Yusuf AliYa Sin
Yusuf AliBy the Qur'an, full of Wisdom
Yusuf AliOn a Straight Way
Yusuf AliIt is a Revelation sent down by (Him), the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful
Yusuf AliIn order that thou mayest admonish a people, whose fathers had received no admonition, and who therefore remain heedless (of the Signs of God)
Yusuf AliThe Word is proved true against the greater part of them: for they do not believe
Yusuf AliWe have put yokes round their necks right up to their chins, so that their heads are forced up (and they cannot see)
Yusuf AliAnd 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
Yusuf AliThe same is it to them whether thou admonish them or thou do not admonish them: they will not believe
Yusuf AliThou 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
Yusuf AliVerily 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)
Yusuf AliSet forth to them, by way of a parable, the (story of) the Companions of the City. Behold!, there came apostles to it
Yusuf AliWhen 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
Yusuf AliThe (people) said: "Ye are only men like ourselves; and (God) Most Gracious sends no sort of revelation: ye do nothing but lie
Yusuf AliThey said: "Our Lord doth know that we have been sent on a mission to you
Yusuf AliAnd our duty is only to proclaim the clear Message
Yusuf AliThe (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
Yusuf AliThey 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
Yusuf AliThen there came running, from the farthest part of the City, a man, saying, "O my people! Obey the apostles
Yusuf AliObey those who ask no reward of you (for themselves), and who have themselves received Guidance
Yusuf AliIt would not be reasonable in me if I did not serve Him Who created me, and to Whom ye shall (all) be brought back
Yusuf AliShall I take (other) gods besides Him? If (God) Most Gracious should intend some adversity for me, of no use whatever will be their intercession for me, nor can they deliver me
Yusuf AliI would indeed, if I were to do so, be in manifest Error
Yusuf AliFor me, I have faith in the Lord of you (all): listen, then, to me
Yusuf AliIt was said: "Enter thou the Garden." He said: "Ah me! Would that my People knew (what I know)
Yusuf AliFor that my Lord has granted me Forgiveness and has enrolled me among those held in honour
Yusuf AliAnd We sent not down against his People, after him, any hosts from heaven, nor was it needful for Us so to do
Yusuf AliIt was no more than a single mighty Blast, and behold! they were (like ashes) quenched and silent
Yusuf AliAh! Alas for (My) Servants! There comes not an apostle to them but they mock him
Yusuf AliSee they not how many generations before them we destroyed? Not to them will they return
Yusuf AliBut each one of them all - will be brought before Us (for judgment)
Yusuf AliA Sign for them is the earth that is dead: We do give it life, and produce grain therefrom, of which ye do eat
Yusuf AliAnd We produce therein orchard with date-palms and vines, and We cause springs to gush forth therein
Yusuf AliThat they may enjoy the fruits of this (artistry): It was not their hands that made this: will they not then give thanks
Yusuf AliGlory to God, 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
Yusuf AliAnd a Sign for them is the Night: We withdraw therefrom the Day, and behold they are plunged in darkness
Yusuf AliAnd the sun runs his course for a period determined for him: that is the decree of (Him), the Exalted in Might, the All-Knowing
Yusuf AliAnd the Moon,- We have measured for her mansions (to traverse) till she returns like the old (and withered) lower part of a date-stalk
Yusuf AliIt 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)
Yusuf AliAnd a Sign for them is that We bore their race (through the Flood) in the loaded Ark
Yusuf AliAnd We have created for them similar (vessels) on which they ride
Yusuf AliIf it were Our Will, We could drown them: then would there be no helper (to hear their cry), nor could they be delivered
Yusuf AliExcept by way of Mercy from Us, and by way of (world) convenience (to serve them) for a time
Yusuf AliWhen 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)
Yusuf AliNot a Sign comes to them from among the Signs of their Lord, but they turn away therefrom
Yusuf AliAnd when they are told, "Spend ye of (the bounties) with which God has provided you," the Unbelievers say to those who believe: "Shall we then feed those whom, if God had so willed, He would have fed, (Himself)?- Ye are in nothing but manifest error
Yusuf AliFurther, they say, "When will this promise (come to pass), if what ye say is true
Yusuf AliThey will not (have to) wait for aught but a single Blast: it will seize them while they are yet disputing among themselves
Yusuf AliNo (chance) will they then have, by will, to dispose (of their affairs), nor to return to their own people
Yusuf AliThe trumpet shall be sounded, when behold! from the sepulchres (men) will rush forth to their Lord
Yusuf AliThey will say: "Ah! Woe unto us! Who hath raised us up from our beds of repose?"... (A voice will say:) "This is what (God) Most Gracious had promised. And true was the word of the apostles
Yusuf AliIt will be no more than a single Blast, when lo! they will all be brought up before Us
Yusuf AliThen, on that Day, not a soul will be wronged in the least, and ye shall but be repaid the meeds of your past Deeds
Yusuf AliVerily the Companions of the Garden shall that Day have joy in all that they do
Yusuf AliThey and their associates will be in groves of (cool) shade, reclining on Thrones (of dignity)
Yusuf Ali(Every) fruit (enjoyment) will be there for them; they shall have whatever they call for
Yusuf AliPeace!" - a word (of salutation) from a Lord Most Merciful
Yusuf AliAnd O ye in sin! Get ye apart this Day
Yusuf AliDid 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
Yusuf AliAnd that ye should worship Me, (for that) this was the Straight Way
Yusuf AliBut he did lead astray a great multitude of you. Did ye not, then, understand
Yusuf AliThis is the Hell of which ye were (repeatedly) warned
Yusuf AliEmbrace ye the (fire) this Day, for that ye (persistently) rejected (Truth)
Yusuf AliThat 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
Yusuf AliIf 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
Yusuf AliAnd 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)
Yusuf AliIf We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then understand
Yusuf AliWe 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
Yusuf AliThat it may give admonition to any (who are) alive, and that the charge may be proved against those who reject (Truth)
Yusuf AliSee 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
Yusuf AliAnd that We have subjected them to their (use)? of them some do carry them and some they eat
Yusuf AliAnd they have (other) profits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink. Will they not then be grateful
Yusuf AliYet they take (for worship) gods other than God, (hoping) that they might be helped
Yusuf AliThey have not the power to help them: but they will be brought up (before Our Judgment-seat) as a troop (to be condemned)
Yusuf AliLet not their speech, then, grieve thee. Verily We know what they hide as well as what they disclose
Yusuf AliDoth not man see that it is We Who created him from sperm? yet behold! he (stands forth) as an open adversary
Yusuf AliAnd 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)
Yusuf AliSay, "He will give them life Who created them for the first time! for He is Well-versed in every kind of creation
Yusuf AliThe same Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! ye kindle therewith (your own fires)
Yusuf AliIs 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)
Yusuf AliVerily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "be", and it is
Yusuf AliSo glory to Him in Whose hands is the dominion of all things: and to Him will ye be all brought back
