About Surah Yasin
Surah Yasin is named after the two Arabic letters it begins with. It speaks about the message of the prophets, the signs of Allah in creation, and resurrection. In Indonesia and Malaysia it is widely recited on Thursday nights and when visiting the sick or the deceased.
In the hadith
- A frequently quoted narration calls Yasin “the heart of the Quran”; many hadith scholars consider its chain of narration weak. (Jami' at-Tirmidhi 2887)
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
تَنْزِيْلَ الْعَزِيْزِ الرَّحِيْمِۙ
Tanziilal 'aziizir-rahiim(i)
(and this Qur'an) is a revelation from the Most Mighty, the Most Compassionate
لِتُنْذِرَ قَوْمًا مَّآ اُنْذِرَ اٰبَاۤؤُهُمْ فَهُمْ غٰفِلُوْنَ
Litundzira qauman maa undzira aabaa'uhum fahum ghaafiluun(a)
so that you may warn a people whose ancestors were not warned before wherefore they are heedless.
لَقَدْ حَقَّ الْقَوْلُ عَلٰٓى اَكْثَرِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ
Laqad haqqal qaulu 'ala aktsarihim fahum laa yu'minuun(a)
Surely most of them merit the decree of chastisement; so they do not believe.
اِنَّا جَعَلْنَا فِيْٓ اَعْنَاقِهِمْ اَغْلٰلًا فَهِيَ اِلَى الْاَذْقَانِ فَهُمْ مُّقْمَحُوْنَ
Innaa ja'alnaa fii a'naaqihim aghlaalan fahiya ilal adzqaani fahum muqmahuun(a)
We have put fetters around their necks which reach up to their chins so that they are standing with their heads upright,
وَجَعَلْنَا مِنْۢ بَيْنِ اَيْدِيْهِمْ سَدًّا وَّمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ سَدًّا فَاَغْشَيْنٰهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُبْصِرُوْنَ
Waja'alnaa min baini aidiihim saddan wamin khalfihim saddan fa-aghsyainaahum fahum laa yubshiruun(a)
and We have put a barrier before them and a barrier behind them, and have covered them up, so they are unable to see.
وَسَوَاۤءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَاَنْذَرْتَهُمْ اَمْ لَمْ تُنْذِرْهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ
Wasawaa-un 'alaihim aandzartahum am lam tundzirhum laa yu'minuun(a)
It is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them for they shall not believe.
اِنَّمَا تُنْذِرُ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الذِّكْرَ وَخَشِيَ الرَّحْمٰنَ بِالْغَيْبِۚ فَبَشِّرْهُ بِمَغْفِرَةٍ وَّاَجْرٍ كَرِيْمٍ
Innamaa tundziru maniittaba'adz-dzikra wakhasyiyar-rahmana bil ghaibi fabasy-syirhu bimaghfiratin wa-ajrin kariimin
You can warn only him who follows the Admonition and fears the Merciful Lord without seeing Him. Give such a one good tidings of forgiveness and a generous reward.
اِنَّا نَحْنُ نُحْيِ الْمَوْتٰى وَنَكْتُبُ مَا قَدَّمُوْا وَاٰثَارَهُمْۗ وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ اَحْصَيْنٰهُ فِيْٓ اِمَامٍ مُّبِيْنٍ ࣖ
Innaa nahnu nuhyiil mauta wanaktubu maa qaddamuu waaatsaarahum wakulla syai-in ahshainaahu fii imaamin mubiinin
We shall surely raise the dead to life and We record what they did and the traces of their deeds that they have left behind. We have encompassed that in a Clear Book.
وَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ مَّثَلًا اَصْحٰبَ الْقَرْيَةِۘ اِذْ جَاۤءَهَا الْمُرْسَلُوْنَۚ
Waadhrib lahum matsalaa ashhaabal qaryati idz jaa-ahaal mursaluun(a)
Recite to them, as a case in point, the story of the people of the town when the Messengers came to them.
اِذْ اَرْسَلْنَآ اِلَيْهِمُ اثْنَيْنِ فَكَذَّبُوْهُمَا فَعَزَّزْنَا بِثَالِثٍ فَقَالُوْٓا اِنَّآ اِلَيْكُمْ مُّرْسَلُوْنَ
Idz arsalnaa ilaihimuutsnaini fakadz-dzabuuhumaa fa'azzaznaa bitsaalitsin faqaaluuu innaa ilaikum mursaluun(a)
We sent to them two Messengers and they rejected both of them as liars. Then We strengthened them with a third (Messenger).
قَالُوْا مَآ اَنْتُمْ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَاۙ وَمَآ اَنْزَلَ الرَّحْمٰنُ مِنْ شَيْءٍۙ اِنْ اَنْتُمْ اِلَّا تَكْذِبُوْنَ
Qaaluuu maa antum ilaa basyarun mitslunaa wamaa anzalar-rahmanu min syai-in in antum ilaa takdzibuun(a)
They said: “We have been sent to you as Messengers.” The people of the town said: “You are only human beings like ourselves, and the Merciful Lord has revealed nothing. You are simply lying.”
قَالُوْا رَبُّنَا يَعْلَمُ اِنَّآ اِلَيْكُمْ لَمُرْسَلُوْنَ
Qaaluuu rabbunaa ya'lamu innaa ilaikum lamursaluun(a)
The Messengers said: “Our Lord knows that we have indeed been sent to you
وَمَا عَلَيْنَآ اِلَّا الْبَلٰغُ الْمُبِيْنُ
Wamaa 'alainaa ilaal balaaghul mubiin(u)
and our duty is no more than to clearly convey the Message.”
قَالُوْٓا اِنَّا تَطَيَّرْنَا بِكُمْۚ لَىِٕنْ لَّمْ تَنْتَهُوْا لَنَرْجُمَنَّكُمْ وَلَيَمَسَّنَّكُمْ مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ
Qaaluuu innaa tathai-yarnaa bikum la-in lam tantahuu lanarjumannakum walayamassannakum minnaa 'adzaabun aliimun
The people of the town said: “We believe you are an evil omen for us. If you do not desist, we will stone you or you will receive a grievous chastisement from us.”
قَالُوْا طَاۤىِٕرُكُمْ مَّعَكُمْۗ اَىِٕنْ ذُكِّرْتُمْۗ بَلْ اَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّسْرِفُوْنَ
Qaaluuu thaa-irukum ma'akum a-in dzukkirtum bal antum qaumun musrifuun(a)
The Messengers replied: “Your evil omen is with you. (Are you saying this) because you were asked to take heed? The truth is that you are a people who have exceeded all bounds.”
وَجَاۤءَ مِنْ اَقْصَا الْمَدِيْنَةِ رَجُلٌ يَّسْعٰى قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اتَّبِعُوا الْمُرْسَلِيْنَۙ
Wajaa-a min aqshal madiinati rajulun yas'a qaala yaa qaumiittabi'uul mursaliin(a)
In the meantime a man came running from the far end of the town, saying: “My people, follow the Messengers;
اتَّبِعُوْا مَنْ لَّا يَسْـَٔلُكُمْ اَجْرًا وَّهُمْ مُّهْتَدُوْنَ ۔
Attabi'uu man laa yasalukum ajran wahum muhtaduun(a)
follow those who do not ask any recompense from you and are rightly-guided.
وَمَا لِيَ لَآ اَعْبُدُ الَّذِيْ فَطَرَنِيْ وَاِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ
Wamaa liya laa a'budul-ladzii fatharanii wa-ilaihi turja'uun(a)
Why should I not serve the One Who created me and to Whom all of you shall be sent back?
ءَاَتَّخِذُ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖٓ اٰلِهَةً اِنْ يُّرِدْنِ الرَّحْمٰنُ بِضُرٍّ لَّا تُغْنِ عَنِّيْ شَفَاعَتُهُمْ شَيْـًٔا وَّلَا يُنْقِذُوْنِۚ
Aattakhidzu min duunihi aalihatan in yuridnir-rahmanu bidhurrin laa tughni 'annii syafaa'atuhum syai-an walaa yunqidzuun(i)
What! Shall I take any deities apart from Him whose intercession will not avail me the least were the Merciful One to bring any adversity upon me, nor will they be able to rescue me?
اِنِّيْٓ اِذًا لَّفِيْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيْنٍ
Innii idzan lafii dhalalin mubiinin
Surely in that case I should indeed be in evident error.
اِنِّيْٓ اٰمَنْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ فَاسْمَعُوْنِۗ
Innii aamantu birabbikum faasma'uun(i)
I believe in your Lord; so listen to me.”
قِيْلَ ادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ ۗقَالَ يٰلَيْتَ قَوْمِيْ يَعْلَمُوْنَۙ
Qiilaadkhulil jannata qaala yaa laita qaumii ya'lamuun(a)
(Eventually they killed him and he was told): “Enter Paradise.” The man exclaimed: “Would that my people knew
بِمَا غَفَرَ لِيْ رَبِّيْ وَجَعَلَنِيْ مِنَ الْمُكْرَمِيْنَ
Bimaa ghafara lii rabbii waja'alanii minal mukramiin(a)
for what reason Allah has forgiven me and placed me among the honoured ones.”
۞ وَمَآ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلٰى قَوْمِهٖ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهٖ مِنْ جُنْدٍ مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ وَمَا كُنَّا مُنْزِلِيْنَ
Wamaa anzalnaa 'ala qaumihi min ba'dihi min jundin minassamaa-i wamaa kunnaa munziliin(a)
After him, We did not send down any hosts from the heaven; We stood in no need to send down any host.
اِنْ كَانَتْ اِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَّاحِدَةً فَاِذَا هُمْ خَامِدُوْنَ
In kaanat ilaa shaihatan waahidatan fa-idzaa hum khaamiduun(a)
There was but a single Blast and suddenly they became silent and still.
يٰحَسْرَةً عَلَى الْعِبَادِۚ مَا يَأْتِيْهِمْ مِّنْ رَّسُوْلٍ اِلَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ يَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ
Yaa hasratan 'alal 'ibaadi maa ya'tiihim min rasuulin ilaa kaanuu bihi yastahzi-uun(a)
Alas for My servants! Never does a Messenger come to them but they mock him.
اَلَمْ يَرَوْا كَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنَ الْقُرُوْنِ اَنَّهُمْ اِلَيْهِمْ لَا يَرْجِعُوْنَ
Alam yarau kam ahlaknaa qablahum minal quruuni annahum ilaihim laa yarji'uun(a)
Have they not seen how many nations before them did We destroy? Thereafter they never came back to them.
وَاِنْ كُلٌّ لَّمَّا جَمِيْعٌ لَّدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُوْنَ ࣖ
Wa-in kullun lammaa jamii'un ladainaa muhdharuun(a)
All of them shall (one day) be gathered before Us.
وَاٰيَةٌ لَّهُمُ الْاَرْضُ الْمَيْتَةُ ۖاَحْيَيْنٰهَا وَاَخْرَجْنَا مِنْهَا حَبًّا فَمِنْهُ يَأْكُلُوْنَ
Waaayatun lahumul ardhul maitatu ahyainaahaa wa-akhrajnaa minhaa habban faminhu ya'kuluun(a)
Let the dead earth be a Sign for them. We gave it life and produced from it grain whereof they eat.
وَجَعَلْنَا فِيْهَا جَنّٰتٍ مِّنْ نَّخِيْلٍ وَّاَعْنَابٍ وَّفَجَّرْنَا فِيْهَا مِنَ الْعُيُوْنِۙ
Waja'alnaa fiihaa jannaatin min nakhiilin wa-a'naabin wafajjarnaa fiihaa minal 'uyuun(i)
We made in it gardens of date-palms and vines, and We caused springs to gush forth
لِيَأْكُلُوْا مِنْ ثَمَرِهٖۙ وَمَا عَمِلَتْهُ اَيْدِيْهِمْ ۗ اَفَلَا يَشْكُرُوْنَ
Liya'kuluu min tsamarihi wamaa 'amilathu aidiihim afalaa yasykuruun(a)
that they might eat of its fruits. It was not their hands that made them. Will they not, then, give thanks?
سُبْحٰنَ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ الْاَزْوَاجَ كُلَّهَا مِمَّا تُنْۢبِتُ الْاَرْضُ وَمِنْ اَنْفُسِهِمْ وَمِمَّا لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ
Subhaanal-ladzii khalaqal azwaaja kullahaa mimmaa tunbitul ardhu wamin anfusihim wamimmaa laa ya'lamuun(a)
Holy is He Who created all things in pairs, whether it be of what the earth produces, and of themselves, and of what they do not know.
وَاٰيَةٌ لَّهُمُ الَّيْلُ ۖنَسْلَخُ مِنْهُ النَّهَارَ فَاِذَا هُمْ مُّظْلِمُوْنَۙ
Waaayatun lahumullailu naslakhu minhunnahaara fa-idzaa hum muzhlimuun(a)
And the night is another Sign for them. We strip the day from it and they become plunged in darkness.
وَالشَّمْسُ تَجْرِيْ لِمُسْتَقَرٍّ لَّهَا ۗذٰلِكَ تَقْدِيْرُ الْعَزِيْزِ الْعَلِيْمِۗ
Wasy-syamsu tajrii limustaqarrin llahaa dzalika taqdiirul 'aziizil 'aliim(i)
The sun is running its course to its appointed place. That is the ordaining of the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing.
وَالْقَمَرَ قَدَّرْنٰهُ مَنَازِلَ حَتّٰى عَادَ كَالْعُرْجُوْنِ الْقَدِيْمِ
Wal qamara qaddarnaahu manaazila hatta 'aada kal 'urjuunil qadiim(i)
We have appointed stages for the moon till it returns in the shape of a dry old branch of palm-tree.
لَا الشَّمْسُ يَنْۢبَغِيْ لَهَآ اَنْ تُدْرِكَ الْقَمَرَ وَلَا الَّيْلُ سَابِقُ النَّهَارِ ۗوَكُلٌّ فِيْ فَلَكٍ يَّسْبَحُوْنَ
Laasy-syamsu yanbaghii lahaa an tudrikal qamara walaallailu saabiqunnahaari wakullun fii falakin yasbahuun(a)
Neither does it lie in the sun's power to overtake the moon nor can the night outstrip the day. All glide along, each in its own orbit.
وَاٰيَةٌ لَّهُمْ اَنَّا حَمَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ فِى الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُوْنِۙ
Waaayatun lahum annaa hamalnaa dzurrii-yatahum fiil fulkil masyhuun(i)
Another Sign for them is that We carried all their offspring in the laden vessel
وَخَلَقْنَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ مِّثْلِهٖ مَا يَرْكَبُوْنَ
Wakhalaqnaa lahum min mitslihi maa yarkabuun(a)
and then created for them other vessels like those on which they ride.
وَاِنْ نَّشَأْ نُغْرِقْهُمْ فَلَا صَرِيْخَ لَهُمْ وَلَاهُمْ يُنْقَذُوْنَۙ
Wa-in nasya' nughriqhum falaa shariikha lahum walaa hum yunqadzuun(a)
Should We so wish, We can drown them, and there will be none to heed their cries of distress, nor will they be rescued.
اِلَّا رَحْمَةً مِّنَّا وَمَتَاعًا اِلٰى حِيْنٍ
Ilaa rahmatan minnaa wamataa'an ila hiinin
It is only Our Mercy (that rescues them) and enables enjoyment of life for a while.
وَاِذَا قِيْلَ لَهُمُ اتَّقُوْا مَا بَيْنَ اَيْدِيْكُمْ وَمَا خَلْفَكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُوْنَ
Wa-idzaa qiila lahumuuttaquu maa baina aidiikum wamaa khalfakum la'allakum turhamuun(a)
When it is said to such people: “Guard yourselves against what is ahead of you and what has preceded you that mercy be shown to you” (they pay scant heed to it).
وَمَا تَأْتِيْهِمْ مِّنْ اٰيَةٍ مِّنْ اٰيٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ اِلَّا كَانُوْا عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِيْنَ
Wamaa ta'tiihim min aayatin min aayaati rabbihim ilaa kaanuu 'anhaa mu'ridhiin(a)
Never does any Sign of their Lord come to them, but they turn away from it.
وَاِذَا قِيْلَ لَهُمْ اَنْفِقُوْا مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللّٰهُ ۙقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لِلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اَنُطْعِمُ مَنْ لَّوْ يَشَاۤءُ اللّٰهُ اَطْعَمَهٗٓ ۖاِنْ اَنْتُمْ اِلَّا فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيْنٍ
Wa-idzaa qiila lahum anfiquu mimmaa razaqakumullahu qaalal-ladziina kafaruu lil-ladziina aamanuu anuth'imu man lau yasyaa-ullahu ath'amahu in antum ilaa fii dhalalin mubiinin
And when it is said to them: “Spend (in the Way of Allah) out of the sustenance that Allah has provided you,” the unbelievers say to the believers: “Shall we feed him whom, Allah would have fed, had He so wished?” Say: “You are in evident error.”
وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰى هٰذَا الْوَعْدُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ
Wayaquuluuna mata hadzaal wa'du in kuntum shaadiqiin(a)
They say: “When will this threat (of Resurrection) come to pass? Tell us if indeed you are truthful.”
مَا يَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَّاحِدَةً تَأْخُذُهُمْ وَهُمْ يَخِصِّمُوْنَ
Maa yanzhuruuna ilaa shaihatan waahidatan ta'khudzuhum wahum yakhish-shimuun(a)
The Truth is that they are waiting for nothing but a mighty Blast to seize them the while they are disputing (in their worldly affairs),
فَلَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ تَوْصِيَةً وَّلَآ اِلٰٓى اَهْلِهِمْ يَرْجِعُوْنَ ࣖ
Falaa yastathii'uuna taushiyatan walaa ila ahlihim yarji'uun(a)
and they will not even be able to make a testament, nor to return to their households.
وَنُفِخَ فِى الصُّوْرِ فَاِذَا هُمْ مِّنَ الْاَجْدَاثِ اِلٰى رَبِّهِمْ يَنْسِلُوْنَ
Wanufikha fiish-shuuri fa-idzaa hum minal ajdaatsi ila rabbihim yansiluun(a)
Then the Trumpet shall be blown and lo! they will come out of their graves and be on the move towards their Lord,
قَالُوْا يٰوَيْلَنَا مَنْۢ بَعَثَنَا مِنْ مَّرْقَدِنَا ۜهٰذَا مَا وَعَدَ الرَّحْمٰنُ وَصَدَقَ الْمُرْسَلُوْنَ
Qaaluuu yaa wailanaa man ba'atsanaa min marqadinaa hadzaa maa wa'adar-rahmanu washadaqal mursaluun(a)
(nervously) exclaiming. “Alas for us! Who roused us out of our sleeping-place?” “This is what the Merciful One had promised, and what (His) Messengers had said was true.”
اِنْ كَانَتْ اِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَّاحِدَةً فَاِذَا هُمْ جَمِيْعٌ لَّدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُوْنَ
In kaanat ilaa shaihatan waahidatan fa-idzaa hum jamii'un ladainaa muhdharuun(a)
Then there will simply be one single Blast, and all will have gathered before Us.
فَالْيَوْمَ لَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْـًٔا وَّلَا تُجْزَوْنَ اِلَّا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ
Fal yauma laa tuzhlamu nafsun syai-an walaa tujzauna ilaa maa kuntum ta'maluun(a)
Today no one shall suffer the least injustice, and you shall not be recompensed except according to your deeds.
اِنَّ اَصْحٰبَ الْجَنَّةِ الْيَوْمَ فِيْ شُغُلٍ فٰكِهُوْنَ ۚ
Inna ashhaabal jannatil yauma fii syughulin faakihuun(a)
Indeed, the people of Paradise will be busy enjoying themselves:
هُمْ وَاَزْوَاجُهُمْ فِيْ ظِلٰلٍ عَلَى الْاَرَاۤىِٕكِ مُتَّكِـُٔوْنَ ۚ
Hum wa-azwaajuhum fii zhilalin 'alal araa-iki muttaki-uun(a)
they and their spouses shall be reclining on their couches in shady groves;
لَهُمْ فِيْهَا فَاكِهَةٌ وَّلَهُمْ مَّا يَدَّعُوْنَ ۚ
Lahum fiihaa faakihatun walahum maa yadda'uun(a)
therein there will be all kinds of fruits to eat, and they shall have all that they desire.
سَلٰمٌۗ قَوْلًا مِّنْ رَّبٍّ رَّحِيْمٍ
Salaamun qaulaa min rabbin rahiimin
“Peace” shall be the word conveyed to them from their Merciful Lord.
وَامْتَازُوا الْيَوْمَ اَيُّهَا الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ
Waamtaazuul yauma ai-yuhaal mujrimuun(a)
“Criminals, separate yourselves from others today!
اَلَمْ اَعْهَدْ اِلَيْكُمْ يٰبَنِيْٓ اٰدَمَ اَنْ لَّا تَعْبُدُوا الشَّيْطٰنَۚ اِنَّهٗ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِيْنٌ
Alam a'had ilaikum yaa banii aadama an laa ta'buduusy-syaithaana innahu lakum 'aduu-wun mubiinun
Children of Adam, did I not command you not to serve Satan -- he is to you an open enemy
وَاَنِ اعْبُدُوْنِيْ ۗهٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِيْمٌ
Wa-anii'buduunii hadzaa shiraathun mustaqiimun
and serve Me alone: this is the Straight Way?
وَلَقَدْ اَضَلَّ مِنْكُمْ جِبِلًّا كَثِيْرًا ۗاَفَلَمْ تَكُوْنُوْا تَعْقِلُوْنَ
Walaqad adhalla minkum jibilaa katsiiran afalam takuunuu ta'qiluun(a)
Still, he misguided a whole throng of you. Did you have no sense?
هٰذِهٖ جَهَنَّمُ الَّتِيْ كُنْتُمْ تُوْعَدُوْنَ
Hadzihi jahannamullatii kuntum tuu'aduun(a)
Now this is the Hell of which you were warned.
اِصْلَوْهَا الْيَوْمَ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْفُرُوْنَ
Ashlauhaal yauma bimaa kuntum takfuruun(a)
Burn in it on account of your disbelieving.
اَلْيَوْمَ نَخْتِمُ عَلٰٓى اَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَتُكَلِّمُنَآ اَيْدِيْهِمْ وَتَشْهَدُ اَرْجُلُهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَكْسِبُوْنَ
Al-yauma nakhtimu 'ala afwaahihim watukallimunaa aidiihim watasyhadu arjuluhum bimaa kaanuu yaksibuun(a)
Today We shall put a seal on their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us and their feet shall bear witness to what they had been doing.
وَلَوْ نَشَاۤءُ لَطَمَسْنَا عَلٰٓى اَعْيُنِهِمْ فَاسْتَبَقُوا الصِّرَاطَ فَاَنّٰى يُبْصِرُوْنَ
Walau nasyaa-u lathamasnaa 'ala a'yunihim faastabaquush-shiraatha fa-anna yubshiruun(a)
If We so willed, We would have put out their eyes, then they would rush to see the Way, but how would they be able to see?
وَلَوْ نَشَاۤءُ لَمَسَخْنٰهُمْ عَلٰى مَكَانَتِهِمْ فَمَا اسْتَطَاعُوْا مُضِيًّا وَّلَا يَرْجِعُوْنَ ࣖ
Walau nasyaa-u lamasakhnaahum 'ala makaanatihim famaaastathaa'uu mudhii-yan walaa yarji'uun(a)
If We so willed, We would have transformed them where they were so that they would not go forward or backward.
وَمَنْ نُّعَمِّرْهُ نُنَكِّسْهُ فِى الْخَلْقِۗ اَفَلَا يَعْقِلُوْنَ
Waman nu'ammirhu nunakkishu fiil khalqi afalaa ya'qiluun(a)
Whomsoever We grant a long life, We reverse him in his constitution. Do they still not understand?
وَمَا عَلَّمْنٰهُ الشِّعْرَ وَمَا يَنْۢبَغِيْ لَهٗ ۗاِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا ذِكْرٌ وَّقُرْاٰنٌ مُّبِيْنٌ ۙ
Wamaa 'allamnaahusy-syi'ra wamaa yanbaghii lahu in huwa ilaa dzikrun waquraanun mubiinun
We did not teach him (to wit, the Messenger) poetry and it does not behove him. This is none but an Admonition, and a Clear Book
لِّيُنْذِرَ مَنْ كَانَ حَيًّا وَّيَحِقَّ الْقَوْلُ عَلَى الْكٰفِرِيْنَ
Liyundzira man kaana hai-yan wayahiqqal qaulu 'alal kaafiriin(a)
that he may warn him who is alive and establish an argument against those that deny the Truth.
اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اَنَّا خَلَقْنَا لَهُمْ مِّمَّا عَمِلَتْ اَيْدِيْنَآ اَنْعَامًا فَهُمْ لَهَا مَالِكُوْنَ
Awalam yarau annaa khalaqnaa lahum mimmaa 'amilat aidiinaa an'aaman fahum lahaa maalikuun(a)
Do they not see Our handiwork: We created for them cattle which they own?
وَذَلَّلْنٰهَا لَهُمْ فَمِنْهَا رَكُوْبُهُمْ وَمِنْهَا يَأْكُلُوْنَ
Wadzallalnaahaa lahum faminhaa rakuubuhum waminhaa ya'kuluun(a)
We have subjected the cattle to them so that some of them they ride and eat the flesh of others.
وَلَهُمْ فِيْهَا مَنَافِعُ وَمَشَارِبُۗ اَفَلَا يَشْكُرُوْنَ
Walahum fiihaa manaafi'u wamasyaaribu afalaa yasykuruun(a)
They derive a variety of benefits and drinks from them. Will they, then, not give thanks?
وَاتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اٰلِهَةً لَّعَلَّهُمْ يُنْصَرُوْنَ ۗ
Wa-attakhadzuu min duunillahi aalihatan la'allahum yunsharuun(a)
They set up deities apart from Allah, hoping that they will receive help from them.
لَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ نَصْرَهُمْۙ وَهُمْ لَهُمْ جُنْدٌ مُّحْضَرُوْنَ
Laa yastathii'uuna nashrahum wahum lahum jundun muhdharuun(a)
Those deities can render them no help. Yet these devotees act as though they were an army in waiting for them.
فَلَا يَحْزُنْكَ قَوْلُهُمْ ۘاِنَّا نَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّوْنَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُوْنَ
Falaa yahzunka qauluhum innaa na'lamu maa yusirruuna wamaa yu'linuun(a)
Let not their words grieve you. Surely We know all things about them, what they conceal and what they reveal.
اَوَلَمْ يَرَ الْاِنْسَانُ اَنَّا خَلَقْنٰهُ مِنْ نُّطْفَةٍ فَاِذَا هُوَ خَصِيْمٌ مُّبِيْنٌ
Awalam yara-insaanu annaa khalaqnaahu min nuthfatin fa-idzaa huwa khashiimun mubiinun
Does man not see that We created him of a sperm drop, and lo! he is flagrantly contentious?
وَضَرَبَ لَنَا مَثَلًا وَّنَسِيَ خَلْقَهٗۗ قَالَ مَنْ يُّحْيِ الْعِظَامَ وَهِيَ رَمِيْمٌ
Wadharaba lanaa matsalaa wanasiya khalqahu qaala man yuhyiil 'izhaama wahiya ramiimun
He strikes for Us a similitude and forgot his own creation. He says: “Who will quicken the bones when they have decayed?”
قُلْ يُحْيِيْهَا الَّذِيْٓ اَنْشَاَهَآ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ ۗوَهُوَ بِكُلِّ خَلْقٍ عَلِيْمٌ ۙ
Qul yuhyiihaal-ladzii ansyaahaa au-wala marratin wahuwa bikulli khalqin 'aliimun
Say: “He Who first brought them into being will quicken them; He knows well about every kind of creation;
ِۨالَّذِيْ جَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِّنَ الشَّجَرِ الْاَخْضَرِ نَارًاۙ فَاِذَآ اَنْتُمْ مِّنْهُ تُوْقِدُوْنَ
Al-ladzii ja'ala lakum minasy-syajaril akhdhari naaran fa-idzaa antum minhu tuuqiduun(a)
He Who created from a green tree a fire for you, a fire to light your stoves with.”
اَوَلَيْسَ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ بِقٰدِرٍ عَلٰٓى اَنْ يَّخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُمْ ۗبَلٰى وَهُوَ الْخَلّٰقُ الْعَلِيْمُ
Awalaisal-ladzii khalaqas-samaawaati wal ardha biqaadirin 'ala an yakhluqa mitslahum bala wahuwal khalaaqul 'aliim(u)
Has He Who created the heavens and the earth no power to create the likes of them? Yes, indeed, He is the Superb Creator.
اِنَّمَآ اَمْرُهٗٓ اِذَآ اَرَادَ شَيْـًٔاۖ اَنْ يَّقُوْلَ لَهٗ كُنْ فَيَكُوْنُ
Innamaa amruhu idzaa araada syai-an an yaquula lahu kun fayakuun(u)
Whenever He wills a thing, He just commands it “Be” and it is.
فَسُبْحٰنَ الَّذِيْ بِيَدِهٖ مَلَكُوْتُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَّاِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ ࣖ
