$ Lot warns his homosexual nation 26:165-169
26:165 What, do you come to the males of the world,
# أَتَأْتُونَ الذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ العَالَمِينَ 165
26:166 and leave your wives whom your Lord has created for you? No, but you are a transgressing nation.’
# وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَاجِكُم بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ عَادُونَ 166
26:167 ‘Lot,’ they replied, ‘if you do not desist, you shall be thrown out.’
# قَالُوا لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَا لُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ المُخْرَجِينَ 167
26:168 He said, ‘Truly, I am a detester of what you do.’
# قَالَ إِنِّي لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ القَالِينَ 168
$ Lot is saved from his nation 26:169-175
26:169 ‘My Lord, save me and my people from that they are doing.’
# رَبِّ نَجِّنِي وَأَهْلِي مِمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ 169
26:170 So We saved him and all his people,
# فَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ أَجْمَعِينَ 170
26:171 except an old woman who stayed behind,
# إِلاَّ عَجُوزاً فِي الغَابِرِينَ 171
26:172 then We destroyed the others.
# ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا الآخَرِينَ 172
26:173 We rained upon them a rain, and evil is the rain (of stones) on those that are warned.
# وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَراً فَسَاءَ مَطَرُ المُنذَرِينَ 173
26:174 Surely, in that there is a sign. Yet most of them do not believe.
# إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ 174
26:175 Your Lord, He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
# وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ العَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ 175
|@ The story of Prophet Shu’aib and the dwellers of the Thicket 26:176-195
26:176 The dwellers of the Thicket belied their Messengers.
# كَذَّبَ أَصْحَابُ الأَيْكَةِ المُرْسَلِينَ 176
26:177 Shu’aib said to them, ‘Will you not be cautious?
# إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ شُعَيْبٌ أَلاَ تَتَّقُونَ 177
26:178 I am for you an honest Messenger.
# إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ 178
26:179 So fear Allah, and obey me.
# فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ 179
26:180 I ask of you no wage for this; my wage is only with the Lord of the Worlds.
# وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلاَّ عَلَى رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ 180
$ Shu’aib warns his people to trade with fairness 26:181-196
26:181 Fill up the measure, do not be among the cheats,
# أَوْفُوا الكَيْلَ وَلاَ تَكُونُوا مِنَ المُخْسِرِينَ 181
26:182 and weigh with the straight scale,
# وَزِنُوا بِالْقِسْطَاسِ المُسْتَقِيمِ 182
26:183 and do not diminish the goods of the people, and do not make mischief in the earth, working corruption.
# وَلاَ تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ أَشْيَاءَهُمْ وَلاَ تَعْثَوْا فِي الأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ 183
26:184 Fear He who created you, and the generations of the ancient.’
# وَاتَّقُوا الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ وَالْجِبِلَّةَ الأَوَّلِينَ 184
26:185 They replied, ‘You are surely one of those bewitched.
# قَالُوا إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مِنَ المُسَحَّرِينَ 185
26:186 You are but a human like ourselves, we think that you are one of the liars.
# وَمَا أَنْتَ إِلاَّ بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ الكَاذِبِينَ 186
26:187 Drop down on us lumps from heaven, if you are one of the truthful.’
# فَأَسْقِطْ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفاً مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ 187
26:188 He said, ‘My Lord knows what you are doing.’
# قَالَ رَبِّي أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ 188
26:189 But they belied him, then the punishment of the Day of Shadow (raining fire) seized them. Truly, it was the punishment of a dreadful day.
# فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ الظُّلَّةِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ 189
26:190 Surely, in that there is a sign; yet most of them do not believe.
# إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ 190
26:191 Your Lord, He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
# وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ العَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ 191
26:192 Truly, it is the sending of the Lord of the Worlds.
# وَإِنَّهُ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ 192
26:193 The honest Spirit (Gabriel) brought it down
# نَزَلَ بِهِ الرُّوحُ الأَمِينُ 193
26:194 upon your heart (Prophet Muhammad), in order to be one of the warners,
# عَلَى قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ المُنذِرِينَ 194
26:195 in a clear, Arabic tongue.
# بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِيٍّ مُّبِينٍ 195
|@ The Children of Israel reject Prophet Muhammad although he was mentioned in their scriptures 26:196-213
26:196 Truly, it is in the Books of the ancients.
# وَإِنَّهُ لَفِي زُبُرِ الأَوَّلِينَ 196
26:197 Was it not a sign for them known to the learned of the Children of Israel?
# أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ آيَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُ عُلَمَاءُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ 197
26:198 If We had revealed it to a non-Arab,
# وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَاهُ عَلَى بَعْضِ الأَعْجَمِينَ 198
26:199 and he had recited it to them, they would not have believed.
# فَقَرَأَهُ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا بِهِ مُؤْمِنِينَ 199
26:200 Even so, We have caused it to enter into the hearts of harm doers;
# كَذَلِكَ سَلَكْنَاهُ فِي قُلُوبِ المُجْرِمِينَ 200
26:201 they shall not believe in it until they see the painful punishment
# لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ حَتَّى يَرَوُا العَذَابَ الأَلِيمَ 201
26:202 so that it will come upon them suddenly, while they are unaware,
# فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لاَ يَشْعُرُونَ 202
26:203 and then they will say, ‘Shall we be respited?’
# فَيَقُولُوا هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ 203
26:204 Do they wish to hasten Our punishment?
# أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ 204
26:205 What do you see? If We gave them enjoyment for years,
# أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَاهُمْ سِنِينَ 205
26:206 and then what they were promised comes to them,
# ثُمَّ جَاءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا يُوعَدُونَ 206
26:207 what avail will their past enjoyments be to them?
# مَا أَغْنَى عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يُمَتَّعُونَ 207
26:208 We never destroyed a village that did not have warners
# وَمَا أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلاَّ لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ 208
26:209 for a reminder, and We never harmed.
# ذِكْرَى وَمَا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ 209
26:210 It was not the satans who brought it down;
# وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ الشَّيَاطِينُ 210
26:211 it is not for them, nor are they able.
# وَمَا يَنْبَغِي لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ 211
26:212 Truly, they are expelled from hearing.
# إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ 212
26:213 So do not call upon another god with Allah, lest you should be one of those who are punished.
# فَلاَ تَدْعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهاً آخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ المُعَذَّبِينَ 213
|@ Allah orders Prophet Muhammad to start preaching to his tribe and family 26:214-220
26:214 Warn your tribe and your near kinsmen.
# وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الأَقْرَبِينَ 214
26:215 and lower your wing to the believers who follow you.
# وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ المُؤْمِنِينَ 215
26:216 If they disobey you, say, ‘I am quit of what you do.’
# فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ 216
26:217 Put your trust in the Almighty, the Most Merciful,
# وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى العَزِيزِ الرَّحِيمِ 217
26:218 who sees you when you stand
# الَّذِي يَرَاكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ 218
26:219 and when you turn among those who prostrate themselves.
# وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِي السَّاجِدِينَ 219
26:220 Surely, He is the Hearer, the Knower.
# إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ العَلِيمُ 220
|@ Those upon whom the satans descend 26:221-223
26:221 Shall I tell you on whom the satans descend?
# هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَى مَن تَنَزَّلُ الشَّيَاطِينُ 221
26:222 They descend on every guilty impostor.
# تَنَزَّلُ عَلَى كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ 222
26:223 They listen, but most of them are liars.
# يُلْقُونَ السَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَاذِبُونَ 223
|@ Poetry other than that in praise of Allah and His Prophet 26:224-227
26:224 Poets are followed by the perverse.
# وَالشُّعَرَاءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الغَاوُونَ 224
26:225 Have you not seen how they wander in every valley,
# أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِي كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ 225
26:226 and they say what they do not do?
# وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لاَ يَفْعَلُونَ 226
26:227 Except those who believe, and do good works and remember Allah in abundance and became victorious after they had been wronged. The wrongdoers will surely know which turn they will be returning to (Hell).
# إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيراً وَانتَصَرُوا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا وَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ 227
