Revealed At Mecca, Verses: 227
In the name of Allah, The Merciful, The
All-merciful
- Ta Sin Mim (T.S.M.).(1)
- These are the signs of the Manifest
Book.(2)
- Perhaps thou wilt consume thyself that
they do not believe.(3)
- If We will, We shall send down a Sign
on them from the heaven, so that their necks will be humbled to it.(4)
- But no Reminder comes to them, renewed
from the All-merciful, but that they turn away from it.(5)
- Now they have cried lies, so there
shall come to them the news of that they were mocking at.(6)
- Have they not seen the earth, how many
of every fine type We have made to grow in it?(7)
- In that is surely a Sign, yet most
of them are not believers.(8)
- And surely thy Lord __ He is the Mighty,
the Merciful.(9)
- And when thy Lord called to Moses,
`go to the wrong-doing people,(10)
- the people of Pharaoh; will they not
be godfearing?'(11)
- He said, `my Lord, I fear that they
will give lies to me,(12)
- and my breast straitens and my tongue
is not loosened; so send to Aaron.(13)
- And they have also a sin against me,
so I fear that they will kill me'.(14)
- He said, `no indeed; go (you two) with
Our Signs; We shall be with you, listening.(15)
- So go you to Pharaoh, and say, `we
are the Messengers of the Lord of the world,(16)
- send the Children of Israel with us'.(17)
- He said, `did we not bring thee up
as a child among us, and thou didst stay several years of thy life
among us,(18)
- and thou didst the deed that thou didst,
and thou wast of the ungrateful?'(19)
- He said, `I did it then, and I was
of the astray;(20)
- then when I feared you, I fled from
you, but my Lord gave me judgement and appointed me one of the Envoys.(21)
- And is this a blessing thou reproachest
me with that thou hast enslaved the Children of Israel.'(22)
- Pharaoh said, `and what is the Lord
of the World?'(23)
- He said, `the Lord of the heavens and
the earth and what between them is, if you could have faith.'(24)
- He said to those around him, `do you
not hear?'(25)
- He said, `your Lord and the Lord of
your ancient fathers.'(26)
- He said, `surely your Messenger who
has been sent to you is possessed.'(27)
- He said, `the Lord of the East and
the West and what between them is, if you could understand.'(28)
- He said, `if thou takest a god other
than me, I shall surely put thee among the imprisoned.'(29)
- He said, `even though I had brought
thee something, manifest?'(30)
- He said, `bring it then, if thou art
of the truthful.'(31)
- So he cast his staff, then, lo, it
was a serpent manifest;(32)
- and he drew forth his Hand, then, lo,
it was white to the beholders.(33)
- Pharaoh said to the chiefs about him,
`this is surely a learned sorcerer,(34)
- who desires to expel you from your
land by his sorcery; so what do you enjoin?'(35)
- They said, `put him and his brother
off a while, and send musterers to the cities,(36)
- to bring thee every learned sorcerer'.(37)
- So the sorcerers assembled at the appointed
time of a known day,(38)
- and it was said to the people, `will
you also assemble,(39)
- that we may follow the sorcerers, if
it should be that they are the victors?'(40)
- Then, when the sorcerers came, they
said to Pharaoh, `shall we have a wage if we should be the victors?'(41)
- He said, `yes, and then you shall surely
be among the near-stationed.'(42)
- Moses said to them, `cast you what
you will cast.'(43)
- So they cast their ropes and their
staffs, and said, `by the might of Pharaoh, we will surely be the
victors.'(44)
- Then Moses cast his staff, and, lo,
it swallowed up all that they had forged.(45)
- And the sorcerers fell down prostrate;(46)
- they said, `we believe in the Lord
of the world,(47)
- the Lord of Moses and Aaron.'(48)
- Pharaoh said, `you have believed him
before I gave you permission; he is surely your chief who taught you
sorcery; now you will soon know. I shall cut off your hands and your
feet on opposite sides, and I shall crucify you all.'(49)
- They said, `no matter, we are returning
to our Lord;(50)
- we are eager that our Lord should forgive
us our mistakes for we are the first of the believers.'(51)
- And We revealed to Moses, `take away
My servants by night; you will be followed.'(52)
- And Pharaoh sent musterers over the
cities,(53)
- `these are indeed a small band,(54)
- and they are enraging us,(55)
- while we are a well-equipped host.'(56)
- So We expelled them from gardens and
fountains,(57)
- and treasures and a gracious station;(58)
- so it was; and We made the Children
of Israel to inherit them.(59)
- Then they followed them by sunrise,(60)
- and when the two hosts saw each other,
the companions of Moses said, `we are overtaken.'(61)
- He said,`no indeed; my Lord is with
me; He will guide me.'(62)
- Then We revealed to Moses, `strike
the sea with thy staff;' and it was split, and every part was like
a mighty mountain.(63)
- And there We brought the others on;(64)
- and We saved Moses and all those with
him;(65)
- then We drowned the others.(66)
- In that is surely a Sign, yet most
of them are not believers.(67)
- And surely thy Lord __ He is the Mighty,
the Merciful.(68)
- And recite to them the tale of Abraham.(69)
- When he said to his father and his
people, `what do you serve?'(70)
- They said, `we serve idols, and we
keep sitting with them.'(71)
- He said, `do they hear you when you
call,(72)
- or do they profit or harm you?'(73)
- They said, `no, but we found our fathers
doing likewise.'(74)
- He said, `have you considered what
you have been serving,(75)
- you and your earlier fathers,(76)
- they are enemy to me, except the Lord
of the world,(77)
- He who created me, then guides me,(78)
- and He who gives me to eat and drink,(79)
- and, when I fall sick, He heals me,(80)
- and who will make me to die, then will
give me life,(81)
- and who, I am eager, will forgive me
my mistakes on the Day of Recompense' __ (82)
- `My Lord, give me Judgement and join
me with the righteous,(83)
- and make for me a reputation of truth
among the later people,(84)
- and make me one of the inheritors of
the Garden of Bliss,(85)
- and forgive my father, for he is among
the astray,(86)
- and do not disgrace me on the day when
people are raised up,(87)
- the day when wealth shall not profit,
nor sons,(88)
- except for him who comes to God with
a sound heart.(89)
- And Paradise shall be brought forward
for the godfearing;(90)
- and the Blazing Fire shall be brought
forward for the perverse;(91)
- and it will be said to them, `where
are those you were serving,(92)
- apart from God? Do they help you or
help themselves?'(93)
- Then they shall be thrown headlong
into it __ they and the perverse,(94)
- and the hosts of Iblis, all together.(95)
- They shall say, as they dispute there
with each other,(96)
- `by God, we were clearly astray,(97)
- when we made you equal with the Lord
of the world.(98)
- And none led us astray but the sinners.(99)
- Now we have no intercessors,(100)
- nor any bosom friend.(101)
- But if we could have a second turn,
we would be among the believers.'(102)
- In that is surely a Sign; yet most
of them are not believers.(103)
- And surely thy Lord __ He is the Mighty,
the Merciful.(104)
- The people of Noah gave lies to the
Envoys,(105)
- when their brother Noah said to them,
`will you not be godfearing?(106)
- I am a trustworthy Messenger to you;(107)
- so fear God, and obey me;(108)
- and I do not ask of you any wage for
this; my wage is only on the Lord of the world;(109)
- so fear God and obey me.'(110)
- They said, `shall we believe thee while
the meanest people follow thee?'(111)
- He said, `I have no knowledge of the
things they do.(112)
- Their account falls only on my Lord,
if you could understand;(113)
- and I shall not drive away the Believers.(114)
- I am only a plain warner'.(115)
- They said, `If thou dost not give over,
O Noah, thou shalt surely be among the stoned'.(116)
- He said, `my Lord, my people have given
lies to me,(117)
- so decide between me and them, and
save me and the Believers that are with me.'(118)
- So We saved him and those that were
with him in the laden ship.(119)
- Then, afterwards, We drowned the rest.(120)
- In that is surely a Sign, yet most
of them are not believers.(121)
- And surely thy Lord __ He is the Mighty,
the Merciful.(122)
- Ad gave lies to the Envoys,(123)
- when their brother Hood said to them,
`will you not be godfearing?(124)
- I am a trustworthy Messenger for you,(125)
- so fear God, and obey me;(126)
- and I ask of you no wage for this;
my wage is upon the Lord of the world.(127)
- Do you build on every prominence a
Sign for sport,(128)
- and take to strong buildings as if
you will live forever?(129)
- And when you assault, you assault as
tyrants!(130)
- But fear God and obey me;(131)
- and fear Him who has aided you with
the things you know;(132)
- He aided you with cattle and sons,(133)
- and gardens and fountains.(134)
- Indeed I fear for you the punishment
of a mighty day.'(135)
- They said, `it is the same for us whether
thou admonishest us or thou art not of the admonishers;(136)
- this is nothing but the habit of the
ancients;(137)
- and we shall not be punished.'(138)
- So they gave lies to him, and We destroyed
them. In that is surely a Sign, yet most of them are not believers.(139)
- And surely thy Lord __ He is the Mighty,
the Merciful.(140)
- Thamood gave lies to the Envoys,(141)
- when their brother Salih said to them,
`will you not be godfearing?(142)
- I am for you a trust-worthy Messenger,(143)
- so fear God and obey me;(144)
- and I do not ask of you any wage for
it; my wage is only upon the Lord of the world.(145)
- Will you be left secure amidst these
things;(146)
- amidst gardens and fountains(147)
- and sown fields and palms-trees, having
slender spathes,(148)
- and you will be hewing houses in the
mountains skilfully?(149)
- But fear God and obey me,(150)
- and do not obey the bidding of the
extravagant,(151)
- who cause disorder in the land and
do not put things right.'(152)
- They said, `thou art merely one of
the bewitched;(153)
- thou art not but a mortal like us;
now bring a Sign if thou art of the truthful.'(154)
- He said, `here is a She-camel; for
her a portion of drink, and for you a portion of drink, on a known
day;(155)
- and do not touch her with malice, or
else punishment of a mighty day shall seize you.'(156)
- But they hamstrung her, and they were
remorseful,(157)
- and the punishment seized them. In
that is surely a Sign, yet most of them are not believers.(158)
- And surely thy Lord __ He is the Mighty,
the Merciful.(159)
- The people of Lot gave lies to the
Envoys,(160)
- when their brother Lot said to them,
`will you not be godfearing?(161)
- I am for you a trust-worthy Messenger,(162)
- so fear God and obey me;(163)
- and I do not ask of you any wage; my
wage is only upon the Lord of the world.(164)
- Do you, of all the world, come to the
males,(165)
- and leave your wives that your Lord
has created for you? No, but you are a transgressing people.'(166)
- They said, `if thou, O Lot, dost not
give over, thou shalt be among the expelled.'(167)
- He said, `surely I am of those that
detest your doings' __(168)
- `My Lord, save me and my family from
what they do.'(169)
- So We saved him and his family, all
together,(170)
- except an old woman among those that
stayed behind;(171)
- then We destroyed the others;(172)
- and We rained on them a heavy rain;
and how evil was the raining over the warned!(173)
- In that is surely a Sign, yet most
of them are not believers.(174)
- And surely thy Lord __ He is the Mighty,
the Merciful.(175)
- The people of the Wood gave lies to
the Envoys,(176)
- when Shuaib said to them, `will you
not be godfearing?(177)
- I am for you a trust-worthy Messenger,(178)
- so fear God and obey me;(179)
- and I do not ask of you any wage for
it; my wage is only upon the Lord of the world.(180)
- Fill up the measure, and be not of
the cheaters,(181)
- and weigh with the straight balance,(182)
- and do not diminish the goods of the
people, nor go about the land, causing disorder;(183)
- and fear Him who created you and the
former generations.'(184)
- They said, `thou art merely one of
the bewitched,(185)
- and thou art not but a mortal like
us, and we surely think thee of the liars;(186)
- now drop down on us fragments of the
heaven, if thou art of the truthful.'(187)
- He said, `my Lord very well knows what
you do'.(188)
- But they gave lies to him, and the
punishment of the Day of Shadow seized them; surely it was a punishment
of a mighty day.(189)
- In that is surely a Sign, yet most
of them are not believers.(190)
- And surely thy Lord __ He is the Mighty
the Merciful.(191)
- And surely it is a revelation of the
Lord of the world.(192)
- The Trustworthy Spirit has come down,(193)
- with it, on thy heart, that thou mayest
be among the warners,(194)
- in a clear Arabic language;(195)
- and it is certainly (present) in the
Scrolls of the former people.(196)
- And was it not a Sign for them that
the learned of the Children of Israel know it?(197)
- And if We had sent it down on some
Non-Arab,(198)
- and he had read it to them, they would
not have believed in it.(199)
- Thus We have put it into the hearts
of the sinners;(200)
- they shall not believe in it, until
they see the painful punishment;(201)
- and it will come upon them suddenly,
while they perceive it not;(202)
- then they will say, `shall we be respited?'(203)
- What! do they seek to hasten Our punishment?(204)
- But hast thou considered, if We let
them enjoy for years,(205)
- then there comes upon them what they
are promised,(206)
- what will it avail them, the enjoyment
that was given to them.(207)
- And We never destroyed any city but
it had its warners __(208)
- for a Reminder __ and We were not wrong-doers.(209)
- And the devils have not come down with
it.(210)
- And it does not behove them nor can
they do it.(211)
- They are, in fact, kept away from its
hearing.(212)
- So call thou not upon another god with
God, or thou shalt be among those who are punished.(213)
- And warn thy nearest kindred,(214)
- and keep thy wing low to the Believers
who follow thee.(215)
- And if they disobey thee, say, `I am
absolved of what you do.'(216)
- And put thy trust in the Mighty, the
Merciful,(217)
- who sees thee when thou standest(218)
- and thy turning about among those who
prostrate themselves.(219)
- Surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing.(220)
- Shall I tell you on whom the devils
come down?(221)
- They come down on every imposter, sinner,(222)
- who give ear, and most of them are
liars.(223)
- And the poets __ the perverse follow
them.(224)
- Hast thou not seen that they wander
in every valley,(225)
- and that they say what they do not,(226)
- except those who believe and do righteous
deeds, and remember God much, and avenge them after being wronged. And
the wrongdoers shall soon know to which returning place they will return.(227)
