یٰسٓ
يٰسٓ (Ya Sin) 这一缩写字母组合中, س (Sin) 这一字母, 按照伊本•阿巴斯的看法, 代表 اَلْاِنْسَان (al-Insan), 意思是人或者完善的人; 或者代表 سَيِّد (Sayyid) 即领袖。因此, Ya Sin 这一用语的意思是,” 完善的人啊!” 或 “完善的领袖啊!” 按照学者们一致的意见, 这里指的是穆圣。他是一个完善的人, 因为他是人类最好的和最完善的榜样。他是 “最完善的领袖,” 因为他降临以后, 伟大的宗教改革者和安拉派遣的导师只能从信奉他的人们中间显现出来, 所有其他先知的信奉者接受安拉启示之门已经关闭了。
س سَیِّدٌ کا قائم مقام ہے۔ اگلی آیتوں میں رسول کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے سیّد ہونے کی دلیل دی ہے۔ اور وہ دلیل قرآن حکیم ہے۔
In the combined abbreviated letters Ya Sin, the letter Sin according to Ibn-e-‘Abbas stands for al-Insan meaning, man or perfect man; or for Sayyid (chief or leader). Thus the expression Ya Sin would mean, 'O Perfect Man!' or 'O Perfect Leader!' According to consensus of scholarly opinion, the reference is to the Holy Prophet. He was 'the perfect man' because humanity found its best and most perfect specimen in him and he was 'the perfect leader,' because after his advent great religious Reformers and Divine Teachers were to rise only from among his followers, the door of revelation having been closed to the followers of all other Prophets.
Commentary:
In the combined abbreviated letters یاسین the word سین according to Ibn ‘Abbas stands for الانسان meaning, man or perfect man, or for سید i.e. chief or leader. Thus the expression یاسین would mean, "O Perfect Man!" or "O Perfect Leader!" According to the consensus of scholarly opinion, the reference in these combined letters is to the Holy Prophet. The Prophet has been addressed as "Perfect Man" because humanity found its best and most perfect specimen in him. He has also been called "the Perfect Leader," because after his advent great religious Reformers and divine teachers were to rise only from among his followers. The door of revelation has been closed to the followers of all other Prophets. He is therefore "the perfect man" or the "leader par excellence."

«古兰经» 这部经典就是证明穆圣使命是真理的最有效和最有说服力的证据。再也没有比下一事实更能证明他的真理:他是不识字的, 但他给予世界一本充满着智慧的天经, 其文体的优美绝伦以及含义的无比丰富, 远远超过其他一切启示了的经典, 确实是永远为提高人类道德和精神复兴所降示的一本完善的经典。
واؤ عربی زبان میں قَسم کے معنے بھی دیتا ہے‘ اور قرآن کریم میں جہاں بھی قسم کا لفظ استعمال ہوتا ہے اس میں ایسی شہادت کا ذکر ہوتا ہے‘ جو پہلے مضمون کی دلیل ہوتی ہے۔ کیونکہ قسم کی بڑی غرض اپنے دعویٰ کو سچا ثابت کرنا ہوتا ہے۔ اور یہی غرض بتمام و کمال شہادت سے پوری ہوتی ہے۔
The most effective and convincing argument to prove the truth of the Holy Prophet’s mission is the Qur’an itself. There could be no greater testimony to his truth than the fact that being himself unlettered he gave to the world a Book which is full of wisdom and which far excels all other revealed Scriptures in its multifarious and multitudinous beauties and excellences and is a complete code of laws, meant for the moral uplift and spiritual regeneration of humanity for all time.

The Quran has been adduced here as an argument to prove and establish the Holy Prophet’s claim as a Messenger of God. In fact, the most effective and convincing argument to prove the truth of the Holy Prophet’s mission is the Quran.

The Quran is indeed a standing miracle and an incontrovertible testimony to the truth of the Holy Prophet.

穆圣的道路是今日通向安拉的唯一正直的道路。这节经文对一位先知和一位哲学家作了明确的区分。哲学家花了很长时间寻求真理, 但经常在探索中迷失方向; 可是安拉派遣的先知用最短的途径在最快的时间内发现真理。他不必像哲学家那样, 在抽象和难解的概念的迷宫中徘徊, 而是由安拉的启示直接引向真理的。
The Holy Prophet’s path now is the only right and straight path that leads to God. The verse makes a fine distinction between a Prophet and a philosopher. A philosopher takes long time to find out truth and often gets lost in the quest, but a Prophet of God discovers it by the shortest route and in the shortest time. Unlike philosophers he is guided to it direct by Divine revelation without wandering in the labyrinth of abstract and abstruse ideas.
Commentary:
The Holy Prophet’s path now is the only right and straight path that leads to God. All other paths that formerly led to Him have now been closed and shall remain closed till the end of time. The fact that after the advent of the Holy Prophet there has not appeared among the followers of any other religion a single claimant to Divine revelation, while there have been living among the followers of Islam in every age, persons to whom God spoke and revealed Himself, is a proof positive of the Holy Prophet’s path being now the only right and straight path, and of the Quran being the only revealed Book which can lead man to God.

Commentary:
The Arabs were the immediate addressees of the Holy Prophet and among them no Divine Messenger had appeared for a long time. But in His infallible wisdom God selected them for preaching to mankind the last Divine Message. The Quran has incontestibly laid claim to being that Message. The following verses of the Quran speak of its finality and universality: "Say, O mankind, truly I am a Messenger to you all from Allah" (7:159); "And We have sent thee not but as a mercy for all peoples" (21:108); "Blessed is He Who has sent down the Discrimin-ation to His servant, that he may be a Warner to all the worlds" (25:2); "And We have not sent thee but as a Bearer of good news and as a Warner to all mankind" (34:29).

13:6; 76:5.
اس آیت میں بتایا گیا ہے کہ جب شریعت نازل نہیں ہوتی تو انسان اپنی من گھڑت رسوم کے طوق اپنی گردن میں ڈال لیتا ہے۔ اور ان رسوم کی سختی بڑھتی جاتی ہے یہاں تک کہ انسان اپنے سامنے کی چیز بھی نہیں دیکھ سکتا اور ان سے بچنے کے لئے آنکھیں بند کرکے اپنی گردن اونچی کرنے لگتا ہے یعنی آنکھیں کھول کر یہ بھی نہیں دیکھتا کہ میں بیہودہ رسوم میں جکڑا ہوا ہوں مگر تکلیف دور کرنے کے لئے کبھی کبھی اپنی گردن اونچی کرتا ہے۔ یعنی قوم سے چوری چھپے ان رسوم کی تکلیف سے بچنا بھی چاہتا ہے۔
13:6; 76:5.
Shackles of customs, usages and prejudices, by which disbelievers are fettered and which prevent them from accepting the truth and smother all efforts at reform.
Even when a person tries to use his intelligence and to get away from the stranglehold of customs, etc. he is under pressure from various quarters, and he can scarcely see aright.
13:6; 76;5.
Important Words:
مقمحون (their heads are forced up) is derived from قمح. They say قمح البعیر i.e. the camel raised his head from the water and refused to drink, his thirst being satisfied or by reason of his dislike of water. أقمح means, he raised his head and contracted his eyes. أقمحه الغل means, the collar caused his (the captive’s) head to be raised by reason of the straitness thereof. أقمح بأنفهmeans, he was proud; behaved proudly; or elevated his nose from pride. إقماح also signifies the elevating of the head by means of pride (Aqrab & Lane).
Commentary:
The reference in the word أغلال (chains) may be to the "shackles" of customs, usages, and prejudices, by which disbelievers are fettered and which prevent them from accepting the truth. The word مقمحون (their heads are forced up) may also refer to disbelievers’ notion of false superiority and pride which leads to the same result. The verse may have reference also to the Battle of Badr or to the Fall of Mecca. After the Battle of Badr the Meccan chiefs were brought in chains, and at the Fall of Mecca they were seized with utter confusion, the word مقمحون (see root meaning of the word under "Important Words" above) giving a graphic description of their bewilderment and consternation when all of a sudden they found the Holy Prophet at the very gates of Mecca, at the head of an army of ten thousand strong. Their eyes remained fixed in a stare and they ran about with heads raised in bewilderment.

See also 2:125; 17:72 & 25:75.
آثارھم (that which they leave behind). آثار is the plural of أثر which is infinitive noun from أثر (athara). They say أثر خف البعیرi.e. he made an incision in the foot of the camel. أثر means, a relic; a trace remaining of a thing; a sign or mark or trace; a foot-print (Lane). See also 20:97.
Commentary:
The verse means to say that with the exception of those unfortunate people who by their persistent rejection of Truth have shut upon themselves the door of God’s mercy and for whom no admonition is of any avail, the spiritually dead Arabs will be brought to life through the teachings of the Quran and they will set such a noble example of righteousness and godliness that the footprints they will leave behind for others to follow will be made to endure and will be remembered with respect and serve as a source of inspiration for generations yet unborn.

Commentary:
The verse means to say that with the exception of those unfortunate people who by their persistent rejection of Truth have shut upon themselves the door of God’s mercy and for whom no admonition is of any avail, the spiritually dead Arabs will be brought to life through the teachings of the Quran and they will set such a noble example of righteousness and godliness that the footprints they will leave behind for others to follow will be made to endure and will be remembered with respect and serve as a source of inspiration for generations yet unborn.

وَاضۡرِبۡ لَہُمۡ مَّثَلًا اَصۡحٰبَ الۡقَرۡیَۃِ اِذۡ جَآءَہَا الۡمُرۡسَلُوۡنَ
Qaryah may mean any town or place, or metaphorically speaking it may stand for the whole world. Thus Ashabul-Qaryah may signify humanity at large. Or, the word signifying a particular town may refer to Mecca, the Centre and Citadel of Islam. In this case the word 'the Messengers' will apply to the Holy Prophet who represented in his person all the Messengers and Prophets of God.
Important Words:
القریة (the town) is infinitive-noun from قری. They say قری الضیف i.e. he entertained the guest. قری الماء فی الحوض means, he collected the water in the pond. قریة means, a town, a central town. It is so called because people from all quarters gather there and also because they are entertained there. The word also means, gathering of men (Aqrab).
Commentary:
A part of the Surah deals, in metaphorical language, with the advent of a great Reformer in the Latter Days who was to represent the Second Coming of the Holy Prophet. This important subject begins with the present verse.
The word القریة may have been used here in its wider sense meaning any town or place, or speaking metaphorically, it may stand for the whole world. The whole world has been called a قریة here because in the Latter Days the means of commun-ication were to develop so extensively that the whole world was to become, as it were, one town. In this sense of the word the expression may signify humanity at large. The use of the word "parable" with regard to the account of اصحاب القریة i.e. people of the town, seems to lend further support to the view that القریة may not be a particular town that has been mentioned here. The whole account is a parable or simile.
Or the word القریة signifying a particular town may refer to Mecca, the Centre and Citadel of Islam. In that case the word المرسلون (the Messengers) will apply to the Holy Prophet in whose person all the Messengers and Prophets of God were represented. See next verse.

اِذۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَاۤ اِلَیۡہِمُ اثۡنَیۡنِ فَکَذَّبُوۡہُمَا فَعَزَّزۡنَا بِثَالِثٍ فَقَالُوۡۤا اِنَّاۤ اِلَیۡکُمۡ مُّرۡسَلُوۡنَ

اِس آیت میں کہا گیا ہے کہ ہم نے دو رسول پہلے بھیجے۔ پھر ان کو تقویت دینے کے لئے تیسرا بھیجا۔ جس کے معنے یہ ہیں کہ وہ تیسرا رسول بھی وہی باتیں کرتا تھا جو پہلے کرتے تھے ورنہ اگر نئی باتیں کرتا تو ان کو اس سے کیا تقویت ہوتی۔ اس آیت سے ثابت ہے کہ بغیر شریعت کے بھی نبی ہوتا ہے کیونکہ اگر اس سے پہلے کوئی شریعت والے نبی گذرے ہیں اور وہ بھی ان جیسی باتیں کرتا ہے تو اس کے معنے یہی بن سکتے ہیں کہ وہ اپنی قوم سے کہتا ہے کہ تم بھی ان کی شریعت پر عمل کرو۔ میں انہی کی شریعت قائم کرنے کے لئے آیا ہوں۔ کوئی نئی شریعت لے کر نہیں آیا۔
Moses and Jesus or Abraham and Ishmael.
The Holy Prophet 'strengthened' Moses and Jesus by fulfilling in his person the prophecies they had made about his advent (Deut.18: 18 & Matt. 21: 33-46). And he 'strengthened' Abraham and Ishmael because in his person was fulfilled their prayer referred to in 2:129, 130.
Commentary:
The verse by way of introduction to the main subject makes a brief reference to two great Israelite Prophets, Moses and Jesus, one the Founder, and the other the great exponent of the Jewish Dispensation.
If the word القریة in the preceding verse may be taken as referring to Mecca, the two Messengers mentioned in the verse under comment will be Abraham and Ishmael.
The reference in the words "a third," in the expression "We strengthened them by third," seems to be to the Holy Prophet who testified to the truth of both Moses and Jesus and also to that of Abraham and Ishmael. The word ثالث (a third) has been used as a نکرة in order to signify the greatness of the third Prophet, the Holy Prophet.
The Holy Prophet "strengthened" Moses and Jesus, also Abraham and Ishmael by testifying to the truth of their missions and by fulfilling in his person the prophecies they had made about his advent (Deut. 18:18 & Matt. 21:33-46).

Commentary:
All the three great Prophets mentioned in the preceding verse were rejected on the plea that they were just ordinary "men like us" and that God never revealed anything to anybody. The pretext which disbelievers put forward in justi-fication of their rejection of God’s Prophets has elsewhere been mentioned in the Quran in the words: "We have not heard of such a thing among our forefathers" (23:25).

Rajama-hu means, he stoned him; he smote and killed him; he cursed him; he excommunicated him (Lane).
Important Words:
نرجمنکم (We will certainly stone you) is derived from رجم. They say رجمه i.e. he pelted him with stones; he smote and killed him; he drove him and killed him; he drove him away; he cursed him; he reviled or abused him; he boycotted or excommunicated him (Lane & Aqrab). See also 19:47.
Commentary:
When as a result of their rejection of the Divine Message disbelievers are visited with heavenly punishment in the form of calamities and misfortunes, then instead of repenting and mending their ways, they seek to attribute those visitations to the "inauspicious" advent of the Prophet himself. Moses was taunted by the Israelites for having brought all the misfortunes with him in the words, "We were made to suffer before thou camest to us and even after thou camest to us (7:130). Similarly, all other Prophets were taunted and mocked by disbelievers. It is to this attitude of disbelievers that the words, "surely we augur evil fortune from you", refer.
