English Translation
Here you can read various translations of verse 19
They said, “Your omen is with yourselves. Is it because you were reminded? Rather, you are a transgressing people.”
They said: “Your evil omens are with yourselves: (deem ye this an evil omen). If ye are admonished? Nay, but ye are a people transgressing all bounds!”
The Messengers replied: “Your evil omen is with you. (Are you saying this) because you were asked to take heed? The truth is that you are a people who have exceeded all bounds.”
They (Messengers) said: “Your evil omens be with you! (Do you call it “evil omen”) because you are admonished? Nay, but you are a people Musrifun (transgressing all bounds by committing all kinds of great sins, and by disobeying Allah).
They said: Your evil augury be with you! Is it because ye are reminded (of the truth)? Nay, but ye are froward folk!
They said, “Your bird (of augury) is with you; is it so, in case you are reminded? (i.e., Do you call it an evil omen that we remind you?) No indeed, (but) you are an extravagant people.”
The messengers said, ‘The evil omen is within yourselves. Why do you take it as an evil omen when you are reminded of the Truth? You are going too far!’
ان رسولوں نے کہا کہ تمہاری نحوست تمہارے ساتھ ہی لگی ہوئی ہے، کیا اس کو نحوست سمجھتے ہو کہ تم کو نصیحت کی جائے بلکہ تم حد سے نکل جانے والے لوگ ہو
Quran 36 Verse 19 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Yaseen ayat 19, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(36:19) The Messengers replied: “Your evil omen is with you.[15] (Are you saying this) because you were asked to take heed? The truth is that you are a people who have exceeded all bounds.”[16]
15. That is, no one is an evil omen for another. Everyman’s augury is hanging around his own neck. If a person sees an evil, it is because of his own self; and if he sees a good, it is also because of his own self. We have fastened the augury of every man to his own neck. (Surah Bani-Israil, Ayat 13).
16. That is, you in fact want to avoid the good and you like the deviation instead of the guidance. Therefore, instead of determining the truth and falsehood by means of an argument, you are making these false pretenses on account of your superstitious whims.
