Ya-Sin

By the wise Quran, the Prophet ﷺ is one of the messengers, on a straight path, sent to warn a people whose forefathers were not warned. Most will not believe, as if shackled and walled in. The warning helps only those who follow the Reminder, and every deed and trace is written in a clear register. A town rejects three messengers and threatens to stone them. Then a man comes running from the far end of the city: “O my people, follow the messengers.” He is told, “Enter Paradise,” and wishes his people knew how his Lord forgave him. One blast, and they are silent. The signs are everywhere: dead land brought to life, pairs in all things, night stripped from the day, the sun running to its resting place, the moon waning like an old date stalk, each floating in its orbit, and ships carrying people across the sea. They ask when the promise will come, but one blast will answer. The Trumpet is blown, and they cry, “Who woke us from our resting place?” The people of the Garden are busy with joy, and greeted with “Peace” from a Merciful Lord. The guilty are told to stand apart. Their mouths are sealed, while their hands speak and their feet bear witness. The Prophet ﷺ was not taught poetry; this is a Reminder and a clear Quran. A man brings a crumbled bone and asks who can give it life. The One who made it the first time, who brings fire out of a green tree. When He wills a thing, He says only “Be!” and it is. To Him you will all return.
