أَتَأۡتُونَ ٱلذُّكۡرَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ۝١٦٥

Dr. Munir Munshey

"Do you commit (the sexual act) with the males in this world?"

atatūna l-dhuk'rāna mina l-ʿālamīn

26:166

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

Dr. Munir Munshey

"And you forsake the mates that your Lord created for you? Indeed, you are a nation guilty of transcending the limits."

26:167

Dr. Munir Munshey

They said, "If you did not stop, oh Loot, you would most certainly be expelled."

26:168

قَالَ إِنِّی لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡقَالِینَ ۝١٦٨

He said, "I am certainly among those who loathe and abhor your deeds!"

qāla innī liʿamalikum mina l-qālīn

26:169

رَبِّ نَجِّنِی وَأَهۡلِی مِمَّا یَعۡمَلُونَ ۝١٦٩

Dr. Munir Munshey

He prayed, "My Lord! Save me and my family from (the evil of) what they do."

rabbi najjinī wa-ahlī mimmā yaʿmalūn

26:170

فَنَجَّیۡنَـٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥۤ أَجۡمَعِینَ ۝١٧٠

Dr. Munir Munshey

So We saved him and all of his family

fanajjaynāhu wa-ahlahu ajmaʿīn

26:171

إِلَّا عَجُوزࣰا فِی ٱلۡغَـٰبِرِینَ ۝١٧١

Dr. Munir Munshey

Except an old woman, _ Loot´s wife _ who stayed behind (with the evil doers)

illā ʿajūzan fī l-ghābirīn

26:172

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡءَاخَرِینَ ۝١٧٢

Dr. Munir Munshey

After that We annihilated the rest of them

thumma dammarnā l-ākharīn

26:173

وَأَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَیۡهِم مَّطَرࣰاۖ فَسَاۤءَ مَطَرُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِینَ ۝١٧٣

Dr. Munir Munshey

We doused them with a downpour (of brimstone)! A devastating evil rain (fell) upon those forewarned

wa-amṭarnā ʿalayhim maṭaran fasāa maṭaru l-mundharīn

26:174

إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ لَءَایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ ۝١٧٤

There is surely a sign in this! But most of them do not believe

26:175

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ ۝١٧٥

Dr. Munir Munshey

Your Lord is surely the One Who is the most Powerful and the most Merciful

26:176

كَذَّبَ أَصۡحَـٰبُ لۡءَیۡكَةِ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ ۝١٧٦

Dr. Munir Munshey

And the people of ´Aika´ rejected the messengers

kadhaba aṣḥābu al'aykati l-mur'salīn

26:177

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ شُعَیۡبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١٧٧

When Shoaib said to them, "Do you not fear (Allah)?"

26:188

قَالَ رَبِّیۤ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ ۝١٨٨

Dr. Munir Munshey

(The messenger, Shoaib) said, "My Lord is Aware of what you are doing!"

qāla rabbī aʿlamu bimā taʿmalūn

26:189

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

Dr. Munir Munshey

Thus, they rejected him. So, the punishment of the day of canopy (when dark clouds spread across like a canopy) grabbed them. It really was the punishment 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

Dr. Munir Munshey

There is surely a sign in this, but most of them do not believe

inna fī dhālika laāyatan wamā kāna aktharuhum mu'minīn

26:191

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ ۝١٩١

Dr. Munir Munshey

And your Lord is surely the One Who is the most Powerful and the most Merciful

wa-inna rabbaka lahuwa l-ʿazīzu l-raḥīm

26:192

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِیلُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ۝١٩٢

Dr. Munir Munshey

This (Qur´an) is truly the revelation of the Lord of the universe

wa-innahu latanzīlu rabbi l-ʿālamīn

26:193

نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلۡأَمِینُ ۝١٩٣

Dr. Munir Munshey

The reliable and the loyal angel brought it (and revealed it)

nazala bihi l-rūḥu l-amīn

26:194

عَلَىٰ قَلۡبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُنذِرِینَ ۝١٩٤

Dr. Munir Munshey

To your heart! So you may serve as a warner

bilisānin ʿarabiyyin mubīni

26:195

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِیࣲّ مُّبِینࣲ ۝١٩٥

Dr. Munir Munshey

It is in a plain and pristine Arabic language

Bilisanin AAarabiyyin mubeenin

26:196

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِی زُبُرِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ ۝١٩٦

Dr. Munir Munshey

Indeed, that (very same message) exists in the scriptures of the earlier people

wa-innahu lafī zuburi l-awalīn

26:197

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

Dr. Munir Munshey

And is it not a sufficient sign for them that (some of) the scholars of the Israelites also recognize it

awalam yakun lahum āyatan an yaʿlamahu ʿulamāu banī is'rāīl

26:198

وَلَوۡ نَزَّلۡنَـٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضِ ٱلۡأَعۡجَمِینَ ۝١٩٨

Dr. Munir Munshey

Even if We had revealed this (Arabic Qur´an) upon a non-Arab

walaw nazzalnāhu ʿalā baʿḍi l-aʿjamīn

26:199

فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَیۡهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤۡمِنِینَ ۝١٩٩

Dr. Munir Munshey

And even if that non-Arab was to recite it to them (in Arabic), they would still not believe

faqara-ahu ʿalayhim mā kānū bihi mu'minīn

26:200

كَذَ ٰلِكَ سَلَكۡنَـٰهُ فِی قُلُوبِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِینَ ۝٢٠٠

Dr. Munir Munshey

Thus, We lance this (Qur´an) through the hearts of the criminals

kadhālika salaknāhu fī qulūbi l-muj'rimīn

26:201

لَا یُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ یَرَوُا۟ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِیمَ ۝٢٠١

Dr. Munir Munshey

They will not believe, right until they see that painful punishment

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

26:202

فَیَأۡتِیَهُم بَغۡتَةࣰ وَهُمۡ لَا یَشۡعُرُونَ ۝٢٠٢

Dr. Munir Munshey

Come upon them suddenly! They will not see it coming

fayatiyahum baghtatan wahum lā yashʿurūn

26:203

فَیَقُولُوا۟ هَلۡ نَحۡنُ مُنظَرُونَ ۝٢٠٣

Dr. Munir Munshey

Then they shall begin saying, "May we have some respite?"

fayaqūlū hal naḥnu munẓarūn

26:204

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا یَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ ۝٢٠٤

Dr. Munir Munshey

Are they urging for Our punishment to be hastened

afabiʿadhābinā yastaʿjilūn

26:205

أَفَرَءَیۡتَ إِن مَّتَّعۡنَـٰهُمۡ سِنِینَ ۝٢٠٥

Dr. Munir Munshey

Have you given it a thought? (Even) if We let them enjoy (life) for years

afara-ayta in mattaʿnāhum sinīn

26:206

ثُمَّ جَاۤءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ یُوعَدُونَ ۝٢٠٦

Dr. Munir Munshey

And then the promised punishment comes to them

thumma jāahum mā kānū yūʿadūn

26:207

مَاۤ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ یُمَتَّعُونَ ۝٢٠٧

Dr. Munir Munshey

Would the years they spend in enjoyment be of any use to them

mā aghnā ʿanhum mā kānū yumattaʿūn

26:208

وَمَاۤ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَرۡیَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ ۝٢٠٨

Dr. Munir Munshey

We never destroy any town unless it had a warner

wamā ahlaknā min qaryatin illā lahā mundhirūn

26:209

ذِكۡرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِینَ ۝٢٠٩

Dr. Munir Munshey

A reminder! We are never unjust

dhik'rā wamā kunnā ẓālimīn

26:210

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتۡ بِهِ ٱلشَّیَـٰطِینُ ۝٢١٠

Dr. Munir Munshey

It isn´t the Shaitans (the Devils) who came down with it _ (the Qur´an)

wamā tanazzalat bihi l-shayāṭīn

26:211

وَمَا یَنۢبَغِی لَهُمۡ وَمَا یَسۡتَطِیعُونَ ۝٢١١

Dr. Munir Munshey

They are not worthy of it. Nor are they able (to do it)

wamā yanbaghī lahum wamā yastaṭīʿūn

26:212

إِنَّهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلسَّمۡعِ لَمَعۡزُولُونَ ۝٢١٢

Dr. Munir Munshey

Indeed, they are kept too far away to be able to hear it

innahum ʿani l-samʿi lamaʿzūlūn

26:213

فَلَا تَدۡعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُعَذَّبِینَ ۝٢١٣

Dr. Munir Munshey

Therefore, do not call any god along with Allah. Else, you will be among those being punished

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

26:214

وَأَنذِرۡ عَشِیرَتَكَ ٱلۡأَقۡرَبِینَ ۝٢١٤

Dr. Munir Munshey

Warn your closest relatives

وَٱخۡفِضۡ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ ۝٢١٥

Dr. Munir Munshey

And be kind to the believers who obey you

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

26:216

فَإِنۡ عَصَوۡكَ فَقُلۡ إِنِّی بَرِیۤءࣱ مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ ۝٢١٦

Dr. Munir Munshey

Should they disobey you, say, "Surely, I bear no blame for what you are doing."

fa-in ʿaṣawka faqul innī barīon mimmā taʿmalūn

26:217

وَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱلۡعَزِیزِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ ۝٢١٧

Dr. Munir Munshey

And place your trust in the most Powerful and the most Kind

26:218

ٱلَّذِی یَرَىٰكَ حِینَ تَقُومُ ۝٢١٨

Dr. Munir Munshey

The One Who watches you when you stand (in prayers)

alladhī yarāka ḥīna taqūm

26:219

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِی ٱلسَّـٰجِدِینَ ۝٢١٩

Dr. Munir Munshey

And (watches) your movements among those who fall prostrate (along with you in prayers)

wataqallubaka fī l-sājidīn

26:220

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِیعُ ٱلۡعَلِیمُ ۝٢٢٠

Dr. Munir Munshey

Indeed, it is He Who sees-all and knows-all

innahu huwa l-samīʿu l-ʿalīm

26:221

هَلۡ أُنَبِّئُكُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّیَـٰطِینُ ۝٢٢١

Dr. Munir Munshey

Shall I point out to you those upon whom the Shaitans _ (the devils) _ land

26:222

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِیمࣲ ۝٢٢٢

Dr. Munir Munshey

They descend upon all the lying sinners

tanazzalu ʿalā kulli affākin athīmi

26:223

یُلۡقُونَ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ كَـٰذِبُونَ ۝٢٢٣

Dr. Munir Munshey

And (they) feed them heresies; Most of them are liars

26:224

وَٱلشُّعَرَاۤءُ یَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ ۝٢٢٤

Dr. Munir Munshey

As for the poets, only the misguided ones heed them

26:225

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّهُمۡ فِی كُلِّ وَادࣲ یَهِیمُونَ ۝٢٢٥

Dr. Munir Munshey

Do you not see? These poets dabble in every subject and meander about with every thought

alam tara annahum fī kulli wādin yahīmūn

26:226

وَأَنَّهُمۡ یَقُولُونَ مَا لَا یَفۡعَلُونَ ۝٢٢٦

Dr. Munir Munshey

They do not practice what they proclaim

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. Munir Munshey

Except those who believe, perform good deeds, remember Allah a lot, and seek and redress only if they are unjustly wronged. Very soon the oppressors will come to know the means and manners by which they will be toppled

illā alladhīna āmanū waʿamilū l-ṣāliḥāti wadhakarū l-laha kathīran wa-intaṣarū min baʿdi mā ẓulimū wasayaʿlamu alladhīna ẓalamū ayya munqalabin yanqalibūn
