Surah Ash Shu'araa
Ayah - , Makkah
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Ta, Seen, Meem.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
These are the verses of the clear Book.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Perhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind?
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people -
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allah?"
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
He said, "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
[Allah] said, "No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds,
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
[Commanded to say], "Send with us the Children of Israel."'"
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
[Pharaoh] said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life?
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
[Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray.
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.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?"
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds?"
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
[Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
[Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear?"
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
[Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
[Pharaoh] said, "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
[Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
[Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
[Moses] said, "Even if I brought you proof manifest?"
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
[Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
[Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise?"
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?"
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah].
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
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."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
[And said], "Indeed, those are but a small band,
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And indeed, they are enraging us,
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And indeed, we are a cautious society... "
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So We removed them from gardens and springs
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And treasures and honorable station -
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So they pursued them at sunrise.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken!"
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
[Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me."
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.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And We advanced thereto the pursuers.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And We saved Moses and those with him, all together.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Then We drowned the others.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And recite to them the news of Abraham,
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
When he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?"
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
They said, "We worship idols and remain to them devoted."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
He said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate?
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Or do they benefit you, or do they harm?"
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
They said, "But we found our fathers doing thus."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
He said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping,
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
You and your ancient forefathers?
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Indeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds,
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Who created me, and He [it is who] guides me.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And it is He who feeds me and gives me drink.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And when I am ill, it is He who cures me
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And who will cause me to die and then bring me to life
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And who I aspire that He will forgive me my sin on the Day of Recompense."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
[And he said], "My Lord, grant me authority and join me with the righteous.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And grant me a reputation of honor among later generations.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Pleasure.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And forgive my father. Indeed, he has been of those astray.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And do not disgrace me on the Day they are [all] resurrected -
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And Paradise will be brought near [that Day] to the righteous.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And Hellfire will be brought forth for the deviators,
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And it will be said to them, "Where are those you used to worship
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Other than Allah? Can they help you or help themselves?"
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So they will be overturned into Hellfire, they and the deviators
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And the soldiers of Iblees, all together.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
They will say while they dispute therein,
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
"By Allah, we were indeed in manifest error
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
When we equated you with the Lord of the worlds.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And no one misguided us except the criminals.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So now we have no intercessors
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And not a devoted friend.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Then if we only had a return [to the world] and could be of the believers... "
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
The people of Noah denied the messengers
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
When their brother Noah said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So fear Allah and obey me.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So fear Allah and obey me."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
They said, "Should we believe you while you are followed by the lowest [class of people]?"
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
He said, "And what is my knowledge of what they used to do?
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Their account is only upon my Lord, if you [could] perceive.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And I am not one to drive away the believers.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
I am only a clear warner."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
They said, "If you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be of those who are stoned."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
He said, "My Lord, indeed my people have denied me.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Then judge between me and them with decisive judgement and save me and those with me of the believers."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So We saved him and those with him in the laden ship.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Then We drowned thereafter the remaining ones.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
'Aad denied the messengers
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
When their brother Hud said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So fear Allah and obey me.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Do you construct on every elevation a sign, amusing yourselves,
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And take for yourselves palaces and fortresses that you might abide eternally?
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And when you strike, you strike as tyrants.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So fear Allah and obey me.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And fear He who provided you with that which you know,
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Provided you with grazing livestock and children
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And gardens and springs.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
They said, "It is all the same to us whether you advise or are not of the advisors.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
This is not but the custom of the former peoples,
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And we are not to be punished."
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.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Thamud denied the messengers
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
When their brother Salih said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So fear Allah and obey me.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Will you be left in what is here, secure [from death],
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Within gardens and springs
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And fields of crops and palm trees with softened fruit?
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And you carve out of the mountains, homes, with skill.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So fear Allah and obey me.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And do not obey the order of the transgressors,
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Who cause corruption in the land and do not amend."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
You are but a man like ourselves, so bring a sign, if you should be of the truthful."
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.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And do not touch her with harm, lest you be seized by the punishment of a terrible day."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
But they hamstrung her and so became regretful.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And the punishment seized them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
The people of Lot denied the messengers
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
When their brother Lot said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So fear Allah and obey me.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Do you approach males among the worlds
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
They said, "If you do not desist, O Lot, you will surely be of those evicted."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
He said, "Indeed, I am, toward your deed, of those who detest [it].
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
My Lord, save me and my family from [the consequence of] what they do."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So We saved him and his family, all,
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Except an old woman among those who remained behind.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Then We destroyed the others.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And We rained upon them a rain [of stones], and evil was the rain of those who were warned.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
The companions of the thicket denied the messengers
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
When Shu'ayb said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So fear Allah and obey me.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Give full measure and do not be of those who cause loss.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And weigh with an even balance.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And do not deprive people of their due and do not commit abuse on earth, spreading corruption.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And fear He who created you and the former creation."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
You are but a man like ourselves, and indeed, we think you are among the liars.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So cause to fall upon us fragments of the sky, if you should be of the truthful."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
He said, "My Lord is most knowing of what you do."
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.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And indeed, the Qur'an is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Upon your heart, [O Muhammad] - that you may be of the warners -
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
In a clear Arabic language.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel?
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Thus have We inserted disbelief into the hearts of the criminals.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And they will say, "May we be reprieved?"
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So for Our punishment are they impatient?
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And then there came to them that which they were promised?
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And the devils have not brought the revelation down.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So do not invoke with Allah another deity and [thus] be among the punished.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And warn, [O Muhammad], your closest kindred.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And lower your wing to those who follow you of the believers.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Who sees you when you arise
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And your movement among those who prostrate.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
They descend upon every sinful liar.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
They pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And the poets - [only] the deviators follow them;
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Do you not see that in every valley they roam
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And that they say what they do not do? -
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.
