Ash-Shu'ara 26:91–120

26:91Page 371

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلۡجَحِيمُ لِلۡغَاوِينَ ٩١

And Hellfire will be brought forth for the deviators,

26:92–93Page 371

وَقِيلَ لَهُمۡ أَيۡنَ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُونَ ٩٢

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

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلۡ يَنصُرُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ يَنتَصِرُونَ ٩٣

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

26:94–95Page 371

فَكُبۡكِبُواْ فِيهَا هُمۡ وَٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ ٩٤

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

وَجُنُودُ إِبۡلِيسَ أَجۡمَعُونَ ٩٥

And the soldiers of Iblees, all together.

26:96Page 371

قَالُواْ وَهُمۡ فِيهَا يَخۡتَصِمُونَ ٩٦

They will say while they dispute therein,

26:97–99Page 371

تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٍ ٩٧

"By Allāh, we were indeed in manifest error

إِذۡ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٩٨

When we equated you with the Lord of the worlds.

وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ ٩٩

And no one misguided us except the criminals.

26:100–101Page 371

فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَٰفِعِينَ ١٠٠

So now we have no intercessors

وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٖ ١٠١

And not a devoted friend.

26:102Page 371

فَلَوۡ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةٗ فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ١٠٢

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

26:103–104Page 371

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ ١٠٣

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

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ١٠٤

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

26:105Page 371

كَذَّبَتۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٍ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ ١٠٥

The people of Noah denied the messengers¹

26:106–110Page 371

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ١٠٦

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

إِنِّي لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٞ ١٠٧

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ١٠٨

So fear Allāh and obey me.

وَمَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ١٠٩

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

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ١١٠

So fear Allāh and obey me."

26:111Page 371

۞ قَالُوٓاْ أَنُؤۡمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلۡأَرۡذَلُونَ ١١١

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

26:112Page 372

قَالَ وَمَا عِلۡمِي بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ١١٢

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

26:113Page 372

إِنۡ حِسَابُهُمۡ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّيۖ لَوۡ تَشۡعُرُونَ ١١٣

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

26:114–115Page 372

وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ١١٤

And I am not one to drive away the believers.

إِنۡ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٞ ١١٥

I am only a clear warner."

26:116Page 372

قَالُواْ لَئِن لَّمۡ تَنتَهِ يَٰنُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمَرۡجُومِينَ ١١٦

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

26:117Page 372

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوۡمِي كَذَّبُونِ ١١٧

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

26:118Page 372

فَٱفۡتَحۡ بَيۡنِي وَبَيۡنَهُمۡ فَتۡحٗا وَنَجِّنِي وَمَن مَّعِيَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ١١٨

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

26:119Page 372

فَأَنجَيۡنَٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِي ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ ١١٩

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

26:120Page 372

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا بَعۡدُ ٱلۡبَاقِينَ ١٢٠

Then We drowned thereafter the remaining ones.
