| 36:1 | | Ya Sin |
| 36:2 | | By the Qur'an, full of wisdom |
| 36:3 | | Thou art, indeed, one of the Messengers |
| 36:4 | | On the right path |
| 36:5 | | This is a revelation from the Mighty, the Merciful |
| 36:6 | | That thou mayest warn a people whose fathers were not warned, and so they are heedless |
| 36:7 | | Surely, the word has proved true against most of them, for they believe not |
| 36:8 | | WE have put round their necks collars reaching unto their chins, so that their heads are raised up |
| 36:9 | | And WE have set a barrier before them and a barrier behind them, and have covered them over, so that they cannot see |
| 36:10 | | Alike it is to them whether thou warn them or warn them not; they will not believe |
| 36:11 | | Thou canst warn only him who would follow the Reminder and fear the Gracious God in secret. So give him the glad tidings of forgiveness and a noble reward |
| 36:12 | | Surely, WE alone give life to the dead, and WE write down that which they send forward and that which they leave behind; and all things WE have recorded in a clear Book |
| 36:13 | | And set forth to them the parable of a people of the town, when the Messengers came to it |
| 36:14 | | When WE sent to them two Messengers they rejected them both; so WE strengthened them by a third; and they said, `Verily, we have been sent to you as Messengers. |
| 36:15 | | They replied, `You are only human beings like us and the Gracious God has not revealed anything. You are only lying. |
| 36:16 | | They said, `Our Lord knows that we are, indeed HIS Messengers to you |
| 36:17 | | `And our duty is only plain delivery of the Message. |
| 36:18 | | The disbelievers said, `Surely, we augur evil fortune from you; if you desist not, we will, certainly, stone you, and a painful punishment will, surely, befall you at our hands. |
| 36:19 | | The Messengers replied, `Your evil fortune is with your ownselves. Do you say this because you have been admonished? Nay, you are a people transgressing all bounds. |
| 36:20 | | And from the farthest part of the town there came a man running. He said, `O my People, follow the Messengers |
| 36:21 | | `Follow those who ask of you no reward, and who are rightly guided |
| 36:22 | | `And why should I not worship HIM Who has created me, and unto Whom you will be brought back |
| 36:23 | | `Shall I take others beside HIM as gods? If the Gracious God should intend me any harm, their intercession will avail me naught, nor can they rescue me |
| 36:24 | | `In that case I should, indeed, be in manifest error |
| 36:25 | | `I believe in your Lord; so listen to me. |
| 36:26 | | It was said to him, Do thou enter Paradise.' He said, `O, would that my people knew |
| 36:27 | | `How graciously my Lord has granted me forgiveness and has made me of the honoured ones ! |
| 36:28 | | And WE sent not down against his people, after him, any host from heaven, nor do WE send down any such |
| 36:29 | | It was but a single blast and lo ! they were extinct |
| 36:30 | | Alas for my servants ! there comes not a Messenger to them but they mock at him |
| 36:31 | | Do they not see how many generations WE have destroyed before them, and that they never come back to them |
| 36:32 | | And all of them, gathered together, will certainly be brought before US |
| 36:33 | | And the dead earth is a Sign for them; WE quicken it and bring forth therefrom grain, of which they eat |
| 36:34 | | And WE have placed in it Gardens of date-palms and grapes, and WE have caused springs to gush forth therein |
| 36:35 | | That they may eat of the fruit thereof, and it was not there hands that made them grow up. Will they not then be grateful |
| 36:36 | | Holy is HE Who created all things in pairs, of what the earth grows and of themselves, and of what they know not |
| 36:37 | | And a Sign for them is the night from which WE strip off the day, and lo ! they are left in darkness |
| 36:38 | | And the sun is moving on to its determined goal. That is the decree of the Almighty, the All-Knowing God |
| 36:39 | | And for the moon WE have appointed stages, till it becomes again like an old dry twig of a palm-tree |
| 36:40 | | It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day. All of them float smoothly in an orbit |
| 36:41 | | And a Sign for them is that WE carry their offspring in the laden ships |
| 36:42 | | And WE will create for them the like thereof whereon they will ride |
| 36:43 | | And if WE so willed, WE could drown them; then they would have no one to succour them, nor would they be rescued |
| 36:44 | | Except through mercy from US and a provision for a time |
| 36:45 | | And when it is said to them, `Guard yourselves against that which is before you through Prayer and that which is behind you through repentance, that you may receive mercy,' they turn away |
| 36:46 | | And there comes not to them any Sign out of the Signs of their Lord, but they turn away from it |
| 36:47 | | And when it is said to them, `Spend out of that which ALLAH has given you,' those who disbelieve say to those who believe, `Shall we feed him whom ALLAH would have fed, if HE had so willed? You are but in manifest error. |
| 36:48 | | And they say, `When will this promise of punishment be fulfilled, if you are truthful? |
| 36:49 | | They are waiting only for a single blast which will seize them while they are still disputing |
| 36:50 | | And they will not be able to make a will nor will they return to their families |
| 36:51 | | And the trumpet shall be blown, and lo ! from the graves they will hasten on to their Lord |
| 36:52 | | They will say to one another, `O woe to us ! who has raised us from our place of sleep? This is what the Gracious God had promised, and the Messengers, indeed, spoke the truth. |
| 36:53 | | It will be one blast and lo ! they will all be brought before US |
| 36:54 | | And on that day no soul will be wronged in aught; nor will you be requited but for what you used to do |
| 36:55 | | Verily, the inmates of heaven will, on that day, be happy in their occupation |
| 36:56 | | They and their wives will be in pleasant shades, reclining on raised couches |
| 36:57 | | They will have fruits therein, and they will have whatever they call for |
| 36:58 | | They will be greeted with Peace - a word of greeting from the Merciful Lord |
| 36:59 | | And God will say, `Separate yourselves from the righteous this day, O ye guilty ones |
| 36:60 | | `Did I not enjoin on you, O ye sons of Adam, that you worship not Satan - for he is to you an open enemy |
| 36:61 | | `And that you worship ME? This is the right path |
| 36:62 | | `And he did lead astray a great multitude of you. Why did you not then understand |
| 36:63 | | `This is Hell which you were promised |
| 36:64 | | `Enter it this day because you disbelieved. |
| 36:65 | | This day we shall put a seal on their mouths, and their hands will speak to US, and their feet will bear witness to what they had earned |
| 36:66 | | And if WE had so willed, WE could have put out their eyes, then they would have rushed unseeing to find the way. But, how could they see |
| 36:67 | | And if WE had so willed, WE could have transformed them in their places, then they would not be able to move forward or turn back |
| 36:68 | | And him whom WE grant long life - WE revert him to a weak state in creation. Will they not then understand |
| 36:69 | | And WE have not taught him poetry, nor does it behove him to be a poet. It is but a reminder and a Qur'an that expounds and makes things plain |
| 36:70 | | That it may warn all who are alive, and that the decree of ALLAH may be fulfilled concerning the disbelievers |
| 36:71 | | Do they not see that, among the things which Our hands have wrought, WE have created for them cattle of which they are masters |
| 36:72 | | And WE have subjected the same to them, so that some of them they use for riding, and of the flesh of some they eat |
| 36:73 | | And in them they have other uses, and also drinks. Will they not, then, be grateful |
| 36:74 | | And they have taken other gods beside ALLAH that they might be helped |
| 36:75 | | But they are not able to help them. On the contrary, they will be brought before God in a body to bear witness against them |
| 36:76 | | So let not their speech grieve thee. Verily, WE know what they conceal and what they proclaim |
| 36:77 | | Does not man see that WE have created him from a mere sperm-drop? Then lo ! he is an open quarreler |
| 36:78 | | And he coins similitudes for US and forgets his own creation. He says, `Who can quicken the bones when they are decayed? |
| 36:79 | | Say, `HE, Who created them the first time, will quicken them; and HE knows well the condition of every created thing |
| 36:80 | | HE Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, and behold, you kindle from it |
| 36:81 | | Has not HE who created the heavens and the earth the power to create the like of them?' Yea, and HE is, indeed, the Supreme Creator, the All-Knowing |
| 36:82 | | Verily, HIS command, when HE intends a thing, is only that HE says concerning it, `Be,' and it comes into being |
| 36:83 | | So Holy is HE, in Whose hand is the dominion of all things. And to HIM will you be brought back |
