Ash-Shu'ara 26:61–90

26:61Page 370

فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِ قَالَ أَصۡحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدۡرَكُونَ ٦١

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

26:62Page 370

قَالَ كـَلَّآۖ إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ ٦٢

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

26:63Page 370

فَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضۡرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرۡقٖ كَٱلطَّوۡدِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ٦٣

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

26:64–66Page 370

وَأَزۡلَفۡنَا ثَمَّ ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ ٦٤

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

وَأَنجَيۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ ٦٥

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

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ ٦٦

Then We drowned the others.

26:67Page 370

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ ٦٧

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

26:68Page 370

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٦٨

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

26:69–70Page 370

وَٱتۡلُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ نَبَأَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٦٩

And recite to them the news of Abraham,

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَا تَعۡبُدُونَ ٧٠

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

26:71Page 370

قَالُواْ نَعۡبُدُ أَصۡنَامٗا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَٰكِفِينَ ٧١

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

26:72–73Page 370

قَالَ هَلۡ يَسۡمَعُونَكُمۡ إِذۡ تَدۡعُونَ ٧٢

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

أَوۡ يَنفَعُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ يَضُرُّونَ ٧٣

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

26:74Page 370

قَالُواْ بَلۡ وَجَدۡنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفۡعَلُونَ ٧٤

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

26:75–82Page 370

قَالَ أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُونَ ٧٥

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

أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلۡأَقۡدَمُونَ ٧٦

You and your ancient forefathers?

فَإِنَّهُمۡ عَدُوّٞ لِّيٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٧٧

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

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَهُوَ يَهۡدِينِ ٧٨

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

وَٱلَّذِي هُوَ يُطۡعِمُنِي وَيَسۡقِينِ ٧٩

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

وَإِذَا مَرِضۡتُ فَهُوَ يَشۡفِينِ ٨٠

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

وَٱلَّذِي يُمِيتُنِي ثُمَّ يُحۡيِينِ ٨١

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

وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَطۡمَعُ أَن يَغۡفِرَ لِي خَطِيٓـَٔتِي يَوۡمَ ٱلدِّينِ ٨٢

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

26:83Page 370

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي حُكۡمٗا وَأَلۡحِقۡنِي بِٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ٨٣

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

26:84Page 371

وَٱجۡعَل لِّي لِسَانَ صِدۡقٖ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ ٨٤

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

26:85Page 371

وَٱجۡعَلۡنِي مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ٨٥

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

26:86Page 371

وَٱغۡفِرۡ لِأَبِيٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ٨٦

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

26:87–89Page 371

وَلَا تُخۡزِنِي يَوۡمَ يُبۡعَثُونَ ٨٧

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

يَوۡمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٞ وَلَا بَنُونَ ٨٨

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

إِلَّا مَنۡ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٖ ٨٩

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

26:90Page 371

وَأُزۡلِفَتِ ٱلۡجَنَّةُ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ ٩٠

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