English - Chapter 36 - Ya-Sin

Ya-Sin

By the Qur'an full of wisdom

Verily thou art of the sent ones

upon the straight path

This is a revelation of the Mighty, the Merciful

That thou mayest warn a people whose fathers were not warned; so they are negligent

Assuredly the word hath been justified against most of them, wherefore they shall not believe

Verily We have placed on their necks shackles which are up to the chins; so that their heads are forced up

And We have placed before them a barrier and behind them a barrier, so We have covered them, so that they see not

And it is alike Unto them, whather thou warnest them or warnest them not; they shall not believe

Thou canst warn only him who followeth the admonition and feareth the Compassionate, unseen. So bear thou Unto him the glad tidings of forgiveness and a generous hire

Verily We! We shall guicken the dead. And We write down that which they send before and their footsteps. And everything We have counted up in a Book luminous

And propound thou Unto them the similitude of the inhabitants of a town, When there came thereto the sent ones

What time We sent Unto them two, then they belied the twain, wherefore We strengthened them with a third, and they said: verily we are Unto you the sent ones

They said: ye are but human beings like ourselves; the Compassionate hath not sent down aught; ye are only lying

They said: our Lord knoweth that we are surely Unto you the sent ones

And on us is naught but manifest preaching

They said: verily we augur ill of you; if ye desist not, we shall surely stone you, and there will befall you from us a torment afflictive

They said: your evil augury be with you. Call ye it an ill- luck because ye are admonished! Aye! ye are a people extravagant

And there came from the farthest part of the town a man running. He said; O my people! follow the sent ones

Follow those who ask not of you any hire, and who are rightly guided

And what aileth me that I should not worship Him who hath created me, and Unto whom ye shall be returned

Shall I take beside Him gods when, if the Compassionate should intend me any harm, their intercession will avail me not at all, nor would they save me

Verily then I should be in error manifest

Verily I believe now in your Lord; so hearken Unto me

It was said: enter thou the Garden. He said: would that my people knew

That my Lord hath forgiven me, and hath made me of the honoured ones

And We sent not against his people after him a host from heaven, nor have We been sending down any such

It was but one shout, and lo! they were extinct

Ah the misery of the bondmen! there cometh not: Unto them an apostle but him they have been mocking

Behold they not how many We have destroyed before them of the generations! verily Unto them they shall not return

And surely all, every one of them, shall be brought before us

And a sign Unto them is the dead land. We quicken it and therecut We bring forth grain, so that thereof they eat

And We place therein gardens of the date-palms and vines; and We therein cause to gush forth springs

That they may eat of the fruit thereof; and their hands worked it not. Will they not, therefore, give thanks

Hallowed be He who hath created all the pairs of that which the earth groweth, and of themselves and of that which they know not

And a sign Unto them is the night. We draw off the day therefrom, and lo! they are darkened

And the sun runneth to its appointed term: that is the disposition of the Mighty, the Knowing

And the moon! For it We have decreed mansions till it reverteth like the old branch of a palm-tree

It is not permitted to the sun that it should overtake the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day: each in an orbit, they float

And a sign Unto them is that We bear their offspring in a laden ship

And if We list, We shall drown them, and there will be no shout for them, nor will they be saved

unless it be a mercy from us, and as an enjoyment for a season

And when it is said Unto them: fear that which is before you and that which is behind you, that haply ye may find mercy, they withdraw

And not a sign cometh Unto them of the signs of their Lord, but they are ever backsliders therefrom

And when it is said Unto them: expend of that wherewith Allah hath provided you, those who disbelieve say Unto those who believe: shall we feed those whom God Himself would have fed, if He listed? Ye are in naught else than error manifest

And they say: when will this promise be fulfilled if ye say sooth

They await not but one shout, which shall lay hold of them while they are yet wrangling

And they will not be able to make a disposition, nor to their family they return

And the trumpet shall be blown, and lo! from the tombs Unto their Lord they shall be hastening

They will say: Ah woe Unto us! who hath roused us from our sleeping-place? This is that which the Compassionate had promised, and truly spake the sent ones

It shall be but one shout; and lo! they shall all be brought together before us

To-day no soul will be wronged at all; nor shall ye be requited but for that which ye have been working

Verily the fellows of the Garden to-day shall be happily employed

They and their spouses, in shade on couches shall be reclining

Theirs shall be fruit therein and theirs shall be whatsoever they ask for

Peace shall be the word from the Lord Merciful

And separate yourselves this Day, O ye culprits

Enjoined I not on you, ye children of Adam, that ye shall not worship the Satan - verily he is Unto you manifest foe

And that: ye shall worship Me; this is the straight path

And yet assuredly he hath led astray of you a great multitude. Wherefore reflect ye not

Yonder is Hell, which ye were promised

Roast therein To-day for that ye have been disbelieving

To-day We shall seal upon their mouths, and their hands will speak Unto us, and their feet will bear witness of that which they have been earning

And if We listed, surely We should wipe out their eyes so that they would struggle for the way how then would they see

And if We listed, surely We should transform them in their places, so that they would be able neither to go forward nor to return

And whomsoever We grant long life, We reverse him in creation. Reflect then they not

And We have not taught him poetry, nor it befitteth him. This is but an admonition and a Recital luminous

In order that it may warn him who is alive, and that the sentence may be justified on the infidels

Observe they not that We have created for them, of that which Our hands have worked, cattle: so that they are their owners

And We have subdued them Unto them, so that some of them they have for riding and on some of them they feed

And they have therefrom other benefits and drinks. Will they not then give thanks

And they have taken beside Allah gods, hoping that haply they may be succoured

They are not able to give them succour; whereas they shall be against them host brought forward

So let not their speech grieve thee. Verily We! We know whatsoever they keep secret and whatsoever they make known

Beholdest not man that We have created him from a sperm? Yet lo! he is a manifest disputer

And he propoundeth for us a similitude, and forgetteth his creation, He saith: who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed

Say thou:" He shall quicken them Who brought them forth for the first time, and He is of every kind of creation the Knower

Who giveth you out of the green tree fire, and lo! ye kindle therewith

Is not He who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of these? Yea! He is the Supreme Creator, the Knower

His affair, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith Unto it: be, and it becometh

Wherefore hallowed be He in whose hand is the governance of everything, and Unto whom ye shall be returned
