1. Ya Sin.
2. By the Qur'an, full of
Wisdom,-
3. Thou art indeed one of the
apostles,
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 apostles to it.
14. When We (first) sent to them
two apostles, 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 apostles:
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 an apostle 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 apostles!"
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. |
