Verses 91–117

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَ﴿٩١﴾

26:91and hell will be brought into view for the perverse,

وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ﴿٩٢﴾

26:92and they shall be told: ‘Where is that which you used to worship

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلْ يَنصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنتَصِرُونَ﴿٩٣﴾

26:93besides Allah? Do they help you, or do they help each other?’

فَكُبْكِبُوا۟ فِيهَا هُمْ وَٱلْغَاوُۥنَ﴿٩٤﴾

26:94Then they will be cast into it on their faces—they and the perverse,¹

وَجُنُودُ إِبْلِيسَ أَجْمَعُونَ﴿٩٥﴾

26:95and the hosts of Iblis all together.

قَالُوا۟ وَهُمْ فِيهَا يَخْتَصِمُونَ﴿٩٦﴾

26:96They will say, as they wrangle in it [together],

تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِى ضَلَٰلٍۢ مُّبِينٍ﴿٩٧﴾

26:97‘By Allah, we had indeed been in manifest error

إِذْ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ﴿٩٨﴾

26:98when we equated you with the Lord of all the worlds!

وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ﴿٩٩﴾

26:99No one led us astray except the guilty.

فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَٰفِعِينَ﴿١٠٠﴾

26:100Now we have no intercessors,

وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍۢ﴿١٠١﴾

26:101nor do we have any sympathetic friend.²

فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةًۭ فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ﴿١٠٢﴾

26:102Had there been another turn for us, we would be among the faithful.’

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ﴿١٠٣﴾

26:103There is indeed a sign in that; but most of them do not have faith.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ﴿١٠٤﴾

26:104Indeed your Lord is the All-mighty, the All-merciful.

كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ﴿١٠٥﴾

26:105The people of Noah impugned the apostles

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ﴿١٠٦﴾

26:106when Noah, their brother, said to them, ‘Will you not be wary [of Allah]?

إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ﴿١٠٧﴾

26:107Indeed I am a trusted apostle [sent] to you.

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ﴿١٠٨﴾

26:108So be wary of Allah and obey me.

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ﴿١٠٩﴾

26:109I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward lies only with the Lord of all the worlds.

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ﴿١١٠﴾

26:110So be wary of Allah and obey me.’

۞ قَالُوٓا۟ أَنُؤْمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلْأَرْذَلُونَ﴿١١١﴾

26:111They said, ‘Shall we believe in you, when it is the riffraff who follow you?’

قَالَ وَمَا عِلْمِى بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ﴿١١٢﴾

26:112He said, ‘What do I know as to what they used to do?³

إِنْ حِسَابُهُمْ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّى ۖ لَوْ تَشْعُرُونَ﴿١١٣﴾

26:113Their reckoning is only with my Lord, should you be aware.

وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ﴿١١٤﴾

26:114I will not drive away the faithful.⁴

إِنْ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ﴿١١٥﴾

26:115I am just a manifest warner.’

قَالُوا۟ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَٰنُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمَرْجُومِينَ﴿١١٦﴾

26:116They said, ‘Noah, if you do not desist, you will certainly be stoned [to death].’

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِى كَذَّبُونِ﴿١١٧﴾

26:117He said, ‘My Lord! Indeed my people have impugned me.
