36.1 . Ya Sin .
36.2 . By the wise Quran ,
36.3 . Lo! thou art of those sent
36.4 . On a straight path ,
36.5 . A revelation of the Mighty , the Merciful ,
36.6 . That thou mayst warn a folk whose fathers were not warned , so they are heedless .
36.7 . Already hath the word proved true of most of them , for they believe not .
36.8 . Lo! we have put on their necks carcans reaching unto the chins , so that they are made stiff necked .
36.9 . And We have set a bar before them and a bar behind them , and ( thus ) have covered them so that they see not .
36.10 . Whether thou warn them or thou warn them not , it is alike for them , for they believe not .
36.11 . Thou warnest only him who followeth the Reminder and feareth the Beneficent in secret . To him bear tidings of forgiveness and a rich reward .
36.12 . Lo! We it is Who bring the dead to life . We record that which they send before ( them ) , and their footprints . And all things We have kept in a clear register .
36.13 . Coin for them a similitude : The people of the city when those sent ( from Allah ) came unto them ;
36.14 . When We sent unto them twain , and they denied them both , so We reinforced them with a third , and they said ; Lo! we have been sent unto you .
36.15 . They said : Ye are but mortals like unto us . The Beneficent hath naught revealed . Ye do but lie!
36.16 . They answered : Our lord knoweth that we are indeed sent unto you ,
36.17 . And our duty is but plain conveyance ( of the message ) .
36.18 . ( The people of the city ) said : We augur ill of you . If ye desist not , we shall surely stone you , and grievous torture will befall you at our hands .
36.19 . They said : Your evil augury be with you! Is it because ye are reminded ( of the truth ) ? Nay , but ye are froward folk?
36.20 . And there came from the uttermost part of the city a man running . He cried : O my people! Follow those who have been sent!
