Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Heart of the Qur'an: A Commentary to Sura al Yasin Ayat no. 5-9 In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful A revelation of the Mighty, the Merciful. That you may warn a people whose fathers were not warned, so they are heedless. Certainly the word has proved true of most of them, so they do not believe. Surely We have placed chains on their necks, and these reach up to their chins, so they have their heads raised aloft.

And We have made before them a barrier and a barrier behind them, then We have covered them over so that they do not see. (36:5-9) *** *** Holy Prophet shown all ways and kingdoms This Quran, which is full of intelligence and wisdom, is the Word of the Lord of the Worlds Who is needless of His creation. But it is the demand of His Mercifulness that he shows man the right and true path so that man may fear his falling down (into Hell) from the Sirat Bridge (in the Hereafter).

“That you may warn a people…” So, O Prophet! Frighten by this Quran those, whose forefathers were not warned, and hence they remained unaware. I have already said that it denotes the intervening period between two prophets. For six hundred years before the arrival of the Holy Prophet (‘s), they did not have any prophet to warn them. …so they are heedless. *** *** But then God did a favor upon man and sent His Light or Radiance in the form of Muhammad (‘s).

God showed all the paths to Muhammad (‘s) including this world and the Hereafter, the angels, the Dominion and Paradise and Hell so that he may warn the creation. He showed the Divine Kingdom to the Holy Prophet during the Night of Ascension so that he may warn the people. Meccan polytheists being people of hell, news from the unseen Certainly the word has proved true of most of them, so they do not believe. *** *** That is, your truthfulness became indisputable. What is meant by this?

At the beginning of creation God addressed Satan: Get out of this (state), despised, driven away; whoever of them will follow you, I will certainly fill hell with you all. (7:18) *** *** This proved true in the case of most of them (People of Mecca) that they would go to Hell. This verse is one of the Divine secrets or prophecies from the unseen that, according to Quran, these polytheists will not believe till their last and will not follow Muhammad (‘s). …so they will not believe.

*** *** That is they are not believers. How is it so? Let us read on and it will soon become clear.
