Ya Sin (Ya Sin, Ya-Seen) at IslamAwakened.com

36:1 Ya Sin

36:2 I swear by the Qur’an which is full of Wisdo

36:3 that you are indeed one of the Messengers who are sen

36:4 on a Straight Way

36:5 This Qur’an is revealed by the Almighty, the Merciful

36:6 So that you may warn a people whose forefathers were not warned, hence they are unaware

36:7 In fact, the Word has been proven true against most of them who are arrogant; so they do not believe

36:8 Since they have chosen to neglect Our revelations, We have thus put yokes round their necks right up to their chins so their heads are raised up

36:9 and We have put a barrier in front of them and a barrier behind them, and then We have covered them over so they cannot see

36:10 It is the same for them whether you warn them or warn them not, they will not believe

36:11 You can only warn those who follow the reminder and fears the Compassionate (Allah), though they cannot see Him. To such people give good news of forgiveness and a generous reward

36:12 Surely We shall resurrect the dead, We are recording all that they are sending ahead and that they are leaving behind. We have recorded everything in an open ledger

36:13 Narrate to them the example of the people of a certain town to whom the Messengers came

36:14 At first We sent to them two Messengers, but when they rejected both, We strengthened them with a third and they all said: "Surely we have been sent to you as Messengers."

36:15 But the people replied: "You are but humans like us. The Compassionate (Allah) has revealed nothing; you are surely lying."

36:16 They said: "Our Lord knows that we have indeed been sent as Messengers towards yo

36:17 and our only duty is to convey His message plainly."

36:18 The people replied: "We regard you as an evil omen for us. Desist, or we will either stone you or you will receive from us a painful punishment."

36:19 They said: "Your evil omens lie within yourselves. Do you say this because you are being admonished? Indeed you are a nation of transgressors."

36:20 In the meantime a man came running from the remote part of the City and said: "O my people! Follow these Messengers

36:21 Follow the ones who ask no reward of you and are rightly guided."

36:22 It would not be justifiable on my part if I do not worship Him Who has created me and to Whom you shall be brought back

36:23 Should I take other gods besides Him? If the Compassionate (Allah) should intend to harm me, their intercession will avail me nothing, nor will they be able to save me

36:24 If I do so, I would indeed be in manifest error

36:25 Surely I believe in your Lord, so listen to me."

36:26 Consequently they killed that man and it was said to him: "Enter paradise." He exclaimed: "Would that my people knew that what I know

36:27 How my Lord has granted me forgiveness and included me among the honored ones."

36:28 After that We did not send any army against his people from heaven, nor was it necessary to do so

36:29 It was nothing but a single blast and they all became extinct

36:30 Alas for My bondsmen! Whenever there came to them a Messenger they mocked at him

36:31 Do they not see how many generations We have destroyed before them who will never return to them

36:32 While each one of them will be brought before Us on the Day of Judgment

36:33 The dead land may serve as a sign for them; We give it life and produce from it grain for them, which they eat

36:34 We also produce from it gardens with date-palms and vines, and We cause springs to gush forth from it

36:35 so that they may enjoy the fruits thereof. It was not their hands that made all this; should they not then give thanks

36:36 Glory be to Allah Who created all things in pairs: the plants of the earth, mankind themselves and other living things which they do not know

36:37 Another sign for them is the night; when We withdraw the daylight from it, and behold they are in darkness

36:38 The sun runs its course, this course is predetermined for it by the Almighty, the All-Knowing

36:39 As for the moon, We have designed phases for it till it again becomes like an old dry palm branch

36:40 Neither it is possible for the sun to overtake the moon, nor for the night to outstrip the day: each floats along in its own orbit

36:41 Another sign for them is how We carried their race through the flood in the laden ark

36:42 and similar vessels We have made for them on which they ride

36:43 If We want, We can drown them, and they will have no helper to save them, nor can they be rescued

36:44 except through Our mercy and unless We prolong their lives for a while

36:45 When it is said to them: "Have fear of that which is before you and that which is behind you, so that you may receive mercy," they pay no heed

36:46 Whenever any sign from the revelations of their Lord comes to them, they turn away from it

36:47 Whenever they are asked: "Spend out of what Allah has given you." The disbelievers say to the believers: "Should we feed those whom Allah can feed Himself if He so chooses? You are quite obviously in error!"

36:48 Further, they say: "When will this promise of resurrection come to pass, if what you say is true?"

36:49 In fact what they are waiting for is a single blast, which will seize them while they are yet disputing among themselves in their worldly affairs

36:50 Then, neither they will be able to make a will, nor be able to return to their families

36:51 Then a trumpet shall be blown and, behold, they will rise up from their graves and hasten to their Lord

36:52 They will say: "Oh, Woe to us! Who has raised us up from our graves? They will be told: "This is what the Compassionate (Allah) had promised and true was the word of the Messengers."

36:53 It will be no more than a single blast, and then they will all be gathered before Us

36:54 On that Day no soul will suffer the least injustice and you shall be rewarded according to your deeds

36:55 Surely, on that Day, the residents of paradise will be busy with their joy

36:56 they and their spouses will be in shady groves reclining on soft couches

36:57 They will have all kinds of fruit and they will get whatever they call for

36:58 they will be greeted with the word "Salaam (Peace)" from the Lord of Mercy (Allah)

36:59 While to the sinners He will say: "Get aside today, you criminals

36:60 Did I not enjoin you, O children of Adam, not to worship Satan, who is your open enemy

36:61 and that you should worship Me, which is the Right Way

36:62 Yet, in spite of this, he (Satan) has led a great number of you astray. Didn't you have common sense

36:63 This is the hell, of which you were repeatedly warned

36:64 Now! Enter in it this Day because you persistently rejected the truth."

36:65 On that Day, We shall seal their mouths while their hands will speak to Us and their feet will bear witness to all their misdeeds

36:66 Had it been Our Will, We could surely have blotted out their eyes; and let them run about groping for the way, then how could they see

36:67 And had it been Our Will, We could have nailed them to the ground, then neither could they move forward nor retrace their steps

36:68 Those to whom We grant long life, We reverse their nature. Don’t they understand anything from this

36:69 We have not taught him (Muhammad) poetry, nor does it behoove him. This is nothing but a reminder and a plain Qur’a

36:70 to warn those who are alive and to establish the charge against the disbelievers

36:71 Do they not see that among the other things which Our hands have fashioned, We have created cattle which are under their domination

36:72 We have subjected these animals to them, that they may ride on some and eat the flesh of others

36:73 in them there are other advantages and drinks (milk) for them. Should they not then be grateful

36:74 Yet they have taken other gods besides Allah hoping to get their help

36:75 But they do not have the ability to help them yet their worshippers stand like warriors ready to defend them

36:76 Let not their words grieve you (O Muhammad). Surely We have knowledge of all that they conceal and all that they reveal

36:77 Does not man see that We have created him from a sperm? Yet he stands up as an open adversary

36:78 He starts making comparisons for Us and forgets his own creation. He says: "Who will give life to bones that have been decomposed?"

36:79 Tell them: "He Who has created them for the first time, will give them life again, He is well-versed in every kind of creation

36:80 It is He Who produces for you the spark from the green tree to kindle therewith your own fires

36:81 Does He Who has created the heavens and the earth have no power to create the like thereof?" Of course He does! He is the skilful Creator

36:82 Whenever He intends a thing, He needs only to say: "Be," and it is

36:83 Glory be to Him in Whose hands is the Kingdom of all things; and to Whom you shall all be brought back
