36:2
And the Qur'an of wisdom
36:3
You are one of the messengers
36:4
Upon a straight path
36:5
The revelation of the Most Honorable, the Merciful
36:6
To warn a people whose fathers were not warned, for they are unaware
36:7
The retribution has been deserved by most of them, for they do not believe
36:8
We have placed shackles around their necks, up to their chins, so that they are forced in place
36:9
And We have placed a barrier in front of them, and a barrier behind them, thus We shielded them so they cannot see
36:10
And whether you warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe
36:11
You can only warn him who follows the Reminder, and is concerned towards the Almighty while unseen. Give him good news of forgiveness and a generous reward
36:12
It is indeed Us who resurrect the dead, and We record what they have done and left behind. And everything We have counted in a clear ledger
36:13
And put forth for them the example of the people of the town, when the messengers came to it
36:14
Where We sent two to them, but they disbelieved in them, so We supported them with a third one, thus they said: "We are messengers to you.
36:15
They said: "You are but human beings like us, and the Almighty did not send down anything, you are only telling lies.
36:16
They said: "Our Lord knows that we have been sent to you.
36:17
"And we are only required to give a clear delivery.
36:18
They said: "We have welcomed you better than you deserve. If you do not cease, we will stone you, and you will receive a painful retribution from us!
36:19
They said: "Keep your welcome with you, for you have been reminded. Indeed, you are transgressing people.
36:20
And a man came running from the farthest part of the city, saying: "O my people, follow the messengers.
36:21
"Follow those who do not ask you for any wage, and are guided.
36:22
"And why should I not serve the One who initiated me, and to Him is your ultimate return?
36:23
"Shall I take gods besides Him? If the Almighty intends any harm for me, their intercession cannot help me in the least, nor can they save me.
36:24
"Then I would be clearly astray.
36:25
"I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me!
36:26
It was said: "Enter the Paradise." He said "Oh, how I wish if only my people knew!
36:27
"Of what my Lord has forgiven me, and made me of the honored ones.
36:28
And We did not send down upon his people after him soldiers from the heaven; for there was no need to send them down
36:29
For all it took was one scream, whereupon they were stilled
36:30
What sorrow for the servants. For every time a messenger went to them, they would mock him
36:31
Did they not see how many generations We destroyed before them, do they not go back to them
36:32
And how every one of them will be summoned before Us
36:33
And a sign for them is the dead land, We revive it and produce from it seeds from which they eat
36:34
And We made in it gardens of date palms, and grapes, and We cause springs to gush forth therein
36:35
So that they may eat from its fruits, and what they manufacture with their own hands. Would they be thankful
36:36
Praise be to the One who has created all pairs from what the earth sprouts out and from themselves, and from what they do not know
36:37
And a sign for them is the night, We strip the daylight from it, whereupon they are in darkness
36:38
And the sun runs to a specific destination, such is the design of the Noble, the Knowledgeable
36:39
And the moon We have measured it to appear in stages, until it returns like an old palm sheath
36:40
The sun is not required to overtake the moon, nor will the night precede the day; each of them is swimming in its own orbit
36:41
And a sign for them is that We carried their ancestors on the charged ship
36:42
And We created for them of its similarity, to ride in
36:43
And if We wished, We could drown them, so that their screaming would not be heard, nor could they be saved
36:44
Except through a mercy from Us, and as an enjoyment for awhile.
36:45
And when they are told: "Be aware of your present and your past, that you may attain mercy.
36:46
And no matter what sign comes to them from the signs of their Lord, they turn away from it
36:47
And when they are told: "Spend from what God has provisioned you." Those who reject say to those who believe: "Shall we feed those whom God could feed, if He so willed? You are clearly misguided!
36:48
And they say: "When is this promise to come, if you are truthful?
36:49
They will not realize it when one scream overwhelms them, while they dispute
36:50
They will not even be able to leave a will, nor will they be able to return to their people
36:51
And the horn will be blown, whereupon they will rise from the graves massing towards their Lord
36:52
They will say: "Woe to us! Who has resurrected us from our resting place? This is what the Almighty had promised; and the messengers were truthful!
36:53
It only took one scream, whereupon they are summoned before Us
36:54
On this Day, no soul will be wronged in the least. You will be recompensed precisely for whatever you did
36:55
The dwellers of the Paradise will be, on that Day, joyfully busy
36:56
Both them and their spouses, they will be shaded, reclining on raised couches
36:57
They will have fruits therein; they will have in it whatever they ask for
36:58
Saying of: "Peace" from a Merciful Lord
36:59
"As for you, O criminals, you are singled out.
36:60
"Did I not pledge to you, O Children of Adam, that you should not serve the devil for he is your most ardent enemy?
36:61
"And that you should serve Me? That is a straight path.
36:62
"He has misled mountain loads of you. Did you not comprehend?"
36:63
"This is Hell that you have been promised!
36:64
"Burn in it today, as a consequence of your rejection.
36:65
Today, We shall cease their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will bear witness to everything they had done
36:66
And if We wished, We can blind their eyes, and they would race towards the path, but how would they see
36:67
And if We wished, We can freeze them in their place; thus, they can neither move forward, nor go back
36:68
And for whoever We grant a long life, We weaken him in body. Do they not comprehend
36:69
And We did not teach him poetry, nor does he need it. This is a reminder and a clear Qur'an
36:70
To warn those who are alive, and so that the retribution will be deserved by the rejecters
36:71
Did they not see that We created for them with Our own hands livestock which they own
36:72
And they were subdued by Us for them. So some they ride, and some they eat
36:73
And they have benefits in them, and to drink. Would they not be thankful
36:74
And they have taken besides God other gods, perhaps they will help them
36:75
They cannot help them; while they are soldiers for them
36:76
So do not be saddened by what they say. We are fullyaware of what they conceal and what they declare
36:77
Has man not seen that We have created him from a seed, but he then becomes a clear opponent
36:78
And he puts forth an example for Us, while forgetting his own creation! He says: "Who can resurrect the bones while they are dust?
36:79
Say: "The One who has made them in the first place will resurrect them. He is fully aware of every creation.
36:80
The One who initiated for you a forest fire, by which you learned to light
36:81
Is not the One who has created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of them? Yes indeed; He is the Creator, the Knowledgeable.
36:82
His command, when He wants anything, is to say to it: 'Be,' and it is
36:83
Therefore, praise be to the One in whose Hand is the sovereignty of all things, and to Him you will be returned
