Verses 190–215

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ﴿١٩٠﴾

26:190There is indeed a sign in that; but most of them do not have faith.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ﴿١٩١﴾

26:191Indeed your Lord is the All-mighty, the All-merciful.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ﴿١٩٢﴾

26:192This is indeed [a Book] sent down by the Lord of all the worlds,

نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْأَمِينُ﴿١٩٣﴾

26:193brought down by the Trustworthy Spirit

عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ﴿١٩٤﴾

26:194upon your heart (so that you may be one of the warners),

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِىٍّۢ مُّبِينٍۢ﴿١٩٥﴾

26:195in a clear Arabic language.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِى زُبُرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ﴿١٩٦﴾

26:196It is indeed [foretold] in the scriptures of the ancients.

أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ ءَايَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَٰٓؤُا۟ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ﴿١٩٧﴾

26:197Is it not a sign for them that the learned of the Children of Israel recognize it?

وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ ٱلْأَعْجَمِينَ﴿١٩٨﴾

26:198Had We sent it down upon some non-Arab¹

فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنِينَ﴿١٩٩﴾

26:199and had he recited it to them, they would not have believed in it.

كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَٰهُ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ﴿٢٠٠﴾

26:200This is how We let it pass through the hearts of the guilty:

لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ﴿٢٠١﴾

26:201they do not believe in it until they sight the painful punishment.

فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةًۭ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ﴿٢٠٢﴾

26:202It will overtake them suddenly while they are unaware.

فَيَقُولُوا۟ هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ﴿٢٠٣﴾

26:203Thereupon they will say, ‘Shall we be granted any respite?’

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ﴿٢٠٤﴾

26:204So do they seek to hasten on Our punishment?

أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَٰهُمْ سِنِينَ﴿٢٠٥﴾

26:205Tell me, should We let them enjoy for some years,

ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ﴿٢٠٦﴾

26:206then there comes to them what they have been promised,

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُمَتَّعُونَ﴿٢٠٧﴾

26:207of what avail to them will be that which they were given to enjoy?

وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ﴿٢٠٨﴾

26:208We have not destroyed any town without its having warners,²

ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ﴿٢٠٩﴾

26:209for the sake of admonition, and We were not unjust.^*

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ﴿٢١٠﴾

26:210It has not been brought down by the devils.

وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ﴿٢١١﴾

26:211Neither does it behoove them, nor are they capable [of doing that].

إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ﴿٢١٢﴾

26:212Indeed, they are kept at bay [even] from hearing it.

فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُعَذَّبِينَ﴿٢١٣﴾

26:213So do not invoke any god besides Allah, lest you should be among the punished.

وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ﴿٢١٤﴾

26:214Warn the nearest of your kinsfolk,

وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ﴿٢١٥﴾

26:215and lower your wing to the faithful who follow you.³
