Surah Yâ-Sĩn for kids content
BACKGROUND STORY
- •
An idol-worshipper, named Ubai ibn Khalaf, was one of the biggest enemies of Islam.
One day, he came to the Prophet with rotten bones.
He then smashed those bones and started making fun of the Prophet, saying, 'Wow!
Do you claim that Allah will bring those rotten bones back to life?
' The Prophet replied, 'Absolutely!
He will bring them back to life, and then raise you from the dead, and throw you in the Fire.
' So, verses 77-83 were revealed.
(Recorded by Imam Ibn Kathir & Imam Al-Qurtubi)
WORDS OF WISDOM
- •
The idol-worshippers found it difficult to believe in life after death.
So, in this surah, Allah tells them: If He can bring the universe into existence, If He can bring plants out of dead land, If He can bring
trees out of dry seeds, If He can bring fruits out of trees, If He can bring milk out of animals, If He can bring the day out
of the night, then He can easily bring the dead back to life for judgment.
ALLAH CAN BRING ALL BACK TO LIFE
77Do people not realize that We have created them from a human seed, and now--behold!
they clearly challenge Us?
78And they argue with Us-forgetting how they were created-saying, 'Who can bring rotten bones back to life?
'
79Say, 'O Prophet, 'They will be revived by the One Who created them the first time, and He has 'perfect' knowledge of every creation.
80'He is the One' Who gives you fire from green trees, and--behold!
you kindle 'fire' from them!
'
81Can the One Who created the heavens and the earth not bring 'a simple creation like' humans back to life?
' Yes, He can!
He is the Master Creator, with perfect knowledge.
82All it takes when He wants something 'to come into existence' is simply to say to it: 'Be!
' And it is!
83So glory be to the One with authority in His Hands over all things, and you will 'all' be returned to Him 'for judgment'.
أَوَ لَمۡ يَرَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَنَّا خَلَقۡنَٰهُ مِن نُّطۡفَةٖ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٞ مُّبِينٞ77
وَضَرَبَ لَنَا مَثَلٗا وَنَسِيَ خَلۡقَهُۥۖ قَالَ مَن يُحۡيِ ٱلۡعِظَٰمَ وَهِيَ رَمِيمٞ78
قُلۡ يُحۡيِيهَا ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنشَأَهَآ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٖۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ خَلۡقٍ عَلِيمٌ79
ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلشَّجَرِ ٱلۡأَخۡضَرِ نَارٗا فَإِذَآ أَنتُم مِّنۡهُ تُوقِدُونَ80
أَوَ لَيۡسَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَخۡلُقَ مِثۡلَهُمۚ بَلَىٰ وَهُوَ ٱلۡخَلَّٰقُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ81
إِنَّمَآ أَمۡرُهُۥٓ إِذَآ أَرَادَ شَيًۡٔا أَن يَقُولَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ82
فَسُبۡحَٰنَ ٱلَّذِي بِيَدِهِۦ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ وَإِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ83
