طسٓمٓ

1. Ta Seen Meem¹.

1. See footnote to Qur’an chapter2: Verse1.

2 : 26

تِلۡكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ٱلۡمُبِينِ

2. These are the Verses of the clear Book².

2. The clear Book is the Qur’an whose verses are clear with regards to its language and rulings, and all its meanings. A Book whose Truth is evident and which clears up that which is indefinite and inexact.

3 : 26

لَعَلَّكَ بَٰخِعٞ نَّفۡسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ

3. Perhaps you (Muhammad) consume yourself (with grief) that they are not going to be believers.

4 : 26

إِن نَّشَأۡ نُنَزِّلۡ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةٗ فَظَلَّتۡ أَعۡنَٰقُهُمۡ لَهَا خَٰضِعِينَ

4. If We will, We can send down upon them from the sky a Sign so that their necks should remain bowed to it in humility.

5 : 26

وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن ذِكۡرٖ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ مُحۡدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ عَنۡهُ مُعۡرِضِينَ

5. And there comes not to them Reminder (revelation) from (Allāh) the Most Compassionate as new, but they turn away from it.

6 : 26

فَقَدۡ كَذَّبُواْ فَسَيَأۡتِيهِمۡ أَنۢبَٰٓؤُاْ مَا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ

6. So they have already denied (this Qur’an), so the news of that which they mock it shall soon come to them.

7 : 26

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَمۡ أَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجٖ كَرِيمٍ

7. Do they not see the earth, how many We have caused to grow therein of every noble pair?

8 : 26

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

8. In this there is certainly a sign. Yet most of them were not to be believers.

9 : 26

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

9. And indeed your Lord (Allāh) is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

10 : 26

وَإِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئۡتِ ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

10. And (mention) when your Lord called out to Moses, saying: "Go to the unjust people,

11 : 26

قَوۡمَ فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ

11. The people of Pharaoh. Will they not ward off (evil)?"

12 : 26

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ

12. (Moses) said: "My Lord (Allah), Indeed, I fear that they will deny me.

13 : 26

وَيَضِيقُ صَدۡرِي وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِي فَأَرۡسِلۡ إِلَىٰ هَٰرُونَ

13. And my chest straitens, also my tongue is not fluent, so send for Aaron (to help me).

14 : 26

وَلَهُمۡ عَلَيَّ ذَنۢبٞ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقۡتُلُونِ

14. And they have a crime (of murder) against me, so I fear that they may kill me."

15 : 26

قَالَ كَلَّاۖ فَٱذۡهَبَا بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسۡتَمِعُونَ

15. (Allāh) said: "No. So go you both with Our signs; We are with you, listening".

16 : 26

فَأۡتِيَا فِرۡعَوۡنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

16. So come to Pharaoh and say: "Indeed, We are the messenger of the Lord of all beings.

17 : 26

أَنۡ أَرۡسِلۡ مَعَنَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

17. That send with us the children of Israel.

18 : 26

قَالَ أَلَمۡ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدٗا وَلَبِثۡتَ فِينَا مِنۡ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ

18. (Pharaoh) said: "Did we not rear you among us as a newborn, and you stayed (many) years of your life in our care?

19 : 26

وَفَعَلۡتَ فَعۡلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِي فَعَلۡتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

19. And you did your deed (of murder) which you did, and you are of the ungrateful."

20 : 26

قَالَ فَعَلۡتُهَآ إِذٗا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

20. (Moses) said: "I did it then when I was of those who are lost (ignorant concerning Allāh and His message). 

21 : 26

فَفَرَرۡتُ مِنكُمۡ لَمَّا خِفۡتُكُمۡ فَوَهَبَ لِي رَبِّي حُكۡمٗا وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

21. So I fled from you when I feared you, then my Lord (Allāh) granted me sound judgement and appointed me as one of the Messengers.

22 : 26

وَتِلۡكَ نِعۡمَةٞ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَيَّ أَنۡ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

22. And that is a favor with which you oblige on me that you have enslaved the children of Israel3?

3. When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself. 

23 : 26

قَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

23. Pharaoh said: "What is the Lord of the universe?"

24 : 26

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ

24. (Moses) said: The Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, if you should be convinced with certainty."

25 : 26

قَالَ لِمَنۡ حَوۡلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسۡتَمِعُونَ

25. (Pharaoh) said to those around him: "Do you not hear (what he said)?"

26 : 26

قَالَ رَبُّكُمۡ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

26. (Moses) said: (He is also) your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers."

27 : 26

قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِيٓ أُرۡسِلَ إِلَيۡكُمۡ لَمَجۡنُونٞ

27. (Pharaoh) said: "Your messenger who is sent to you is certainly mad."

28 : 26

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقِ وَٱلۡمَغۡرِبِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآۖ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ

28. (Moses) said: "(He is the) Lord of the East and the West and what is between them, if you only had any sense."

29 : 26

قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذۡتَ إِلَٰهًا غَيۡرِي لَأَجۡعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمَسۡجُونِينَ

29. (Pharaoh) said: "If you will take a god other than me, I will certainly place you among those imprisoned."

30 : 26

قَالَ أَوَلَوۡ جِئۡتُكَ بِشَيۡءٖ مُّبِينٖ

30. (Moses) said: "Even if I bring you some thing clear?"

31 : 26

قَالَ فَأۡتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ

31. (Pharaoh) said: "Bring it then, if you are of the truthful."

32 : 26

فَأَلۡقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ ثُعۡبَانٞ مُّبِينٞ

32. So (Moses) cast down his staff, and at once it was a manifest snake,

33 : 26

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِيَ بَيۡضَآءُ لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ

33. And he drew out his hand, and at once it was white (shining) to the beholders.

34 : 26

قَالَ لِلۡمَلَإِ حَوۡلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٞ

34. (Pharaoh) said to the council around him: "This is certainly a skillful sorcerer,

35 : 26

يُرِيدُ أَن يُخۡرِجَكُم مِّنۡ أَرۡضِكُم بِسِحۡرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأۡمُرُونَ

35. He wants to drive you out of your land with his sorcery. So what do you command?"

36 : 26

قَالُوٓاْ أَرۡجِهۡ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبۡعَثۡ فِي ٱلۡمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ

36. They said: "Postpone him (Moses) and his brother (Aaron) and raise up into the cities gatherers -

37 : 26

يَأۡتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٖ

37. who will bring you with every knowing magician."

38 : 26

فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَٰتِ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ

38. So the magicians were assembled for appointment of a known day (the day of festival),

39 : 26

وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّجۡتَمِعُونَ

39. And it was said to the people: "Will you gathet together?

40 : 26

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ

40. That perhaps we may follow the magicians, if they are the winners."

41 : 26

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُواْ لِفِرۡعَوۡنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجۡرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ

41. So when the magicians came, they said to Pharaoh: "Will there be any reward for us if we are the winners?"

42 : 26

قَالَ نَعَمۡ وَإِنَّكُمۡ إِذٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِينَ

42. He said: "Yes, and you will then certainly be of those near 'to me'."

43 : 26

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلۡقُواْ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلۡقُونَ

43. Moses said to them: "Cast what you are going to cast."

44 : 26

فَأَلۡقَوۡاْ حِبَالَهُمۡ وَعِصِيَّهُمۡ وَقَالُواْ بِعِزَّةِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ

44. So they cast down their ropes and their staffs and said: "By Pharaoh’s power, we, we ourselves shall certainly be the winners."

45 : 26

فَأَلۡقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلۡقَفُ مَا يَأۡفِكُونَ

45. Then Moses cast down his staff, and at once it devoured what they had falsified.

46 : 26

فَأُلۡقِيَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَٰجِدِينَ

46. So the magicians fell down, prostrating.

47 : 26

قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

47. They said: "We believe in the Lord of all beings.

48 : 26

رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

48. Lord of Moses and Aaron."

49 : 26

قَالَ ءَامَنتُمۡ لَهُۥ قَبۡلَ أَنۡ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحۡرَ فَلَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيۡدِيَكُمۡ وَأَرۡجُلَكُم مِّنۡ خِلَٰفٖ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ

49. (Pharaoh) said: "You believed him (Moses) before I give you permission. He is certainly your chief who taught you the magic, so you shall soon come to know: I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all."

50 : 26

قَالُواْ لَا ضَيۡرَۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ

50. They said: "No harm. For we will surely return to our Lord (Allāh);

51 : 26

إِنَّا نَطۡمَعُ أَن يَغۡفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

51. Indeed, We hope that our Lord (Allāh) will forgive us our sins - that we are the first to believe."

52 : 26

۞ وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنۡ أَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِيٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

52. And we inspired to Moses, 'saying': "Travel by night with My servants, for you will surely be pursued."

53 : 26

فَأَرۡسَلَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ فِي ٱلۡمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ

53. So Pharaoh sent in the cities gatherers;

54 : 26

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرۡذِمَةٞ قَلِيلُونَ

54. (Saying): Indeed, these (Muslims of Israelites) are a small gang (of terrorists);

55 : 26

وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ

55. And indeed, They to us are surely enraging;

56 : 26

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ

56. And indeed, we are a nation wary (against terrorism)."

57 : 26

فَأَخۡرَجۡنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّٰتٖ وَعُيُونٖ

57. So We drove them (Pharaoh and his people) out of gardens and springs,

58 : 26

وَكُنُوزٖ وَمَقَامٖ كَرِيمٖ

58. And treasures and a noble station,

59 : 26

كَذَٰلِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَٰهَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

59. Thus, and We caused to inherit it the Israelites.

60 : 26

فَأَتۡبَعُوهُم مُّشۡرِقِينَ

60. They (Pharaoh and his people) pursued them at sunrise.

61 : 26

فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِ قَالَ أَصۡحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدۡرَكُونَ

61. When the two multitudes sighted each other, the companions of Moses said: "Indeed, We are certainly been overtaken."

62 : 26

قَالَ كَلَّآۖ إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ

62. (Moses) said: "No indeed, my Lord (Allāh) is with me - He will guide me."

63 : 26

فَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضۡرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرۡقٖ كَٱلطَّوۡدِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

63. So We inspired to Moses: "Strike the sea with your staff." So it parted, each part became as a huge, firm mass of mountain.

64 : 26

وَأَزۡلَفۡنَا ثَمَّ ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

64. And We drew near thereto the others (Pharaoh and his army),

65 : 26

وَأَنجَيۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ

65. And We delivered Moses and who were with him, all.

66 : 26

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

66. Then We drowned the others (Pharaoh and his army).

67 : 26

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

67. In this there is certainly a sign. Yet most of them were not to be believers.

68 : 26

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

68. And indeed your Lord (Allāh) is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

69 : 26

وَٱتۡلُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ نَبَأَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

69. And recite to them (O Muhammad) the story of Abraham.

70 : 26

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

70. When he said to his father and his people: "What do you worship?"

71 : 26

قَالُواْ نَعۡبُدُ أَصۡنَامٗا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَٰكِفِينَ

71. They said: "We worship idols, so we remain ever devoted to them."

72 : 26

قَالَ هَلۡ يَسۡمَعُونَكُمۡ إِذۡ تَدۡعُونَ

72. He said: "Do they hear you when you invoke (them)?

73 : 26

أَوۡ يَنفَعُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ يَضُرُّونَ

73. Or (do they) benefit you or can cause harm?"

74 : 26

قَالُواْ بَلۡ وَجَدۡنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفۡعَلُونَ

74. They said: "Rather, we found our fathers doing so."

75 : 26

قَالَ أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُونَ

75. He said: "Have you then considered what you have been worshiping,

76 : 26

أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلۡأَقۡدَمُونَ

76. You and your fathers (of) the old.

77 : 26

فَإِنَّهُمۡ عَدُوّٞ لِّيٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

77. Indeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of all beings (i.e., Allāh).

78 : 26

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَهُوَ يَهۡدِينِ

78. Who created me, and it is He Who guides me.

79 : 26

وَٱلَّذِي هُوَ يُطۡعِمُنِي وَيَسۡقِينِ

79. And He is the One Who feeds me and gives me drink.

80 : 26

وَإِذَا مَرِضۡتُ فَهُوَ يَشۡفِينِ

80. And when I get sick, He heals me4.

4. These are the words of the prophet Abraham, being conscious of his own impotency to cure and heal himself; and being fully satisfied of the power of Allāh to cure and heal him. Sins are also diseases, and healing them lies in the forgiveness of them, which Allāh only can grant. The famous story of the boy and the king recorded in the Sunnah, when the king’s courtier asks the boy to cure his blindness, the boy retorts: “Verily, I cure no one. Only Allāh 'Exalted is He' Who cures. If you believe in Allāh, I will supplicate to Allāh and He will cure you.”
Hence, while the supplication was a means of curing the blindness, the real doer was Allāh alone. By making this known to the courtier, the boy instilled in him the reality of Monotheism. However, this does not mean the action (in this case, healing) cannot be ascribed to the means (in this case, the boy or his supplication). It is correct to make this ascription, as long as the belief that the effort is not the real cause is firmly understood. Jesus also cured the blind and the leprosy and raised from the dead all by Allah's permission and not from Himself. Jesus is nothing without the help of his God and Lord, Allāh and cannot do anything.

81 : 26

وَٱلَّذِي يُمِيتُنِي ثُمَّ يُحۡيِينِ

81. And He Who will cause me to die5, and then bring me back to life again;

5 . The prophet Muhammad said, “One who accompanies the funeral of a Muslim with faith and hope of earning reward, and remains with it until the burial is complete, shall return (home) with two qirat (great) rewards. Each reward is equal to Mount Uhud, and the person who performs the funeral prayer only, and returns before the burial, will return with one qirat (great) reward”.

82 : 26

وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَطۡمَعُ أَن يَغۡفِرَ لِي خَطِيٓـَٔتِي يَوۡمَ ٱلدِّينِ

82. And He Whom I hope to forgive my flaws on the Day of Recompense.

83 : 26

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي حُكۡمٗا وَأَلۡحِقۡنِي بِٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

83. My Lord (Allāh), grant me sound judgment, and join me with the righteous.

84 : 26

وَٱجۡعَل لِّي لِسَانَ صِدۡقٖ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

84. And grant me (an honourable mention on) the tongue of truth among the latest (generations)6.

6. Muslims invoke Allah’s blessings upon Abraham (ﷺ) along with Muhammad (ﷺ) in their daily prayers.

85 : 26

وَٱجۡعَلۡنِي مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

85. And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Bliss.

86 : 26

وَٱغۡفِرۡ لِأَبِيٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

86. And forgive my father, surely he is one of the erring,

87 : 26

وَلَا تُخۡزِنِي يَوۡمَ يُبۡعَثُونَ

87. And do not disgrace me on the Day they are resurrected (from the dead).

88 : 26

يَوۡمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٞ وَلَا بَنُونَ

88. The Day when neither wealth nor children will benefit 'anyone',

89 : 26

إِلَّا مَنۡ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٖ

89. Except him who comes to Allāh with a sound 'pure' heart7.

7. Free from pride, haughtiness and hypocrisy. Our hearts can shape our lives and relationships. A corrupt heart brings trouble and suffering, while a cheerful heart is good medicine. We are warned against the damage caused by being spiteful, seeking revenge, vindictive or willfully stubborn, quarreling, lying, stealing and unjust behavior. Contrarily, loyal and protective relationships are lifted up.

90 : 26

وَأُزۡلِفَتِ ٱلۡجَنَّةُ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ

90. And Paradise will be brought near (that Day) to the righteous,

91 : 26

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلۡجَحِيمُ لِلۡغَاوِينَ

91. And Hell will be unveiled to the deviant,

92 : 26

وَقِيلَ لَهُمۡ أَيۡنَ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُونَ

92. And it will be said to them: "Where are those that you used to worship.

93 : 26

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلۡ يَنصُرُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ يَنتَصِرُونَ

93. Besides Allāh? Can they help you or even help themselves?"

94 : 26

فَكُبۡكِبُواْ فِيهَا هُمۡ وَٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ

94. So they will be thrown down into it (fire), they (the idols) and the deviant,

95 : 26

وَجُنُودُ إِبۡلِيسَ أَجۡمَعُونَ

95. And the soldiers of Iblees 'Satan', all together.

96 : 26

قَالُواْ وَهُمۡ فِيهَا يَخۡتَصِمُونَ

96. They will say while they are in it disputing:

97 : 26

تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٍ

97. (saying): By Allāh, indeed, we were truly in a clear error,

98 : 26

إِذۡ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

98. When we equated you (false deities) with the Lord of all beings (i.e., Allāh)

99 : 26

وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ

99. And none but the guilty8 led us astray;

8. Corrupt rulers, priests and pastors, false preachers, and bad friends.

100 : 26

فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَٰفِعِينَ

100. So (now) We have no for us of any intercessors,

101 : 26

وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٖ

101. Nor an intimate friend.

102 : 26

فَلَوۡ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةٗ فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

102. Then If we only had a return (to the world), and would be among the believers.

103 : 26

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

103. In this there is certainly a sign. Yet most of them were not to be believers.

104 : 26

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

104. And indeed Your Lord (Allāh) is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

105 : 26

كَذَّبَتۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٍ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

105. The people of Noah rejected the messengers (of Allāh).

106 : 26

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

106. When their brother Noah said to them: "Will you not fear (Allāh and shun evil)?"

107 : 26

إِنِّي لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٞ

107. Indeed, I am a trustworthy messenger to you;

108 : 26

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

108. So fear Allāh, (shun evil) and obey me.

109 : 26

وَمَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

109. I do not ask you any reward for this (Message); my reward is only with (Allāh) the Lord of all beings:

110 : 26

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

110. So fear Allāh, (shun evil) and obey me.

111 : 26

۞ قَالُوٓاْ أَنُؤۡمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلۡأَرۡذَلُونَ

111. They said: "Should we believe in you when you are followed by the lowest (class of people)?"

112 : 26

قَالَ وَمَا عِلۡمِي بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ

112. He said: "And what is my knowledge of what they used to do."

113 : 26

إِنۡ حِسَابُهُمۡ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّيۖ لَوۡ تَشۡعُرُونَ

113. Their reckoning (and judgement) is with none but my Lord (Allāh), if you could only perceive.

114 : 26

وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

114. I And I am not one to drive away the believers;

115 : 26

إِنۡ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٞ

115. I am not but a plain warner9.

9. Of Chastisement for whoever associates any partner with Allāh and works evil.

116 : 26

قَالُواْ لَئِن لَّمۡ تَنتَهِ يَٰنُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمَرۡجُومِينَ

116. They said: "Noah, if you do not desist (your preaching), you will surely be of those who are stoned (to death).”

117 : 26

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوۡمِي كَذَّبُونِ

117. He said: "My Lord (Allāh), indeed my people have denied me.

118 : 26

فَٱفۡتَحۡ بَيۡنِي وَبَيۡنَهُمۡ فَتۡحٗا وَنَجِّنِي وَمَن مَّعِيَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

118. So judge between me and them decisively, and deliver me and those who are with me of the believers."

119 : 26

فَأَنجَيۡنَٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِي ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ

119. So We delivered him and those with him in the laden ark10.

10. During Noah's time we see everyone has turned their back on Allāh, except Noah; he worshipped and loved Allāh. Perhaps his amazing obedience was found in his heart of gratitude and what saved and set him and his family apart from those who were wiped out in the great flood. Allāh described him as grateful servant. The Qur’an tells us the people of this time were full of evil and sin, that is why Allāh sent the flood. If the opposite of joyful is sad and the opposite of commitment is refusal, could it be that the people of Noah’s time sadly refused their commitment to Allāh. The root of all sin is ingratitude; it certainly seems to be a great place for the Satan to get a foothold as he did in every person but Noah during this time.
Abraham, the father of many generations, was one whose heart of gratitude almost cost him the life of his beloved son, but Allāh spared Ismael. His commitment to Allāh was greater than any other thing, even his own son. Allāh sparing Ismael shows us how He blessed Abraham’s obedience. Even when he questioned, even when he sought assurance, obedience flowed from Abraham’s heart of gratitude.
We find Moses and the Israelites singing a song of deliverance and praise after Allāh led the Israelites out of Egypt and saved them by parting the Red Sea.

120 : 26

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا بَعۡدُ ٱلۡبَاقِينَ

120. Then We drowned afterwards the rest.

121 : 26

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

121. In this there is certainly a sign. Yet most of them were not to be believers.

122 : 26

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

122. And indeed your Lord (Allāh) is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

123 : 26

كَذَّبَتۡ عَادٌ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

123. The people of ‘Aad rejected the messengers (of Allāh).

124 : 26

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

124. When their brother Hud said to them: "Will you not fear (Allāh, and shun evil)?"

125 : 26

إِنِّي لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٞ

125. Indeed, I am a trustworthy messenger to you;

126 : 26

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

126. So fear Allāh, (shun evil) and obey me:

127 : 26

وَمَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

127. I do not ask you any reward for this (Message); my reward is only with (Allāh) the Lord of all beings.

128 : 26

أَتَبۡنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِيعٍ ءَايَةٗ تَعۡبَثُونَ

128. Do you (foolishly) construct on every elevation a monument in vanity,

129 : 26

وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَخۡلُدُونَ

129. And you take (for yourselves) mighty castles that perhaps you may abide eternally.

130 : 26

وَإِذَا بَطَشۡتُم بَطَشۡتُمۡ جَبَّارِينَ

130. And when you strike (on men) you strike (as) tyrants;

131 : 26

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

131. So fear Allāh, (shun evil) and obey me.

132 : 26

وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَمَدَّكُم بِمَا تَعۡلَمُونَ

132. And fear Him Who has provided you of what you know.

133 : 26

أَمَدَّكُم بِأَنۡعَٰمٖ وَبَنِينَ

133. He has provided you with cattle and children,

134 : 26

وَجَنَّٰتٖ وَعُيُونٍ

134. And gardens and springs.

135 : 26

إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ عَذَابَ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٖ

135. Indeed, I fear for you the Chastisement of a tremendous Day.

136 : 26

قَالُواْ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيۡنَآ أَوَعَظۡتَ أَمۡ لَمۡ تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلۡوَٰعِظِينَ

136. They said: "It is the same to us whether you you admonish 'us or you are not one of the admonishers.

137 : 26

إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا خُلُقُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

137. This is not but the fable of the former people;

138 : 26

وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ

138. And We are not tormented."

139 : 26

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهۡلَكۡنَٰهُمۡۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

139. So they denied him, then We destroyed them. In this there is certainly a sign. Yet most of them were not to be believers.

140 : 26

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

140. And indeed your Lord (Allāh) is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

141 : 26

كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

141. The people of Thamud rejected the messengers (of Allāh).

142 : 26

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ صَٰلِحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

142. When their brother Salih said to them: "Will you not fear (Allāh, and shun evil)?

143 : 26

إِنِّي لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٞ

143. Indeed, I am a trustworthy messenger to you.

144 : 26

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

144. So fear Allāh, (shun evil) and obey me.

145 : 26

وَمَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

145. I do not ask you any reward for this (Message); my reward is only with (Allāh), the Lord of all beings.

146 : 26

أَتُتۡرَكُونَ فِي مَا هَٰهُنَآ ءَامِنِينَ

146. Will you be left in that which you have here secure (from death)?

147 : 26

فِي جَنَّٰتٖ وَعُيُونٖ

147. In gardens and springs,

148 : 26

وَزُرُوعٖ وَنَخۡلٖ طَلۡعُهَا هَضِيمٞ

148. And fields of crops and palm-trees laden with tender fruit.

149 : 26

وَتَنۡحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡجِبَالِ بُيُوتٗا فَٰرِهِينَ

149. And you carve out of the mountains houses exultingly.

150 : 26

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

150. So fear Allāh, (shun evil) and obey me.

151 : 26

وَلَا تُطِيعُوٓاْ أَمۡرَ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ

151. And do not obey the command of the extravagant,

152 : 26

ٱلَّذِينَ يُفۡسِدُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَا يُصۡلِحُونَ

152. Who spread corruption throughout the land and do not reform.

153 : 26

قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَحَّرِينَ

153. They said: "You are only of those bewitched.

154 : 26

مَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٞ مِّثۡلُنَا فَأۡتِ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ

154. You are not but a human being like us. So bring a Sign if you are of the truthful."

155 : 26

قَالَ هَٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةٞ لَّهَا شِرۡبٞ وَلَكُمۡ شِرۡبُ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ

155. (Salih) said: "This is a she-camel; for her is (a time to)  drink (from the well), and for you is (a time to) drink, (each one) a known day."

156 : 26

وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٖ فَيَأۡخُذَكُمۡ عَذَابُ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٖ

156. And do not touch her with harm, lest the torment of a terrible Day should seize you.

157 : 26

فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصۡبَحُواْ نَٰدِمِينَ

157. Yet they slaughter her, (so) they became regretful;

158 : 26

فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

158. So the torment seized them. In this there is certainly a sign. Yet most of them were not to be believers.

159 : 26

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

159. And indeed your Lord (Allāh) is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

160 : 26

كَذَّبَتۡ قَوۡمُ لُوطٍ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

160. The people of Lot rejected the messengers (of Allāh).

161 : 26

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ لُوطٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

161. When their brother Lot said to them: "Will you not fear Allāh (and shun evil?)"

162 : 26

إِنِّي لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٞ

162. Indeed, I am a trustworthy messenger to you;

163 : 26

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

163. So fear Allāh, (shun evil) and obey me:

164 : 26

وَمَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

164. I do not ask you any reward for this (Message); my reward is only with (Allāh) the Lord of all beings;

165 : 26

أَتَأۡتُونَ ٱلذُّكۡرَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

165. Do you come (lustfully) to the males11 among all other creatures?

11. The Prophet Muhammad said: "If a woman has carnal relations with a woman (lesbian), they are both adulterers. If a man has carnal relations with a man (gay), then they are both adulterers."
The Prophet Muhammad also said: "Cursed is the one who has intercourse with an animal, cursed is the one who does the action of sodomy." He repeated three times.

166 : 26

وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمۡ رَبُّكُم مِّنۡ أَزۡوَٰجِكُمۚ بَلۡ أَنتُمۡ قَوۡمٌ عَادُونَ

166. And you leave what your Lord created for you as wives? Rather, you are a transgressing people12.

12. The bounds of what is lawful into what is unlawful.

167 : 26

قَالُواْ لَئِن لَّمۡ تَنتَهِ يَٰلُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمُخۡرَجِينَ

167. They said: "If you desist not (your condemnation of sodomy) O Lot, you will surely be of those expelled.

168 : 26

قَالَ إِنِّي لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡقَالِينَ

168. (Lot) said, "Indeed, I am, toward your deed, of those who abhor (it)."

169 : 26

رَبِّ نَجِّنِي وَأَهۡلِي مِمَّا يَعۡمَلُونَ

169. Lord (Allāh), deliver me and my family from what they do."

170 : 26

فَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ

170. So We delivered him and his family, all of them,

171 : 26

إِلَّا عَجُوزٗا فِي ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ

171. Except an old woman (Lot’s wife) among the lagging (who perished).

172 : 26

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

172. Then We 'utterly' destroyed the others.

173 : 26

وَأَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهِم مَّطَرٗاۖ فَسَآءَ مَطَرُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ

173. And We showered upon them a rain (of stones). How evil was the rain of those who were warned.

174 : 26

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

174. In this there is certainly a sign. Yet most of them were not to be believers.

175 : 26

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

175. And indeed your Lord (Allāh) is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

176 : 26

كَذَّبَ أَصۡحَٰبُ لۡـَٔيۡكَةِ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

176. The dwellers of the thicket (Midian) rejected the messengers (of Allāh).

177 : 26

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ شُعَيۡبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

177. When Shu’aib said to them: "Will you not fear Allāh (and shun evil)?"

178 : 26

إِنِّي لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٞ

178. Indeed, I am a trustworthy Messenger to you.

179 : 26

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

179. So fear Allāh, (shun evil) and obey me.

180 : 26

وَمَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

180. I do not ask you any reward for this (Message), my reward is only with (Allāh) the Lord of all beings.

181 : 26

۞ أَوۡفُواْ ٱلۡكَيۡلَ وَلَا تَكُونُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡمُخۡسِرِينَ

181. Give full measure and (do) not be of those who (cheat and) cause loss to others.

182 : 26

وَزِنُواْ بِٱلۡقِسۡطَاسِ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمِ

182. And weigh with the even balance.

183 : 26

وَلَا تَبۡخَسُواْ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشۡيَآءَهُمۡ وَلَا تَعۡثَوۡاْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مُفۡسِدِينَ

183. And do not defraud the people of their things, nor go about in the land, spreading corruption.

184 : 26

وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَكُمۡ وَٱلۡجِبِلَّةَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

184. And have fear of the One (Allāh) Who created you and the former crowds.

185 : 26

قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَحَّرِينَ

185. They said: "You are only of those bewitched.

186 : 26

وَمَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٞ مِّثۡلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡكَٰذِبِينَ

186. You are not but a human being like us, and we think you are indeed of the liars."

187 : 26

فَأَسۡقِطۡ عَلَيۡنَا كِسَفٗا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ

187. So cause a fragment of the sky to fall down upon us, if you are of the truthful.

188 : 26

قَالَ رَبِّيٓ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ

188. (Shu’aib) said: "My Lord (Allāh) knows best what you do."

189 : 26

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمۡ عَذَابُ يَوۡمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٍ

189. But they denied him, so the torment of the Day of the overshadowing cloud seized them; surely it was the torment of a tremendous Day.

190 : 26

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

190. In this there is certainly a sign. Yet most of them were not to be believers.

191 : 26

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

191. And indeed your Lord (Allāh) is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

192 : 26

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

192. And indeed it (Qur’an) is surely a (revelation) sent down from (Allāh) the Lord of all beings.

193 : 26

نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلۡأَمِينُ

193. The trustworthy spirit (Gabriel) has come down with it.

194 : 26

عَلَىٰ قَلۡبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُنذِرِينَ

194. Upon your heart (Muhammad), that you may be of the warners.

195 : 26

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِيّٖ مُّبِينٖ

195. In a clear Arabic tongue (language).

196 : 26

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِي زُبُرِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

196. And surely it is (mentioned)13 in the Scriptures of former people14.

13. The Qur’ân, and its revelation to the Prophet Muhammad.
14. I.e., The Torah and the Gospel.

197 : 26

أَوَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُمۡ ءَايَةً أَن يَعۡلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَٰٓؤُاْ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

197. Was it not a sign to them (the pagans) that the scholars of the children of Israel knew about it15?

15. E.g., Abdullah ibn Salām, a Jewish scholar, who accepted Islam during the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ), for he knew that he came with a true message from God.

198 : 26

وَلَوۡ نَزَّلۡنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضِ ٱلۡأَعۡجَمِينَ

198. And if We Had sent it down (this Qur’an) to some of the non-Arabs,

199 : 26

فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيۡهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ مُؤۡمِنِينَ

199. Then he had recited to them, they (the pagans) would not have been believers in it.

200 : 26

كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكۡنَٰهُ فِي قُلُوبِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ

200. Thus We have inserted it (disbelief) into the hearts of the guilty.

201 : 26

لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُاْ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِيمَ

201. They will not believe in it - until they see the painful torment.

202 : 26

فَيَأۡتِيَهُم بَغۡتَةٗ وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ

202. And it will come to them all of a sudden, while they do not perceive it,

203 : 26

فَيَقُولُواْ هَلۡ نَحۡنُ مُنظَرُونَ

203. So they say: "Are we (to be) reprieved (that we might reform ourselves)?"

204 : 26

205. Have you then considered if We let them enjoy themselves for years,

206 : 26

216. But if they disobey you, then say: "I am disassociated of what you are doing."

19. I.e., the soothsayers and fortune tellers.

224 : 26

وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ

224. As for the poets20, they are followed by the deviators.

20. Islam encourages good wholesome poetry, which inspires one towards the fear of God, towards His awe and obedience, and towards anything that is good and made permissible by God and His messenger. What is forbidden is poetry and songs that does nothing but instigates and encourages indecency, illegal lusts and desires, and inspires one towards the transgression of the boundaries of Islam.
Muhammad, God's Messenger said, "It is better for anyone of you that the inside of his body be filled with pus which may consume his body, than it be filled with poetry."
The Messenger of God did not like poets and poetry, which sensationalized and encouraged the pursuit of the world and its alluring lusts. But he encouraged those poets whose poetry praised God, contained words of wisdom which related to the Guidance to God.

225 : 26

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّهُمۡ فِي كُلِّ وَادٖ يَهِيمُونَ

227 : 26

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَذَكَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرٗا وَٱنتَصَرُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا ظُلِمُواْۗ وَسَيَعۡلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓاْ أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٖ يَنقَلِبُونَ

227. Except those who believe, do righteous deeds, remember Allāh often, and defend themselves after being wronged. And those who work iniquity22 will soon know as to what place of return they shall return23.

22. By associating others with Allāh, or committing other deadly sins.
23. Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the orphans; plead the case of the widow. We must work for righteousness and justice if we are to be true to our Islamic faith.
