Sūra 36: Yā-Sīn

Section 3 (33-50)


33. Waayatun lahumu al-ardu almaytatu ahyaynaha waakhrajna minha habban faminhu ya/kuloona

33. A Sign for them is the earth that is dead: We do give it life, and produce grain therefrom, of which ye do eat.


34. WajaAAalna feeha jannatin min nakheelin waaAAnabin wafajjarna feeha mina alAAuyooni

34. And We produce therein orchard with date-palms and vines, and We cause springs to gush forth therein:


35. Liya/kuloo min thamarihi wama AAamilat-hu aydeehim afala yashkuroona

35. That they may enjoy the fruits of this (artistry): It was not their hands that made this: will they not then give thanks?


36. Subhana allathee khalaqa al-azwaja kullaha mimma tunbitu al-ardu wamin anfusihim wamimma la yaAAlamoona

36. Glory to Allah, 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.


37. Waayatun lahumu allaylu naslakhu minhu alnnahara fa-itha hum muthlimoona

37. And a Sign for them is the Night: We withdraw therefrom the Day, and behold they are plunged in darkness;


38. Waalshshamsu tajree limustaqarrin laha thalika taqdeeru alAAazeezi alAAaleemi

38. And the sun runs his course for a period determined for him: that is the decree of (Him), the Exalted in Might, the All-Knowing.


39. Waalqamara qaddarnahu manazila hatta AAada kaalAAurjooni alqadeemi

39. And the Moon,- We have measured for her mansions (to traverse) till she returns like the old (and withered) lower part of a date-stalk.


40. La alshshamsu yanbaghee laha an tudrika alqamara wala allaylu sabiqu alnnahari wakullun fee falakin yasbahoona

40. It 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).


41. Waayatun lahum anna hamalna thurriyyatahum fee alfulki almashhooni

41. And a Sign for them is that We bore their race (through the Flood) in the loaded Ark;


42. Wakhalaqna lahum min mithlihi ma yarkaboona

42. And We have created for them similar (vessels) on which they ride.


43. Wa-in nasha/ nughriqhum fala sareekha lahum wala hum yunqathoona

43. If it were Our Will, We could drown them: then would there be no helper (to hear their cry), nor could they be delivered,


44. Illa rahmatan minna wamataAAan ila heenin

44. Except by way of Mercy from Us, and by way of (world) convenience (to serve them) for a time.


45. Wa-itha qeela lahumu ittaqoo ma bayna aydeekum wama khalfakum laAAallakum turhamoona

45. When 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).


46. Wama ta/teehim min ayatin min ayati rabbihim illa kanoo AAanha muAArideena

46. Not a Sign comes to them from among the Signs of their Lord, but they turn away therefrom.


47. Wa-itha qeela lahum anfiqoo mimma razaqakumu Allahu qala allatheena kafaroo lillatheena amanoo anutAAimu man law yashao Allahu atAAamahu in antum illa fee dalalin mubeenin

47. And when they are told, "Spend ye of (the bounties) with which Allah has provided you," the Unbelievers say to those who believe: "Shall we then feed those whom, if Allah had so willed, He would have fed, (Himself)?- Ye are in nothing but manifest error."


48. Wayaqooloona mata hatha alwaAAdu in kuntum sadiqeena

48. Further, they say, "When will this promise (come to pass), if what ye say is true?"


49. Ma yanthuroona illa sayhatan wahidatan ta/khuthuhum wahum yakhissimoona

49. They will not (have to) wait for aught but a single Blast: it will seize them while they are yet disputing among themselves!
