| 1. Ya Sin.
 2. By the Qur'an, full of 
												Wisdom,-
 
 3. Thou art indeed one of the 
												apostles,
 
 4. On a Straight Way.
 
 5. It is a Revelation sent down 
												by (Him), the Exalted in Might, 
												Most Merciful.
 
 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..
 
 7. The Word is proved true 
												against the greater part of 
												them: for they do not believe.
 
 8. We have put yokes round their 
												necks right up to their chins, 
												so that their heads are forced 
												up (and they cannot see).
 
 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.
 
 10. The same is it to them 
												whether thou admonish them or 
												thou do not admonish them: they 
												will not believe.
 
 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.
 
 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).
 
 13. Set forth to them, by way of 
												a parable, the (story of) the 
												Companions of the City. Behold!, 
												there came apostles to it.
 
 14. When We (first) sent to them 
												two apostles, they rejected 
												them: But We strengthened them 
												with a third: they said, "Truly, 
												we have been sent on a mission 
												to you."
 
 15. The (people) said: "Ye are 
												only men like ourselves; and 
												((Allah)) Most Gracious sends no 
												sort of revelation: ye do 
												nothing but lie."
 
 16. They said: "Our Lord doth 
												know that we have been sent on a 
												mission to you:
 
 17. "And our duty is only to 
												proclaim the clear Message."
 
 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."
 
 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!"
 
 20. Then there came running, 
												from the farthest part of the 
												City, a man, saying, "O my 
												people! Obey the apostles:
 
 21. "Obey those who ask no 
												reward of you (for themselves), 
												and who have themselves received 
												Guidance.
 
 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.
 
 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.
 
 24. "I would indeed, if I were 
												to do so, be in manifest Error.
 
 25. "For me, I have faith in the 
												Lord of you (all): listen, then, 
												to me!"
 
 26. It was said: "Enter thou the 
												Garden." He said: "Ah me! Would 
												that my People knew (what I 
												know)!-
 
 27. "For that my Lord has 
												granted me Forgiveness and has 
												enrolled me among those held in 
												honour!"
 
 28. And We sent not down against 
												his People, after him, any hosts 
												from heaven, nor was it needful 
												for Us so to do.
 
 29. It was no more than a single 
												mighty Blast, and behold! they 
												were (like ashes) quenched and 
												silent.
 
 30. Ah! Alas for (My) Servants! 
												There comes not an apostle to 
												them but they mock him!
 
 31. See they not how many 
												generations before them we 
												destroyed? Not to them will they 
												return:
 
 32. But each one of them all - 
												will be brought before Us (for 
												judgment).
 
 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.
 
 34. And We produce therein 
												orchard with date-palms and 
												vines, and We cause springs to 
												gush forth therein:
 
 35. That they may enjoy the 
												fruits of this (artistry): It 
												was not their hands that made 
												this: will they not then give 
												thanks?
 
 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.
 
 37. And a Sign for them is the 
												Night: We withdraw therefrom the 
												Day, and behold they are plunged 
												in darkness;
 
 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.
 
 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.
 
 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).
 
 41. And a Sign for them is that 
												We bore their race (through the 
												Flood) in the loaded Ark;
 
 42. And We have created for them 
												similar (vessels) on which they 
												ride.
 
 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,
 
 44. Except by way of Mercy from 
												Us, and by way of (world) 
												convenience (to serve them) for 
												a time.
 
 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).
 
 46. Not a Sign comes to them 
												from among the Signs of their 
												Lord, but they turn away 
												therefrom.
 
 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."
 
 48. Further, they say, "When 
												will this promise (come to 
												pass), if what ye say is true?"
 
 49. They will not (have to) wait 
												for aught but a single Blast: it 
												will seize them while they are 
												yet disputing among themselves!
 
 50. No (chance) will they then 
												have, by will, to dispose (of 
												their affairs), nor to return to 
												their own people!
 
 51. The trumpet shall be 
												sounded, when behold! from the 
												sepulchres (men) will rush forth 
												to their Lord!
 
 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 apostles!"
 
 53. It will be no more than a 
												single Blast, when lo! they will 
												all be brought up before Us!
 
 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.
 
 55. Verily the Companions of the 
												Garden shall that Day have joy 
												in all that they do;
 
 56. They and their associates 
												will be in groves of (cool) 
												shade, reclining on Thrones (of 
												dignity);
 
 57. (Every) fruit (enjoyment) 
												will be there for them; they 
												shall have whatever they call 
												for;
 
 58. "Peace!" - a word (of 
												salutation) from a Lord Most 
												Merciful!
 
 59. "And O ye in sin! Get ye 
												apart this Day!
 
 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?-
 
 61. "And that ye should worship 
												Me, (for that) this was the 
												Straight Way?
 
 62. "But he did lead astray a 
												great multitude of you. Did ye 
												not, then, understand?
 
 63. "This is the Hell of which 
												ye were (repeatedly) warned!
 
 64. "Embrace ye the (fire) this 
												Day, for that ye (persistently) 
												rejected (Truth)."
 
 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.
 
 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?
 
 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).
 
 68. If We grant long life to 
												any, We cause him to be reversed 
												in nature: Will they not then 
												understand?
 
 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:
 
 70. That it may give admonition 
												to any (who are) alive, and that 
												the charge may be proved against 
												those who reject (Truth).
 
 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?-
 
 72. And that We have subjected 
												them to their (use)? of them 
												some do carry them and some they 
												eat:
 
 73. And they have (other) 
												profits from them (besides), and 
												they get (milk) to drink. Will 
												they not then be grateful?
 
 74. Yet they take (for worship) 
												gods other than Allah, (hoping) 
												that they might be helped!
 
 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).
 
 76. Let not their speech, then, 
												grieve thee. Verily We know what 
												they hide as well as what they 
												disclose.
 
 77. Doth not man see that it is 
												We Who created him from sperm? 
												yet behold! he (stands forth) as 
												an open adversary!
 
 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)?"
 
 79. Say, "He will give them life 
												Who created them for the first 
												time! for He is Well-versed in 
												every kind of creation!-
 
 80. "The same Who produces for 
												you fire out of the green tree, 
												when behold! ye kindle therewith 
												(your own fires)!
 
 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)!
 
 82. Verily, when He intends a 
												thing, His Command is, "be", and 
												it is!
 
 83. So glory to Him in Whose 
												hands is the dominion of all 
												things: and to Him will ye be 
												all brought back.
