The Holy Quran 26:227 — Surah Ash-Shu'ara

Arabic text

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

Translation

(Such is the condition of all poets) Except those who have Imaan, who do good acts, who remember Allaah abundantly and who avenge themselves after being oppressed (by counteracting the satirical poetry that the Kuffaar direct at Islaam with poetry of their own). (Although they refuse to believe in the Aakhirah), Shortly (after death) the oppressors (wrongdoers) will come to know to which place they will return (Jahannam).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Which poets are excepted from this: but if someone in his verse praises Allah, or urges to good, or condemns disbelief, or denounces sin, or, when the disbelievers satirise Islam, answers them, or, when someone has hurt him, has answered him within the bounds of moderation, such poetry is no fault.
