36:1  Ya Si

36:2  By the Qur‘an, that is full of wisdom

36:3  You are truly one of the messengers of Allah

36:4  (and you are) on a straight path

36:5  (this Qur‘an being) a revelation from the All- Mighty, the Very-Merciful

36:6  so that you may warn a people whose fathers were not warned, and hence, they are unaware

36:7  The word has indeed come true about most of them, so they will not believe

36:8  We have placed iron collars on their necks, so they are reaching up to their chins, and their heads are forced to remain upwards

36:9  And We have placed a barrier in front of them and a barrier behind them, and (thus) they are encircled by Us; so they do not see

36:10  It is all equal for them whether you warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe

36:11  You can (usefully) warn only the one who follows the advice and fears the RaHman (the All-Merciful Allah) without seeing (Him). So give him the good news of forgiveness and of a noble reward

36:12  Surely We will give new life to the dead, and We are recording whatever (deeds) they send before them and whatever effects they leave behind. Every thing is fully computed by Us in a manifest book of record

36:13  Cite to them the example of the People of the Town, when the messengers came to it

36:14  when We sent to them two (apostles), and they rejected both of them, so We confirmed them with a third one. So they said, .We are sent to you

36:15  They (the people of the Town) said, .You are no more than human beings like us, and the RaHman (the All-Merciful Allah) has not sent down any thing. You are but telling a lie

36:16  They (the messengers) said, .Our Lord knows that we are undoubtedly sent to you

36:17  Our obligation is no more than to convey the message clearly

36:18  They (the People of the Town) said, .We take you as a bad omen for us. If you do not desist, we will certainly stone you and you will be afflicted by a painful punishment from us

36:19  They said, .Your bad omen is with yourselves. (Do you take it as bad omen) if you are given a good counsel? Rather, you are a people who cross all limits

36:20  And there came a man rushing from the farthest part of the city. He said, .O my people, follow the messengers

36:21  Follow those who do not claim any reward from you, and who are on the right path

36:22  What excuse do I have if I do not worship the One who has created me and to whom you will be returned

36:23  Shall I adopt those gods besides Him whose intercession, if RaHman (the All-Merciful Allah) intends to do harm to me, cannot help me in the least, nor can they come to my rescue

36:24  In that case, I will be in open error indeed

36:25  Undoubtedly I have believed in your Lord; so listen to me

36:26  (Thereafter when his people killed him,) it was said to him, .Enter the Paradise. He said, .Would that my people kne

36:27  how my Lord has forgiven me and placed me among the honoured ones!

36:28  And We did not send down to his people any army from the heavens after him, nor were We (in need) to send down

36:29  It was no more than a single Cry, and in no time they were extinguished

36:30  Alas for the slaves (of Allah)! No messenger came to them, but they have been mocking at him

36:31  Did they not see how many generations We have destroyed before them who will not come back to them

36:32  All of them are but to be assembled together (and) to be arraigned before Us

36:33  And a sign for them is the dead land. We gave it life and brought forth grain from it; so from it they eat

36:34  And We have placed gardens of date-palms and grapes, and caused springs to gush forth therein

36:35  so that they may eat fruits thereof, while it was not made by their hands. Would they not then offer gratitude

36:36  Pure (from every fault) is the One who has created all the pairs of whatever the earth grows and of the humans themselves and of that which they do not know

36:37  And a sign for them is the night. We strip (the cover of) the day from it, and they are suddenly in darkness

36:38  And the sun is quickly proceeding towards its destination. That is the designing of the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing

36:39  And for the moon We have appointed measured phases, until it turned (pale, curved and fine) like an old branch of date palm

36:40  Neither it is for the sun to overtake the moon, nor can the night outpace the day. Each one is floating in an orbit

36:41  And it is a sign for them that We boarded their children in the loaded ship

36:42  and created for them things similar to it on which they ride

36:43  And if We so will, We can drown them; then no one will respond to their cry, nor will they be rescued

36:44  unless there be mercy from Us, and (unless) We let them enjoy for a while

36:45  And (they pay no heed) when it is said to them, .Save yourselves from that (punishment) which is before you (in this world) and that which will come after you (die), so that you may receive mercy

36:46  There comes to them no sign from the signs of your Lord, but they turn averse to it

36:47  And when it is said to them, .Spend (to the needy) from the provision Allah has given to you., the disbelievers say to the believers, .Shall we feed those whom Allah could have fed, if Allah so willed? You are but in open error

36:48  And they say, .When will this promise come true, if you are truthful?

36:49  They are looking for nothing but for a single Cry that will seize them when they will be quarrelling

36:50  So they will not be able to make a bequest, nor will they return to their household

36:51  And the Horn will be blown, and suddenly they will be rushing from their graves towards their Lord

36:52  They will say, .Woe to us! Who has raised us from our sleeping place? .This is what RaHman (the All-Merciful Allah) had promised, and the messengers had told the truth

36:53  It will be no more than a single Cry, and in no time they will all be arraigned before Us

36:54  Then, nobody will be subjected to injustice in the least, and you will not be recompensed but for what you used to do

36:55  The people of the Paradise are engaged today in (their) activities, happily enjoying (them)

36:56  They and their spouses are in pleasant shades, reclining on couches

36:57  For them there are fruits, and for them there is whatever they ask for

36:58  .Salam .(Peace upon you) is the word (they receive) from Merciful Lord

36:59  And (it will be said to the infidels,) .Get apart (from the believers) today O the guilty ones

36:60  Did I not direct you, O children of ‘Adam (Adam), that you must not worship the Satan, (because) he is an open enemy for you

36:61  and that you must worship Me, (because) this is the straight path

36:62  He had misguided lot many people from among you. So, did you not have sense

36:63  (Now) this is the Jahannam of which you were consistently warned

36:64  Enter it today, because you have been persistently denying (the truth)

36:65  Today We will set a seal on their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their legs will bear witness about what they used to do

36:66  If We so will, We would wipe out their eyes (right here in this world), and they would be racing towards the way, but how would they see

36:67  And If We so will, We would disfigure them at their places, and they would not be able to move, nor would they return

36:68  And whomsoever We give long life, we reverse him in creation. Then, do they have no sense

36:69  We did not teach him (the Holy Prophet) poetry, and it is not proper for him. It is nothing (of that sort,) but (it is) an advice and a readable book that explains (the Truth)

36:70  so that it may warn him who is alive (to listen to the truth), and so that the word may prove true against the disbelievers

36:71  Did they not see that We have created for them cattle, among things made (directly) by Our hands, and then they become their owners

36:72  And We have brought them under their control, so as some of them are their means of transport, and some of them they eat

36:73  And for them there are (other) benefits in them and things to drink. So, would they not be grateful

36:74  They have adopted gods other than Allah, so that they may be helped (by them)

36:75  They cannot help them, rather they (the disbelievers themselves) are (like) an army brought forth for (protecting) them (the so-called co-gods

36:76  So, their remarks must not grieve you. Surely We know what they conceal and what they disclose

36:77  Did man not see that We have created him from a drop of semen? Then suddenly he stood as an open adversary (to Us)

36:78  He has set up an argument about Us and forgot his creation. He said, .Who will give life to the bones when they are decayed?

36:79  Say, .These will be revived by the same One who had created them for the first time, and who is fully aware of every creation

36:80  __ the One who created for you fire from the green tree, and in no time you kindle from it

36:81  Is it that the One who has created the heavens and the earth has no power to create ones like them? Why not? He is the Supreme Creator, the All- Knowing

36:82  His practice, when He intends to do something, is no more than He says, .Be., and it comes to be

36:83  So, pure (from every fault) is the One in whose hand is the dominion of all things. And towards Him you are to be returned
