 In  the  name  of  Allah,  the  Gracious,  the  Merciful 

1. Ya, Seen.

2. By the Wise Quran.

3. You are one of the messengers.

4. On a straight path.

5. The revelation of the Almighty, the Merciful.

6. To warn a people whose ancestors were not warned, and so they are unaware.

7. The Word was realized against most of them, for they do not believe.

8. We placed shackles around their necks, up to their chins, so they are stiff-necked.

9. And We placed a barrier in front of them, and a barrier behind them, and We have enshrouded them, so they cannot see.

10. It is the same for them, whether you warn them, or do not warn them—they will not believe.

11. You warn only him who follows the Message, and fears the Most Gracious inwardly. So give him good news of forgiveness, and a generous reward.

12. It is We who revive the dead; and We write down what they have forwarded, and their traces. We have tallied all things in a Clear Record.

13. And cite for them the parable of the landlords of the town—when the messengers came to it.

14. We sent them two messengers, but they denied them both, so We reinforced them with a third. They said, "We are messengers to you."

15. They said, "You are nothing but humans like us, and the Gracious did not send down anything; you are only lying."

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

17. And our only duty is clear communication."

18. They said, "We see an evil omen in you; if you do not give up, we will stone you, and a painful punishment from us will befall you."

19. They said, "Your evil omen is upon you. Is it because you were reminded? But you are an extravagant people."

20. Then a man came running from the remotest part of the city. He said, "O my people, follow the messengers.

21. Follow those who ask you of no wage, and are themselves guided.

22. "And why should I not worship Him Who created me, and to Whom you will be returned?

23. Shall I take other gods instead of Him? If the Merciful desires harm for me, their intercession will not avail me at all, nor will they save me.

24. In that case, I would be completely lost.

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

26. It was said, "Enter Paradise." He said, "If only my people knew.

27. How my Lord has forgiven me, and made me one of the honored."

28. After him, We sent down no hosts from heaven to his people; nor would We ever send any down.

29. It was just one Cry, and they were stilled.

30. Alas for the servants. No messenger ever came to them, but they ridiculed him.

31. Have they not considered how many generations We destroyed before them; and that unto them they will not return?
