    Qaaloo taaa'irukum ma'akum; a'in zukkirtum; bal antum qawmum musrifoon

    They said, "Your omen is with yourselves. Is it because you were reminded? Rather, you are a transgressing people."

  20. 20 Yaseen 36:20

    وَجَآءَ مِنْ أَقْصَا ٱلْمَدِينَةِ رَجُلٌۭ يَسْعَىٰ قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ ٱتَّبِعُوا۟ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

    Yaa hasratan 'alal 'ibaad; maa yaateehim mir Rasoolin illaa kaanoo bihee yastahzi 'oon

    How regretful for the servants. There did not come to them any messenger except that they used to ridicule him.

  31. 31 Yaseen 36:31

    أَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ

    Alam yaraw kam ahlak naa qablahum minal qurooni annahum ilaihim laa yarji'oon

    Have they not considered how many generations We destroyed before them - that they to them will not return?

    Wa Aayatul lahumul ardul maitatu ahyainaahaa wa akhrajnaa minhaa habban faminhu yaakuloon

    And a sign for them is the dead earth. We have brought it to life and brought forth from it grain, and from it they eat.

  34. 34 Yaseen 36:34

    وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا جَنَّٰتٍۢ مِّن نَّخِيلٍۢ وَأَعْنَٰبٍۢ وَفَجَّرْنَا فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلْعُيُونِ

    Wa ja'alnaa feehaa jannaatim min nakheelinw wa a'naabinw wa fajjarnaa feeha minal 'uyoon

    And We placed therein gardens of palm trees and grapevines and caused to burst forth therefrom some springs -

  35. 35 Yaseen 36:35

    لِيَأْكُلُوا۟ مِن ثَمَرِهِۦ وَمَا عَمِلَتْهُ أَيْدِيهِمْ ۖ أَفَلَا يَشْكُرُونَ

    Liyaakuloo min samarihee wa maa 'amilat-hu aideehim; afalaa yashkuroon

    That they may eat of His fruit. And their hands have not produced it, so will they not be grateful?

  36. 36 Yaseen 36:36

    سُبْحَٰنَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْأَزْوَٰجَ كُلَّهَا مِمَّا تُنۢبِتُ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَمِنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَمِمَّا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

    وَءَايَةٌۭ لَّهُمُ ٱلَّيْلُ نَسْلَخُ مِنْهُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فَإِذَا هُم مُّظْلِمُونَ

    Wa Aayatul lahumul lailu naslakhu minhun nahaara fa-izaa hum muzlimoon

    And a sign for them is the night. We remove from it [the light of] day, so they are [left] in darkness.

  38. 38 Yaseen 36:38

    وَٱلشَّمْسُ تَجْرِى لِمُسْتَقَرٍّۢ لَّهَا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْعَلِيمِ

    Wash-shamsu tajree limustaqarril lahaa; zaalika taqdeerul 'Azeezil Aleem

    And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.

  39. 39 Yaseen 36:39

    وَٱلْقَمَرَ قَدَّرْنَٰهُ مَنَازِلَ حَتَّىٰ عَادَ كَٱلْعُرْجُونِ ٱلْقَدِيمِ

    Walqamara qaddarnaahu manaazila hattaa 'aada kal'ur joonil qadeem

    And the moon - We have determined for it phases, until it returns [appearing] like the old date stalk.

  40. 40 Yaseen 36:40

    لَا ٱلشَّمْسُ يَنۢبَغِى لَهَآ أَن تُدْرِكَ ٱلْقَمَرَ وَلَا ٱلَّيْلُ سَابِقُ ٱلنَّهَارِ ۚ وَكُلٌّۭ فِى فَلَكٍۢ يَسْبَحُونَ

    Lash shamsu yambaghee lahaaa an tudrikal qamara wa lal lailu saabiqun nahaar; wa kullun fee falaki yasbahoon

    It is not allowable for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming.

  41. 41 Yaseen 36:41

    وَءَايَةٌۭ لَّهُمْ أَنَّا حَمَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ

    Wa Aayatul lahum annaa hamalnaa zurriyatahum fil fulkil mashhoon

    And a sign for them is that We carried their forefathers in a laden ship.

    Wa in nashaa nughriqhum falaa sareekha lahum wa laa hum yunqazoon

    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

  44. 44 Yaseen 36:44

    إِلَّا رَحْمَةًۭ مِّنَّا وَمَتَٰعًا إِلَىٰ حِينٍۢ

    Illaa rahmatam minnaa wa mataa'an ilaa heen

    Except as a mercy from Us and provision for a time.

  45. 45 Yaseen 36:45

    وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱتَّقُوا۟ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَمَا خَلْفَكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ

    Wa izaa qeela lahumuttaqoo maa baina aideekum wa maa khalfakum la'allakum turhamoon

    But when it is said to them, "Beware of what is before you and what is behind you; perhaps you will receive mercy... "

  46. 46 Yaseen 36:46

    وَمَا تَأْتِيهِم مِّنْ ءَايَةٍۢ مِّنْ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ

    Wa maa taateehim min aayatim min ayataati Rabbihim illaa kaanoo 'anhaa mu'rideen

    And no sign comes to them from the signs of their Lord except that they are from it turning away.

  47. 47 Yaseen 36:47

    وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ أَنفِقُوا۟ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَنُطْعِمُ مَن لَّوْ يَشَآءُ ٱللَّهُ أَطْعَمَهُۥٓ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا فِى ضَلَٰلٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ

    Wa izaa qeela lahum anfiqoo mimmaa razaqakumul laahu qaalal lazeena kafaroo lillazeena aamanooo anut'imu mal-law yashaaa'ul laahu at'amahooo in antum illaa fee dalaalim mubeen

    And when it is said to them, "Spend from that which Allah has provided for you," those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Should we feed one whom, if Allah had willed, He would have fed? You are not but in clear error."

  48. 48 Yaseen 36:48

    وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ

    Wa yaqooloona mataa haazal wa'du in kuntum saadiqeen

    And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"

  49. 49 Yaseen 36:49

    مَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا صَيْحَةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ تَأْخُذُهُمْ وَهُمْ يَخِصِّمُونَ

    Maa yanzuroona illaa saihatanw waahidatan taa khuzuhum wa hum yakhissimoon

    They do not await except one blast which will seize them while they are disputing.

  50. 50 Yaseen 36:50

    فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ تَوْصِيَةًۭ وَلَآ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمْ يَرْجِعُونَ

    Falaa yastatee'oona taw siyatanw-wa laaa ilaaa ahlihim yarji'oon

    And they will not be able [to give] any instruction, nor to their people can they return.

  51. 51 Yaseen 36:51

    وَنُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَإِذَا هُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَنسِلُونَ

    Wa nufikha fis-soori faizaa hum minal ajdaasi ilaa Rabbihim yansiloon

    And the Horn will be blown; and at once from the graves to their Lord they will hasten.

  52. 52 Yaseen 36:52

    قَالُوا۟ يَٰوَيْلَنَا مَنۢ بَعَثَنَا مِن مَّرْقَدِنَا ۜ ۗ هَٰذَا مَا وَعَدَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ وَصَدَقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ

    Qaaloo yaa wailanaa mam ba'asanaa mim marqadinaa; haaza maa wa'adar Rahmanu wa sadaqal mursaloon

    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."

  53. 53 Yaseen 36:53

    إِن كَانَتْ إِلَّا صَيْحَةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ فَإِذَا هُمْ جَمِيعٌۭ لَّدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ

    In kaanat illaa saihatanw waahidatan fa-izaa hum jamee'ul ladainaa muhdaroon

    It will not be but one blast, and at once they are all brought present before Us.

  54. 54 Yaseen 36:54

    فَٱلْيَوْمَ لَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌۭ شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

    Fal-Yawma laa tuzlamu nafsun shai'anw-wa laa tujzawna illaa maa kuntum ta'maloon

    So today no soul will be wronged at all, and you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do.

  55. 55 Yaseen 36:55

    إِنَّ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ ٱلْيَوْمَ فِى شُغُلٍۢ فَٰكِهُونَ

    Inna Ashaabal jannatil Yawma fee shughulin faakihoon

    Indeed the companions of Paradise, that Day, will be amused in [joyful] occupation -

  56. 56 Yaseen 36:56

    هُمْ وَأَزْوَٰجُهُمْ فِى ظِلَٰلٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ مُتَّكِـُٔونَ

    Hum wa azwaajuhum fee zilaalin 'alal araaa'iki muttaki'oon

    They and their spouses - in shade, reclining on adorned couches.

  57. 57 Yaseen 36:57

    لَهُمْ فِيهَا فَٰكِهَةٌۭ وَلَهُم مَّا يَدَّعُونَ

    Lahum feehaa faakiha tunw-wa lahum maa yadda'oon

    For them therein is fruit, and for them is whatever they request [or wish]
