Ya, Seen.
Ya Seen.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ يس
By the wise Qur'an.
I swear by the Quran full of wisdom
وَالْقُرْآنِ الْحَكِيمِ
Indeed you, [O Muhammad], are from among the messengers,
Most surely you are one of the apostles
إِنَّكَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
On a straight path.
On a right way.
عَلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ
[This is] a revelation of the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,
A revelation of the Mighty, the Merciful.
تَنزِيلَ الْعَزِيزِ الرَّحِيمِ
That you may warn a people whose forefathers were not warned, so they are unaware.
That you may warn a people whose fathers were not warned, so they are heedless.
لِتُنذِرَ قَوْمًا مَّا أُنذِرَ آبَاؤُهُمْ فَهُمْ غَافِلُونَ
Already the word has come into effect upon most of them, so they do not believe.
Certainly the word has proved true of most of them, so they do not believe.
لَقَدْ حَقَّ الْقَوْلُ عَلَىٰ أَكْثَرِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
Indeed, We have put shackles on their necks, and they are to their chins, so they are with heads [kept] aloft.
Surely We have placed chains on their necks, and these reach up to their chins, so they have their heads raised aloft.
إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا فِي أَعْنَاقِهِمْ أَغْلَالًا فَهِيَ إِلَى الْأَذْقَانِ فَهُم مُّقْمَحُونَ
And We have put before them a barrier and behind them a barrier and covered them, so they do not see.
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.
وَجَعَلْنَا مِن بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ سَدًّا وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ سَدًّا فَأَغْشَيْنَاهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ
And it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them - they will not believe.
And it is alike to them whether you warn them or warn them not: they do not believe.
وَسَوَاءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ أَأَنذَرْتَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تُنذِرْهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
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.
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.
إِنَّمَا تُنذِرُ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الذِّكْرَ وَخَشِيَ الرَّحْمَٰنَ بِالْغَيْبِ ۖ فَبَشِّرْهُ بِمَغْفِرَةٍ وَأَجْرٍ كَرِيمٍ
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.
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.
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نُحْيِي الْمَوْتَىٰ وَنَكْتُبُ مَا قَدَّمُوا وَآثَارَهُمْ ۚ وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَاهُ فِي إِمَامٍ مُّبِينٍ
And present to them an example: the people of the city, when the messengers came to it -
And set out to them an example of the people of the town, when the apostles came to it.
وَاضْرِبْ لَهُم مَّثَلًا أَصْحَابَ الْقَرْيَةِ إِذْ جَاءَهَا الْمُرْسَلُونَ
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."
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.
إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْهِمُ اثْنَيْنِ فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَعَزَّزْنَا بِثَالِثٍ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا إِلَيْكُم مُّرْسَلُونَ
They said, "You are not but human beings like us, and the Most Merciful has not revealed a thing. You are only telling lies."
They said: You are naught but mortals like ourselves, nor has the Beneficent Allah revealed anything; you only lie.
قَالُوا مَا أَنتُمْ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا وَمَا أَنزَلَ الرَّحْمَٰنُ مِن شَيْءٍ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا تَكْذِبُونَ
They said, "Our Lord knows that we are messengers to you,
They said: Our Lord knows that we are most surely apostles to you.
قَالُوا رَبُّنَا يَعْلَمُ إِنَّا إِلَيْكُمْ لَمُرْسَلُونَ
And we are not responsible except for clear notification."
And nothing devolves on us but a clear deliverance (of the message).
وَمَا عَلَيْنَا إِلَّا الْبَلَاغُ الْمُبِينُ
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: 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.
قَالُوا إِنَّا تَطَيَّرْنَا بِكُمْ ۖ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهُوا لَنَرْجُمَنَّكُمْ وَلَيَمَسَّنَّكُم مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
They said, "Your omen is with yourselves. Is it because you were reminded? Rather, you are a transgressing people."
They said: Your evil fortune is with you; what! if you are reminded! Nay, you are an extravagant people.
قَالُوا طَائِرُكُم مَّعَكُمْ ۚ أَئِن ذُكِّرْتُم ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّسْرِفُونَ
And there came from the farthest end of the city a man, running. He said, "O my people, follow the messengers.
And from the remote part of the city there came a man running, he said: O my people! follow the apostles;
وَجَاءَ مِنْ أَقْصَى الْمَدِينَةِ رَجُلٌ يَسْعَىٰ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اتَّبِعُوا الْمُرْسَلِينَ
Follow those who do not ask of you [any] payment, and they are [rightly] guided.
Follow him who does not ask you for reward, and they are the followers of the right course;
اتَّبِعُوا مَن لَّا يَسْأَلُكُمْ أَجْرًا وَهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ
And why should I not worship He who created me and to whom you will be returned?
And what reason have I that I should not serve Him Who brought me into existence? And to Him you shall be brought back;
وَمَا لِيَ لَا أَعْبُدُ الَّذِي فَطَرَنِي وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ
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?
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?
أَأَتَّخِذُ مِن دُونِهِ آلِهَةً إِن يُرِدْنِ الرَّحْمَٰنُ بِضُرٍّ لَّا تُغْنِ عَنِّي شَفَاعَتُهُمْ شَيْئًا وَلَا يُنقِذُونِ
Indeed, I would then be in manifest error.
In that case I shall most surely be in clear error:
إِنِّي إِذًا لَّفِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ
Indeed, I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me."
Surely I believe in your Lord, therefore hear me.
إِنِّي آمَنتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ فَاسْمَعُونِ
It was said, "Enter Paradise." He said, "I wish my people could know
It was said: Enter the garden. He said: O would that my people had known
قِيلَ ادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ ۖ قَالَ يَا لَيْتَ قَوْمِي يَعْلَمُونَ
Of how my Lord has forgiven me and placed me among the honored."
Of that on account of which my Lord has forgiven me and made me of the honored ones!
بِمَا غَفَرَ لِي رَبِّي وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ الْمُكْرَمِينَ
And We did not send down upon his people after him any soldiers from the heaven, nor would We have done so.
And We did not send down upon his people after him any hosts from heaven, nor do We ever send down.
۞ وَمَا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ مِن بَعْدِهِ مِن جُندٍ مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ وَمَا كُنَّا مُنزِلِينَ
It was not but one shout, and immediately they were extinguished.
It was naught but a single cry, and lo! they were still.
إِن كَانَتْ إِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَاحِدَةً فَإِذَا هُمْ خَامِدُونَ
How regretful for the servants. There did not come to them any messenger except that they used to ridicule him.
Alas for the servants! there comes not to them an apostle but they mock at him.
يَا حَسْرَةً عَلَى الْعِبَادِ ۚ مَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ
Have they not considered how many generations We destroyed before them - that they to them will not return?
Do they not consider how many of the generations have We destroyed before them, because they do not turn to them?
أَلَمْ يَرَوْا كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّنَ الْقُرُونِ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ
And indeed, all of them will yet be brought present before Us.
And all of them shall surely be brought before Us.
وَإِن كُلٌّ لَّمَّا جَمِيعٌ لَّدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ
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 a sign to them is the dead earth: We give life to it and bring forth from it grain SQ they eat of it.
وَآيَةٌ لَّهُمُ الْأَرْضُ الْمَيْتَةُ أَحْيَيْنَاهَا وَأَخْرَجْنَا مِنْهَا حَبًّا فَمِنْهُ يَأْكُلُونَ
And We placed therein gardens of palm trees and grapevines and caused to burst forth therefrom some springs -
And We make therein gardens of palms and grapevines and We make springs to flow forth in it,
وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا جَنَّاتٍ مِّن نَّخِيلٍ وَأَعْنَابٍ وَفَجَّرْنَا فِيهَا مِنَ الْعُيُونِ
That they may eat of His fruit. And their hands have not produced it, so will they not be grateful?
That they may eat of the fruit thereof, and their hands did not make it; will they not then be grateful?
لِيَأْكُلُوا مِن ثَمَرِهِ وَمَا عَمِلَتْهُ أَيْدِيهِمْ ۖ أَفَلَا يَشْكُرُونَ
Exalted is He who created all pairs - from what the earth grows and from themselves and from that which they do not know.
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.
سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْأَزْوَاجَ كُلَّهَا مِمَّا تُنبِتُ الْأَرْضُ وَمِنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَمِمَّا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
And a sign for them is the night. We remove from it [the light of] day, so they are [left] in darkness.
And a sign to them is the night: We draw forth from it the day, then lo! they are in the dark;
وَآيَةٌ لَّهُمُ اللَّيْلُ نَسْلَخُ مِنْهُ النَّهَارَ فَإِذَا هُم مُّظْلِمُونَ
And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.
And the sun runs on to a term appointed for it; that is the ordinance of the Mighty, the Knowing.
وَالشَّمْسُ تَجْرِي لِمُسْتَقَرٍّ لَّهَا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِ
And the moon - We have determined for it phases, until it returns [appearing] like the old date stalk.
And (as for) the moon, We have ordained for it stages till it becomes again as an old dry palm branch.
وَالْقَمَرَ قَدَّرْنَاهُ مَنَازِلَ حَتَّىٰ عَادَ كَالْعُرْجُونِ الْقَدِيمِ
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.
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.
لَا الشَّمْسُ يَنبَغِي لَهَا أَن تُدْرِكَ الْقَمَرَ وَلَا اللَّيْلُ سَابِقُ النَّهَارِ ۚ وَكُلٌّ فِي فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ

وَخَلَقْنَا لَهُم مِّن مِّثْلِهِ مَا يَرْكَبُونَ
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
And if We please, We can drown them, then there shall be no succorer for them, nor shall they be rescued
وَإِن نَّشَأْ نُغْرِقْهُمْ فَلَا صَرِيخَ لَهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنقَذُونَ
Except as a mercy from Us and provision for a time.
But (by) mercy from Us and for enjoyment till a time.
إِلَّا رَحْمَةً مِّنَّا وَمَتَاعًا إِلَىٰ حِينٍ

وَمَا تَأْتِيهِم مِّنْ آيَةٍ مِّنْ آيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ إِلَّا كَانُوا عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ
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."
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.
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ أَنفِقُوا مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ قَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنُطْعِمُ مَن لَّوْ يَشَاءُ اللَّهُ أَطْعَمَهُ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ

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

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.
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.
الْيَوْمَ نَخْتِمُ عَلَىٰ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَتُكَلِّمُنَا أَيْدِيهِمْ وَتَشْهَدُ أَرْجُلُهُم بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ
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 please We would certainly put out their eyes, then they would run about groping for the way, but how should they see?
وَلَوْ نَشَاءُ لَطَمَسْنَا عَلَىٰ أَعْيُنِهِمْ فَاسْتَبَقُوا الصِّرَاطَ فَأَنَّىٰ يُبْصِرُونَ

وَلَوْ نَشَاءُ لَمَسَخْنَاهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِهِمْ فَمَا اسْتَطَاعُوا مُضِيًّا وَلَا يَرْجِعُونَ
And he to whom We grant long life We reverse in creation; so will they not understand?

But they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that perhaps they would be helped.
And they have taken gods besides Allah that they may be helped.
وَاتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ آلِهَةً لَّعَلَّهُمْ يُنصَرُونَ
They are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance.
(But) they shall not be able to assist them, and they shall be a host brought up before them.
لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ نَصْرَهُمْ وَهُمْ لَهُمْ جُندٌ مُّحْضَرُونَ
So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare.
Therefore let not their speech grieve you; surely We know what they do in secret and what they do openly.
فَلَا يَحْزُنكَ قَوْلُهُمْ ۘ إِنَّا نَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ
Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm - drop - then at once he is a clear adversary?
Does not man see that We have created him from the small seed? Then lo! he is an open disputant.
أَوَلَمْ يَرَ الْإِنسَانُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌ مُّبِينٌ
And he presents for Us an example and forgets his [own] creation. He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?"
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?

الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ الشَّجَرِ الْأَخْضَرِ نَارًا فَإِذَا أَنتُم مِّنْهُ تُوقِدُونَ
