Surah Maryam

ك࢜هٰيٰع࢜ص࢜ ۝١ࣞۚ

1Kaf, Ha, Ya, ‘Ayn, Suad.

ذِكْرُ رَحْمَتِ رَبِّكَ عَبْدَهٗ زَكَرِيَّا ۝٢ۖۚ

2[This is] an account of your Lord’s mercy on His servant, Zechariah,

اِذْ نَادٰي رَبَّهٗ نِدَا࢜ءً خَفِيًّا ۝٣

3when he called out to his Lord with a secret cry.

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّيْ وَهَنَ الْعَظْمُ مِنِّيْ وَاشْتَعَلَ الرَّاْسُ شَيْبًا وَّلَمْ اَكُنْۢ بِدُعَا࢜ىِٕكَ رَبِّ شَقِيًّا ۝٤

4He said, ‘My Lord! Indeed my bones have become feeble, and my head has turned white with age, yet never have I, my Lord, been disappointed in supplicating You!

وَاِنِّيْ خِفْتُ الْمَوَالِيَ مِنْ وَّرَا࢜ءِيْ وَكَانَتِ امْرَاَتِيْ عَاقِرًا فَهَبْ لِيْ مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ وَلِيًّا ۝٥ۙ

5Indeed I fear my kinsmen, after me, and my wife is barren. So grant me from Yourself an heir

يَّرِثُنِيْ وَيَرِثُ مِنْ اٰلِ يَعْقُوْبَࣗۖ وَاجْعَلْهُ رَبِّ رَضِيًّا ۝٦

6who may inherit from me and inherit from the House of Jacob, and make him, my Lord, pleasing [to You]!’

يٰزَكَرِيَّا͏ٓ اِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلٰمِ اࣙسْمُهٗ يَحْيٰيۙ لَمْ نَجْعَلْ لَّهٗ مِنْ قَبْلُ سَمِيًّا ۝٧

7‘O Zechariah! Indeed We give you the good news of a son, whose name is ‘‘John.’’ Never before have We made anyone his namesake.’

قَالَ رَبِّ اَنّٰي يَكُوْنُ لِيْ غُلٰمٌ وَّكَانَتِ امْرَاَتِيْ عَاقِرًا وَّقَدْ بَلَغْتُ مِنَ الْكِبَرِ عِتِيًّا ۝٨

8He said, ‘My Lord! How shall I have a son, when my wife is barren, and I am already advanced in age?’

قَالَ كَذٰلِكَۚ قَالَ رَبُّكَ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٌ وَّقَدْ خَلَقْتُكَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلَمْ تَكُ شَيْـًٔا ۝٩

9He said, ‘So shall it be. Your Lord has said, ‘‘It is simple for Me.’’ Certainly I created you before when you were nothing.’

قَالَ رَبِّ اجْعَلْ لِّيْٓ اٰيَةًؕ قَالَ اٰيَتُكَ اَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ النَّاسَ ثَلٰثَ لَيَالٍ سَوِيًّا ۝١٠

10He said, ‘My Lord! Appoint a sign for me.’ He said, ‘Your sign is that you will not speak to the people for three complete nights.’

فَخَرَجَ عَلٰي قَوْمِهٖ مِنَ الْمِحْرَابِ فَاَوْحٰٓي اِلَيْهِمْ اَنْ سَبِّحُوْا بُكْرَةً وَّعَشِيًّا ۝١١

11So he emerged before his people from the Temple, and signalled to them that they should glorify [Allah] morning and evening.

يٰيَحْيٰي خُذِ الْكِتٰبَ بِقُوَّةٍؕ وَاٰتَيْنٰهُ الْحُكْمَ صَبِيًّا ۝١٢ۙ

12‘O John!’ [We said,] ‘Hold on with power to the Book!’ And We gave him judgement while still a child,

وَّحَنَانًا مِّنْ لَّدُنَّا وَزَكٰوةًؕ وَكَانَ تَقِيًّا ۝١٣ۙ

13and a compassion and purity from Us. He was Godwary

وَّبَرًّاۢ بِوَالِدَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ جَبَّارًا عَصِيًّا ۝١٤

14and good to his parents, and was not self-willed or disobedient.

وَسَلٰمٌ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ وُلِدَ وَيَوْمَ يَمُوْتُ وَيَوْمَ يُبْعَثُ حَيًّا ۝١٥ࣖ

15Peace be to him, the day he was born, and the day he dies, and the day he is raised alive!

وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتٰبِ مَرْيَمَۘ اِذِ انْتَبَذَتْ مِنْ اَهْلِهَا مَكَانًا شَرْقِيًّا ۝١٦ۙ

16And mention in the Book Mary, when she withdrew from her family to an easterly place.

فَاتَّخَذَتْ مِنْ دُوْنِهِمْ حِجَابًاࣞࣕ فَاَرْسَلْنَا͏ٓ اِلَيْهَا رُوْحَنَا فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهَا بَشَرًا سَوِيًّا ۝١٧

17Thus did she seclude herself from them, whereupon We sent to her Our Spirit and he became incarnate for her as a well-proportioned human.

قَالَتْ اِنِّيْٓ اَعُوْذُ بِالرَّحْمٰنِ مِنْكَ اِنْ كُنْتَ تَقِيًّا ۝١٨

18She said, ‘I seek the protection of the All-beneficent from you, should you be Godwary!’

قَالَ اِنَّمَا͏ٓ اَنَا رَسُوْلُ رَبِّكِࣗۖ لِاَهَبَ لَكِ غُلٰمًا زَكِيًّا ۝١٩

19He said, ‘I am only a messenger of your Lord that I may give you a pure son.’

قَالَتْ اَنّٰي يَكُوْنُ لِيْ غُلٰمٌ وَّلَمْ يَمْسَسْنِيْ بَشَرٌ وَّلَمْ اَكُ بَغِيًّا ۝٢٠

20She said, ‘How shall I have a child seeing that no human being has ever touched me, nor have I been unchaste?’

قَالَ كَذٰلِكِۚ قَالَ رَبُّكِ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٌۚ وَلِنَجْعَلَهٗٓ اٰيَةً لِّلنَّاسِ وَرَحْمَةً مِّنَّاۚ وَكَانَ اَمْرًا مَّقْضِيًّا ۝٢١

21He said, ‘So shall it be. Your Lord says, ‘‘It is simple for Me.’’ And so that We may make him a sign for mankind and a mercy from Us, and it is a matter [already] decided.’

فَحَمَلَتْهُ فَانْتَبَذَتْ بِهٖ مَكَانًا قَصِيًّا ۝٢٢

22Thus she conceived him, then withdrew with him to a distant place.

فَاَجَا࢜ءَهَا الْمَخَاضُ اِلٰي جِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِۚ قَالَتْ يٰلَيْتَنِيْ مِتُّ قَبْلَ هٰذَا وَكُنْتُ نَسْيًا مَّنْسِيًّا ۝٢٣

23The birth pangs brought her to the trunk of a date palm. She said, ‘I wish I had died before this and become a forgotten thing, beyond recall.’

فَنَادٰىهَا مِنْ تَحْتِهَا͏ٓ اَلَّا تَحْزَنِيْ قَدْ جَعَلَ رَبُّكِ تَحْتَكِ سَرِيًّا ۝٢٤

24Thereupon he called her from below her [saying,] ‘Do not grieve! Your Lord has made a spring to flow at your feet.

وَهُزِّيْٓ اِلَيْكِ بِجِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ تُسٰقِطْ عَلَيْكِ رُطَبًا جَنِيًّا ۝٢٥ؗ

25Shake the trunk of the palm tree, freshly picked dates will drop upon you.

فَكُلِيْ وَاشْرَبِيْ وَقَرِّيْ عَيْنًاۚ فَاِمَّا تَرَيِنَّ مِنَ الْبَشَرِ اَحَدًاۙ فَقُوْلِيْٓ اِنِّيْ نَذَرْتُ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ صَوْمًا فَلَنْ اُكَلِّمَ الْيَوْمَ اِنْسِيًّا ۝٢٦ۚ

26Eat, drink, and be comforted. Then if you see any human, say, ‘‘Indeed I have vowed a fast to the All-beneficent, so I will not speak to any human today.’’ ’

فَاَتَتْ بِهٖ قَوْمَهَا تَحْمِلُهٗؕ قَالُوْا يٰمَرْيَمُ لَقَدْ جِي͏ٔ͏ْتِ شَيْـًٔا فَرِيًّا ۝٢٧

27Then carrying him she brought him to her people. They said, ‘O Mary, you have certainly come up with an odd thing!

يٰٓاُخْتَ هٰرُوْنَ مَا كَانَ اَبُوْكِ امْرَاَ سَوْءٍ وَّمَا كَانَتْ اُمُّكِ بَغِيًّا ۝٢٨ۖۚ

28O sister of Aaron[’s lineage]! Your father was not an evil man, nor was your mother unchaste.’

فَاَشَارَتْ اِلَيْهِؕ قَالُوْا كَيْفَ نُكَلِّمُ مَنْ كَانَ فِي الْمَهْدِ صَبِيًّا ۝٢٩

29Thereat she pointed to him. They said, ‘How can we speak to one who is yet a baby in the cradle?’

قَالَ اِنِّيْ عَبْدُ اللّٰهِࣞؕ اٰتٰىنِيَ الْكِتٰبَ وَجَعَلَنِيْ نَبِيًّا ۝٣٠ۙ

30He said, ‘Indeed I am a servant of Allah! He has given me the Book and made me a prophet.

وَّجَعَلَنِيْ مُبٰرَكًا اَيْنَ مَا كُنْتُࣕ وَاَوْصٰنِيْ بِالصَّلٰوةِ وَالزَّكٰوةِ مَا دُمْتُ حَيًّا ۝٣١ࣕۖ

31He has made me blessed, wherever I may be, and He has enjoined me to [maintain] the prayer and to [pay] the zakat as long as I live,

وَّبَرًّاۢ بِوَالِدَتِيْؗ وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْنِيْ جَبَّارًا شَقِيًّا ۝٣٢

32and to be good to my mother, and He has not made me self-willed and wretched.

وَالسَّلٰمُ عَلَيَّ يَوْمَ وُلِدْتُّ وَيَوْمَ اَمُوْتُ وَيَوْمَ اُبْعَثُ حَيًّا ۝٣٣

33Peace to me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I am raised alive.’

ذٰلِكَ عِيْسَي ابْنُ مَرْيَمَۚ قَوْلَ الْحَقِّ الَّذِيْ فِيْهِ يَمْتَرُوْنَ ۝٣٤

34That is Jesus, son of Mary, a Word of the Real concerning whom they are in doubt.

مَا كَانَ لِلّٰهِ اَنْ يَّتَّخِذَ مِنْ وَّلَدٍۙ سُبْحٰنَهٗؕ اِذَا قَضٰٓي اَمْرًا فَاِنَّمَا يَقُوْلُ لَهٗ كُنْ فَيَكُوْنُ ۝٣٥ؕ

35It is not for Allah to take a son. Immaculate is He! When He decides on a matter, He just says to it, ‘Be!’ and it is.

وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ رَبِّيْ وَرَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوْهُؕ هٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِيْمٌ ۝٣٦

36[And Jesus said,] ‘Indeed Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him. This is a straight path.’

فَاخْتَلَفَ الْاَحْزَابُ مِنْۢ بَيْنِهِمْۚ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ مَّشْهَدِ يَوْمٍ عَظِيْمٍ ۝٣٧

37But the factions differed among themselves. So woe to the faithless at the scene of a tremendous day.

اَسْمِعْ بِهِمْ وَاَبْصِرْۙ يَوْمَ يَاْتُوْنَنَا لٰكِنِ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ الْيَوْمَ فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيْنٍ ۝٣٨

38How well they will hear and how well they will see on the day when they come to Us! But today the wrongdoers are in manifest error.

وَاَنْذِرْهُمْ يَوْمَ الْحَسْرَةِ اِذْ قُضِيَ الْاَمْرُۘ وَهُمْ فِيْ غَفْلَةٍ وَّهُمْ لَا يُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنُوْنَ ۝٣٩

39Warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be decided, while they are [yet] heedless and do not have faith.

اِنَّا نَحْنُ نَرِثُ الْاَرْضَ وَمَنْ عَلَيْهَا وَاِلَيْنَا يُرْجَعُوْنَ ۝٤٠ࣖ

40Indeed We shall inherit the earth and whoever there is on it, and to Us they shall be brought back.

وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتٰبِ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ࣢ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ صِدِّيْقًا نَّبِيًّا ۝٤١

41And mention in the Book Abraham. Indeed, he was a truthful man and a prophet.

اِذْ قَالَ لِاَبِيْهِ يٰٓاَبَتِ لِمَ تَعْبُدُ مَا لَا يَسْمَعُ وَلَا يُبْصِرُ وَلَا يُغْنِيْ عَنْكَ شَيْـًٔا ۝٤٢

42When he said to his father, ‘Father! Why do you worship that which neither hears nor sees, and is of no avail to you in any way?

يٰٓاَبَتِ اِنِّيْ قَدْ جَا࢜ءَنِيْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ مَا لَمْ يَاْتِكَ فَاتَّبِعْنِيْٓ اَهْدِكَ صِرَاطًا سَوِيًّا ۝٤٣

43Father! Indeed a knowledge has already come to me, which has not come to you. So follow me that I may guide you to a right path.

يٰٓاَبَتِ لَا تَعْبُدِ الشَّيْطٰنَؕ اِنَّ الشَّيْطٰنَ كَانَ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ عَصِيًّا ۝٤٤

44Father! Do not worship Satan. Indeed Satan is disobedient to the All-beneficent.

يٰٓاَبَتِ اِنِّيْٓ اَخَافُ اَنْ يَّمَسَّكَ عَذَابٌ مِّنَ الرَّحْمٰنِ فَتَكُوْنَ لِلشَّيْطٰنِ وَلِيًّا ۝٤٥

45Father! I am indeed afraid that a punishment from the All-beneficent will befall you, and you will become Satan’s accomplice.’

قَالَ اَرَاغِبٌ اَنْتَ عَنْ اٰلِهَتِيْ يٰٓاِبْرٰهِيْمُۚ لَىِٕنْ لَّمْ تَنْتَهِ لَاَرْجُمَنَّكَ وَاهْجُرْنِيْ مَلِيًّا ۝٤٦

46He said, ‘Abraham! Are you renouncing my gods? If you do not desist, I will stone you. Get away from me for a long while.’

قَالَ سَلٰمٌ عَلَيْكَۚ سَاَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكَ رَبِّيْؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ بِيْ حَفِيًّا ۝٤٧

47He said, ‘Peace be to you! I shall plead with my Lord to forgive you. Indeed, He is gracious to me.

وَاَعْتَزِلُكُمْ وَمَا تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَاَدْعُوْا رَبِّيْؗۖ عَسٰٓي اَلَّا͏ٓ اَكُوْنَ بِدُعَا࢜ءِ رَبِّيْ شَقِيًّا ۝٤٨

48I dissociate myself from you and whatever you invoke besides Allah. I will supplicate my Lord. Hopefully, I will not be disappointed in supplicating my Lord.’

فَلَمَّا اعْتَزَلَهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِۙ وَهَبْنَا لَهٗٓ اِسْحٰقَ وَيَعْقُوْبَؕ وَكُلًّا جَعَلْنَا نَبِيًّا ۝٤٩

49So when he had left them and what they worshipped besides Allah, We gave him Isaac and Jacob, and each We made a prophet.

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ رَّحْمَتِنَا وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ عَلِيًّا ۝٥٠ࣖ

50And We gave them out of Our mercy, and conferred on them a worthy and lofty repute.

وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتٰبِ مُوْسٰٓيؗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ مُخْلَصًا وَّكَانَ رَسُوْلًا نَّبِيًّا ۝٥١

51And mention in the Book Moses. Indeed he was exclusively dedicated [to Allah], and an apostle and prophet.

وَنَادَيْنٰهُ مِنْ جَانِبِ الطُّوْرِ الْاَيْمَنِ وَقَرَّبْنٰهُ نَجِيًّا ۝٥٢

52We called him from the right side of the Mount and We drew him near [to Ourselves] for confidential discourse.

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهٗ مِنْ رَّحْمَتِنَا͏ٓ اَخَاهُ هٰرُوْنَ نَبِيًّا ۝٥٣

53And We gave him out of Our mercy his brother Aaron, a prophet.

وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتٰبِ اِسْمٰعِيْلَؗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ صَادِقَ الْوَعْدِ وَكَانَ رَسُوْلًا نَّبِيًّا ۝٥٤ۚ

54And mention in the Book Ishmael. Indeed, he was true to his promise, and an apostle and prophet.

وَكَانَ يَاْمُرُ اَهْلَهٗ بِالصَّلٰوةِ وَالزَّكٰوةِࣕ وَكَانَ عِنْدَ رَبِّهٖ مَرْضِيًّا ۝٥٥

55He used to bid his family to [maintain] the prayer and to [pay] the zakat, and was pleasing to his Lord.

وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتٰبِ اِدْرِيْسَؗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ صِدِّيْقًا نَّبِيًّا ۝٥٦ࣗۙ

56And mention in the Book Idrees. Indeed, he was a truthful one and a prophet,

وَّرَفَعْنٰهُ مَكَانًا عَلِيًّا ۝٥٧

57and We raised him to an exalted station.

اُولٰ࢜ىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ اَنْعَمَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِّنَ النَّبِيّٖنَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ اٰدَمَࣗ وَمِمَّنْ حَمَلْنَا مَعَ نُوْحٍؗ وَّمِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ وَاِسْرَا࢜ءِيْلَؗ وَمِمَّنْ هَدَيْنَا وَاجْتَبَيْنَاؕ اِذَا تُتْلٰي عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتُ الرَّحْمٰنِ خَرُّوْا سُجَّدًا وَّبُكِيًّا ۝٥٨ࣛ

58They are the ones whom Allah has blessed from among the prophets of Adam’s progeny, and from [the progeny of] those We carried with Noah, and from among the progeny of Abraham and Israel, and from among those that We guided and chose. When the signs of the All-beneficent were recited to them, they would fall down weeping in prostration.

فَخَلَفَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ اَضَاعُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاتَّبَعُوا الشَّهَوٰتِ فَسَوْفَ يَلْقَوْنَ غَيًّا ۝٥٩ۙ

59But they were succeeded by an evil posterity who neglected the prayer, and followed [their base] appetites. So they will soon encounter [the reward of] perversity,

اِلَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَاٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَاُولٰ࢜ىِٕكَ يَدْخُلُوْنَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَا يُظْلَمُوْنَ شَيْـًٔا ۝٦٠ۙ

60barring those who repent, believe, and act righteously. Such will enter paradise, and they will not be wronged in the least.

جَنّٰتِ عَدْنِ اࣙلَّتِيْ وَعَدَ الرَّحْمٰنُ عِبَادَهٗ بِالْغَيْبِؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ وَعْدُهٗ مَاْتِيًّا ۝٦١

61Gardens of Eden promised by the All-beneficent to His servants, [while they were still] unseen. Indeed His promise is bound to come to pass.

لَا يَسْمَعُوْنَ فِيْهَا لَغْوًا اِلَّا سَلٰمًاؕ وَلَهُمْ رِزْقُهُمْ فِيْهَا بُكْرَةً وَّعَشِيًّا ۝٦٢

62Therein they will not hear vain talk, but only ‘Peace!’ Therein they will have their provision morning and evening.

تِلْكَ الْجَنَّةُ الَّتِيْ نُوْرِثُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا مَنْ كَانَ تَقِيًّا ۝٦٣

63This is the paradise We will give as inheritance to those of Our servants who are Godwary.

وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ اِلَّا بِاَمْرِ رَبِّكَۚ لَهٗ مَا بَيْنَ اَيْدِيْنَا وَمَا خَلْفَنَا وَمَا بَيْنَ ذٰلِكَۚ وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ نَسِيًّا ۝٦٤ۚ

64[O Gabriel, tell the Prophet,] ‘We do not descend except by the command of your Lord. To Him belongs whatever is before us and whatever is behind us and whatever is in between that, and your Lord does not forget

رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَاعْبُدْهُ وَاصْطَبِرْ لِعِبَادَتِهٖؕ هَلْ تَعْلَمُ لَهٗ سَمِيًّا ۝٦٥ࣖ

65—the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. So worship Him and be steadfast in His worship. Do you know anyone who could be His namesake?’

وَيَقُوْلُ الْاِنْسَانُ ءَاِذَا مَا مِتُّ لَسَوْفَ اُخْرَجُ حَيًّا ۝٦٦

66Man says, ‘What? Shall I be brought forth alive [from the grave], when I have been dead?’

اَوَلَا يَذْكُرُ الْاِنْسَانُ اَنَّا خَلَقْنٰهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلَمْ يَكُ شَيْـًٔا ۝٦٧

67Does not man remember that We created him before when he was nothing?

فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَحْشُرَنَّهُمْ وَالشَّيٰطِيْنَ ثُمَّ لَنُحْضِرَنَّهُمْ حَوْلَ جَهَنَّمَ جِثِيًّا ۝٦٨ۚ

68By your Lord, We will surely gather them with the devils; then We will surely bring them up around hell [scrambling] on their knees.

ثُمَّ لَنَنْزِعَنَّ مِنْ كُلِّ شِيْعَةٍ اَيُّهُمْ اَشَدُّ عَلَي الرَّحْمٰنِ عِتِيًّا ۝٦٩ۚ

69Then from every group We shall draw whichever of them was more defiant towards the All-beneficent.

ثُمَّ لَنَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ اَوْلٰي بِهَا صِلِيًّا ۝٧٠

70Then surely We will know best those who deserve most to enter it.

وَاِنْ مِّنْكُمْ اِلَّا وَارِدُهَاۚ كَانَ عَلٰي رَبِّكَ حَتْمًا مَّقْضِيًّا ۝٧١ۚ

71There is none of you but will come to it: a [matter that is a] decided certainty with your Lord.

ثُمَّ نُنَجِّي الَّذِيْنَ اتَّقَوْا وَّنَذَرُ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ فِيْهَا جِثِيًّا ۝٧٢

72Then We will deliver those who are Godwary, and leave the wrongdoers in it, fallen on their knees.

وَاِذَا تُتْلٰي عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتُنَا بَيِّنٰتٍ قَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لِلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓاۙ اَيُّ الْفَرِيْقَيْنِ خَيْرٌ مَّقَامًا وَّاَحْسَنُ نَدِيًّا ۝٧٣

73When Our manifest signs are recited to them, the faithless say to the faithful, ‘Which of the two groups is superior in station and better with respect to company?’

وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنْ قَرْنٍ هُمْ اَحْسَنُ اَثَاثًا وَّرِءْيًا ۝٧٤

74How many a generation We have destroyed before them, who were superior in furnishings and appearance!

قُلْ مَنْ كَانَ فِي الضَّلٰلَةِ فَلْيَمْدُدْ لَهُ الرَّحْمٰنُ مَدًّا࣢ۚ حَتّٰٓي اِذَا رَاَوْا مَا يُوْعَدُوْنَ اِمَّا الْعَذَابَ وَاِمَّا السَّاعَةَؕ فَسَيَعْلَمُوْنَ مَنْ هُوَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَّاَضْعَفُ جُنْدًا ۝٧٥

75Say, ‘Whoever abides in error, the All-beneficent shall prolong his respite until they sight what they have been promised: either punishment, or the Hour.’ Then they will know whose position is worse, and whose host is weaker.

وَيَزِيْدُ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْنَ اهْتَدَوْا هُدًيؕ وَالْبٰقِيٰتُ الصّٰلِحٰتُ خَيْرٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَّخَيْرٌ مَّرَدًّا ۝٧٦

76Allah enhances in guidance those who are [rightly] guided, and lasting righteous deeds are better with your Lord in reward, and better at the return [to Allah].

اَفَرَءَيْتَ الَّذِيْ كَفَرَ بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَقَالَ لَاُوْتَيَنَّ مَالًا وَّوَلَدًا ۝٧٧ؕ

77Have you not regarded him who defies Our signs, and says, ‘I will surely be given wealth and children’?

اَطَّلَعَ الْغَيْبَ اَمِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمٰنِ عَهْدًا ۝٧٨ۙ

78Has he come to know the Unseen, or taken a promise from the All-beneficent?

كَلَّاؕ سَنَكْتُبُ مَا يَقُوْلُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهٗ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ مَدًّا ۝٧٩ۙ

79No indeed! We will write down what he says, and We will prolong his punishment endlessly.

وَّنَرِثُهٗ مَا يَقُوْلُ وَيَاْتِيْنَا فَرْدًا ۝٨٠

80We shall take over from him what he talks about, and he will come to Us alone.

وَاتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اٰلِهَةً لِّيَكُوْنُوْا لَهُمْ عِزًّا ۝٨١ۙ

81They have taken gods besides Allah that they may be a [source of] might to them.

كَلَّاؕ سَيَكْفُرُوْنَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ وَيَكُوْنُوْنَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضِدًّا ۝٨٢ࣖ

82No Indeed! Soon they will disown their worship, and they will be their opponents.

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّا͏ٓ اَرْسَلْنَا الشَّيٰطِيْنَ عَلَي الْكٰفِرِيْنَ تَو͏ٔ͏ُزُّهُمْ اَزًّا ۝٨٣ۙ

83Have you not regarded that We unleash the devils upon the faithless to urge them vigorously?

فَلَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَيْهِمْؕ اِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمْ عَدًّا ۝٨٤ۚ

84So do not make haste against them; indeed We are counting for them, a counting [down].

يَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ اِلَي الرَّحْمٰنِ وَفْدًا ۝٨٥ۙ

85The day We shall gather the Godwary toward the All-beneficent, on mounts,

وَّنَسُوْقُ الْمُجْرِمِيْنَ اِلٰي جَهَنَّمَ وِرْدًا ۝٨٦ۘ

86and drive the guilty as a thirsty herd towards hell,

لَا يَمْلِكُوْنَ الشَّفَاعَةَ اِلَّا مَنِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمٰنِ عَهْدًا ۝٨٧ۘ

87no one will have the power to intercede [with Allah], except for him who has taken a covenant with the All-beneficent.

وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمٰنُ وَلَدًا ۝٨٨ؕ

88They say, ‘The All-beneficent has taken a son!’

لَقَدْ جِي͏ٔ͏ْتُمْ شَيْـًٔا اِدًّا ۝٨٩ۙ

89You have certainly advanced something hideous!

تَكَادُ السَّمٰوٰتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنْشَقُّ الْاَرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ الْجِبَالُ هَدًّا ۝٩٠ۙ

90The heavens are about to be rent apart at it, the earth to split open, and the mountains to collapse into bits,

اَنْ دَعَوْا لِلرَّحْمٰنِ وَلَدًا ۝٩١ۚ

91that they should ascribe a son to the All-beneficent!

وَمَا يَنۢ͏ْبَغِيْ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ اَنْ يَّتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا ۝٩٢ؕ

92It does not behoove the All-beneficent to take a son.

اِنْ كُلُّ مَنْ فِي السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ اِلَّا͏ٓ اٰتِي الرَّحْمٰنِ عَبْدًا ۝٩٣ؕ

93There is none in the heavens and the earth but he comes to the All-beneficent as a servant.

لَقَدْ اَحْصٰىهُمْ وَعَدَّهُمْ عَدًّا ۝٩٤ؕ

94Certainly He has counted them [all] and numbered them precisely,

وَكُلُّهُمْ اٰتِيْهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ فَرْدًا ۝٩٥

95and each of them will come to Him alone on the Day of Resurrection.

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ سَيَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ الرَّحْمٰنُ وُدًّا ۝٩٦

96Indeed those who have faith and do righteous deeds—the All-beneficent will endear them [to His creation].

فَاِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ وَتُنْذِرَ بِهٖ قَوْمًا لُّدًّا ۝٩٧

97Indeed We have made it simple in your language so that you may give good news thereby to the Godwary and warn with it a disputatious lot.

وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنْ قَرْنٍؕ هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُمْ مِّنْ اَحَدٍ اَوْ تَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ رِكْزًا ۝٩٨ࣖ

98How many a generation We have destroyed before them! Can you descry any one of them, or hear from them so much as a murmur?
