36-1 : Ya Seen.

36-2 : I swear by the quran full of wisdom

36-3 : Most surely you are one of the apostles

36-4 : On a right way.

36-5 : A revelation of the Mighty, the Merciful.

36-6 : That you may warn a people whose fathers were not warned, so they are heedless.

36-7 : Certainly the word has proved true of most of them, so they do not believe.

36-8 : Surely We have placed chains on their necks, and these reach up to their chins, so they have their heads raised aloft.

36-9 : 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.

36-10 : And it is alike to them whether you warn them or warn them not: they do not believe.

36-11 : 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.

36-12 : 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.

36-13 : And set out to them an example of the people of the town, when the apostles came to it.

36-14 : 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.

36-15 : They said: You are naught but mortals like ourselves, nor has the Beneficent Allah revealed anything; you only lie.

36-16 : They said: Our Lord knows that we are most surely apostles to you.

36-17 : And nothing devolves on us but a clear deliverance (of the message).

36-18 : 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.

36-19 : They said: Your evil fortune is with you; what! if you are reminded! Nay, you are an extravagant people.

36-20 : And from the remote part of the city there came a man running, he said: O my people! follow the apostles;

36-21 : Follow him who does not ask you for reward, and they are the followers of the right course;

36-22 : And what reason have I that I should not serve Him Who brought me into existence? And to Him you shall be brought back;

36-23 : 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?

36-24 : In that case I shall most surely be in clear error:

36-25 : Surely I believe in your Lord, therefore hear me.

36-26 : It was said: Enter the garden. He said: O would that my people had known

36-27 : Of that on account of which my Lord has forgiven me and made me of the honored ones!

36-28 : And We did not send down upon his people after him any hosts from heaven, nor do We ever send down.

36-29 : It was naught but a single cry, and lo! they were still.

36-30 : Alas for the servants! there comes not to them an apostle but they mock at him.

36-31 : Do they not consider how many of the generations have We destroyed before them, because they do not turn to them?

36-32 : And all of them shall surely be brought before Us.

36-33 : 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.

36-34 : And We make therein gardens of palms and grapevines and We make springs to flow forth in it,

36-35 : That they may eat of the fruit thereof, and their hands did not make it; will they not then be grateful?

36-36 : 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.

36-37 : And a sign to them is the night: We draw forth from it the day, then lo! they are in the dark;

36-38 : And the sun runs on to a term appointed for it; that is the ordinance of the Mighty, the Knowing.

36-39 : And (as for) the moon, We have ordained for it stages till it becomes again as an old dry palm branch.

36-40 : 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.

36-41 : And a sign to them is that We bear their offspring in the laden ship.

36-42 : And We have created for them the like of it, what they will ride on.

36-43 : And if We please, We can drown them, then there shall be no succorer for them, nor shall they be rescued

36-44 : But (by) mercy from Us and for enjoyment till a time.

36-45 : 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.

36-46 : And there comes not to them a communication of the communications of their Lord but they turn aside from it.

36-47 : 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.

36-48 : And they say: When will this threat come to pass, if you are truthful?

36-49 : They wait not for aught but a single cry which will overtake them while they yet contend with one another.

36-50 : So they shall not be able to make a bequest, nor shall they return to their families.

36-51 : And the trumpet shall be blown, when lo! from their graves they shall hasten on to their Lord.

36-52 : 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.

36-53 : There would be naught but a single cry, when lo! they shall all be brought before Us;

36-54 : 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.

36-55 : Surely the dwellers of the garden shall on that day be in an occupation quite happy.

36-56 : They and their wives shall be in shades, reclining on raised couches.

36-57 : They shall have fruits therein, and they shall have whatever they desire.

36-58 : Peace: a word from a Merciful Lord.

36-59 : And get aside today, O guilty ones!

36-60 : Did I not charge you, O children of Adam! that you should not serve the Shaitan? Surely he is your open enemy,

36-61 : And that you should serve Me; this is the right way.

36-62 : And certainly he led astray numerous people from among you. What! could you not then understand?

36-63 : This is the hell with which you were threatened.

36-64 : Enter into it this day because you disbelieved.

36-65 : 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.

36-66 : 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?

36-67 : 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.

36-68 : And whomsoever We cause to live long, We reduce (him) to an abject state in constitution; do they not then understand?

36-69 : And We have not taught him poetry, nor is it meet for him; it is nothing but a reminder and a plain quran,

36-70 : That it may warn him who would have life, and (that) the word may prove true against the unbelievers.

36-71 : Do they not see that We have created cattle for them, out of what Our hands have wrought, so they are their masters?

36-72 : And We have subjected them to them, so some of them they have to ride upon, and some of them they eat.

36-73 : And therein they have advantages and drinks; will they not then be grateful?

36-74 : And they have taken gods besides Allah that they may be helped.

36-75 : (But) they shall not be able to assist them, and they shall be a host brought up before them.

36-76 : Therefore let not their speech grieve you; surely We know what they do in secret and what they do openly.

36-77 : Does not man see that We have created him from the small seed? Then lo! he is an open disputant.

36-78 : 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?

36-79 : Say: He will give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation

36-80 : He Who has made for you the fire (to burn) from the green tree, so that with it you kindle (fire).

36-81 : 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.

36-82 : His command, when He intends anything, is only to say to it: Be, so it is.

36-83 : Therefore glory be to Him in Whose hand is the kingdom of all things, and to Him you shall be brought back.
