إِن نَّشَأۡ نُنَزِّلۡ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةٗ فَظَلَّتۡ أَعۡنَٰقُهُمۡ لَهَا خَٰضِعِينَ
If We willed, We could send down upon them a sign from the heaven, at which their necks would stay bowed in humility[3].
[3] i.e., they would be compelled to believe, being humbled.
5 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 005
وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن ذِكۡرٖ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ مُحۡدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ عَنۡهُ مُعۡرِضِينَ

فَقَدۡ كَذَّبُواْ فَسَيَأۡتِيهِمۡ أَنۢبَـٰٓؤُاْ مَا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ
They have rejected [the Truth], soon there will come to them the consequences of their ridicule.

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَمۡ أَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجٖ كَرِيمٍ
Do they not see the earth, how many fine kinds of plants We grow in it?
8 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 008
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ
Indeed, there is a sign in this, yet most of them will not believe.
9 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 009
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Your Lord is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
10 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 010
وَإِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئۡتِ ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
And [remember] when your Lord called out to Moses, “Go to the wrongdoing people –
11 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 011
قَوۡمَ فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ
the people of Pharaoh; will they not fear [the punishment of] Allah?”

وَيَضِيقُ صَدۡرِي وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِي فَأَرۡسِلۡ إِلَىٰ هَٰرُونَ
and I will feel distressed and my tongue will not be fluent, so send Aaron along [to help me].
14 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 014
وَلَهُمۡ عَلَيَّ ذَنۢبٞ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقۡتُلُونِ
Moreover, they have a charge against me, so I fear they may kill me[4].”
[4] For killing a Coptic Egyptian by mistake before becoming a prophet.
15 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 015
قَالَ كَلَّاۖ فَٱذۡهَبَا بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسۡتَمِعُونَ
Allah said, “Certainly not! Go, both of you, with Our signs[5]; We are with you, listening.

فَأۡتِيَا فِرۡعَوۡنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
Go to Pharaoh and say, ‘We are the messengers[6] from the Lord of the worlds,

Pharaoh said, “Did we not bring you up as a child among us, and you stayed with us several years of your life?
19 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 019
وَفَعَلۡتَ فَعۡلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِي فَعَلۡتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ
Yet you did what you did[7], and you are extremely ungrateful.”
[7] i.e., striking the Copt in support of a man from your people, who died as a result.
20 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 020
قَالَ فَعَلۡتُهَآ إِذٗا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ
He said, “I did it when I had no guidance.
21 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 021
فَفَرَرۡتُ مِنكُمۡ لَمَّا خِفۡتُكُمۡ فَوَهَبَ لِي رَبِّي حُكۡمٗا وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
So I fled from you in fear. Then my Lord gave me wisdom and made me one of the messengers.
22 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 022
وَتِلۡكَ نِعۡمَةٞ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَيَّ أَنۡ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَـٰٓءِيلَ
Is this a favor that you remind me with, that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?[8]
[8] i.e., If you had not been cruel to the Israelites, I should not have been brought to your house for upbringing.

37 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 037
يَأۡتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٖ
to bring you every learned magician.”
38 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 038
فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَٰتِ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ
So the magicians were assembled at an appointed time on a known day[9].
[9] i.e., the morning of the festival day. See 20:58-59.
39 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 039
وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّجۡتَمِعُونَ
And it was said to the people, “Will you join the gathering,
40 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 040
لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ
so that we may follow the magicians, if they are victorious?”
41 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 041
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُواْ لِفِرۡعَوۡنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجۡرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ

45 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 045
فَأَلۡقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلۡقَفُ مَا يَأۡفِكُونَ

قَالَ ءَامَنتُمۡ لَهُۥ قَبۡلَ أَنۡ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحۡرَ فَلَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيۡدِيَكُمۡ وَأَرۡجُلَكُم مِّنۡ خِلَٰفٖ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ
Pharaoh said, “How dare you believe in him before I give you permission. Indeed, he is your master who taught you magic, but you will soon come to know. I will surely cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, then I will crucify you all.”
50 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 050
قَالُواْ لَا ضَيۡرَۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ
They said, “No harm; we will surely return to our Lord.
51 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 051
إِنَّا نَطۡمَعُ أَن يَغۡفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
We hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins, as we are the first of the believers.”
52 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 052
۞وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنۡ أَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِيٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ
We inspired Moses, “Leave with My slaves by night; you will surely be pursued.”
53 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 053
فَأَرۡسَلَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ فِي ٱلۡمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ
So Pharaoh sent heralds to the cities[10],
[10] In order to prevent the emigration of the Children of Israel.
54 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 054
إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرۡذِمَةٞ قَلِيلُونَ
saying, “These are but a small band,
55 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 055
وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ
and they have enraged us,
56 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 056
وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ
but we are all well-prepared.”
57 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 057
فَأَخۡرَجۡنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّـٰتٖ وَعُيُونٖ

[11] i.e., Pharaoh and his people.

وَكُنُوزٖ وَمَقَامٖ كَرِيمٖ
and their treasures and splendid dwellings.

كَذَٰلِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَٰهَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَـٰٓءِيلَ
So it was, and We made the Children of Israel to inherit them.
60 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 060
فَأَتۡبَعُوهُم مُّشۡرِقِينَ
They pursued them at sunrise.
61 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 061
فَلَمَّا تَرَـٰٓءَا ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِ قَالَ أَصۡحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدۡرَكُونَ
When the two groups saw each other, the companions of Moses said, “We are surely overtaken!”
62 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 062
قَالَ كَلَّآۖ إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ
Moses said, “Certainly not! My Lord is with me; He will guide me.”
63 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 063
فَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضۡرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرۡقٖ كَٱلطَّوۡدِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ
Then We inspired Moses, “Strike the sea with your staff,” so it parted, and each part became like a huge mountain.
64 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 064
وَأَزۡلَفۡنَا ثَمَّ ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ
Then We brought the others [i.e., the pursuers] close to that place,
65 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 065
وَأَنجَيۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ
and We saved Moses and all those who were with him.
66 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 066
ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ
Then we drowned the others.
67 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 067
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ
Indeed, there is a sign in this, yet most of them would not believe.
68 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 068
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Indeed, your Lord is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَا تَعۡبُدُونَ
when he said to his father and his people, “What do you worship?”

He said, “Do they hear you when you call upon them?
73 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 073
أَوۡ يَنفَعُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ يَضُرُّونَ
Or can they benefit or harm you?”
74 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 074
قَالُواْ بَلۡ وَجَدۡنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفۡعَلُونَ
They said, “No, but this is what we found our forefathers doing.”
75 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 075
قَالَ أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُونَ
He said, “Do you see what you have been worshiping,
76 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 076
أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلۡأَقۡدَمُونَ
you and your ancestors?
77 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 077
فَإِنَّهُمۡ عَدُوّٞ لِّيٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
Indeed, they are my enemies, except the Lord of the worlds[12],
[12] As they worshiped idols in addition to worshiping Allah.
78 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 078
ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَهُوَ يَهۡدِينِ

81 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 081
وَٱلَّذِي يُمِيتُنِي ثُمَّ يُحۡيِينِ
and He will cause me to die and then bring me back to life;
82 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 082
وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَطۡمَعُ أَن يَغۡفِرَ لِي خَطِيٓـَٔتِي يَوۡمَ ٱلدِّينِ

89 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 089
إِلَّا مَنۡ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٖ

وَأُزۡلِفَتِ ٱلۡجَنَّةُ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ

93 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 093
مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلۡ يَنصُرُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ يَنتَصِرُونَ

97 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 097
تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٍ
“By Allah, we were clearly misguided,
98 - Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) - 098
