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

1-Ya-Sin 2-By the Qur'an, Full of Wisdom, 3-Thou art indeed one of the Messengers, 4-On a Straight Way. 5-It is a Revelation sent down by (Him), the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful, 6-In order that thou mayest admonish a people, whose fathers had received no admonition, and who therefore remain heedless (of the Signs of Allah). 7-The word is proved true against the greater part of them; for they do not believe. 8-We have put yokes round their necks right up to their chins, so that their heads are forced up (and they cannot see). 9-And We have put a bar in front of them and a bar behind them, and further, We have covered them up; so that they cannot see. 10-The same is it to them whether thou admonish them or thou do not admonish them: they will not believe. 11-Thou canst but admonish such a one as follows the Message and fears the (Lord) Most Gracious, unseen: give such a one, therefore, good tidings, of Forgiveness and a Reward most generous. 12-Verily We shall give life to the dead, and We record that which they sent before and that which they have behind, and of all things have We taken account in a clear Book (of evidence). 13-Set forth to them, by way of a parable, the (story of) the Companions of the City. Behold, there came Messengers to it. 14-When We (first) sent to them two Messengers, they rejected them: but We strengthened them with a third: they said, "Truly, we have been sent on a mission to you." 15-The (people) said: "Ye are only men like ourselves; and (Allah) Most Gracious sends no sort of revelation: ye do nothing but lie." 16-They said: "Our Lord doth know that we have been sent on a mission to you: 17-"And our duty is only to proclaim the clear Message." 18-The (people) said: "For us, we augur an evil omen from you: if ye desist not, we will certainly stone you, and a grievous punishment indeed will be inflicted on you by us." 19-They said: "Your evil omens are with yourselves: (deem ye this an evil omen), if ye are admonished? Nay, but ye are a people transgressing all bounds!" 20-Then there came running, from the farthest part of the city, a man, saying, "O my people! obey the messengers: 21-"Obey those who ask no reward of you (for themselves), and who have themselves received Guidance. 22-"It would not be reasonable in me if I did not serve Him Who created me, and to Whom ye shall (all) be brought back. 23-"Shall I take (other) gods besides Him? If (Allah) Most Gracious should intend some adversity for me, of no use whatever will be their intercession for me, nor can they deliver me. 24-"I would indeed, if I were to do so, be in manifest Error. 25-"For me, I have Faith in the Lord of you (all): listen, then, to me!" 26-It was said: "Enter thou the Garden." He said: "Ah me! would that my People know (what I know)! 27-"For that my Lord has granted me Forgiveness and has enrolled me among those held in honour!" 28-And We sent not down against his People, after him, any hosts from heaven, nor was it needful for Us so to do. 29-It was no more than a single mighty Blast, and behold! they were (like ashes) quenched and silent. 30-Ah! alas for (My) servants! there comes not a messenger to them but they mock him! 31-See they not how many generations before them We destroyed? Not to them will they return: 32-But each one of them all, will be brought before Us (for judgment). 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-And We produce therein orchards with date-palms and vines, and We cause springs to gush forth therein: 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-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-And a Sign for them is the Night: We withdraw therefrom the Day, and behold they are plunged in darkness; 38-And the sun runs its course for a period determined for it; that is the decree of (Him), the Exalted in Might, the All-Knowing. 39-And the Moon, We have measured for it mansions (to traverse) till it returns like the old (and withered) lower part of a date-stalk. 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-And a Sign for them is that We bore their race (through the Flood) in the loaded Ark; 42-And We have created for them similar (vessels) on which they ride.
