every valley they roam

English — Saheeh International

And that they say what they do not do? -

English — Saheeh International

Except those [poets] who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allah often and defend [the Muslims] after they were wronged. And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned.
