36. Surah Ya-Sin

Yā, Seen.1

— Saheeh International

By the wise1 Qur’ān,

— Saheeh International

Indeed you, [O Muḥammad], are from among the messengers,

— Saheeh International

On a straight path.

— Saheeh International

[This is] a revelation of the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,

— Saheeh International

That you may warn a people whose forefathers were not warned, so they are unaware.

— Saheeh International

Already the word [i.e., decree] has come into effect upon most of them, so they do not believe.

— Saheeh International

Indeed, We have put shackles on their necks, and they are to their chins, so they are with heads [kept] aloft.

— Saheeh International

And We have put before them a barrier and behind them a barrier and covered them, so they do not see.

— Saheeh International

And it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them - they will not believe.

— Saheeh International

You can only warn one who follows the message and fears the Most Merciful unseen. So give him good tidings of forgiveness and noble reward.

— Saheeh International

Indeed, it is We who bring the dead to life and record what they have put forth and what they left behind, and all things We have enumerated in a clear register.

— Saheeh International

And present to them an example: the people of the city, when the messengers came to it -

— Saheeh International

When We sent to them two but they denied them, so We strengthened [them] with a third, and they said, "Indeed, we are messengers to you."

— Saheeh International

They said, "You are not but human beings like us, and the Most Merciful has not revealed a thing. You are only telling lies."

— Saheeh International

They said, "Our Lord knows that we are messengers to you,

— Saheeh International

And we are not responsible except for clear notification."

— Saheeh International

They said, "Indeed, we consider you a bad omen. If you do not desist, we will surely stone you, and there will surely touch you, from us, a painful punishment."

— Saheeh International

They said, "Your omen [i.e., fate] is with yourselves. Is it1 because you were reminded? Rather, you are a transgressing people."

— Saheeh International

And there came from the farthest end of the city a man, running. He said, "O my people, follow the messengers.

— Saheeh International

Follow those who do not ask of you [any] payment, and they are [rightly] guided.

— Saheeh International

And why should I not worship He who created me and to whom you will be returned?

— Saheeh International

Should I take other than Him [false] deities [while], if the Most Merciful intends for me some adversity, their intercession will not avail me at all, nor can they save me?

— Saheeh International

Indeed, I would then be in manifest error.

— Saheeh International

Indeed, I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me."

— Saheeh International

It was said, "Enter Paradise."1 He said, "I wish my people could know

— Saheeh International

Of how my Lord has forgiven me and placed me among the honored."

— Saheeh International

And We did not send down upon his people after him any soldiers from the heaven, nor would We have done so.

— Saheeh International

It was not but one shout,1 and immediately they were extinguished.

— Saheeh International

How regretful for the servants. There did not come to them any messenger except that they used to ridicule him.

— Saheeh International

Have they not considered how many generations We destroyed before them - that they to them1 will not return?

— Saheeh International

And indeed, all of them will yet be brought present before Us.

— Saheeh International

And a sign for them is the dead earth. We have brought it to life and brought forth from it grain, and from it they eat.

— Saheeh International

And We placed therein gardens of palm trees and grapevines and caused to burst forth therefrom some springs -

— Saheeh International

That they may eat of His fruit.1 And their hands have not produced it,2 so will they not be grateful?

— Saheeh International

Exalted is He who created all pairs1 - from what the earth grows and from themselves and from that which they do not know.

— Saheeh International

And a sign for them is the night. We remove1 from it the [light of] day, so they are [left] in darkness.

— Saheeh International

And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.

— Saheeh International

And the moon - We have determined for it phases, until it returns [appearing] like the old date stalk.

— Saheeh International

It is not allowable [i.e., possible] for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming.
