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

36:1 Y. S.

36:2 By the Wise Reading,

36:3 you are an emissary

36:4 [sent] along a Straight Road

36:5 with a revelation from the Powerful, the Merciful,

36:6 so you may warn a folk whose forefathers have not been warned, and hence they are unaware.

36:7 The statement has been proven to be true about most of them, yet they still will not believe.

36:8 We have placed fetters around their necks which reach up to their chins till they seem to be out of joint.

36:9 We have placed a barrier before them and another barrier behind them, and have covered them up so they do not notice anything.

36:10 It is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them; they still will not believe.

36:11 You will only warn someone who follows the Reminder and dreads the Mercy-giving even though He is Unseen. Proclaim forgiveness and generous payment to him.

36:12 We revive the dead and write down whatever they have sent on ahead and [left] as traces; We calculate everything in an open ledger.

36:13 Compose a parable for them about the inhabitants of the town when emissaries came to them.

36:14 When We sent them two, they rejected them both, so We reinforced them with a third.

36:15 They said; "You are only human beings like ourselves. The Mercy-giving has net sent anything down; you are only lying!"

36:16 They said: "Our Lord knows that we have been [sent] to you as emissaries.

36:17 We have only to proclaim things clearly."

36:18 They said: "We sense something unlucky about you; so if you will not stop, we´ll expel you, and painful torment from us will afflict you."

36:19 They said: "The bad luck you sense lies within yourselves. Will you not be reminded? Indeed you are such dissipated folk!"

36:20 A man came hurrying up from the further end of the city. he said: "O my people, follow the emissaries!

36:21 Follow someone who does not ask for any payment while they are being guided."

36:22 Why should I worship the One Who fashioned me and to Whom you will (all) return?

36:23 Should I adopt other gods instead of Him? If the Mercy-giving should want any harm [to happen] to me, their intercession would never help me out in any way nor would they rescue me:

36:24 I´d then be completely lost!

36:25 I believe in your Lord, so hear me!"

36:26 He was told: "Enter the Garden." He said: "If my people only knew

36:27 how my Lord has forgiven me and placed me among the honored ones!"

36:28 We did not send any army down from Heaven to his folk after him, nor do We ever send any down.

36:29 There was only a single Blast, and imagine, they [lay] shriveled up!

36:30 What a pity it is with such worshippers! No messenger has ever come to them unless they made fun of him.

36:31 Have they not seen how many generations We have wiped out before them who will never return to them?

36:32 Each will be arraigned so they all stand before Us.

36:33 The dead earth serves as a sign for them; We revive it and bring forth grain from it which they may eat.

36:34 We have placed date groves and vineyards on it, and make springs flow forth from it

36:35 so they may eat its fruit. Their own hands did not produce it. So, will they not give thanks?

36:36 Glory be to the One Who has created every kind of species such as the earth grows, their own kind, and even some things they do not know!

36:37 Another sign for them is night; We strip daylight off from it so they are plunged into darkness!

36:38 The sun runs along on a course of its own. Such is the design of the Powerful, the Aware!

36:39 And We have designed phases for the moon so it finally appears again like an old palm frond.

36:40 The sun dare not overtake the moon nor does night outpace the day. Each floats along in its own orbit.

36:41 Another for them is how We transported their offspring on the laden ship.

36:42 We have created something like it for them on which they must sail.

36:43 If We wished, We might even let them drown and they would have no one to cry out to, nor would they be rescued

36:44 except as a mercy from Us and to enjoy things for a while.

36:45 When they are told: "Heed what lies in front of you and what´s behind you so that you may find mercy,"

36:46 not one of their Lord´s signs has come to them except they tried to avoid it.

36:47 When they are (also) told: "Spend something God has provided you with," the ones who disbelieve tell those who believe: "Should we feed someone whom God would feed if He so wishes? You are quite obviously in error!"

36:48 They say: "When will this promise occur if you are so truthful?"

36:49 They need only wait for a single Blast to catch them while they are arguing away.

36:50 They will not even manage to draw up a will, nor will they return to their own people.

36:51 The Trumpet will be blow and then they will swarm forth from their tombs to meet their Lord.

36:52 They will say: "It´s too bad for us! Whoever has raised us up from our sleeping quarters? This is what the Mercy-giving promised; the emissaries have been telling the truth."

36:53 There will be only a single Blast and then they will all be assembled in Our presence.

36:54 On that day no soul will be harmed in any way, and you will be rewarded only for what you have been doing.

36:55 The inhabitants of the Garden will be happily at work of that day.

36:56 They and their spouses will relax on couches in shady nooks;

36:57 they will have fruit and they shall have anything they request.

36:58 "Peace!" will be a greeting from a Merciful Lord.

36:59 "Step aside today, you criminals!

36:60 Did I not contract you, O children of Adam, not to serve Satan? He is an open enemy of yours.

36:61 And to worship Me [Alone]! This is a Straight Road.

36:62 He has led a numerous mob of you astray. Haven´t you been reasoning things out?

36:63 This is Hell, which you were threatened with.

36:64 Roast in it today because you have disbelieved!"

36:65 That day We shall seal their mouths up while their hands will speak to Us and their feet bear witness about what they have been earning.

36:66 If We so wished, We would put their eyes out so they must grope along the Road. Yet how will they ever notice [anything]?

36:67 If We wished, We would nail them to the spot so they would not manage to keep on going nor would they ever return.

36:68 Anyone We grant long life to, We switch around within creation. Will they not use their reason?

36:69 We have not taught him any poetry nor would it be fitting for him. It is merely a Reminder and a clear Reading

36:70 so he may warn anyone who is alive and the Sentence may be confirmed against disbelievers.

36:71 Have they not considered how We have created livestock for them out of what Our own hands have made, and they are masters over them?

36:72 We let them tame them: some of them are to be ridden, while others they eat;

36:73 they receive benefits and drinks from them. Will they not act grateful?

36:74 Yet they have adopted [other] gods instead of God [Alone, so that they may be supported.

36:75 They still cannot achieve their support; yet they stand up for them like an army in their presence!

36:76 Do not let their statement sadden you; We know what they are keeping secret and what they are disclosing.

36:77 Has not man considered how We created him from a drop of semen? Yet he is an open adversary!

36:78 He makes something up to be compared with Us and forgets how he was created. He even says: "Who will revive [our] bones once they have rotted away?"

36:79 SAY: "The One Who raised them up in the first place will revive them. He is Aware of all creation,

36:80 the One Who grants you fire from green trees. Notice how you kindle a fire for them.

36:81 Is not Whoever created Heaven and Earth Able to create the same as them?" Of course [He is]! He is the Creator, the Aware.

36:82 Once He wishes anything, His command only needs to tell it: "Be"; and it is!

36:83 Glory be to Him Whose hand holds sovereignty over everything! To Him will you return.
