Ash-Shu‘arā’

Ayet: 1

طسٓمٓ

1. Ta Seen Meem¹.

1. The Qur’an is made up of such letters from the Arabic alphabet. The Arabs at the time of Revelation were the unrivaled masters of the Arabic language and yet when challenged were totally unable to bring anything like the Qur’an. Despite this fact, the inimitable nature of the Qur’an and its divine source, God knows best the meaning of these disjointed Arabic letters.

Ayet: 2

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.

Ayet: 3

لَعَلَّكَ بَٰخِعٞ نَّفۡسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ

3. Perhaps you torment yourself to death with grief, because they will not become believers.

Ayet: 4

إِن نَّشَأۡ نُنَزِّلۡ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةٗ فَظَلَّتۡ أَعۡنَٰقُهُمۡ لَهَا خَٰضِعِينَ

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

Ayet: 5

وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن ذِكۡرٖ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ مُحۡدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ عَنۡهُ مُعۡرِضِينَ

5. Never comes to them a Reminder (Qur’an) as a recent revelation from the Most Compassionate (Allah), but they turn away from it.

Ayet: 6

فَقَدۡ كَذَّبُواْ فَسَيَأۡتِيهِمۡ أَنۢبَٰٓؤُاْ مَا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ

6. So they have indeed denied (the Truth of Islam), so the news of that which they mock shall soon come to them.

Ayet: 7

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَمۡ أَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجٖ كَرِيمٍ

7. Do they not see the earth, how many of every kind of plants We (Allah) have caused to grow therein?

Ayet: 8

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

8. In this there is, certainly, evidence (of the Onness of Allah). But most of them are not believers.

Ayet: 9

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

9. Your Lord (Allah) is certainly the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

Ayet: 10

وَإِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئۡتِ ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

10. When (Allah) your Lord called out to Moses, saying: "Go to the unjust people,

Ayet: 11

قَوۡمَ فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ

11. The people of Pharaoh: Will they not fear Allah and shun evil?"

Ayet: 12

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ

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

Ayet: 13

وَيَضِيقُ صَدۡرِي وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِي فَأَرۡسِلۡ إِلَىٰ هَٰرُونَ

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

Ayet: 14

وَلَهُمۡ عَلَيَّ ذَنۢبٞ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقۡتُلُونِ

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

Ayet: 15

قَالَ كَلَّاۖ فَٱذۡهَبَا بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسۡتَمِعُونَ

15. (Allah) said: "No. Go you both with Our signs; We are with you, listening".

Ayet: 16

فَأۡتِيَا فِرۡعَوۡنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

16. Then come to Pharaoh and say: "We are the messengers of the Sovereign Lord of all beings.

Ayet: 17

أَنۡ أَرۡسِلۡ مَعَنَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

17. Send the children of Israel with us.

Ayet: 18

قَالَ أَلَمۡ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدٗا وَلَبِثۡتَ فِينَا مِنۡ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ

18. (Pharaoh) said: "Did we not bring you up as a child among us, and you stayed among us for (many) years of your life?

Ayet: 19

وَفَعَلۡتَ فَعۡلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِي فَعَلۡتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

19. And you did (that) deed of yours which you did (i.e., killing a man), and you are of the ungrateful."

Ayet: 20

قَالَ فَعَلۡتُهَآ إِذٗا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

20. (Moses) said: "I did it then when I was ignorant (concerning Allah and His message). 

Ayet: 21

فَفَرَرۡتُ مِنكُمۡ لَمَّا خِفۡتُكُمۡ فَوَهَبَ لِي رَبِّي حُكۡمٗا وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

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

Ayet: 22

وَتِلۡكَ نِعۡمَةٞ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَيَّ أَنۡ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

22. Is it a favor of which you remind me, that you have enslaved the children of Israel?

Ayet: 23

قَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

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

Ayet: 24

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ

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

Ayet: 25

قَالَ لِمَنۡ حَوۡلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسۡتَمِعُونَ

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

Ayet: 26

قَالَ رَبُّكُمۡ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

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

Ayet: 27

قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِيٓ أُرۡسِلَ إِلَيۡكُمۡ لَمَجۡنُونٞ

27. (Pharaoh) said: "Your messenger who is sent to you is certainly out of his mind."

Ayet: 28

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقِ وَٱلۡمَغۡرِبِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآۖ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ

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

Ayet: 29

قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذۡتَ إِلَٰهًا غَيۡرِي لَأَجۡعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمَسۡجُونِينَ

29. (Pharaoh) said: "If you will take a god other than me, I will certainly make you of the imprisoned."

Ayet: 30

قَالَ أَوَلَوۡ جِئۡتُكَ بِشَيۡءٖ مُّبِينٖ

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

Ayet: 31

قَالَ فَأۡتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ

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

Ayet: 32

فَأَلۡقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ ثُعۡبَانٞ مُّبِينٞ

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

Ayet: 33

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِيَ بَيۡضَآءُ لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ

33. He drew forth his hand, and at once it appeared white (with radiance) to the beholders.

Ayet: 34

قَالَ لِلۡمَلَإِ حَوۡلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٞ

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

Ayet: 35

يُرِيدُ أَن يُخۡرِجَكُم مِّنۡ أَرۡضِكُم بِسِحۡرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأۡمُرُونَ

35. He wants to drive you out of your land with his sorcery. What is it then that you advise?"

Ayet: 36

قَالُوٓاْ أَرۡجِهۡ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبۡعَثۡ فِي ٱلۡمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ

36. They said: "Give him (Moses) and his brother (Aaron) respite and send callers into the cities,

Ayet: 37

يَأۡتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٖ

37. That they should bring to you every skillful magician."

Ayet: 38

فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَٰتِ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ

38. So the magicians were gathered together at appointed time on a known day,

Ayet: 39

وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّجۡتَمِعُونَ

39. It was told to the people: "Will you gather together?

Ayet: 40

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ

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

Ayet: 41

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?"

Ayet: 42

قَالَ نَعَمۡ وَإِنَّكُمۡ إِذٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِينَ

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

Ayet: 43

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلۡقُواْ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلۡقُونَ

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

Ayet: 44

فَأَلۡقَوۡاْ حِبَالَهُمۡ وَعِصِيَّهُمۡ وَقَالُواْ بِعِزَّةِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ

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

Ayet: 45

فَأَلۡقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلۡقَفُ مَا يَأۡفِكُونَ

45. Then Moses cast down his staff and at once it swallowed up the falsehood they invented.

Ayet: 46

فَأُلۡقِيَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَٰجِدِينَ

46. The magicians fell down prostrate.

Ayet: 47

قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

47. They said: "We believe in (Allah) the Sovereign Lord of all beings.

Ayet: 48

رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

48. The Lord of Moses and Aaron."

Ayet: 49

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 believe in Moses before I give you permission; he is certainly the chief of you 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 crucify you all."

Ayet: 50

قَالُواْ لَا ضَيۡرَۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ

50. They said: "No harm (to us); to (Allah) our Lord we will certainly return;

Ayet: 51

إِنَّا نَطۡمَعُ أَن يَغۡفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

51. We hope that (Allah) our Lord will forgive us our wrongs - as we are the first of the believers."

Ayet: 52

۞ وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنۡ أَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِيٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

52. We revealed to Moses, saying: "Go away with My servants traveling by night, you will be pursued."

Ayet: 53

فَأَرۡسَلَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ فِي ٱلۡمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ

53. So Pharaoh sent heralds into the cities;

Ayet: 54

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرۡذِمَةٞ قَلِيلُونَ

54. (Saying): "These are a small band;

Ayet: 55

وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ

55. They have enraged us;

Ayet: 56

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ

56. But we are all cautious, fully prepared (against any danger and terror)."

Ayet: 57

فَأَخۡرَجۡنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّٰتٖ وَعُيُونٖ

57. Thus did We drive them out of gardens and springs,

Ayet: 58

وَكُنُوزٖ وَمَقَامٖ كَرِيمٖ

58. And (from) treasures and goodly dwellings,

Ayet: 59

كَذَٰلِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَٰهَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

59. So it was, and We caused to inherit it the children of Israel.

Ayet: 60

فَأَتۡبَعُوهُم مُّشۡرِقِينَ

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

Ayet: 61

فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِ قَالَ أَصۡحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدۡرَكُونَ

61. When the two armies saw each other, the companions of Moses cried out: "We are certainly caught."

Ayet: 62

قَالَ كَلَّآۖ إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ

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

Ayet: 63

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

63. We inspired to Moses: "Strike the sea with your staff." So it parted, and each separate part (of the sea) was like a huge, firm mass of mountain.

Ayet: 64

وَأَزۡلَفۡنَا ثَمَّ ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

64. Then We brought near to there the others.

Ayet: 65

وَأَنجَيۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ

65. We delivered Moses and those with him, all together.

Ayet: 66

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

66. Then We drowned the others.

Ayet: 67

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

67. In this there is certainly a Sign, but most of them are not believers.

Ayet: 68

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

68. Your Lord (Allah) is certainly the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

Ayet: 69

وَٱتۡلُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ نَبَأَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

69. Recite to them the story of Abraham.

Ayet: 70

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

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

Ayet: 71

قَالُواْ نَعۡبُدُ أَصۡنَامٗا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَٰكِفِينَ

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

Ayet: 72

قَالَ هَلۡ يَسۡمَعُونَكُمۡ إِذۡ تَدۡعُونَ

72. He said: "Do they hear you when you call?

Ayet: 73

أَوۡ يَنفَعُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ يَضُرُّونَ

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

Ayet: 74

قَالُواْ بَلۡ وَجَدۡنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفۡعَلُونَ

74. They said: "No, but we found our fathers doing so."

Ayet: 75

قَالَ أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُونَ

75. (Abraham) said: "Have you then considered what you have been worshiping:

Ayet: 76

أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلۡأَقۡدَمُونَ

76. You and your ancient fathers.

Ayet: 77

فَإِنَّهُمۡ عَدُوّٞ لِّيٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

77. They are enemies to me, except the Sovereign Lord of the universe, (Allah);

Ayet: 78

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَهُوَ يَهۡدِينِ

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

Ayet: 79

وَٱلَّذِي هُوَ يُطۡعِمُنِي وَيَسۡقِينِ

79. It is He (Allah) Who feeds me and gives me to drink:

Ayet: 80

وَإِذَا مَرِضۡتُ فَهُوَ يَشۡفِينِ

80. And when I am sick, He (Allah) heals me³.

3. These are the words of the prophet Abraham, being conscious of his own impotency to cure himself; and being fully satisfied of the power of Allah to cure and heal him. Sins are also diseases, and healing them lies in the forgiveness of them, which Allah can only 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) cures. If you believe in Allāh (Exalted is He), 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, Allah.

Ayet: 81

وَٱلَّذِي يُمِيتُنِي ثُمَّ يُحۡيِينِ

81. He (Allah) will cause me to die4, and will bring me back to life;

4 . 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”.

Ayet: 82

وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَطۡمَعُ أَن يَغۡفِرَ لِي خَطِيٓـَٔتِي يَوۡمَ ٱلدِّينِ

82. It is He (Allah) Whom I hope to forgive my sin on the Day of Recompense.

Ayet: 83

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي حُكۡمٗا وَأَلۡحِقۡنِي بِٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

83. Lord (Allah), grant me right judgment, and join me with the righteous.

Ayet: 84

وَٱجۡعَل لِّي لِسَانَ صِدۡقٖ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

84. Grant for me a goodly mention in later generations.

Ayet: 85

وَٱجۡعَلۡنِي مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

85. Place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Bliss.

Ayet: 86

وَٱغۡفِرۡ لِأَبِيٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

86. Forgive my father, he has gone astray;

Ayet: 87

وَلَا تُخۡزِنِي يَوۡمَ يُبۡعَثُونَ

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

Ayet: 88

يَوۡمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٞ وَلَا بَنُونَ

88. The Day on which wealth will not benefit, nor sons,

Ayet: 89

إِلَّا مَنۡ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٖ

89. Except him who comes to Allah with a sound heart5.

5. 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.

Ayet: 90

وَأُزۡلِفَتِ ٱلۡجَنَّةُ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ

90. Paradise will be brought near to the righteous,

Ayet: 91

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلۡجَحِيمُ لِلۡغَاوِينَ

91. And the Hellfire will appear plainly to the straying ones,

Ayet: 92

وَقِيلَ لَهُمۡ أَيۡنَ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُونَ

92. Who will be asked: "Where are those that you used to worship.

Ayet: 93

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلۡ يَنصُرُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ يَنتَصِرُونَ

93. Besides Allah? Can they help you or yet help themselves?"

Ayet: 94

فَكُبۡكِبُواْ فِيهَا هُمۡ وَٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ

94. So they will be thrown down into it (the Hellfire), they (the idols) and the straying ones,

Ayet: 95

وَجُنُودُ إِبۡلِيسَ أَجۡمَعُونَ

95. And the soldiers of Iblees (Satan), all together.

Ayet: 96

قَالُواْ وَهُمۡ فِيهَا يَخۡتَصِمُونَ

96. They will say while they are blaming one another therein:

Ayet: 97

تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٍ

97. "By Allah, we were certainly in manifest error,

Ayet: 98

إِذۡ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

98. When we made you equal to (Allah) the Sovereign Lord of the universe.

Ayet: 99

وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ

99. None but the wicked6 led us astray;

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

Ayet: 100

فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَٰفِعِينَ

100. So we have no intercessors,

Ayet: 101

وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٖ

101. Nor a true friend;

Ayet: 102

فَلَوۡ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةٗ فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

102. Oh, if we only had a chance to return (to the world) we shall truly be among the believers.

Allah'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 Allah 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.
