Ya Sin. |
2. |
By the Qur'án, full of Wisdom -- |
3. |
Thou art indeed one of the messengers. |
4. |
On a Straight Way. |
5. |
It is a Revelation sent down by (Him) the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful. |
6. |
In order that thou mayest admonish a people, whose fathers had received no admonition,
and who therefore remain heedless (of the Signs of Allah). |
7. |
The Word is proved true against the greater part of them; for they do not believe. |
8. |
We have put yokes round their necks right up to their chins, so that their heads are forced up (and they cannot see). |
9. |
And We have put a bar in front of them and a bar behind them,
and further, We have covered them up; so that they cannot see. |
10. |
The same is it to them whether thou admonish them or thou do not admonish them: they will not believe. |
11. |
Thou canst but admonish: such a one as follows the Message and fears the (Lord) Most Gracious, unseen:
give such a one, therefore, good tidings, of Forgiveness and a Reward most generous. |
12. |
Verily We shall give life to the dead,and We record that which they sent before and that which they leave behind,
and of all things have We taken account in a clear Book (of evidence). |
13. |
Set forth to them, by way of a parable, the (story of) the Companions of the City. Behold, there came messengers to it. |
14. |
When We (first) sent to them two messengers, they rejected them: but We strengthened them with a third:
they said, "Truly, we have been sent on a mission to you." |
15. |
The (people) said: "Ye are only men like ourselves; and (Allah) Most Gracious sends no sort of revelation:
Ye do nothing but lie." |
16. |
They said: "Our Lord doth know that we have been sent on a mission to you: |
17. |
"And Our duty is only to proclaim the clear Message." |
18. |
The (people) said: "For us, We augur an evil omen from you:
if ye desist not, we will certainly stone you, and a grievous punishment indeed will be inflicted on you by us." |
19. |
They said: "Your evil omens are with yourselves:
(deem ye this an evil omen), if ye are admonished?
Nay, but ye are a people transgressing all bounds!" |
20. |
Then there came running, from the farthest part of the City, a man,
saying, "O my people! obey the messengers: |
21. |
"Obey those who ask no reward of you (for themselves), and who have themselves received Guidance. |
22. |
"It would not be reasonable in me if I did not serve Him Who created me, and to Whom ye shall (all) be brought back. |
23. |
"Shall I take (other) gods besides Him?
If (Allah) Most Gracious should intend some adversity for me, of no use whatever will be their intercession for me, nor can they deliver me. |
24. |
"I would indeed, if I were to do so, be in manifest Error. |
25. |
"For me, I have faith in the Lord of you (all): listen, then, to me!" |
26. |
It was said: "Enter thou the Garden."
He said: "Ah me! would that my People knew (what I know)! -- |
27. |
"For that my Lord has granted me Forgiveness and has enrolled me among those held in honor!" |
28. |
And We sent not down against his People, after Him, any hosts from heaven, nor was it needful for Us so to do. |
29. |
It was no more than a single mighty Blast, and behold! they were (like ashes) quenched and silent. |
30. |
Ah! alas for (My) servants!
There comes not an messenger to them but they mock Him! |
31. |
See they not how many generations before them We destroyed?
Not to them will they return: |
32. |
But each one of them all -- will be brought before Us (for judgment). |
33. |
A Sign for them is the earth that is dead;
We do give it life, and produce grain therefrom, of which ye do eat. |
34. |
And We produce therein orchards with date-palms and Vines,
and We cause springs to gush forth therein. |
35. |
That they may enjoy the fruits of this (artistry): it was not their hands that made this:
will they not then give thanks? |
36. |
Glory to Allah, Who created in pairs all things that the earth produces, as well as their own (human) kind and (other) things of which they have no knowledge. |
37. |
And a Sign for them is the Night:
We withdraw therefrom the Day, and behold they are plunged in darkness; |
38. |
And the Sun runs his course for a period determined for him:
that is the decree of (Him), the exalted in Might, the All-Knowing. |
39. |
And the Moon -- We have measured for her mansions (to traverse) till she returns like the old (and withered) lower part of date-stalk. |
40. |
It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip the Day:
each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law). |
41. |
And a Sign for them is that We bore their race (through the flood) in the loaded Ark; |
42. |
And We have created for them similar (vessels) on which they ride. |
43. |
If it were Our Will, We could drown them; then would there be no helper (to hear their cry), nor could they be delivered. |
44. |
Except by way of Mercy from Us, and by way of (worldly) convenience (to serve them) for a time. |
45. |
When they are told, "Fear ye that which is before you and that which will be after you, in order that ye may receive Mercy," (they turn back). |
46. |
Not a Sign comes to them from among the Signs of their Lord, but they turn away therefrom. |
47. |
And when they are told, "Spend ye of (the bounties) with which Allah has provided you."
You Unbelievers say to those who believe: "Shall we then feed those whom, if Allah had so willed, He would have fed, (Himself)?
Ye are in nothing but manifest error." |
48. |
Further, they say, "When will this promise (come to pass), if what ye say is true?" |
49. |
They will not (have to) wait for aught but a single Blast: it will seize them while they are yet disputing among themselves! |
50. |
No (chance) will they then have, by will, to dispose (of their affairs), nor to return to their own people! |
51. |
The trumpet shall be sounded, when behold! from the sepulchers (men) will rush forth to their Lord! |
52. |
They will say: "Ah! woe unto us! Who hath raised us up from our beds of repose?...
(A voice will say:) "This is what (Allah) Most Gracious had promised, and true was the word of the messengers!" |
53. |
It will be no more than a single Blast, when lo! they will all be brought up before Us! |
54. |
Then, on that Day, not a soul will be wronged in the least, and ye shall but be repaid the meeds of your past Deeds. |
55. |
Verily the Companions of the Garden shall that Day have joy in all that they do; |
56. |
They and their associates will be in groves of (cool) shade, reclining on thrones (of dignity); |
57. |
(Every) fruit (enjoyment) will be there for them; they shall have whatever they call for; |
58. |
"Peace! -- a Word (of salutation) from a Lord Most Merciful! |
59. |
And O ye in sin! get ye apart this Day! |
60. |
"Did I not enjoin on you, O ye children of Adam, that ye should not worship Satan;
for that he was to you an enemy avowed? -- |
61. |
"And that ye should worship Me, (for that) this was the Straight Way? |
62. |
"But he did lead astray a great multitude of you.
Did ye not, then, understand? |
63. |
"This is the Hell of which ye were (repeatedly) warned! |
64. |
"Embrace ye the (Fire) this Day, for that ye (persistently) rejected (Truth)." |
65. |
That Day shall We set a seal on their mouths.
But their hands will speak to Us, and their feet bear witness, to all that they did. |
66. |
If it had been Our Will, We could surely have blotted out their eyes; then should they have run about groping for the Path, but how could they have seen? |
67. |
And if it had been Our Will, We could have transformed them (to remain) in their places: then should they have been unable to move about, nor could they have returned (after error). |
68. |
If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature:
will they not then understand? |
69. |
We have not instructed the (Prophet) in Poetry, nor is it meet for Him:
this is no less than a Message and a Qur'án making things clear: |
70. |
That it may give admonition to any (who are) alive, and that the charge may be proved against those who reject (Truth). |
71. |
See they not that it is We Who have created for them -- among the things which Our hands have fashioned -- cattle, which are under their dominion? -- |
72. |
And that We have subjected them to their (use)? Of them some do carry them and some they eat: |
73. |
And they have (other) profits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink.
Will they not then be grateful? |
74. |
Yet they take (for worship) gods other than Allah, (hoping) that they might be helped! |
75. |
They have not the power to help them: but they will be brought up (before Our Judgment-Seat) as a troop (to be condemned). |
76. |
Let not their speech, then, grieve thee.
Verily We know what they hide as well as what they disclose. |
77. |
Doth not man see that it is We Who created Him from sperm? Yet behold! he (stands forth) as an open adversary! |
78. |
And he makes comparisons for us, and forgets his own (Origin and) Creation:
he says, "Who can give life to (dry) bones and decomposed ones (at that)?" |
79. |
Say, "He will give them life Who created them for the first time!
For He is well-versed in every kind of creation! -- |
80. |
"The same Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! ye kindle therewith (your own fires)! |
81. |
"Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like thereof?" --
Yea, indeed! for He is the Creator Supreme, of skill and knowledge (infinite)! |
82. |
Verily, when He intends a thing, His command is, "Be," and it is! |
83. |
So glory to Him in Whose hands is the dominion of all things; and to Him will ye be all brought back. ********* |
