26.0 In The Name Of YHWH: The Almighty, The Merciful.
26:1 ṭā sīn mīm
26:2 These are the verses of a Clear Decree.
26:3 O messenger thou who consumes thyself in grief that they are not believers.
26:4 If We will We can send down a Proof upon them from the sky that will make their necks bend in humility!
26:5 But since they are disinclined to Our Prior Proofs
no new ones will come to them from The Almighty.
26:6 They have rejected.
So the Terrifying Reality of what they have rejected will be their only Proof!
26:7 Have they not considered the Earth
how much We have caused every sort of perfect pair to grow therein?
26:8 In that is Evidence
but most of them are not believers.
26:9 Yet thy Lord He Is The Almighty, The Merciful.
26:10 And when thy Lord Called to Moses Saying:
Go thou to Warn the wrongdoing people.
26:11 Yea ask the people of pharaoh:
Will you not be in Wise Fear?
26:12 He said: My Lord I fear that they will reject me
26:13 and my chest will be heavy
and my tongue tied
so Send Thou for Aaron.
26:14 For they charge a transgression against me
and I fear they will kill me. For killing an Egyptian DII.
26:15 He Said: By no means! Go with Our Proofs
for We Are Always With you and Watching Over.
26:16 Go to pharaoh and say:
We are Messengers Of The Lord of the Worlds.
26:17 So send thou the children of Israel with us.
26:18 Said he: Did we not bring thee up among us as a child?
Has thou not lingered among us the years of thy life?
26:19 And thou did thy deed which thou did
and now thou are an ingrate?
26:20 He said: Yea I did it when I was of those who stray.
26:21 And I fled from you when I feared you
then The Lord of the Worlds Gave me Judgement and Appointed me among His Messengers.
26:22 And that past instance thou reproaches me for gives thou no right to enslave the children of Israel.
26:23 Said pharaoh: And what is The Lord of the Worlds?
26:24 He said: He Is The Lord of the Heavens and the Earth and Everything in them
and of that you can be certain.
26:25 Said he to those around him: Did you hear that?
26:26 Moses said: He Is your Lord
and The Lord of your fathers.
26:27 Said pharaoh: Your messenger is possessed!
26:28 Moses said: He Is The Lord of the rising and the setting and what is between them
if you use reason.
26:29 Said pharaoh: If thou take a god other than me I will throw thee into prison.
26:30 Moses said: Even if I were to bring thee Clear Proof?
26:31 Said pharaoh: Then bring it if thou be of those who speak the Truth.
26:32 So Moses cast his staff to the ground
and it became a large serpent.
26:33 Then he drew forth his hand
and it was glowing white for all to see.
26:34 Said pharaoh to the eminent ones around him: This is a learned sorcerer!
26:35 He wants to turn you out of your land by his sorcery
so what do you suggest be done?
26:36 They said: Delay him and his brother and raise up gatherers in the towns
26:37 who shall bring every learned sorcerer to thee.
26:38 And the sorcerers were assembled at the appointed time on the appointed day.
26:39 And it was said to the people: Will you assemble
26:40 so we might follow the sorcerers if they be the victors?
26:41 And when the sorcerers came they said to pharaoh:
Will there be a reward for us if we be the victors?
26:42 He said: Yea and you will be of those brought near me.
26:43 Moses said to them: Cast what you cast.
26:44 So they cast their ropes and their staves saying:
By the greatness of pharaoh we are the victors!
26:45 Then Moses cast his staff
and it swallowed up what they had cast.
26:46 Then the sorcerers fell in submission saying:
26:47 We believe in The Lord of the Worlds
26:48 The Lord of Moses and Aaron!
26:49 Said pharaoh: You believe before I gave you permission?
Do you not know he is but a master of sorcery?
For this you will see
that I will cut off your hands and your feet
and put you to death by the stake one and all.
26:50 They said: In that there is no real harm
for to our Lord we are returning.
26:51 We hope our Lord Will Forgive us our errors since we were the first of the believers among us.
26:52 And We instructed Moses: Travel thou by night with Our servants
knowing you will be followed.
26:53 And pharaoh sent ones who summon into the towns.
26:54 They said: These are but a small band
26:55 who do provoke us
26:56 and we are a well prepared multitude.
26:57 But We drove them out of their gardens and springs
26:58 and treasures of a generous station.
26:59 Thus We would make them as inheritance to the children of Israel.
26:60 So they followed them at sunrise.
26:61 And when the two hosts saw each other the companions of Moses said:
We are overtaken.
26:62 He said: By no means! My Lord Is With me
and He Will Guide me.
26:63 And We instructed Moses: Strike thou the sea with thy staff
and it parted
each side like a mountain cliff towering high.
26:64 And We brought the others near
26:65 while We had rescued Moses and those with him altogether.
26:66 Then We drowned the others.
26:67 And in that is a Proof
but most of them were not believers.
26:68 Yet thy Lord He Is The Almighty, The Merciful.
26:69 And recite to them the report of Abraham
26:70 when he said to his father and his people: What do you serve?
26:71 They said: We worship our idols and remain devoted to them.
26:72 He said: Can they hear you when you call
26:73 or benefit or harm you?
26:74 They said: Nay. But we found our fathers doing thus.
26:75 He said: Have you really considered what you have been serving
26:76 you and your forefathers?
26:77 They are thy enemies and not The Lord of the Worlds!
26:78 He Who Created me
He Who Guides me
26:79 He Who Feeds me
He Who Gives me drink
26:80 and when I am sick
He Heals me.
26:81 Yea He Who Will Give me Death
Then Will Give me Life
26:82 and Who I hope Will Forgive me my errors on the Day of Judgement.
26:83 O My Lord Give me Critical Judgement
and Make me one counted with the Righteous.
26:84 And Assign me a fair name of honorable repute with the later ones.
26:85 And Make me an inheritor of the Garden of Bliss.
26:86 And Forgive my uncle
for he is of those who go astray.
26:87 And do not cover me in shame the Day they are raised
26:88 the Day wealth and children avail not
26:89 only ones who bring a sound heart to God.
26:90 The Garden will be brought to those of Wise Fear
26:91 and Hell will be exposed to the misguided
26:92 when it is asked of them: Where is what you served
26:93 besides God?
Can they help you
or themselves now?
26:94 Then they are hurled Therein
they and the misguided
26:95 and the minion of lucifer one and all.
26:96 They will say disputing therein:
26:97 By God we were in obvious error
26:98 when we made equals with You The Lord of the Worlds
26:99 and the evildoers so easily led us astray
26:100 and now we have no intercessors
26:101 nor anyone sincere as intimate friends.
26:102 If only we were to return
we would be among the believers!
26:103 Indeed in the story of Abraham are many Signs
yet most are not believers.
26:104 Still thy Lord He Is The Almighty, The Merciful.
26:105 The people of Noah denied those sent before and
26:106 when their brother Noah said to them:
Will you not be in Wise Fear?
26:107 I am a trustworthy messenger to you
26:108 so be in Wise Fear of God
and obey me.
26:109 I ask you for no reward from this
my Reward is only upon The Lord of the Worlds.
26:110 So be in Wise Fear of God
and obey me.
26:111 They said: Are we to believe thee when the poor and oppressed are whom follow thee?
26:112 He said: And what knowledge have I of their places?
26:113 Their Reckoning is only upon my Lord
if you were aware.
26:114 And I am not one to repel believers!
26:115 I am only a Clear Warner.
26:116 They said: If thou cease not O Noah thou will be stoned.
26:117 He said: My Lord my people have rejected me.
26:118 So Be Thou The Judge between me and them
then Deliver me and the believers with me.
26:119 And We delivered him and those with him in the laden ship.
26:120 Then We drowned all others on Earth. But not the jinn in or above!
26:121 In that are Proofs
but most are not believers.
26:122 Yet Remains thy Lord The Almighty, The Merciful.
26:123 Ad denied those We sent before
26:124 and when their brother Hud said to them: Will you not be in Wise Fear?
26:125 I am a trustworthy messenger to you.
26:126 So be in Wise Fear of God
and obey me.
26:127 And I ask no reward from you for this
my Reward is only upon The Lord of the Worlds.
26:128 You build monuments up high to amuse yourselves
26:129 and make your strongholds out of stone.
26:130 And when you lay hold you lay hold as godless tyrants.
26:131 So be in Wise Fear of God
and obey me.
26:132 Be in Wise Fear of Him Who Aided you with All you have.
26:133 Yea He Aided you with livestock and sons
26:134 and gardens and springs
26:135 and I fear for you the Punishment on an Onerous Day.
26:136 They said: It is the same to us if thou warn us or not
26:137 for yours is only a tradition of the former peoples
26:138 and we will not be punished by anyone.
26:139 Hence they rejected him
so We destroyed them.
In that are Clear Proofs
but most are not believers.
26:140 And thy Lord He Is The Almighty, The Merciful.
26:141 Thamud denied those We sent before
26:142 when their brother Salih said to them:
Will you not be in Wise Fear?
26:143 I am a trustworthy messenger to you
26:144 so be in Wise Fear of God
and obey me.
26:145 And I ask for no reward from you
my Reward is only upon The Lord of the Worlds.
26:146 Think you will be left secure in what is here
26:147 among gardens and springs
26:148 and tilled fields
and date palms with slender spathes
26:149 and hewed out dwellings from the mountains of stone?
26:150 Nay. Be in Wise Fear of God
and obey me.
26:151 Do not obey the committers of excess
26:152 those who spread corruption in the Earth
and do not make things Right.
26:153 They said: Thou are but one beguiled.
26:154 Thou are only a mortal like us
so bring Proof if thou be of those who speak the Truth.
26:155 He said: This is a docile she camel
and she has a right to drink
and you will have a right to drink
on a Day Appointed.
26:156 So do not touch her with hate
for then the Punishment will take you on an Onerous Day.
26:157 But they brutally hamstrung her
and the next day they became the remorseful
26:158 then 2 days later the scourge of death took them.
In that is Proof
but most are not believers.
26:159 And thy Lord He Is The Almighty, The Merciful.
26:160 The people of Lot denied those We sent before.
26:161 When their brother Lot said to them:
Will you not be in Wise Fear?
26:162 I am a trustworthy messenger to you
26:163 So be in Wise Fear of God
and obey me.
26:164 And I ask for no reward from you
for my Reward is only upon The Lord of the Worlds.
26:165 Lo of all available you seek males?
26:166 While leaving what your Lord Created for you among females?
The Truth is you are a sick transgressing people.
26:167 They said: If thou cease not O Lot thou will be of those turned out.
26:168 He said: I am of those who abhor your deeds.
26:169 My Lord Deliver Thou me and my household From what they do.
26:170 And We delivered him and his household
26:171 except his betraying wife who We left behind
26:172 then We annihilated them all.
26:173 We rained upon them a hellish rain of molten stones
yea hard is the rain for those who have been warned.
26:174 In that is a Proof
but most of them are not believers.
26:175 And thy Lord He Is The Almighty, The Merciful.
26:176 And the companions of the woods denied those We sent before
26:177 when Jethro said to them:
Will you not be in Wise Fear?
26:178 I am a trustworthy messenger to you
26:179 so be in Wise Fear of God
and obey me.
26:180 And I ask for no reward from you
for my Reward is only upon The Lord of the Worlds.
26:181 Yea fulfill the measure and do not be frauds who cause loss to others.
26:182 And weigh with the straight scale.
26:183 Deprive not others of their things
nor do mischief in the Earth working corruption.
26:184 And be in Wise Fear of Him Who Created you
and the great company of former peoples.
26:185 They said: Thou are just one beguiled.
26:186 Thou are only a mortal like us
so we consider thee a liar.
26:187 Cause thou pieces of the sky to fall upon us if thou be of those who speak the Truth.
26:188 He said: My Lord Knows Best Everything you do.
26:189 But they rejected him.
So a fatal scourge took them on a day covered in darkness.
Truly it was a horrific scourge of deadly surprise!
26:190 In that is Proof
but most are not believers.
26:191 And thy Lord He Is The Almighty, The Merciful.
26:192 And this Quran is a Successive Revelation telepathically delivered to Mohamet from The Lord of the Worlds
26:193 brought down by Gabriel the faithful spirit
26:194 upon thy heart
that thou be among the Warners
26:195 in clear Arabic speech.
26:196 And like it is in scrolls of former peoples.
26:197 Is it not enough for them that the learned of the children of Israel know it?
26:198 And had We sent it down upon a foreigner
26:199 and then he had recited it to them
they still would not have believed in it.
26:200 Thus have We stayed the hearts of the evildoers.
26:201 Hence they will not believe in it until they see the Painful Punishment bearing down.
26:202 And it will come upon them unexpectedly when they are not ready.
26:203 And then they will say: May we be granted respite?
26:204 But did these not seek to hasten Our Punishment?
26:205 Has thou considered when We give them enjoyment for their years
26:206 then What they were Promised comes to them!
26:207 And how does what they enjoyed benefit them now? Memories of ease only serve as sources of comparative agony in Hell.
26:208 And We destroyed no city unless it had Warners
26:209 as a reminder
so We were not wrongdoers.
26:210 And the degenerate inhuman imposters did not hear it
26:211 for it does not suit their ends
and they are not able to grasp it.
26:212 Yea they are cursed from birth excluded from hearing.
26:213 So call thou not to God with another god lest thou be of those punished.
26:214 And warn thy folk.
26:215 And lower thy wing over those who follow thee among the believers.
26:216 And if they oppose thee say: I am free of the wrongs you do.
26:217 And place thy trust in The Almighty, The Merciful.
26:218 He Who Sees thee when thou rises
26:219 and when thou goes to and fro with those who submit.
26:220 He Is The All Hearing, All Knowing.
26:221 Shall I inform you of whom it is that degenerate inhuman imposters are sent to accompany?
26:222 They come forth for every sinful one who gives ear
26:223 and most of them are liars.
26:224 Yea the poets and the misguided are who follow them.
26:225 Has thou not considered how they wander without purpose in every valley
26:226 and that they promise to do what they do not?
26:227 Not like those who believe and do Righteous deeds
and remember God much
and help each other after they have been wronged.
Those who did the wrongs will come to know the realities of Where they are returning.
