verse 1

Ta. Sin. Mim.

thoughts

verse 2

These are revelations of the Scripture that maketh plain.

thoughts

verse 3

It may be that thou tormentest thyself (O Muhammad) because they believe not.

thoughts

verse 4

If We will, We can send down on them from the sky a portent so that their necks would remain bowed before it.

thoughts

verse 5

Never cometh there unto them a fresh reminder from the Beneficent One, but they turn away from it.

thoughts

verse 6

Now they have denied (the Truth); but there will come unto them tidings of that whereat they used to scoff.

thoughts

verse 7

Have they not seen the earth, how much of every fruitful kind We make to grow therein?

thoughts

verse 8

Lo! herein is indeed a portent; yet most of them are not believers.

thoughts

verse 9

And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.

thoughts

verse 10

And when thy Lord called Moses, saying: Go unto the wrongdoing folk,

thoughts

verse 11

The folk of Pharaoh. Will they not ward off (evil)?

thoughts

verse 12

He said: My Lord! Lo! I fear that they will deny me,

thoughts

verse 13

And I shall be embarrassed, and my tongue will not speak plainly, therefor send for Aaron (to help me).

thoughts

verse 14

And they have a crime against me, so I fear that they will kill me.

thoughts

verse 15

He said: Nay, verily. So go ye twain with Our tokens. Lo! We shall be with you, Hearing.

thoughts

verse 16

And come together unto Pharaoh and say: Lo! we bear a message of the Lord of the Worlds,

thoughts

verse 17

(Saying): Let the Children of Israel go with us.

thoughts

verse 18

(Pharaoh) said (unto Moses): Did we not rear thee among us as a child? And thou didst dwell many years of thy life among us,

thoughts

verse 19

And thou didst that thy deed which thou didst, and thou wast one of the ingrates.

thoughts

verse 20

He said: I did it then, when I was of those who are astray.

thoughts

verse 21

Then I fled from you when I feared you, and my Lord vouchsafed me a command and appointed me (of the number) of those sent (by Him).

thoughts

verse 22

And this is the past favour wherewith thou reproachest me: that thou hast enslaved the Children of Israel.

thoughts

verse 23

Pharaoh said: And what is the Lord of the Worlds?

thoughts

verse 24

(Moses) said: Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if ye had but sure belief.

thoughts

verse 25

(Pharaoh) said unto those around him: Hear ye not?

thoughts

verse 26

He said: Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers.

thoughts

verse 27

(Pharaoh) said: Lo! your messenger who hath been sent unto you is indeed a madman!

thoughts

verse 28

He said: Lord of the East and the West and all that is between them, if ye did but understand.

thoughts

verse 29

(Pharaoh) said: If thou choosest a god other than me, I assuredly shall place thee among the prisoners.

thoughts

verse 30

He said: Even though I show thee something plain?

thoughts

verse 31

(Pharaoh) said: Produce it then, if thou art of the truthful!

thoughts

verse 32

Then he flung down his staff and it became a serpent manifest,

thoughts

verse 33

And he drew forth his hand and lo! it was white to the beholders.

thoughts

verse 34

(Pharaoh) said unto the chiefs about him: Lo! this is verily a knowing wizard,

thoughts

verse 35

Who would drive you out of your land by his magic. Now what counsel ye?

thoughts

verse 36

They said: Put him off, (him) and his brother, and send into the cities summoners

thoughts

verse 37

Who shall bring unto thee every knowing wizard.

thoughts

verse 38

So the wizards were gathered together at a set time on a day appointed.

thoughts

verse 39

And it was said unto the people: Are ye (also) gathering?

thoughts

verse 40

(They said): Aye, so that we may follow the wizards if they are the winners.

thoughts

verse 41

And when the wizards came they said unto Pharaoh: Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners?

thoughts

verse 42

He said: Aye, and ye will then surely be of those brought near (to me).

thoughts

verse 43

Moses said unto them: Throw what ye are going to throw!

thoughts

verse 44

Then they threw down their cords and their staves and said: By Pharaoh’s might, lo! we verily are the winners.

thoughts

verse 45

Then Moses threw his staff and lo! it swallowed that which they did falsely show.

thoughts

verse 46

And the wizards were flung prostrate,

thoughts

verse 47

Crying: We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,

thoughts

verse 48

The Lord of Moses and Aaron.

thoughts

verse 49

(Pharaoh) said: Ye put your faith in him before I give you leave. Lo! he doubtless is your chief who taught you magic! But verily ye shall come to know. Verily I will cut off your hands and your feet alternately, and verily I will crucify you every one.

thoughts

verse 50

They said: It is no hurt, for lo! unto our Lord we shall return.

thoughts

verse 51

Lo! we ardently hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we are the first of the believers.

thoughts

verse 52

And We inspired Moses, saying: Take away My slaves by night, for ye will be pursued.

thoughts

verse 53

Then Pharaoh sent into the cities summoners,

thoughts

verse 54

(Who said): Lo! these indeed are but a little troop,

thoughts

verse 55

And lo! they are offenders against us.

thoughts

verse 56

And lo! we are a ready host.

thoughts

verse 57

Thus did We take them away from gardens and watersprings,

thoughts

verse 58

And treasures and a fair estate.

thoughts

verse 59

Thus (were those things taken from them) and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them.

thoughts

verse 60

And they overtook them at sunrise.

thoughts

verse 61

And when the two hosts saw each other, those with Moses said: Lo! we are indeed caught.

thoughts

verse 62

He said: Nay, verily! for lo! my Lord is with me. He will guide me.

thoughts

verse 63

Then We inspired Moses, saying: Smite the sea with thy staff. And it parted, and each part was as a mountain vast.

thoughts

verse 64

Then brought We near the others to that place.

thoughts

verse 65

And We saved Moses and those with him, every one;

thoughts

verse 66

And We drowned the others.

thoughts

verse 67

Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers.

thoughts

verse 68

And lo, thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.

thoughts

verse 69

Recite unto them the story of Abraham:

thoughts

verse 70

When he said unto his father and his folk: What worship ye?

thoughts

verse 71

They said: We worship idols, and are ever devoted unto them.

thoughts

verse 72

He said: Do they hear you when ye cry?

thoughts

verse 73

Or do they benefit or harm you?

thoughts

verse 74

They said: Nay, but we found our fathers acting on this wise.

thoughts

verse 75

He said: See now that which ye worship,

thoughts

verse 76

Ye and your forefathers!

thoughts

verse 77

Lo! they are (all) an enemy unto me, save the Lord of the Worlds,

thoughts

verse 78

Who created me, and He doth guide me,

thoughts

verse 79

And Who feedeth me and watereth me.

thoughts

verse 80

And when I sicken, then He healeth me,

thoughts

verse 81

And Who causeth me to die, then giveth me life (again),

thoughts

verse 82

And Who, I ardently hope, will forgive me my sin on the Day of Judgment.

thoughts

verse 83

My Lord! Vouchsafe me wisdom and unite me to the righteous.

thoughts

verse 84

And give unto me a good report in later generations.

thoughts

verse 85

And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Delight,

thoughts

verse 86

And forgive my father. Lo! he is of those who err.

thoughts

verse 87

And abase me not on the day when they are raised,

thoughts

verse 88

The day when wealth and sons avail not (any man)

thoughts

verse 89

Save him who bringeth unto Allah a whole heart.

thoughts

verse 90

And the Garden will be brought nigh for those who ward off (evil).

thoughts

verse 91

And hell will appear plainly to the erring.

thoughts

verse 92

And it will be said unto them: Where is (all) that ye used to worship

thoughts

verse 93

Instead of Allah? Can they help you or help themselves?

thoughts

verse 94

Then will they be hurled therein, they and the seducers

thoughts

verse 95

And the hosts of Iblis, together.

thoughts

verse 96

And they will say, when they are quarrelling therein:

thoughts

verse 97

By Allah, of a truth we were in error manifest

thoughts

verse 98

When we made you equal with the Lord of the Worlds.

thoughts

verse 99

It was but the guilty who misled us.

thoughts

verse 100

Now we have no intercessors

thoughts

verse 101

Nor any loving friend.

thoughts

verse 102

Oh, that we had another turn (on earth), that we might be of the believers!

thoughts

verse 103

Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers!

thoughts

verse 104

And lo, thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.

thoughts

verse 105

Noah’s folk denied the messengers (of Allah),

thoughts

verse 106

When their brother Noah said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)?

thoughts

verse 107

Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you,

thoughts

verse 108

So keep your duty to Allah, and obey me.

thoughts

verse 109

And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds.

thoughts

verse 110

So keep your duty to Allah, and obey me.

thoughts

verse 111

They said: Shall we put faith in thee, when the lowest (of the people) follow thee?

thoughts

verse 112

He said: And what knowledge have I of what they may have been doing (in the past)?

thoughts

verse 113

Lo! their reckoning is my Lord’s concern, if ye but knew;

thoughts

verse 114

And I am not (here) to repulse believers.

thoughts

verse 115

I am only a plain warner.

thoughts

verse 116

They said: If thou cease not, O Noah, thou wilt surely be among those stoned (to death).

thoughts

verse 117

He said: My Lord! Lo! my own folk deny me.

thoughts

verse 118

Therefor judge Thou between us, a (conclusive) judgment, and save me and those believers who are with me.

thoughts

verse 119

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

thoughts

verse 120

Then afterward We drowned the others.

thoughts

verse 121

Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers.

thoughts

verse 122

And lo, thy Lord, He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.

thoughts

verse 123

(The tribe of) A’ad denied the messengers (of Allah).

thoughts

verse 124

When their brother Hud said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)?

thoughts

verse 125

Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you,

thoughts

verse 126

So keep your duty to Allah and obey me.

thoughts

verse 127

And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds.

thoughts

verse 128

Build ye on every high place a monument for vain delight?

thoughts

verse 129

And seek ye out strongholds, that haply ye may last for ever?

thoughts

verse 130

And if ye seize by force, seize ye as tyrants?

thoughts

verse 131

Rather keep your duty to Allah, and obey me.

thoughts

verse 132

Keep your duty toward Him Who hath aided you with (the good things) that ye know,

thoughts

verse 133

Hath aided you with cattle and sons.

thoughts

verse 134

And gardens and watersprings.

thoughts

verse 135

Lo! I fear for you the retribution of an awful day.

thoughts

verse 136

They said: It is all one to us whether thou preachest or art not of those who preach;

thoughts

verse 137

This is but a fable of the men of old,

thoughts

verse 138

And we shall not be doomed.

thoughts

verse 139

And they denied him; therefor We destroyed them. Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers.

thoughts

verse 140

And lo! thy Lord, He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.

thoughts

verse 141

thoughts

verse 142

When their brother Salih said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)?

thoughts

verse 143

Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you,

thoughts

verse 144

So keep your duty to Allah and obey me.

thoughts

verse 145

And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds.

thoughts

verse 146

Will ye be left secure in that which is here before us,

thoughts

verse 147

In gardens and watersprings.

thoughts

verse 148

And tilled fields and heavy-sheathed palm-trees,

thoughts

verse 149

Though ye hew out dwellings in the mountain, being skilful?

thoughts

verse 150

Therefor keep your duty to Allah and obey me,

thoughts

verse 151

And obey not the command of the prodigal,

thoughts

verse 152

Who spread corruption in the earth, and reform not.

thoughts

verse 153

They said: Thou art but one of the bewitched;

thoughts

verse 154

Thou art but a mortal like us. So bring some token if thou art of the truthful.

thoughts

verse 155

He said: (Behold) this she-camel. She hath the right to drink (at the well), and ye have the right to drink, (each) on an appointed day.

thoughts

verse 156

And touch her not with ill lest there come on you the retribution of an awful day.

thoughts

verse 157

But they hamstrung her, and then were penitent.

thoughts

verse 158

So the retribution came on them. Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers.

thoughts

verse 159

And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.

thoughts

verse 162

Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you,

thoughts

verse 163

So keep your duty to Allah and obey me.

thoughts

verse 164

And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds.

thoughts

verse 165

What! Of all creatures do ye come unto the males,

thoughts

verse 166

And leave the wives your Lord created for you? Nay, but ye are froward folk.

thoughts

verse 167

They said: If thou cease not, O Lot, thou wilt soon be of the outcast.

thoughts

verse 168

He said: I am in truth of those who hate your conduct.

thoughts

verse 169

My Lord! Save me and my household from what they do.

thoughts

verse 170

So We saved him and his household, every one,

thoughts

verse 171

Save an old woman among those who stayed behind.

thoughts

verse 172

Then afterward We destroyed the others.

thoughts

verse 173

And We rained on them a rain. And dreadful is the rain of those who have been warned.

thoughts

verse 174

Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers.

thoughts

verse 175

And lo! thy Lord, He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.

thoughts

verse 176

The dwellers in the wood (of Midian) denied the messengers (of Allah),

thoughts

verse 177

When Shu’eyb said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)?

thoughts

verse 178

Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you,

thoughts

verse 179

So keep your duty to Allah and obey me.

thoughts

verse 180

And I ask of you no wage for it; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds.

thoughts

verse 181

Give full measure, and be not of those who give less (than the due).

thoughts

verse 182

And weigh with the true balance.

thoughts

verse 183

Wrong not mankind in their goods, and do not evil, making mischief, in the earth.

thoughts

verse 184

And keep your duty unto Him Who created you and the generations of the men of old.

thoughts

verse 185

They said: Thou art but one of the bewitched;

thoughts

verse 186

Thou art but a mortal like us, and lo! we deem thee of the liars.

thoughts

verse 187

Then make fragments of the heaven fall upon us, if thou art of the truthful.

thoughts

verse 188

He said: My Lord is Best Aware of what ye do.

thoughts

verse 189

But they denied him, so there came on them the retribution of the day of gloom. Lo! it was the retribution of an awful day.

thoughts

verse 190

Lo! herein is indeed a portent; yet most of them are not believers.

thoughts

verse 191

And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.

thoughts

verse 192

And lo! it is a revelation of the Lord of the Worlds,

thoughts

verse 193

Which the True Spirit hath brought down

thoughts

verse 194

Upon thy heart, that thou mayst be (one) of the warners,

thoughts

verse 195

In plain Arabic speech.

thoughts

verse 196

And lo! it is in the Scriptures of the men of old.

thoughts

verse 197

Is it not a token for them that the doctors of the Children of Israel know it?

thoughts

verse 198

And if We had revealed it unto one of any other nation than the Arabs,

thoughts

verse 199

And he had read it unto them, they would not have believed in it.

thoughts

verse 200

Thus do We make it traverse the hearts of the guilty.

thoughts

verse 201

They will not believe in it till they behold the painful doom,

thoughts

verse 202

So that it will come upon them suddenly, when they perceive not.

thoughts

verse 203

Then they will say: Are we to be reprieved?

thoughts

verse 204

Would they (now) hasten on Our doom?

thoughts

verse 205

Hast thou then seen, if We content them for (long) years,

thoughts

verse 206

And then cometh that which they were promised,

thoughts

verse 207

(How) that wherewith they were contented naught availeth them?

thoughts

verse 208

And We destroyed no township but it had its warners

thoughts

verse 209

For reminder, for We never were oppressors.

thoughts

verse 210

The devils did not bring it down.

thoughts

verse 211

It is not meet for them, nor is it in their power,

thoughts

verse 212

Lo! verily they are banished from the hearing.

thoughts

verse 213

Therefor invoke not with Allah another god, lest thou be one of the doomed.

thoughts

verse 214

And warn thy tribe of near kindred,

thoughts

verse 215

And lower thy wing (in kindness) unto those believers who follow thee.

thoughts

verse 216

And if they (thy kinsfolk) disobey thee, say: Lo! I am innocent of what they do.

thoughts

verse 217

And put thy trust in the Mighty, the Merciful.

thoughts

verse 218

Who seeth thee when thou standest up (to pray)

thoughts

verse 219

And (seeth) thine abasement among those who fall prostrate (in worship).

thoughts

verse 220

Lo! He, only He, is the Hearer, the Knower.

thoughts

verse 221

Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?

thoughts

verse 222

They descend on every sinful, false one.

thoughts

verse 223

They listen eagerly, but most of them are liars.

thoughts

verse 224

As for poets, the erring follow them.

thoughts

verse 225

Hast thou not seen how they stray in every valley,

thoughts

verse 226

And how they say that which they do not?

thoughts

verse 227

Save those who believe and do good works, and remember Allah much, and vindicate themselves after they have been wronged. Those who do wrong will come to know by what a (great) reverse they will be overturned!

thoughts
