Ṭâ-Sĩn-Mĩm.

2

These are the verses of the clear Book.

3

Perhaps you ˹O Prophet˺ will grieve yourself to death over their disbelief.

4

If We willed, We could send down upon them a ˹compelling˺ sign from the heavens, leaving their necks bent in ˹utter˺ submission to it.

5

Whatever new reminder comes to them from the Most Compassionate, they always turn away from it.

6

They have certainly denied ˹the truth˺, so they will soon face the consequences of their ridicule.

7

Have they failed to look at the earth, ˹to see˺ how many types of fine plants We have caused to grow in it?

8

Surely in this is a sign. Yet most of them would not believe.

9

And your Lord is certainly the Almighty, Most Merciful.

10

˹Remember˺ when your Lord called out to Moses, "Go to the wrongdoing people—

11

the people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear ˹Allah˺?"

12

He replied, "My Lord! I fear that they will reject me.

13

And ˹so˺ my heart will be broken and my tongue will be tied. So send Aaron along ˹as a messenger˺.

14

Also, they have a charge against me,[1] so I fear they may kill me."

15

Allah responded, "Certainly not! So go, both of you, with Our signs. We will be with you, listening.

16

Go to Pharaoh and say, ‘We are messengers from the Lord of all worlds,

17

˹commanded to say:˺ ‘Let the Children of Israel go with us.’’"

18

Pharaoh protested, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you stayed several years of your life in our care?

19

Then you did what you did,[1] being ˹utterly˺ ungrateful!"

20

Moses replied, "I did it then, lacking guidance.

21

So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me wisdom and made me one of the messengers.

22

How can that be a ‘favour,’ of which you remind me, when ˹it was only because˺ you ˹have˺ enslaved the Children of Israel?"

23

Pharaoh asked, "And what is ‘the Lord of all worlds’?"

24

Moses replied, "˹He is˺ the Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything in between, if only you had sure faith."

25

Pharaoh said to those around him, "Did you hear ˹what he said˺?"

26

Moses added, "˹He is˺ your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers."

27

Pharaoh said ˹mockingly˺, "Your messenger, who has been sent to you, must be insane."

28

Moses responded: "˹He is˺ the Lord of the east and west, and everything in between, if only you had any sense."

29

Pharaoh threatened, "If you take any other god besides me, I will certainly have you imprisoned."

30

Moses responded, "Even if I bring you a clear proof?"

31

Pharaoh demanded, "Bring it then, if what you say is true."

32

So he threw down his staff and—behold!—it became a real snake.

33

Then he drew his hand ˹out of his collar˺ and it was ˹shining˺ white for all to see.

34

Pharaoh said to the chiefs around him, "He is indeed a skilled magician,

35

who seeks to drive you from your land by his magic. So what do you propose?"

36

They replied, "Let him and his brother wait and dispatch mobilizers to all cities

37

to bring you every skilled magician."

38

So the magicians were assembled at the set time on the appointed day.

39

And the people were asked, "Will you join the gathering,

40

so that we may follow the magicians if they prevail?"

41

When the magicians came, they asked Pharaoh, "Shall we have a ˹suitable˺ reward if we prevail?"

42

He replied, "Yes, and you will then certainly be among those closest to me."

43

Moses said to them, "Cast whatever you wish to cast."

44

So they cast down their ropes and staffs, saying, "By Pharaoh’s might, it is we who will surely prevail."

45

Then Moses threw down his staff, and—behold!—it devoured the objects of their illusion!

46

So the magicians fell down, prostrating.

47

They declared, "We ˹now˺ believe in the Lord of all worlds—

48

the Lord of Moses and Aaron."

49

Pharaoh threatened, "How dare you believe in him before I give you permission? He must be your master who taught you magic, but soon you will see. I will certainly cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, then crucify you all."

50

They responded, "˹That would be˺ no harm! Surely to our Lord we will ˹all˺ return.

51

We really hope that our Lord will forgive our sins, as we are the first to believe."

52

And We inspired Moses, ˹saying,˺ "Leave with My servants at night, for you will surely be pursued."

53

Then Pharaoh sent mobilizers to all cities,

54

˹and said,˺ "These ˹outcasts˺ are just a handful of people,

55

who have really enraged us,

56

but we are all on the alert."

57

So We lured the tyrants[1] out of ˹their˺ gardens, springs,

58

treasures, and splendid residences.

59

So it was. And We awarded it ˹all˺ to the Children of Israel.

60

And so they pursued them at sunrise.

61

When the two groups came face to face, the companions of Moses cried out, "We are overtaken for sure."

62

Moses reassured ˹them˺, "Absolutely not! My Lord is certainly with me—He will guide me."

63

So We inspired Moses: "Strike the sea with your staff," and the sea was split, each part was like a huge mountain.

64

We drew the pursuers to that place,

65

and delivered Moses and those with him all together.

66

Then We drowned the others.

67

Surely in this is a sign. Yet most of them would not believe.

68

And your Lord is certainly the Almighty, Most Merciful.

69

Relate to them ˹O Prophet˺ the story of Abraham,

70

when he questioned his father and his people, "What is that you worship ˹besides Allah˺?"

71

They replied, "We worship idols, to which we are fully devoted."

72

Abraham asked, "Can they hear you when you call upon them?

73

Or can they benefit or harm you?"

74

They replied, "No! But we found our forefathers doing the same."

75

Abraham responded, "Have you ˹really˺ considered what you have been worshipping—

76

you and your ancestors?

77

They are ˹all˺ enemies to me, except the Lord of all worlds.

78

˹He is˺ the One Who created me, and He ˹alone˺ guides me.

79

˹He is˺ the One Who provides me with food and drink.

80

And He ˹alone˺ heals me when I am sick.

81

And He ˹is the One Who˺ will cause me to die, and then bring me back to life.

82

And He is ˹the One˺ Who, I hope, will forgive my flaws[1] on Judgment Day."

83

"My Lord! Grant me wisdom, and join me with the righteous.

84

Bless me with honourable mention among later generations.[1]

85

Make me one of those awarded the Garden of Bliss.

86

Forgive my father, for he is certainly one of the misguided.

87

And do not disgrace me on the Day all will be resurrected—

88

the Day when neither wealth nor children will be of any benefit.

89

Only those who come before Allah with a pure heart ˹will be saved˺."[1]

90

˹On that Day˺ Paradise will be brought near to the God-fearing,

91

and the Hellfire will be displayed to the deviant.

92

And it will be said to them, "Where are those you used to worship

93

besides Allah? Can they help you or even help themselves?"

94

Then the idols will be hurled headlong into Hell, along with the deviant

95

and the soldiers of Iblîs,[1] all together.

96

There the deviant will cry while disputing with their idols,

97

"By Allah! We were clearly mistaken,

98

when we made you equal to the Lord of all worlds.

99

And none led us astray other than the wicked.

100

Now we have none to intercede for us,

101

nor a close friend.

102

If only we could have a second chance, then we would be believers."

103

Surely in this is a sign. Yet most of them would not believe.

104

And your Lord is certainly the Almighty, Most Merciful.

105

The people of Noah rejected the messengers[1]

106

when their brother Noah said to them, "Will you not fear ˹Allah˺?

107

I am truly a trustworthy messenger to you.

108

So fear Allah, and obey me.

109

I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from the Lord of all worlds.

110

So fear Allah, and obey me."

111

They argued, "How can we believe in you, when you are followed ˹only˺ by the lowest of the low?"[1]

112

He responded, "And what knowledge do I have of what they do?

113

Their judgment is with my Lord, if you had any sense!

114

I am not going to expel the believers.

115

I am only sent with a clear warning."

116

They threatened, "If you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be stoned ˹to death˺."

117

Noah prayed, "My Lord! My people have truly rejected me.

118

So judge between me and them decisively, and save me and the believers with me."

119

So We saved him and those with him in the fully loaded Ark.

120

Then afterwards We drowned the rest.

121

Surely in this is a sign. Yet most of them would not believe.

122

And your Lord is certainly the Almighty, Most Merciful.

123

The people of ’Âd rejected the messengers

124

when their brother Hûd said to them, "Will you not fear ˹Allah˺?

125

I am truly a trustworthy messenger to you.

126

So fear Allah, and obey me.

127

I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from the Lord of all worlds.

128

˹Why˺ do you build a landmark on every high place in vanity,

129

and construct castles, as if you are going to live forever,

130

and act so viciously when you attack ˹others˺?

131

So fear Allah, and obey me.

132

Fear the One Who has provided you with ˹the good˺ things you know:

133

He provided you with cattle, and children,

134

and gardens, and springs.

135

I truly fear for you the torment of a tremendous day."

136

They responded, "It is all the same to us whether you warn ˹us˺ or not.

137

This is simply the tradition of our predecessors.

138

And we will never be punished."

139

So they rejected him, and ˹so˺ We destroyed them. Surely in this is a sign. Yet most of them would not believe.

140

And your Lord is certainly the Almighty, Most Merciful.

141

The people of Thamûd rejected the messengers

142

when their brother Ṣâliḥ said to them, "Will you not fear ˹Allah˺?

143

I am truly a trustworthy messenger to you.

144

So fear Allah, and obey me.

145

I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from the Lord of all worlds.

146

Do you think you will be ˹forever˺ left secure in what you have here:

147

amid gardens and springs,

148

and ˹various˺ crops, and palm trees ˹loaded˺ with tender fruit;

149

to carve homes in the mountains with great skill?

150

So fear Allah, and obey me.

151

And do not follow the command of the transgressors,

152

who spread corruption throughout the land, never setting things right."

153

They replied, "You are simply bewitched!

154

You are only a human being like us, so bring forth a sign if what you say is true."

155

Ṣâliḥ said, "Here is a camel. She will have her turn to drink as you have yours, each on an appointed day.

156

And do not ever touch her with harm, or you will be overtaken by the torment of a tremendous day."

157

But they killed her, becoming regretful.

158

So the punishment overtook them. Surely in this is a sign. Yet most of them would not believe.

159

And your Lord is certainly the Almighty, Most Merciful.

160

The people of Lot rejected the messengers

161

when their brother Lot said to them, "Will you not fear ˹Allah˺?

162

I am truly a trustworthy messenger to you.

163

So fear Allah, and obey me.

164

I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from the Lord of all worlds.

165

Why do you ˹men˺ lust after fellow men,[1]

166

leaving the wives that your Lord has created for you? In fact, you are a transgressing people."

167

They threatened, "If you do not desist, O Lot, you will surely be expelled."

168

Lot responded, "I am truly one of those who despise your ˹shameful˺ practice.

169

My Lord! Save me and my family from ˹the consequences of˺ what they do."

170

So We saved him and all of his family,

171

except an old woman,[1] who was one of the doomed.

172

Then We utterly destroyed the rest,

173

pouring upon them a rain ˹of brimstone˺. How evil was the rain of those who had been warned!

174

Surely in this is a sign. Yet most of them would not believe.

175

And your Lord is certainly the Almighty, Most Merciful.

176

The residents of the Forest rejected the messengers

177

when Shu’aib said to them,[1] "Will you not fear ˹Allah˺?

178

I am truly a trustworthy messenger to you.

179

So fear Allah, and obey me.

180

I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from the Lord of all worlds.

181

Give full measure, and cause no loss ˹to others˺.

182

Weigh with an even balance,

183

and do not defraud people of their property. Nor go about spreading corruption in the land.

184

And fear the One Who created you and ˹all˺ earlier peoples."

185

They replied, "You are simply bewitched!

186

Also, you are only a human being like us, and we think you are indeed a liar.

187

So cause ˹deadly˺ pieces of the sky to fall upon us, if what you say is true."

188

Shu’aib responded, "My Lord knows best whatever you do."

189

So they rejected him, and ˹so˺ were overtaken by the torment of the day of the ˹deadly˺ cloud.[1] That was really a torment of a tremendous day.

190

Surely in this is a sign. Yet most of them would not believe.

191

And your Lord is certainly the Almighty, Most Merciful.

192

This is certainly a revelation from the Lord of all worlds,

193

which the trustworthy spirit ˹Gabriel˺ brought down

194

into your heart ˹O Prophet˺—so that you may be one of the warners—

195

in a clear Arabic tongue.

196

And it has indeed been ˹foretold˺ in the Scriptures of those before.

197

Was it not sufficient proof for the deniers that it has been recognized by the knowledgeable among the Children of Israel?[1]

198

Had We revealed it to a non-Arab,

199

who would then recite it to the deniers ˹in fluent Arabic˺, still they would not have believed in it!

200

This is how We allow denial ˹to steep˺ into the hearts of the wicked.

201

They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment,

202

which will take them by surprise when they least expect ˹it˺.

203

Then they will cry, "Can we be allowed more time?"

204

Do they ˹really˺ seek to hasten Our torment?

205

Imagine ˹O Prophet˺ if We allowed them enjoyment for years,

206

then there came to them what they had been threatened with:

207

would that enjoyment be of any benefit to them ˹at all˺?

208

We have never destroyed a society without warners

209

to remind ˹them˺, for We would never wrong ˹anyone˺.

210

It was not the devils who brought this ˹Quran˺ down:

211

it is not for them ˹to do so˺, nor can they,

212

for they are strictly barred from ˹even˺ overhearing ˹it˺.[1]

213

So do not ever call upon any other god besides Allah, or you will be one of the punished.

214

And warn ˹all, starting with˺ your closest relatives,

215

and be gracious to the believers who follow you.

216

But if they disobey you, say, "I am certainly free of what you do."

217

Put your trust in the Almighty, Most Merciful,

218

Who sees you when you rise ˹for prayer at night˺,

219

as well as your movements ˹in prayer˺ along with ˹fellow˺ worshippers.

220

He ˹alone˺ is indeed the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

221

Shall I inform you of whom the devils ˹actually˺ descend upon?

222

They descend upon every sinful liar,

223

who gives an ˹attentive˺ ear ˹to half-truths˺, mostly passing on sheer lies.[1]

224

As for poets, they are followed ˹merely˺ by deviants.

225

Do you not see how they rant in every field,[1]

226

only saying what they never do?

227

Except those who believe, do good, remember Allah often, and ˹poetically˺ avenge ˹the believers˺ after being wrongfully slandered. The wrongdoers will come to know what ˹evil˺ end they will meet.
