36:1 | | Y. S |
36:2 | | And the Quran of wisdom |
36:3 | | You are one of the messengers |
36:4 | | Upon a straight path |
36:5 | | The revelation of the Most Honourable, Most 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 direction |
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 reverences 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 cite 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 replied: "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 replied: "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 Paradise." He said "Oh, how I wish my people only knew!" |
36:27 | | "Of what my Lord has forgiven me, and made me of the honoured ones." |
36:28 | | And We did not send down upon his people after him soldiers from the sky; 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 ridicule him |
36:31 | | Did they not see how many generations We destroyed before them, do they not go back to the |
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 thankfu |
36:36 | | Praise be to the One who 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 remove 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 to being like an old curved 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. 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 Paradise will be, on that Day, joyfully busy |
36:56 | | Both them and their spouses, they will be shaded, reclining on high furnishings |
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 possess any understanding" |
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 seal 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 whomever We grant a long life, We weaken him in body. Do they not understan |
36:69 | | And We did not teach him poetry, nor does he need it. This is a reminder and a clear Quran |
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 ow |
36:72 | | And they were subdued by Us for them. So some they ride, and some they eat |
36:73 | | And they have in them other benefits, as well as drinks. Would they not be appreciativ |
36:74 | | And they have taken besides God other gods, perhaps they will help them |
36:75 | | They cannot help them. And they become to them as foot-soldiers |
36:76 | | So do not be saddened by what they say. We are fully aware of what they conceal and what they declare |
36:77 | | Has man not seen that We have created him from a seed, that he would become a clear enem |
36:78 | | And he cites 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 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 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 |
