26. Ash-Shuara (The Poets) Read Surah - Kuran.Wiki

Surah Ash-Shuara

Surah Ash-Shuara (The Poets) is the 26. surah in Quran.Ash-Shuara surah is listed as the 47. by revelation order.

The meaning of surah Ash-Shuara is The Poets. In total this surah is consist of 227 auahs. You can read Ash-Shuara by word by word if you would like to examine it in details or click one of the ayahs below to check that ayah only.

It is believed to be revealed in Mecca so it is considered as a Meccan surah. The surah was named after the word as-shuara in ayah 224.

This surah talks about various prophets and their tribes, and how the disbelievers were destroyed after threatening the prophets with death. It also talks about the mercy of God (Allah). This surah starts with the story of Moses, followed by that of Abraham. It also talks about other prophets such as Noah, Lot, Hud, Saleh and Shuaib.

God warns the prophet not to fret about people not believing in him as it is not his responsibility for them to believe. These individuals have clung to the fake faith and refused to see the signs and messages shown to them.

This surah also has a famous ayah known as the “warning ayah”(214). This ayah tells the prophet and the believers that you should warn your closest kindreds.

The background of the Surah is that the non-believers of Makkah were skeptics and rejected the message of Islam. They would say Muhammad did not show any sign to convince them of his Prophethood.They would mark him as a poet or a magician, mock his message and disparage his Mission. This situation was causing paing for Muhammad.

Qaala aamantum lahoo qabla an aazana lakum innahoo lakabeerukumul lazee ‘alla makumus sihra falasawfa ta’lamoon; la uqatti’anna aidiyakum wa arjulakum min khilaafinw wa la usallibanna kum ajma’een

[Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me."

Qaala kallaaa inna ma’iya Rabbee sa yahdeen

قال كلا إن معى ربى سيهدين

Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain.

Fa awhainaaa ilaa Moosaaa anidrib bi’asaakal bahra fanfalaqa fakaana kullu firqin kattawdil ‘azeem

فأوحينا إلى موسى أن ٱضرب بعصاك ٱلبحر فٱنفلق فكان كل فرق كٱلطود ٱلعظيم

أتتركون فى ما هـهنا ءامنين

Within gardens and springs

Fee jannaatinw wa ‘uyoon

فى جنـت وعيون

And fields of crops and palm trees with softened fruit?

Wa zuroo inw wa nakhlin tal ‘uhaa hadeem

وزروع ونخل طلعها هضيم

And you carve out of the mountains, homes, with skill.

Wa tanhitoona minal jibaali buyootan faariheen

وتنحتون من ٱلجبال بيوتا فـرهين

So fear Allāh and obey me.

Fattaqul laaha wa atee’oon

فٱتقوا ٱلله وأطيعون

And do not obey the order of the transgressors,

Wa laa tutee’ooo amral musrifeen

ولا تطيعوا أمر ٱلمسرفين

Who cause corruption in the land and do not amend."

Allazeena yufsidoona fil ardi wa laa yuslihoon

ٱلذين يفسدون فى ٱلأرض ولا يصلحون

They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.

Qaalooo innamaa anta minal musahhareen

قالوا إنما أنت من ٱلمسحرين

You are but a man like ourselves, so bring a sign, if you should be of the truthful."

Maaa anta illaa basharum mislunaa faati bi Aayatin in kunta minas saadiqeen

ما أنت إلا بشر مثلنا فأت بـاية إن كنت من ٱلصـدقين

He said, "This is a she-camel. For her is a [time of] drink, and for you is a [time of] drink, [each] on a known day.

Qaala haazihee naaqatul lahaa shirbunw walakum shirbu yawmim ma’loom

قال هـذهۦ ناقة لها شرب ولكم شرب يوم معلوم

And do not touch her with harm, lest you be seized by the punishment of a terrible day."

Wa laa tamassoohaa bisooo’in fa yaakhuzakum ‘azaabu Yawmin ‘Azeem

ولا تمسوها بسوء فيأخذكم عذاب يوم عظيم

But they hamstrung her and so became regretful.

Fa’aqaroohaa fa asbahoo naadimeen

فعقروها فأصبحوا نـدمين

And the punishment seized them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Fa akhazahumul ‘azaab; inna fee zaalika la Aayah; wa maa kaana aksaruhum mu’mineen

فأخذهم ٱلعذاب إن فى ذلك لـاية وما كان أكثرهم مؤمنين

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Wa inna Rabbaka la Huwal ‘Azeezur Raheem (section 8)

وإن ربك لهو ٱلعزيز ٱلرحيم

The people of Lot denied the messengers

kazzabat qawmu Lootinil mursaleen

كذبت قوم لوط ٱلمرسلين

When their brother Lot said to them, "Will you not fear Allāh?

Iz qaala lahum akhoohum Lootun alaa tattaqoon

إذ قال لهم أخوهم لوط ألا تتقون

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

Innee lakum rasoolun ameen

إنى لكم رسول أمين

So fear Allāh and obey me.

Fattaqul laaha wa atee’oon

فٱتقوا ٱلله وأطيعون

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

Wa maaa as’alukum ‘alaihi min ajrin in ajriya illaa ‘alaa Rabbil ‘aalameen

وما أسـلكم عليه من أجر إن أجرى إلا على رب ٱلعـلمين

Do you approach males among the worlds

Ataatoonaz zukraana minal ‘aalameen

أتأتون ٱلذكران من ٱلعـلمين

And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing."

Wa tazaroona maa khalaqa lakum Rabbukum min azwaajikum; bal antum qawmun ‘aadoon

وتذرون ما خلق لكم ربكم من أزوجكم بل أنتم قوم عادون

They said, "If you do not desist, O Lot, you will surely be of those evicted."

قالوا لئن لم تنته يـلوط لتكونن من ٱلمخرجين

He said, "Indeed, I am, toward your deed, of those who detest [it].

Qaala innee li’amalikum minal qaaleen

قال إنى لعملكم من ٱلقالين

My Lord, save me and my family from [the consequence of] what they do."

Rabbi najjjinee wa ahlee mimmmaa ya’maloon

رب نجنى وأهلى مما يعملون

So We saved him and his family, all,

Fanajjainaahu wa ahlahooo ajma’een

فنجينـه وأهلهۥ أجمعين

Except an old woman among those who remained behind.

Illaa ‘ajoozan filghaabireen

إلا عجوزا فى ٱلغـبرين

Then We destroyed the others.

Summa dammarnal aa khareen

ثم دمرنا ٱلـاخرين

And We rained upon them a rain [of stones], and evil was the rain of those who were warned.

Wa amtarnaa ‘alaihim mataran fasaaa’a matarul munzareen

وأمطرنا عليهم مطرا فساء مطر ٱلمنذرين

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Inna fee zaalika la Aayah; wa maa kaana aksaruhum mu’mineen

إن فى ذلك لـاية وما كان أكثرهم مؤمنين

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Wa inna Rabbaka la Huwal ‘Azeezur Raheem (section 9)

وإن ربك لهو ٱلعزيز ٱلرحيم

The companions of the thicket [i.e., the people of Madyan] denied the messengers

Kazzaba As haabul Aykatil mursaleen

كذب أصحـب لـيكة ٱلمرسلين

When Shuʿayb said to them, "Will you not fear Allāh?

Iz qaala lahum Shu’aybun alaa tattaqoon

إذ قال لهم شعيب ألا تتقون

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

Innee lakum Rasoolun ameen

إنى لكم رسول أمين

So fear Allāh and obey me.

Fattaqul laaha wa atee’oon

فٱتقوا ٱلله وأطيعون

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

Wa maaa as’alukum ‘alaihi min ajrin in ajriya illaa ‘alaa Rabbil ‘aalameen

وما أسـلكم عليه من أجر إن أجرى إلا على رب ٱلعـلمين

Wa zinoo bilqistaasil mustaqeem

وزنوا بٱلقسطاس ٱلمستقيم

And do not deprive people of their due and do not commit abuse on earth, spreading corruption.

Wa laa tabkhasun naasa ashyaaa ‘ahum wa laa ta’saw fil ardi mufsideen

ولا تبخسوا ٱلناس أشياءهم ولا تعثوا فى ٱلأرض مفسدين

And fear He who created you and the former creation."

Wattaqul lazee khalaqakum waljibillatal awwaleen

وٱتقوا ٱلذى خلقكم وٱلجبلة ٱلأولين

They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.

Qaalooo innamaa anta minal musahhareen

قالوا إنما أنت من ٱلمسحرين

You are but a man like ourselves, and indeed, we think you are among the liars.

وما أنت إلا بشر مثلنا وإن نظنك لمن ٱلكـذبين

So cause to fall upon us fragments of the sky, if you should be of the truthful."

Fa asqit ‘alainaa kisafam minas samaaa’i in kunta minas saadiqeen

فأسقط علينا كسفا من ٱلسماء إن كنت من ٱلصـدقين

He said, "My Lord is most knowing of what you do."

Qaala Rabbeee a’lamu bimaa ta’maloon

قال ربى أعلم بما تعملون

And they denied him, so the punishment of the day of the black cloud seized them. Indeed, it was the punishment of a terrible day.

Fakazzaboohu fa akhazahum ‘azaabu Yawmiz zullah; innahoo kaana ‘azaaba Yawmin ‘Azeem

فكذبوه فأخذهم عذاب يوم ٱلظلة إنهۥ كان عذاب يوم عظيم

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Inna fee zaalika la Aayah; wa maa kaana aksaruhum mu’mineen

إن فى ذلك لـاية وما كان أكثرهم مؤمنين

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Wa inna Rabbaka la huwal ‘Azeezur Raheem (section 10)

وإن ربك لهو ٱلعزيز ٱلرحيم

And indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds.

Wa innahoo latanzeelu Rabbil ‘aalameen

وإنهۥ لتنزيل رب ٱلعـلمين

The Trustworthy Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] has brought it down

Nazala bihir Roohul Ameen

نزل به ٱلروح ٱلأمين

Upon your heart, [O Muḥammad] - that you may be of the warners -

‘Alaa qalbika litakoona minal munzireen

على قلبك لتكون من ٱلمنذرين

In a clear Arabic language.

Bilisaanin ‘Arabiyyim mubeen

بلسان عربى مبين

And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples.

Wa innahoo lafee Zuburil awwaleen

وإنهۥ لفى زبر ٱلأولين

And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel?

Awalam yakul lahum Aayatan ai ya’lamahoo ‘ulamaaa’u Baneee Israaa’eel

أولم يكن لهم ءاية أن يعلمهۥ علمـؤا بنى إسرءيل

And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners

Wa law nazzalnaahu ‘alaa ba’dil a’jameen

ولو نزلنـه على بعض ٱلأعجمين

And he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it.

Faqara ahoo ‘alaihim maa kaanoo bihee mu’mineen

فقرأهۥ عليهم ما كانوا بهۦ مؤمنين

Thus have We inserted it [i.e., disbelief] into the hearts of the criminals.

Kazaalika salaknaahu fee quloobil mujrimeen

كذلك سلكنـه فى قلوب ٱلمجرمين

They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.

Laa yu’minoona bihee hattaa yarawul ‘azaabal aleem

لا يؤمنون بهۦ حتى يروا ٱلعذاب ٱلأليم

And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not.

Fayaatiyahum baghtatanw wa hum laa yash’uroon

فيأتيهم بغتة وهم لا يشعرون

And they will say, "May we be reprieved?"

Fa yaqooloo hal nahnu munzaroon

فيقولوا هل نحن منظرون

So for Our punishment are they impatient?

Afabi ‘azaabinaa yasta’jiloon

أفبعذابنا يستعجلون

Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years

Afara’aita im matta’naahum sineen

أفرءيت إن متعنـهم سنين

And then there came to them that which they were promised?

Summa jaaa’ahum maa kaanoo yoo’adoon

ثم جاءهم ما كانوا يوعدون

They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.

Maaa aghnaaa ‘anhum maa kaanoo yumatta’oon

ما أغنى عنهم ما كانوا يمتعون

And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners

Wa maaa ahlaknaa min qaryatin illaa lahaa munziroon

وما أهلكنا من قرية إلا لها منذرون

As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.

Zikraa wa maa kunnaa zaalimeen

ذكرى وما كنا ظـلمين

And the devils have not brought it [i.e., the revelation] down.

Wa maa tanazzalat bihish Shayaateen

وما تنزلت به ٱلشيـطين

It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able.

Wa maa yambaghee lahum wa maa yastatee’oon

وما ينبغى لهم وما يستطيعون

Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed.

Innahum ‘anis sam’i lama’zooloon

إنهم عن ٱلسمع لمعزولون

So do not invoke with Allāh another deity and [thus] be among the punished.

Falaa tad’u ma’al laahi ilaahan aakhara fatakoona minal mu’azzabeen

فلا تدع مع ٱلله إلـها ءاخر فتكون من ٱلمعذبين

And warn, [O Muḥammad], your closest kindred.

Wa anzir ‘asheeratakal aqrabeen

وأنذر عشيرتك ٱلأقربين

And lower your wing [i.e., show kindness] to those who follow you of the believers.

Wakhfid janaahaka limanit taba ‘aka minal mu’mineen

وٱخفض جناحك لمن ٱتبعك من ٱلمؤمنين

And if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing."

Fa in asawka faqul innee bareee’um mimmmaa ta’maloon

فإن عصوك فقل إنى برىء مما تعملون

And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,

Wa tawakkal alal ‘Azeezir Raheem

وتوكل على ٱلعزيز ٱلرحيم

Who sees you when you arise

Allazee yaraaka heena taqoom

ٱلذى يرىك حين تقوم

And your movement among those who prostrate.

Wa taqallubaka fis saajideen

وتقلبك فى ٱلسـجدين

Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

Innahoo Huwas Samee’ul ‘Aleem

إنهۥ هو ٱلسميع ٱلعليم

Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?

Hal unabbi’ukum ‘alaa man tanazzalush Shayaateen

هل أنبئكم على من تنزل ٱلشيـطين

They descend upon every sinful liar.

Tanazzalu ‘alaa kulli affaakin aseem

تنزل على كل أفاك أثيم

They pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars.

Yulqoonas sam’a wa aksaruhum kaaziboon

يلقون ٱلسمع وأكثرهم كـذبون

And the poets - [only] the deviators follow them;

Washshu ‘araaa’u yattabi ‘uhumul ghaawoon

وٱلشعراء يتبعهم ٱلغاوۥن

Do you not see that in every valley they roam

Alam tara annahum fee kulli waadiny yaheemoon

ألم تر أنهم فى كل واد يهيمون

And that they say what they do not do? -

Wa annahum yaqooloona ma laa yaf’aloon

وأنهم يقولون ما لا يفعلون

Except those [poets] who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allāh often and defend [the Muslims] after they were wronged. And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned.

Illal lazeena aamanoo wa ‘amilus saalihaati wa zakarul laaha kaseeranw wantasaroo min ba’di maa zulimoo; wa saya’lamul lazeena zalamooo aiya munqalabiny yanqaliboon (section 11)
