Ya-Sin يس

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ يس

bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim ya sin

Ya, Seen.

وَالْقُرْآنِ الْحَكِيمِ

wal-quran al-hakim

By the wise Qur'an.

إِنَّكَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

innaka lamina al-mursalin

Indeed you, [O Muhammad], are from among the messengers,

عَلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

'ala sirat mustaqim

On a straight path.

تَنزِيلَ الْعَزِيزِ الرَّحِيمِ

tanzil al-'aziz ar-rahim

[This is] a revelation of the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,

لِتُنذِرَ قَوْمًا مَّا أُنذِرَ آبَاؤُهُمْ فَهُمْ غَافِلُونَ

li-tundhir qawman ma undhira aba'uhum fa-hum ghafilun

That you may warn a people whose forefathers were not warned, so they are unaware.

لَقَدْ حَقَّ الْقَوْلُ عَلَىٰ أَكْثَرِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

laqad haqqa al-qawl 'ala aktharihim fa-hum la yu'minun

Already the word has come into effect upon most of them, so they do not believe.

إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا فِي أَعْنَاقِهِمْ أَغْلَالًا فَهِيَ إِلَى الْأَذْقَانِ فَهُم مُّقْمَحُونَ

inna ja'alna fi a'naqihim aghlalan fa-hiya ila al-adhqan fa-hum muqmahun

Indeed, We have put shackles on their necks, and they are to their chins, so they are with heads [kept] aloft.

وَجَعَلْنَا مِن بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ سَدًّا وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ سَدًّا فَأَغْشَيْنَاهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ

wa-ja'alna min bayn aydihim saddan wa-min khalfihim saddan fa-aghshaynahum fa-hum la yubsirun

And We have put before them a barrier and behind them a barrier and covered them, so they do not see.

وَسَوَاءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ أَأَنذَرْتَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تُنذِرْهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

wa-sawa' 'alayhim a'andhartahum am lam tundhirhum la yu'minun

And it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them - they will not believe.

إِنَّمَا تُنذِرُ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الذِّكْرَ وَخَشِيَ الرَّحْمَـٰنَ بِالْغَيْبِ ۖ فَبَشِّرْهُ بِمَغْفِرَةٍ وَأَجْرٍ كَرِيمٍ

innama tundhiru mani ittaba'a adh-dhikra wa-khashiya ar-rahman bil-ghaybi fa-bashshirhu bi-maghfiratin wa-ajrin karim

You can only warn one who follows the message and fears the Most Merciful unseen. So give him good tidings of forgiveness and noble reward.

إِنَّا نَحْنُ نُحْيِي الْمَوْتَىٰ وَنَكْتُبُ مَا قَدَّمُوا وَآثَارَهُمْ ۚ وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَاهُ فِي إِمَامٍ مُّبِينٍ

inna nahnu nuhyi al-mawta wa-naktubu ma qaddamu wa-atharahum wa-kulla shay' 'ahsaynahu fi imam mubin

Indeed, it is We who bring the dead to life and record what they have put forth and what they left behind, and all things We have enumerated in a clear register.

وَاضْرِبْ لَهُم مَّثَلًا أَصْحَابَ الْقَرْيَةِ إِذْ جَاءَهَا الْمُرْسَلُونَ

wa-drib lahum mathalan ashab al-qaryah id ja'aha al-mursaluun

And present to them an example: the people of the city, when the messengers came to it -

إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْهِمُ اثْنَيْنِ فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَعَزَّزْنَا بِثَالِثٍ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا إِلَيْكُم مُّرْسَلُونَ

idh arsalna ilayhimu ithnayn fa-kadhdhabuhuma fa-'azzazna bi-thalithin fa-qalu inna ilaykum mursalun

When We sent to them two but they denied them, so We strengthened them with a third, and they said, "Indeed, we are messengers to you."

قَالُوا مَا أَنتُمْ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا وَمَا أَنزَلَ الرَّحْمَـٰنُ مِن شَيْءٍ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا تَكْذِبُونَ

qalu ma antum illa bashar mithluna wa-ma anzala ar-rahman min shay'in in antum illa takdhibun

They said, "You are not but human beings like us, and the Most Merciful has not revealed a thing. You are only telling lies."

قَالُوا رَبُّنَا يَعْلَمُ إِنَّا إِلَيْكُمْ لَمُرْسَلُونَ

qalu rabbuna ya'lam inna ilaykum la-mursaluun

They said, "Our Lord knows that we are messengers to you,

وَمَا عَلَيْنَا إِلَّا الْبَلَاغُ الْمُبِينُ

wa-ma 'alayna illa al-balagh al-mubin

And we are not responsible except for clear notification."

قَالُوا إِنَّا تَطَيَّرْنَا بِكُمْ ۖ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهُوا لَنَرْجُمَنَّكُمْ وَلَيَمَسَّنَّكُم مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

qalu inna tatawwayarna bikum la'in lam tantahu lanarjumannakum wa-layamassannakum minna 'adhab alim

They said, "Indeed, we consider you a bad omen. If you do not desist, we will surely stone you, and there will surely touch you, from us, a painful punishment."

قَالُوا طَائِرُكُم مَّعَكُمْ ۚ أَئِن ذُكِّرْتُم ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّسْرِفُونَ

qalu ta'irukum ma'akum a'in dhukkirtum bal antum qawm musrifun

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

وَجَاءَ مِنْ أَقْصَى الْمَدِينَةِ رَجُلٌ يَسْعَىٰ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اتَّبِعُوا الْمُرْسَلِينَ

wa-ja'a min aqsa al-madinah rajulun yas'a qala ya qawmi ittabi'u al-mursalin

And there came from the farthest end of the city a man, running. He said, "O my people, follow the messengers.

اتَّبِعُوا مَن لَّا يَسْأَلُكُمْ أَجْرًا وَهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ

ittabi'u man la yas'alukum ajran wa-hum muhtadun

Follow those who do not ask of you [any] payment, and they are [rightly] guided.

وَمَا لِيَ لَا أَعْبُدُ الَّذِي فَطَرَنِي وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ

wa-ma li la a'budu alladhi fatarani wa-ilayhi turja'un

And why should I not worship He who created me and to whom you will be returned?

أَأَتَّخِذُ مِن دُونِهِ آلِهَةً إِن يُرِدْنِ الرَّحْمَـٰنُ بِضُرٍّ لَّا تُغْنِ عَنِّي شَفَاعَتُهُمْ شَيْئًا وَلَا يُنقِذُونِ

a'attakhidh min dunihi alihah in yuridni ar-rahman bi-durrin la tughni 'anni shafa'atuhum shay'an wa-la yunqidhuni

Should I take other than Him [false] deities [while], if the Most Merciful intends for me some adversity, their intercession will not avail me at all, nor can they save me?

إِنِّي إِذًا لَّفِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ

inni idhan lafi dalalin mubin

Indeed, I would then be in manifest error.

إِنِّي آمَنتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ فَاسْمَعُونِ

inni amantu bi-rabbikum fa-isma'uni

Indeed, I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me."

قِيلَ ادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ ۖ قَالَ يَا لَيْتَ قَوْمِي يَعْلَمُونَ

qil udkhul al-jannah qal ya layt qawm ya'lamun

It was said, "Enter Paradise." He said, "I wish my people could know

بِمَا غَفَرَ لِي رَبِّي وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ الْمُكْرَمِينَ

bima ghafara li rabbii wa-ja'alani mina al-mukramin

Of how my Lord has forgiven me and placed me among the honored."

وَمَا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ مِن بَعْدِهِ مِن جُندٍ مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ وَمَا كُنَّا مُنزِلِينَ

wa-ma anzalna 'ala qawmih min ba'dih min jund min as-sama' wa-ma kunna munzilin

And We did not send down upon his people after him any soldiers from the heaven, nor would We have done so.

إِن كَانَتْ إِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَاحِدَةً فَإِذَا هُمْ خَامِدُونَ

in kanat illa sayhah wahidah fa-idha hum khamidun

It was not but one shout, and immediately they were extinguished.

يَا حَسْرَةً عَلَى الْعِبَادِ ۚ مَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ

ya hasratan 'ala al-'ibad ma ya'tihim min rasul illa kanu bihi yastahzi'un

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

أَلَمْ يَرَوْا كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّنَ الْقُرُونِ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ

alam yaraw kam ahlakna qablahum min al-qurun annahum ilayhim la yarji'un

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

وَإِن كُلٌّ لَّمَّا جَمِيعٌ لَّدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ

wa-in kull lamma jami' ladayna muhdarun

And indeed, all of them will yet be brought present before Us.

وَآيَةٌ لَّهُمُ الْأَرْضُ الْمَيْتَةُ أَحْيَيْنَاهَا وَأَخْرَجْنَا مِنْهَا حَبًّا فَمِنْهُ يَأْكُلُونَ

wa-ayah lahum al-ard al-maytah ahyaynaha wa-akhrajna minha habban fa-minhu ya'kulun

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.

وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا جَنَّاتٍ مِّن نَّخِيلٍ وَأَعْنَابٍ وَفَجَّرْنَا فِيهَا مِنَ الْعُيُونِ

wa-ja'alna fiha jannat min nakhil wa-a'nab wa-fajjarna fiha min al-'uyun

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

لِيَأْكُلُوا مِن ثَمَرِهِ وَمَا عَمِلَتْهُ أَيْدِيهِمْ ۖ أَفَلَا يَشْكُرُونَ

li-ya'kulu min thamaratih wama 'amilat-hu aydihim afala yashkurun

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

سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْأَزْوَاجَ كُلَّهَا مِمَّا تُنبِتُ الْأَرْضُ وَمِنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَمِمَّا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

subhan alladhi khalaq al-azwaj kullaha mimma tunbitu al-ard wa-min anfusihim wa-mimma la ya'lamun

Exalted is He who created all pairs - from what the earth grows and from themselves and from that which they do not know.

وَآيَةٌ لَّهُمُ اللَّيْلُ نَسْلَخُ مِنْهُ النَّهَارَ فَإِذَا هُم مُّظْلِمُونَ

wa-ayah lahum al-layl naslakh minhu an-nahar fa-idha hum muzlimun

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

وَالشَّمْسُ تَجْرِي لِمُسْتَقَرٍّ لَّهَا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِ

wash-shamsu tajri li-mustaqarr laha dhalik taqdir al-'aziz al-'alim

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

وَالْقَمَرَ قَدَّرْنَاهُ مَنَازِلَ حَتَّىٰ عَادَ كَالْعُرْجُونِ الْقَدِيمِ

wal-qamar qaddarnahu manazil hatta 'ada ka-al-'urjun al-qadim

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

لَا الشَّمْسُ يَنبَغِي لَهَا أَن تُدْرِكَ الْقَمَرَ وَلَا اللَّيْلُ سَابِقُ النَّهَارِ ۚ وَكُلٌّ فِي فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ

la ash-shamsu yanbaghi laha an tudrika al-qamar wa-la al-laylu sabiqu an-nahar wa-kullun fi falakin yasbahun

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.

وَآيَةٌ لَّهُمْ أَنَّا حَمَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ فِي الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُونِ

wa-ayah lahum anna hamalna dhurriyyatahum fi al-fulk al-mashhun

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

وَخَلَقْنَا لَهُم مِّن مِّثْلِهِ مَا يَرْكَبُونَ

wa-khalaqna lahum min mithlihi ma yarkabun

And We created for them from the likes of it that which they ride.

وَإِن نَّشَأْ نُغْرِقْهُمْ فَلَا صَرِيخَ لَهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنقَذُونَ

wa-in nasha' nughriqhum fala sarikh lahum wala hum yunqadhun

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 رَحْمَةً مِّنَّا وَمَتَاعًا إِلَىٰ حِينٍ

illa rahmat minna wa-mata'an ila hin

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

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ اتَّقُوا مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَمَا خَلْفَكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ

wa-idha qila lahumu ittaqu ma bayna aydikum wa-ma khalfakum la'allakum turhamun

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

وَمَا تَأْتِيهِم مِّنْ آيَةٍ مِّنْ آيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ إِلَّا كَانُوا عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ

wa-ma ta'tihim min ayatin min ayati rabbihim illa kanu 'anha mu'ridin

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

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ أَنفِقُوا مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ قَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنُطْعِمُ مَن لَّوْ يَشَاءُ اللَّهُ أَطْعَمَهُ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ

wa-idha qila lahum anfiqu mimma razaqakumu Allahu qala alladhina kafaru lilladhina amanu anut'im man law yasha'u Allahu at'amahu in antum illa fi dalalin mubin

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."

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا الْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ

wa-yaqulun mata hadha al-wa'd in kuntum sadiqin

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

مَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَاحِدَةً تَأْخُذُهُمْ وَهُمْ يَخِصِّمُونَ

ma yanzurun illa sayhatan wahidatan ta'khudhuhum wa-hum yakhsimun

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

فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ تَوْصِيَةً وَلَا إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِمْ يَرْجِعُونَ

fa-la yastati'un tawsiyatan wa-la ila ahlihim yarji'un

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

وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ فَإِذَا هُم مِّنَ الْأَجْدَاثِ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَنسِلُونَ

wa-nufikha fi as-sur fa-idha hum min al-ajdath ila rabbihim yansilun

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

قَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا مَن بَعَثَنَا مِن مَّرْقَدِنَا ۜ ۗ هَـٰذَا مَا وَعَدَ الرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَصَدَقَ الْمُرْسَلُونَ

qalu ya waylana man ba'athana min marqadina hadha ma wa'ad ar-rahman wa-sadaq al-mursalun

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 كَانَتْ إِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَاحِدَةً فَإِذَا هُمْ جَمِيعٌ لَّدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ

in kanat illa sayhatan wahidatan fa-idha hum jami' ladayna muhdarun

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

فَالْيَوْمَ لَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْئًا وَلَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

fa-al-yawm la tuzlam nafs shay' wa-la tujzawn illa ma kuntum ta'malun

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

إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ الْجَنَّةِ الْيَوْمَ فِي شُغُلٍ فَاكِهُونَ

inna ashab al-jannah al-yawm fi shughul fakihun

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

هُمْ وَأَزْوَاجُهُمْ فِي ظِلَالٍ عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ مُتَّكِئُونَ

hum wa-azwajuhum fi zilal 'ala al-ara'ik muttaki'un

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

لَهُمْ فِيهَا فَاكِهَةٌ وَلَهُم مَّا يَدَّعُونَ

lahum fiha fakiha walahum ma yadda'un

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

سَلَامٌ قَوْلًا مِّن رَّبٍّ رَّحِيمٍ

salam qawlan min rabb rahim

[And] "Peace," a word from a Merciful Lord.

وَامْتَازُوا الْيَوْمَ أَيُّهَا الْمُجْرِمُونَ

wamtazu al-yawma ayyuha al-mujrimun

[Then He will say], "But stand apart today, you criminals.

أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يَا بَنِي آدَمَ أَن لَّا تَعْبُدُوا الشَّيْطَانَ ۖ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ

a-lam a'had ilaykum ya bani adama an la ta'budu ash-shaytan innahu lakum 'aduw mubin

Did I not enjoin upon you, O children of Adam, that you not worship Satan - [for] indeed, he is to you a clear enemy -

وَأَنِ اعْبُدُونِي ۚ هَـٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ

wa an-i 'buduni hadha sirat mustaqim

And that you worship [only] Me? This is a straight path.

وَلَقَدْ أَضَلَّ مِنكُمْ جِبِلًّا كَثِيرًا ۖ أَفَلَمْ تَكُونُوا تَعْقِلُونَ

wa-laqad adalla minkum jibill kathir afalam takunu ta'qilu

And he had already led astray from among you much of creation, so did you not use reason?

هَـٰذِهِ جَهَنَّمُ الَّتِي كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ

hadhihi jahannam allati kuntum tu'adun

This is the Hellfire which you were promised.

اصْلَوْهَا الْيَوْمَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ

islawha al-yawma bima kuntum takfurun

[Enter to] burn therein today for what you used to deny."

الْيَوْمَ نَخْتِمُ عَلَىٰ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَتُكَلِّمُنَا أَيْدِيهِمْ وَتَشْهَدُ أَرْجُلُهُم بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ

al-yawma nakhtimu 'ala afwahihim wa-tukallimuna aydihim wa-tashhadu arjuluhum bima kanu yaksibun

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.

وَلَوْ نَشَاءُ لَطَمَسْنَا عَلَىٰ أَعْيُنِهِمْ فَاسْتَبَقُوا الصِّرَاطَ فَأَنَّىٰ يُبْصِرُونَ

wa-law nasha'u la-tamasna 'ala a'yunihim fa-stabaqu as-sirat fa-anna yubsirun

And if We willed, We could have obliterated their eyes, and they would race to [find] the path, and how could they see?

وَلَوْ نَشَاءُ لَمَسَخْنَاهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِهِمْ فَمَا اسْتَطَاعُوا مُضِيًّا وَلَا يَرْجِعُونَ

wa-law nasha'u lamaskhnahum 'ala makanatihim fa-ma stata'u mudyan wa-la yarji'un

And if We willed, We could have deformed them, [paralyzing them] in their places so they would not be able to proceed, nor could they return.

وَمَن نُّعَمِّرْهُ نُنَكِّسْهُ فِي الْخَلْقِ ۖ أَفَلَا يَعْقِلُونَ

wa-man nu'ammirhu nunakkishu fi al-khalq afala ya'qilun

And he to whom We grant long life We reverse in creation; so will they not understand?

وَمَا عَلَّمْنَاهُ الشِّعْرَ وَمَا يَنبَغِي لَهُ ۚ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ وَقُرْآنٌ مُّبِينٌ

wa ma 'allamnahu ash-shi'r wa ma yanbaghi lahu in huwa illa dhikr wa qur'an mubin

And We did not give Prophet Muhammad, knowledge of poetry, nor is it befitting for him. It is not but a message and a clear Qur'an

لِّيُنذِرَ مَن كَانَ حَيًّا وَيَحِقَّ الْقَوْلُ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ

li-yundhir man kana hayyan wa-yaqqa al-qawl 'ala al-kafirin

To warn whoever is alive and justify the word against the disbelievers.

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّا خَلَقْنَا لَهُم مِّمَّا عَمِلَتْ أَيْدِينَا أَنْعَامًا فَهُمْ لَهَا مَالِكُونَ

a-wa-lam yaraw anna khalaqna lahum mimma 'amilat aydina an'am fa-hum laha malikun

Do they not see that We have created for them from what Our hands have made, grazing livestock, and [then] they are their owners?

وَذَلَّلْنَاهَا لَهُمْ فَمِنْهَا رَكُوبُهُمْ وَمِنْهَا يَأْكُلُونَ

wa-dhallalnaha lahum fa-minha rukubuhum wa-minha ya'kulun

And We have tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat.

وَلَهُمْ فِيهَا مَنَافِعُ وَمَشَارِبُ ۖ أَفَلَا يَشْكُرُونَ

wa-lahum fiha manafi' wa-masharib afala yashkurun

And for them therein are [other] benefits and drinks, so will they not be grateful?

وَاتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ آلِهَةً لَّعَلَّهُمْ يُنصَرُونَ

wa-ittakhadhu min dun Allahi alihah la'allahum yunsarun

But they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that perhaps they would be helped.

لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ نَصْرَهُمْ وَهُمْ لَهُمْ جُندٌ مُّحْضَرُونَ

la yastati'un nasrahum wa-hum lahum jund muhdarun

They are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance.

فَلَا يَحْزُنكَ قَوْلُهُمْ ۘ إِنَّا نَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ

fa-la yahzunka qawluhum inna na'lamu ma yusirrun wa-ma yu'linun

So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare.

أَوَلَمْ يَرَ الْإِنسَانُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌ مُّبِينٌ

awalam yara al-insanu anna khalaqnahu min nutfatin fa-idha huwa khasim mubin

Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary?

وَضَرَبَ لَنَا مَثَلًا وَنَسِيَ خَلْقَهُ ۖ قَالَ مَن يُحْيِي الْعِظَامَ وَهِيَ رَمِيمٌ
