Surah Ash-Shu'ara

Saheeh International

Ta, Seen, Meem.

Saheeh International

These are the verses of the clear Book.

Saheeh International

Perhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.

Saheeh International

If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.

Saheeh International

And no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.

Saheeh International

For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule.

Saheeh International

Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind.

Saheeh International

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Saheeh International

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Saheeh International

And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people.

Saheeh International

The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allah.

Saheeh International

He said, "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me.

Saheeh International

And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron.

Saheeh International

And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me.

Saheeh International

[Allah] said, "No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening.

Saheeh International

Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds.

Saheeh International

[Commanded to say], "Send with us the Children of Israel.

Saheeh International

[Pharaoh] said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life.

Saheeh International

And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful.

Saheeh International

[Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray.

Saheeh International

So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me wisdom and prophethood and appointed me [as one] of the messengers.

Saheeh International

And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel.

Saheeh International

Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds.

Saheeh International

[Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced.

Saheeh International

[Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear.

Saheeh International

[Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers.

Saheeh International

[Pharaoh] said, "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad.

Saheeh International

[Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason.

Saheeh International

[Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned.

Saheeh International

[Moses] said, "Even if I brought you proof manifest.

Saheeh International

[Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful.

Saheeh International

So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest.

Saheeh International

And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers.

Saheeh International

[Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician.

Saheeh International

He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise.

Saheeh International

They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers.

Saheeh International

Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician.

Saheeh International

So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day.

Saheeh International

And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate.

Saheeh International

That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant.

Saheeh International

And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant.

Saheeh International

He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me].

Saheeh International

Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw.

Saheeh International

So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant.

Saheeh International

Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified.

Saheeh International

So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah].

Saheeh International

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

Saheeh International

The Lord of Moses and Aaron.

Saheeh International

[Pharaoh] said, "You believed Moses before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all.

Saheeh International

They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return.

Saheeh International

Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers.

Saheeh International

And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued.

Saheeh International

Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers.

Saheeh International

[And said], "Indeed, those are but a small band.

Saheeh International

And indeed, they are enraging us.

Saheeh International

And indeed, we are a cautious society.

Saheeh International

So We removed them from gardens and springs.

Saheeh International

And treasures and honorable station.

Saheeh International

Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel.

Saheeh International

So they pursued them at sunrise.

Saheeh International

And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken.

Saheeh International

[Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me.

Saheeh International

Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain.

Saheeh International

And We advanced thereto the pursuers.

Saheeh International

And We saved Moses and those with him, all together.

Saheeh International

Then We drowned the others.

Saheeh International

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Saheeh International

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Saheeh International

And recite to them the news of Abraham.

Saheeh International

When he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship.

Saheeh International

They said, "We worship idols and remain to them devoted.

Saheeh International

He said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate.

Saheeh International

Or do they benefit you, or do they harm.

Saheeh International

They said, "But we found our fathers doing thus.

Saheeh International

He said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping.

Saheeh International

You and your ancient forefathers.

Saheeh International

Indeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds.

Saheeh International

Who created me, and He [it is who] guides me.

Saheeh International

And it is He who feeds me and gives me drink.

Saheeh International

And when I am ill, it is He who cures me.

Saheeh International

And who will cause me to die and then bring me to life.

Saheeh International

And who I aspire that He will forgive me my sin on the Day of Recompense.

Saheeh International

[And he said], "My Lord, grant me authority and join me with the righteous.

Saheeh International

And grant me a reputation of honor among later generations.

Saheeh International

And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Pleasure.

Saheeh International

And forgive my father. Indeed, he has been of those astray.

Saheeh International

And do not disgrace me on the Day they are [all] resurrected.

Saheeh International

The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children.

Saheeh International

But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart.

Saheeh International

And Paradise will be brought near [that Day] to the righteous.

Saheeh International

And Hellfire will be brought forth for the deviators.

Saheeh International

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

Saheeh International

Other than Allah? Can they help you or help themselves.

Saheeh International

So they will be overturned into Hellfire, they and the deviators.

Saheeh International

And the soldiers of Iblees, all together.

Saheeh International

They will say while they dispute therein.

Saheeh International

By Allah, we were indeed in manifest error.

Saheeh International

When we equated you with the Lord of the worlds.

Saheeh International

And no one misguided us except the criminals.

Saheeh International

So now we have no intercessors.

Saheeh International

And not a devoted friend.

Saheeh International

Then if we only had a return [to the world] and could be of the believers.

Saheeh International

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Saheeh International

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Saheeh International

The people of Noah denied the messengers.

Saheeh International

When their brother Noah said to them, "Will you not fear Allah.

Saheeh International

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

Saheeh International

So fear Allah and obey me.

Saheeh International

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

Saheeh International

So fear Allah and obey me.

Saheeh International

They said, "Should we believe you while you are followed by the lowest [class of people].

Saheeh International

He said, "And what is my knowledge of what they used to do.

Saheeh International

Their account is only upon my Lord, if you [could] perceive.

Saheeh International

And I am not one to drive away the believers.

Saheeh International

I am only a clear warner.

Saheeh International

They said, "If you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be of those who are stoned.

Saheeh International

He said, "My Lord, indeed my people have denied me.

Saheeh International

Then judge between me and them with decisive judgement and save me and those with me of the believers.

Saheeh International

So We saved him and those with him in the laden ship.

Saheeh International

Then We drowned thereafter the remaining ones.

Saheeh International

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Saheeh International

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Saheeh International

Aad denied the messengers.

Saheeh International

When their brother Hud said to them, "Will you not fear Allah.

Saheeh International

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

Saheeh International

So fear Allah and obey me.

Saheeh International

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

Saheeh International

Do you construct on every elevation a sign, amusing yourselves.

Saheeh International

And take for yourselves palaces and fortresses that you might abide eternally.

Saheeh International

And when you strike, you strike as tyrants.

Saheeh International

So fear Allah and obey me.

Saheeh International

And fear He who provided you with that which you know.

Saheeh International

Provided you with grazing livestock and children.

Saheeh International

And gardens and springs.

Saheeh International

Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day.

Saheeh International

They said, "It is all the same to us whether you advise or are not of the advisors.

Saheeh International

This is not but the custom of the former peoples.

Saheeh International

And we are not to be punished.

Saheeh International

And they denied him, so We destroyed them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Saheeh International

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Saheeh International

Thamud denied the messengers.

Saheeh International

When their brother Salih said to them, "Will you not fear Allah.

Saheeh International

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

Saheeh International

So fear Allah and obey me.

Saheeh International

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

Saheeh International

Will you be left in what is here, secure [from death].

Saheeh International

Within gardens and springs.

Saheeh International

And fields of crops and palm trees with softened fruit.

Saheeh International

And you carve out of the mountains, homes, with skill.

Saheeh International

So fear Allah and obey me.

Saheeh International

And do not obey the order of the transgressors.

Saheeh International

Who cause corruption in the land and do not amend.

Saheeh International

They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.

Saheeh International

You are but a man like ourselves, so bring a sign, if you should be of the truthful.

Saheeh International

He said, "This is a she-camel. For her is a [time of] drink, and for you is a [time of] drink, [each] on a known day.

Saheeh International

And do not touch her with harm, lest you be seized by the punishment of a terrible day.

Saheeh International

But they hamstrung her and so became regretful.

Saheeh International

And the punishment seized them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Saheeh International

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Saheeh International

The people of Lot denied the messengers.

Saheeh International

When their brother Lot said to them, "Will you not fear Allah.

Saheeh International

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

Saheeh International

So fear Allah and obey me.

Saheeh International

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

Saheeh International

Do you approach males among the worlds.

Saheeh International

And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing.

Saheeh International

They said, "If you do not desist, O Lot, you will surely be of those evicted.

Saheeh International

He said, "Indeed, I am, toward your deed, of those who detest [it].

Saheeh International

My Lord, save me and my family from [the consequence of] what they do.

Saheeh International

So We saved him and his family, all.

Saheeh International

Except an old woman among those who remained behind.

Saheeh International

Then We destroyed the others.

Saheeh International

And We rained upon them a rain [of stones], and evil was the rain of those who were warned.

Saheeh International

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Saheeh International

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Saheeh International

The companions of the thicket denied the messengers.

Saheeh International

When Shu'ayb said to them, "Will you not fear Allah.

Saheeh International

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

Saheeh International

So fear Allah and obey me.

Saheeh International

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

Saheeh International

Give full measure and do not be of those who cause loss.

Saheeh International

And weigh with an even balance.

Saheeh International

And do not deprive people of their due and do not commit abuse on earth, spreading corruption.

Saheeh International

And fear He who created you and the former creation.

Saheeh International

They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.

Saheeh International

You are but a man like ourselves, and indeed, we think you are among the liars.

Saheeh International

So cause to fall upon us fragments of the sky, if you should be of the truthful.

Saheeh International

He said, "My Lord is most knowing of what you do.

Saheeh International

And they denied him, so the punishment of the day of the black cloud seized them. Indeed, it was the punishment of a terrible day.

Saheeh International

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Saheeh International

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Saheeh International

And indeed, the Qur'an is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds.

Saheeh International

The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down.

Saheeh International

Upon your heart, [O Muhammad] - that you may be of the warners.

Saheeh International

In a clear Arabic language.

Saheeh International

And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples.

Saheeh International

And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel.

Saheeh International

And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners.

Saheeh International

And he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it.

Saheeh International

Thus have We inserted disbelief into the hearts of the criminals.

Saheeh International

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

Saheeh International

And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not.

Saheeh International

And they will say, "May we be reprieved.

Saheeh International

So for Our punishment are they impatient.

Saheeh International

Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years.

Saheeh International

And then there came to them that which they were promised.

Saheeh International

They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.

Saheeh International

And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners.

Saheeh International

As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.

Saheeh International

And the devils have not brought the revelation down.

Saheeh International

It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able.

Saheeh International

Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed.

Saheeh International

So do not invoke with Allah another deity and [thus] be among the punished.

Saheeh International

And warn, [O Muhammad], your closest kindred.

Saheeh International

And lower your wing to those who follow you of the believers.

Saheeh International

And if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing.

Saheeh International

And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Saheeh International

Who sees you when you arise.

Saheeh International

And your movement among those who prostrate.

Saheeh International

Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

Saheeh International

Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend.

Saheeh International

They descend upon every sinful liar.

Saheeh International

They pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars.

Saheeh International

And the poets - [only] the deviators follow them.

Saheeh International

Do you not see that in every valley they roam.

Saheeh International

And that they say what they do not do.

Saheeh International

Except those [poets] who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allah often and defend [the Muslims] after they were wronged. And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned.
