سُورَةُ يسٓ

Ya, Seen.

Yaa-Seeen

By the wise Qur'an.

Wal-Qur-aanil-Hakeem

Indeed you, [O Muhammad], are from among the messengers,

Innaka laminal mursaleen

On a straight path.

'Alaa Siraatim Mustaqeem

[This is] a revelation of the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,

Tanzeelal 'Azeezir Raheem

That you may warn a people whose forefathers were not warned, so they are unaware.

Litunzira qawmam maaa unzira aabaaa'uhum fahum ghaafiloon

Already the word has come into effect upon most of them, so they do not believe.

Laqad haqqal qawlu 'alaaa aksarihim fahum laa yu'minoon

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

Innaa ja'alnaa feee a'naaqihim aghlaalan fahiya ilal azqaani fahum muqmahoon

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

Wa ja'alnaa mim baini aydeehim saddanw-wa min khalfihim saddan fa aghshai naahum fahum laa yubsiroon

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

Wa sawaaa'un 'alaihim 'a-anzartahum am lam tunzirhum laa yu'minoon

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.

Innamaa tunziru manit taba 'az-Zikra wa khashiyar Rahmaana bilghaib, fabashshirhu bimaghfiratinw-wa ajrin kareem

Indeed, it is We who bring the dead to life and record what they have put forth and what they left behind, and all things We have enumerated in a clear register.

Innaa Nahnu nuhyil mawtaa wa naktubu maa qaddamoo wa aasaarahum; wa kulla shai'in ahsainaahu feee Imaamim Mubeen

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

Wadrib lahum masalan Ashaabal Qaryatih; iz jaaa'ahal mursaloon

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."

Iz arsalnaaa ilaihimusnaini fakazzaboohumaa fa'azzaznaa bisaalisin faqaalooo innaaa ilaikum mursaloon

They said, "You are not but human beings like us, and the Most Merciful has not revealed a thing. You are only telling lies."

Qaaloo maaa antum illaa basharum mislunaa wa maaa anzalar Rahmaanu min shai'in in antum illaa takziboon

They said, "Our Lord knows that we are messengers to you,

Qaaloo Rabbunaa ya'lamu innaaa ilaikum lamursaloon

And we are not responsible except for clear notification."

Wa maa 'alainaaa illal balaaghul mubeen

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."

Qaaloo innaa tataiyarnaa bikum la'il-lam tantahoo lanar jumannakum wa la-yamassan nakum minnaa 'azaabun aleem

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

Qaaloo taaa'irukum ma'akum; a'in zukkirtum; bal antum qawmum musrifoon

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

Wa jaaa'a min aqsal madeenati rajuluny yas'aa qaala yaa qawmit tabi'ul mursaleen

Follow those who do not ask of you [any] payment, and they are [rightly] guided.

Ittabi'oo mal-laa yas'alukum ajranw-wa hum muhtadoon

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

Wa maa liya laaa a'budul lazee fataranee wa ilaihi turja'oon

Should I take other than Him [false] deities [while], if the Most Merciful intends for me some adversity, their intercession will not avail me at all, nor can they save me?

'A-attakhizu min dooniheee aalihatan iny-yuridnir Rahmaanu bidurril-laa tughni 'annee shafaa 'atuhum shai 'anw-wa laa yunqizoon

Indeed, I would then be in manifest error.

Inneee izal-lafee dalaa-lim-mubeen

Indeed, I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me."

Inneee aamantu bi Rabbikum fasma'oon

It was said, "Enter Paradise." He said, "I wish my people could know

Qeelad khulil Jannnah; qaala yaa laita qawmee ya'lamoon

Of how my Lord has forgiven me and placed me among the honored."

Bimaa ghafara lee Rabbee wa ja'alanee minal mukrameen

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

Wa maaa anzalnaa 'alaa qawmihee mim ba'dihee min jundim minas-samaaa'i wa maa kunnaa munzileen

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

In kaanat illaa saihatanw waahidatan fa-izaa hum khaamidoon

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

Yaa hasratan 'alal 'ibaad; maa yaateehim mir Rasoolin illaa kaanoo bihee yastahzi 'oon

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

Alam yaraw kam ahlak naa qablahum minal qurooni annahum ilaihim laa yarji'oon

And indeed, all of them will yet be brought present before Us.

Wa in kullul lammaa jamee'ul-ladainaa muhdaroon

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.

Wa Aayatul lahumul ardul maitatu ahyainaahaa wa akhrajnaa minhaa habban faminhu yaakuloon

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

Wa ja'alnaa feehaa jannaatim min nakheelinw wa a'naabinw wa fajjarnaa feeha minal 'uyoon

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

Liyaakuloo min samarihee wa maa 'amilat-hu aideehim; afalaa yashkuroon

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

Subhaanal lazee khalaqal azwaaja kullahaa mimmaa tumbitul ardu wa min anfusihim wa mimmaa laa ya'lamoon

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

Wa Aayatul lahumul lailu naslakhu minhun nahaara fa-izaa hum muzlimoon

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

Wash-shamsu tajree limustaqarril lahaa; zaalika taqdeerul 'Azeezil Aleem

And the moon - We have determined for it phases, until it returns [appearing] like the old date stalk.

Walqamara qaddarnaahu manaazila hattaa 'aada kal'ur joonil qadeem

It is not allowable for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming.

Lash shamsu yambaghee lahaaa an tudrikal qamara wa lal lailu saabiqun nahaar; wa kullun fee falaki yasbahoon

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

Wa Aayatul lahum annaa hamalnaa zurriyatahum fil fulkil mashhoon

And We created for them from the likes of it that which they ride.

Wa khalaqnaa lahum mim-mislihee maa yarkaboon

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

Wa in nashaa nughriqhum falaa sareekha lahum wa laa hum yunqazoon

Except as a mercy from Us and provision for a time.

Illaa rahmatam minnaa wa mataa'an ilaa heen

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

Wa izaa qeela lahumuttaqoo maa baina aideekum wa maa khalfakum la'allakum turhamoon

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

Wa maa taateehim min aayatim min ayataati Rabbihim illaa kaanoo 'anhaa mu'rideen

And when it is said to them, "Spend from that which Allah has provided for you," those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Should we feed one whom, if Allah had willed, He would have fed? You are not but in clear error."

Wa izaa qeela lahum anfiqoo mimmaa razaqakumul laahu qaalal lazeena kafaroo lillazeena aamanooo anut'imu mal-law yashaaa'ul laahu at'amahooo in antum illaa fee dalaalim mubeen

And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"

Wa yaqooloona mataa haazal wa'du in kuntum saadiqeen

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

Maa yanzuroona illaa saihatanw waahidatan taa khuzuhum wa hum yakhissimoon

And they will not be able [to give] any instruction, nor to their people can they return.

Falaa yastatee'oona taw siyatanw-wa laaa ilaaa ahlihim yarji'oon

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

Wa nufikha fis-soori faizaa hum minal ajdaasi ilaa Rabbihim yansiloon

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."

Qaaloo yaa wailanaa mam ba'asanaa mim marqadinaa; haaza maa wa'adar Rahmanu wa sadaqal mursaloon

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

In kaanat illaa saihatanw waahidatan fa-izaa hum jamee'ul ladainaa muhdaroon

So today no soul will be wronged at all, and you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do.

Fal-Yawma laa tuzlamu nafsun shai'anw-wa laa tujzawna illaa maa kuntum ta'maloon

Indeed the companions of Paradise, that Day, will be amused in [joyful] occupation -

Inna Ashaabal jannatil Yawma fee shughulin faakihoon

They and their spouses - in shade, reclining on adorned couches.

Hum wa azwaajuhum fee zilaalin 'alal araaa'iki muttaki'oon

For them therein is fruit, and for them is whatever they request [or wish]

Lahum feehaa faakiha tunw-wa lahum maa yadda'oon

[And] "Peace," a word from a Merciful Lord.

Salaamun qawlam mir Rabbir Raheem

[Then He will say], "But stand apart today, you criminals.

Wamtaazul Yawma ayyuhal mujrimoon

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

Alam a'had ilaikum yaa Baneee Aadama al-laa ta'budush Shaitaana innahoo lakum 'aduwwum mubeen

And that you worship [only] Me? This is a straight path.

Wa ani'budoonee; haazaa Siraatum Mustaqeem

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

Wa laqad adalla minkum jibillan kaseeraa; afalam takoonoo ta'qiloon

This is the Hellfire which you were promised.

Haazihee Jahannamul latee kuntum too'adoon

[Enter to] burn therein today for what you used to deny."

Islawhal Yawma bimaa kuntum takfuroon

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.

Al-Yawma nakhtimu 'alaaa afwaahihim wa tukallimunaaa aideehim wa tashhadu arjuluhum bimaa kaanoo yaksiboon

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

Wa law nashaaa'u lata masna 'alaaa aiyunihim fasta baqus-siraata fa-annaa yubsiroon

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.

Wa law nashaaa'u lamasakhnaahum 'alaa makaanatihim famas-tataa'oo mudiyyanw-wa laa yarji'oon

And he to whom We grant long life We reverse in creation; so will they not understand?

Wa man nu 'ammirhu nunakkishu fil-khalq; afalaa ya'qiloon

And We did not give Prophet Muhammad, knowledge of poetry, nor is it befitting for him. It is not but a message and a clear Qur'an

Wa maa 'allamnaahush shi'ra wa maa yambaghee lah; in huwa illaa zikrunw-wa Qur-aanum mubeen

To warn whoever is alive and justify the word against the disbelievers.

Liyunzira man kaana haiyanw-wa yahiqqal qawlu 'alal-kaafireen

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

Awalam yaraw annaa khalaqnaa lahum mimmaa 'amilat aideenaaa an'aaman fahum lahaa maalikoon

And We have tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat.

Wa zallalnaahaa lahum faminhaa rakoobuhum wa minhaa yaakuloon

And for them therein are [other] benefits and drinks, so will they not be grateful?

Wa lahum feehaa manaa fi'u wa mashaarib; afalaa yashkuroon

But they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that perhaps they would be helped.

Wattakhazoo min doonil laahi aalihatal la'allahum yunsaroon

They are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance.

Laa yastatee'oona nasrahum wa hum lahum jundum muhdaroon

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

Falaa yahzunka qawluhum; innaa na'lamu maa yusirroona wa maa yu'linoon

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

Awalam yaral insaanu annaa khalaqnaahu min nutfatin fa-izaa huwa khaseemum mubeen

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

Wa daraba lanaa maslanw-wa nasiya khalqahoo qaala mai-yuhyil'izaama wa hiya rameem

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

Qul yuh yeehal lazeee ansha ahaaa awwala marrah; wa Huwa bikulli khalqin 'Aleem

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

Allazee ja'ala lakum minash shajaril akhdari naaran fa-izaaa antum minhu tooqidoon

Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator.

Awa laisal lazee khalaqas samaawaati wal arda biqaadirin 'alaaa ai-yakhluqa mislahum; balaa wa Huwal Khallaaqul 'Aleem

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

Innamaa amruhooo izaaa araada shai'an ai-yaqoola lahoo kun fa-yakoon

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

Fa Subhaanal lazee biyadihee malakootu kulli shai-inw-wa ilaihi turja'oon
