Read the surah · Surah 26
An editorial summary of the translations. Not a translation or tafsir.
Two hundred and twenty-seven verses, seven messengers in sequence — Moses, Abraham, Noah, Hud, Salih, Lot, Shu'ayb — each account closing on the same two-verse refrain, so the pattern is itself the argument. It takes its name from its final verses, which distinguish the poets who wander in every valley from what the Prophet brings. It opens with disconnected letters.
The whole surah, verse after verse, in the language you have chosen.

save those who believe, and do right, and remember God much, and defend themselves after they are wronged; but those who do wrong shall know with what a turn they shall be turned
Save those who believe and do good works, and oft remember God; And who defend themselves when unjustly treated. But they who treat them unjustly shall find out what a lot awaiteth them
Except those who believe, and do good works, and remember God frequently; and who defend themselves, after they have been unjustly treated. And they who act unjustly shall know hereafter, with what treatment they shall be treated
