These are the verses of the clear Book.
3
Perhaps you[2] will grieve yourself to death because they do not believe.
Dipnot / Notes
[2] O Muhammad.
4
If We willed, We could send down upon them a sign from the heaven, at which their necks would stay bowed in humility[3].
Dipnot / Notes
[3] i.e., they would be compelled to believe, being humbled.
5
No new reminder comes to them from the Most Compassionate except that they turn away from it.
6
They have rejected [the Truth], soon there will come to them the consequences of their ridicule.
7
Do they not see the earth, how many fine kinds of plants We grow in it?
8
Indeed, there is a sign in this, yet most of them will not believe.
9
Your Lord is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
10
And [remember] when your Lord called out to Moses, “Go to the wrongdoing people –
11
the people of Pharaoh; will they not fear [the punishment of] Allah?”
12
He said, “My Lord, I fear that they may reject me,
13
and I will feel distressed and my tongue will not be fluent, so send Aaron along [to help me].
14
Moreover, they have a charge against me, so I fear they may kill me[4].”
Dipnot / Notes
[4] For killing a Coptic Egyptian by mistake before becoming a prophet.
15
Allah said, “Certainly not! Go, both of you, with Our signs[5]; We are with you, listening.
Dipnot / Notes
[5] i.e., the miracles of the staff and the shining hand, given to Moses.
16
Go to Pharaoh and say, ‘We are the messengers[6] from the Lord of the worlds,
Dipnot / Notes
[6] The singular form in Arabic denotes that they both were sent with a single message.
17
that you let the Children of Israel go with us.’”
18
Pharaoh said, “Did we not bring you up as a child among us, and you stayed with us several years of your life?
19
Yet you did what you did[7], and you are extremely ungrateful.”
Dipnot / Notes
[7] i.e., striking the Copt in support of a man from your people, who died as a result.
20
He said, “I did it when I had no guidance.
21
So I fled from you in fear. Then my Lord gave me wisdom and made me one of the messengers.
22
Is this a favor that you remind me with, that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?[8]
Dipnot / Notes
[8] i.e., If you had not been cruel to the Israelites, I should not have been brought to your house for upbringing.
23
Pharaoh said, “What is ‘the Lord of the worlds’?”
24
Moses said, “The Lord of the heavens and earth and all that is between them, if only you had sure faith.”
25
Pharaoh said to those around him, “Did you hear [what he just said]?”
26
Moses said, “Your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers.”
27
Pharaoh said, “Your messenger who has been sent to you is truly insane!”
28
Moses said, “Lord of the east and west and all that is between them, if only you had sense!”
29
Pharaoh said, “If you take any god other than me, I will throw you into prison.”
30
Moses said, “What if I bring you a clear proof?”
31
Pharaoh said, “Bring it then if you are truthful!”
32
So he threw down his staff, and suddenly it was a real serpent.
33
And he drew out his hand, and it was glowing white to the beholders.
34
Pharaoh said to the chiefs around him, “This is indeed a learned magician!
35
He wants to drive you out of your land with his magic. What do you suggest?”
36
They said, “Let him and his brother wait and dispatch heralds to the cities
37
to bring you every learned magician.”
38
So the magicians were assembled at an appointed time on a known day[9].
Dipnot / Notes
[9] i.e., the morning of the festival day. See 20:58-59.
39
And it was said to the people, “Will you join the gathering,
40
so that we may follow the magicians, if they are victorious?”
41
When the magicians came, they said to Pharaoh, “Will there be a reward for us if we are victorious?”
42
He said, “Yes, and then you will surely be of those who are close to me.”
43
Moses said to them, “Throw whatever you wish to throw.”
44
So they threw their ropes and staffs, and said, “By the glory of Pharaoh, it is we who will be the victorious!”
45
Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it swallowed up all objects of their illusion.
46
So the magicians fell down in prostration.
47
They said, “We believe in the Lord of the worlds,
48
the Lord of Moses and Aaron.”
49
Pharaoh said, “How dare you believe in him before I give you permission. Indeed, he is your master who taught you magic, but you will soon come to know. I will surely cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, then I will crucify you all.”
50
They said, “No harm; we will surely return to our Lord.
51
We hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins, as we are the first of the believers.”
52
We inspired Moses, “Leave with My slaves by night; you will surely be pursued.”
53
So Pharaoh sent heralds to the cities[10],
Dipnot / Notes
[10] In order to prevent the emigration of the Children of Israel.
54
saying, “These are but a small band,
55
and they have enraged us,
56
but we are all well-prepared.”
57
Thus did We drive them[11] out of their gardens and springs,
Dipnot / Notes
[11] i.e., Pharaoh and his people.
58
and their treasures and splendid dwellings.
59
So it was, and We made the Children of Israel to inherit them.
60
They pursued them at sunrise.
61
When the two groups saw each other, the companions of Moses said, “We are surely overtaken!”
62
Moses said, “Certainly not! My Lord is with me; He will guide me.”
63
Then We inspired Moses, “Strike the sea with your staff,” so it parted, and each part became like a huge mountain.
64
Then We brought the others [i.e., the pursuers] close to that place,
65
and We saved Moses and all those who were with him.
66
Then we drowned the others.
67
Indeed, there is a sign in this, yet most of them would not believe.
68
Indeed, your Lord is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
69
Relate to them the story of Abraham,
70
when he said to his father and his people, “What do you worship?”
71
They said, “We worship idols and remain devoted to them.”
72
He said, “Do they hear you when you call upon them?
73
Or can they benefit or harm you?”
74
They said, “No, but this is what we found our forefathers doing.”
75
He said, “Do you see what you have been worshiping,
76
you and your ancestors?
77
Indeed, they are my enemies, except the Lord of the worlds[12],
Dipnot / Notes
[12] As they worshiped idols in addition to worshiping Allah.
78
Who created me, so He guides me;
79
and it is He Who provides me with food and drink;
80
and when I am ill He heals me;
81
and He will cause me to die and then bring me back to life;
82
and I hope that He will forgive me my sins on the Day of Judgment.”
83
“My Lord, grant me knowledge, and join me with the righteous,
84
and grant me an honorable mention among the later generations[13],
Dipnot / Notes
[13] Muslims invoke Allah’s blessings upon Abraham (ﷺ) along with Muhammad (ﷺ) in their daily prayers.
85
and make me of those who will inherit the Garden of Bliss;
86
and forgive my father, for he is one of those who have gone astray;
87
and do not disgrace me on the Day when all will be resurrected –
88
the Day when neither wealth nor children will be of any avail,
89
except the one who comes to Allah with a sound heart[14].”
Dipnot / Notes
[14] A heart free from disbelief, polytheism, hypocrisy, arrogance, and show-off.
90
Paradise will be brought near to the righteous,
91
and Hellfire will be uncovered to those who went astray,
92
and they will be told, “Where are those whom you used to worship
93
other than Allah? Can they help you or even help themselves?”
94
Then they will be hurled into Hell one upon another, along with those who led them astray,
95
and the followers of Iblīs, all together.
96
There the deviants will say while quarreling with their false deities,
97
“By Allah, we were clearly misguided,
98
when we deemed you equal to the Lord of the worlds.
99
None led us astray except the wicked.
100
Now we neither have any intercessors,
101
nor a close friend.
102
If only we had a chance to return, we would be among the believers.”
103
Indeed, there is a sign in this, yet most of them would not believe.
104
Your Lord is surely the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
105
The people of Noah rejected the messengers[15]
Dipnot / Notes
[15] For denying Noah was equal to denying all of the messengers of Allah.
106
when their brother Noah said to them, “Do you not fear Allah?
107
I am a trustworthy messenger to you,
108
so fear Allah, and obey me.
109
I seek of you no reward for this; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds;
110
so fear Allah, and obey me.”
111
They said, “Shall we believe in you when you are followed by the lowest people[16]?”
Dipnot / Notes
[16] For they were mostly the poor and ordinary people, who enjoyed no position in society.
112
He said, “What knowledge do I have of what they do?
113
Their reckoning is only with my Lord if you realize!
114
I am not going to drive the believers away.
115
I am only a clear warner.”
116
They said, “O Noah, if you do not desist, you will certainly be stoned.”
117
He said, “My Lord, my people have rejected me.
118
So judge between me and them decisively, and save me and the believers who are with me.”
119
So We saved him and those who were with him in the fully laden Ark.
120
Then We drowned thereafter all the rest.
121
Indeed, there is a sign in this, yet most of them would not believe.
122
Indeed, your Lord is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
123
The people of ‘Ād rejected the messengers
124
when their brother Hūd said to them, “Will you not fear Allah?
125
I am a trustworthy messenger to you,
126
so fear Allah, and obey me.
127
I do not ask you for any reward for this; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds.
128
Do you build a landmark[17] on every high place for no purpose?
Dipnot / Notes
[17] They used to build lofty structures along the road to be seen by passersby, as a symbol of their wealth and power.
129
And do you construct for yourselves palaces, hoping that you will live forever?
130
And when you attack [others], do you attack ruthlessly?
131
So fear Allah, and obey me.
132
And fear the One Who has provided you with everything you know:
133
Who provided you with livestock and children,
134
and with gardens and springs.
135
I fear for you the punishment of a momentous day.”
136
They said, “It is the same to us whether you admonish us or not.
137
This is nothing but the custom of the former people,
138
and we will never be punished.”
139
Thus they rejected him, so We destroyed them. Indeed, there is a sign in this, yet most of them would not believe,
140
Your Lord is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
141
The people of Thamūd rejected the messengers
142
when their brother Sālih said to them, “Will you not fear Allah?
143
I am a trustworthy messenger to you,
144
so fear Allah, and obey me.
145
I do not ask you for any reward for this; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds.
146
Will you be left secure in whatever you have here,
147
in gardens and springs,
148
and in fields of crops and date palms laden with tender fruit,
149
carving out houses in the mountains with great skill?
150
So fear Allah, and obey me.
151
And do not obey the command of the transgressors,
152
those who spread corruption in the land and never do what is right.”
153
They said, “You are but one of those who are bewitched!
154
You are but a human like us, so bring a sign if you are one of the truthful.”
155
Sālih said, “This is a she-camel[18]; she will have her share of water and you will have yours, each on a specified day.
Dipnot / Notes
[18] That was miraculously sent to them as a sign by Allah.
156
Do not touch her with harm, or you will be seized by the punishment of a horrible day.”
157
But they hamstrung her, then they became regretful,
158
So the punishment seized them[19]. Indeed, there is a sign in this, yet most of them would not believe.
Dipnot / Notes
[19] They were destroyed by a violent earthquake and a blast after Sālih told them: “You have only three days to enjoy yourselves in your houses”. See 11:65. Allah says: “We sent against them a single blast, leaving them like trampled hedge-building twigs”. See 54:31.
159
Your Lord is indeed the All-Mighty, the 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 a trustworthy messenger to you,
163
so fear Allah, and obey me.
164
I do not ask you for any reward for this; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds.
165
Do you approach males with lust among all people[20],
Dipnot / Notes
[20] i.e., Are there any creatures besides you who commit this abominable act?
166
leaving the wives whom your Lord has created for you? You are but a transgressing people.”
167
They said, “O Lot, If you do not desist, you will surely be expelled.”
168
Lot said, “I am one of those who utterly abhor your practice.
169
My Lord, save me and my family from [the consequences of] what they do.”
170
So We saved him and all his family,
171
except an old woman who was among those who remained behind[21].
Dipnot / Notes
[21] Lot's wife, who betrayed him by not believing and remained a disbeliever; thus, she was among those destroyed.
172
Then We destroyed the rest,
173
and We poured down upon them a rain [of stones]. How terrible was the rain of those who were warned!
174
Indeed, there is a sign in this, yet most of them would not believe.
175
Your Lord is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
176
The people of the Forest[22] rejected the messengers.
Dipnot / Notes
[22] i.e., the people of Madyan, to whom Shu‘ayb was sent.
177
When Shu‘ayb said to them, “Will you not fear Allah?
178
I am a trustworthy messenger to you,
179
so fear Allah, and obey me.
180
I do not ask you for any reward for this; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds.
181
Give full measure and do not be of those who defraud others,
182
and weigh with accurate scales,
183
and do not defraud people of their goods, nor go about in the land spreading corruption.
184
And fear the One Who created you and the former peoples[23].”
Dipnot / Notes
[23] i.e., generations of the past.
185
They said, “You are truly bewitched!
186
You are only a human being like us, and we think you are nothing but a liar.
187
So cause pieces of the sky to fall upon us, if you are of the truthful.”
188
Shu‘ayb said, “My Lord knows best whatever you do.”
189
Thus they rejected him, so they were seized by the punishment of the cloudy day; it was the punishment of a horrible day.
190
Indeed, there is a sign in this, yet most of them would not believe.
191
Your Lord is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
192
This is indeed a revelation from the Lord of the worlds,
193
which the Trustworthy Spirit [Gabriel] has brought down
194
to your heart [O Prophet] so that you may be one of the warners,
195
in a clear Arabic language.
196
And it was indeed [mentioned] in the scriptures of the former peoples.
197
Was it not a proof for them that the learned men of the Children of Israel recognized it [to be true][24]?
Dipnot / Notes
[24] e.g., Abdullah ibn Salām, a Jewish scholar, accepted Islam during the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ), for he knew that he came with a true message.
198
If We had sent it down to any of the non-Arabs,
199
and he had recited it to them[25]; still, they would not have believed in it.
Dipnot / Notes
[25] As a miracle from Allah.
200
This is how We made it [i.e., disbelief] enter the hearts of the wicked.
201
They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment,
202
which will come upon them suddenly when they least expect it.
203
They will then say, “Can we be granted some respite?”
204
Do they really seek to hasten Our punishment?
205
Tell me [O Prophet] if We give them a life of ease for years,
206
then there came to them what they were warned of,
207
what would avail them the life of ease that they were given?
208
We never destroyed any town without sending them warners,
209
to admonish them, for We are never unjust.
210
This [Qur’an] is not sent down by the devils[26],
Dipnot / Notes
[26] As the disbelievers claim; rather, it is brought down by Gabriel, the Trustworthy Spirit.
211
it is not for them to do this, nor is it within their capability,
212
for they are strictly barred from overhearing it[27].
Dipnot / Notes
[27] So they cannot eavesdrop on heaven. See 72:9.
213
So do not call upon any other god besides Allah, lest you become of those who will be punished.
214
And warn [starting with] the nearest kinsfolk,
215
and lower your wing [in kindness] to the believers who follow you.
216
But if they disobey you, say, “I disown what you do.”
217
And put your trust in the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful,
218
Who sees you when you stand up [for prayer],
219
and your movements among those who prostrate.
220
Indeed, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
221
Shall I inform you upon who the devils descend?
222
They descend upon every sinful liar,
223
who whisper hearsay in the ears, but most of them are liars.
224
As for poets, they are followed by the deviants.
225
Do you not see that they wander aimlessly in every valley[28],
Dipnot / Notes
[28] Telling lies indiscriminately, praising some, and disparaging others.
226
and that they say what they do not do?
227
Except those who believe, do righteous deeds, remember Allah much and defend themselves[29] after being wronged. The wrongdoers will come to know what end awaits them.
Dipnot / Notes
[29] By replying to the satire of hostile poets through poetry.
