 3. It may be that you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) are going to kill yourself with grief, that they do not become believers [in your Risalah (Messengership) i.e. in your Message of Islâmic Monotheism].^[1]

श्लोक: 4

إِن نَّشَأۡ نُنَزِّلۡ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةٗ فَظَلَّتۡ أَعۡنَٰقُهُمۡ لَهَا خَٰضِعِينَ

 4. If We will, We could send down to them from the heaven a sign, to which they would bend their necks in humility.

श्लोक: 5

وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن ذِكۡرٖ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ مُحۡدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ عَنۡهُ مُعۡرِضِينَ

श्लोक: 6

فَقَدۡ كَذَّبُواْ فَسَيَأۡتِيهِمۡ أَنۢبَٰٓؤُاْ مَا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ

 6. So they have indeed denied (the truth - this Qur’ân), then the news of what they mocked at will come to them.

श्लोक: 7

श्लोक: 8

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

 8. Verily, in this is an Ayâh (proof or sign), yet most of them (polytheists, pagans who do not believe in Resurrection) are not believers.

श्लोक: 9

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

 12. He said: "My Lord! Verily, I fear that they will belie me,

 14. "And they have a charge of crime against me, and I fear they will kill me."

श्लोक: 15

قَالَ كَلَّاۖ فَٱذۡهَبَا بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسۡتَمِعُونَ

 15. (Allâh) said: "Nay! Go you both with Our Signs. Verily We shall be with you, listening.

 16. "And go both of you to Fir‘aun (Pharaoh), and say: ‘We are the Messengers of the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists),

أَنۡ أَرۡسِلۡ مَعَنَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

 17. "So allow the Children of Israel to go with us.’ "

श्लोक: 18

قَالَ أَلَمۡ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدٗا وَلَبِثۡتَ فِينَا مِنۡ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ

 18. [Fir‘aun (Pharaoh)] said [to Mûsâ (Moses)]: "Did we not bring you up among us as a child? And you did dwell many years of your life with us.

श्लोक: 19

وَفَعَلۡتَ فَعۡلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِي فَعَلۡتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

 19. "And you did your deed, which you did (i.e. the crime of killing a man) while you were one of the ingrates."

श्लोक: 20

قَالَ فَعَلۡتُهَآ إِذٗا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

20. Mûsâ (Moses) said: "I did it then, when I was ignorant (as regards my Lord and His Message).

श्लोक: 21

فَفَرَرۡتُ مِنكُمۡ لَمَّا خِفۡتُكُمۡ فَوَهَبَ لِي رَبِّي حُكۡمٗا وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

 21. "So I fled from you when I feared you. But my Lord has granted me Hukm (i.e. religious knowledge, right judgement of the affairs and Prophethood), and made me one of the Messengers.

श्लोक: 22

وَتِلۡكَ نِعۡمَةٞ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَيَّ أَنۡ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

 22. "And this is the past favour with which you reproach me: that you have enslaved the Children of Israel."

श्लोक: 23

قَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

 23. Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) said: "And what is the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists)?"

श्लोक: 24

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ

 24. [Mûsâ (Moses)] said: "The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, if you seek to be convinced with certainty."

श्लोक: 25

قَالَ لِمَنۡ حَوۡلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسۡتَمِعُونَ

 25. [Fir‘aun (Pharaoh)] said to those around: "Do you not hear (what he says)?"

श्लोक: 26

قَالَ رَبُّكُمۡ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

 26. [Mûsâ (Moses)] said: "Your Lord and the Lord of your ancient fathers!"

श्लोक: 27

قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِيٓ أُرۡسِلَ إِلَيۡكُمۡ لَمَجۡنُونٞ

 27. [Fir‘aun (Pharaoh)] said: "Verily, your Messenger who has been sent to you is a madman!"

श्लोक: 28

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقِ وَٱلۡمَغۡرِبِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآۖ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ

 28. [Mûsâ (Moses)] said: "Lord of the east and the west, and all that is between them, if you did but understand!"

श्लोक: 29

قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذۡتَ إِلَٰهًا غَيۡرِي لَأَجۡعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمَسۡجُونِينَ

 29. [Fir‘aun (Pharaoh)] said: "If you choose an ilâh (god) other than me, I will certainly put you among the prisoners."

श्लोक: 30

قَالَ أَوَلَوۡ جِئۡتُكَ بِشَيۡءٖ مُّبِينٖ

 30. [Mûsâ (Moses)] said: "Even if I bring you something manifest (and convincing)?"

श्लोक: 31

قَالَ فَأۡتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ

 31. [Fir‘aun (Pharaoh)] said: "Bring it forth then, if you are of the truthful!"

श्लोक: 32

فَأَلۡقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ ثُعۡبَانٞ مُّبِينٞ

 32. So [Mûsâ (Moses)] threw his stick, and behold, it was a serpent, manifest.

श्लोक: 33

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِيَ بَيۡضَآءُ لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ

 33. And he drew out his hand, and behold, it was white to all beholders!

श्लोक: 34

قَالَ لِلۡمَلَإِ حَوۡلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٞ

 34. [Fir‘aun (Pharaoh)] said to the chiefs around him: "Verily! This is indeed a well-versed sorcerer.

श्लोक: 35

يُرِيدُ أَن يُخۡرِجَكُم مِّنۡ أَرۡضِكُم بِسِحۡرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأۡمُرُونَ

 35. "He wants to drive you out of your land by his sorcery: what is it then that you command?"

श्लोक: 36

قَالُوٓاْ أَرۡجِهۡ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبۡعَثۡ فِي ٱلۡمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ

 36. They said: "Put him off and his brother (for a while), and send callers to the cities;

श्लोक: 37

يَأۡتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٖ

 37. "To bring up to you every well-versed sorcerer."

श्लोक: 38

فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَٰتِ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ

 38. So the sorcerers were assembled at a fixed time on a day appointed.

श्लोक: 39

وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّجۡتَمِعُونَ

 39. And it was said to the people: "Are you (too) going to assemble?

श्लोक: 40

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ

 40. "That we may follow the sorcerers [who were on Fir‘aun’s (Pharaoh) religion of disbelief] if they are the winners."

श्लोक: 41

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

 41. So when the sorcerers arrived, they said to Fir‘aun (Pharaoh): "Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners?"

श्लोक: 42

قَالَ نَعَمۡ وَإِنَّكُمۡ إِذٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِينَ

 42. He said: "Yes, and you shall then verily be of those brought near (to myself)."

श्लोक: 43

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلۡقُواْ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلۡقُونَ

 43. Mûsâ (Moses) said to them: "Throw what you are going to throw!"

श्लोक: 44

فَأَلۡقَوۡاْ حِبَالَهُمۡ وَعِصِيَّهُمۡ وَقَالُواْ بِعِزَّةِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ

 44. So they threw their ropes and their sticks, and said: "By the might of Fir‘aun (Pharaoh), it is we who will certainly win!"

श्लोक: 45

فَأَلۡقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلۡقَفُ مَا يَأۡفِكُونَ

 45. Then Mûsâ (Moses) threw his stick, and behold, it swallowed up all that they falsely showed!

श्लोक: 46

فَأُلۡقِيَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَٰجِدِينَ

 46. And the sorcerers fell down prostrate.

श्लोक: 47

قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

 47. Saying: "We believe in the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists).

श्लोक: 48

رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

 48. "The Lord of Mûsâ (Moses) and Hârûn (Aaron)."

श्लोक: 49

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

 49. [Fir‘aun (Pharaoh)] said: "You have believed in him before I give you leave. Surely, he indeed is your chief, who has taught you magic! So verily, you shall come to know. Verily, I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you all."

श्लोक: 50

قَالُواْ لَا ضَيۡرَۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ

 50. They said: "No harm! Surely, to our Lord (Allâh) we are to return.

श्लोक: 51

إِنَّا نَطۡمَعُ أَن يَغۡفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

 51. "Verily we really hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins, as we are the first of the believers [in Mûsâ (Moses) and in the Monotheism which he has brought from Allâh]."

श्लोक: 52

۞ وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنۡ أَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِيٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

 52. And We revealed to Mûsâ (Moses), saying: "Depart by night with My slaves, verily you will be pursued."

श्लोक: 53

فَأَرۡسَلَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ فِي ٱلۡمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ

 53. Then Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) sent callers to (all) the cities.

श्लोक: 54

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرۡذِمَةٞ قَلِيلُونَ

 54. (Saying): "Verily these indeed are but a small band.

श्लोक: 55

وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ

 55. "And verily, they have done what has enraged us.

श्लोक: 56

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ

 56. "But we are a host all assembled, amply fore-warned."

श्लोक: 57

فَأَخۡرَجۡنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّٰتٖ وَعُيُونٖ

 57. So, We expelled them from gardens and springs,

श्लोक: 58

وَكُنُوزٖ وَمَقَامٖ كَرِيمٖ

 58. Treasures, and every kind of honourable place.

श्लोक: 59

كَذَٰلِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَٰهَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

 59. Thus [We turned them (Pharaoh’s people) out] and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them.

श्लोक: 60

فَأَتۡبَعُوهُم مُّشۡرِقِينَ

 60. So they pursued them at sunrise.

श्लोक: 61

فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِ قَالَ أَصۡحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدۡرَكُونَ

 61. And when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Mûsâ (Moses) said: "We are sure to be overtaken."

श्लोक: 62

قَالَ كَلَّآۖ إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ

 62. [Mûsâ (Moses)] said: "Nay, verily with me is my Lord. He will guide me."

श्लोक: 63

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

 63. Then We revealed to Mûsâ (Moses) (saying): "Strike the sea with your stick." And it parted, and each separate part (of that sea water) became like huge mountain.

श्लोक: 64

وَأَزۡلَفۡنَا ثَمَّ ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

 64. Then We brought near the others [Fir‘aun’s (Pharaoh) party] to that place.

श्लोक: 65

وَأَنجَيۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ

 65. And We saved Mûsâ (Moses) and all those with him.

श्लोक: 66

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

 66. Then We drowned the others.

श्लोक: 67

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

 67. Verily in this is indeed a sign (or a proof), yet most of them are not believers.

श्लोक: 68

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

 68. And verily your Lord, He is truly the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

श्लोक: 69

وَٱتۡلُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ نَبَأَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

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

श्लोक: 70

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

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

श्लोक: 71

قَالُواْ نَعۡبُدُ أَصۡنَامٗا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَٰكِفِينَ

 71. They said: "We worship idols, and to them we are ever devoted."

श्लोक: 72

قَالَ هَلۡ يَسۡمَعُونَكُمۡ إِذۡ تَدۡعُونَ

 72. He said: "Do they hear you, when you call on (them)?

श्लोक: 73

أَوۡ يَنفَعُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ يَضُرُّونَ

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

श्लोक: 74

قَالُواْ بَلۡ وَجَدۡنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفۡعَلُونَ

 74. They said: "(Nay) but we found our fathers doing so."

श्लोक: 75

قَالَ أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُونَ

 75. He said: "Do you observe that which you have been worshipping -

श्लोक: 76

أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلۡأَقۡدَمُونَ

 76. "You and your ancient fathers?

श्लोक: 77

فَإِنَّهُمۡ عَدُوّٞ لِّيٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

 77. "Verily they are enemies to me, save the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists),

श्लोक: 78

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَهُوَ يَهۡدِينِ

وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَطۡمَعُ أَن يَغۡفِرَ لِي خَطِيٓـَٔتِي يَوۡمَ ٱلدِّينِ

 82. "And Who, I hope, will forgive me my faults on the Day of Recompense, (the Day of Resurrection).

وَأَنذِرۡ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلۡأَقۡرَبِينَ

 214. And warn your tribe (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) of near kindred.^[1]

(V.26:214) Narrated Ibn ‘Abbâs رضي الله عنهما: When the Verse: "And warn your tribe (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) of near kindred." (V.26:214) was revealed, Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم went out, and when he had ascended As-Safa mountain, he shouted, "Yâ Sabâhâh!*" The people said, "Who is that?" "Then they gathered around him, whereupon he said, "Do you see? If I inform you that cavalrymen are proceeding up the side of this mountain, will you believe me?" They said, "We have never heard you telling a lie." Then he said, "I am a plain warner to you of a coming severe punishment." Abû Lahab said: "May you perish! You gathered us only for this reason?" Then Abû Lahab went away. So Sûrat Al-Masad "Perish the hands of Abû Lahab!" (V.111:1) was revealed. (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.6, Hadîth No.495).
* "Yâ Sabâhâh!" is an Arabic expression used when one appeals for help or draws the attention of others to some danger.

श्लोक: 218

ٱلَّذِي يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ

 219. And your movements among those who fall prostrate (to Allâh in the five compulsory congregational prayers).

श्लोक: 220

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ

श्लोक: 224

وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ

 224. As for the poets, the erring ones follow them,

श्लोक: 225

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّهُمۡ فِي كُلِّ وَادٖ يَهِيمُونَ

 225. See you not that they speak about every subject (praising people - right or wrong) in their poetry?

श्लोक: 226

وَأَنَّهُمۡ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفۡعَلُونَ

 226. And that they say what they do not do.

श्लोक: 227

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

 227. Except those who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism) and do righteous deeds, and remember Allâh much, and vindicate themselves after they have been wronged [by replying back in poetry to the unjust poetry (which the pagan poets utter against the Muslims)]. And those who do wrong will come to know by what overturning they will be overturned.
