26. Shuara · verses 192–203

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

Wainnahu latanzeelu rabbi alAAalameena

Verily this is a Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds:

نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلۡأَمِينُ

Nazala bihi alrroohu alameenu

With it came down the spirit of Faith and Truth-

عَلَىٰ قَلۡبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُنذِرِينَ

AAala qalbika litakoona mina almunthireena

To thy heart and mind, that thou mayest admonish.

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِيّٖ مُّبِينٖ

Bilisanin AAarabiyyin mubeenin

In the perspicuous Arabic tongue.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِي زُبُرِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

Wainnahu lafee zuburi alawwaleena

Without doubt it is (announced) in the mystic Books of former peoples.

أَوَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُمۡ ءَايَةً أَن يَعۡلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَٰٓؤُاْ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

Awalam yakun lahum ayatan an yaAAlamahu AAulamao banee israeela

Is it not a Sign to them that the Learned of the Children of Israel knew it (as true)?

وَلَوۡ نَزَّلۡنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضِ ٱلۡأَعۡجَمِينَ

Walaw nazzalnahu AAala baAAdi alaAAjameena

Had We revealed it to any of the non-Arabs,

فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيۡهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ مُؤۡمِنِينَ

Faqaraahu AAalayhim ma kanoo bihi mumineena

And had he recited it to them, they would not have believed in it.

كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكۡنَٰهُ فِي قُلُوبِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ

Kathalika salaknahu fee quloobi almujrimeena

Thus have We caused it to enter the hearts of the sinners.

لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُاْ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِيمَ

La yuminoona bihi hatta yarawoo alAAathaba alaleema

They will not believe in it until they see the grievous Penalty;

فَيَأۡتِيَهُم بَغۡتَةٗ وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ

Fayatiyahum baghtatan wahum la yashAAuroona

But the (Penalty) will come to them of a sudden, while they perceive it not;

فَيَقُولُواْ هَلۡ نَحۡنُ مُنظَرُونَ

Fayaqooloo hal nahnu muntharoona

Then they will say: "Shall we be respited?"
