قَالَ وَمَا عِلۡمِي بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ١١٢
He responded, “And what knowledge do I have of what they do?
26:112
إِنۡ حِسَابُهُمۡ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّيۖ لَوۡ تَشۡعُرُونَ ١١٣
Their judgment is with my Lord, if you had any sense!
26:113
وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ١١٤
I am not going to expel the believers.
26:114
إِنۡ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٞ ١١٥
I am only sent with a clear warning.”
26:115
قَالُواْ لَئِن لَّمۡ تَنتَهِ يَٰنُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمَرۡجُومِينَ ١١٦
They threatened, “If you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be stoned ˹to death˺.”
26:116
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوۡمِي كَذَّبُونِ ١١٧
Noah prayed, “My Lord! My people have truly rejected me.
26:117
فَٱفۡتَحۡ بَيۡنِي وَبَيۡنَهُمۡ فَتۡحٗا وَنَجِّنِي وَمَن مَّعِيَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ١١٨
So judge between me and them decisively, and save me and the believers with me.”
26:118
فَأَنجَيۡنَٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِي ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ ١١٩
So We saved him and those with him in the fully loaded Ark.
26:119
ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا بَعۡدُ ٱلۡبَاقِينَ ١٢٠
Then afterwards We drowned the rest.
26:120
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ ١٢١
Surely in this is a sign. Yet most of them would not believe.
26:121
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ١٢٢
And your Lord is certainly the Almighty, Most Merciful.
26:122
كَذَّبَتۡ عَادٌ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ ١٢٣
The people of ’Âd rejected the messengers
26:123
إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ١٢٤
when their brother Hûd said to them, “Will you not fear ˹Allah˺?
26:124
إِنِّي لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٞ ١٢٥
I am truly a trustworthy messenger to you.
26:125
فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ١٢٦
So fear Allah, and obey me.
26:126
وَمَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ١٢٧
I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from the Lord of all worlds.
26:127
أَتَبۡنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِيعٍ ءَايَةٗ تَعۡبَثُونَ ١٢٨
˹Why˺ do you build a landmark on every high place in vanity,
26:128
وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَخۡلُدُونَ ١٢٩
and construct castles, as if you are going to live forever,
26:129
وَإِذَا بَطَشۡتُم بَطَشۡتُمۡ جَبَّارِينَ ١٣٠
and act so viciously when you attack ˹others˺?
26:130
فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ١٣١
So fear Allah, and obey me.
26:131
وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَمَدَّكُم بِمَا تَعۡلَمُونَ ١٣٢
Fear the One Who has provided you with ˹the good˺ things you know:
26:132
أَمَدَّكُم بِأَنۡعَٰمٖ وَبَنِينَ ١٣٣
He provided you with cattle, and children,
26:133
وَجَنَّٰتٖ وَعُيُونٍ ١٣٤
and gardens, and springs.
26:134
إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ عَذَابَ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٖ ١٣٥
I truly fear for you the torment of a tremendous day.”
26:135
قَالُواْ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيۡنَآ أَوَعَظۡتَ أَمۡ لَمۡ تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلۡوَٰعِظِينَ ١٣٦
They responded, “It is all the same to us whether you warn ˹us˺ or not.
26:136
