In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.



 1. Ya Seen.

 2. I swear by the Quran full of wisdom

 3. Most surely you are one of the apostles

 4. On a right way.

 S. A revelation of the Mighty, the Merciful.

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

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

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

 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.

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

 11. You can only warn him who follows the reminder and fears 
 the Beneficent God in secret; so announce to him forgiveness 
 and an honorable reward.

 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.

 13. And set out to them an example of the people of the 
 town, when the messengers came to it.

 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 messengers to you.

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

 16. They said: Our Lord knows that we are most surely 
 messengers to you.

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

 18. They said: Surely we augur evil from you; if you do not 
 desist, we will certainly stone you, and there shall 
 certainly afflict vou a painful chastisement from us.

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

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

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

 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;

 23. What! shall I take besides Him gods whose intercession, 
 If the Beneficent God should desire to afflict me with a 
 harm, shall not avail me aught, nor shall they be able to 
 deliver me?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 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.

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

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

 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.

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

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

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

 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.

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

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

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

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

 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.

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

 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.

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

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

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

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

 52. They shall say: O woe to us! who has raised us up from 
 our sleeping-place? This is what the Beneficent God promised 
 and the apostles told the truth.

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

 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.

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

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

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

 58. Peace: a word from a Merciful Lord.

 59. And get aside today, O guilty ones!

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

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

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

 63. This is the hell with which you were threatened.

 64. Enter into it this day because you disbelieved.

 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.

 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?

 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.

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

 69. And We have not taught him poetry, nor is it meet for 
 him; it is nothing but a reminder and a plain Quran,

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

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

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

 73. And therein they have advantages and drinks; will they 
 not then be grateful?

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

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

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

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

 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?

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

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

 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.

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

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