> 36. Ya Sin: Ya Sin
> 
> 1 Ya Sin. 
> 
> 2 By the wise Qur'an, 
> 
> 3 Lo! thou art of those sent 
> 
> 4 On a straight path, 
> 
> 5 A revelation of the Mighty, the Merciful, 
> 
> 6 That thou mayst warn a folk whose fathers were not warned, so they are heedless. 
> 
> 7 Already hath the judgment, (for their infidelity) proved true of most of them, for they believe not. 
> 
> 8 Lo! We have put on their necks carcans reaching unto the chins, so that they are made stiff-necked. 
> 
> 9 And We have set a bar before them and a bar behind them, and (thus) have covered them so that they see not. 
> 
> 10 Whether thou warn them or thou warn them not, it is alike for them, for they believe not. 
> 
> 11 Thou warnest only him who followeth the Reminder and feareth the Beneficent in secret. To him bear tidings of forgiveness and a rich reward. 
> 
> 12 Lo! We it is Who bring the dead to life. We record that which they send before (them, and their footprints. And all things We have kept in a clear Register. 
> 
> 13 Coin for them a similitude: The people of the city when those sent (from Allah) came unto them; 
> 
> 14 When We sent unto them twain, and they denied them both, so We reinforced them with a third, and they said: Lo! we have been sent unto you. 
> 
> 15 They said: Ye are but mortals like unto us. The Beneficent hath naught revealed. Ye do but lie! 
> 
> 16 They answered: Our Lord knoweth that we are indeed sent unto you, 
> 
> 17 And our duty is but plain conveyance (of the message). 
> 
> 18 (The people of the city) said: We augur ill of you. If ye desist not, we shall surely stone you, and grievous torture will befall you at our hands. 
> 
> 19 They said: Your evil augury be with you! Is it because ye are reminded (of the truth) ? Nay, but ye are froward folk! 
> 
> 20 And there came from the uttermost part of the city a man running. He cried: O my people! Follow those who have been sent! 
> 
> 21 Follow those who ask of you no fee, and who are rightly guided. 
> 
> 22 For what cause should I not serve Him Who hath created me, and unto Whom ye will be brought back ? 
> 
> 23 Shall I take (other) gods in place of Him when, if the Beneficent should wish me any harm, their intercession will avail me naught, nor can they save ? 
> 
> 24 Then truly I should be in error manifest. 
> 
> 25 Lo! I have believed in your Lord, so hear me! 
> 
> 26 It was said (unto him): Enter paradise. He said: Would that my people knew 
> 
> 27 With what (munificence) my Lord hath pardoned me and made me of the honoured ones! 
> 
> 28 We sent not down against his people after him a host from heaven, nor do We ever send. 
> 
> 29 It was but one Shout, and lo! they were extinct. 
> 
> 30 Ah, the anguish for the bondmen! Never came there unto them a messenger but they did mock him! 
> 
> 31 Have they not seen how many generations We destroyed before them, which indeed returned not unto them; 
> 
> 32 But all, without exception, will be brought before Us. 
> 
> 33 A token unto them is the dead earth. We revive it, and We bring forth from it grain so that they eat thereof; 
> 
> 34 And We have placed therein gardens of the date-palm and grapes, and We have caused springs of water to gush forth therein, 
> 
> 35 That they may eat of the fruit thereof, and their hands made it not. Will they not, then, give thanks ? 
> 
> 36 Glory be to Him Who created all the sexual pairs, of that which the earth groweth, and of themselves, and of that which they know not! 
> 
> 37 A token unto them is night. We strip it of the day, and lo! they are in darkness. 
> 
> 38 And the sun runneth on unto a resting-place for him. That is the measuring of the Mighty, the Wise. 
> 
> 39 And for the moon We have appointed mansions till she return like an old shrivelled palm-leaf. 
> 
> 40 It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit. 
> 
> 41 And a token unto them is that We bear their offspring in the laden ship, 
> 
> 42 And have created for them of the like thereof whereon they ride. 
> 
> 43 And if We will, We drown them, and there is no help for them, neither can they be saved; 
> 
> 44 Unless by mercy from Us and as comfort for a while. 
> 
> 45 When it is said unto them: Beware of that which is before you and that which is behind you, that haply ye may find mercy (they are heedless). 
> 
> 46 Never came a token of the tokens of their Lord to them, but they did turn away from it! 
> 
> 47 And when it is said unto them: Spend of that wherewith Allah hath provided you, those who disbelieve say unto those who believe: Shall we feed those whom Allah, if He willed, would feed ? Ye are in naught else than error manifest. 
> 
> 48 And they say: When will this promise be fulfilled, if ye are truthful ? 
> 
> 49 They await but one Shout, which will surprise them while they are disputing. 
> 
> 50 Then they cannot make bequest, nor can they return to their own folk. 
> 
> 51 And the trumpet is blown and lo! from the graves they hie unto their Lord, 
> 
> 52 Crying: Woe upon us! Who hath raised us from our place of sleep ? This is that which the Beneficent did promise, and the messengers spoke truth. 
> 
> 53 It is but one Shout, and behold them brought together before Us! 
> 
> 54 This day no soul is wronged in aught; nor are ye requited aught save what ye used to do. 
> 
> 55 Lo! those who merit paradise this day are happily employed, 
> 
> 56 They and their wives, in pleasant shade, on thrones reclining; 
> 
> 57 Theirs the fruit (of their good deeds) and theirs (all) that they ask; 
> 
> 58 The word from a Merciful Lord (for them) is: Peace! 
> 
> 59 But avaunt ye, O ye guilty, this day! 
> 
> 60 Did I not charge you, O ye sons of Adam, that ye worship not the devil - Lo! he is your open foe! - 
> 
> 61 But that ye worship Me ? That was the right path. 
> 
> 62 Yet he hath led astray of you a great multitude. Had ye then no sense ? 
> 
> 63 This is hell which ye were promised (if ye followed him). 
> 
> 64 Burn therein this day for that ye disbelieved. 
> 
> 65 This day We seal up their mouths, and their hands speak out to Us and their feet bear witness as to what they used to earn. 
> 
> 66 And had We willed, We verily could have quenched their eyesight so that they should struggle for the way. Then how could they have seen ? 
> 
> 67 And had We willed, We verily could have fixed them in their place, making them powerless to go forward or turn back. 
> 
> 68 He whom we bring unto old age, We reverse him in creation (making him go back to weakness after strength). Have ye then no sense ? 
> 
> 69 And We have not taught him (Muhammad) poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is naught else than a Reminder and a Lecture making plain, 
> 
> 70 To warn whosoever liveth, and that the word may be fulfilled against the disbelievers. 
> 
> 71 Have they not seen how We have created for them of Our handiwork the cattle, so that they are their owners, 
> 
> 72 And have subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding, some for food ? 
> 
> 73 Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they not then give thanks ? 
> 
> 74 And they have taken (other) gods beside Allah, in order that they may be helped. 
> 
> 75 It is not in their power to help them; but they (the worshippers) are unto them a host in arms. 
> 
> 76 So let not their speech grieve thee (O Muhammad). Lo! We know what they conceal and what proclaim. 
> 
> 77 Hath not man seen that We have created him from a drop of seed ? Yet lo! he is an open opponent. 
> 
> 78 And he hath coined for Us a similitude, and hath forgotten the fact of his creation, saying: Who will revive these bones when they have rotted away ? 
> 
> 79 Say: He will revive them Who produced them at the first, for He is Knower of every creation, 
> 
> 80 Who hath appointed for you fire from the green tree, and behold! ye kindle from it. 
> 
> 81 Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them ? Aye, that He is! for He is the All-Wise Creator, 
> 
> 82 But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: Be! and it is. 
> 
> 83 Therefor Glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion over all things! Unto Him ye will be brought back.
