YâSîn.

(1)Yâ-Sîn.

(-1)]

(2)By the Qur'ân, full of wisdom (i.e. full of laws, evidences, and proofs),

(3)Truly, you (O Muhammad SAW) are one of the Messengers,

(4)On a Straight Path (i.e. on Allâh's religion of Islâmic Monotheism).

(5)(This is) a Revelation sent down by the AllMighty, the Most Merciful,

(6)In order that you may warn a people whose forefathers were not warned, so they are heedless.

(7)Indeed the Word (of punishment) has proved true against most of them, so they will not believe.

(8)Verily! We have put on their necks iron collars reaching to chins, so that their heads are forced up.

(9)And We have put a barrier before them, and a barrier behind them, and We have covered them up, so that they cannot see.

(10)It is the same to them whether you warn them or you warn them not, they will not believe.

(11)You can only warn him who follows the Reminder (the Qur'ân), and fears the Most Beneficent (Allâh) unseen. Bear you to such one the glad tidings of forgiveness, and a generous reward (i.e. Paradise).

(12)Verily, We give life to the dead, and We record that which they send before (them), and their traces [their footsteps and walking on the earth with their legs to the mosques for the five compulsory congregational prayers, Jihâd (holy fighting in Allâh's Cause) and all other good and evil they did, and that which they leave behind], and all things We have recorded with numbers (as a record) in a Clear Book.

(13)And put forward to them a similitude; the (story of the) dwellers of the town, [It is said that the town was Antioch (Antakiya)], when there came Messengers to them.

(14)When We sent to them two Messengers, they belied them both, so We reinforced them with a third, and they said: "Verily! We have been sent to you as Messengers."

(15)They (people of the town) said: "You are only human beings like ourselves, and the Most Beneficent (Allâh) has revealed nothing, you are only telling lies."

(16)The Messengers said: "Our Lord knows that we have been sent as Messengers to you,

(17)"And our duty is only to convey plainly (the Message)."

(18)They (people) said: "For us, we see an evil omen from you, if you cease not, we will surely stone you, and a painful torment will touch you from us."

(19)They (Messengers) said: "Your evil omens be with you! (Do you call it "evil omen") because you are admonished? Nay, but you are a people Musrifûn (transgressing all bounds by committing all kinds of great sins, and by disobeying Allâh).

(20)And there came running from the farthest part of the town, a man, saying: "O my people! Obey the Messengers;

(21)"Obey those who ask no wages of you (for themselves), and who are rightly guided.

(22)"And why should I not worship Him (Allâh Alone) Who has created me and to Whom you shall be returned.

(23)"Shall I take besides Him âliha (gods), if the Most Beneficent (Allâh) intends me any harm, their intercession will be of no use for me whatsoever, nor can they save me?

(24)"Then verily, I should be in plain error.

(25)Verily! I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me!"

(26)It was said (to him when the disbelievers killed him): "Enter Paradise." He said: "Would that my people knew![]

(27)"That my Lord (Allâh) has forgiven me, and made me of the honoured ones!"

(28)And We sent not against his people after him a host from heaven, nor do We send (such a thing).

(29)It was but one Saihah (shout, etc.) and lo! They (all) were silent (dead-destroyed).

(30)Alas for mankind! There never came a Messenger to them but they used to mock at him.

(31)Do they not see how many of the generations We have destroyed before them? Verily, they will not return to them.

(32)And surely, all, everyone of them will be brought before Us.

(33)And a sign for them is the dead land. We gave it life, and We brought forth from it grains, so that they eat thereof.

(34)And We have made therein gardens of date-palms and grapes, and We have caused springs of water to gush forth therein.

(35)So that they may eat of the fruit thereof, and their hands made it not. Will they not, then, give thanks?

(36)Glory be to Him, Who has created all the pairs of that which the earth produces, as well as of their own (human) kind (male and female), and of that which they know not.

(37)And a sign for them is the night, We withdraw therefrom the day, and behold, they are in darkness.

(38)And the sun runs on its fixed course for a term (appointed). That is the Decree of the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing.

(39)And the moon, We have measured for it mansions (to traverse) till it returns like the old dried curved date stalk.

(40)It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor does the night outstrip the day. They all float, each in an orbit.

(41)And an Ayâh (sign) for them is that We bore their offspring in the laden ship [of Nûh (Noah)].

(42)And We have created for them of the like thereunto, so on them they ride.

(43)And if We will, We shall drown them, and there will be no shout (or helper) for them (to hear their cry for help) nor will they be saved.

(44)Unless it be a mercy from Us, and as an enjoyment for a while.

(45)And when it is said to them: "Beware of that which is before you (worldly torments), and that which is behind you (torments in the Hereafter), in order that you may receive Mercy (i.e. if you believe in Allâh's Religion Islâmic Monotheism, and avoid polytheism, and obey Allâh with righteous deeds).

(46)And never came an Ayâh from among the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of their Lord to them, but they did turn away from it.

(47)And when it is said to them: "Spend of that with which Allâh has provided you," those who disbelieve say to those who believe: "Shall we feed those whom, if Allâh willed, He (Himself) would have fed? You are only in a plain error."

(48)And they say: "When will this promise (i.e. Resurrection) be fulfilled, if you are truthful?"

(49)They await only but a single Saihah (shout, etc.), which will seize them while they are disputing!

(50)Then they will not be able to make bequest, nor they will return to their family.

(51)And the Trumpet will be blown (i.e. the second blowing) and behold! From the graves they will come out quickly to their Lord.

(52)They will say: "Woe to us! Who has raised us up from our place of sleep." (It will be said to them): "This is what the Most Beneficent (Allâh) had promised, and the Messengers spoke truth!"

(53)It will be but a single Saihah (shout, etc.), so behold! They will all be brought up before Us!

(54)This Day (Day of Resurrection), none will be wronged in anything, nor will you be requited anything except that which you used to do.

(55)Verily, the dwellers of the Paradise, that Day, will be busy in joyful things.

(56)They and their wives will be in pleasant shade, reclining on thrones.

(57)They will have therein fruits (of all kinds) and all that they ask for.

(58)(It will be said to them): Salâmun (peace be on you), a Word from the Lord (Allâh), Most Merciful.

(59)(It will be said): "And O you Al-Mujrimûn (criminals, polytheists, sinners, disbelievers in the Islâmic Monotheism, wicked evil ones, etc.)! Get you apart this Day (from the believers).

(60)Did I not ordain for you, O Children of Adam, that you should not worship Shaitân (Satan). Verily, he is a plain enemy to you.

(61)And that you should worship Me [Alone Islâmic Monotheism, and set up not rivals, associate-gods with Me]. That is a Straight Path[].

(62)And indeed he (Satan) did lead astray a great multitude of you. Did you not, then, understand?

(63)This is Hell which you were promised!

(64)Burn therein this Day, for that you used to disbelieve.[]

(65)This Day, We shall seal up their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their legs will bear witness to what they used to earn. (It is said that one's left thigh will be the first to bear the witness). [Tafsir At-Tabarî, Vol. 22, Page 24]

(66)And if it had been Our Will, We would surely have wiped out (blinded) their eyes, so that they would struggle for the Path, how then would they see?

(67)And if it had been Our Will, We could have transformed them (into animals or lifeless objects) in their places. Then they should have been unable to go forward (move about) nor they could have turned back. [As it happened with the Jews see Verse 7:166 The Qur'ân].[]

(68)And he whom We grant long life, We reverse him in creation (weakness after strength). Will they not then understand?

(69)And We have not taught him (Muhammad SAW) poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is only a Reminder and a plain Qur'ân.

(70)That he or it (Muhammad SAW or the Qur'ân) may give warning to him who is living (a healthy minded the believer), and that Word (charge) may be justified against the disbelievers (dead, as they reject the warnings).

(71)Do they not see that We have created for them of what Our Hands have created, the cattle, so that they are their owners.

(72)And We have subdued them unto them so that some of them they have for riding and some they eat.

(73)And they have (other) benefits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink, will they not then be grateful?

(74)And they have taken besides Allâh âliha (gods), hoping that they might be helped (by those so called gods).

(75)They cannot help them, but they will be brought forward as a troop against those who worshipped them (at the time of Reckoning).

(76)So let not their speech, then, grieve you (O Muhammad SAW). Verily, We know what they conceal and what they reveal.

(77)Does not man see that We have created him from Nutfah (mixed male and female discharge semen drops). Yet behold! He (stands forth) as an open opponent.

(78)And he puts forth for Us a parable, and forgets his own creation. He says: "Who will give life to these bones when they have rotted away and became dust?"

(79)Say: (O Muhammad SAW) "He will give life to them Who created them for the first time! And He is the All-Knower of every creation!"

(80)He, Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! You kindle therewith.

(81)Is not He, Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Yes, indeed! He is the All-Knowing Supreme Creator.

(82)Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" and it is!

(83)So Glorified is He and Exalted above all that they associate with Him, and in Whose Hands is the dominion of all things, and to Him you shall be returned.

Fâtir or AlMalâ'ikah

(1)All the praises and thanks be to Allâh, the (only) Originator [or the (only) Creator] of the heavens and the earth, Who made the angels messengers with wings, - two or three or four. He increases in creation what He wills. Verily, Allâh is Able to do all things.

(2)Whatever of mercy (i.e.of good), Allâh may grant to mankind, none can withhold it, and whatever He may withhold, none can grant it thereafter. And He is the AllMighty, the AllWise.

(3)O mankind! Remember the Grace of Allâh upon you! Is there any creator other than Allâh who provides for you from the sky (rain) and the earth? Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). How then are you turning away (from Him)?

(4)And if they belie you (O Muhammad SAW), so were Messengers belied before you. And to Allâh return all matters (for decision).

(5)O mankind! Verily, the Promise of Allâh is true. So let not this present life deceive you, and let not the chief deceiver (Satan) deceive you about Allâh.

(6)Surely, Shaitân (Satan) is an enemy to you, so take (treat) him as an enemy. He only invites his Hizb (followers) that they may become the dwellers of the blazing Fire.

(7)Those who disbelieve, theirs will be a severe torment; and those who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh Islâmic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward (i.e. Paradise).

(8)Is he, then, to whom the evil of his deeds made fairseeming, so that he considers it as good (equal to one who is rightly guided)? Verily, Allâh sends astray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills. So destroy not yourself (O Muhammad SAW) in sorrow for them. Truly, Allâh is the AllKnower of what they do!

(9)And it is Allâh Who sends the winds, so that they raise up the clouds, and We drive them to a dead land, and revive therewith the earth after its death. As such (will be) the Resurrection!

(10)Whosoever desires honour, power and glory then to Allâh belong all honour, power and glory [and one can get honour, power and glory only by obeying and worshipping Allâh (Alone)]. To Him ascend (all) the goodly words, and the righteous deeds exalt it (the goodly words i.e. the goodly words are not accepted by Allâh unless and until they are followed by good deeds), but those who plot evils, theirs will be severe torment. And the plotting of such will perish.

(11)And Allâh did create you (Adam) from dust, then from Nutfah (male and female discharge semen drops i.e. Adam's offspring), then He made you pairs (male and female). And no female conceives or gives birth, but with His Knowledge. And no aged man is granted a length of life, nor is a part cut off from his life (or another man's life), but is in a Book (AlLauh AlMahfûz) Surely, that is easy for Allâh.

(12)And the two seas (kinds of water) are not alike, this fresh sweet, and pleasant to drink, and that saltish and bitter. And from them both you eat fresh tender meat (fish), and derive the ornaments that you wear. And you see the ships cleaving (the seawater as they sail through it), that you may seek of His Bounty, and that you may give thanks.

(13)He merges the night into the day (i.e. the decrease in the hours of the night are added to the hours of the day), and He merges the day into the night (i.e. the decrease in the hours of the day are added to the hours of the night). And He has subjected the sun and the moon, each runs its course for a term appointed. Such is Allâh your Lord; His is the kingdom. And those, whom you invoke or call upon instead of Him, own not even a Qitmîr (the thin membrane over the datestone).

(14)If you invoke (or call upon) them, they hear not your call, and if (in case) they were to hear, they could not grant it (your request) to you. And on the Day of Resurrection, they will disown your worshipping them. And none can inform you (O Muhammad SAW) like Him Who is the AllKnower (of each and everything)[].

(15)O mankind! it is you who stand in need of Allâh, but Allâh is Rich (Free of all wants and needs), Worthy of all praise.

(16)If He will, He could destroy you and bring about a new creation.

(17)And that is not hard for Allâh.

(18)And no bearer of burdens shall bear another's burden, and if one heavily laden calls another to (bear) his load, nothing of it will be lifted even though he be near of kin. You (O Muhammad SAW) can warn only those who fear their Lord unseen, and perform As-Salât (IqâmatasSalât). And he who purifies himself (from all kinds of sins), then he purifies only for the benefit of his ownself. And to Allâh is the (final) Return (of all).

(19)Not alike are the blind (disbelievers in Islâmic Monotheism) and the seeing (believers in Islâmic Monotheism).

(20)Nor are (alike) the darkness (disbelief) and the light (Belief in Islâmic Monotheism).

(21)Nor are (alike) the shade and the sun's heat.

(22)Nor are (alike) the living (believers) and the dead (disbelievers). Verily, Allâh makes whom He will hear, but you cannot make hear those who are in graves.

(23)You (O Muhammad SAW) are only a warner (i.e. your duty is to convey Allâh's Message to mankind but the guidance is in Allâh's Hand).

(24)Verily! We have sent you with the truth, a bearer of glad tidings, and a warner. And there never was a nation but a warner had passed among them.

(25)And if they belie you, those before them also belied. Their Messengers came to them with clear signs, and with the Scriptures, and the book giving light.

(26)Then I took hold of those who disbelieved, and how terrible was My denial (punishment)!

(27)See you not that Allâh sends down water (rain) from the sky, and We produce therewith fruits of varying colours, and among the mountains are streaks white and red, of varying colours and (others) very black.

(28)And of men and AdDawâb (moving living creatures, beasts, etc.), and cattle, in like manner of various colours. It is only those who have knowledge among His slaves that fear Allâh. Verily, Allâh is AllMighty, OftForgiving.

(29)Verily, those who recite the Book of Allâh (this Qur'ân), and perform AsSalât (IqâmatasSalât), and spend (in charity) out of what We have provided for them, secretly and openly, hope for a (sure) tradegain that will never perish.

(30)That He may pay them their wages in full, and give them (even) more, out of His Grace. Verily! He is OftForgiving, Most Ready to appreciate (good deeds and to recompense).

(31)And what We have inspired in you (O Muhammad SAW), of the Book (the Qur'ân), it is the (very) truth [that you (Muhammad SAW) and your followers must act on its instructions], confirming that which was (revealed) before it. Verily! Allâh is indeed All­Aware, and AllSeer of His slaves.

(32)Then We gave the Book the Qur'ân) for inheritance to such of Our slaves whom We chose (the followers of Muhammad SAW). Then of them are some who wrong their ownselves, and of them are some who follow a middle course, and of them are some who are, by Allâh's Leave, foremost in good deeds. That (inheritance of the Qur'ân), that is indeed a great grace.

(33)'Adn (Eden) Paradise (everlasting Gardens) will they enter, therein will they be adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls, and their garments there will be of silk (i.e. in Paradise).

(34)And they will say: "All the praises and thanks be to Allâh, Who has removed from us (all) grief. Verily, our Lord is indeed Oft­Forgiving, Most Ready to appreciate (good deeds and to recompense).

(35)Who, out of His Grace, has lodged us in a home that will last forever; there, toil will touch us not, nor weariness will touch us."

(36)But those who disbelieve, (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism) for them will be the Fire of Hell. Neither it will have a complete killing effect on them so that they die, nor shall its torment be lightened for them. Thus do We requite every disbeliever!

(37)Therein they will cry: "Our Lord! Bring us out, we shall do righteous good deeds, not (the evil deeds) that we used to do." (Allâh will reply): "Did We not give you lives long enough, so that whosoever would receive admonition, - could receive it? And the warner came to you. So taste you (the evil of your deeds). For the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrongdoers, etc.) there is no helper."

(38)Verily, Allâh is the AllKnower of the unseen of the heavens and the earth. Verily! He is the AllKnower of that is in the breasts.

(39)He it is Who has made you successors generations after generations in the earth, so whosoever disbelieves (in Islâmic Monotheism) on him will be his disbelief. And the disbelief of the disbelievers adds nothing but hatred with their Lord. And the disbelief of the disbelievers adds nothing but loss[].

(40)Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Tell me or inform me (what) do you think about your (socalled) partnergods to whom you call upon besides Allâh, show me, what they have created of the earth? Or have they any share in the heavens? Or have We given them a Book, so that they act on clear proof therefrom? Nay, the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrongdoers, etc.) promise one another nothing but delusions."

(41)Verily! Allâh grasps the heavens and the earth lest they move away from their places, and if they were to move away from their places, there is not one that could grasp them after Him. Truly, He is Ever Most Forbearing, OftForgiving[].

(42)And they swore by Allâh their most binding oath, that if a warner came to them, they would be more guided than any of the nations (before them), yet when a warner (Muhammad SAW) came to them, it increased in them nothing but flight (from the truth),

(43)(They took to flight because of their) arrogance in the land and their plotting of evil. But the evil plot encompasses only him who makes it. Then, can they expect anything (else), but the Sunnah (way of dealing) of the peoples of old? So no change will you find in Allâh's Sunnah (way of dealing), and no turning off will you find in Allâh's Sunnah (way of dealing).

(44)Have they not travelled in the land, and seen what was the end of those before them, and they were superior to them in power? Allâh is not such that anything in the heavens or in the earth escapes Him. Verily, He is AllKnowing, AllOmnipotent.

(45)And if Allâh were to punish men for that which they earned, He would not leave a moving (living) creature on the surface of the earth, but He gives them respite to an appointed term, and when their term comes, then verily, Allâh is Ever AllSeer of His slaves.
