Sahih International

Ṭā, Seen, Meem.1

Sahih International

These are the verses of the clear Book.

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.1

Sahih International

And no mention [i.e., revelation] comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allāh?"

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers1 of the Lord of the worlds,

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

And [then] you did your deed which you did,1 and you were of the ungrateful."

Sahih International

[Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray [i.e., ignorant].

Sahih International

So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me judgement [i.e., wisdom and prophet hood] and appointed me [as one] of the messengers.

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

[Pharaoh] said,1 "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad."

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

[Moses] said, "Even if I brought you something [i.e., proof] manifest?"

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest.1

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician."

Sahih International

So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day.1

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw."

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allāh].

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

The Lord of Moses and Aaron."

Sahih International

[Pharaoh] said, "You believed him [i.e., 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."

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers1

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

And indeed, they are enraging us,

Sahih International

And indeed, we are a cautious society..."

Sahih International

So We removed them from gardens and springs

Sahih International

And treasures and honorable station1 -

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

So they pursued them at sunrise.

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

And We advanced thereto the others [i.e., the pursuers].

Sahih International

And We saved Moses and those with him, all together.

Sahih International

Then We drowned the others.

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

And recite to them the news of Abraham,

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

He said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate?

Sahih International

Or do they benefit you, or do they harm?"

Sahih International

They said, "But we found our fathers doing thus."

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

You and your ancient forefathers?

Sahih International

Indeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds,1

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

And it is He who feeds me and gives me drink.

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

And grant me a mention [i.e., reputation] of honor among later generations.

Sahih International

And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Pleasure.

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

But only one who comes to Allāh with a sound heart."

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

And Hellfire will be brought forth for the deviators,

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

Other than Allāh? Can they help you or help themselves?"

Sahih International

So they will be overturned into it [i.e., Hellfire], they and the deviators

Sahih International

And the soldiers of Iblees, all together.

Sahih International

They will say while they dispute therein,

Sahih International

"By Allāh, we were indeed in manifest error

Sahih International

When we equated you with the Lord of the worlds.

Sahih International

And no one misguided us except the criminals.

Sahih International

So now we have no intercessors

Sahih International

And not a devoted friend.

Sahih International

Then if we only had a return [to the world] and could be of the believers..."1

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

The people of Noah denied the messengers1

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

Sahih International

So fear Allāh and obey me.

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

So fear Allāh and obey me."

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

And I am not one to drive away the believers.

Sahih International

I am only a clear warner."

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

Then We drowned thereafter the remaining ones.

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

ʿAad denied the messengers

Sahih International

When their brother Hūd said to them, "Will you not fear Allāh?

Sahih International

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

Sahih International

So fear Allāh and obey me.

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

Do you construct on every elevation a sign,1 amusing yourselves,

Sahih International

And take for yourselves constructions [i.e., palaces and fortresses] that you might abide eternally?

Sahih International

And when you strike, you strike as tyrants.

Sahih International

So fear Allāh and obey me.

Sahih International

And fear He who provided you with that which you know,

Sahih International

Provided you with grazing livestock and children

Sahih International

And gardens and springs.

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

This is not but the custom of the former peoples,

Sahih International

And we are not to be punished."

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

Thamūd denied the messengers

Sahih International

When their brother Ṣāliḥ said to them, "Will you not fear Allāh?

Sahih International

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

Sahih International

So fear Allāh and obey me.

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

Within gardens and springs

Sahih International

And fields of crops and palm trees with softened fruit?

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

So fear Allāh and obey me.

Sahih International

And do not obey the order of the transgressors,

Sahih International

Who cause corruption in the land and do not amend."

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

He said, "This is a she-camel.1 For her is a [time of] drink, and for you is a [time of] drink, [each] on a known day.

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

But they hamstrung her and so became regretful.

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

The people of Lot denied the messengers

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

Sahih International

So fear Allāh and obey me.

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

Do you approach males among the worlds1

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

So We saved him and his family, all,

Sahih International

Except an old woman1 among those who remained behind.

Sahih International

Then We destroyed the others.

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

The companions of the thicket [i.e., the people of Madyan] denied the messengers

Sahih International

When Shuʿayb said to them, "Will you not fear Allāh?

Sahih International

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

Sahih International

So fear Allāh and obey me.

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

And weigh with an even [i.e., honest] balance.

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

And fear He who created you and the former creation."1

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

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.
