Ya-Seen
إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ الْجَنَّةِ الْيَوْمَ فِي شُغُلٍ فَاكِهُونَ55
The people of Paradise today are happily occupied
هُمْ وَأَزْوَاجُهُمْ فِي ظِلَالٍ عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ مُتَّكِئُونَ56
they and their spouses- seated on couches in the shade
لَهُمْ فِيهَا فَاكِهَةٌ وَلَهُمْ مَا يَدَّعُونَ57
There they have fruit and whatever they ask for
سَلَامٌ قَوْلًا مِنْ رَبٍّ رَحِيمٍ58
“Peace,” a word from the Lord of Mercy
وَامْتَازُوا الْيَوْمَ أَيُّهَا الْمُجْرِمُونَ59
But step aside today, you guilty ones
أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يَا بَنِي آدَمَ أَنْ لَا تَعْبُدُوا الشَّيْطَانَ ۖ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُبِينٌ60
Children of Adam, did I not command you not to serve Satan, for he was your sworn enemy
وَأَنِ اعْبُدُونِي ۚ هَـٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُسْتَقِيمٌ61
but to serve Me? This is the straight path
وَلَقَدْ أَضَلَّ مِنْكُمْ جِبِلًّا كَثِيرًا ۖ أَفَلَمْ تَكُونُوا تَعْقِلُونَ62
He has led great numbers of you astray. Did you not use your reason
هَـٰذِهِ جَهَنَّمُ الَّتِي كُنْتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ63
So this is the Fire that you were warned against
اصْلَوْهَا الْيَوْمَ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ64
Enter it today, because you went on ignoring [my commands].’
الْيَوْمَ نَخْتِمُ عَلَىٰ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَتُكَلِّمُنَا أَيْدِيهِمْ وَتَشْهَدُ أَرْجُلُهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ65
On that Day We shall seal up their mouths, but their hands will speak to Us, and their feet bear witness to everything they have done
وَلَوْ نَشَاءُ لَطَمَسْنَا عَلَىٰ أَعْيُنِهِمْ فَاسْتَبَقُوا الصِّرَاطَ فَأَنَّىٰ يُبْصِرُونَ66
If it had been Our will, We could have taken away their sight. They would have struggled to find the way, but how could they have seen it
وَلَوْ نَشَاءُ لَمَسَخْنَاهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِهِمْ فَمَا اسْتَطَاعُوا مُضِيًّا وَلَا يَرْجِعُونَ67
If it had been Our will, We could have paralysed them where they stood, so that they could not move forward or backward
وَمَنْ نُعَمِّرْهُ نُنَكِّسْهُ فِي الْخَلْقِ ۖ أَفَلَا يَعْقِلُونَ68
If We extend anyone’s life, We reverse his development. Do they not use their reason
وَمَا عَلَّمْنَاهُ الشِّعْرَ وَمَا يَنْبَغِي لَهُ ۚ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ وَقُرْآنٌ مُبِينٌ69
We have not taught the Prophet poetry, nor could he everhave been a poet
لِيُنْذِرَ مَنْ كَانَ حَيًّا وَيَحِقَّ الْقَوْلُ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ70
This is a revelation, an illuminating Quran to warn anyone who is truly alive, so that God’s verdict may be passed against the disbelievers
