Ta Sin Mim.
|
2. |
These are the verses of the Book that makes (things) clear.
|
3. |
Perhaps you will kill yourself with grief because they do not believe.
|
4. |
If We please, We should send down upon them a sign from the heaven so that their necks should stoop to it.
|
5. |
And there does not come to them a new reminder from the Beneficent God but they turn aside from it.
|
6. |
So they have indeed rejected (the truth), therefore the news of that which they mock shall soon come to them.
|
7. |
Do they not see the earth, how many of every noble kind We have caused to grow in it?
|
8. |
Most surely there is a sign in that, but most of them will not believe.
|
9. |
And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
|
10. |
And when your Lord called out to Musa, saying: Go to the unjust people,
|
11. |
The people of Firon: Will they not guard (against evil)?
|
12. |
He said: O my Lord! surely I fear that they will reject me;
|
13. |
And by breast straitens, and my tongue is not eloquent, therefore send Thou to Haroun (to help me);
|
14. |
And they have a crime against me, therefore I fear that they may slay me.
|
15. |
He said: By no means, so go you both with Our signs; surely We are with you, hearing;
|
16. |
Then come to Firon and say: Surely we are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds:
|
17. |
Then send with us the children of Israel.
|
18. |
(Firon) said: Did we not bring you up as a child among us, and you tarried among us for (many) years of your life?
|
19. |
And you did (that) deed of yours which you did, and you are one of the ungrateful.
|
20. |
He said: I did it then while I was of those unable to see the right course
|
21. |
So I fled from you when I feared you, then my Lord granted me wisdom and made me of the apostles;
|
22. |
And is it a favor of which you remind me that you have enslaved the children of Israel?
|
23. |
Firon said: And what is the Lord of the worlds?
|
24. |
He said: The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you would be sure.
|
25. |
(Firon) said to those around him: Do you not hear?
|
26. |
He said: Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of old.
|
27. |
Said he: Most surely your Apostle who is sent to you is mad.
|
28. |
He said: The Lord of the east and the west and what is between them, if you understand.
|
29. |
Said he: If you will take a god besides me, I will most certainly make you one of the imprisoned.
|
30. |
He said: What! even if I bring to you something manifest?
|
31. |
Said he: Bring it then, if you are of the truthful ones.
|
32. |
So he cast down his rod, and lo! it was an obvious serpent,
|
33. |
And he drew forth his hand, and lo! it appeared white to the onlookers.
|
34. |
(Firon) said to the chiefs around him: Most surely this is a skillful magician,
|
35. |
Who desires to turn you out of your land with his magic; what is it then that you advise?
|
36. |
They said: Give him and his brother respite and send heralds into the cities
|
37. |
That they should bring to you every skillful magician.
|
38. |
So the magicians were gathered together at the appointed time on the fixed day,
|
39. |
And it was said to the people: Will you gather together?
|
40. |
Haply we may follow the magicians, if they are the vanquishers.
|
41. |
And when the magicians came, they said to Firon: Shall we get a reward if we are the vanquishers?
|
42. |
He said: Yes, and surely you will then be of those who are made near.
|
43. |
Musa said to them: Cast what you are going to cast.
|
44. |
So they cast down their cords and their rods and said: By Firon's power, we shall most surely be victorious.
|
45. |
Then Musa cast down his staff and lo! it swallowed up the lies they told.
|
46. |
And the magicians were thrown down prostrate;
|
47. |
They said: We believe in the Lord of the worlds:
|
48. |
The Lord of Musa and Haroun.
|
49. |
Said he: You believe in him before I give you permission; most surely he is the chief of you who taught you the magic, so you shall know: certainly I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and certainly I will crucify you all.
|
50. |
They said: No harm; surely to our Lord we go back;
|
51. |
Surely we hope that our Lord will forgive us our wrongs because we are the first of the believers.
|
52. |
And We revealed to Musa, saying: Go away with My servants travelling by night, surely you will be pursued.
|
53. |
So Firon sent heralds into the cities;
|
54. |
Most surely these are a small company;
|
55. |
And most surely they have enraged us;
|
56. |
And most surely we are a vigilant multitude.
|
57. |
So We turned them out of gardens and springs,
|
58. |
And treasures and goodly dwellings,
|
59. |
Even so. And We gave them as a heritage to the children of Israel.
|
60. |
Then they pursued them at sunrise.
|
61. |
So when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Musa cried out: Most surely we are being overtaken.
|
62. |
He said: By no means; surely my Lord is with me: He will show me a way out.
|
63. |
Then We revealed to Musa: Strike the sea with your staff. So it had cloven asunder, and each part was like a huge mound.
|
64. |
And We brought near, there, the others.
|
65. |
And We saved Musa and those with him, all of them.
|
66. |
Then We drowned the others.
|
67. |
Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.
|
68. |
And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
|
69. |
And recite to them the story of Ibrahim.
|
70. |
When he said to his father and his people: What do you worship?
|
71. |
They said: We worship idols, so we shall be their votaries.
|
72. |
He said: Do they hear you when you call?
|
73. |
Or do they profit you or cause you harm?
|
74. |
They said: Nay, we found our fathers doing so.
|
75. |
He said: Have you then considered what you have been worshipping:
|
76. |
You and your ancient sires.
|
77. |
Surely they are enemies to me, but not (so) the Lord of the worlds;
|
78. |
Who created me, then He has shown me the way:
|
79. |
And He Who gives me to eat and gives me to drink:
|
80. |
And when I am sick, then He restores me to health
|
81. |
And He Who will cause me to die, then give me life;
|
82. |
And Who, I hope, will forgive me my mistakes on the day of judgment.
|
83. |
My Lord: Grant me wisdom, and join me with the good
|
84. |
And ordain for me a goodly mention among posterity
|
85. |
And make me of the heirs of the garden of bliss
|
86. |
And forgive my father, for surely he is of those who have gone astray;
|
87. |
And disgrace me not on the day when they are raised
|
88. |
The day on which property will not avail, nor sons
|
89. |
Except him who comes to Allah with a heart free (from evil).
|
90. |
And the garden shall be brought near for those who guard (against evil),
|
91. |
And the hell shall be made manifest to the erring ones,
|
92. |
And it shall be said to them: Where are those that you used to worship;
|
93. |
Besides Allah? Can they help you or yet help themselves?
|
94. |
So they shall be thrown down into it, they and the erring ones,
|
95. |
And the hosts of the Shaitan, all.
|
96. |
They shall say while they contend therein:
|
97. |
By Allah! we were certainly in manifest error,
|
98. |
When we made you equal to the Lord of the worlds;
|
99. |
And none but the guilty led us astray;
|
100. |
So we have no intercessors,
|
101. |
Nor a true friend;
|
102. |
But if we could but once return, we would be of the believers.
|
103. |
Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.
|
104. |
And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
|
105. |
The people of Nuh rejected the apostles.
|
106. |
When their brother Nuh said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?
|
107. |
Surely I am a faithful apostle to you;
|
108. |
Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me
|
109. |
And I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds:
|
110. |
So guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me.
|
111. |
They said: Shall we believe in you while the meanest follow you?
|
112. |
He said: And what knowledge have I of what they do?
|
113. |
Their account is only with my Lord, if you could perceive
|
114. |
And I am not going to drive away the believers;
|
115. |
I am naught but a plain warner.
|
116. |
They said: If you desist not, O Nuh, you shall most certainly be of those stoned to death.
|
117. |
He said: My Lord! Surely my people give me the lie!
|
118. |
Therefore judge Thou between me and them with a (just) judgment, and deliver me and those who are with me of the believers.
|
119. |
So We delivered him and those with him in the laden ark.
|
120. |
Then We drowned the rest afterwards
|
121. |
Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.
|
122. |
And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
|
123. |
Ad gave the lie to the apostles.
|
124. |
When their brother Hud said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?
|
125. |
Surely I am a faithful apostle to you;
|
126. |
Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me:
|
127. |
And I do not ask you any reward for it; surely my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds
|
128. |
Do you build on every height a monument? Vain is it that you do:
|
129. |
And you make strong fortresses that perhaps you may
|
130. |
And when you lay hands (on men) you lay hands (like) tyrants;
|
131. |
So guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me
|
132. |
And be careful of (your duty to) Him Who has given you abundance of what you know.
|
133. |
He has given you abundance of cattle and children
|
134. |
And gardens and fountains;
|
135. |
Surely I fear for you the chastisement of a grievous day
|
136. |
They said: It is the same to us whether you admonish or are not one of the admonishers
|
137. |
This is naught but a custom of the ancients;
|
138. |
And we are not going to be punished.
|
139. |
So they gave him the lie, then We destroyed them. Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.
|
140. |
And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
|
141. |
Samood gave the lie to the apostles
|
142. |
When their brother Salih said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?
|
143. |
Surely I am a faithful apostle to you
|
144. |
Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me:
|
145. |
And I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds:
|
146. |
Will you be left secure in what is here;
|
147. |
In gardens and fountains,
|
148. |
And cornfields and palm-trees having fine spadices?
|
149. |
And you hew houses out of the mountains exultingly;
|
150. |
Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me;
|
151. |
And do not obey the bidding of the extravagant,
|
152. |
Who make mischief in the land and do not act aright.
|
153. |
They said: You are only of the deluded ones;
|
154. |
You are naught but a mortal like ourselves; so bring a sign if you are one of the truthful.
|
155. |
He said: This is a she-camel; she shall have her portion of water, and you have your portion of water on an appointed time;
|
156. |
And do not touch her with evil, lest the punishment of a grievous day should overtake you.
|
157. |
But they hamstrung her, then regretted;
|
158. |
So the punishment overtook them. Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.
|
159. |
And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
|
160. |
The people of Lut gave the lie to the apostles.
|
161. |
When their brother Lut said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?
|
162. |
Surely I am a faithful apostle to you;
|
163. |
Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me:
|
164. |
And I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds;
|
165. |
What! do you come to the males from among the creatures
|
166. |
And leave what your Lord has created for you of your wives? Nay, you are a people exceeding limits.
|
167. |
They said: If you desist not, O Lut! you shall surely be of those who are expelled.
|
168. |
He said: Surely I am of those who utterly abhor your
|
169. |
My Lord ! deliver me and my followers from what they do.
|
170. |
So We delivered him and his followers all,
|
171. |
Except an old woman, among those who remained behind.
|
172. |
Then We utterly destroyed the others.
|
173. |
And We rained down upon them a rain, and evil was the rain on those warned.
|
174. |
Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.
|
175. |
And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
|
176. |
The dwellers of the thicket gave the lie to the apostles.
|
177. |
When Shu'aib said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?
|
178. |
Surely I am a faithful apostle to you;
|
179. |
Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me:
|
180. |
And I do not ask you any reward for it, my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds;
|
181. |
Give a full measure and be not of those who diminish;
|
182. |
And weigh (things) with a right balance,
|
183. |
And do not wrong men of their things, and do not act corruptly in the earth, making mischief.
|
184. |
And guard against (the punishment of) Him who created you and the former nations.
|
185. |
They said: You are only of those deluded;
|
186. |
And you are naught but a mortal like ourselves, and we know you to be certainly of the liars.
|
187. |
Therefore cause a portion of the heaven to come down upon us, if you are one of the truthful.
|
188. |
He said: My Lord knows best what you do.
|
189. |
But they called him a liar, so the punishment of the day of covering overtook them; surely it was the punishment of a grievous day.
|
190. |
Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.
|
192. |
And most surely this is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds
|
193. |
The Faithful Spirit has descended with it,
|
194. |
Upon your heart that you may be of the warners
|
195. |
In plain Arabic language.
|
196. |
And most surely the same is in the scriptures of the ancients.
|
197. |
Is it not a sign to them that the learned men of the Israelites know it?
|
198. |
And if we had revealed it to any of the foreigners
|
199. |
So that he should have recited it to them, they would not have believed therein.
|
200. |
Thus have We caused it to enter into the hearts of the guilty.
|
201. |
They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.
|
202. |
And it shall come to them all of a sudden, while they shall not perceive;
|
203. |
Then they will say: Shall we be respited?
|
204. |
What! do they still seek to hasten on Our punishment?
|
205. |
Have you then considered if We let them enjoy themselves for years,
|
206. |
Then there comes to them that with which they are threatened,
|
207. |
That which they were made to enjoy shall not avail them?
|
208. |
And We did not destroy any town but it had (its) warners,
|
209. |
To remind, and We are never unjust.
|
210. |
And the Shaitans have not come down with it.
|
211. |
And it behoves them not, and they have not the power to do (it).
|
212. |
Most surely they are far removed from the hearing of it.
|
213. |
So call not upon another god with Allah, lest you be of those who are punished.
|
214. |
And warn your nearest relations,
|
215. |
And be kind to him who follows you of the believers.
|
216. |
But if they disobey you, then say: Surely I am clear of what you do.
|
217. |
And rely on the Mighty, the Merciful,
|
218. |
Who sees you when you stand up.
|
219. |
And your turning over and over among those who prostrate themselves before Allah.
|
220. |
Surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
|
221. |
Shall I inform you (of him) upon whom the Shaitans descend?
|
222. |
They descend upon every lying, sinful one,
|
223. |
They incline their ears, and most of them are liars.
|
224. |
And as to the poets, those who go astray follow them.
|
225. |
Do you not see that they wander about bewildered in every valley?
|
226. |
And that they say that which they do not do,
|
227. |
Except those who believe and do good and remember Allah much, and defend themselves after they are oppressed; and they who act unjustly shall know to what final place of turning they shall turn back.
|
