Ya-Sin (These are the names of litters of the Arabic alphabet, and only Allah knows their meaning here).
2
And by the Ever-Wise Qur'an.
3
Surely you are indeed of the Emissaries.
5
(This is) the successive sending down of The Ever-Mighty, The Ever-Merciful,
6
That you may warn a people; In no way were their fathers warned, so they are heedless.
7
Indeed the Saying has already come true against most of them, so they do not believe.
8
Surely We have made on their necks shackles, so they are up to the chins, so they are stiff-necked.
9
And We have made before them (Literally: between their hands) a barrier and behind them a barrier, then We enveloped them, so they do not behold (the Truth).
10
And it is equal to them whether you have warned them or you have not warned them, they do not believe.
11
Surely you only warn him who closely follows the Remembrance and is apprehensive of The All-Merciful in the Unseen. So give him the good tidings of forgiveness and an honorable reward.
12
Surely We, Ever We, give life to the dead and write down what they have forwarded and their tracks; and everything We have enumerated in an evident Record.
13
And strike for them a similitude: the companions (i.e., the inhabitants) of the town, as the Emissaries came to it,
14
As We sent to them two (men). Yet they cried them lies, so We reinforced them with a third. Then they said, "Surely we are (sent) to you as Emissaries."
15
They said, "In no way are you anything except mortals like us; and in no way has The All-Merciful sent down anything; decidedly you do nothing except lie."
16
They said, "Our Lord knows that surely we are indeed Emissaries to you.
17
And in no way is there anything (incumbent) on us except the evident Proclamation."
18
They said, "Surely we augur ill of you. Indeed in case you do not give over, indeed we will definitely stone you, and indeed there will definitely touch you from us a painful torment."
19
They said, "Your bird (of augury) is with you; is it so, in case you are reminded? (i.e., Do you call it an evil omen that we remind you?) No indeed, (but) you are an extravagant people."
20
And (there) came from the remotest part of the city a man going speedily. He said, "O my people, closely follow the Emissaries!
21
Closely follow (the ones) who ask of you no reward, and they are rightly-guided.
22
And for what should I not worship Him who originated me, and to Him you will be returned?
23
Shall I take to myself, apart from Him, gods whose intercession, in case The All-Merciful wills any adversity to me, will not avail me anything, nor will they rescue me?
24
Lo, surely (in that case) I should indeed be in evident error.
25
Surely I believe in your Lord, so hear me!"
26
It was said, "Enter the Garden!" He said, " Oh, would that my people knew.
27
With what (Grace) my Lord has forgiven me, and He has made me among the honored."
28
And in no way did We send down upon his people, even after him, any host from the heaven; and in no way were We sending any down.
29
Decidedly it was nothing except one Shout; then, only then, were they (utterly) extinct.
30
Oh for the regrets of the bondmen! In no way does a Messenger come up to them except that they used to mock at him.
