36:1  Y? S?n (Y.S)

36:2  By the Qur ?n, full of Wisdom,

36:3  Verily you are of the messengers,

36:4  On a straight path.

36:5  A revelation of the Mighty, the Merciful.

36:6  That you may warn a people whose fathers were not warned, hence they are heedless.

36:7  The word (of punishment) has been realized against most of them, yet they do not believe.

36:8  Verily, we have put chains on their necks, and these reach up to their chins, so their heads are raised.

36:9  And We have put a barrier in front of them and a barrier behind them, and (further), We have covered them up, so they do not see.

36:10  And the same is to them whether you warn them or you do not warn them, they do not believe.

36:11  You can only warn him who follows the reminder (Qur ?n) and fears the Beneficent (Allah) in secret; so give him the good tidings of forgiveness and a generous wage.

36:12  Verily We shall give life to the dead, and We write down that which they send before and (even) their footprints, and We have numbered everything in a clear Register.

36:13  And coin for them a similitude of the people of the town, when the messengers came to it.

36:14  When We sent unto them two (of Our apostles) they belied them both, then We strengthened (the two) with a third and they said (unto the people): Verily we are messengers to you (from Allah) .

36:15  They said: You are not but men like unto us, nor has the Beneficent (Allah) sent down anything. You are speaking only lies .

36:16  They (the messengers) said: Our Lord knows that we have been sent to you.

36:17  And our duty is only to deliver the clear Message .

36:18  (The pagans told the prophets:) For us, we augur an evil omen from you, if you do not desist, we will certainly stone you, and there shall certainly afflict you a painful chastisement from us .

36:19  They said: your evil omens are with yourselves, (should you augur a bad omen) if you are admonished? But you are a prodigal people .

36:20  And from the farthest part of the city there came a man running; he said: O my people! Follow the messengers;

36:21  Follow those who ask no reward of you, and who are themselves guided.

36:22  And why should not I worship Him Who brought me into being, and unto Whom you all shall be returned.

36:23  Shall I take (other) gods besides Him, if the Beneficent (Allah) desires affliction for me, their intercession shall not avail me aught, neither can they deliver me?

36:24  Verily in that case I shall be in manifest error.

36:25  Verily I have believed in your lord, therefore hear me!

36:26  (Finally he became martyr.) It was said (unto him): Enter Paradise. He said: O would that my people had known,

36:27  That 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, any host from heaven, nor do We ever send down.

36:29  It was no more than a single (heavenly) Blast that suddenly they were still.

36:30  Alas for the servants! Never came there unto them a messenger but they used to mock him!

36:31  Have they not seen how many generations We destroyed before them? Not to them will they return.

36:32  And all of them shall surely be brought before Us.

36:34  And We made therein gardens of date-palms and grape vines, and We caused springs to flow forth in it,

36:35  That they may eat of its fruit, and of what their hands have produced; will they not then be grateful?

36:36  Glory be to Him Who created pairs (of) all things, of what the earth grows, and of their selves and of what they do not know.

36:37  And a sign for them is the night; We strip it of the day and behold they are plunged in darkness.

36:38  And the sun runs unto a resting-place fixed for it; that is the decree of the Mighty, the Knowing.

36:39  And (as for) the moon, We have fixed for it the stages till its returns to be bent like an old palm branch.

36:40  Neither is it expedient for the sun that it should overtake the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day; and each swims along in (its own) orbit.

36:41  And a sign for them is that We bore their offspring in the loaded ship.

36:42  And We have created for them the like of it whereon they ride.

36:43  And if We please, We drown them, then there shall be none to help them, nor shall they be rescued.

36:44  Save (by) mercy from Us, and enjoyment for a while.

36:45  And when it is said to them: Be in awe of that which is before you and that which is behind you; haply you will be treated with mercy, (they turn back).

36:46  And there comes not to them any sign from the signs of their Lord but they turn aside from it.

36:47  And when it is said to them: Spend out of what Allah has provided you with the sustenance, those who disbelieve say to those who believe: Shall we feed him whom, if Allah willed, He could feed (Himself)? You are not but in a manifest error .

36:48  And they say: When will this promise come to pass if you are truthful?

36:49  They are not awaiting for aught but a single (fatal) blast which will overtake them while they are disputing among themselves.

36:50  Then they shall not be able to make a bequest, nor shall they be able to return unto their families.

36:51  And the Trumpet shall be blown, then behold, from their graves they shall hasten on to their Lord.

36:52  They shall say: Oh! woe to us! Who has raised us up from our sleeping-place? This is what the Beneficent (Allah) promised; and the apostles told the truth.

36:53  There would be naught but a single Blast, when they shall all brought before Us.

36:54  So this day no soul shall be dealt with unjustly in the least, nor shall you be recompensed but that which you used to do.

36:55  Verily the inhabitants of Paradise that ay are busy in rejoicing,

36:56  They and their wives shall be in the shades, reclining on raised coaches;

36:57  They shall have fruits therein, and they shall have whatever they desire.

36:58  Peace : is the word from a Merciful Lord (for them).

36:59  And (they will be told) get you aside this day O you the guilty ones!

36:60  Did I not make covenant with you, O children of Adam, that you should not serve the Satan, verily he is a manifest foe to you;

36:61  And that you should serve Me? This is the straight path.

36:62  And yet he has led astray a great number of you. Did you not then understand?

36:63  This is the Hell which you were promised.

36:64  Enter you into it today for what you were disbelieving.

36:65  Today we set a seal on their mouths, and their hands speak to Us, and their feet bear witness as to what they have been earning.

36:66  And if We please, We would obliterate their eyes, then they would race to the way, but how would they see?

36:67  And if We please, We would surely transform them in their place, then they would not be able to go on, nor will they return.

36:68  And whomever We cause to live long, We reverse him to an abject state in constitution; do they not then understand

36:69  And We have not taught him poetry, nor would it beseem him; it is naught but a Reminder and manifesting Qur'?n

36:70  That it may warn him who is alive and the Word may be proved against the disbelievers.

36:71  Have they not seen that We have created for them of that Our hands wrought cattle that of them they own?

36:72  And then (the cattle) We have subdued to them, and some of them they ride upon, and some of them they eat.

36:73  And therein they have benefits and drinks, will they not then be grateful?

36:74  And they have taken gods besides Allah, haply they might be helped.

36:75  They shall not be able to help them; and yet they (the disbelievers) are their host (who in Hereafter) shall be brought forth (in Hell Fire).

36:76  Therefore, let not their speech grieve you. Verily We know what they do in secret and what they do openly.

36:77  Has not man seen that We created him of a sperm-drop? Yet behold! He is an open disputant.

36:78  And he has struck for Us a similitude and forgotten his creation; he says: Who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed?

36:79  Say: He will enliven them who created them for the first time, and He knows all creation,

36:80  He Who made for you fire from the green tree, and behold! from it you kindle (fire).

36:81  Is not He, Who created the heavens and the earth, able to create the like of them? Yes, (He can!) And he is the Creator (Omnipotent), the Knower.

36:82  His command, when he intends anything, is only to say to it Be , so it is.

36:83  So glory be to Him, in Whose hand is the domination of everything, and unto Whom you shall be returned.
