36:1 Yaseen

36:2 By the Wise Quran.

36:3 Truly, (O' Mohammad  ﷺ) you are one of the Apostles (of Allah),

36:4 upon the straight path.

36:5 (And this is) a revelation from the Almighty, Most Merciful,

36:6 to warn the people whose forefathers were not warned, so they are heedless.

36:7 In fact, the Word has been proven true against most of them who are arrogant; so they do not believe.

36:8 We have put shackles round their necks, reaching to their chins, so that their heads are forced up,

36:9 and We have put a barrier in front of them, and a barrier behind them, and then We have covered them up so they cannot see.

36:10 And (therefore) it is all the same to them whether you warn them or do not warn them, they won't believe.

36:11 You can only warn those who follow the Reminder (the Quran) and are in awe of the Most Compassionate (Lord) without seeing Him.  So give them good news of forgiveness and an honorable reward.

36:12 Surely We shall resurrect the dead, We are recording all that they are sending ahead and that they are leaving behind. We have taken record of all things in a book (of evidence).

36:13 And give them the example of the people whose town was visited by the Apostles.

36:14 When We first sent them two (Apostles),  they denied them, We reinforced them with a third, and they said : 'Surely we are Apostles sent to you (with Allah's Message).'

36:15 But the people replied : 'You are but humans like us. The Compassionate (Lord) has revealed nothing; you are surely lying.'

36:16 The Apostles responded, 'Our Lord knows that we have truly been sent to you,'

36:17 and our responsibility is to convey the message clearly.'

36:18 The people replied, 'We definitely see you as a bad omen for us. If you do not desist, we will certainly stone you (to death) and you will receive  a painful punishment from us.'

36:19 The Apostles said, 'Your bad omen lies within yourselves. Are you saying this because you are reminded  (of the truth)?  In fact, you are a transgressing people.'

36:20 And there came a man running from the farthest part of the town and said : 'O my people,  follow the Apostles.'

36:21 Follow those who do not ask you for (any) payment; they are (rightly) guided.

36:22 And (when the people of the town asked the man to desist, he said) why should I not worship Him Who has created me and to Whom you shall be returned?

36:23 How could I take besides Him other gods whose intercession would not be of any benefit to me, nor could they save me if the Most Compassionate (Lord) intended to harm me?

36:24   If I do so, I would indeed be in manifest error.

36:25 'For me, I have faith in the Lord of you (all) : listen, then, to me!'

36:26 (But the disbelievers killed him.) Then, It was said (to him) : 'Enter Paradise.'  He said : 'Would that my people knew (what I know),

36:27 that my Lord has forgiven me and made me among the honored ones!'

36:28 And We did not send any soldiers from the heavens against his people after his death, nor did We need to.

36:29 For all it took was one shriek, whereupon they fell down lifeless.

36:30 Alas for those people, Whenever an Apostle came to them, they used to mock at him.

36:31 Do they not see? Many a town have We demolished prior to them. Verily, none of their dwellers ever returned!

36:32 And surely, all of them will be brought before Us.

36:33 And the dead land may serve as a sign for them; We give it life and produce from it grain for them, which they eat.

36:34 And We produce in it gardens of date-palms and grapes, and We cause springs of water to gush forth from it,

36:35 so they may eat its fruits. They did not do it themselves. So will they not be thankful?

36:36 Glory be to Him Who has created all things in pairs which the earth produces, as well as their own (human) kind, and other things which they don’t know.

36:37 And a clear sign for them is the night : We withdraw the day from it, and see, they get plunged into darkness.

36:38 And the sun travels for its fixed term. That is the design of the Almighty, All Knowing.

36:39 And We have determined phases for the moon until finally it becomes like an old date-stalk.

36:40 The sun is not allowed to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each floats in their own orbit.

36:41 And another sign for them is that We carried their ancestors (with Nooh  عليه السلام) in the fully loaded Ark,

36:42 And We have created for them the like of it in which they sail.

36:43 And if We wish We could drown them with none to respond to their cry for help.  Nor would they be rescued.

36:44 Unless by a mercy from Us and (Our allowing them) to enjoy life for some time more until a term (determined).

36:45 And when it is said to them : 'Beware of that which is before you (punishments in the world) and that which is behind you (punishments in the Hereafter) so that you may receive Mercy.'

36:46 And yet there does not come to them a clear sign from among the signs of their Lord (a Revelation from among His Revelations), but they turn away from it (being averse to the admonition given therein).

36:47 And whenever they are asked : 'spend out of what Allah has given you,'  the disbelievers say to the believers : 'should we feed those whom Allah can feed Himself if He so chooses? (Indeed) you are in manifest error!'

36:48 And they say: 'When will this promise (of punishment will) occur if you are so truthful?'

36:49 All it takes is one Shriek that will seize them while they still arguing about it.

36:50 Then, neither they will be able to make a 'will', nor be able to return to their families.

36:51 And when the trumpet is sounded they will come out of their graves and hasten towards their Lord,

36:52 They will say : 'Woe to us! Who has raised us up from our place of sleep?' (It will be said to them) : 'This is what the Most Gracious (Allah) had promised and the Apostles spoke the truth!'

36:53 It will only be a (sound of the) a Trumpet, so behold! They all will be brought up before Us!

36:54 On that Day no one will suffer the least injustice and you will be compensated as per your deeds.

36:55 Truly the inhabitants of the Paradise on that Day will be busy rejoicing,

36:56 they and their spouses will be in (cool) shade, reclining on (canopied) couches.

36:57 There they will have fruits and whatever they desire.

36:58 And 'Peace! (be on you)' will be (their) greeting from their Most Merciful Lord.

36:59 And (then the disbelievers will be told), 'stand away (from the believers) this Day, O wicked ones!

36:60 O' Children of Adam, did I not command you not to follow Satan, for he is your sworn enemy,

36:61 and pray Me alone,  that is the straight path.

36:62 And yet, in spite of this, he (Satan) has led a great number of you astray.  Didn't you have common sense?

36:63 This is the Hell you were warned of.

36:64 Burn there in today, for your disbelieve.

36:65 We shall seal their lips that day; and their hands will speak, their feet testify to what they had done.

36:66 And had We willed, We could surely have blinded their eyes so that they would struggle for the way.  How then could they see?

36:67 And if it had been Our will, We could have transformed them (into lifeless bodies) in their places. Then neither they would have been able to go forward nor be able to turn back.

36:68 And for whomever a long life is granted, his body is weakened (because of his old age.). Do they not understand?

36:69 And We did not teach (the Prophet  ﷺ) poetry, nor it is suitable for him. This is simply a reminder and a manifest Quran.

36:70 (This is an illuminating Quran) to warn anyone who is truly alive, so that Allah’s verdict may be passed against the disbelievers.

36:71 Do they not see Our creation?  We created for them cattle which they own.

36:72 And We have subjected these animals to them, that they may ride on some and eat the meat of others,

36:73 and some have other benefits, (like milk) to drink. Will they not, then, be grateful?

36:74 And yet they have taken other (false) gods besides Allah hoping to get their help.

36:75 (Yet) they (these false gods) cannot help them, while they (the disbelievers themselves) are ready warriors for them.

36:76 So do not let their remarks grieve you (O' Prophet ﷺ). We indeed know whatever they hide and whatever they disclose.

36:77 Don’t the people see that We have created them from a sperm? Yet, they (stand up) as open opponent.

36:78 And he (the disbeliever) draws comparisons for Us, and forgets his own creation. He says, ‘who shall revive the bones when they have decayed?’

36:79 Say, 'He will revive them who has created them the first time, and He has knowledge of all (His) creation.

36:80 It is He Who produces for you the spark from the green tree to kindle therewith your own fires.

36:81 Can the One Who created the heavens and the earth not resurrect these (deniers)?' Yes (He can).   For He is the supreme Creator, All Knowing.

36:82 Surely, when He intends (to create) a thing, it is only that He says : 'Be' and there it is (it is created instantly).

36:83 Glory be to Him in Whose hands is the Kingdom of all things; and to Whom you shall all be returned.
