Ta Sin Mi
Those are the signs of the Manifest Book
Perchance thou consumest thyself that they are not believers
If We will, We shall send down on them out of heaven a sign, so their necks will stay humbled to it
But never fresh remembrance comes to them from the All-merciful, except they turn away from it
So they have cried lies; therefore assuredly tidings will come to them of that they mocked at
What, have they not regarded the earth, how many therein We have caused to grow of every generous kind
Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers
Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate
And when thy Lord called to Moses, 'Go to the people of the evildoers
the people of Pharaoh; will they not be godfearing?
He said, 'My Lord, I fear they will cry me lies
and my breast will be straitened, and my tongue will not be loosed; so send to Aaron
They also have a sin against me, and I fear they will slay me.
Said He, 'No indeed; but go, both of you, with Our signs, and We assuredly shall be with you, listening
So go you to Pharaoh, and say, "Verily, I am the Messenger of the Lord of all Being
so send forth with us the Children of Israel."
He said, 'Did we not raise thee amongst us as a child? Didst thou not tarry among us years of thy life
And thou didst the deed thou didst, being one of the ungrateful!
Said he, 'Indeed I did it then, being one of those that stray
so I fled from you, fearing you. But my Lord gave me Judgment and made me one of the Envoys
That is a blessing thou reproachest me with, having enslaved the Children of Israel.
Pharaoh said, 'And what is the Lord of all Being?
He said, 'The Lord of the heavens and earth, and what between them is, if you have faith.
Said he to those about him, 'Do you not hear?
He said, 'Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers, the ancients.
Said he, 'Surely your Messenger who was sent to you is possessed!
He said, 'The Lord of the East and West, and what between them is, if you have understanding,
Said he, 'If thou takest a god other than me, I shall surely make thee one of the imprisoned.
He said, 'What, even though I brought thee something so manifest?
Said he, 'Bring it then, if thou art of the truthful.
So he cast his staff, and behold, it was a serpent manifest
And he drew forth his hand, and lo, it was white to the beholders
Said he to the Council about him, 'Surely this man is a cunning sorcere
who desires to expel you from your land by his sorcery; what do you command?
They said, 'Put him and his brother off a while, and send among the cities musterers
to bring thee every cunning sorcerer
So the sorcerers were assembled for the appointed time of a fixed day
The people were asked, 'Will you assemble
Haply we shall follow the sorcerers if it should be they are the victors.
Then, when the sorcerers came, they said to Pharaoh, 'Shall we indeed have a wage, if we should be the victors?
He said, 'Yes indeed; and you shall then be among the near-stationed.
Moses said to them, 'Cast you down what you will cast.
So they cast their ropes and their staffs, and said, 'By the might of Pharaoh we shall be the victors.
Then Moses cast his staff and lo, it forthwith swallowed up their lying invention
so the sorcerers were cast down, bowing themselves
They said, 'We believe in the Lord of all Being
the Lord of Moses and Aaron.
Said Pharaoh, 'You have believed him before I gave you leave. Why, he is the chief of you, the same that taught you sorcery; now you shall know! I shall assuredly cut off alternately your hands and feet, then I shall crucify you all together.
They said, 'There is no harm; surely unto our Lord we are turning
We are eager that our Lord should forgive us our offences, for that we are the first of the believers.
Also We revealed unto Moses, 'Go with My servants by night; surely you will be followed.
Then Pharaoh sent among the cities musterers
'Behold, these are a small troop
and indeed they are enraging us
and we are a host on our guard.
So We expelled them from gardens and fountains
and treasures and a noble station
even so, and We bequeathed them upon the Children of Israel
Then they followed them at the sunrise
and, when the two hosts sighted each other, the companions of Moses said, 'We are overtaken!
Said he, 'No indeed; surely my Lord is with me; He will guide me.
Then We revealed to Moses, 'Strike with thy staff the sea'; and it clave, and each part was as a mighty mount
And there We brought the others on
and We delivered Moses and those with him all together
then We drowned the others
Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers
Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate
And recite to them the tiding of Abraham
when he said to his father and his people, 'What do you serve?
They said, 'We serve idols, and continue cleaving to them
He said, 'Do they hear you when you call
or do they profit you, or harm?
They said, 'Nay, but we found our fathers so doing.
He said, 'And have you considered what you have been serving
you and your fathers, the elders
They are an enemy to me, except the Lord of all Bein
who created me, and Himself guides me
and Himself gives me to eat and drink
and, whenever I am sick, heals me
who makes me to die, then gives me life
and who I am eager shall forgive me my offence on the Day of Doom
My Lord, give me Judgment, and join me with the righteous
and appoint me a tongue of truthfulness among the others
Make me one of the inheritors of the Garden of Bliss
and forgive my father, for he is one of those astray
Degrade me not upon the day when they are raised up
the day when neither wealth nor sons shall profit
except for him who comes to God with a pure heart
And Paradise shall be brought forward for the godfearing
and Hell advanced for the perverse
It shall be said to them, 'Where is that you were serving
apart from God? Do they help you or help themselves?
Then they shall be pitched into it, they and the pervers
and the hosts of Iblis, all together
They shall say, as they dispute there one with another
'By God, we were certainly in manifest error
when we made you equal with the Lord of all Being
It was naught but the sinners that led us astray
so now we have no intercessors
no loyal friend
O that we might return again, and be among the believers!
Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers
Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate
The people of Noah cried lies to the Envoy
when their brother Noah said to them, 'Will you not be godfearing
I am for you a faithful Messenger
so serve you God, and obey you me
I ask of you no wage for this; my wage falls only upon the Lord of all Being
so fear you God, and obey you me.
They said, 'Shall we believe thee, whom the vilest follow?
He said, 'What knowledge have I of that they have been doing
Their account falls only upon my Lord, were you but aware
I would not drive away the believers
'I am naught but a plain warner.
They said, 'If thou givest not over, Noah, thou shalt assuredly be one of the stoned.
He said, 'My Lord, my people have cried me lies
so give true deliverance between me and them, and deliver me and the believers that are with me
So We delivered him, and those with him, in the laden ship
then afterwards We drowned the rest
Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers
Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate
Ad cried lies to the Envoy
when their brother Hood said to them, 'Will you not be godfearing
I am for you a faithful Messenger
so fear you God, and obey you me
I ask of you no wage for this; my wage falls only upon the Lord of all Being
What, do you build on every prominence a sign, sporting
and do you take to you castles, haply to dwell forever
When you assault, you assault like tyrants
So fear you God, and obey you me
and fear Him who has succoured you with what you know
succoured you with flocks and sons
gardens and fountains
'Indeed, I fear for you the chastisement of a dreadful day.
They said, 'Alike it is to us, whether thou admonishest, or art not one of the admonishers
this is nothing but the habit of the ancients
and we shall not be chastised.
So they cried him lies; then We destroyed them. Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers
Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate
Thamood cried lies to the Envoy
when their brother Salih said to them, 'Will you not be godfearing
I am for you a faithful Messenger
so fear you God, and obey you me.
'I ask of you no wage for this; my wage falls only upon the Lord of all Being
Will you be left secure in this here
among gardens and fountains
sown fields, and palms with slender spathes
Will you still skilfully hew houses out of the mountains
So fear you God, and obey you me
and obey not the commandment of the prodiga
who do corruption in the earth, and set not things aright.
They said, 'Thou art merely one of those that are bewitched
thou art naught but a mortal, like us; then produce a sign, if thou art one of the truthful.
He said, 'This is a she-camel; to her a draught and to you a draught, on a day appointed
and do not touch her with malice so that there seize you the chastisement of a dreadful day.
But they hamstrung her, and in the morning they were remorseful
and the chastisement seized them. Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers
Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate
The people of Lot cried lies to the Envoy
when their brother Lot said to them, 'Will you not be godfearing
I am for you a faithful Messenger
so fear you God, and obey you me
I ask of you no wage for this; my wage falls only upon the Lord of all Being
What, do you come to male beings
leaving your wives that your Lord created for you? Nay, but you are a people of transgressors
They said, 'If thou givest not over, Lot, thou shalt assuredly be one of the expelled.
He said, 'Truly I am a detester of what you do
My Lord, deliver me and my people from that they do.
So We delivered him and his people all together
save an old woman among those that tarried
then We destroyed the others
and We rained on them a rain; and evil is the rain of them that are warned
Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers
Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate
The men of the Thicket cried lies to the Envoy
when Shuaib said to them, 'Will you not be godfearing
I am for you a faithful Messenger, so fear you God, and obey you me
I ask of you no wage for this
my wage falls only upon the Lord of all Being
Fill up the measure, and be not cheaters
and weigh with the straight balance
and diminish not the goods of the people, and do not mischief in the earth, working corruption
Fear Him who created you, and the generations of the ancients.
They said, 'Thou art merely one of those that are bewitched
thou art naught but a mortal, like us; indeed, we think that thou art one of the liars
Then drop down on us lumps from heaven, if thou art one of the truthful.
He said, 'My Lord knows very well what you are doing.
But they cried him lies; then there seized them the chastisement of the Day of Shadow; assuredly it was the chastisement of a dreadful day
Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers
Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate
Truly it is the revelation of the Lord of all Being
brought down by the Faithful Spirit
upon thy heart, that thou mayest be one of the warners
in a clear, Arabic tongue
Truly it is in the Scriptures of the ancients
Was it not a sign for them, that it is known to the learned of the Children of Israel
If We had sent it down on a barbaria
and he had recited it to them, they would not have believed in it
Even so We have caused it to enter into the hearts of the sinners
who will not believe in it, until they see the painful chastisemen
so that it will come upon them suddenly, while they are not aware
and they will say, 'Shall we be respited?
What, do they seek to hasten Our chastisement
What thinkest thou? If We give them enjoyment of days for many years
then there comes on them that they were promised
what will it then avail them, the enjoyment of days they were given
Never a city We destroyed, but it had warner
for a reminder; and never did We wrong
Not by the Satans has it been brought down
it behoves them not, neither are they able
Truly, they are expelled from hearing
So call thou not upon another god with God, lest thou shouldst be one of those that are chastised
And warn thy clan, thy nearest kin
Lower thy wing to those who follow thee, being believers
then, if they disobey thee, say, 'I am quit of that you do.
Put thy trust in the All-mighty, the All-compassionate
who sees thee when thou standes
and when thou turnest about among those who bow
Surely He is the All-hearing, the All-knowing
Shall I tell you on whom the Satans come down
They come down on every guilty impostor
They give ear, but most of them are liars
And the poets -- the perverse follow them
hast thou not seen how they wander in every valley
and how they say that which they do not
Save those that believe, and do righteous deeds, and remember God oft, and help themselves after being wronged; and those who do wrong shall surely know by what overturning they will he overturned
