Ta, Seen, Meem

2

These are the verses of the clear Book

3

Perhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers

4

If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled

5

And no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it

6

For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule

7

Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind

8

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers

9

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful

10

And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people

11

The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allah

12

He said, "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me

13

And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron

14

And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me

15

[Allah] said, "No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening

16

Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds

17

[Commanded to say], "Send with us the Children of Israel

18

[Pharaoh] said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life

19

And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful

20

[Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray

21

So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me wisdom and prophethood and appointed me [as one] of the messengers

22

And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel

23

Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds

24

[Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced

25

[Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear

26

[Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers

27

[Pharaoh] said, "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad

28

[Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason

29

[Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned

30

[Moses] said, "Even if I brought you proof manifest

31

[Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful

32

So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest

33

And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers

34

[Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician

35

He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise

36

They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers

37

Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician

38

So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day

39

And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate

40

That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant

41

And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant

42

He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]

43

Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw

44

So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant

45

Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified

46

So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah]

47

They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds

48

The Lord of Moses and Aaron

49

[Pharaoh] said, "You believed Moses before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all

50

They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return

51

Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers

52

And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued

53

Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers

54

[And said], "Indeed, those are but a small band

55

And indeed, they are enraging us

56

And indeed, we are a cautious society

57

So We removed them from gardens and springs

58

And treasures and honorable station

59

Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel

60

So they pursued them at sunrise

61

And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken

62

[Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me

63

Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain

64

And We advanced thereto the pursuers

65

And We saved Moses and those with him, all together

66

Then We drowned the others

67

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers

68

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful

69

And recite to them the news of Abraham

70

When he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship

71

They said, "We worship idols and remain to them devoted

72

He said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate

73

Or do they benefit you, or do they harm

74

They said, "But we found our fathers doing thus

75

He said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping

76

You and your ancient forefathers

77

Indeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds

78

Who created me, and He [it is who] guides me

79

And it is He who feeds me and gives me drink

80

And when I am ill, it is He who cures me

81

And who will cause me to die and then bring me to life

82

And who I aspire that He will forgive me my sin on the Day of Recompense

83

[And he said], "My Lord, grant me authority and join me with the righteous

84

And grant me a reputation of honor among later generations

85

And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Pleasure

86

And forgive my father. Indeed, he has been of those astray

87

And do not disgrace me on the Day they are [all] resurrected

88

The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children

89

But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart

90

And Paradise will be brought near [that Day] to the righteous

91

And Hellfire will be brought forth for the deviators

92

And it will be said to them, "Where are those you used to worship

93

Other than Allah? Can they help you or help themselves

94

So they will be overturned into Hellfire, they and the deviators

95

And the soldiers of Iblees, all together

96

They will say while they dispute therein

97

By Allah, we were indeed in manifest error

98

When we equated you with the Lord of the worlds

99

And no one misguided us except the criminals

100

So now we have no intercessors

101

And not a devoted friend

102

Then if we only had a return [to the world] and could be of the believers

103

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers

104

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful

105

The people of Noah denied the messengers

106

When their brother Noah said to them, "Will you not fear Allah

107

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger

108

So fear Allah and obey me

109

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds

110

So fear Allah and obey me

111

They said, "Should we believe you while you are followed by the lowest [class of people]

112

He said, "And what is my knowledge of what they used to do

113

Their account is only upon my Lord, if you [could] perceive

114

And I am not one to drive away the believers

115

I am only a clear warner

116

They said, "If you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be of those who are stoned

117

He said, "My Lord, indeed my people have denied me

118

Then judge between me and them with decisive judgement and save me and those with me of the believers

119

So We saved him and those with him in the laden ship

120

Then We drowned thereafter the remaining ones

121

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers

122

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful

123

Aad denied the messengers

124

When their brother Hud said to them, "Will you not fear Allah

125

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger

126

So fear Allah and obey me

127

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds

128

Do you construct on every elevation a sign, amusing yourselves

129

And take for yourselves palaces and fortresses that you might abide eternally

130

And when you strike, you strike as tyrants

131

So fear Allah and obey me

132

And fear He who provided you with that which you know

133

Provided you with grazing livestock and children

134

And gardens and springs

135

Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day

136

They said, "It is all the same to us whether you advise or are not of the advisors

137

This is not but the custom of the former peoples

138

And we are not to be punished

139

And they denied him, so We destroyed them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers

140

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful

141

Thamud denied the messengers

142

When their brother Salih said to them, "Will you not fear Allah

143

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger

144

So fear Allah and obey me

145

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds

146

Will you be left in what is here, secure [from death]

147

Within gardens and springs

148

And fields of crops and palm trees with softened fruit

149

And you carve out of the mountains, homes, with skill

150

So fear Allah and obey me

151

And do not obey the order of the transgressors

152

Who cause corruption in the land and do not amend

153

They said, "You are only of those affected by magic

154

You are but a man like ourselves, so bring a sign, if you should be of the truthful

155

He said, "This is a she-camel. For her is a [time of] drink, and for you is a [time of] drink, [each] on a known day

156

And do not touch her with harm, lest you be seized by the punishment of a terrible day

157

But they hamstrung her and so became regretful

158

And the punishment seized them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers

159

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful

160

The people of Lot denied the messengers

161

When their brother Lot said to them, "Will you not fear Allah

162

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger

163

So fear Allah and obey me

164

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds

165

Do you approach males among the worlds

166

And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing

167

They said, "If you do not desist, O Lot, you will surely be of those evicted

168

He said, "Indeed, I am, toward your deed, of those who detest [it]

169

My Lord, save me and my family from [the consequence of] what they do

170

So We saved him and his family, all

171

Except an old woman among those who remained behind

172

Then We destroyed the others

173

And We rained upon them a rain [of stones], and evil was the rain of those who were warned

174

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers

175

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful

176

The companions of the thicket denied the messengers

177

When Shu'ayb said to them, "Will you not fear Allah

178

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger

179

So fear Allah and obey me

180

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds

181

Give full measure and do not be of those who cause loss

182

And weigh with an even balance

183

And do not deprive people of their due and do not commit abuse on earth, spreading corruption

184

And fear He who created you and the former creation

185

They said, "You are only of those affected by magic

186

You are but a man like ourselves, and indeed, we think you are among the liars

187

So cause to fall upon us fragments of the sky, if you should be of the truthful

188

He said, "My Lord is most knowing of what you do

189

And they denied him, so the punishment of the day of the black cloud seized them. Indeed, it was the punishment of a terrible day

190

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers

191

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful

192

And indeed, the Qur'an is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds

193

The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down

194

Upon your heart, [O Muhammad] - that you may be of the warners

195

In a clear Arabic language

196

And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples

197

And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel

198

And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners

199

And he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it

200

Thus have We inserted disbelief into the hearts of the criminals

201

They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment

202

And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not

203

And they will say, "May we be reprieved

204

So for Our punishment are they impatient

205

Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years

206

And then there came to them that which they were promised

207

They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided

208

And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners

209

As a reminder; and never have We been unjust

210

And the devils have not brought the revelation down

211

It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able

212

Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed

213

So do not invoke with Allah another deity and [thus] be among the punished

214

And warn, [O Muhammad], your closest kindred

215

And lower your wing to those who follow you of the believers

216

And if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing

217

And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful

218

Who sees you when you arise

219

And your movement among those who prostrate

220

Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing

221

Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend

222

They descend upon every sinful liar

223

They pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars

224

And the poets - [only] the deviators follow them

225

Do you not see that in every valley they roam

226

And that they say what they do not do

227

Except those [poets] who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allah often and defend [the Muslims] after they were wronged. And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned
