Surah Ya-Sin

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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."

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."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

And a sign for them is that We carried their forefathers in a laden ship.

And if We should will, We could drown them; then no one responding to a cry would there be for them, nor would they be saved

But when it is said to them, "Beware of what is before you and what is behind you; perhaps you will receive mercy..."

And no sign comes to them from the signs of their Lord except that they are from it turning away.

They do not await except one blast which will seize them while they are disputing.

And the Horn will be blown; and at once from the graves to their Lord they will hasten.

They will say, "O woe to us! Who has raised us up from our sleeping place?" [The reply will be], "This is what the Most Merciful had promised, and the messengers told the truth."

It will not be but one blast, and at once they are all brought present before Us.

So today [i.e., the Day of Judgement] no soul will be wronged at all, and you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do.

Did I not enjoin upon you, O children of Adam, that you not worship Satan - [for] indeed, he is to you a clear enemy -

And he had already led astray from among you much of creation, so did you not use reason?

That Day, We will seal over their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will testify about what they used to earn.

And if We willed, We could have obliterated their eyes, and they would race to [find] the path, and how could they see?

And if We willed, We could have deformed them, [paralyzing them] in their places so they would not be able to proceed, nor could they return.

And We did not give him [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] knowledge of poetry, nor is it befitting for him. It is not but a message and a clear Qur’ān

To warn whoever is alive and justify the word [i.e., decree] against the disbelievers.

Do they not see that We have created for them from what Our hands have made, grazing livestock, and [then] they are their owners?

So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare.

Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary?

And he presents for Us an example and forgets his [own] creation. He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?"

Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing."

[It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite.

His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is.

So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned.
