بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
26:1 طسٓمٓ
26:1
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
Ta-Seen-Meem. (Alphabets of the Arabic language – Allah, and to whomever he reveals, know their precise meanings.)
26:2 تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
26:2
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
These are verses of the clear Book.
26:3 لَعَلَّكَ بَـٰخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ
26:3
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
Possibly you may risk your life (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) by grieving, because they did not believe.
26:4 إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَـٰقُهُمْ لَهَا خَـٰضِعِينَ
26:4
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
If We will, We can send down on them a sign from the sky so that their leaders would remain bowed before it.
26:5 وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ
26:5
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
And never does a new advice come to them from the Most Gracious, but they turn away from it.
26:6 فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنۢبَـٰٓؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ
26:6
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
Indeed they have denied, so now soon coming upon them are the tidings of what they used to scoff at.
26:7 أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍ
26:7
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
Have they not seen the earth, that how many honourable pairs We have created in it?
26:8 إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
26:8
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
Indeed in this is a sign; and most of them will not accept faith.
26:9 وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
26:9
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
And indeed your Lord – indeed only He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
26:10 وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئْتِ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
26:10

And (remember) when your Lord said to Moosa, “Go to the unjust people.”
26:11 قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ
26:11
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
“The nation of Firaun; will they not fear?”
26:12 قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ
26:12
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
He said, “My Lord, I fear that they will deny me.”
26:13 وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِى وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِى فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَـٰرُونَ
26:13
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
“I feel hesitant, and my tongue does not speak fast, therefore make Haroon also a Noble Messenger.”
26:14 وَلَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنۢبٌ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ
26:14
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
“And they have an accusation against me, so I fear that they may kill me.”
26:15 قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ فَٱذْهَبَا بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ ۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ

He said, “Not like this (any more); both of you go with Our signs, We are with you, All Hearing.”
26:16 فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
26:16

“Therefore approach Firaun then proclaim, ‘We both are Noble Messengers of the Lord Of The Creation.’
26:17 أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
26:17

‘That you let the Descendants of Israel go with us.’”
26:18 قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ
26:18
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
Said Firaun, “Did we do not raise you amongst us, as a child? And you spent many years of your life among us!”
26:19 وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِى فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ
26:19
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
“And you committed the deed of yours that you committed, and you were ungrateful.”
26:20 قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَآ إِذًا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ
26:20
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
Said Moosa, “I did that at a time when I was unaware of the consequences.” (In anger – See verse 28:15)
26:21 فَفَرَرْتُ مِنكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِى رَبِّى حُكْمًا وَجَعَلَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
26:21
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
“I therefore went away from you as I feared you – so my Lord commanded me and appointed me as one of the Noble Messengers.”
26:22 وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
26:22
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
“And is this some great reward for which you express favour upon me – that you have enslaved the Descendants of Israel?”
26:23 قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
26:23
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
Said Firaun, “And what is the Lord Of The Creation?
26:24 قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ
26:24
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
Said Moosa, “Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them; if you believe.”
26:25 قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ
26:25
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
Said Firaun to those around him, “Are you not listening with attention?”
26:26 قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
26:26
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
Said Moosa, “Your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers preceding you.”
26:27 قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌ
26:27
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
Said Firaun, “This (Noble) Messenger of yours, who has been sent towards you, has no intelligence!”
26:28 قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ
26:28
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
He said, “The Lord of the East and the West and all that is between them; if you have sense.”
26:29 قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذْتَ إِلَـٰهًا غَيْرِى لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَسْجُونِينَ
26:29
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
Said Firaun, “If you ascribe any one else as a God other than me, I will surely imprison you.”
26:30 قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَىْءٍ مُّبِينٍ
26:30
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
Said Moosa, “Even if I bring to you something clear?”
26:31 قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ
26:31
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
Said Firaun, “Then bring it, if you are of the truthful.”
26:32 فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِينٌ
26:32
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
So Moosa put down his staff and it became a visible serpent.
26:33 وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّـٰظِرِينَ
26:33
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
And he drew forth his hand, thereupon it shone bright before the beholders.
26:34 قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَسَـٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌ
26:34
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
Said Firaun to the court members around him, “He is indeed an expert magician.”
26:35 يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ
26:35
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
“He wishes to expel you out of your land by his magic; so what is your advice?”
26:36 قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبْعَثْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَـٰشِرِينَ
26:36
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
They said, “Stop him and his brother, and send gatherers to the cities.”
26:37 يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍ
26:37
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
“To bring to you every expert great magician.”
26:38 فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَـٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
26:38
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
So the magicians were gathered at a set time on a day appointed.
26:39 وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ
26:39
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
And it was said to the people, “Have you (also) gathered?”
26:40 لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ
26:40
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
The people said, “Perhaps we may follow the magicians if they are victorious.”
26:41 فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ
26:41
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
So when the magicians came, they said to Firaun, “Will we get some reward if we are victorious?”
26:42 قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ
26:42
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
He said, “Yes, and you will then become close to me.”
26:43 قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ
26:43
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
Moosa said to them, “Cast whatever you intend to cast.”
26:44 فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ
26:44
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
So they threw down their ropes and their staves and exclaimed, “By the honour of Firaun, indeed victory is ours!”
26:45 فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ
26:45
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
Therefore Moosa put forth his staff – so it immediately began swallowing all their fabrications.
26:46 فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَـٰجِدِينَ
26:46
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
The magicians therefore fell down prostrate.
26:47 قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
26:47
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
They said, “We have accepted faith in the Lord Of The Creation.”
26:48 رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ
26:48
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
“The Lord of Moosa and Haroon.”
26:49 قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَـٰفٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
26:49
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
Said Firaun, “You accepted faith in him before I permitted you! He is indeed your leader who taught you magic; so now you will come to know; I swear, I will certainly cut off your hands and your feet from alternate sides, and crucify all of you.”
26:50 قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ
26:50
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
They said, “No harm (in it), we will return to our Lord.”
26:51 إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَـٰيَـٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
26:51
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
“We hope that our Lord will forgive us our mistakes, as we are the first to believe.”
26:52 ۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ
26:52
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
And We sent the divine revelation to Moosa that, “Journey along with My bondmen within the night, for you will be pursued.”
26:53 فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَـٰشِرِينَ
26:53
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
So Firaun sent gatherers into the cities.
26:54 إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ
26:54
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
They announced “These people are a small group.”
26:55 وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ
26:55
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
“And indeed they have angered all of us.”
26:56 وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَـٰذِرُونَ
26:56
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
“And indeed we are an alert army.”
26:57 فَأَخْرَجْنَـٰهُم مِّن جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
26:57
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
We therefore got them out from the gardens and water springs.
26:58 وَكُنُوزٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ
26:58
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
And from treasures and nice houses.
26:59 كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَـٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
26:59
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
So it was; and We made the Descendants of Israel its inheritors.
26:60 فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ
26:60
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
So the Firaun’s people followed them at sunrise.
26:61 فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَـٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ
26:61
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
And when the two groups saw each other, those with Moosa said, “They have caught us.”
26:62 قَالَ كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ
26:62
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
Said Moosa, “Never! Indeed my Lord is with me, He will now show me the way.”
26:63 فَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْبَحْرَ ۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍ كَٱلطَّوْدِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
26:63
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
So We sent the divine revelation to Moosa that, “Strike the sea with your staff”; thereupon the sea parted; so each part was like a huge mountain.
26:64 وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ
26:64
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
And We brought the others close to that place.
26:65 وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ
26:65
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
And We saved Moosa and all those with him.
26:66 ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ
26:66
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
Then drowned the others.
26:67 إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
26:67
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
Indeed in this is surely a sign, and most of them were not Muslims.
26:68 وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
26:68
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
And indeed your Lord – only He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
26:69 وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ
26:69
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
And recite to them the news of Ibrahim.
26:70 إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ
26:70
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
When he said to his father and his people, “What do you worship?”
26:71 قَالُوا۟ نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَـٰكِفِينَ
26:71
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
They said, “We worship idols, and we keep squatting in seclusion before them.”
26:72 قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ
26:72
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
He said, “Do they hear you when you call?”
26:73 أَوْ يَنفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ
26:73
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
“Or do they benefit you or harm you?”
26:74 قَالُوا۟ بَلْ وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ
26:74
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
They said, “In fact we found our forefathers doing likewise.”
26:75 قَالَ أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ
26:75
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
He said, “Do you see these – (the idols) whom you worship?”
26:76 أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلْأَقْدَمُونَ
26:76
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
“You and your forefathers preceding you.”
26:77 فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّ لِّىٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
26:77
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :

26:80

26:81
Ahmed Raza Khan (English) :
“And He will give me death, then resurrect me.”
