The Poets

1 Ta-Sin-Mim. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings.]
2 These are the Verses of the manifest Book [(this Qur'an), which was promised by Allah in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), makes things clear].
3 It may be that you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) are going to kill yourself with grief, that they do not become believers [in your Risalah (Messengership) i.e. in your Message of Islamic Monotheism].
4 If We will, We could send down to them from the heaven a sign, to which they would bend their necks in humility.
5 And never comes there unto them a Reminder as a recent revelation from the Most Gracious (Allah), but they turn away therefrom.
6 So they have indeed denied (the truth - this Qur'an), then the news of what they mocked at will come to them.
7 Do they not observe the earth - how much of every good kind We cause to grow therein?
8 Verily, in this is an Ayah (proof or sign), yet most of them (polytheists, pagans who do not believe in Resurrection) are not believers.
9 And verily your Lord, He is truly the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
10 And (remember) when your Lord called Musa (Moses) (saying): "Go to the people who are Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) -
11 "The people of Fir'aun (Pharaoh): Will they not fear Allah and become righteous?"
12 He said: "My Lord! Verily, I fear that they will belie me,
13 "And my breast straitens, and my tongue expresses not well. So send for Harun (Aaron) (to come along with me).
14 "And they have a charge of crime against me, and I fear they will kill me."
15 (Allah) said: "Nay! Go you both with Our Signs. Verily We shall be with you, listening.
16 "And go both of you to Fir'aun (Pharaoh), and say: 'We are the Messengers of the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists),
17 "So allow the Children of Israel to go with us.' "
18 [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said [to Musa (Moses)]: "Did we not bring you up among us as a child? And you did dwell many years of your life with us.
19 "And you did your deed, which you did (i.e. the crime of killing a man) while you were one of the ingrates."
20 Musa (Moses) said: "I did it then, when I was ignorant (as regards my Lord and His Message).
21 "So I fled from you when I feared you. But my Lord has granted me Hukm (i.e. religious knowledge, right judgement of the affairs and Prophethood), and made me one of the Messengers.
22 "And this is the past favour with which you reproach me: that you have enslaved the Children of Israel."
23 Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said: "And what is the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)?"
24 [Musa (Moses)] said: "The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, if you seek to be convinced with certainty."
25 [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said to those around: "Do you not hear (what he says)?"
26 [Musa (Moses)] said: "Your Lord and the Lord of your ancient fathers!"
27 [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "Verily, your Messenger who has been sent to you is a madman!"
28 [Musa (Moses)] said: "Lord of the east and the west, and all that is between them, if you did but understand!"
29 [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "If you choose an ilah (god) other than me, I will certainly put you among the prisoners."
30 [Musa (Moses)] said: "Even if I bring you something manifest (and convincing)?"
31 [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "Bring it forth then, if you are of the truthful!"
32 So [Musa (Moses)] threw his stick, and behold, it was a serpent, manifest.
33 And he drew out his hand, and behold, it was white to all beholders!
34 [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said to the chiefs around him: "Verily! This is indeed a well-versed sorcerer.
35 "He wants to drive you out of your land by his sorcery: what is it then that you command?"
36 They said: "Put him off and his brother (for a while), and send callers to the cities;
37 "To bring up to you every well-versed sorcerer."
38 So the sorcerers were assembled at a fixed time on a day appointed.
39 And it was said to the people: "Are you (too) going to assemble?
40 "That we may follow the sorcerers [who were on Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) religion of disbelief] if they are the winners."
41 So when the sorcerers arrived, they said to Fir'aun (Pharaoh): "Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners?"
42 He said: "Yes, and you shall then verily be of those brought near (to myself)."
43 Musa (Moses) said to them: "Throw what you are going to throw!"
44 So they threw their ropes and their sticks, and said: "By the might of Fir'aun (Pharaoh), it is we who will certainly win!"
45 Then Musa (Moses) threw his stick, and behold, it swallowed up all that they falsely showed!
46 And the sorcerers fell down prostrate.
47 Saying: "We believe in the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
48 "The Lord of Musa (Moses) and Harun (Aaron)."
49 [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "You have believed in him before I give you leave. Surely, he indeed is your chief, who has taught you magic! So verily, you shall come to know. Verily, I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you all."
50 They said: "No harm! Surely, to our Lord (Allah) we are to return.
51 "Verily we really hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins, as we are the first of the believers [in Musa (Moses) and in the Monotheism which he has brought from Allah]."
52 And We revealed to Musa (Moses), saying: "Depart by night with My slaves, verily you will be pursued."
53 Then Fir'aun (Pharaoh) sent callers to (all) the cities.
54 (Saying): "Verily these indeed are but a small band.
55 "And verily, they have done what has enraged us.
56 "But we are a host all assembled, amply fore-warned."
57 So, We expelled them from gardens and springs,
58 Treasures, and every kind of honourable place.
59 Thus [We turned them (Pharaoh's people) out] and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them.
60 So they pursued them at sunrise.
61 And when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Musa (Moses) said: "We are sure to be overtaken."
62 [Musa (Moses)] said: "Nay, verily with me is my Lord. He will guide me."
63 Then We revealed to Musa (Moses) (saying): "Strike the sea with your stick." And it parted, and each separate part (of that sea water) became like huge mountain.
64 Then We brought near the others [Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) party] to that place.
65 And We saved Musa (Moses) and all those with him.
66 Then We drowned the others.
67 Verily in this is indeed a sign (or a proof), yet most of them are not believers.
68 And verily your Lord, He is truly the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
69 And recite to them the story of Ibrahim (Abraham).
70 When he said to his father and his people: "What do you worship?"
71 They said: "We worship idols, and to them we are ever devoted."
72 He said: "Do they hear you, when you call on (them)?
73 "Or do they benefit you or do they harm (you)?"
74 They said: "(Nay) but we found our fathers doing so."
75 He said: "Do you observe that which you have been worshipping -
76 "You and your ancient fathers?
77 "Verily they are enemies to me, save the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists),
78 "Who has created me, and it is He Who guides me.
79 "And it is He Who feeds me and gives me to drink.
80 "And when I am ill, it is He who cures me.
81 "And Who will cause me to die, and then will bring me to life (again).
82 "And Who, I hope, will forgive me my faults on the Day of Recompense, (the Day of Resurrection).
83 My Lord! Bestow Hukm (religious knowledge, right judgement of the affairs and Prophethood) on me, and join me with the righteous.
84 And grant me an honourable mention in later generations.
85 And make me one of the inheritors of the Paradise of Delight.
86 And forgive my father, verily he is of the erring.
87 And disgrace me not on the Day when (all the creatures) will be resurrected.
88 The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail,
89 Except him who brings to Allah a clean heart [clean from Shirk (polytheism) and Nifaq (hypocrisy)]."
90 And Paradise will be brought near to the Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2).
91 And the (Hell) Fire will be placed in full view of the erring.
92 And it will be said to them: "Where are those (the false gods whom you used to set up as rivals with Allah) that you used to worship.
93 "Instead of Allah? Can they help you or (even) help themselves?"
94 Then they will be thrown on their faces into the (Fire), they and the Ghawun (devils, and those who were in error).
95 And the whole hosts of Iblis (Satan) together.
96 They will say while contending therein,
97 By Allah, we were truly in a manifest error,
98 When We held you (false gods) as equals (in worship) with the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists);
99 And none has brought us into error except the Mujrimun [Iblis (Satan) and those of human beings who commit crimes, murderers, polytheists, oppressors].
100 Now we have no intercessors,
101 Nor a close friend (to help us).
102 (Alas!) If we only had a chance to return (to the world), we shall truly be among the believers!
103 Verily in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
104 And verily, your Lord, He is truly the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
105 The people of Nuh (Noah) belied the Messengers.
106 When their brother Nuh (Noah) said to them: "Will you not fear Allah and obey Him?
107 "I am a trustworthy Messenger to you.
108 "So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me.
109 "No reward do I ask of you for it (my Message of Islamic Monotheism); my reward is only from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
110 "So keep your duty to Allah, fear Him and obey me."
111 They said: "Shall we believe in you, when the meanest (of the people) follow you?"
112 He said: "And what knowledge have I of what they used to do?
113 "Their account is only with my Lord, if you could (but) know.
114 "And I am not going to drive away the believers.
115 I am only a plain warner."
116 They said: "If you cease not, O Nuh (Noah) you will surely be among those stoned (to death)."
117 He said: "My Lord! Verily, my people have belied me.
118 Therefore judge You between me and them, and save me and those of the believers who are with me."
119 And We saved him and those with him in the laden ship.
120 Then We drowned the rest (disbelievers) thereafter.
121 Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
122 And verily your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
123 'Ad (people) belied the Messengers.
124 When their brother Hud said to them: "Will you not fear Allah and obey Him?
125 "Verily I am a trustworthy Messenger to you.
126 "So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me.
127 "No reward do I ask of you for it (my Message of Islamic Monotheism); my reward is only from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn, and all that exists).
128 "Do you build high palaces on every high place, while you do not live in them?
129 "And do you get for yourselves palaces (fine buildings) as if you will live therein for ever.
130 "And when you seize (somebody), seize you (him) as tyrants?
131 "So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me.
132 "And keep your duty to Him, fear Him Who has aided you with all (good things) that you know.
133 "He has aided you with cattle and children.
134 "And gardens and springs.
135 "Verily, I fear for you the torment of a Great Day."
136 They said: "It is the same to us whether you preach or be not of those who preach.
137 "This is no other than the false tales and religion of the ancients, [Tafsir At-Tabari]
138 "And we are not going to be punished."
139 So they belied him, and We destroyed them. Verily in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
140 And verily your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
141 Thamud (people) belied the Messengers.
142 When their brother Salih said to them: "Will you not fear Allah and obey Him?
143 "I am a trustworthy Messenger to you.
144 "So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me.
145 "No reward do I ask of you for it (my Message of Islamic Monotheism); my reward is only from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
146 "Will you be left secure in that which you have here?
147 "In gardens and springs.
148 And green crops (fields) and date-palms with soft spadix.
149 "And you hew out in the mountains, houses with great skill.
150 "So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me.
151 "And follow not the command of Al-Musrifun [i.e. their chiefs: leaders who were polytheists, criminals and sinners],
152 "Who make mischief in the land, and reform not."
153 They said: "You are only of those bewitched!
154 "You are but a human being like us. Then bring us a sign if you are of the truthful."
155 He said: "Here is a she-camel: it has a right to drink (water), and you have a right to drink (water) (each) on a day, known.
156 "And touch her not with harm, lest the torment of a Great Day should seize you."
157 But they killed her, and then they became regretful.
158 So the torment overtook them. Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
159 And verily your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
160 The people of Lut (Lot) (-who dwelt in the town of Sodom in Palestine) belied the Messengers.
161 When their brother Lut (Lot) said to them: "Will you not fear Allah and obey Him?
162 "Verily I am a trustworthy Messenger to you.
163 "So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me.
164 "No reward do I ask of you for it (my Message of Islamic Monotheism); my reward is only from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
165 "Go you in unto the males of the 'Alamin (mankind),
166 "And leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your wives? Nay, you are a trespassing people!"
167 They said: "If you cease not O Lut (Lot)! verily, you will be one of those who are driven out!"
168 He said: "I am, indeed, of those who disapprove with severe anger and fury your (this evil) action (of sodomy).
169 "My Lord! Save me and my family from what they do."
170 So We saved him and his family, all,
171 Except an old woman (his wife) among those who remained behind.
172 Then afterward We destroyed the others.
173 And We rained on them a rain (of torment). And how evil was the rain of those who had been warned!
174 Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
175 And verily your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
176 The dwellers of Al-Aikah [near Madyan (Midian)] belied the Messengers.
177 When Shu'aib said to them: "Will you not fear Allah (and obey Him)?
178 "I am a trustworthy Messenger to you.
179 "So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me.
180 "No reward do I ask of you for it (my Message of Islamic Monotheism); my reward is only from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
181 "Give full measure, and cause no loss (to others).
182 "And weigh with the true and straight balance.
183 "And defraud not people by reducing their things, nor do evil, making corruption and mischief in the land.
184 "And fear Him Who created you and the generations of the men of old."
185 They said: "You are only one of those bewitched!
186 "You are but a human being like us and verily, we think that you are one of the liars!
187 "So cause a piece of the heaven to fall on us, if you are of the truthful!"
188 He said: "My Lord is the Best Knower of what you do."
189 But they belied him, so the torment of the day of shadow (a gloomy cloud) seized them. Indeed that was the torment of a Great Day.
190 Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
191 And verily your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
192 And truly, this (the Qur'an) is a revelation from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists),
193 Which the trustworthy Ruh [Jibril (Gabriel)] has brought down
194 Upon your heart (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) that you may be (one) of the warners,
195 In the plain Arabic language.
196 And verily, it (the Qur'an, and its revelation to Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) is (announced) in the Scriptures [i.e. the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] of former people.
197 Is it not a sign to them that the learned scholars (like 'Abdullah bin Salam رضي الله عنه who embraced Islam) of the Children of Israel knew it (as true)?
198 And if We had revealed it (this Qur'an) unto any of the non-Arabs,
199 And he had recited it unto them, they would not have believed in it.
200 Thus have We caused it (the denial of the Qur'an) to enter the hearts of the Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists, sinners).
201 They will not believe in it until they see the painful torment.
202 It shall come to them of a sudden, while they perceive it not.
203 Then they will say: "Can we be respited?"
204 Would they then wish for Our Torment to be hastened on?
205 Tell Me, (even) if We do let them enjoy for years,
206 And afterwards comes to them that (punishment) which they had been promised,
207 All that with which they used to enjoy shall not avail them.
208 And never did We destroy a township but it had its warners
209 By way of reminder, and We have never been unjust.
210 And it is not the Shayatin (devils) who have brought it (this Qur'an) down.
211 Neither would it suit them, nor they can (produce it).
212 Verily, they have been removed far from hearing it.
213 So invoke not with Allah another ilah (god) lest you should be among those who receive punishment.
214 And warn your tribe (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) of near kindred.
215 And be kind and humble to the believers who follow you.
216 Then if they disobey you, say: "I am innocent of what you do."
217 And put your trust in the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful,
218 Who sees you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) when you stand up (alone at night for Tahajjud prayers).
219 And your movements among those who fall prostrate (to Allah in the five compulsory congregational prayers).
220 Verily He, only He, is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.
221 Shall I inform you (O people!) upon whom the Shayatin (devils) descend?
222 They descend on every lying, sinful person.
223 Who gives ear (to the devils and they pour what they may have heard of the Unseen from the angels), and most of them are liars.
224 As for the poets, the erring ones follow them,
225 See you not that they speak about every subject (praising people - right or wrong) in their poetry?
226 And that they say what they do not do.
227 Except those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous deeds, and remember Allah much, and vindicate themselves after they have been wronged [by replying back in poetry to the unjust poetry (which the pagan poets utter against the Muslims)]. And those who do wrong will come to know by what overturning they will be overturned.
