Mecca
أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed one
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
2
تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
﴿2﴾
26:2
These are the verses of the clear Book.
3
لَعَلَّكَ بَـٰخِعٌۭ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ
﴿3﴾
26:3
Perhaps you ˹O Prophet˺ will grieve yourself to death over their disbelief.
4
إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةًۭ فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَـٰقُهُمْ لَهَا خَـٰضِعِينَ
﴿4﴾
26:4
If We willed, We could send down upon them a ˹compelling˺ sign from the heavens, leaving their necks bent in ˹utter˺ submission to it.
5
وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ
﴿5﴾
26:5
Whatever new reminder comes to them from the Most Compassionate, they always turn away from it.
6
فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنۢبَـٰٓؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ
﴿6﴾
26:6
They have certainly denied ˹the truth˺, so they will soon face the consequences of their ridicule.
7
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍۢ كَرِيمٍ
﴿7﴾
26:7
Have they failed to look at the earth, ˹to see˺ how many types of fine plants We have caused to grow in it?
8
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
﴿8﴾
26:8
Surely in this is a sign. Yet most of them would not believe.
9
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
﴿9﴾
26:9
And your Lord is certainly the Almighty, Most Merciful.
10
وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئْتِ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
﴿10﴾
26:10
˹Remember˺ when your Lord called out to Moses, “Go to the wrongdoing people—
11
قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ
﴿11﴾
26:11
the people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear ˹Allah˺?”
12
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ
﴿12﴾
26:12
He replied, “My Lord! I fear that they will reject me.
13
وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِى وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِى فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَـٰرُونَ
﴿13﴾
26:13
And ˹so˺ my heart will be broken and my tongue will be tied. So send Aaron along ˹as a messenger˺.
14
وَلَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنۢبٌۭ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ
﴿14﴾
26:14
Also, they have a charge against me,1 so I fear they may kill me.”
15
قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ فَٱذْهَبَا بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ ۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ
﴿15﴾
26:15
Allah responded, “Certainly not! So go, both of you, with Our signs. We will be with you, listening.
16
فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
﴿16﴾
26:16
Go to Pharaoh and say, ‘We are messengers from the Lord of all worlds,
17
أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
﴿17﴾
26:17
˹commanded to say:˺ ‘Let the Children of Israel go with us.’’”
18
قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًۭا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ
﴿18﴾
26:18
Pharaoh protested, “Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you stayed several years of your life in our care?
19
وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِى فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ
﴿19﴾
26:19
Then you did what you did,1 being ˹utterly˺ ungrateful!”
20
قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَآ إِذًۭا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ
﴿20﴾
26:20
Moses replied, “I did it then, lacking guidance.
21
فَفَرَرْتُ مِنكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِى رَبِّى حُكْمًۭا وَجَعَلَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
﴿21﴾
26:21
So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me wisdom and made me one of the messengers.
22
وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌۭ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
﴿22﴾
26:22
How can that be a ‘favour,’ of which you remind me, when ˹it was only because˺ you ˹have˺ enslaved the Children of Israel?”
23
قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
﴿23﴾
26:23
Pharaoh asked, “And what is ‘the Lord of all worlds’?”
24
قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ
﴿24﴾
26:24
Moses replied, “˹He is˺ the Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything in between, if only you had sure faith.”
25
قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ
﴿25﴾
26:25
Pharaoh said to those around him, “Did you hear ˹what he said˺?”
26
قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
﴿26﴾
26:26
Moses added, “˹He is˺ your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers.”
27
قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌۭ
﴿27﴾
26:27
Pharaoh said ˹mockingly˺, “Your messenger, who has been sent to you, must be insane.”
28
قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ
﴿28﴾
26:28
Moses responded: “˹He is˺ the Lord of the east and west, and everything in between, if only you had any sense.”
29
قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذْتَ إِلَـٰهًا غَيْرِى لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَسْجُونِينَ
﴿29﴾
26:29
Pharaoh threatened, “If you take any other god besides me, I will certainly have you imprisoned.”
30
قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَىْءٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ
﴿30﴾
26:30
Moses responded, “Even if I bring you a clear proof?”
