So, he threw down his staff, and in no time it was a serpent, clearly visible

26:33

وَنَزَعَ یَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِیَ بَیۡضَاۤءُ لِلنَّـٰظِرِینَ ۝٣٣

He wants to expel you from your land with his sorcery. So what do you suggest?

26:36

قَالُوۤا۟ أَرۡجِهۡ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبۡعَثۡ فِی ٱلۡمَدَاۤىِٕنِ حَـٰشِرِینَ ۝٣٦

26:37

یَأۡتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِیمࣲ ۝٣٧

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

so that they bring to you every highly expert sorcerer

26:38

فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِیقَـٰتِ یَوۡمࣲ مَّعۡلُومࣲ ۝٣٨

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

So the sorcerers were assembled for the appointed time of a known day

26:39

وَقِیلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّجۡتَمِعُونَ ۝٣٩

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

and it was said to the people, .Would you assemble

waqīla lilnnāsi hal antum muj'tamiʿūn

26:40

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلۡغَـٰلِبِینَ ۝٤٠

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

so that we may follow the sorcerers if they are victorious?

laʿallanā nattabiʿu l-saḥarata in kānū humu l-ghālibīn

26:41

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

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

So, when the sorcerers came, they said to Pharaoh, .Will there be a sure reward for us, if we are the victorious?

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

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

He said, .Yes, and of course, you will then be among the closer ones

qāla naʿam wa-innakum idhan lamina l-muqarabīn

26:43

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰۤ أَلۡقُوا۟ مَاۤ أَنتُم مُّلۡقُونَ ۝٤٣

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

Musa said to them, .Throw you down what you are to throw

qāla lahum mūsā alqū mā antum mul'qūn

26:44

فَأَلۡقَوۡا۟ حِبَالَهُمۡ وَعِصِیَّهُمۡ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَـٰلِبُونَ ۝٤٤

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

So they threw down their ropes and their staffs and said, .By the majesty of Pharaoh, we will be the triumphant for sure

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

26:45

فَأَلۡقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِیَ تَلۡقَفُ مَا یَأۡفِكُونَ ۝٤٥

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

Then Musa threw down his staff, and in no time it started swallowing the falsehood they invented

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

26:46

فَأُلۡقِیَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَـٰجِدِینَ ۝٤٦

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

So the sorcerers were made (by the truth they saw) to fall down in prostration

fa-ul'qiya l-saḥaratu sājidīn

26:47

قَالُوۤا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ۝٤٧

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

They said, .We have believed in the Lord of the worlds

qālū āmannā birabbi l-ʿālamīn

26:48

رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ ۝٤٨

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

the Lord of Musa and Harun

rabbi mūsā wahārūn

26:49

قَالَ ءَامَنتُمۡ لَهُۥ قَبۡلَ أَنۡ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِیرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِی عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحۡرَ فَلَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَیۡدِیَكُمۡ وَأَرۡجُلَكُم مِّنۡ خِلَـٰفࣲ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمۡ أَجۡمَعِینَ ۝٤٩

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

He (Pharaoh) said, .You have believed in him before I permit you. Surely, he (Musa) is the chief of you all, who has taught you sorcery. So you will soon know (your fate). I will cut off your hands and feet from different sides, and will crucify you all together

qāla āmantum lahu qabla an ādhana lakum innahu lakabīrukumu alladhī ʿallamakumu l-siḥ'ra falasawfa taʿlamūna la-uqaṭṭiʿanna aydiyakum wa-arjulakum min khilāfin wala-uṣallibannakum ajmaʿīn

26:50

قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَیۡرَۖ إِنَّاۤ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ ۝٥٠

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

They said, .There is no harm. We will 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

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

We really hope that our Lord will forgive us our faults, as we are the first of the believers

innā naṭmaʿu an yaghfira lanā rabbunā khaṭāyānā an kunnā awwala l-mu'minīn

26:52

۞ وَأَوۡحَیۡنَاۤ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰۤ أَنۡ أَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِیۤ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ ۝٥٢

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

And We revealed to Musa saying, .Make My servants travel at night. You will be pursued

wa-awḥaynā ilā mūsā an asri biʿibādī innakum muttabaʿūn

26:53

فَأَرۡسَلَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ فِی ٱلۡمَدَاۤىِٕنِ حَـٰشِرِینَ ۝٥٣

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

So Pharaoh sent into the cities (his) men to muster (people

fa-arsala fir'ʿawnu fī l-madāini ḥāshirīn

26:54

إِنَّ هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ لَشِرۡذِمَةࣱ قَلِیلُونَ ۝٥٤

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

saying, .These are a small band

inna hāulāi lashir'dhimatun qalīlūn

26:55

وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَنَا لَغَاۤىِٕظُونَ ۝٥٥

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

and indeed they are enraging us

wa-innahum lanā laghāiẓūn

26:56

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِیعٌ حَـٰذِرُونَ ۝٥٦

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

and we are a host, well-armed

wa-innā lajamīʿun ḥādhirūn

26:57

فَأَخۡرَجۡنَـٰهُم مِّن جَنَّـٰتࣲ وَعُیُونࣲ ۝٥٧

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

Thus We expelled them (i.e. the people of Pharaoh) from gardens and springs

fa-akhrajnāhum min jannātin waʿuyūni

26:58

وَكُنُوزࣲ وَمَقَامࣲ كَرِیمࣲ ۝٥٨

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

and from treasures and a noble abode

wakunūzin wamaqāmin karīmi

26:59

كَذَ ٰلِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَـٰهَا بَنِیۤ إِسۡرَ ٰۤءِیلَ ۝٥٩

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

Thus it was. And We made the children of Isra‘il inherit all such things

kadhālika wa-awrathnāhā banī is'rāīl

26:60

فَأَتۡبَعُوهُم مُّشۡرِقِینَ ۝٦٠

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

So they (the people of Pharaoh) pursued them (the people of Musa) at the time of sunrise

fa-atbaʿūhum mush'riqīn

26:61

فَلَمَّا تَرَ ٰۤءَا ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِ قَالَ أَصۡحَـٰبُ مُوسَىٰۤ إِنَّا لَمُدۡرَكُونَ ۝٦١

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

And when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Musa said, .Surely we are overtaken

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

26:62

قَالَ كَلَّاۤۖ إِنَّ مَعِیَ رَبِّی سَیَهۡدِینِ ۝٦٢

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

He said, .Never! Indeed with me is my Lord. He will guide me

qāla kallā inna maʿiya rabbī sayahdīn

26:63

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

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

So We revealed to Musa saying, .Strike the sea with your staff. So it was severed apart, and each part became like a big mountain

fa-awḥaynā ilā mūsā ani iḍ'rib biʿaṣāka l-baḥra fa-infalaqa fakāna kullu fir'qin kal-ṭawdi l-ʿaẓīm

26:64

وَأَزۡلَفۡنَا ثَمَّ ٱلۡءَاخَرِینَ ۝٦٤

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

Then We brought others close to that place

wa-azlafnā thamma l-ākharīn

26:65

وَأَنجَیۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥۤ أَجۡمَعِینَ ۝٦٥

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

And We saved Musa and all those with him

wa-anjaynā mūsā waman maʿahu ajmaʿīn

26:66

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡءَاخَرِینَ ۝٦٦

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

Then we drowned the others

thumma aghraqnā l-ākharīn

26:67

إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ لَءَایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ ۝٦٧

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

Surely, in this there is a sign, but most of them are not believers

inna fī dhālika laāyatan wamā kāna aktharuhum mu'minīn

26:68

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ ۝٦٨

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

and indeed your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful

wa-inna rabbaka lahuwa l-ʿazīzu l-raḥīm

26:69

وَٱتۡلُ عَلَیۡهِمۡ نَبَأَ إِبۡرَ ٰهِیمَ ۝٦٩

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

And recite before them the narrative of Ibrahim

wa-ut'lu ʿalayhim naba-a ib'rāhīm

26:70

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِیهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَا تَعۡبُدُونَ ۝٧٠

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

when he said to his father and to his people, .What do you worship?

idh qāla li-abīhi waqawmihi mā taʿbudūn

26:71

قَالُوا۟ نَعۡبُدُ أَصۡنَامࣰا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَـٰكِفِینَ ۝٧١

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

They said, .We worship idols, and stay devoted to them

qālū naʿbudu aṣnāman fanaẓallu lahā ʿākifīn

26:72

قَالَ هَلۡ یَسۡمَعُونَكُمۡ إِذۡ تَدۡعُونَ ۝٧٢

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

He said, .Do they listen to you when you call (them

qāla hal yasmaʿūnakum idh tadʿūn

26:73

أَوۡ یَنفَعُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ یَضُرُّونَ ۝٧٣

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

or do they bring benefit to you or harm?

aw yanfaʿūnakum aw yaḍurrūn

26:74

قَالُوا۟ بَلۡ وَجَدۡنَاۤ ءَابَاۤءَنَا كَذَ ٰلِكَ یَفۡعَلُونَ ۝٧٤

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

They said, .No, but we have found our fathers doing like this

qālū bal wajadnā ābāanā kadhālika yafʿalūn

26:75

قَالَ أَفَرَءَیۡتُم مَّا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُونَ ۝٧٥

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

He said, .Have you then ever considered what you have been worshipping

qāla afara-aytum mā kuntum taʿbudūn

26:76

أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَاۤؤُكُمُ ٱلۡأَقۡدَمُونَ ۝٧٦

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

you and your ancient fathers

26:77

فَإِنَّهُمۡ عَدُوࣱّ لِّیۤ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ۝٧٧

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

they all are an enemy to me, except the Lord of the worlds

fa-innahum ʿaduwwun lī illā rabba l-ʿālamīn

26:78

ٱلَّذِی خَلَقَنِی فَهُوَ یَهۡدِینِ ۝٧٨

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

who created me, and who guides me

and Who feeds me and gives me drink

26:80

وَإِذَا مَرِضۡتُ فَهُوَ یَشۡفِینِ ۝٨٠

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

and when I become sick, He heals me

26:81

وَٱلَّذِی یُمِیتُنِی ثُمَّ یُحۡیِینِ ۝٨١

O my Lord, give me wisdom, and make me join the righteous

26:84

وَٱجۡعَل لِّی لِسَانَ صِدۡقࣲ فِی ٱلۡءَاخِرِینَ ۝٨٤

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

and destine for me a truthful description among the next generations

and do not put me to disgrace on the Day when all will be raised to life

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

and do not make people short of their things, and do not spread disorder in the land as mischief-makers

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

26:184

وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِی خَلَقَكُمۡ وَٱلۡجِبِلَّةَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ ۝١٨٤

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

and be fearful of the One who created you and the former generations

26:185

قَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّمَاۤ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَحَّرِینَ ۝١٨٥

26:186

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

Thus they rejected him, so they were seized by the torment of the Day of Canopy. Indeed it 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

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

Surely, in this there is a sign, but most of them are not believers

inna fī dhālika laāyatan wamā kāna aktharuhum mu'minīn

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

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

Is it not a proof for them that the knowledgeable of the children of Isra‘il recognize him (the prophet)

26:198

وَلَوۡ نَزَّلۡنَـٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضِ ٱلۡأَعۡجَمِینَ ۝١٩٨

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

Even if We had revealed it to a Non-Arab

walaw nazzalnāhu ʿalā baʿḍi l-aʿjamīn

26:199

فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَیۡهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤۡمِنِینَ ۝١٩٩

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

and he had recited it to them, they would not have believed in it

faqara-ahu ʿalayhim mā kānū bihi mu'minīn

كَذَ ٰلِكَ سَلَكۡنَـٰهُ فِی قُلُوبِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِینَ ۝٢٠٠

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

This is how We have made it pass through the hearts of the sinners

26:202

فَیَأۡتِیَهُم بَغۡتَةࣰ وَهُمۡ لَا یَشۡعُرُونَ ۝٢٠٢

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

and it will come to them suddenly while they will not be anticipating (it)

fayatiyahum baghtatan wahum lā yashʿurūn

26:203

فَیَقُولُوا۟ هَلۡ نَحۡنُ مُنظَرُونَ ۝٢٠٣

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

and (then) they will say, .Is it (possible) that we are given some respite?

fayaqūlū hal naḥnu munẓarūn

26:204

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا یَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ ۝٢٠٤

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

Is it then Our punishment that they are trying to hasten up

afabiʿadhābinā yastaʿjilūn

26:205

أَفَرَءَیۡتَ إِن مَّتَّعۡنَـٰهُمۡ سِنِینَ ۝٢٠٥

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

So tell me, if We give them enjoyment for years

afara-ayta in mattaʿnāhum sinīn

26:206

ثُمَّ جَاۤءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ یُوعَدُونَ ۝٢٠٦

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

then comes to them what they are warned of

thumma jāahum mā kānū yūʿadūn

26:207

مَاۤ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ یُمَتَّعُونَ ۝٢٠٧

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

what help can they receive from the comforts they were given to enjoy

26:211

وَمَا یَنۢبَغِی لَهُمۡ وَمَا یَسۡتَطِیعُونَ ۝٢١١

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

It neither suits them, nor are they able to (do this)

wamā yanbaghī lahum wamā yastaṭīʿūn

26:212

إِنَّهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلسَّمۡعِ لَمَعۡزُولُونَ ۝٢١٢

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

In fact, they are kept far away from hearing (it at the time of revelation)

innahum ʿani l-samʿi lamaʿzūlūn

26:213

فَلَا تَدۡعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُعَذَّبِینَ ۝٢١٣

وَأَنذِرۡ عَشِیرَتَكَ ٱلۡأَقۡرَبِینَ ۝٢١٤

فَإِنۡ عَصَوۡكَ فَقُلۡ إِنِّی بَرِیۤءࣱ مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ ۝٢١٦

26:217

وَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱلۡعَزِیزِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ ۝٢١٧

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

and place your trust in the Mighty, the Merciful

watawakkal ʿalā l-ʿazīzi l-raḥīm

26:218

ٱلَّذِی یَرَىٰكَ حِینَ تَقُومُ ۝٢١٨

Surely, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing

innahu huwa l-samīʿu l-ʿalīm

هَلۡ أُنَبِّئُكُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّیَـٰطِینُ ۝٢٢١

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

Shall I tell you on whom the devils descend

hal unabbi-ukum ʿalā man tanazzalu l-shayāṭīn

26:222

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِیمࣲ ۝٢٢٢

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

They descend on every sinful liar

tanazzalu ʿalā kulli affākin athīmi

یُلۡقُونَ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ كَـٰذِبُونَ ۝٢٢٣

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

They give ear to hear (secretly,) and most of them tell lies

yul'qūna l-samʿa wa-aktharuhum kādhibūn

26:224

وَٱلشُّعَرَاۤءُ یَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ ۝٢٢٤

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

As for the poets, they are followed by the straying people

26:226

وَأَنَّهُمۡ یَقُولُونَ مَا لَا یَفۡعَلُونَ ۝٢٢٦

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

and that they say what they do not

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

Muhammad Taqi Usmani

Except those who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allah very much, and defend themselves after they are wronged. And the wrongdoers will soon know to which place they are going to return

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