26:140 And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
Wa-inna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu
26:141 The Thamud (people) rejected the apostles.
Kaththabat thamoodu almursaleena
26:142 Behold, their brother Salih said to them: "Will you not fear (Allah)?
Ith qala lahum akhoohum salihunala tattaqoona
26:143 "I am to you an apostle worthy of all trust.
Innee lakum rasoolun ameenun
26:144 "So fear Allah, and obey me.
Faittaqoo Allaha waateeAAooni
26:145 "No reward do I ask of you for it: my reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds.
Wama as-alukum AAalayhi min ajrin inajriya illa AAala rabbi alAAalameena
26:146 "Will ye be left secure, in (the enjoyment of) all that ye have here?-
Atutrakoona fee ma hahunaamineena
26:147 "Gardens and Springs,
Fee jannatin waAAuyoonin
26:148 "And corn-fields and date-palms with spathes near breaking (with the weight of fruit)?
WazurooAAin wanakhlin talAAuhahadeemun
26:149 "And ye carve houses out of (rocky) mountains with great skill.
Watanhitoona mina aljibalibuyootan fariheena
26:150 "But fear Allah and obey me;
Faittaqoo Allaha waateeAAooni
26:151 "And follow not the bidding of those who are extravagant,-
Wala tuteeAAoo amraalmusrifeena
26:152 "Who make mischief in the land, and mend not (their ways)."
Allatheena yufsidoona fee al-ardiwala yuslihoona
26:153 They said: "Thou art only one of those bewitched!
Qaloo innama anta mina almusahhareena
26:154 "Thou art no more than a mortal like us: then bring us a Sign, if thou tellest the truth!"
Ma anta illa basharun mithlunafa/ti bi-ayatin in kunta mina alssadiqeena
26:155 He said: "Here is a she-camel: she has a right of watering, and ye have a right of watering, (severally) on a day appointed.
Qala hathihi naqatunlaha shirbun walakum shirbu yawmin maAAloomin
26:156 "Touch her not with harm, lest the Penalty of a Great Day seize you."
Wala tamassooha bisoo-infaya/khuthakum AAathabu yawmin AAatheemin
26:157 But they ham-strung her: then did they become full of regrets.
FaAAaqarooha faasbahoonadimeena
26:158 But the Penalty seized them. Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.
Faakhathahumu alAAathabu innafee thalika laayatan wama kanaaktharuhum mu/mineena
26:159 And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
Wa-inna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu
26:160 The people of Lut rejected the apostles.
Kaththabat qawmu lootinalmursaleena
26:161 Behold, their brother Lut said to them: "Will ye not fear (Allah)?
Ith qala lahum akhoohum lootunala tattaqoona
26:162 "I am to you an apostle worthy of all trust.
Innee lakum rasoolun ameenun
26:163 "So fear Allah and obey me.
Faittaqoo Allaha waateeAAooni
26:164 "No reward do I ask of you for it: my reward is only from the lord of the Worlds.
Wama as-alukum AAalayhi min ajrin inajriya illa AAala rabbi alAAalameena
26:165 "Of all the creatures in the world, will ye approach males,
Ata/toona alththukranamina alAAalameena
26:166 "And leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your mates? Nay, ye are a people transgressing (all limits)!"
Watatharoona ma khalaqa lakumrabbukum min azwajikum bal antum qawmun AAadoona
26:167 They said: "If thou desist not, O Lut! thou wilt assuredly be cast out!"
Qaloo la-in lam tantahi yalootu latakoonanna mina almukhrajeena
26:168 He said: "I do detest your doings."
Qala innee liAAamalikum mina alqaleena
26:169 "O my Lord! deliver me and my family from such things as they do!"
Rabbi najjinee waahlee mimmayaAAmaloona
26:170 So We delivered him and his family,- all
Fanajjaynahu waahlahu ajmaAAeena
26:171 Except an old woman who lingered behind.
Illa AAajoozan fee alghabireena
26:172 But the rest We destroyed utterly.
Thumma dammarna al-akhareena
26:173 We rained down on them a shower (of brimstone): and evil was the shower on those who were admonished (but heeded not)!
Waamtarna AAalayhim mataranfasaa mataru almunthareena
26:174 Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.
Inna fee thalika laayatan wamakana aktharuhum mu/mineena
26:175 And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might Most Merciful.
Wa-inna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu
26:176 The Companions of the Wood rejected the apostles.
Kaththaba as-habual-aykati almursaleena
26:177 Behold, Shu'aib said to them: "Will ye not fear (Allah)?
Ith qala lahum shuAAaybun alatattaqoona
26:178 "I am to you an apostle worthy of all trust.
Innee lakum rasoolun ameenun
26:179 "So fear Allah and obey me.
Faittaqoo Allaha waateeAAooni
26:180 "No reward do I ask of you for it: my reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds.
Wama as-alukum AAalayhi min ajrin inajriya illa AAala rabbi alAAalameena
26:181 "Give just measure, and cause no loss (to others by fraud).
Awfoo alkayla wala takoonoo minaalmukhsireena
26:182 "And weigh with scales true and upright.
Wazinoo bialqistasialmustaqeemi
26:183 "And withhold not things justly due to men, nor do evil in the land, working mischief.
Wala tabkhasoo alnnasaashyaahum wala taAAthaw fee al-ardimufsideena
26:184 "And fear Him Who created you and (who created) the generations before (you)"
Waittaqoo allathee khalaqakumwaaljibillata al-awwaleena
26:185 They said: "Thou art only one of those bewitched!
Qaloo innama anta mina almusahhareena
26:186 "Thou art no more than a mortal like us, and indeed we think thou art a liar!
Wama anta illa basharunmithluna wa-in nathunnuka lamina alkathibeena
26:187 "Now cause a piece of the sky to fall on us, if thou art truthful!"
Faasqit AAalayna kisafan minaalssama-i in kunta mina alssadiqeena
26:188 He said: "My Lord knows best what ye do."
Qala rabbee aAAlamu bimataAAmaloona
26:189 But they rejected him. Then the punishment of a day of overshadowing gloom seized them, and that was the Penalty of a Great Day.
Fakaththaboohu faakhathahumAAathabu yawmi alththullati innahu kanaAAathaba yawmin AAatheemin
26:190 Verily in that is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.
Inna fee thalika laayatan wamakana aktharuhum mu/mineena
26:191 And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
Wa-inna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu
26:192 Verily this is a Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds:
Wa-innahu latanzeelu rabbi alAAalameena
26:193 With it came down the spirit of Faith and Truth-
Nazala bihi alrroohu al-ameenu
26:194 To thy heart and mind, that thou mayest admonish.
AAala qalbika litakoona mina almunthireena
26:195 In the perspicuous Arabic tongue.
Bilisanin AAarabiyyin mubeenin
26:196 Without doubt it is (announced) in the mystic Books of former peoples.
Wa-innahu lafee zuburi al-awwaleena
26:197 Is it not a Sign to them that the Learned of the Children of Israel knew it (as true)?
Awa lam yakun lahum ayatan anyaAAlamahu AAulamao banee isra-eela
26:198 Had We revealed it to any of the non-Arabs,
Walaw nazzalnahu AAala baAAdial-aAAjameena
26:199 And had he recited it to them, they would not have believed in it.
Faqaraahu AAalayhim ma kanoobihi mu/mineena
26:200 Thus have We caused it to enter the hearts of the sinners.
Kathalika salaknahu feequloobi almujrimeena
26:201 They will not believe in it until they see the grievous Penalty;
La yu/minoona bihi hattayarawoo alAAathaba al-aleema
26:202 But the (Penalty) will come to them of a sudden, while they perceive it not;
Faya/tiyahum baghtatan wahum layashAAuroona
26:203 Then they will say: "Shall we be respited?"
Fayaqooloo hal nahnu muntharoona
26:204 Do they then ask for Our Penalty to be hastened on?
AfabiAAathabina yastaAAjiloona
26:205 Seest thou? If We do let them enjoy (this life) for a few years,
Afaraayta in mattaAAnahum sineena
26:206 Yet there comes to them at length the (Punishment) which they were promised!
Thumma jaahum ma kanooyooAAadoona
26:207 It will profit them not that they enjoyed (this life)!
Ma aghna AAanhum ma kanooyumattaAAoona
26:208 Never did We destroy a population, but had its warners -
Wama ahlakna min qaryatin illalaha munthiroona
26:209 By way of reminder; and We never are unjust.
Thikra wama kunnathalimeena
26:210 No evil ones have brought down this (Revelation):
Wama tanazzalat bihi alshshayateenu
26:211 It would neither suit them nor would they be able (to produce it).
Wama yanbaghee lahum wamayastateeAAoona
26:212 Indeed they have been removed far from even (a chance of) hearing it.
Innahum AAani alssamAAilamaAAzooloona
26:213 So call not on any other god with Allah, or thou wilt be among those under the Penalty.
Fala tadAAu maAAa Allahi ilahanakhara fatakoona mina almuAAaththabeena
26:214 And admonish thy nearest kinsmen,
Waanthir AAasheerataka al-aqrabeena
26:215 And lower thy wing to the Believers who follow thee.
Waikhfid janahakalimani ittabaAAaka mina almu/mineena
26:216 Then if they disobey thee, say: "I am free (of responsibility) for what ye do!"
Fa-in AAasawka faqul innee baree-onmimma taAAmaloona
26:217 And put thy trust on the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,-
Watawakkal AAala alAAazeezi alrraheemi
26:218 Who seeth thee standing forth (in prayer),
Allathee yaraka heenataqoomu
26:219 And thy movements among those who prostrate themselves,
Wataqallubaka fee alssajideena
26:220 For it is He Who heareth and knoweth all things.
Innahu huwa alssameeAAu alAAaleemu
26:221 Shall I inform you, (O people!), on whom it is that the evil ones descend?
Hal onabbi-okum AAala man tanazzalualshshayateenu
26:222 They descend on every lying, wicked person,
Tanazzalu AAala kulli affakinatheemin
26:223 (Into whose ears) they pour hearsay vanities, and most of them are liars.
Yulqoona alssamAAa waaktharuhum kathiboona
26:224 And the Poets,- It is those straying in Evil, who follow them:
WaalshshuAAaraoyattabiAAuhumu alghawoona
26:225 Seest thou not that they wander distracted in every valley?-
Alam tara annahum fee kulli wadinyaheemoona
26:226 And that they say what they practise not?-
Waannahum yaqooloona ma layafAAaloona
26:227 Except those who believe, work righteousness, engage much in the remembrance of Allah, and defend themselves only after they are unjustly attacked. And soon will the unjust assailants know what vicissitudes their affairs will take!
Illa allatheena amanoowaAAamiloo alssalihati wathakaroo Allahakatheeran waintasaroo min baAAdi ma thulimoowasayaAAlamu allatheena thalamoo ayyamunqalabin yanqaliboona
