Ya Sin

1 Ya Sin.

1 Ya Seen.

1 Yaseen

2 By the Qur'an, full of Wisdom, -

2 I swear by the Quran full of wisdom

2 Waalqurani alhakeemi

3 Thou art indeed one of the messengers,

3 Most surely you are one of the apostles

3 Innaka lamina almursaleena

4 On a Straight Way.

4 On a right way.

4 AAala siratin mustaqeemin

5 It is a Revelation sent down by (Him), the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.

5 A revelation of the Mighty, the Merciful.

5 Tanzeela alAAazeezi alrraheemi

6 In order that thou mayest admonish a people, whose fathers had received no admonition, and who therefore remain heedless (of the Signs of Allah).

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

6 Litunthira qawman ma onthira abaohum fahum ghafiloona

7 The Word is proved true against the greater part of them: for they do not believe.

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

7 Laqad haqqa alqawlu AAala aktharihim fahum la yuminoona

8 We have put yokes round their necks right up to their chins, so that their heads are forced up (and they cannot see).

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

8 Inna jaAAalna fee aAAnaqihim aghlalan fahiya ila alathqani fahum muqmahoona

9 And We have put a bar in front of them and a bar behind them, and further, We have covered them up; so that they cannot see.

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 WajaAAalna min bayni aydeehim saddan wamin khalfihim saddan faaghshaynahum fahum la yubsiroona

10 The same is it to them whether thou admonish them or thou do not admonish them: they will not believe.

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

10 Wasawaon AAalayhim aanthartahum am lam tunthirhum la yuminoona

11 Thou canst but admonish such a one as follows the Message and fears the (Lord) Most Gracious, unseen: give such a one, therefore, good tidings, of Forgiveness and a Reward most generous.

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 Innama tunthiru mani ittabaAAa alththikra wakhashiya alrrahmana bialghaybi fabashshirhu bimaghfiratin waajrin kareemin

12 Verily We shall give life to the dead, and We record that which they send before and that which they leave behind, and of all things have We taken account in a clear Book (of evidence).

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 Inna nahnu nuhyee almawta wanaktubu ma qaddamoo waatharahum wakulla shayin ahsaynahu fee imamin mubeenin

13 Set forth to them, by way of a parable, the (story of) the Companions of the City. Behold!, there came messengers to it.

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

13 Waidrib lahum mathalan ashaba alqaryati ith jaaha almursaloona

14 When We (first) sent to them two messengers, they rejected them: But We strengthened them with a third: they said, "Truly, we have been sent on a mission to you."

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 Ith arsalna ilayhimu ithnayni fakaththaboohuma faAAazzazna bithalithin faqaloo inna ilaykum mursaloona

15 The (people) said: "Ye are only men like ourselves; and (Allah) Most Gracious sends no sort of revelation: ye do nothing but lie."

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

15 Qaloo ma antum illa basharun mithluna wama anzala alrrahmanu min shayin in antum illa takthiboona

16 They said: "Our Lord doth know that we have been sent on a mission to you:

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

16 Qaloo rabbuna yaAAlamu inna ilaykum lamursaloona

17 "And our duty is only to proclaim the clear Message."

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

17 Wama AAalayna illa albalaghu almubeenu

18 The (people) said: "for us, we augur an evil omen from you: if ye desist not, we will certainly stone you. And a grievous punishment indeed will be inflicted on you by us."

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 Qaloo inna tatayyarna bikum lain lam tantahoo lanarjumannakum walayamassannakum minna AAathabun aleemun

19 They said: "Your evil omens are with yourselves: (deem ye this an evil omen). If ye are admonished? Nay, but ye are a people transgressing all bounds!"

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

19 Qaloo tairukum maAAakum ain thukkirtum bal antum qawmun musrifoona

20 Then there came running, from the farthest part of the City, a man, saying, "O my people! Obey the messengers:

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

20 Wajaa min aqsa almadeenati rajulun yasAAa qala ya qawmi ittabiAAoo almursaleena

21 "Obey those who ask no reward of you (for themselves), and who have themselves received Guidance.

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

21 IttabiAAoo man la yasalukum ajran wahum muhtadoona

22 "It would not be reasonable in me if I did not serve Him Who created me, and to Whom ye shall (all) be brought back.

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 Wama liya la aAAbudu allathee fataranee wailayhi turjaAAoona

23 "Shall I take (other) gods besides Him? If (Allah) Most Gracious should intend some adversity for me, of no use whatever will be their intercession for me, nor can they deliver me.

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 Aattakhithu min doonihi alihatan in yuridni alrrahmanu bidurrin la tughni AAannee shafaAAatuhum shayan wala yunqithooni

24 "I would indeed, if I were to do so, be in manifest Error.

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

24 Innee ithan lafee dalalin mubeenin

25 "For me, I have faith in the Lord of you (all): listen, then, to me!"

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

25 Innee amantu birabbikum faismaAAooni

26 It was said: "Enter thou the Garden." He said: "Ah me! Would that my People knew (what I know)! -

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

26 Qeela odkhuli aljannata qala ya layta qawmee yaAAlamoona

27 "For that my Lord has granted me Forgiveness and has enrolled me among those held in honour!"

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

27 Bima ghafara lee rabbee wajaAAalanee mina almukrameena

28 And We sent not down against his People, after him, any hosts from heaven, nor was it needful for Us so to do.

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

28 Wama anzalna AAala qawmihi min baAAdihi min jundin mina alssamai wama kunna munzileena

29 It was no more than a single mighty Blast, and behold! they were (like ashes) quenched and silent.

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

29 In kanat illa sayhatan wahidatan faitha hum khamidoona

30 Ah! Alas for (My) Servants! There comes not a messenger to them but they mock him!

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

30 Ya hasratan AAala alAAibadi ma yateehim min rasoolin illa kanoo bihi yastahzioona

31 See they not how many generations before them we destroyed? Not to them will they return:

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

31 Alam yaraw kam ahlakna qablahum mina alqurooni annahum ilayhim la yarjiAAoona

32 But each one of them all - will be brought before Us (for judgment).

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

32 Wain kullun lamma jameeAAun ladayna muhdaroona

33 A Sign for them is the earth that is dead: We do give it life, and produce grain therefrom, of which ye do eat.

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 Waayatun lahumu alardu almaytatu ahyaynaha waakhrajna minha habban faminhu yakuloona

34 And We produce therein orchard with date - palms and vines, and We cause springs to gush forth therein:

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

34 WajaAAalna feeha jannatin min nakheelin waaAAnabin wafajjarna feeha mina alAAuyooni

35 That they may enjoy the fruits of this (artistry): It was not their hands that made this: will they not then give thanks?

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

35 Liyakuloo min thamarihi wama AAamilathu aydeehim afala yashkuroona

36 Glory to Allah, Who created in pairs all things that the earth produces, as well as their own (human) kind and (other) things of which they have no knowledge.

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 Subhana allathee khalaqa alazwaja kullaha mimma tunbitu alardu wamin anfusihim wamimma la yaAAlamoona

37 And a Sign for them is the Night: We withdraw therefrom the Day, and behold they are plunged in darkness;

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

37 Waayatun lahumu allaylu naslakhu minhu alnnahara faitha hum muthlimoona

38 And the sun runs his course for a period determined for him: that is the decree of (Him), the Exalted in Might, the All - Knowing.

38 And the sun runs on to a term appointed for it; that is the ordinance of the Mighty, the Knowing.

38 Waalshshamsu tajree limustaqarrin laha thalika taqdeeru alAAazeezi alAAaleemi

39 And the Moon, - We have measured for her mansions (to traverse) till she returns like the old (and withered) lower part of a date - stalk.

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

39 Waalqamara qaddarnahu manazila hatta AAada kaalAAurjooni alqadeemi

40 It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip the Day: Each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law).

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 La alshshamsu yanbaghee laha an tudrika alqamara wala allaylu sabiqu alnnahari wakullun fee falakin yasbahoona

41 And a Sign for them is that We bore their race (through the Flood) in the loaded Ark;

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

41 Waayatun lahum anna hamalna thurriyyatahum fee alfulki almashhooni

42 And We have created for them similar (vessels) on which they ride.

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

42 Wakhalaqna lahum min mithlihi ma yarkaboona

43 If it were Our Will, We could drown them: then would there be no helper (to hear their cry), nor could they be delivered,

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

43 Wain nasha nughriqhum fala sareekha lahum wala hum yunqathoona

44 Except by way of Mercy from Us, and by way of (world) convenience (to serve them) for a time.

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

44 Illa rahmatan minna wamataAAan ila heenin

45 When they are told, "Fear ye that which is before you and that which will be after you, in order that ye may receive Mercy," (they turn back).

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 Waitha qeela lahumu ittaqoo ma bayna aydeekum wama khalfakum laAAallakum turhamoona

46 Not a Sign comes to them from among the Signs of their Lord, but they turn away therefrom.

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

46 Wama tateehim min ayatin min ayati rabbihim illa kanoo AAanha muAArideena

47 And when they are told, "Spend ye of (the bounties) with which Allah has provided you," the Unbelievers say to those who believe: "Shall we then feed those whom, if Allah had so willed, He would have fed, (Himself)? - Ye are in nothing but manifest error."

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 Waitha qeela lahum anfiqoo mimma razaqakumu Allahu qala allatheena kafaroo lillatheena amanoo anutAAimu man law yashao Allahu atAAamahu in antum illa fee dalalin mubeenin

48 Further, they say, "When will this promise (come to pass), if what ye say is true?"

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

48 Wayaqooloona mata hatha alwaAAdu in kuntum sadiqeena

49 They will not (have to) wait for aught but a single Blast: it will seize them while they are yet disputing among themselves!

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

49 Ma yanthuroona illa sayhatan wahidatan takhuthuhum wahum yakhissimoona

50 No (chance) will they then have, by will, to dispose (of their affairs), nor to return to their own people!

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

50 Fala yastateeAAoona tawsiyatan wala ila ahlihim yarjiAAoona

51 The trumpet shall be sounded, when behold! from the sepulchres (men) will rush forth to their Lord!

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

51 Wanufikha fee alssoori faitha hum mina alajdathi ila rabbihim yansiloona

52 They will say: "Ah! Woe unto us! Who hath raised us up from our beds of repose?"... (A voice will say:) "This is what (Allah) Most Gracious had promised. And true was the word of the messengers!"

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 Qaloo ya waylana man baAAathana min marqadina hatha ma waAAada alrrahmanu wasadaqa almursaloona

53 It will be no more than a single Blast, when lo! they will all be brought up before Us!

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

53 In kanat illa sayhatan wahidatan faitha hum jameeAAun ladayna muhdaroona

54 Then, on that Day, not a soul will be wronged in the least, and ye shall but be repaid the meeds of your past Deeds.

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 Faalyawma la tuthlamu nafsun shayan wala tujzawna illa ma kuntum taAAmaloona

55 Verily the Companions of the Garden shall that Day have joy in all that they do;

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

55 Inna ashaba aljannati alyawma fee shughulin fakihoona

56 They and their associates will be in groves of (cool) shade, reclining on Thrones (of dignity);

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

56 Hum waazwajuhum fee thilalin AAala alaraiki muttakioona

57 (Every) fruit (enjoyment) will be there for them; they shall have whatever they call for;

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

57 Lahum feeha fakihatun walahum ma yaddaAAoona

58 "Peace!" - a word (of salutation) from a Lord Most Merciful!

58 Peace: a word from a Merciful Lord.

58 Salamun qawlan min rabbin raheemin

59 "And O ye in sin! Get ye apart this Day!

59 And get aside today, O guilty ones!

59 Waimtazoo alyawma ayyuha almujrimoona

60 "Did I not enjoin on you, O ye Children of Adam, that ye should not worship Satan; for that he was to you an enemy avowed? -

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

60 Alam aAAhad ilaykum ya banee adama an la taAAbudoo alshshaytana innahu lakum AAaduwwun mubeenun

61 "And that ye should worship Me, (for that) this was the Straight Way?

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

61 Waani oAAbudoonee hatha siratun mustaqeemun

62 "But he did lead astray a great multitude of you. Did ye not, then, understand?

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

62 Walaqad adalla minkum jibillan katheeran afalam takoonoo taAAqiloona

63 "This is the Hell of which ye were (repeatedly) warned!

63 This is the hell with which you were threatened.

63 Hathihi jahannamu allatee kuntum tooAAadoona

64 "Embrace ye the (fire) this Day, for that ye (persistently) rejected (Truth)."

64 Enter into it this day because you disbelieved.

64 Islawha alyawma bima kuntum takfuroona

65 That Day shall We set a seal on their mouths. But their hands will speak to us, and their feet bear witness, to all that they did.

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 Alyawma nakhtimu AAala afwahihim watukallimuna aydeehim watashhadu arjuluhum bima kanoo yaksiboona

66 If it had been our Will, We could surely have blotted out their eyes; then should they have run about groping for the Path, but how could they have seen?

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 Walaw nashao latamasna AAala aAAyunihim faistabaqoo alssirata faanna yubsiroona

67 And if it had been Our Will, We could have transformed them (to remain) in their places; then should they have been unable to move about, nor could they have returned (after error).

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 Walaw nashao lamasakhnahum AAala makanatihim fama istataAAoo mudiyyan wala yarjiAAoona

68 If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then understand?

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

68 Waman nuAAammirhu nunakkishu fee alkhalqi afala yaAAqiloona

69 We have not instructed the (Prophet) in Poetry, nor is it meet for him: this is no less than a Message and a Qur'an making things clear:

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 Wama AAallamnahu alshshiAAra wama yanbaghee lahu in huwa illa thikrun waquranun mubeenun

70 That it may give admonition to any (who are) alive, and that the charge may be proved against those who reject (Truth).

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

70 Liyunthira man kana hayyan wayahiqqa alqawlu AAala alkafireena

71 See they not that it is We Who have created for them - among the things which Our hands have fashioned - cattle, which are under their dominion? -

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 Awalam yaraw anna khalaqna lahum mimma AAamilat aydeena anAAaman fahum laha malikoona

72 And that We have subjected them to their (use)? of them some do carry them and some they eat:

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

72 Wathallalnaha lahum faminha rakoobuhum waminha yakuloona

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

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

73 Walahum feeha manafiAAu wamasharibu afala yashkuroona

74 Yet they take (for worship) gods other than Allah, (hoping) that they might be helped!

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

74 Waittakhathoo min dooni Allahi alihatan laAAallahum yunsaroona

75 They have not the power to help them: but they will be brought up (before Our Judgment - seat) as a troop (to be condemned).

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

75 La yastateeAAoona nasrahum wahum lahum jundun muhdaroona

76 Let not their speech, then, grieve thee. Verily We know what they hide as well as what they disclose.

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

76 Fala yahzunka qawluhum inna naAAlamu ma yusirroona wama yuAAlinoona

77 Doth not man see that it is We Who created him from sperm? yet behold! he (stands forth) as an open adversary!

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

77 Awalam yara alinsanu anna khalaqnahu min nutfatin faitha huwa khaseemun mubeenun

78 And he makes comparisons for Us, and forgets his own (origin and) Creation: He says, "Who can give life to (dry) bones and decomposed ones (at that)?"

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 Wadaraba lana mathalan wanasiya khalqahu qala man yuhyee alAAithama wahiya rameemun

79 Say, "He will give them life Who created them for the first time! for He is Well - versed in every kind of creation! -

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

79 Qul yuhyeeha allathee anshaaha awwala marratin wahuwa bikulli khalqin AAaleemun

80 "The same Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! ye kindle therewith (your own fires)!

80 He Who has made for you the fire (to burn) from the green tree, so that with it you kindle (fire).

80 Allathee jaAAala lakum mina alshshajari alakhdari naran faitha antum minhu tooqidoona

81 "Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like thereof?" - Yea, indeed! for He is the Creator Supreme, of skill and knowledge (infinite)!

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 Awalaysa allathee khalaqa alssamawati waalarda biqadirin AAala an yakhluqa mithlahum bala wahuwa alkhallaqu alAAaleemu

82 Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "be", and it is!

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

82 Innama amruhu itha arada shayan an yaqoola lahu kun fayakoonu

83 So glory to Him in Whose hands is the dominion of all things: and to Him will ye be all brought back.

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