Ya Sin
Translation 1260
Ya Sin
Translation 1260
By the wise Quran
Translation 1260
you [Muhammad] are truly one of the mes-sengers sent
Translation 1260
on a straight path
Translation 1260
with a revelation from the Almighty, the Lord of Mercy
Translation 1260
to warn a people whose forefathers were not warned, and so they are unaware
Translation 1260
The verdict has been passed against most of them, for they refuse to believe
Translation 1260
[It is as if] We had placed [iron] collars around their necks, right up to their chins so that their heads are forced up
Translation 1260
and set barriers before and behind them, blocking their vision: they cannot see
Translation 1260
It is all the same to them whether you warn them or not: they will not believe
Translation 1260
You can warn only those who will follow the Quran and hold the Merciful One in awe, though they cannot see Him: give such people the glad news of forgiveness and a noble reward
Translation 1260
We shall certainly bring the dead back to life, and We record what they send ahead of them as well as what they leave behind: We keep an account of everything in a clear Record
Translation 1260
Give them the example of the people to whose town messengers came
Translation 1260
We sent two messengers but they rejected both. Then We reinforced them with a third
Translation 1260
They said, ‘Truly, we are messengers to you,’
Translation 1260
but they answered, ‘You are only men like ourselves. The Lord of Mercy has sent nothing; you are just lying.’ They said, ‘Our Lord knows that we have been sent to you
Translation 1260
Our duty is only to deliver the message to you,’
Translation 1260
but they answered, ‘We think you are an evil omen. If you do not stop, we shall stone you, and inflict a painful torment on you.’
Translation 1260
The messengers said, ‘The evil omen is within yourselves. Why do you take it as an evil omen when you are reminded of the Truth? You are going too far!’
Translation 1260
Then, from the furthest part of the city, a man came running. He said, ‘My people, follow the messengers
Translation 1260
Follow them: they are not asking you to reward them and they are rightly guided
Translation 1260
Why should I not worship the One who created me? It is to Him that you will be returned
Translation 1260
How could I take besides Him any other gods, whose intercession will not help me and who would not be able to save me if the Lord of Mercy wished to harm me
Translation 1260
Then I would clearly be in the wrong
Translation 1260
I believe in your Lord, so listen to me.’
