36 Yaseen -YaSeen
In the Name of Allah, the
Merciful, the Most Merciful
[36.1] YaSeen.
[36.2] By the Wise Koran,
[36.3] you (Prophet Muhammad) are truly among the
Messengers sent
[36.4] upon a Straight Path.
[36.5] The sending down of the Mighty, the Most Merciful
[36.6] so that you may warn a people whose fathers were
not warned, and so were heedless.
[36.7] The Phrase has become obligatory upon most of
them, yet they do not believe.
[36.8] We have bound their necks with fetters up to
their chin, so that their heads are raised and cannot be lowered.
[36.9] We have set a barrier before them and a barrier
behind them, and, We have covered them so that they do not see.
[36.10] It is the same whether you have warned them or
you have not warned them, they do not believe.
[36.11] You only warn he who follows the Remembrance and
fears the Merciful in the Unseen. Give to him glad tidings of forgiveness and a
generous wage.
[36.12] Surely, it is We who revive the dead and write
down what they have forwarded and what they have left behind; We have counted
everything in a Clear Book.
[36.13] Give to them a parable; to the people of the
village there came Messengers,
[36.14] We sent to them two, but they belied them so We
reinforced them with a third. They said: 'We have surely been sent as
Messengers to you. '
[36.15] But they said: 'You are only humans like
ourselves. The Merciful has not sent down anything, your speech is but lies! '
[36.16] They said: 'Our Lord knows that we are
Messengers to you.
[36.17] And it is only for us to deliver a Clear
Message. '
[36.18] They answered: 'We predict evil of you. If you
do not desist, we will stone you and a painful punishment from us will befall
you. '
[36.19] They said: 'Your prediction is with you, if you
are reminded. Surely, you are but a wayward nation. '
[36.20] Then, a man came running from the furthest part
of the village 'My nation, ' he said, 'follow the Messengers,
[36.21] follow those who ask no wage of you and are
rightly guided.
[36.22] Why should I not worship Him who has originated
me and to whom you shall all be returned?
[36.23] What, shall I take, other than Him, gods whose
intercession, if the Merciful desires to afflict me, cannot help me at all, and
they will never save me?
[36.24] Surely, I should then be in clear error.
[36.25] I believe in your Lord, so hear me. '
[36.26] It was said (to him): 'Enter
[36.27] that my Lord has forgiven me, and caused me to
be amongst the receivers of generosity. '
[36.28] And We did not send down to his nation after him
any army from heaven, neither would We send any down.
[36.29] It was only one Shout and they were silent,
still.
[36.30] Woe, for those (unbelieving) worshipers! They
mocked every Messenger that came to them.
[36.31] Have they not seen how many generations We
destroyed before them? They shall never return to them,
[36.32] all shall be arraigned before Us.
[36.33] The dead land is a sign for them. We revive it,
and from it produce grain from which they eat.
[36.34] And there We made gardens of palms and vines,
and in it We caused fountains to gush forth,
[36.35] so that they might eat of its fruit and the
labor of their hands. Will they not give thanks?
[36.36] Exaltations to Him who created pairs of all the
things the earth produces and of themselves, and that of which they have no
knowledge.
[36.37] A sign for them is the night. From it We
withdraw the day and they are in darkness.
[36.38] The sun runs to its fixed restingplace; that is
the decree of the Almighty, the Knower.
[36.39] And the moon, We have determined it in phases
till it returns like an old palmbranch.
[36.40] The sun shall not outstrip the moon, nor shall
the night outstrip the day. Each is floating in an orbit.
[36.41] And a sign for them is that We carried their
offspring in the laden Ark (of Noah).
[36.42] And We have created for them the like of it in
which they board.
[36.43] We drown them if We will, then they have none to
cry to, nor can they be saved,
[36.44] except through Our Mercy and as enjoyment for
awhile.
[36.45] When it is said to them: 'Have fear of that
which is before you and behind you in order that you find mercy. '
[36.46] Yet there never comes to them any sign of their
Lord's signs, but they turn away from it.
[36.47] And when it is said to them: 'Spend of that
which Allah has given you, ' the unbelievers say to the believers: 'Are we to
feed those whom Allah can feed if He chooses? Surely, you are only in clear error.
'
[36.48] They also say: 'When will this promise be, if
what you say is true? '
[36.49] They await but one Shout, which will seize them
while they dispute.
[36.50] Then they will be unable to make a will, nor
shall they return to their kinsmen.
[36.51] And the Horn is blown, and, from the graves they
rush forth to their Lord.
[36.52] 'Woe for us! ' they will say. 'Who has roused us
from our sleepingplace? This is what the Merciful promised; the Messengers have
spoken the truth! '
[36.53] And it is but one Shout and they are all
arraigned before Us.
[36.54] Today, no soul shall be wronged a thing. You
shall not be recompensed except according to your deeds.
[36.55] Indeed, the companions of the Garden are this
Day busy in their rejoicing.
[36.56] Together with their spouses, they shall recline
on couches in the shade.
[36.57] They shall have fruits and all that they call
for.
[36.58] Peace, a saying from the Most Merciful Lord.
[36.59] (And He will say): 'Distance yourselves, O
sinners, this Day.
[36.60] Children of Adam, did I not make a covenant with
you, that you should not worship satan he is surely a clear enemy to you
[36.61] and that you worship Me? Surely, that is the
Straight Path.
[36.62] Yet he has led many a host of you astray, did
you not understand?
[36.63] This, then is Gehenna (Hell), that which you
were promised.
[36.64] Roast well therein this Day for you were
unbelievers. '
[36.65] This Day We set a seal on their mouths and their
hands speak to Us, and their feet will testify to their earnings.
[36.66] Had it been Our will We would have obliterated
their sight so that they raced to the Path. But, how would they see?
[36.67] Had it been Our will We would have transmuted
them (into monkeys, pigs and stones) where they were, so that they could
neither go forward nor yet return.
[36.68] To whoever We give a long life We make him
stoop. Do they not understand?
[36.69] We have not taught him (Prophet Muhammad)
poetry, nor does it become him. This is only a Remembrance and a Clear Holy
Reading (Koran)
[36.70] that he may warn the living, and so that
Judgement may be passed against the unbelievers.
[36.71] Have they not seen how We have created for them
the cattle they master with Our Hands?
[36.72] We have subdued these to them, and some of them
they ride and some of them they eat;
[36.73] they also have other uses in them and drinks.
What, will they not give thanks!
[36.74] And yet they have taken gods, other than Allah,
so that they might helped!
[36.75] They cannot help them, for them (the socalled)
army are brought (with them to Hell).
[36.76] So do not let their sayings grieve you. Surely,
We have knowledge of what they hide and all that they reveal.
[36.77] Has the human not seen how We created him from a
drop (of sperm)? Yet he is a clear opponent.
[36.78] And he has struck for Us a parable, and
forgotten his own creation. He asks: 'Who will quicken the bones after they
have decayed? '
[36.79] Say: 'He will quicken them who originated them
the first time; He has knowledge of every creation;
[36.80] who has made fire for you from the green tree
with which you kindle. '
[36.81] Is He who created the heavens and the earth
unable to create their like? Yes, indeed, He is the Creator, the Knower.
[36.82] When He wills a thing, His command is to say to
it 'Be', and it is!
[36.83] Exaltations to Him in whose Hand is the Kingdom
of all things, and to Him you will be returned.
