These are verses of the Book that makes (things) clear.
26-3
It may be thou frettest thy soul with grief, that they do not become Believers.
26-4
If (such) were Our Will, We could send down to them from the sky a Sign, to which they would bend their necks in humility.
26-5
But there comes not to them a newly-revealed Message from (God) Most Gracious, but they turn away therefrom.
26-6
They have indeed rejected (the Message): so they will know soon (enough) the truth of what they mocked at!
26-7
Do they not look at the earth,- how many noble things of all kinds We have produced therein?
26-8
Verily, in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.
26-9
And verily, thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
26-10
Behold, thy Lord called Moses: "Go to the people of iniquity,-
26-11
"The people of the Pharaoh: will they not fear God?"
26-12
He said: "O my Lord! I do fear that they will charge me with falsehood:
26-13
"My breast will be straitened. And my speech may not go (smoothly): so send unto Aaron.
26-14
"And (further), they have a charge of crime against me; and I fear they may slay me."
26-15
God said: "By no means! proceed then, both of you, with Our Signs; We are with you, and will listen (to your call).
26-16
"So go forth, both of you, to Pharaoh, and say: 'We have been sent by the Lord and Cherisher of the worlds;
26-17
"'Send thou with us the Children of Israel.'"
26-18
(Pharaoh) said: "Did we not cherish thee as a child among us, and didst thou not stay in our midst many years of thy life?
26-19
"And thou didst a deed of thine which (thou knowest) thou didst, and thou art an ungrateful (wretch)!"
26-20
Moses said: "I did it then, when I was in error.
26-21
"So I fled from you (all) when I feared you; but my Lord has (since) invested me with judgment (and wisdom) and appointed me as one of the apostles.
26-22
"And this is the favour with which thou dost reproach me,- that thou hast enslaved the Children of Israel!"
26-23
Pharaoh said: "And what is the 'Lord and Cherisher of the worlds'?"
26-24
(Moses) said: "The Lord and Cherisher of the heavens and the earth, and all between,- if ye want to be quite sure."
26-25
(Pharaoh) said to those around: "Did ye not listen (to what he says)?"
26-26
(Moses) said: "Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers from the beginning!"
26-27
(Pharaoh) said: "Truly your apostle who has been sent to you is a veritable madman!"
26-28
(Moses) said: "Lord of the East and the West, and all between! if ye only had sense!"
26-29
(Pharaoh) said: "If thou dost put forward any god other than me, I will certainly put thee in prison!"
26-30
(Moses) said: "Even if I showed you something clear (and) convincing?"
26-31
(Pharaoh) said: "Show it then, if thou tellest the truth!"
26-32
So (Moses) threw his rod, and behold, it was a serpent, plain (for all to see)!
26-33
And he drew out his hand, and behold, it was white to all beholders!
26-34
(Pharaoh) said to the Chiefs around him: "This is indeed a sorcerer well- versed:
26-35
"His plan is to get you out of your land by his sorcery; then what is it ye counsel?"
26-36
They said: "Keep him and his brother in suspense (for a while), and dispatch to the Cities heralds to collect-
26-37
"And bring up to thee all (our) sorcerers well-versed."
26-38
So the sorcerers were got together for the appointment of a day well-known,
26-39
And the people were told: "Are ye (now) assembled?-
26-40
"That we may follow the sorcerers (in religion) if they win?"
26-41
So when the sorcerers arrived, they said to Pharaoh: "Of course - shall we have a (suitable) reward if we win?
26-42
He said: "Yea, (and more),- for ye shall in that case be (raised to posts) nearest (to my person)."
26-43
Moses said to them: "Throw ye - that which ye are about to throw!"
26-44
So they threw their ropes and their rods, and said: "By the might of Pharaoh, it is we who will certainly win!"
26-45
Then Moses threw his rod, when, behold, it straightway swallows up all the falsehoods which they fake!
26-46
Then did the sorcerers fall down, prostrate in adoration,
26-47
Saying: "We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,
26-48
"The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
26-49
Said (Pharaoh): "Believe ye in Him before I give you permission? surely he is your leader, who has taught you sorcery! but soon shall ye know! "Be sure I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will cause you all to die on the cross!"
26-50
They said: "No matter! for us, we shall but return to our Lord!
26-51
"Only, our desire is that our Lord will forgive us our faults, that we may become foremost among the believers!"
26-52
By inspiration we told Moses: "Travel by night with my servants; for surely ye shall be pursued."
26-53
Then Pharaoh sent heralds to (all) the Cities,
26-54
(Saying): "These (Israelites) are but a small band,
26-55
"And they are raging furiously against us;
26-56
"But we are a multitude amply fore-warned."
26-57
So We expelled them from gardens, springs,
26-58
Treasures, and every kind of honourable position;
26-59
Thus it was, but We made the Children of Israel inheritors of such things.
26-60
So they pursued them at sunrise.
26-61
And when the two bodies saw each other, the people of Moses said: "We are sure to be overtaken."
26-62
(Moses) said: "By no means! my Lord is with me! Soon will He guide me!"
26-63
Then We told Moses by inspiration: "Strike the sea with thy rod." So it divided, and each separate part became like the huge, firm mass of a mountain.
26-64
And We made the other party approach thither.
26-65
We delivered Moses and all who were with him;
26-66
But We drowned the others.
26-67
Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.
26-68
And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
26-69
And rehearse to them (something of) Abraham's story.
26-70
Behold, he said to his father and his people: "What worship ye?"
26-71
They said: "We worship idols, and we remain constantly in attendance on them."
26-72
He said: "Do they listen to you when ye call (on them), or do you good or harm?
26-73
Or do you good or harm?"
26-74
They said: "Nay, but we found our fathers doing thus (what we do)."
26-75
He said: "Do ye then see whom ye have been worshipping,-
26-76
"Ye and your fathers before you?-
26-77
"For they are enemies to me; not so the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds;
26-78
"Who created me, and it is He Who guides me;
26-79
"Who gives me food and drink,
26-80
"And when I am ill, it is He Who cures me;
26-81
"Who will cause me to die, and then to life (again);
26-82
"And who, I hope, will forgive me my faults on the day of Judgment.
26-83
"O my Lord! bestow wisdom on me, and join me with the righteous;
26-84
"Grant me honourable mention on the tongue of truth among the latest (generations);
26-85
"Make me one of the inheritors of the Garden of Bliss;
26-86
"Forgive my father, for that he is among those astray;
26-87
"And let me not be in disgrace on the Day when (men) will be raised up;-
26-88
"The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail,
26-89
"But only he (will prosper) that brings to God a sound heart;
26-90
"To the righteous, the Garden will be brought near,
26-91
"And to those straying in Evil, the Fire will be placed in full view;
26-92
"And it shall be said to them: 'Where are the (gods) ye worshipped-
26-93
"'Besides God? Can they help you or help themselves?'
26-94
"Then they will be thrown headlong into the (Fire),- they and those straying in Evil,
26-95
"And the whole hosts of Iblis together.
26-96
"They will say there in their mutual bickerings:
26-97
"'By God, we were truly in an error manifest,
26-98
"'When we held you as equals with the Lord of the Worlds;
26-99
"'And our seducers were only those who were steeped in guilt.
26-100
"'Now, then, we have none to intercede (for us),
26-101
"'Nor a single friend to feel (for us).
26-102
"'Now if we only had a chance of return we shall truly be of those who believe!'"
26-103
Verily in this is a Sign but most of them do not believe.
26-104
And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
26-105
The people of Noah rejected the apostles.
26-106
Behold, their brother Noah said to them: "Will ye not fear (God)?
26-107
"I am to you an apostle worthy of all trust:
26-108
"So fear God, and obey me.
26-109
"No reward do I ask of you for it: my reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds:
26-110
"So fear God, and obey me."
26-111
They said: "Shall we believe in thee when it is the meanest that follow thee?"
26-112
He said: "And what do I know as to what they do?
26-113
"Their account is only with my Lord, if ye could (but) understand.
