Surah Yasin

يسٓ  

Ya Sin.

وَٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ ٱلۡحَكِيمِ  

By the Qur'án, full of Wisdom --

إِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ  

Thou art indeed one of the messengers.

عَلَىٰ صِرَٲطٍ۬ مُّسۡتَقِيمٍ۬  

On a Straight Way.

تَنزِيلَ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ  

It is a Revelation sent down by (Him) the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.

لِتُنذِرَ قَوۡمً۬ا مَّآ أُنذِرَ ءَابَآؤُهُمۡ فَهُمۡ غَـٰفِلُونَ  

In order that thou mayest admonish a people, whose fathers had received no admonition, and who therefore remain heedless (of the Signs of Allah).

لَقَدۡ حَقَّ ٱلۡقَوۡلُ عَلَىٰٓ أَكۡثَرِهِمۡ فَهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ  

The Word is proved true against the greater part of them; for they do not believe.

إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَا فِىٓ أَعۡنَـٰقِهِمۡ أَغۡلَـٰلاً۬ فَهِىَ إِلَى ٱلۡأَذۡقَانِ فَهُم مُّقۡمَحُونَ  

We have put yokes round their necks right up to their chins, so that their heads are forced up (and they cannot see).

وَجَعَلۡنَا مِنۢ بَيۡنِ أَيۡدِيہِمۡ سَدًّ۬ا وَمِنۡ خَلۡفِهِمۡ سَدًّ۬ا فَأَغۡشَيۡنَـٰهُمۡ فَهُمۡ لَا يُبۡصِرُونَ  

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.

وَسَوَآءٌ عَلَيۡہِمۡ ءَأَنذَرۡتَهُمۡ أَمۡ لَمۡ تُنذِرۡهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ  

The same is it to them whether thou admonish them or thou do not admonish them: they will not believe.

إِنَّمَا تُنذِرُ مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلذِّڪۡرَ وَخَشِىَ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنَ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِۖ

Thou canst but admonish: such a one as follows the Message and fears the (Lord) Most Gracious, unseen:

فَبَشِّرۡهُ بِمَغۡفِرَةٍ۬ وَأَجۡرٍ۬ ڪَرِيمٍ  

give such a one, therefore, good tidings, of Forgiveness and a Reward most generous.

إِنَّا نَحۡنُ نُحۡىِ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ وَنَڪۡتُبُ مَا قَدَّمُواْ وَءَاثَـٰرَهُمۡۚ

Verily We shall give life to the dead,and We record that which they sent before and that which they leave behind,

وَكُلَّ شَىۡءٍ أَحۡصَيۡنَـٰهُ فِىٓ إِمَامٍ۬ مُّبِينٍ۬  

and of all things have We taken account in a clear Book (of evidence).

وَٱضۡرِبۡ لَهُم مَّثَلاً أَصۡحَـٰبَ ٱلۡقَرۡيَةِ إِذۡ جَآءَهَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ  

Set forth to them, by way of a parable, the (story of) the Companions of the City. Behold, there came messengers to it.

إِذۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡہِمُ ٱثۡنَيۡنِ فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَعَزَّزۡنَا بِثَالِثٍ۬ فَقَالُوٓاْ إِنَّآ إِلَيۡكُم مُّرۡسَلُونَ  

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."

قَالُواْ مَآ أَنتُمۡ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ۬ مِّثۡلُنَاوَمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنُ مِن شَىۡءٍ  إِنۡ أَنتُمۡ إِلَّا تَكۡذِبُونَ

The (people) said: "Ye are only men like ourselves; and (Allah) Most Gracious sends no sort of revelation: Ye do nothing but lie."

قَالُواْ رَبُّنَا يَعۡلَمُ إِنَّآ إِلَيۡكُمۡ لَمُرۡسَلُونَ  

They said: "Our Lord doth know that we have been sent on a mission to you:

وَمَا عَلَيۡنَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡبَلَـٰغُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ  

"And Our duty is only to proclaim the clear Message."

قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا تَطَيَّرۡنَا بِكُمۡۖ

The (people) said: "For us, We augur an evil omen from you:

لَٮِٕن لَّمۡ تَنتَهُواْ لَنَرۡجُمَنَّكُمۡ وَلَيَمَسَّنَّكُم مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ۬  

if ye desist not, we will certainly stone you, and a grievous punishment indeed will be inflicted on you by us."

قَالُواْ طَـٰٓٮِٕرُكُم مَّعَكُمۡۚ

They said: "Your evil omens are with yourselves:

أَٮِٕن ذُڪِّرۡتُمۚ

(deem ye this an evil omen), if ye are admonished?

بَلۡ أَنتُمۡ قَوۡمٌ۬ مُّسۡرِفُونَ  

Nay, but ye are a people transgressing all bounds!"

وَجَآءَ مِنۡ أَقۡصَا ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ رَجُلٌ۬ يَسۡعَىٰ قَالَ يَـٰقَوۡمِ ٱتَّبِعُواْ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ  

Then there came running, from the farthest part of the City, a man, saying, "O my people! obey the messengers:

ٱتَّبِعُواْ مَن لَّا يَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ أَجۡرً۬ا وَهُم مُّهۡتَدُونَ  

"Obey those who ask no reward of you (for themselves), and who have themselves received Guidance.

وَمَا لِىَ لَآ أَعۡبُدُ ٱلَّذِى فَطَرَنِى وَإِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ  

"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.

ءَأَتَّخِذُ مِن دُونِهِۦۤ ءَالِهَةً

"Shall I take (other) gods besides Him?

إِن يُرِدۡنِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنُ بِضُرٍّ۬ لَّا تُغۡنِ عَنِّى شَفَـٰعَتُهُمۡ شَيۡـًٔ۬ا وَلَا يُنقِذُونِ  

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.

إِنِّىٓ إِذً۬ا لَّفِى ضَلَـٰلٍ۬ مُّبِينٍ  

"I would indeed, if I were to do so, be in manifest Error.

إِنِّىٓ ءَامَنتُ بِرَبِّكُمۡ فَٱسۡمَعُونِ  

"For me, I have faith in the Lord of you (all): listen, then, to me!"

قِيلَ ٱدۡخُلِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَۖ

It was said: "Enter thou the Garden."

قَالَ يَـٰلَيۡتَ قَوۡمِى يَعۡلَمُونَ  

He said: "Ah me! would that my People knew (what I know)! --

بِمَا غَفَرَ لِى رَبِّى وَجَعَلَنِى مِنَ ٱلۡمُكۡرَمِينَ

"For that my Lord has granted me Forgiveness and has enrolled me among those held in honor!"

وَمَآ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ مِن جُندٍ۬ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا كُنَّا مُنزِلِينَ  

And We sent not down against his People, after Him, any hosts from heaven, nor was it needful for Us so to do.

إِن كَانَتۡ إِلَّا صَيۡحَةً۬ وَٲحِدَةً۬ فَإِذَا هُمۡ خَـٰمِدُونَ  

It was no more than a single mighty Blast, and behold! they were (like ashes) quenched and silent.

يَـٰحَسۡرَةً عَلَى ٱلۡعِبَادِ‌ۚ

Ah! alas for (My) servants!

مَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَہۡزِءُونَ  

There comes not an messenger to them but they mock Him!

أَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ كَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا قَبۡلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡقُرُونِ

See they not how many generations before them We destroyed?

أَنَّہُمۡ إِلَيۡہِمۡ لَا يَرۡجِعُونَ  

Not to them will they return:

وَإِن كُلٌّ۬ لَّمَّا جَمِيعٌ۬ لَّدَيۡنَا مُحۡضَرُونَ  

But each one of them all -- will be brought before Us (for judgment).

وَءَايَةٌ۬ لَّهُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ ٱلۡمَيۡتَةُ

A Sign for them is the earth that is dead;

أَحۡيَيۡنَـٰهَاوَأَخۡرَجۡنَا مِنۡہَا حَبًّ۬ا فَمِنۡهُ يَأۡڪُلُونَ  

We do give it life, and produce grain therefrom, of which ye do eat.

وَجَعَلۡنَا فِيهَا جَنَّـٰتٍ۬ مِّن نَّخِيلٍ۬ وَأَعۡنَـٰبٍ۬

And We produce therein orchards with date-palms and Vines,

وَفَجَّرۡنَا فِيہَا مِنَ ٱلۡعُيُونِ  

and We cause springs to gush forth therein.

لِيَأۡڪُلُواْ مِن ثَمَرِهِۦ وَمَا عَمِلَتۡهُ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ‌ۖ أَفَلَا يَشۡڪُرُونَ  

That they may enjoy the fruits of this (artistry): it was not their hands that made this: will they not then give thanks?

سُبۡحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلۡأَزۡوَٲجَ ڪُلَّهَا مِمَّا تُنۢبِتُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمِنۡ أَنفُسِهِمۡ وَمِمَّا لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ  

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.

وَءَايَةٌ۬ لَّهُمُ ٱلَّيۡلُ نَسۡلَخُ مِنۡهُ ٱلنَّہَارَ فَإِذَا هُم مُّظۡلِمُونَ  

And a Sign for them is the Night: We withdraw therefrom the Day, and behold they are plunged in darkness;

وَٱلشَّمۡسُ تَجۡرِى لِمُسۡتَقَرٍّ۬ لَّهَا‌ۚ

And the Sun runs his course for a period determined for him:

ذَٲلِكَ تَقۡدِيرُ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡعَلِيمِ  

that is the decree of (Him), the exalted in Might, the All-Knowing.

وَٱلۡقَمَرَ قَدَّرۡنَـٰهُ مَنَازِلَ حَتَّىٰ عَادَ كَٱلۡعُرۡجُونِ ٱلۡقَدِيمِ  

And the Moon -- We have measured for her mansions (to traverse) till she returns like the old (and withered) lower part of date-stalk.

لَا ٱلشَّمۡسُ يَنۢبَغِى لَهَآ أَن تُدۡرِكَ ٱلۡقَمَرَ وَلَا ٱلَّيۡلُ سَابِقُ ٱلنَّہَارِ‌ۚ

It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip the Day:

وَكُلٌّ۬ فِى فَلَكٍ۬ يَسۡبَحُونَ  

each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law).

وَءَايَةٌ۬ لَّهُمۡ أَنَّا حَمَلۡنَا ذُرِّيَّتَہُمۡ فِى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ

And a Sign for them is that We bore their race (through the flood) in the loaded Ark;

وَخَلَقۡنَا لَهُم مِّن مِّثۡلِهِۦ مَا يَرۡكَبُونَ

And We have created for them similar (vessels) on which they ride.

وَإِن نَّشَأۡ نُغۡرِقۡهُمۡ فَلَا صَرِيخَ لَهُمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يُنقَذُونَ

If it were Our Will, We could drown them; then would there be no helper (to hear their cry), nor could they be delivered.

إِلَّا رَحۡمَةً۬ مِّنَّا وَمَتَـٰعًا إِلَىٰ حِينٍ۬  

Except by way of Mercy from Us, and by way of (worldly) convenience (to serve them) for a time.

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱتَّقُواْ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيكُمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُونَ

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).

وَمَا تَأۡتِيہِم مِّنۡ ءَايَةٍ۬ مِّنۡ ءَايَـٰتِ رَبِّہِمۡ إِلَّا كَانُواْ عَنۡہَا مُعۡرِضِينَ

Not a Sign comes to them from among the Signs of their Lord, but they turn away therefrom.

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ أَنفِقُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ

And when they are told, "Spend ye of (the bounties) with which Allah has provided you."

قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ڪَفَرُواْ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْأَنُطۡعِمُ مَن لَّوۡ يَشَآءُ ٱللَّهُ أَطۡعَمَهُ ۥۤ

You Unbelievers say to those who believe: "Shall we then feed those whom, if Allah had so willed, He would have fed, (Himself)?

إِنۡ أَنتُمۡ إِلَّا فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ۬ مُّبِينٍ۬  

Ye are in nothing but manifest error."

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰدِقِينَ

Further, they say, "When will this promise (come to pass), if what ye say is true?"

مَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا صَيۡحَةً۬ وَٲحِدَةً۬ تَأۡخُذُهُمۡ وَهُمۡ يَخِصِّمُونَ

They will not (have to) wait for aught but a single Blast: it will seize them while they are yet disputing among themselves!

فَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ تَوۡصِيَةً۬ وَلَآ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِمۡ يَرۡجِعُونَ

No (chance) will they then have, by will, to dispose (of their affairs), nor to return to their own people!

وَنُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَإِذَا هُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَجۡدَاثِ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ يَنسِلُونَ  

The trumpet shall be sounded, when behold! from the sepulchers (men) will rush forth to their Lord!

قَالُواْ يَـٰوَيۡلَنَا مَنۢ بَعَثَنَا مِن مَّرۡقَدِنَاۜ‌ۗ

They will say: "Ah! woe unto us! Who hath raised us up from our beds of repose?...

هَـٰذَا مَا وَعَدَ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنُ وَصَدَقَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ  

(A voice will say:) "This is what (Allah) Most Gracious had promised, and true was the word of the messengers!"

إِن ڪَانَتۡ إِلَّا صَيۡحَةً۬ وَٲحِدَةً۬ فَإِذَا هُمۡ جَمِيعٌ۬ لَّدَيۡنَا مُحۡضَرُونَ  

It will be no more than a single Blast, when lo! they will all be brought up before Us!

فَٱلۡيَوۡمَ لَا تُظۡلَمُ نَفۡسٌ۬ شَيۡـًٔ۬اوَلَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ إِلَّا مَا ڪُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ  

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.

إِنَّ أَصۡحَـٰبَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ فِى شُغُلٍ۬ فَـٰكِهُونَ  

Verily the Companions of the Garden shall that Day have joy in all that they do;

هُمۡ وَأَزۡوَٲجُهُمۡ فِى ظِلَـٰلٍ عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآٮِٕكِ مُتَّكِـُٔونَ  

They and their associates will be in groves of (cool) shade, reclining on thrones (of dignity);

لَهُمۡ فِيہَا فَـٰكِهَةٌ۬ وَلَهُم مَّا يَدَّعُونَ  

(Every) fruit (enjoyment) will be there for them; they shall have whatever they call for;

سَلَـٰمٌ۬ قَوۡلاً۬ مِّن رَّبٍّ۬ رَّحِيمٍ۬  

"Peace! -- a Word (of salutation) from a Lord Most Merciful!

وَٱمۡتَـٰزُواْ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ أَيُّہَا ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ

And O ye in sin! get ye apart this Day!

أَلَمۡ أَعۡهَدۡ إِلَيۡكُمۡ يَـٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ أَن لَّا تَعۡبُدُواْ ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنَ‌ۖ

"Did I not enjoin on you, O ye children of Adam, that ye should not worship Satan;

إِنَّهُ ۥ لَكُمۡ عَدُوٌّ۬ مُّبِينٌ۬  

for that he was to you an enemy avowed? --

وَأَنِ ٱعۡبُدُونِى‌ۚ هَـٰذَا صِرَٲطٌ۬ مُّسۡتَقِيمٌ۬  

"And that ye should worship Me, (for that) this was the Straight Way?

وَلَقَدۡ أَضَلَّ مِنكُمۡ جِبِلاًّ۬ كَثِيرًا‌ۖ

"But he did lead astray a great multitude of you.

أَفَلَمۡ تَكُونُواْ تَعۡقِلُونَ  

Did ye not, then, understand?

هَـٰذِهِۦ جَهَنَّمُ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُمۡ تُوعَدُونَ  

 "This is the Hell of which ye were (repeatedly) warned!

ٱصۡلَوۡهَا ٱلۡيَوۡمَ بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَكۡفُرُونَ  

"Embrace ye the (Fire) this Day, for that ye (persistently) rejected (Truth)."

ٱلۡيَوۡمَ نَخۡتِمُ عَلَىٰٓ أَفۡوَٲهِهِمۡ

That Day shall We set a seal on their mouths.

وَتُكَلِّمُنَآ أَيۡدِيہِمۡ وَتَشۡہَدُ أَرۡجُلُهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ

But their hands will speak to Us, and their feet bear witness, to all that they did.

وَلَوۡ نَشَآءُ لَطَمَسۡنَا عَلَىٰٓ أَعۡيُنِہِمۡ فَٱسۡتَبَقُواْ ٱلصِّرَٲطَ فَأَنَّىٰ يُبۡصِرُونَ

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?

وَلَوۡ نَشَآءُ لَمَسَخۡنَـٰهُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَڪَانَتِهِمۡ فَمَا ٱسۡتَطَـٰعُواْ مُضِيًّ۬ا وَلَا يَرۡجِعُونَ

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).

وَمَن نُّعَمِّرۡهُ نُنَڪِّسۡهُ فِى ٱلۡخَلۡقِ‌ۖ أَفَلَا يَعۡقِلُونَ  

If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: will they not then understand?

وَمَا عَلَّمۡنَـٰهُ ٱلشِّعۡرَ وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُ ۥۤ‌ۚ

We have not instructed the (Prophet) in Poetry, nor is it meet for Him:

إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرٌ۬ وَقُرۡءَانٌ۬ مُّبِينٌ۬  

this is no less than a Message and a Qur'án making things clear:

لِّيُنذِرَ مَن كَانَ حَيًّ۬اوَيَحِقَّ ٱلۡقَوۡلُ عَلَى ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ

That it may give admonition to any (who are) alive, and that the charge may be proved against those who reject (Truth).

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ أَنَّا خَلَقۡنَا لَهُم مِّمَّا عَمِلَتۡ أَيۡدِينَآ أَنۡعَـٰمً۬افَهُمۡ لَهَا مَـٰلِكُونَ

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? --

وَذَلَّلۡنَـٰهَا لَهُمۡ فَمِنۡہَا رَكُوبُہُمۡ وَمِنۡہَا يَأۡكُلُونَ

And that We have subjected them to their (use)?

Of them some do carry them and some they eat:

وَلَهُمۡ فِيہَا مَنَـٰفِعُ وَمَشَارِبُ‌ۖ أَفَلَا يَشۡكُرُونَ  

And they have (other) profits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink. Will they not then be grateful?

وَٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ءَالِهَةً۬ لَّعَلَّهُمۡ يُنصَرُونَ

Yet they take (for worship) gods other than Allah, (hoping) that they might be helped!

لَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ نَصۡرَهُمۡ وَهُمۡ لَهُمۡ جُندٌ۬ مُّحۡضَرُونَ

They have not the power to help them: but they will be brought up (before Our Judgment-Seat) as a troop (to be condemned).

فَلَا يَحۡزُنكَ قَوۡلُهُمۡ‌ۘ إِنَّا نَعۡلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعۡلِنُونَ  

Let not their speech, then, grieve thee. Verily We know what they hide as well as what they disclose.

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ أَنَّا خَلَقۡنَـٰهُ مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ۬ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌ۬ مُّبِينٌ۬

Doth not man see that it is We Who created Him from sperm?

Yet behold! he (stands forth) as an open adversary!

وَضَرَبَ لَنَا مَثَلاً۬ وَنَسِىَ خَلۡقَهُ ۥ‌ۖ

And he makes comparisons for us, and forgets his own (Origin and) Creation:

قَالَ مَن يُحۡىِ ٱلۡعِظَـٰمَ وَهِىَ رَمِيمٌ۬  

he says, "Who can give life to (dry) bones and decomposed ones (at that)?"

قُلۡ يُحۡيِيہَا ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنشَأَهَآ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ۬‌ۖ

Say, "He will give them life Who created them for the first time!

وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ خَلۡقٍ عَلِيمٌ  

For He is well-versed in every kind of creation! --

ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلشَّجَرِ ٱلۡأَخۡضَرِ نَارً۬افَإِذَآ أَنتُم مِّنۡهُ تُوقِدُونَ

"The same Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! ye kindle therewith (your own fires)!

أَوَلَيۡسَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِقَـٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَخۡلُقَ مِثۡلَهُم‌ۚ

"Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like thereof?" --

بَلَىٰ وَهُوَ ٱلۡخَلَّـٰقُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ  

Yea, indeed! for He is the Creator Supreme, of skill and knowledge (infinite)!

إِنَّمَآ أَمۡرُهُ ۥۤ إِذَآ أَرَادَ شَيۡـًٔا أَن يَقُولَ لَهُ ۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ

Verily, when He intends a thing, His command is, "Be," and it is!

فَسُبۡحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِى بِيَدِهِۦ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ۬ وَإِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ

So glory to Him in Whose hands is the dominion of all things; and to Him will ye be all brought back.
