36:3
Indeed, you are surely among the messengers,
36:5
A revelation of the Mighty, the Compassionate.
36:6
That you may warn people whose forefathers were not warned, so they are heedless.
36:7
Surely, certainly, the speech is due against most of them, so they do not believe.
36:8
Indeed We, We have made in their necks fetters, and it is to the chins, so they are with heads raised up.
36:9
And We have made before them a barrier, and behind them a barrier; and We have covered them, so they do not see.
36:10
And equal on them whether you warned them or did not warn them, they do not believe.
36:11
You can only warn whoever followed the reminder, and feared the Merciful in the unseen; so give him glad tidings of forgiveness and a noble reward.
36:12
Indeed We, We give life to the dead and We write down what they have sent forward, and their traces; and everything We have numbered it in a clear book.
36:13
And strike for them a similitude: the fellows of the town, when the messengers came to it;
36:14
When We sent two to them, and they called both of them liars, then We strengthened with a third; and they said, 'Indeed, we are messengers to you.'
36:15
They said, 'You are not except mortals like us, and the Merciful has not sent down anything; you are not except lying.'
36:16
They said, 'Our Lord knows indeed we are surely messengers to you,
36:17
And not except the clear communication is upon us.’
36:18
They said, 'Indeed we, we regard you as an evil omen, surely if you do not desist, surely we will definitely stone you, and surely a painful punishment will definitely touch you from us.'
36:19
They said, 'Your omen is with you. If you are reminded? Nay, you are extravagant people.'
36:20
And a man came from the farthest part of the city, running. He said, 'O my people! Follow the messengers.
36:21
Follow who does not ask you for payment, and they are guided.
36:22
And what ails me I should not worship the one who originated me, and to Him you will be returned?
36:23
Shall I take gods besides Him? If the Merciful desires harm for me, their intercession will not avail me anything, and they will not rescue me.
36:24
Indeed, I then surely would be in clear error;
36:25
Indeed, I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me.'
36:26
It was said, 'Enter the Garden.' He said, 'O would that my people know,
36:27
For that my Lord has forgiven me, and made me among the honoured ones.'
36:28
And We sent not down upon his people after him an army from the heaven, nor were We senders.
36:29
It was not except one noise, then behold, they were extinguished.
36:30
Alas for the servants! There comes to them no messenger except they used to mock him.
36:31
Did they not see how many of the generations We destroyed before them, that they will not return to them?
36:32
And indeed, all then all together will be arraigned before Us.
36:33
And a sign for them is the dead earth. We gave it life, and We brought forth from it grain, and from it they eat.
36:34
And We made in it gardens of palms and grapes, and We made to flow forth in it of the springs,
36:35
That they may eat of its fruit; and their hands made it not; will they not then give thanks?
36:36
Glory be to the one who created the pairs, all of it, of what the earth grows, and of themselves, and of what they do not know.
36:37
And a sign for them is the night. We strip from it the day, then behold, they are in darkness.
36:38
And the sun runs to a place of settledness for it; that is the calculation of the Mighty, the Knowing.
36:39
And the moon, We have decreed phases for it, until it returned like the old palm-tree raceme.
36:40
The sun, it is not appropriate for it that it overtakes the moon, nor for the night to outstrip the day, and all are in an orbit, gliding.
36:41
And a sign for them is that We, We carried their offspring in the laden ship,
36:42
And We created for them of the like of it what they ride;
36:43
And if We will, We drown them, then no responding to them; nor are they rescued,
36:44
Except mercy from Us, and provision to a time.
36:45
And when it is said to them, 'Fear what is before you and what is behind you, perhaps you may obtain mercy.'
36:46
And no sign comes to them from the signs of their Lord, except they used to turn away from it.
36:47
And when it is said to them, 'Spend from what God has provided you.' Those who disbelieved said to those who believed, 'Shall we feed who if God wills, He would have fed him? You are not except in clear error.'
36:48
And they say, 'When is this, the promise, if you are truthful?'
36:49
They wait not except for one noise, it will seize them while they are disputing.
36:50
And they will not be able to make a will; nor will they return to their people.
36:51
And the horn will be blown in, then behold, they will ravel out from the graves to their Lord.
36:52
They will say, 'O woe to us! Who has raised us from our sleeping-place? This is what the Merciful promised, and the messengers spoke truth.'
36:53
It will not be except one noise, then behold, they are all together arraigned before Us.
36:54
So today no soul will be wronged anything, and you will not be recompensed except what you used to do.
36:55
Indeed, the fellows of the Garden, today are in occupation, enjoying;
36:56
They and their spouses, in shades on the raised couches, reclining;
36:57
For them in it is fruit, and for them is what they call for.
36:58
'Peace.' Speech from a compassionate Lord.
36:59
'And separate today, O sinners!
36:60
Did I not covenant with you, O children of Adam! That you should not serve the devil? Indeed, he is a clear enemy to you;
36:61
And that you should serve Me, this is a straight way.
36:62
And surely, certainly he caused many a nation of you to go astray; so did you not understand?
36:63
This is Hell which you were promised.
36:64
Burn in it today, because you used to disbelieve.'
36:65
Today We will set a seal upon their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will bear witness of what they used to earn.
36:66
And had We willed, surely We would have effaced their eyes, and they would have raced to the way; then how would they see?
36:67
And had We willed, surely We would have transformed them upon their position, then they would not have been able to proceed nor return.
36:68
And who We lengthen him in life, We reverse him in creation; so will they not become intelligent?
36:69
And We have not taught him poetry, nor is it appropriate for him; it is not except a reminder and a clear Quran,
36:70
To warn whoever is living; and that the speech against the disbelievers may be due.
36:71
And did they not see that We, We created for them from what Our hands have made, cattle, and they are for them masters?
36:72
And We have tamed them for them, so of them, ride them, and of them they eat.
36:73
And for them in them are benefits and drinking-places; will they not then give thanks?
36:74
And they took gods besides God, perhaps they may be helped.
36:75
They are not able to help them, while they are a present army for them.
36:76
So let not their speech grieve you; Indeed We, We know what they conceal and what they publish.
36:77
And did man not see that We, We created him from a sperm? Then behold, he is a clear opponent;
36:78
And he struck a similitude for Us, and forgot his creation; he said, 'Who will give life to the bones while they are rotten?'
36:79
Say, 'The one who produced them the first time; and He knows every creation.'
36:80
The one who made fire for you from the green tree, then behold, you kindle from it.
36:81
And is the one who created the heavens and the earth not able on that He creates the like of them? Yes, and He is the Knowing Creator;
36:82
His command is only, when he desires a thing, that He says to it, 'Be,' and it is.
36:83
So glory be to the one who in His hand is the kingdom of everything, and to Him you will be returned.
