36:1 Ya Si

36:2 By the Wise Koran

36:3 thou art truly among the Envoy

36:4 on a straight path

36:5 the sending down of the All-mighty, the All-wise

36:6 that thou mayest warn a people whose fathers were never warned, so they are heedless

36:7 The Word has been realised against most of them, yet they do not believe

36:8 Surely We have put on their necks fetters up to the chin, so their heads are raised

36:9 and We have put before them a barrier and behind them a barrier; and We have covered them, so they do not see

36:10 Alike it is to them whether thou hast warned them or thou hast not warned them, they do not believe

36:11 Thou only warnest him who follows the Remembrance and who fears the All-merciful in the Unseen; so give him the good tidings of forgiveness and a generous wage

36:12 Surely it is We who bring the dead to life and write down what they have forwarded and what they have left behind; everything We have numbered in a clear register

36:13 Strike for them a similitude -- the inhabitants of the city, when the Envoys came to it

36:14 when We sent unto them two men, but they cried them lies, so We sent a third as reinforcement. They said, 'We are assuredly Envoys unto you

36:15 They said, 'You are naught but mortals like us; the All-merciful has not sent down anything. You are speaking only lies.

36:16 They said, 'Our Lord knows we are Envoys unto you

36:17 and it is only for us to deliver the Manifest Message.

36:18 They said, 'We augur ill of you. If you give not over, we will stone you and there shall visit you from us a painful chastisement.

36:19 They said, 'Your augury is with you; if you are reminded? But you are a prodigal people.

36:20 Then came a man from the furthest part of the city, running; he said, 'My people, follow the Envoys

36:21 Follow such as ask no wage of you, that are right-guided

36:22 And why should I not serve Him who originated me, and unto whom you shall be returned

36:23 What, shall I take, apart from Him, gods whose intercession, if the All-merciful desires affliction for me, shall not avail me anything, and who will never deliver me

36:24 Surely in that case I should be in manifest error

36:25 Behold, I believe in your Lord; therefore hear me!

36:26 It was said, 'Enter Paradise!' He said, 'Ah, would that my people had knowledg

36:27 that my Lord has forgiven me and that He has placed me among the honoured.

36:28 And We sent not down upon his people, after him, any host out of heaven; neither would We send any down

36:29 It was only one Cry and lo, they were silent and still

36:30 Ah, woe for those servants! Never comes unto them a Messenger, but they mock at him

36:31 What, have they not seen how many generations We have destroyed before them, and that it is not unto them that they return

36:32 They shall every one of them be arraigned before Us

36:33 And a sign for them is the dead land, that We quickened and brought forth from it grain, whereof they eat

36:34 and We made therein gardens of palms and vines, and therein We caused fountains to gush forth

36:35 that they might eat of its fruits and their hands' labour. What, will they not be thankful

36:36 Glory be to Him, who created all the pairs of what the earth produces, and of themselves, and of what they know not

36:37 And a sign for them is the night; We strip it of the day and lo, they are in darkness

36:38 And the sun -- it runs to a fixed resting-place; that is the ordaining of the All-mighty, the All-knowing

36:39 And the moon -- We have determined it by stations, till it returns like an aged palm-bough

36:40 It behoves not the sun to overtake the moon, neither does the night outstrip the day, each swimming in a sky

36:41 And a sign for them is that We carried their seed in the laden ship

36:42 and We have created for them the like of it whereon they ride

36:43 and if We will, We drown them, then none have they to cry to, neither are they delivered

36:44 save as a mercy from Us, and enjoyment for a while

36:45 And when it is said to them, 'Fear what is before you and what is behind you; haply you will find mercy' -

36:46 yet never any sign of the signs of their Lord comes to them, but they are turning away from it

36:47 And when it is said to them, 'Expend of that God has provided you,' the unbelievers say to the believers, 'What, shall we feed such a one whom, if God willed, He would feed? You are only in manifest error!

36:48 They also say, 'When shall this promise come to pass, if you speak truly?

36:49 They are awaiting only for one Cry to seize them while they are yet disputing

36:50 then they will not be able to make any testament, nor will they return to their people

36:51 And the Trumpet shall be blown; then behold, they are sliding down from their tombs unto their Lord

36:52 They say, 'Alas for us! Who roused us out of our sleeping place? This is what the All-merciful promised, and the Envoys spoke truly.

36:53 'It was only one Cry; then behold, they are all arraigned before Us

36:54 So today no soul shall be wronged anything, and you shall not be recompensed, except according to what you have been doing

36:55 See, the inhabitants of Paradise today are busy in their rejoicing

36:56 they and their spouses, reclining upon couches in the shade

36:57 therein they have fruits, and they have all that they call for

36:58 'Peace!' -- such is the greeting, from a Lord All-compassionate

36:59 'Now keep yourselves apart, you sinners, upon this day

36:60 Made I not covenant with you, Children of Adam, that you should not serve Satan -- surely he is a manifest foe to you -

36:61 and that you should serve Me? This is a straight path

36:62 He led astray many a throng of you; did you not understand

36:63 This is Gehenna, then, the same that you were promised

36:64 roast well in it today, for that you were unbelievers!

36:65 Today We set a seal on their mouths, and their hands speak to Us, and their feet bear witness as to what they have been earning

36:66 Did We will, We would have obliterated their eyes, then they would race to the path, but how would they see

36:67 Did We will, We would have changed them where they were, then they could not go on, nor could they return

36:68 And to whomsoever We give long life, We bend him over in His constitution; what, do they not understand

36:69 We have not taught him poetry; it is not seemly for him. It is only a Remembrance and a Clear Koran

36:70 that he may warn whosoever is living, and that the Word may be realized against the unbelievers

36:71 Have they not seen how that We have created for them of that Our hands wrought cattle that they own

36:72 We have subdued them to them, and some of them they ride, and some they eat

36:73 other uses also they have in them, and beverages. What, will they not be thankful

36:74 Yet they have taken, apart from God, gods; haply they might be helped

36:75 They cannot help them, though they be hosts made ready for them

36:76 So do not let their saying grieve thee; assuredly We know what they keep secret and what they publish

36:77 Has not man regarded how that We created him of a sperm-drop? Then lo, he is a manifest adversary

36:78 And he has struck for Us a similitude and forgotten his creation; he says, 'Who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed?

36:79 Say: 'He shall quicken them, who originated them the first time; He knows all creation

36:80 who has made for you out of the green tree fire and lo, from it you kindle.

36:81 Is not He, who created the heavens and earth, able to create the like of them? Yes indeed; He is the All-creator, the All-knowing

36:82 His command, when He desires a thing, is to say to it 'Be,' and it is

36:83 So glory be to Him, in whose hand is the dominion of everything, and unto whom you shall be returned
