26. Shuara · verses 207–215

مَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يُمَتَّعُونَ

Ma aghna AAanhum ma kanoo yumattaAAoona

It will profit them not that they enjoyed (this life)!

وَمَآ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَرۡيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ

Wama ahlakna min qaryatin illa laha munthiroona

Never did We destroy a population, but had its warners -

ذِكۡرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ

Thikra wama kunna thalimeena

By way of reminder; and We never are unjust.

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتۡ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ

Wama tanazzalat bihi alshshayateenu

No evil ones have brought down this (Revelation):

وَمَا يَنۢبَغِي لَهُمۡ وَمَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ

Wama yanbaghee lahum wama yastateeAAoona

It would neither suit them nor would they be able (to produce it).

إِنَّهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلسَّمۡعِ لَمَعۡزُولُونَ

Innahum AAani alssamAAi lamaAAzooloona

Indeed they have been removed far from even (a chance of) hearing it.

فَلَا تَدۡعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُعَذَّبِينَ

Fala tadAAu maAAa Allahi ilahan akhara fatakoona mina almuAAaththabeena

So call not on any other god with Allah, or thou wilt be among those under the Penalty.

وَأَنذِرۡ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلۡأَقۡرَبِينَ

Waanthir AAasheerataka alaqrabeena

And admonish thy nearest kinsmen,

وَٱخۡفِضۡ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

Waikhfid janahaka limani ittabaAAaka mina almumineena

And lower thy wing to the Believers who follow thee.
