36:3
You indeed are truly one of the messengers
36:4
on a path most upright.
36:5
It is a revelation of The All-mighty, The Most Merciful.
36:6
So that you may warn a people whose fathers were not warned, therefore they are in oblivion.
36:7
The sentence has indeed been passed in truth against most of them since they believe not.
36:8
We have indeed put fetters around their necks reaching up to their chins so that they are stiff necked.
36:9
And We have put a boundary before them and a boundary behind them and then We assailed them so that they cannot see.
36:10
It is all equal to them whether you warn them or you do not warn them they will not believe.
36:11
You can only warn the one who follows the remembrance and defers to The All-merciful from the unseen. So give him glad tidings of forgiveness and of a most gracious reward.
36:12
It is We indeed who give life to the dead and it is We who write all that they send ahead of them and all that they leave behind them and everything We have taken full account of it in a book [imam] most evident.
36:13
And set forth for them a parable of the people of the township when the messengers came to it.
36:14
When We sent to them two [messengers] but they belied them so We reinforced [them] with a third and they said, “We indeed have been sent unto you.”
36:15
They said, “You are but humans like us and The All-merciful has sent down nothing of the sort. You are but lying.”
36:16
They said, “Our Lord knows that we indeed have truly been sent unto you
36:17
and there is no duty upon us except the most evident deliverance of the message.”
36:18
They said, “We indeed augur evil omen from you. If you do not desist, we will most certainly pelt you and a painful punishment will most certainly touch you from us.”
36:19
They said, “Your evil omen is only with you. Is it because you are reminded? Nay! You are a people most wasteful.”
36:20
And from the farthest end of the city came a man walking with a graceful demeanor, he said, “O my people, follow the messengers.
36:21
Obey them who do not ask a reward from you while they are rightly guided.
36:22
Why should I not worship the One who has originated me and unto Him you shall be returned?
36:23
Should I take any deities besides Him? If The All-merciful intends me harm their intercession will be of no avail to me and they cannot rescue me.
36:24
Then I will surely be in a misguidance most evident.
36:25
I have indeed believed in your Lord so hear me.”
36:26
He was told, “Enter the garden.” He said, “Would that my people had known
36:27
how my Lord has forgiven me and has appointed me among those honored with grace.”
36:28
And We sent not against his people after him any hosts from the heaven and We were not going to send down.
36:29
It was but one deafening blast. Lo! They all lie lifeless.
36:30
Oh! Sorrow unto the slaves. No messenger comes to them but that they mock at him.
36:31
See they not how many generations before them We destroyed and [see they not] that they do not return back to them.
36:32
There is no one among them except that they will all be brought back together to Our presence.
36:33
It is a sign for them that the dead land, We give life to it and We bring forth from it a grain so that from it they eat.
36:34
And We placed therein gardens of date trees and of grapes and We cause fountains to gush forth therein.
36:35
So that they may eat from its produce though it was not their hands that worked it. Will they then not offer gratitude?
36:36
Glory be unto the One who has created all pairs from which the earth produces and from themselves and from those that they know not.
36:37
And it is a sign for them that the night We divest it of the day and behold they are in darkness.
36:38
And the sun it runs towards the resting place for it. That is the measurement of The All-mighty, The All-knowing.
36:39
And the moon We have measured for it phases until it comes back like the old crooked date stalk.
36:40
It is not fitting for the sun to overtake the moon nor for the night to advance the day. And each swimming in an orbit.
36:41
And there is a sign for them that We carried their seed in the heavily laden ship.
36:42
And We have created for them from its likeness what they can ride.
36:43
If We so pleased, We could drown them and there will be no one for them to cry to for help nor will they be rescued.
36:44
But it is a mercy from Us and a temporary enjoyment for a little while.
36:45
And when it is said unto them, “Safeguard yourselves from that which is in front of you and from that which is behind you perhaps that you may receive mercy.”
36:46
And never comes unto them a sign from the signs of their Lord but that they turn their faces away from it.
36:47
And when it is said unto them, “Spend from that what Allah has provided for you.” Those who disbelieve say to those who believe, “Do we feed one which if Allah so pleased would have fed him Himself. You are indeed but in manifest misguidance.”
36:48
And they say, “When will this promise come to pass if you are indeed truthful.”
36:49
They are waiting but for one deafening blast that will seize them while they are disputing.
36:50
Then they will not be able to hand down their will nor will they return back to their folks.
36:51
The trumpet was blown Lo! They are pouring out from their graves unto their Lord.
36:52
They said, “Woe unto us. Who raised us from our place of resting?” “This is what The All-merciful had promised and the messengers had said the truth.”
36:53
It was but one deafening blast Lo! They are all brought together in Our presence.
36:54
And today no soul will be wronged in the least and you will not be rewarded except for that which you used to do.
36:55
Truly the companions of the garden today are preoccupied in their merriment.
36:56
They and their spouses in cool shades are reclining on couches.
36:57
Therein for them will be fruits and therein for them will be all that they ask for.
36:58
Peace! A word from a Lord Most Merciful.
36:59
“Stand apart today O you the evildoers!
36:60
Did I not exact a promise on you O children of Adam that you will not serve Satan? Truly he is a most evident enemy for you.
36:61
And that you serve Me. This is a path most upright.
36:62
And he has indeed misguided many generations of you. Did you then not use to understand?
36:63
This is the hell of which you used to be promised.
36:64
Burn in it today for that you used to disbelieve.”
36:65
Today We will put a seal on their mouths and their hands will speak to Us and their feet will bear witness to all that they used to perpetrate.
36:66
And if We Had so pleased, We could have wiped out their eyes so that they race towards the path but how can they see.
36:67
And had We so pleased, We could have petrified them on their spots so that they will not be able to go forward nor go back.
36:68
And whoever We grant lengthy age, We cause him to decline in the creation. Will they not then understand?
36:69
And We have not taught him the poetry and it is not befitting for him. It is but a remembrance and a Quran most evident.
36:70
So that he may warn him who is indeed living and the word is made true against the disbelievers.
36:71
See they not that We have created for them cattle from among the things that Our hands have worked so that they have ownership on them?
36:72
And We have made them subservient to them. From them some are for their ride and from some they eat.
36:73
And in them for them are other benefits and drinks. Will they not then offer gratitude?
36:74
And they have taken other deities besides Allah perhaps they will be helped [by them].
36:75
They cannot help them while they are hosts ready for their service.
36:76
Therefore let not their speech aggrieve you. We indeed know all that they conceal and all that they reveal.
36:77
Has the human being not seen that it is We who created him from a drop of liquid? Behold he has become a contender most evident.
36:78
And he has set forth a parable for Us and he forgot his own creation. He said, “Who can bring the bones to life when they have become rotten?”
36:79
Say, “He will bring it to life the One who created it the first time and it is He who is All-knowing about all creation.
36:80
He who made a fire for you from the green tree. Lo! You kindle from it.
36:81
Is not the one who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of them. Nay! He is The All-creator, The All-knowing.”
36:82
His command is but when He intends a thing is that He says to it, “Be” and it is.
36:83
So glory be unto Him in whose hand lies the inner dominion of everything and unto Him will you be returned.
