طسٓمٓ

Tā sīn mīm.^[1]

[1] See footnote 2:1.

2 : 26

تِلۡكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ٱلۡمُبِينِ

These are the verses of the clear Book.

3 : 26

لَعَلَّكَ بَٰخِعٞ نَّفۡسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ

Perhaps you^[2] will grieve yourself to death because they do not believe.

[2] O Muhammad.

4 : 26

إِن نَّشَأۡ نُنَزِّلۡ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةٗ فَظَلَّتۡ أَعۡنَٰقُهُمۡ لَهَا خَٰضِعِينَ

If We willed, We could send down upon them a sign from the heaven, at which their necks would stay bowed in humility^[3].

[3] i.e., they would be compelled to believe, being humbled.

5 : 26

وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن ذِكۡرٖ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ مُحۡدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ عَنۡهُ مُعۡرِضِينَ

No new reminder comes to them from the Most Compassionate except that they turn away from it.

6 : 26

فَقَدۡ كَذَّبُواْ فَسَيَأۡتِيهِمۡ أَنۢبَٰٓؤُاْ مَا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ

They have rejected [the Truth], soon there will come to them the consequences of their ridicule.

7 : 26

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَمۡ أَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجٖ كَرِيمٍ

Do they not see the earth, how many fine kinds of plants We grow in it?

8 : 26

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

Indeed, there is a sign in this, yet most of them will not believe.

9 : 26

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Your Lord is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

10 : 26

وَإِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئۡتِ ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

And [remember] when your Lord called out to Moses, “Go to the wrongdoing people –

11 : 26

قَوۡمَ فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ

the people of Pharaoh; will they not fear [the punishment of] Allah?”

12 : 26

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ

He said, “My Lord, I fear that they may reject me,

13 : 26

وَيَضِيقُ صَدۡرِي وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِي فَأَرۡسِلۡ إِلَىٰ هَٰرُونَ

and I will feel distressed and my tongue will not be fluent, so send Aaron along [to help me].

14 : 26

وَلَهُمۡ عَلَيَّ ذَنۢبٞ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقۡتُلُونِ

Moreover, they have a charge against me, so I fear they may kill me^[4].”

[4] For killing a Coptic Egyptian by mistake before becoming a prophet.

15 : 26

قَالَ كَلَّاۖ فَٱذۡهَبَا بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسۡتَمِعُونَ

Allah said, “Certainly not! Go, both of you, with Our signs^[5]; We are with you, listening.

[5] i.e., the miracles of the staff and the shining hand, given to Moses.

16 : 26

فَأۡتِيَا فِرۡعَوۡنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

Go to Pharaoh and say, ‘We are the messengers^[6] from the Lord of the worlds,

[6] The singular form in Arabic denotes that they both were sent with a single message.

17 : 26

أَنۡ أَرۡسِلۡ مَعَنَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

that you let the Children of Israel go with us.’”

18 : 26

قَالَ أَلَمۡ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدٗا وَلَبِثۡتَ فِينَا مِنۡ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ

Pharaoh said, “Did we not bring you up as a child among us, and you stayed with us several years of your life?

19 : 26

وَفَعَلۡتَ فَعۡلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِي فَعَلۡتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

Yet you did what you did^[7], and you are extremely ungrateful.”

[7] i.e., striking the Copt in support of a man from your people, who died as a result.
