Ya Sin. |
| 036.002 |
By the wise Qur'an, |
| 036.003 |
Lo! thou art of those sent |
| 036.004 |
On a straight path, |
| 036.005 |
A revelation of the Mighty, the Merciful, |
| 036.006 |
That thou mayst warn a folk whose fathers were not warned, so they are heedless. |
| 036.007 |
Already hath the judgment, (for their infidelity) proved true of most of them, for they believe not. |
| 036.008 |
Lo! We have put on their necks carcans reaching unto the chins, so that they are made stiff-necked. |
| 036.009 |
And We have set a bar before them and a bar behind them, and (thus) have covered them so that they see not. |
| 036.010 |
Whether thou warn them or thou warn them not, it is alike for them, for they believe not. |
| 036.011 |
Thou warnest only him who followeth the Reminder and feareth the Beneficent in secret. To him bear tidings of forgiveness and a rich reward. |
| 036.012 |
Lo! We it is Who bring the dead to life. We record that which they send before (them, and their footprints. And all things We have kept in a clear Register. |
| 036.013 |
Coin for them a similitude: The people of the city when those sent (from Allah) came unto them; |
| 036.014 |
When We sent unto them twain, and they denied them both, so We reinforced them with a third, and they said: Lo! we have been sent unto you. |
| 036.015 |
They said: Ye are but mortals like unto us. The Beneficent hath naught revealed. Ye do but lie! |
| 036.016 |
They answered: Our Lord knoweth that we are indeed sent unto you, |
| 036.017 |
And our duty is but plain conveyance (of the message). |
| 036.018 |
(The people of the city) said: We augur ill of you. If ye desist not, we shall surely stone you, and grievous torture will befall you at our hands. |
| 036.019 |
They said: Your evil augury be with you! Is it because ye are reminded (of the truth) ? Nay, but ye are froward folk! |
| 036.020 |
And there came from the uttermost part of the city a man running. He cried: O my people! Follow those who have been sent! |
| 036.021 |
Follow those who ask of you no fee, and who are rightly guided. |
| 036.022 |
For what cause should I not serve Him Who hath created me, and unto Whom ye will be brought back ? |
| 036.023 |
Shall I take (other) gods in place of Him when, if the Beneficent should wish me any harm, their intercession will avail me naught, nor can they save ? |
| 036.024 |
Then truly I should be in error manifest. |
| 036.025 |
Lo! I have believed in your Lord, so hear me! |
| 036.026 |
It was said (unto him): Enter paradise. He said: Would that my people knew |
| 036.027 |
With what (munificence) my Lord hath pardoned me and made me of the honoured ones! |
| 036.028 |
We sent not down against his people after him a host from heaven, nor do We ever send. |
| 036.029 |
It was but one Shout, and lo! they were extinct. |
| 036.030 |
Ah, the anguish for the bondmen! Never came there unto them a messenger but they did mock him! |
| 036.031 |
Have they not seen how many generations We destroyed before them, which indeed returned not unto them; |
| 036.032 |
But all, without exception, will be brought before Us. |
| 036.033 |
A token unto them is the dead earth. We revive it, and We bring forth from it grain so that they eat thereof; |
| 036.034 |
And We have placed therein gardens of the date-palm and grapes, and We have caused springs of water to gush forth therein, |
| 036.035 |
That they may eat of the fruit thereof, and their hands made it not. Will they not, then, give thanks ? |
| 036.036 |
Glory be to Him Who created all the sexual pairs, of that which the earth groweth, and of themselves, and of that which they know not! |
| 036.037 |
A token unto them is night. We strip it of the day, and lo! they are in darkness. |
| 036.038 |
And the sun runneth on unto a resting-place for him. That is the measuring of the Mighty, the Wise. |
| 036.039 |
And for the moon We have appointed mansions till she return like an old shrivelled palm-leaf. |
| 036.040 |
It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit. |
| 036.041 |
And a token unto them is that We bear their offspring in the laden ship, |
| 036.042 |
And have created for them of the like thereof whereon they ride. |
| 036.043 |
And if We will, We drown them, and there is no help for them, neither can they be saved; |
| 036.044 |
Unless by mercy from Us and as comfort for a while. |
| 036.045 |
When it is said unto them: Beware of that which is before you and that which is behind you, that haply ye may find mercy (they are heedless). |
| 036.046 |
Never came a token of the tokens of their Lord to them, but they did turn away from it! |
| 036.047 |
And when it is said unto them: Spend of that wherewith Allah hath provided you, those who disbelieve say unto those who believe: Shall we feed those whom Allah, if He willed, would feed ? Ye are in naught else than error manifest. |
| 036.048 |
And they say: When will this promise be fulfilled, if ye are truthful ? |
| 036.049 |
They await but one Shout, which will surprise them while they are disputing. |
| 036.050 |
Then they cannot make bequest, nor can they return to their own folk. |
| 036.051 |
And the trumpet is blown and lo! from the graves they hie unto their Lord, |
| 036.052 |
Crying: Woe upon us! Who hath raised us from our place of sleep ? This is that which the Beneficent did promise, and the messengers spoke truth. |
| 036.053 |
It is but one Shout, and behold them brought together before Us! |
| 036.054 |
This day no soul is wronged in aught; nor are ye requited aught save what ye used to do. |
| 036.055 |
Lo! those who merit paradise this day are happily employed, |
| 036.056 |
They and their wives, in pleasant shade, on thrones reclining; |
| 036.057 |
Theirs the fruit (of their good deeds) and theirs (all) that they ask; |
| 036.058 |
The word from a Merciful Lord (for them) is: Peace! |
| 036.059 |
But avaunt ye, O ye guilty, this day! |
| 036.060 |
Did I not charge you, O ye sons of Adam, that ye worship not the devil - Lo! he is your open foe! - |
| 036.061 |
But that ye worship Me ? That was the right path. |
| 036.062 |
Yet he hath led astray of you a great multitude. Had ye then no sense ? |
| 036.063 |
This is hell which ye were promised (if ye followed him). |
| 036.064 |
Burn therein this day for that ye disbelieved. |
| 036.065 |
This day We seal up their mouths, and their hands speak out to Us and their feet bear witness as to what they used to earn. |
| 036.066 |
And had We willed, We verily could have quenched their eyesight so that they should struggle for the way. Then how could they have seen ? |
| 036.067 |
And had We willed, We verily could have fixed them in their place, making them powerless to go forward or turn back. |
| 036.068 |
He whom we bring unto old age, We reverse him in creation (making him go back to weakness after strength). Have ye then no sense ? |
| 036.069 |
And We have not taught him (Muhammad) poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is naught else than a Reminder and a Lecture making plain, |
| 036.070 |
To warn whosoever liveth, and that the word may be fulfilled against the disbelievers. |
| 036.071 |
Have they not seen how We have created for them of Our handiwork the cattle, so that they are their owners, |
| 036.072 |
And have subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding, some for food ? |
| 036.073 |
Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they not then give thanks ? |
| 036.074 |
And they have taken (other) gods beside Allah, in order that they may be helped. |
| 036.075 |
It is not in their power to help them; but they (the worshippers) are unto them a host in arms. |
| 036.076 |
So let not their speech grieve thee (O Muhammad). Lo! We know what they conceal and what proclaim. |
| 036.077 |
Hath not man seen that We have created him from a drop of seed ? Yet lo! he is an open opponent. |
| 036.078 |
And he hath coined for Us a similitude, and hath forgotten the fact of his creation, saying: Who will revive these bones when they have rotted away ? |
| 036.079 |
Say: He will revive them Who produced them at the first, for He is Knower of every creation, |
| 036.080 |
Who hath appointed for you fire from the green tree, and behold! ye kindle from it. |
| 036.081 |
Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them ? Aye, that He is! for He is the All-Wise Creator, |
| 036.082 |
But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: Be! and it is. |
| 036.083 |
Therefor Glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion over all things! Unto Him ye will be brought back. |
