The Poets — Dr Mohammad Tahir Ul Qadri Translation

And my breast constricts (under such adverse circumstances) and my tongue does not express (fluently), so send (Gabriel with revelation) to Harun ([Aaron] as well so that he becomes my helper)

wayaḍīqu ṣadrī walā yanṭaliqu lisānī fa-arsil ilā hārūn

26:14

وَلَهُمۡ عَلَیَّ ذَنۢبࣱ فَأَخَافُ أَن یَقۡتُلُونِ ۝١٤

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And they also have a charge against me (of killing a Copt), so I fear they may kill me.

26:15

قَالَ كَلَّاۖ فَٱذۡهَبَا بِءَایَـٰتِنَاۤۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسۡتَمِعُونَ ۝١٥

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

(Allah) said: ‘By no means, so go both of you, with Our signs. Surely, We are with you, hearing (everything)

qāla kallā fa-idh'habā biāyātinā innā maʿakum mus'tamiʿūn

26:16

فَأۡتِیَا فِرۡعَوۡنَ فَقُولَاۤ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ۝١٦

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

So go, both of you, to Pharaoh and say: We are the Messengers (sent) by the Lord of all the worlds

fatiyā fir'ʿawna faqūlā innā rasūlu rabbi l-ʿālamīn

26:17

أَنۡ أَرۡسِلۡ مَعَنَا بَنِیۤ إِسۡرَ ٰۤءِیلَ ۝١٧

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

(Our aim is that) you send the Children of Israel with us (setting them free).

26:18

قَالَ أَلَمۡ نُرَبِّكَ فِینَا وَلِیدࣰا وَلَبِثۡتَ فِینَا مِنۡ عُمُرِكَ سِنِینَ ۝١٨

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Pharaoh said: ‘Did we not bring you up amongst us as a child, and you spent many years of your life with us?

qāla alam nurabbika fīnā walīdan walabith'ta fīnā min ʿumurika sinīn

26:19

وَفَعَلۡتَ فَعۡلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِی فَعَلۡتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِینَ ۝١٩

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And (then) you committed that deed which you committed (i.e., you killed a Copt), and you are one of the ungrateful (you have forgotten our guardianship and favours)

wafaʿalta faʿlataka allatī faʿalta wa-anta mina l-kāfirīn

26:20

قَالَ فَعَلۡتُهَاۤ إِذࣰا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّاۤلِّینَ ۝٢٠

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

(Musa [Moses]) said: ‘When I did that deed, I was unaware (that even a single blow would take his life)

qāla faʿaltuhā idhan wa-anā mina l-ḍālīn

26:21

فَفَرَرۡتُ مِنكُمۡ لَمَّا خِفۡتُكُمۡ فَوَهَبَ لِی رَبِّی حُكۡمࣰا وَجَعَلَنِی مِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ ۝٢١

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

So (at that time), I went out of your (line of control) when I feared your (designs). Then my Lord bestowed on me the commandment (of Prophethood) and (finally) made me one of the Messengers

fafarartu minkum lammā khif'tukum fawahaba lī rabbī ḥuk'man wajaʿalanī mina l-mur'salīn

26:22

وَتِلۡكَ نِعۡمَةࣱ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَیَّ أَنۡ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِیۤ إِسۡرَ ٰۤءِیلَ ۝٢٢

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And is that (any) favour of which you are reminding me? (That happened also because) you had enslaved (all my people) the Children of Israel.

قَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ۝٢٣

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

(Pharaoh) said: ‘What is the Lord of all the worlds?

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

(Musa [Moses]) said: ‘(He) is the Lord of all the heavens and the earth and the (whole universe) between the two if you are a firm believer.

qāla rabbu l-samāwāti wal-arḍi wamā baynahumā in kuntum mūqinīn

26:25

قَالَ لِمَنۡ حَوۡلَهُۥۤ أَلَا تَسۡتَمِعُونَ ۝٢٥

He said to those seated around him: ‘Are you not listening?

26:26

قَالَ رَبُّكُمۡ وَرَبُّ ءَابَاۤىِٕكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ ۝٢٦

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

(Musa [Moses]) added: ‘(The One Who) is your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers (too).

26:27

قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِیۤ أُرۡسِلَ إِلَیۡكُمۡ لَمَجۡنُونࣱ ۝٢٧

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

(Pharaoh) said: ‘Surely, your Messenger that has been sent to you is but insane.

qāla inna rasūlakumu alladhī ur'sila ilaykum lamajnūnu

26:28

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقِ وَٱلۡمَغۡرِبِ وَمَا بَیۡنَهُمَاۤۖ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ ۝٢٨

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

(Musa [Moses]) said: ‘(He) is the Lord of the east and the west, and (the whole universe) between the two if you have (some) sense.

qāla rabbu l-mashriqi wal-maghribi wamā baynahumā in kuntum taʿqilūn

26:29

قَالَ لَىِٕنِ ٱتَّخَذۡتَ إِلَـٰهًا غَیۡرِی لَأَجۡعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمَسۡجُونِینَ ۝٢٩

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

(Pharaoh) said: ‘(O Musa [Moses,]) if you take a god other than me, I will certainly (arrest and) put you amongst the prisoners.

qāla la-ini ittakhadhta ilāhan ghayrī la-ajʿalannaka mina l-masjūnīn

26:30

قَالَ أَوَ لَوۡ جِئۡتُكَ بِشَیۡءࣲ مُّبِینࣲ ۝٣٠

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

(Musa [Moses]) said: ‘Even if I bring you something manifest (also as a miracle)?

qāla awalaw ji'tuka bishayin mubīni

26:31

قَالَ فَأۡتِ بِهِۦۤ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِینَ ۝٣١

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

(Pharaoh) said: ‘Bring it if you are truthful.

qāla fati bihi in kunta mina l-ṣādiqīn

26:32

فَأَلۡقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِیَ ثُعۡبَانࣱ مُّبِینࣱ ۝٣٢

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

So Musa (Moses) put his staff down (on the ground) and that, at once, became a serpent, evidently clear

fa-alqā ʿaṣāhu fa-idhā hiya thuʿ'bānun mubīnu

26:33

وَنَزَعَ یَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِیَ بَیۡضَاۤءُ لِلنَّـٰظِرِینَ ۝٣٣

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And (Musa [Moses]) brought out his hand (after putting it under his armpit) and there it became radiant white to the viewers

wanazaʿa yadahu fa-idhā hiya bayḍāu lilnnāẓirīn

26:34

قَالَ لِلۡمَلَإِ حَوۡلَهُۥۤ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَسَـٰحِرٌ عَلِیمࣱ ۝٣٤

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

(Pharaoh) said to the chiefs (sitting) around him: ‘Undoubtedly, he is a (highly) learned sorcerer

qāla lil'mala-i ḥawlahu inna hādhā lasāḥirun ʿalīmu

26:35

یُرِیدُ أَن یُخۡرِجَكُم مِّنۡ أَرۡضِكُم بِسِحۡرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأۡمُرُونَ ۝٣٥

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

He seeks to drive you out of your land by (the force of) his magic. So what is your opinion (about him now)?

yurīdu an yukh'rijakum min arḍikum bisiḥ'rihi famādhā tamurūn

26:36

قَالُوۤا۟ أَرۡجِهۡ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبۡعَثۡ فِی ٱلۡمَدَاۤىِٕنِ حَـٰشِرِینَ ۝٣٦

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

They said: ‘Put off (the announcement of sentence for) him and his brother (Harun [Aaron]) and send callers to (all) the cities (to summon the sorcerers)

qālū arjih wa-akhāhu wa-ib'ʿath fī l-madāini ḥāshirīn

26:37

یَأۡتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِیمࣲ ۝٣٧

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

They will bring you every high ranking, expert sorcerer.

26:38

فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِیقَـٰتِ یَوۡمࣲ مَّعۡلُومࣲ ۝٣٨

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

So all the sorcerers were assembled at the appointed time on the fixed day

fajumiʿa l-saḥaratu limīqāti yawmin maʿlūmi

26:39

وَقِیلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّجۡتَمِعُونَ ۝٣٩

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And it was said to the people (from Pharaoh’s side): ‘You will assemble together (on this occasion)

waqīla lilnnāsi hal antum muj'tamiʿūn

26:40

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلۡغَـٰلِبِینَ ۝٤٠

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

So that we may follow (the din [religion] of) the sorcerers if they overmaster (Musa [Moses] and Harun [Aaron]).

laʿallanā nattabiʿu l-saḥarata in kānū humu l-ghālibīn

26:41

فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرۡعَوۡنَ أَىِٕنَّ لَنَا لَأَجۡرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَـٰلِبِینَ ۝٤١

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Then when the sorcerers arrived, they said to Pharaoh: ‘Is there (also) any reward (fixed) for us if we gain the upper hand (in the contest)?

falammā jāa l-saḥaratu qālū lifir'ʿawna a-inna lanā la-ajran in kunnā naḥnu l-ghālibīn

26:42

قَالَ نَعَمۡ وَإِنَّكُمۡ إِذࣰا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِینَ ۝٤٢

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

(Pharaoh) said: ‘Yes indeed! (Instead of the rewarded ones,) you will straight away join (my) closer circle (and intimate relationship is far higher in grade than reward).

qāla naʿam wa-innakum idhan lamina l-muqarabīn

26:43

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰۤ أَلۡقُوا۟ مَاۤ أَنتُم مُّلۡقُونَ ۝٤٣

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

(Musa [ Moses]) said to those (sorcerers): ‘Throw down the (magic) items which you are about to throw.

qāla lahum mūsā alqū mā antum mul'qūn

26:44

فَأَلۡقَوۡا۟ حِبَالَهُمۡ وَعِصِیَّهُمۡ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَـٰلِبُونَ ۝٤٤

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

So they cast down their strings and sticks and said: ‘By the honour of Pharaoh, we shall certainly win.

fa-alqaw ḥibālahum waʿiṣiyyahum waqālū biʿizzati fir'ʿawna innā lanaḥnu l-ghālibūn

26:45

فَأَلۡقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِیَ تَلۡقَفُ مَا یَأۡفِكُونَ ۝٤٥

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Then Musa (Moses) cast down his staff which, (changing into a serpent,) began swallowing up those things which they had made look different (from reality) through trickery

fa-alqā mūsā ʿaṣāhu fa-idhā hiya talqafu mā yafikūn

26:46

فَأُلۡقِیَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَـٰجِدِینَ ۝٤٦

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

So, all the magicians fell down prostrating themselves

26:47

قَالُوۤا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ۝٤٧

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

They said: ‘We believe in the Lord of all the worlds

qālū āmannā birabbi l-ʿālamīn

26:48

رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ ۝٤٨

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

The Lord of Musa (Moses) and Harun (Aaron).

26:49

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

(Pharaoh) said: ‘You have believed in Him before I granted you permission. Surely, it is he (Musa [Moses]) who is your chief (coach) and who has taught you magic. You will soon come to know (your end). I will definitely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides and will surely crucify you all.

26:50

قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَیۡرَۖ إِنَّاۤ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ ۝٥٠

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

They said: ‘There is no harm (in it). Surely, we are to return to our Lord

qālū lā ḍayra innā ilā rabbinā munqalibūn

26:51

إِنَّا نَطۡمَعُ أَن یَغۡفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَـٰیَـٰنَاۤ أَن كُنَّاۤ أَوَّلَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ ۝٥١

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

We have strong hope that our Lord will forgive our sins since it is we who are the first to believe (now).

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And We revealed to Musa (Moses): ‘Take away My servants (from here) by night; you will certainly be chased.

wa-awḥaynā ilā mūsā an asri biʿibādī innakum muttabaʿūn

26:53

فَأَرۡسَلَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ فِی ٱلۡمَدَاۤىِٕنِ حَـٰشِرِینَ ۝٥٣

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Then Pharaoh sent callers to the cities

fa-arsala fir'ʿawnu fī l-madāini ḥāshirīn

26:54

إِنَّ هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ لَشِرۡذِمَةࣱ قَلِیلُونَ ۝٥٤

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

(And he conveyed:) ‘Surely, these (Children of Israel) are but a small party

26:55

وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَنَا لَغَاۤىِٕظُونَ ۝٥٥

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And undoubtedly, they are provoking us

wa-innahum lanā laghāiẓūn

26:56

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِیعٌ حَـٰذِرُونَ ۝٥٦

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And verily, we all are (also) alert and vigilant.

26:57

فَأَخۡرَجۡنَـٰهُم مِّن جَنَّـٰتࣲ وَعُیُونࣲ ۝٥٧

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Then We drove them (Pharaoh’s people) out of gardens and springs

fa-akhrajnāhum min jannātin waʿuyūni

26:58

وَكُنُوزࣲ وَمَقَامࣲ كَرِیمࣲ ۝٥٨

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And (also expelled them) from treasures and refined dwellings

26:59

كَذَ ٰلِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَـٰهَا بَنِیۤ إِسۡرَ ٰۤءِیلَ ۝٥٩

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

So (We did) and made the Children of Israel inheritors of all (those bounties)

kadhālika wa-awrathnāhā banī is'rāīl

26:60

فَأَتۡبَعُوهُم مُّشۡرِقِینَ ۝٦٠

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Then at sunrise, they (Pharaoh’s people) chased them

fa-atbaʿūhum mush'riqīn

26:61

فَلَمَّا تَرَ ٰۤءَا ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِ قَالَ أَصۡحَـٰبُ مُوسَىٰۤ إِنَّا لَمُدۡرَكُونَ ۝٦١

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

So when the two parties came face to face, the companions of Musa (Moses) said: ‘(Now) we are sure to be caught.

falammā tarāā l-jamʿāni qāla aṣḥābu mūsā innā lamud'rakūn

26:62

قَالَ كَلَّاۤۖ إِنَّ مَعِیَ رَبِّی سَیَهۡدِینِ ۝٦٢

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

(Musa [Moses]) said: ‘Never! Surely, my Lord is with me. He will show me the way (to deliverance) just now.

qāla kallā inna maʿiya rabbī sayahdīn

26:63

فَأَوۡحَیۡنَاۤ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰۤ أَنِ ٱضۡرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرۡقࣲ كَٱلطَّوۡدِ ٱلۡعَظِیمِ ۝٦٣

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Then We revealed to Musa (Moses): ‘Strike the sea with your staff.’ So the sea split (into twelve parts) and each part became like a huge mountain

26:64

وَأَزۡلَفۡنَا ثَمَّ ٱلۡءَاخَرِینَ ۝٦٤

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And We brought the other party (Pharaoh and his companions) closer to that place

26:65

وَأَنجَیۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥۤ أَجۡمَعِینَ ۝٦٥

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And We saved Musa (Moses) and (also) all those who were with him

wa-anjaynā mūsā waman maʿahu ajmaʿīn

26:66

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡءَاخَرِینَ ۝٦٦

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Then We drowned the others (i.e., Pharaoh and his people)

26:67

إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ لَءَایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ ۝٦٧

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Surely, in this (incident), there is a great sign (of Allah’s Infinite Power). And most of them were not believers

inna fī dhālika laāyatan wamā kāna aktharuhum mu'minīn

26:68

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ ۝٦٨

And verily, your Lord alone is Almighty, Ever-Merciful indeed

And also recite to them the story of Ibrahim (Abraham)

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ لُوطٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١٦١

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

When Lut (Lot), their (kinship) brother, said to them: ‘Do you not fear (Allah)

idh qāla lahum akhūhum lūṭun alā tattaqūn

26:162

إِنِّی لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِینࣱ ۝١٦٢

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Verily, I (have come as) a trustworthy Messenger to you

26:163

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِیعُونِ ۝١٦٣

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

So fear Allah and obey me

fa-ittaqū l-laha wa-aṭīʿūn

26:164

وَمَاۤ أَسۡءَلُكُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِیَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ۝١٦٤

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And I do not demand of you any wages for this (preaching of the truth). My reward is only with the Lord of all the worlds

wamā asalukum ʿalayhi min ajrin in ajriya illā ʿalā rabbi l-ʿālamīn

26:165

أَتَأۡتُونَ ٱلذُّكۡرَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ۝١٦٥

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Do you approach only males (to satisfy your sexual desire) from amongst the people of the world

atatūna l-dhuk'rāna mina l-ʿālamīn

26:166

وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمۡ رَبُّكُم مِّنۡ أَزۡوَ ٰجِكُمۚ بَلۡ أَنتُمۡ قَوۡمٌ عَادُونَ ۝١٦٦

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And you leave your wives your Lord has created for you? You are rather of those who exceed bounds (in transgression).

watadharūna mā khalaqa lakum rabbukum min azwājikum bal antum qawmun ʿādūn

26:167

قَالُوا۟ لَىِٕن لَّمۡ تَنتَهِ یَـٰلُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمُخۡرَجِینَ ۝١٦٧

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

They said: ‘O Lut (Lot), if you do not stop (saying these things), you will surely become of the exiled.

qālū la-in lam tantahi yālūṭu latakūnanna mina l-mukh'rajīn

26:168

قَالَ إِنِّی لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡقَالِینَ ۝١٦٨

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

(Lut [Lot]) said: ‘No doubt I am of those who are disgusted by your practice

qāla innī liʿamalikum mina l-qālīn

26:169

رَبِّ نَجِّنِی وَأَهۡلِی مِمَّا یَعۡمَلُونَ ۝١٦٩

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

O Lord! Deliver me and my family from (the consequent suffering of) this practice which they are doing.

rabbi najjinī wa-ahlī mimmā yaʿmalūn

26:170

فَنَجَّیۡنَـٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥۤ أَجۡمَعِینَ ۝١٧٠

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

So We delivered him and his entire family

fanajjaynāhu wa-ahlahu ajmaʿīn

26:171

إِلَّا عَجُوزࣰا فِی ٱلۡغَـٰبِرِینَ ۝١٧١

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Except for an old woman who was amongst those who stayed behind

illā ʿajūzan fī l-ghābirīn

26:172

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡءَاخَرِینَ ۝١٧٢

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Then We destroyed the others

thumma dammarnā l-ākharīn

26:173

وَأَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَیۡهِم مَّطَرࣰاۖ فَسَاۤءَ مَطَرُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِینَ ۝١٧٣

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And We rained on them (stones). So how devastating was that rain on the people who were stressed with horror

wa-amṭarnā ʿalayhim maṭaran fasāa maṭaru l-mundharīn

26:174

إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ لَءَایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ ۝١٧٤

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Surely, in this (incident), there is a great sign and most of them were not believers

inna fī dhālika laāyatan wamā kāna aktharuhum mu'minīn

26:175

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ ۝١٧٥

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And verily, your Lord alone is Almighty, Ever-Merciful

wa-inna rabbaka lahuwa l-ʿazīzu l-raḥīm

26:176

كَذَّبَ أَصۡحَـٰبُ لۡءَیۡكَةِ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ ۝١٧٦

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

The dwellers of al-Ayka (i.e., the People of the Wood also) rejected the Messengers

kadhaba aṣḥābu al'aykati l-mur'salīn

26:177

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ شُعَیۡبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١٧٧

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

When Shu‘ayb said to them: ‘Do you not fear (Allah)

idh qāla lahum shuʿaybun alā tattaqūn

26:178

إِنِّی لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِینࣱ ۝١٧٨

26:179

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِیعُونِ ۝١٧٩

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

So fear Allah and obey me

fa-ittaqū l-laha wa-aṭīʿūn

26:180

وَمَاۤ أَسۡءَلُكُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِیَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ۝١٨٠

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Always fill up full measure and do not become injurious (to the rights of the people)

awfū l-kayla walā takūnū mina l-mukh'sirīn

26:182

وَزِنُوا۟ بِٱلۡقِسۡطَاسِ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِیمِ ۝١٨٢

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And weigh with a straight balance

wazinū bil-qis'ṭāsi l-mus'taqīm

26:183

وَلَا تَبۡخَسُوا۟ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشۡیَاۤءَهُمۡ وَلَا تَعۡثَوۡا۟ فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مُفۡسِدِینَ ۝١٨٣

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And do not give to the people their things (weighing) less than what is due, nor provoke strife in the land (by such moral, economic and social corruption and fraud)

walā tabkhasū l-nāsa ashyāahum walā taʿthaw fī l-arḍi muf'sidīn

26:184

وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِی خَلَقَكُمۡ وَٱلۡجِبِلَّةَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ ۝١٨٤

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And fear Him (Allah) Who has created you and the former generations.

wa-ittaqū alladhī khalaqakum wal-jibilata l-awalīn

26:185

قَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّمَاۤ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَحَّرِینَ ۝١٨٥

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

They said: ‘(O Shu‘ayb,) you are but of the magic-stricken people

qālū innamā anta mina l-musaḥarīn

26:186

وَمَاۤ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرࣱ مِّثۡلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡكَـٰذِبِینَ ۝١٨٦

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And you are but a human being like us, and surely we consider you amongst the liars

wamā anta illā basharun mith'lunā wa-in naẓunnuka lamina l-kādhibīn

26:187

فَأَسۡقِطۡ عَلَیۡنَا كِسَفࣰا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِینَ ۝١٨٧

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

So, make a piece of heaven fall on us if you are truthful.

fa-asqiṭ ʿalaynā kisafan mina l-samāi in kunta mina l-ṣādiqīn

26:188

قَالَ رَبِّیۤ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ ۝١٨٨

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

(Shu‘ayb) said: ‘My Lord knows best these (frauds) which you are doing.

qāla rabbī aʿlamu bimā taʿmalūn

26:189

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمۡ عَذَابُ یَوۡمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ یَوۡمٍ عَظِیمٍ ۝١٨٩

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

So they rejected Shu‘ayb, and the torment of the Day of Shadow seized them. No doubt, that was the torment of a terrible day

fakadhabūhu fa-akhadhahum ʿadhābu yawmi l-ẓulati innahu kāna ʿadhāba yawmin ʿaẓīmi

26:190

إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ لَءَایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ ۝١٩٠

Surely, in this (incident), there is a great sign and most of them were not believers

26:191

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ ۝١٩١

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And verily, your Lord alone is Almighty, Ever-Merciful

wa-inna rabbaka lahuwa l-ʿazīzu l-raḥīm

26:192

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِیلُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ۝١٩٢

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And indeed, this Qur’an has been revealed by the Lord of all the worlds

wa-innahu latanzīlu rabbi l-ʿālamīn

26:193

نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلۡأَمِینُ ۝١٩٣

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

The Trusted Spirit (Gabriel) has descended with it

nazala bihi l-rūḥu l-amīn

26:194

عَلَىٰ قَلۡبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُنذِرِینَ ۝١٩٤

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Upon your (most illumined) heart so that you may be a Warner (to the disobedient)

bilisānin ʿarabiyyin mubīni

26:195

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِیࣲّ مُّبِینࣲ ۝١٩٥

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

(It is sent down) in the plain Arabic language

Bilisanin AAarabiyyin mubeenin

26:196

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِی زُبُرِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ ۝١٩٦

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And verily, it is (also mentioned) in the scriptures of the former communities

wa-innahu lafī zuburi l-awalīn

26:197

أَوَ لَمۡ یَكُن لَّهُمۡ ءَایَةً أَن یَعۡلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَـٰۤؤُا۟ بَنِیۤ إِسۡرَ ٰۤءِیلَ ۝١٩٧

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And is it not for them a (sufficient) proof (of the truth of the Qur’an and the truth of Muhammad’s Prophethood [blessings and peace be upon him]) that the learned scholars of the Children of Israel (also) recognize it

awalam yakun lahum āyatan an yaʿlamahu ʿulamāu banī is'rāīl

26:198

وَلَوۡ نَزَّلۡنَـٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضِ ٱلۡأَعۡجَمِینَ ۝١٩٨

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And if We had sent it down to any of the non-Arabs

walaw nazzalnāhu ʿalā baʿḍi l-aʿjamīn

26:199

فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَیۡهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤۡمِنِینَ ۝١٩٩

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And he had recited it to these people, (even then) they would not have believed in it

faqara-ahu ʿalayhim mā kānū bihi mu'minīn

26:200

كَذَ ٰلِكَ سَلَكۡنَـٰهُ فِی قُلُوبِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِینَ ۝٢٠٠

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Thus have We forced its (denial) firmly into the hearts of the sinners

kadhālika salaknāhu fī qulūbi l-muj'rimīn

26:201

لَا یُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ یَرَوُا۟ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِیمَ ۝٢٠١

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

They will not believe in it until they see the painful torment

lā yu'minūna bihi ḥattā yarawū l-ʿadhāba l-alīm

26:202

فَیَأۡتِیَهُم بَغۡتَةࣰ وَهُمۡ لَا یَشۡعُرُونَ ۝٢٠٢

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

So that (torment) will come upon them all of a sudden, and they will not (even) perceive it

fayatiyahum baghtatan wahum lā yashʿurūn

26:203

فَیَقُولُوا۟ هَلۡ نَحۡنُ مُنظَرُونَ ۝٢٠٣

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

They will then say: ‘Shall we be given respite?

fayaqūlū hal naḥnu munẓarūn

26:204

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا یَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ ۝٢٠٤

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Do they seek to hasten Our punishment

afabiʿadhābinā yastaʿjilūn

26:205

أَفَرَءَیۡتَ إِن مَّتَّعۡنَـٰهُمۡ سِنِینَ ۝٢٠٥

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Tell Me, if We provide them benefit for years

afara-ayta in mattaʿnāhum sinīn

26:206

ثُمَّ جَاۤءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ یُوعَدُونَ ۝٢٠٦

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Then comes to them that (torment) which they are being promised

thumma jāahum mā kānū yūʿadūn

26:207

مَاۤ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ یُمَتَّعُونَ ۝٢٠٧

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Then what will those resources which they were utilizing do (to drive that torment away from them)

mā aghnā ʿanhum mā kānū yumattaʿūn

26:208

وَمَاۤ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَرۡیَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ ۝٢٠٨

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And We have not destroyed any town except those (towns) for which Warners had come

wamā ahlaknā min qaryatin illā lahā mundhirūn

26:209

ذِكۡرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِینَ ۝٢٠٩

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

(And that too) for direction and guidance. And We were not unjust

dhik'rā wamā kunnā ẓālimīn

26:210

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتۡ بِهِ ٱلشَّیَـٰطِینُ ۝٢١٠

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And it is not satans who descended with this (Qur’an)

wamā tanazzalat bihi l-shayāṭīn

26:211

وَمَا یَنۢبَغِی لَهُمۡ وَمَا یَسۡتَطِیعُونَ ۝٢١١

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

They are neither worthy nor capable (of it)

wamā yanbaghī lahum wamā yastaṭīʿūn

26:212

إِنَّهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلسَّمۡعِ لَمَعۡزُولُونَ ۝٢١٢

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Surely, they have been debarred from hearing (this divine communication)

innahum ʿani l-samʿi lamaʿzūlūn

26:213

فَلَا تَدۡعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُعَذَّبِینَ ۝٢١٣

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

So, (O My servant,) do not call upon any other god besides Allah lest you become of those who are punished

falā tadʿu maʿa l-lahi ilāhan ākhara fatakūna mina l-muʿadhabīn

26:214

وَأَنذِرۡ عَشِیرَتَكَ ٱلۡأَقۡرَبِینَ ۝٢١٤

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And, (O Esteemed Beloved,) warn your close relatives (of Our torment)

wa-andhir ʿashīrataka l-aqrabīn

26:215

وَٱخۡفِضۡ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ ۝٢١٥

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And extend your (merciful, kind and supporting) hand to those believers who follow you

wa-ikh'fiḍ janāḥaka limani ittabaʿaka mina l-mu'minīn

26:216

فَإِنۡ عَصَوۡكَ فَقُلۡ إِنِّی بَرِیۤءࣱ مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ ۝٢١٦

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

But, if they disobey you, then say: ‘I am disgusted by these (evil) deeds which you are doing.

fa-in ʿaṣawka faqul innī barīon mimmā taʿmalūn

26:217

وَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱلۡعَزِیزِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ ۝٢١٧

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And put your trust in Almighty, Ever-Merciful (Lord)

26:218

ٱلَّذِی یَرَىٰكَ حِینَ تَقُومُ ۝٢١٨

Who sees you when you stand up (for Tahajjud Prayer in the solitary hours at night)

alladhī yarāka ḥīna taqūm

26:219

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِی ٱلسَّـٰجِدِینَ ۝٢١٩

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And Who (also keeps) seeing your turning movements amongst those who prostrate themselves in Prayer

wataqallubaka fī l-sājidīn

26:220

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِیعُ ٱلۡعَلِیمُ ۝٢٢٠

Verily, He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing

26:221

هَلۡ أُنَبِّئُكُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّیَـٰطِینُ ۝٢٢١

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Shall I tell you upon whom the satans descend

26:222

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِیمࣲ ۝٢٢٢

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

They descend on every lying sinner (who weaves false allegations)

tanazzalu ʿalā kulli affākin athīmi

26:223

یُلۡقُونَ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ كَـٰذِبُونَ ۝٢٢٣

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Who pour (into their ears) hearsay and most of them are liars

26:224

وَٱلشُّعَرَاۤءُ یَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ ۝٢٢٤

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And only the digressers follow the poets

26:225

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّهُمۡ فِی كُلِّ وَادࣲ یَهِیمُونَ ۝٢٢٥

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Have you not seen that these (poets) wander distracted (purposelessly) in every valley (of reflections? They take little serious and true interest in reality. They rather remain happy and lost in verbal leaps and imaginative jumps)

alam tara annahum fī kulli wādin yahīmūn

26:226

وَأَنَّهُمۡ یَقُولُونَ مَا لَا یَفۡعَلُونَ ۝٢٢٦

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

And that they say (such things) that they do not (themselves) do

wa-annahum yaqūlūna mā lā yafʿalūn

26:227

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِیرࣰا وَٱنتَصَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ۗ وَسَیَعۡلَمُ ٱلَّذِینَ ظَلَمُوۤا۟ أَیَّ مُنقَلَبࣲ یَنقَلِبُونَ ۝٢٢٧

Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Except for those (poets) who believe and do pious deeds persistently and remember Allah abundantly (i.e., they eulogize Allah and the Holy Prophet [blessings and peace be upon him] in their poetry), and avenge themselves after they are wronged (by means of poetic compositions, and defend Islam and the oppressed rather inspire them with zeal through their poetry. This type of poetry is not condemnable.) And those who do wrong will soon come to know to what place of turning they will turn back (after death)
