The Holy Qur'an
Surah # 36 - Verses: 1 to 83
translated by A. Yusefali
[1]
Ya Sin.
[2] By the
Qur'an, 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 send
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 honour!"
[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 a 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 orchard 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 a 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 (world) 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," the 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 sepulchres (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'an 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.
