   تِلْكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ

   Tilka Aayaatul Kitaabil Mubeen

   These are the Verses of the manifest Book [(this Qur’ân), which was promised by Allâh in the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), makes things clear].

3. 3

   لَعَلَّكَ بَٰخِعٌۭ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ

   La'allaka baakhi'un nafsaka allaa yakoonoo mu'mineen

   It may be that you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) are going to kill yourself with grief, that they do not become believers [in your Risalah (Messengership) i.e. in your Message of Islâmic Monotheism].[1]

   (V.26:3) See the footnote of (V.3:85).

4. 4

   إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةًۭ فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَٰقُهُمْ لَهَا خَٰضِعِينَ

   In nashaa nunazzil 'alaihim minas samaaa'i Aayatan fazallat a'naaquhum lahaa khaadi'een

   If We will, We could send down to them from the heaven a sign, to which they would bend their necks in humility.

5. 5

   وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ

   Wa maa yaateehim min zikrim minar Rahmaani muhdasin illaa kaanoo 'anhu mu'rideen

   And never comes there unto them a Reminder as a recent revelation from the Most Gracious (Allâh), but they turn away therefrom.

6. 6

   فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنۢبَٰٓؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

   Faqad kazzaboo fasa yaateehim ambaaa'u maa kaanoo bihee yastahzi'oon

   So they have indeed denied (the truth - this Qur’ân), then the news of what they mocked at will come to them.

7. 7

   أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍۢ كَرِيمٍ

   Awa lam yaraw ilal ardi kam ambatnaa feehaa min kulli zawjin kareem

   Do they not observe the earth - how much of every good kind We cause to grow therein?

8. 8

   إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

   Inn fee zaalika la Aayah; wa maa kaana aksaruhum mu'mineen

   Verily, in this is an Ayâh (proof or sign), yet most of them (polytheists, pagans who do not believe in Resurrection) are not believers.

9. 9

   وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

    Fafarartu minkum lam maa khiftukum fawahaba lee Rabbee hukmanw wa ja'alanee minal mursaleen

    "So I fled from you when I feared you. But my Lord has granted me Hukm (i.e. religious knowledge, right judgement of the affairs and Prophethood), and made me one of the Messengers.

22. 22

    Fa jumi'as saharatu limeeqaati Yawmim ma'loom

    So the sorcerers were assembled at a fixed time on a day appointed.

39. 39

    وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ

    Wa qeela linnaasi hal antum mujtami'oon

    And it was said to the people: "Are you (too) going to assemble?

40. 40

    لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ

    La'allanaa nattabi'us saharata in kaanoo humul ghaalibeen

    "That we may follow the sorcerers [who were on Fir‘aun’s (Pharaoh) religion of disbelief] if they are the winners."

41. 41

    فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ

    Falammaa jaaa'as saharatu qaaloo li Fir'awna a'inna lanaa la ajjran in kunnaa nahnul ghaalibeen

    So when the sorcerers arrived, they said to Fir‘aun (Pharaoh): "Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners?"

    Qaala lahum Moosaaa alqoo maaa antum mulqoon

    Mûsâ (Moses) said to them: "Throw what you are going to throw!"

44. 44

    فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ

    Fa alqaw hibaalahum wa 'isiyyahum wa qaaloo bi'izzati Fir'awna innaa lanahnul ghaaliboon

    So they threw their ropes and their sticks, and said: "By the might of Fir‘aun (Pharaoh), it is we who will certainly win!"

45. 45

    "The Lord of Mûsâ (Moses) and Hârûn (Aaron)."

49. 49

    قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَٰفٍۢ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

    [Fir‘aun (Pharaoh)] said: "You have believed in him before I give you leave. Surely, he indeed is your chief, who has taught you magic! So verily, you shall come to know. Verily, I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you all."

50. 50

    قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ

    Qaaloo la daira innaaa ilaa Rabbinaa munqalliboon

    They said: "No harm! Surely, to our Lord (Allâh) we are to return.

    Innaa natma'u ai yaghfira lanaa Rabbunna khataa yaanaaa an kunnaaa awwalal mu'mineen

    "Verily we really hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins, as we are the first of the believers [in Mûsâ (Moses) and in the Monotheism which he has brought from Allâh]."

52. 52

    ۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

    Wa awhainaaa ilaa Moosaaa an asri bi'ibaadeee innakum muttaba'oon

    And We revealed to Mûsâ (Moses), saying: "Depart by night with My slaves, verily you will be pursued."

    فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ

    Fa arsala Fir'awnu filmadaaa'ini haashireen

    Then Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) sent callers to (all) the cities.

    Wa innahum lanaa laghaaa'izoon

    "And verily, they have done what has enraged us.

56. 56

    Wa innaa lajamee'un haaziroon

    "But we are a host all assembled, amply fore-warned."

57. 57

    فَأَخْرَجْنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ

    Fa akhrajnaahum min Jannaatinw wa 'uyoon

    So, We expelled them from gardens and springs,

    Wa kunoozinw wa ma qaamin kareem

    Treasures, and every kind of honourable place.

    كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

    Kazaalika wa awrasnaahaa Baneee Israaa'eel

    Thus [We turned them (Pharaoh’s people) out] and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them.

60. 60

    فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ

    Fa atba'oohum mushriqeen

    So they pursued them at sunrise.

61. 61

    فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ

    Falammaa taraaa'al jam'aani qaala as haabu Moosaaa innaa lamudrakoon

    And when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Mûsâ (Moses) said: "We are sure to be overtaken."

62. 62

    قَالَ كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ

    Qaala kallaaa inna ma'iya Rabbee sa yahdeen

    [Mûsâ (Moses)] said: "Nay, verily with me is my Lord. He will guide me."

63. 63

    Fa awhainaaa ilaa Moosaaa anidrib bi'asaakal bahra fanfalaqa fakaana kullu firqin kattawdil 'azeem

    Then We revealed to Mûsâ (Moses) (saying): "Strike the sea with your stick." And it parted, and each separate part (of that sea water) became like huge mountain.

64. 64

    وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ

    Wa azlafnaa sammal aakhareen

    Then We brought near the others [Fir‘aun’s (Pharaoh) party] to that place.

65. 65

    وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ

    Wa anjainaa Moosaa wa mam ma'ahooo ajma'een

66. 66

    ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ

    Summa aghraqnal aakhareen

    Then We drowned the others.

     Wa maa yambaghee lahum wa maa yastatee'oon

     Neither would it suit them, nor they can (produce it).

     Wa anzir 'asheeratakal aqrabeen

     And warn your tribe (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) of near kindred.[1]

     (V.26:214) Narrated Ibn ‘Abbâs رضي الله عنهما: When the Verse: "And warn your tribe (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) of near kindred." (V.26:214) was revealed, Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم went out, and when he had ascended As-Safa mountain, he shouted, "Yâ Sabâhâh!*" The people said, "Who is that?" "Then they gathered around him, whereupon he said, "Do you see? If I inform you that cavalrymen are proceeding up the side of this mountain, will you believe me?" They said, "We have never heard you telling a lie." Then he said, "I am a plain warner to you of a coming severe punishment." Abû Lahab said: "May you perish! You gathered us only for this reason?" Then Abû Lahab went away. So Sûrat Al-Masad "Perish the hands of Abû Lahab!" (V.111:1) was revealed. (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.6, Hadîth No.495). * "Yâ Sabâhâh!" is an Arabic expression used when one appeals for help or draws the attention of others to some danger.

     Alam tara annahum fee kulli waadiny yaheemoon

     See you not that they speak about every subject (praising people - right or wrong) in their poetry?

226. 226

     Wa annahum yaqooloona ma laa yaf'aloon

     And that they say what they do not do.

     Except those who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism) and do righteous deeds, and remember Allâh much, and vindicate themselves after they have been wronged [by replying back in poetry to the unjust poetry (which the pagan poets utter against the Muslims)]. And those who do wrong will come to know by what overturning they will be overturned.
