26:1 Tā sīn mīm.[1]

26:2 These are the verses of the clear Book.

26:3 Perhaps you[1] will grieve yourself to death because they do not believe.

26:4 If We willed, We could send down upon them a sign from the heaven, at which their necks would stay bowed in humility[1].

26:5 No new reminder comes to them from the Most Compassionate except that they turn away from it.

26:6 They have rejected [the Truth], soon there will come to them the consequences of their ridicule.

26:7 Do they not see the earth, how many fine kinds of plants We grow in it?

26:8 Indeed, there is a sign in this, yet most of them will not believe.

26:9 Your Lord is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

26:10 And [remember] when your Lord called out to Moses, “Go to the wrongdoing people –

26:11 the people of Pharaoh; will they not fear [the punishment of] Allah?”

26:12 He said, “My Lord, I fear that they may reject me,

26:13 and I will feel distressed and my tongue will not be fluent, so send Aaron along [to help me].

26:14 Moreover, they have a charge against me, so I fear they may kill me[1].”

26:15 Allah said, “Certainly not! Go, both of you, with Our signs[1]; We are with you, listening.

26:16 Go to Pharaoh and say, ‘We are the messengers[1] from the Lord of the worlds,

26:17 that you let the Children of Israel go with us.’”

26:18 Pharaoh said, “Did we not bring you up as a child among us, and you stayed with us several years of your life?

26:19 Yet you did what you did[1], and you are extremely ungrateful.”
