Ya, Seen
By the wise Qur'an
Indeed you, [O Muhammad], are from among the messengers
On a straight path
[This is] a revelation of the Exalted in Might, the Merciful
That you may warn a people whose forefathers were not warned, so they are unaware
Already the word has come into effect upon most of them, so they do not believe
Indeed, We have put shackles on their necks, and they are to their chins, so they are with heads [kept] aloft
And We have put before them a barrier and behind them a barrier and covered them, so they do not see
And it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them - they will not believe
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
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
And present to them an example: the people of the city, when the messengers came to it
