[26:207]

(How) that wherewith they were contented naught availeth them ?

[26:208]

And We destroyed no township but it had its warners

[26:209]

For reminder, for We never were oppressors.

[26:210]

The devils did not bring it down.

[26:211]

It is not meet for them, nor is it in their power,

[26:212]

Lo! verily they are banished from the hearing.

[26:213]

Therefor invoke not with Allah another god, lest thou be one of the doomed.

[26:214]

And warn thy tribe of near kindred,

[26:215]

And lower thy wing (in kindness) unto those believers who follow thee.

[26:216]

And if they (thy kinsfolk) disobey thee, say: Lo! I am innocent of what they do.

[26:217]

And put thy trust in the Mighty, the Merciful.

[26:218]

Who seeth thee when thou standest up (to pray)

[26:219]

And (seeth) thine abasement among those who fall prostrate (in worship).

[26:220]

Lo! He, only He, is the Hearer, the Knower.

[26:221]

Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend ?

[26:222]

They descend on every sinful, false one.

[26:223]

They listen eagerly, but most of them are liars.

[26:224]

As for poets, the erring follow them.

[26:225]

Hast thou not seen how they stray in every valley,

[26:226]

And how they say that which they do not ?

[26:227]

Save those who believe and do good works, and remember Allah much, and vindicate themselves after they have been wronged. Those who do wrong will come to know by what a (great) reverse they will be overturned!
