ইয়া সীন (আরবী বর্ণমালার দু'টি অক্ষর)

1 Ya Seen.

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Ya-Sin. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings].

2 I swear by the Quran full of wisdom

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

3 Most surely you are one of the apostles

3 Truly, you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) are one of the Messengers,

4 On a right way.

4 On the Straight Path (i.e. on Allah's religion of Islamic Monotheism).

5 A revelation of the Mighty, the Merciful.

5 (This is a Revelation) sent down by the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful,

6 That you may warn a people whose fathers were not warned, so they are heedless.

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

7 Certainly the word has proved true of most of them, so they do not believe.

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

8 Surely We have placed chains on their necks, and these reach up to their chins, so they have their heads raised aloft.

8 Verily We have put on their necks iron collars reaching to the chins, so that their heads are raised up.

9 And We have made before them a barrier and a barrier behind them, then We have covered them over so that they do not see.

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 And it is alike to them whether you warn them or warn them not: they do not believe.

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 and fears the Beneficent Allah in secret; so announce to him forgiveness and an honorable reward.

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

12 Surely We give life to the dead, and We write down what they have sent before and their footprints, and We have recorded everything in a clear writing.

12 Verily, We give life to the dead, and We record that which they send before (them), and their traces and all things We have recorded with numbers (as a record) in a Clear Book.

13 And set out to them an example of the people of the town, when the apostles came to it.

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, they rejected both of them, then We strengthened (them) with a third, so they said: Surely we are apostles to you.

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 said: You are naught but mortals like ourselves, nor has the Beneficent Allah revealed anything; you only lie.

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

16 They said: Our Lord knows that we are most surely apostles to you.

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

17 And nothing devolves on us but a clear deliverance (of the message).

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

18 They said: Surely we augur evil from you; if you do not desist, we will certainly stone you, and there shall certainly afflict you a painful chastisement from us.

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 said: Your evil fortune is with you; what! if you are reminded! Nay, you are an extravagant people.

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 Musrifun (transgressing all bounds by committing all kinds of great sins, and by disobeying Allah).

20 And from the remote part of the city there came a man running, he said: O my people! follow the apostles;

20 And there came a man running from the farthest part of the town. He said: "O my people! Obey the Messengers.

21 Follow him who does not ask you for reward, and they are the followers of the right course;

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

22 And what reason have I that I should not serve Him Who brought me into existence? And to Him you shall be brought back;

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

23 What! shall I take besides Him gods whose intercession, If the Beneficent Allah should desire to afflict me with a harm, shall not avail me aught, nor shall they be able to deliver me?

23 "Shall I take besides Him alihah (gods)? If the Most Gracious (Allah) intends me any harm, their intercession will be of no use for me whatsoever, nor can they save me?

24 In that case I shall most surely be in clear error:

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

25 Surely I believe in your Lord, therefore hear me.

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

26 It was said: Enter the garden. He said: O would that my people had known

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

27 Of that on account of which my Lord has forgiven me and made me of the honored ones!

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

28 And We did not send down upon his people after him any hosts from heaven, nor do We ever send down.

28 And We sent not against his people after him a host from the heaven, nor was it needful for Us to send (such a thing).

29 It was naught but a single cry, and lo! they were still.

29 It was but one Saihah (shout) and lo! they (all) were still (silent,dead,destroyed).

30 Alas for the servants! there comes not to them an apostle but they mock at him.

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

31 Do they not consider how many of the generations have We destroyed before them, because they do not turn to them?

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

32 And all of them shall surely be brought before Us.

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

33 And a sign to them is the dead earth: We give life to it and bring forth from it grain SQ they eat of it.

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

34 And We make therein gardens of palms and grapevines and We make springs to flow forth in it,

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

35 That they may eat of the fruit thereof, and their hands did not make it; will they not then be grateful?

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 created pairs of all things, of what the earth grows, and of their kind and of what they do not know.

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 to them is the night: We draw forth from it the day, then lo! they are in the dark;

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 to a term appointed for it; that is the ordinance of the Mighty, the Knowing.

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 (as for) the moon, We have ordained for it stages till it becomes again as an old dry palm branch.

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

40 Neither is it allowable to the sun that it should overtake the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day; and all float on in a sphere.

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 a sign to them is that We bear their offspring in the laden ship.

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

42 And We have created for them the like of it, what they will ride on.

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

43 And if We please, We can drown them, then there shall be no succorer for them, nor shall they be rescued

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 But (by) mercy from Us and for enjoyment till a time.

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

45 And when it is said to them: Guard against what is before you and what is behind you, that mercy may be had on you.

45 And when it is said to them: "Fear 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 Allah's religion - Islamic Monotheism, and avoid polytheism, and obey Allah with righteous deeds)."

46 And there comes not to them a communication of the communications of their Lord but they turn aside from it.

46 And never came an Ayah from among the Ayat (proofs, evidence, 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 out of what Allah has given you, those who disbelieve say to those who believe: Shall we feed him whom, if Allah please, He could feed? You are in naught but clear error.

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

48 And they say: When will this threat come to pass, if you are truthful?

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

49 They wait not for aught but a single cry which will overtake them while they yet contend with one another.

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

50 So they shall not be able to make a bequest, nor shall they return to their families.

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

51 And the trumpet shall be blown, when lo! from their graves they shall hasten on to their Lord.

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 shall say: O woe to us! who has raised us up from our sleeping - place? This is what the Beneficent Allah promised and the apostles told the truth.

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 Gracious (Allah) had promised, and the Messengers spoke truth!"

53 There would be naught but a single cry, when lo! they shall all be brought before Us;

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

54 So this day no soul shall be dealt with unjustly in the least; and you shall not be rewarded aught but that which you did.

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 Surely the dwellers of the garden shall on that day be in an occupation quite happy.

55 Verily, the dwellers of the Paradise, that Day, will be busy with joyful things.

56 They and their wives shall be in shades, reclining on raised couches.

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

57 They shall have fruits therein, and they shall have whatever they desire.

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

58 Peace: a word from a Merciful Lord.

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

59 And get aside today, O guilty ones!

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

60 Did I not charge you, O children of Adam! that you should not serve the Shaitan? Surely he is your open enemy,

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

61 And that you should serve Me; this is the right way.

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

62 And certainly he led astray numerous people from among you. What! could you not then understand?

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

63 This is the hell with which you were threatened.

63 This is Hell which you were promised!

64 Enter into it this day because you disbelieved.

64 Burn therein this Day, for that you used to disbelieve.

65 On that day We will set a seal upon their mouths, and their hands shall speak to Us, and their feet shall bear witness of what they earned.

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-Tabari,]

66 And if We please We would certainly put out their eyes, then they would run about groping for the way, but how should they see?

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 We please We would surely transform them in their place, then they would not be able to go on, nor will they return.

67 And if it had been Our Will, We could have transformed them (into animals or lifeless objects) in their places. Then they would have been unable to go forward (move about) nor they could have turned back.

68 And whomsoever We cause to live long, We reduce (him) to an abject state in constitution; do they not then understand?

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 poetry, nor is it meet for him; it is nothing but a reminder and a plain Quran,

69 And We have not taught him (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) poetry, nor is it suitable for him. This is only a Reminder and a plain Qur'an.

70 That it may warn him who would have life, and (that) the word may prove true against the unbelievers.

70 That he or it (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم or the Qur'an) 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 cattle for them, out of what Our hands have wrought, so they are their masters?

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 subjected them to them, so some of them they have to ride upon, and some of them they eat.

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

73 And therein they have advantages and drinks; will they not then be grateful?

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

74 And they have taken gods besides Allah that they may be helped.

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

75 (But) they shall not be able to assist them, and they shall be a host brought up before them.

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 Therefore let not their speech grieve you; surely We know what they do in secret and what they do openly.

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

77 Does not man see that We have created him from the small seed? Then lo! he is an open disputant.

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

78 And he strikes out a likeness for Us and forgets his own creation. Says he: Who will give life to the bones when they are rotten?

78 And he puts forth for Us a parable, and forgets his own creation. He says: "Who will give life to these bones after they are rotten and have become dust?"

79 Say: He will give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation

79 Say: (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) "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 has made for you the fire (to burn) from the green tree, so that with it you kindle (fire).

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? Yea! and He is the Creator (of all), the Knower.

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 His command, when He intends anything, is only to say to it: Be, so it is.

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

83 Therefore glory be to Him in Whose hand is the kingdom of all things, and to Him you shall be brought back.

83 So glorified be 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.
