Sura al-Shuʿarā 26:221

هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ

hal unabbiʾukum ʿalā man tanazzalu l-shayāṭīnu

Shall I inform you, (O people!), on whom it is that the evil ones descend?

Sura al-Shuʿarā 26:222

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ

tanazzalu ʿalā kulli affākin athīmin

They descend on every lying, wicked person,

Sura al-Shuʿarā 26:223

يُلْقُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَٰذِبُونَ

yulqūna l-samʿa wa-aktharuhum kādhibūna

(Into whose ears) they pour hearsay vanities, and most of them are liars.

Sura al-Shuʿarā 26:224

وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلْغَاوُۥنَ

wa-l-shuʿarāu yattabiʿuhumu l-ghāwuna

And the Poets,- It is those straying in Evil, who follow them:

Sura al-Shuʿarā 26:225

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ

a-lam tara annahum fī kulli wādin yahīmūna

Seest thou not that they wander distracted in every valley?-

Sura al-Shuʿarā 26:226

وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ

wa-annahum yaqūlūna mā lā yafʿalūna

And that they say what they practise not?-

Sura al-Shuʿarā 26:227

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا۟ ٱللَّـهَ كَثِيرًا وَٱنتَصَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَىَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ

illā lladhīna āmanū wa-ʿamilū l-ṣāliḥāti wa-dhakarū allāha kathīran wa-intaṣarū min baʿdi mā ẓulimū wa-sa-yaʿlamu lladhīna ẓalamū aya munqalabin yanqalibūna

Except those who believe, work righteousness, engage much in the remembrance of Allah, and defend themselves only after they are unjustly attacked. And soon will the unjust assailants know what vicissitudes their affairs will take!
