| 36:1 | | Y[ S . |
| 36:2 | | By the Wise Quran, |
| 36:3 | | truly, thou art among the ones who are sent |
| 36:4 | | on a straight path, |
| 36:5 | | sent down successively by The Almighty, The Compassionate that |
| 36:6 | | thou warnest a folk whose fathers were not warned, so they were ones who were heedless. |
| 36:7 | | Certainly, the saying was realized against most of them for they believe not. |
| 36:8 | | We laid yokes on their necks up to the chins, so that they are ones who are stiff-necked. |
| 36:9 | | And We laid in advance of them an embankment and behind them an embankment. Then, We covered them so they perceive not. |
| 36:10 | | And equal it is to them whether thou warn them, or thou warn them not. They will not believe. |
| 36:11 | | Thou hast only warned whoever followed the Remembrance and dreaded The Merciful in the unseen, so give him good tidings of forgiveness and a generous compensation. |
| 36:12 | | Truly, We give life to the dead and We write down what they put forward and their effects. We counted everything in a clear record. |
| 36:13 | | And propound a parable for them: The Companions of the Town when ones who were sent drew near them. |
| 36:14 | | When We sent to them two, they denied them both, so We replenished them with the third. And they said: Truly, We are ones who are sent to you. |
| 36:15 | | They said: You are nothing but mortals like ourselves and The Merciful caused not to descend anything. You are but lying! |
| 36:16 | | They said: Our Lord knows that we are ones who are sent to you. |
| 36:17 | | On us is only the delivering of the clear message. |
| 36:18 | | They said: Truly, we augured ill of you. If you refrain not yourselves, we will, certainly, stone you. Certainly, a painful punishment will afflict you from us. |
| 36:19 | | They said: Ones who auger ill will be with you! Is it because you were reminded? Nay! You are a folk, ones who are excessive. |
| 36:20 | | A man drew near from the farther part of the city, coming eagerly. He said: O my folk! Follow the ones who are sent! |
| 36:21 | | Follow whoever asks not of you any compensation and they are ones who are truly guided. |
| 36:22 | | What is it for me that I worship not Him Who originated me and to Whom you will be returned? |
| 36:23 | | Will I take gods to myself other than He when, if The Merciful wants any harm for me, their intercession will not avail me at all nor will they save me. |
| 36:24 | | Truly, I would, then, be clearly going astray. |
| 36:25 | | Truly, I believed in your Lord so hear me! |
| 36:26 | | It was said: Enter the Garden. He said: O would that my folk know |
| 36:27 | | that my Lord forgave me and made me one who is honored! |
| 36:28 | | After him We caused not to descend on his folk an army from heaven, nor had We been ones who need to cause to descend again. |
| 36:29 | | It would be but one Cry and that is when they were ones who are silent and still. |
| 36:30 | | O how regrettable of the servants! A Messenger approaches them not, but they had been ridiculing him. |
| 36:31 | | Consider they not how many generations We caused to perish before them who, truly, return not to them. |
| 36:32 | | And, truly, all of them will be altogether, ones who are charged in Our Presence. |
| 36:33 | | And a sign for them is the dead body of the earth. We gave life to it and We brought out grain from it so that they eat from it. |
| 36:34 | | We made in them gardens of date palm trees and grapevines and We caused a spring to gush forth in it |
| 36:35 | | so that they may eat of the fruit from there that are not what their hands did. Will they, then, not give thanks? |
| 36:36 | | Glory be to Him Who created pairs, all of them, of what the earth causes to develop as well as of themselves and of what they know not! |
| 36:37 | | And a sign for them is the nighttime. We pluck the daytime from it and that is when they are ones in darkness! |
| 36:38 | | And the sun runs to a resting place for it. That is foreordained by The Almighty, The Knowing. |
| 36:39 | | And for the moon We ordained mansions until it reverted like an ripe aged, dry, date stalk. |
| 36:40 | | It is not fit and proper for the sun to overtake the moon nor the nighttime one to take the lead over the daytime. They each swim in an orbit. |
| 36:41 | | A sign for them is that We carried their offspring in a laden boat. |
| 36:42 | | And We created for them of its like that they ride. |
| 36:43 | | And if We will, We drown them with none for them to whom they cry aloud for help nor will they be saved |
| 36:44 | | unless it be a mercy from Us and as an enjoyment for a while. |
| 36:45 | | And when it was said to them: Be Godfearing of what is in advance of you and what is behind you, so that perhaps you will find mercy, |
| 36:46 | | there never approaches them any sign from the signs of their Lord, but they had been ones who turn aside from it. |
| 36:47 | | And when it was said to them: Spend of whatever God provided you, those who were ungrateful said to those who believed: Will we feed him whom He would have fed, if He wills? You are nothing, but in a clear going astray. |
| 36:48 | | And they say: When is this promise if you had been ones who are sincere? |
| 36:49 | | They expect but one Cry which will take them while they strive against one another. |
| 36:50 | | Then, they will not be able to leave a legacy nor will they return to their people. |
| 36:51 | | And the trumpet would be blown! That is when they will be sliding down to their Lord from their tombs. |
| 36:52 | | They would say: Woe on us! Who raised us up from our place of sleep? This is what The Merciful promised and the ones who are sent were sincere. |
| 36:53 | | It would be but one Cry. That is when they will be in Our Presence altogether, ones who are charged. |
| 36:54 | | This Day no soul will be wronged at all nor will you be given recompense but for what you had been doing. |
| 36:55 | | Truly, the Companions of the Garden that Day are ones who are joyful in their engagements. |
| 36:56 | | They and their spouses, in shade on raised benches, ones who are reclining. |
| 36:57 | | They will have in it sweet fruits and they will have whatever they call for: |
| 36:58 | | Peace! A saying from the Compassionate Lord. |
| 36:59 | | And be separated on this Day, O ones who sin! |
| 36:60 | | Make I not a compact with you, O Children of Adam, that you not worship Satan? Truly, he is a clear enemy |
| 36:61 | | and that you should worship Me. This is a straight path. |
| 36:62 | | And, certainly, He caused to go astray many an array of you. Be you not, then, reasonable? |
| 36:63 | | This is hell which you had been promised. |
| 36:64 | | Roast in it this Day because you had been ungrateful. |
| 36:65 | | On this Day We will seal over their mouths and their hands will speak to Us and their feet will bear witness to what they had been earning. |
| 36:66 | | And if We will, We would, certainly, have obliterated their eyes. Then, they would race towards the path. How would they have perceived? |
| 36:67 | | And if We will, We would, certainly, have transformed their ability. Then, they would not have been able to pass on, nor would they return. |
| 36:68 | | And he to whom We give a long life, We bend him over in his constitution. Will they not, then, be reasonable? |
| 36:69 | | We taught him not poetry, nor is it fit and proper for him. It is but a Remembrance and a clear Recitation |
| 36:70 | | to warn whoever had been living and that the saying be realized against the ones who are ungrateful. |
| 36:71 | | Consider they not how We created for them—out of what Our hands did— flocks, so they were of them ones who are owners? |
| 36:72 | | And We subdued them for them so that of them, some are riding animals and some of them, they eat. |
| 36:73 | | And they have profits from them and providing a place from which to drink. Will they not, then, give thanks? |
| 36:74 | | And they took to themselves gods other than God so that perhaps they will be helped. |
| 36:75 | | They are not able to help them while they are to them as a charged army. |
| 36:76 | | So let not their saying dishearten thee.• Truly, We know what they keep secret and what they speak openly. |
| 36:77 | | Consider not the human being that We created him from seminal fluid? That is when he is a clear adversary. |
| 36:78 | | He propounded parables for Us and forgot his own creation. He said: Who will give life to these bones when they decayed? |
| 36:79 | | Say: He will give life to them Who caused them to grow the first time and He is The Knowing of every creation. |
| 36:80 | | It is He Who made for you fire out of a green tree. That is when you kindle from it. |
| 36:81 | | Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth One Who Has Power to create the like of them? Yea! And He is The Knowing Creator. |
| 36:82 | | Truly, His command when He wanted a thing is but to say to it: Be! Then, it is! |
| 36:83 | | Then, Glory be to Him in whose hand is the Kingdom of everything! And to Him you will be returned. |
