English - Chapter 36 - Ya-Sin

Yaa Siin

By the Quran full of wisdom

you are certainly (one) of the messengers

on the straight path

(The Quran is) sent down by the Mighty, the Merciful

that you may warn a people whose fathers were not warned so they are heedless

The word has indeed proved true on most of them so they do not believe

We have placed chains round their necks and they are right up to the chins, so their heads are raised

and We have made a barrier before them and a barrier behind them, then We have covered them, therefore they are not able to see

And it is equal to them whether you warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe

You can warn only him who follows the reminder and fears the Beneficent (God) without having seen Him, so convey to him the good news of protective forgiveness and an honourable reward

We certainly give life to the dead and record the (deeds) which they send before (in advance) and their footprints (work which they leave behind) and We have computed everything in a clear guide (book of deeds)

And set forth to them the similitude of the inhabitants of the town, when messengers came to it

when We sent to them two, they denied them both, therefore We strengthened (them) with a third, so they said, “We are messengers (sent) to you.”

They said, “You are nothing but men like us and the Beneficent (God) has not sent down anything, you do nothing but lie.”

They said, “Our Lord knows that we are certainly messengers (sent) to you

and there is no (responsibility) on us except clear conveyance (of the message).”

They said, “We consider you to be an evil omen, if you do not desist we will definitely stone you and you will definitely be afflicted by a painful punishment from us.”

They said, “(Let) your evil omens be with you. What! (you resist us just) because you are reminded, no, you are an extravagant people.”

And a man came running from a distant (part) of the city, he said, “O my people! follow the messengers

follow those who do not ask you for a reward and who are themselves guided

And what reason do I have not to serve Him Who initiated my creation, and to Him you will be returned

What! should I take gods besides Him, whose recommendation will not make me free from anything, if the Beneficent (God) intends harm, nor will they save me

Then, in that case, I will certainly be in clear error

I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me.”

It was said, “Enter the garden.” He said, “I wish my people could know

(the reason) because of which my Lord protectively forgave me and placed me among the honoured ones.”

And after him, We did not send down on his people, any army from the sky, and it was not (necessary) for Us to send

it was nothing but a single loud cry when they became motionless

(Let there be) regret on My servants, there does not come to them any messenger but they mock at him

Did they not consider, how many of the generations did We destroy before them which do not come back to them

And all of them, without exception, will be presented before Us

And a sign to them is the dead earth, We give life to it and bring out from it grain so they eat of it

And We have made therein gardens of date palms and grapes and We have caused the springs to gush forth therein

that they may eat of its fruit, and their hands did not make it. Will they not then be grateful

Glory be to Him Who created pairs of everything, of that which the earth grows and of themselves and of that which they do not know

And a sign for them is the night, We cause the day to slip off from it, when (again) they are in darkness

And the sun moves on for the time (and) in the space (appointed for) it. That is the programme of the Mighty, the Knowing

And the moon, We have programmed for it stages (in space and time) till it returns like an old dry palm branch

Neither it is possible for the sun to catch (up with) the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day and each moves fast in an orbit

And a sign for them is that We carried their progeny in the loaded ship

And We created for them (vessels) similar to it, on which they ride

And if We will We can drown them, then there will be no one (to respond) to their cry for help nor will they be saved

but (if this does not happen, it is due to) the mercy from Us and a provision till a time

And (they are heedless) when it is said to them, “Guard (yourselves against) that which is before you and that which is behind you that you may be dealt with mercifully.”

And there does not come to them any sign from the signs of their Lord but they turn away from it

And when it is said to them, “Spend from that which God has provided for you,” those who do not believe say to those who believe, “Should we feed him, whom God (Himself) could feed, if He wills? You are in nothing but clear error.”

And they say, “When will the promise (be fulfilled) if you are truthful?”

They do not wait for anything but a single loud cry which will take hold of them while they are (involved) in a tussle with each other

so that they will neither be able to make a bequest nor will they be able to return to their own people

And it will be blown into the trumpet (structure of the universe) when they will rush forth from their graves towards their Lord

saying, “Sorrowful is our state, who has raised us from our sleeping place? This is what the Beneficent (God) had promised and the messengers had spoken the truth.”

It will be nothing but a single loud cry when all of them will be presented before Us

So on that day, no soul will be dealt with unjustly in anything and you will not be rewarded for anything but for that which you used to do

On that day, the inhabitants of the garden will certainly be in a joyful occupation

they and their mates (will be) in shades, reclining on couches

For them there will be fruits and for them (there will be) what they ask for

‘Peace,’ (will be) the word from the Merciful Lord

(God will say), “Separate on this day, O you criminals

Had I not enjoined on you, O children of Adam! that you should not serve the devil, (as) he is your open enemy

and that you should serve Me, this is the straight path

And he had indeed led astray a large group of people from among you, then were you not having sense

This is the hell you were threatened with

enter it this day, because you did not believe.”

This day We will put a seal on their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us and their feet will bear witness of that which they used to earn

And if We will We could wipe off their eyes, then they would strive for the path, but how will they be able to see

And if We will We could transform them in their places, then they would not be able to go forward or to return

And We have not taught him (Muhammad) poetry and it is not suitable for him, it is nothing but a reminder and a Quran (that makes things) clear

that he who is alive may be warned and the word may be proved true against the disbelievers

Did they not see that We have created the cattle for them, among that which Our hands have done, then they are their masters

And We have subdued them for their (use), so among them are (some on) whom they ride and (some) of them they eat

And they have (other) benefits in them and drinks. Will they not then be grateful

And they have taken gods besides God that they may be helped

They are not capable of helping them, and they (their false gods, supposed to be a) force for them, will (also) be presented (before God)

So do not let their speech grieve you, We know that which they keep secret and that which they make public

H as not man considered that We created him from a sperm* even then he is an open disputant

And he strikes a similitude for Us and forgets his own creation, saying, “Who will give life to the bones when they are decomposed?”

Say, “He will give life to them Who produced them the first time and He knows every (kind of) creation

He it is Who made the fire for you from the green trees, so that you get your fuel from it

Is not He Who created the skies and the earth, able to create the like of them, why not? And He is the Great Creator Who knows

His command, when He intends anything, is that He says to it only, ‘Be’, so it is.”

So glory be to Him in Whose hand is the kingdom of everything and to Him you will be returned
