Ya Sin.

thoughts

verse 2

By the wise Qur’an,

thoughts

verse 3

Lo! thou art of those sent

thoughts

verse 4

On a straight path,

thoughts

verse 5

A revelation of the Mighty, the Merciful,

thoughts

verse 6

That thou mayst warn a folk whose fathers were not warned, so they are heedless.

thoughts

verse 7

Already hath the judgment, (for their infidelity) proved true of most of them, for they believe not.

thoughts

verse 8

Lo! We have put on their necks carcans reaching unto the chins, so that they are made stiff-necked.

thoughts

verse 9

And We have set a bar before them and a bar behind them, and (thus) have covered them so that they see not.

thoughts

verse 10

Whether thou warn them or thou warn them not, it is alike for them, for they believe not.

thoughts

verse 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.

thoughts

verse 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.

thoughts

verse 13

Coin for them a similitude: The people of the city when those sent (from Allah) came unto them;

thoughts

verse 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.

thoughts

verse 15

They said: Ye are but mortals like unto us. The Beneficent hath naught revealed. Ye do but lie!

thoughts

verse 16

They answered: Our Lord knoweth that we are indeed sent unto you,

thoughts

verse 17

And our duty is but plain conveyance (of the message).

thoughts

verse 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.

thoughts

verse 19

They said: Your evil augury be with you! Is it because ye are reminded (of the truth)? Nay, but ye are froward folk!

thoughts

verse 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!

thoughts

verse 21

Follow those who ask of you no fee, and who are rightly guided.

thoughts

verse 22

For what cause should I not serve Him Who hath created me, and unto Whom ye will be brought back?

thoughts

verse 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?

thoughts

verse 24

Then truly I should be in error manifest.

thoughts

verse 25

Lo! I have believed in your Lord, so hear me!

thoughts

verse 26

It was said (unto him): Enter paradise. He said: Would that my people knew

thoughts

verse 27

With what (munificence) my Lord hath pardoned me and made me of the honoured ones!

thoughts

verse 28

We sent not down against his people after him a host from heaven, nor do We ever send.

thoughts

verse 29

It was but one Shout, and lo! they were extinct.

thoughts

verse 30

Ah, the anguish for the bondmen! Never came there unto them a messenger but they did mock him!

thoughts

verse 31

Have they not seen how many generations We destroyed before them, which indeed returned not unto them;

thoughts

verse 32

But all, without exception, will be brought before Us.

thoughts

verse 33

A token unto them is the dead earth. We revive it, and We bring forth from it grain so that they eat thereof;

thoughts

verse 34

And We have placed therein gardens of the date-palm and grapes, and We have caused springs of water to gush forth therein,

thoughts

verse 35

That they may eat of the fruit thereof, and their hands made it not. Will they not, then, give thanks?

thoughts

verse 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!

thoughts

verse 37

A token unto them is night. We strip it of the day, and lo! they are in darkness.

thoughts

verse 38

And the sun runneth on unto a resting-place for him. That is the measuring of the Mighty, the Wise.

thoughts

verse 39

And for the moon We have appointed mansions till she return like an old shrivelled palm-leaf.

thoughts

verse 40

It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit.

thoughts

verse 41

And a token unto them is that We bear their offspring in the laden ship,

thoughts

verse 42

And have created for them of the like thereof whereon they ride.

thoughts

verse 43

And if We will, We drown them, and there is no help for them, neither can they be saved;

thoughts

verse 44

Unless by mercy from Us and as comfort for a while.

thoughts

verse 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).

thoughts

verse 46

Never came a token of the tokens of their Lord to them, but they did turn away from it!

thoughts

verse 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.

thoughts

verse 48

And they say: When will this promise be fulfilled, if ye are truthful?

thoughts

verse 49

They await but one Shout, which will surprise them while they are disputing.

thoughts

verse 50

Then they cannot make bequest, nor can they return to their own folk.

thoughts

verse 51

And the trumpet is blown and lo! from the graves they hie unto their Lord,

thoughts

verse 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.

thoughts

verse 53

It is but one Shout, and behold them brought together before Us!

thoughts

verse 54

This day no soul is wronged in aught; nor are ye requited aught save what ye used to do.

thoughts

verse 55

Lo! those who merit paradise this day are happily employed,

thoughts

verse 56

They and their wives, in pleasant shade, on thrones reclining;

thoughts

verse 57

Theirs the fruit (of their good deeds) and theirs (all) that they ask;

thoughts

verse 58

The word from a Merciful Lord (for them) is: Peace!

thoughts

verse 59

But avaunt ye, O ye guilty, this day!

thoughts

verse 60

Did I not charge you, O ye sons of Adam, that ye worship not the devil - Lo! he is your open foe! -

thoughts

verse 61

But that ye worship Me? That was the right path.

thoughts

verse 62

Yet he hath led astray of you a great multitude. Had ye then no sense?

thoughts

verse 63

This is hell which ye were promised (if ye followed him).

thoughts

verse 64

Burn therein this day for that ye disbelieved.

thoughts

verse 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.

thoughts

verse 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?

thoughts

verse 67

And had We willed, We verily could have fixed them in their place, making them powerless to go forward or turn back.

thoughts

verse 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?

thoughts

verse 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,

thoughts

verse 70

To warn whosoever liveth, and that the word may be fulfilled against the disbelievers.

thoughts

verse 71

Have they not seen how We have created for them of Our handiwork the cattle, so that they are their owners,

thoughts

verse 72

And have subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding, some for food?

thoughts

verse 73

Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they not then give thanks?

thoughts

verse 74

And they have taken (other) gods beside Allah, in order that they may be helped.

thoughts

verse 75

It is not in their power to help them; but they (the worshippers) are unto them a host in arms.

thoughts

verse 76

So let not their speech grieve thee (O Muhammad). Lo! We know what they conceal and what proclaim.

thoughts

verse 77

Hath not man seen that We have created him from a drop of seed? Yet lo! he is an open opponent.

thoughts

verse 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?

thoughts

verse 79

Say: He will revive them Who produced them at the first, for He is Knower of every creation,

thoughts

verse 80

Who hath appointed for you fire from the green tree, and behold! ye kindle from it.

thoughts

verse 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,

thoughts

verse 82

But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: Be! and it is.

thoughts

verse 83

Therefor Glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion over all things! Unto Him ye will be brought back.
