Waayatun lahumu alardu almaytatu ahyaynaha waakhrajna minha habban faminhu yakuloona

La alshshamsu yanbaghee laha an tudrika alqamara wala allaylu sabiqu alnnahari wakullun fee falakin yasbahoona

Wain nasha nughriqhum fala sareekha lahum wala hum yunqathoona
And if We should will, We could drown them; then no one responding to a cry would there be for them, nor would they be saved
إِلَّا رَحۡمَةࣰ مِّنَّا وَ مَتَٰعًا إِلَىٰ حِينࣲ﴿٤٤﴾
Illa rahmatan minna wamataʿan ila heenin
Except as a mercy from Us and provision for a time.

Waitha qeela lahumu ittaqoo ma bayna aydeekum wama khalfakum laʿallakum turhamoona
But when it is said to them, "Beware of what is before you and what is behind you; perhaps you will receive mercy..."

Waitha qeela lahum anfiqoo mimma razaqakumu Allahu qala allatheena kafaroo lillatheena amanoo anutʿimu man law yashao Allahu atʿamahu in antum illa fee dalalin mubeenin
And when it is said to them, "Spend from that which Allāh has provided for you," those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Should we feed one whom, if Allāh had willed, He would have fed? You are not but in clear error."
وَ يَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ﴿٤٨﴾
Wayaqooloona mata hatha alwaʿdu in kuntum sadiqeena

And they will not be able [to give] any instruction, nor to their people can they return.
وَ نُفِخَ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَإِذَا هُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَجۡدَاثِ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ يَنسِلُونَ﴿٥١﴾
Wanufikha fee alssoori faitha hum mina alajdathi ila rabbihim yansiloona
And the Horn will be blown; and at once from the graves to their Lord they will hasten.

Qaloo ya waylana man baʿathana min marqadina hatha ma waʿada alrrahmanu wasadaqa almursaloona
They will say, "O woe to us! Who has raised us up from our sleeping place?" [The reply will be], "This is what the Most Merciful had promised, and the messengers told the truth."
إِن كَانَتۡ إِلَّا صَيۡحَةࣰ وَٰحِدَةࣰ فَإِذَا هُمۡ جَمِيعࣱ لَّدَيۡنَا مُحۡضَرُونَ﴿٥٣﴾
In kanat illa sayhatan wahidatan faitha hum jameeʿun ladayna muhdaroona

Alyawma nakhtimu ʿala afwahihim watukallimuna aydeehim watashhadu arjuluhum bima kanoo yaksiboona
That Day, We will seal over their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will testify about what they used to earn.
وَ لَوۡ نَشَآءُ لَطَمَسۡنَا عَلَىٰٓ أَعۡيُنِهِمۡ فَٱسۡتَبَقُواْ ٱلصِّرَٰطَ فَأَنَّىٰ يُبۡصِرُونَ﴿٦٦﴾
Walaw nashao latamasna ʿala aʿyunihim faistabaqoo alssirata faanna yubsiroona

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ أَنَّا خَلَقۡنَا لَهُم مِّمَّا عَمِلَتۡ أَيۡدِينَآ أَنۡعَٰمࣰا فَهُمۡ لَهَا مَٰلِكُونَ﴿٧١﴾
Awalam yaraw anna khalaqna lahum mimma ʿamilat aydeena anʿaman fahum laha malikoona
Do they not see that We have created for them from what Our hands have made, grazing livestock, and [then] they are their owners?
وَ ذَلَّلۡنَٰهَا لَهُمۡ فَمِنۡهَا رَكُوبُهُمۡ وَ مِنۡهَا يَأۡكُلُونَ﴿٧٢﴾
Wathallalnaha lahum faminha rakoobuhum waminha yakuloona
And We have tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat.

Awalam yara alinsanu anna khalaqnahu min nutfatin faitha huwa khaseemun mubeenun
Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary?

About this surah
Name
The Surah takes its name from the two letters of the alphabet with which it begins.
Period of Revelation
A study of the style shows that it was either sent down during the last stage of the middle Makkan period, or it is one of those Surahs, which were sent down during the last stage of the Holy Prophet's stay at Makkah.
Subject Matter and Theme
The object of the discourse is to warn the Quraish of the consequences of not believing in the Prophethood of Muhammad (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and of resisting and opposing it with tyranny, ridicule and mockery. The aspect of the warning is dominant and conspicuous although along with repeatedly giving the warnings, arguments also have been given for the correct understanding by the people.
Arguments have been given for three things: (1) For Tauhid, from the signs of the universe and from common sense; (2) for the Hereafter, from the signs of the universe, from common sense and from man's own existence itself; and (3) for the Prophethood of the Prophet Muhammad, from the fact that he was facing all kinds of hardships in the preaching of his message without any selfish motive, and from this that whatever he was inviting the people to was rational and reasonable, accepting which was in the people's own interest.
On the strength of these arguments, themes of reprobation, reproof and warning have been presented repeatedly in a highly forceful manner, so that hearts are shaken up and those which have any capacity for accepting the truth left in them should not remain unmoved.
Imam Ahmad, Abu Daud, Nasai, Ibn Majah and Tabarani have related on the authority of Hadrat Ma'qil bin Yasar that the Holy Prophet said:"Surah Ya Sin is the heart of the Qur'an."This is similar to describing the Surah Al Fatiha has the Umm al Qur'an (the essence or core of the Qur'an), because Al Fatihah contains the sum and substance of the teaching of the whole Quran. The Surah Ya Sin has been called the throbbing heart of the Qur'an because it presents the message of the Qur'an in a most forceful manner, which breaks the inertness and stirs the spirit of man to action.
Again Imam Ahmad, Aba Da'ud and Ibn Majah have related from the same Ma'qil bin Yasar that the Holy Prophet said: "Recite Surah Ya Sin to the dying ones among you." The object is not only to revive and refresh the whole Islamic creed in the mind of the dying person but also bring before him, in particular, a complete picture of the Hereafter so that he may know what stages he would have to pass through after crossing the stage of this worldly life. In view of this, it would be desirable that along with the recitation of the Surah Ya Sin its translation also is made for the benefit of the person who does not know Arabic so that the purpose of the admonition is duly fulfilled.
