Surah Maryam

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيم

In the name of Allah, the most compassionate, most merciful

كهيعص ﴿1﴾

Kāf. Hā. Yā. ‘Ayn. Ṣād.

ذِكْرُ رَحْمَتِ رَبِّكَ عَبْدَهُ زَكَرِيَّا ﴿2﴾

[This verse is] a reminder of your Lord’s mercy on His servant, Zachariah.

إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُ نِدَاءً خَفِيًّا ﴿3﴾

When he prayed to his Lord quietly.

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي وَهَنَ الْعَظْمُ مِنِّي وَاشْتَعَلَ الرَّأْسُ شَيْبًا وَلَمْ أَكُن بِدُعَائِكَ رَبِّ شَقِيًّا ﴿4﴾

He said, “O my Lord! My bones have grown feeble and old age whitened my hair, [but] I have never been unblessed in my prayer to You].”

وَإِنِّي خِفْتُ الْمَوَالِيَ مِن وَرَائِي وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَتِي عَاقِرًا فَهَبْ لِي مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيًّا ﴿5﴾

Indeed, I am fearful of my relatives [lest they deviate your religion] and my wife is barren, so grant me an heir from Yourself.

يَرِثُنِي وَيَرِثُ مِنْ آلِ يَعْقُوبَ ۖ وَاجْعَلْهُ رَبِّ رَضِيًّا ﴿6﴾

[ An heir who] inherits from me and the family of Jacob. O my Lord! make him, well-pleasing.”

يَا زَكَرِيَّا إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلَامٍ اسْمُهُ يَحْيَىٰ لَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُ مِن قَبْلُ سَمِيًّا ﴿7﴾

O Zachariah! Indeed, We give you good news of a son whose name is John and We have not given this name to anyone before.

قَالَ رَبِّ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِي غُلَامٌ وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَتِي عَاقِرًا وَقَدْ بَلَغْتُ مِنَ الْكِبَرِ عِتِيًّا ﴿8﴾

He said, “How can I have a son while my wife is barren and I have approached my old age!”

قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ قَالَ رَبُّكَ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٌ وَقَدْ خَلَقْتُكَ مِن قَبْلُ وَلَمْ تَكُ شَيْئًا ﴿9﴾

He said, “Thus”. Your Lord said, “It is easy to Me and I have created you before, while you were nothing.”

قَالَ رَبِّ اجْعَل لِّي آيَةً ۚ قَالَ آيَتُكَ أَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ النَّاسَ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ سَوِيًّا ﴿10﴾

He said “O my Lord! Give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you will be unable to speak to people for three nights although you are sound.”

فَخَرَجَ عَلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ مِنَ الْمِحْرَابِ فَأَوْحَىٰ إِلَيْهِمْ أَن سَبِّحُوا بُكْرَةً وَعَشِيًّا ﴿11﴾

He came out of his worshipping place and signaled to them that they should glorify Him in the morning and evening.

يَا يَحْيَىٰ خُذِ الْكِتَابَ بِقُوَّةٍ ۖ وَآتَيْنَاهُ الْحُكْمَ صَبِيًّا ﴿12﴾

“O John hold the book firmly1” and We gave him judgment while he was a child.

وَحَنَانًا مِّن لَّدُنَّا وَزَكَاةً ۖ وَكَانَ تَقِيًّا ﴿13﴾

And [We had provided him with] compassion and purity from us and he was pious.

وَبَرًّا بِوَالِدَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَكُن جَبَّارًا عَصِيًّا ﴿14﴾

And he was kind with his parents and he was not rebellious and disobedient.

وَسَلَامٌ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ وُلِدَ وَيَوْمَ يَمُوتُ وَيَوْمَ يُبْعَثُ حَيًّا ﴿15﴾

Peace be on him [John] when he was born and when he died and when he will be raised alive.

وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ مَرْيَمَ إِذِ انتَبَذَتْ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا مَكَانًا شَرْقِيًّا ﴿16﴾

And mention Mary in your Book when she left her family secluded in the eastern place.

فَاتَّخَذَتْ مِن دُونِهِمْ حِجَابًا فَأَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْهَا رُوحَنَا فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهَا بَشَرًا سَوِيًّا ﴿17﴾

She was secluded from them, then We sent Our Spirit to her and he appeared to her in the form of a perfect man.

قَالَتْ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِالرَّحْمَـٰنِ مِنكَ إِن كُنتَ تَقِيًّا ﴿18﴾

She said, “I seek refuge from you in the All-Compassionate if you are pious.”

قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَنَا رَسُولُ رَبِّكِ لِأَهَبَ لَكِ غُلَامًا زَكِيًّا ﴿19﴾

He replied, “[Do not worry!] I am only your Lord’s messenger, [I am here] to grant on you a pure son.”

قَالَتْ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِي غُلَامٌ وَلَمْ يَمْسَسْنِي بَشَرٌ وَلَمْ أَكُ بَغِيًّا ﴿20﴾

She said, “How can I have a son while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste”

قَالَ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٌ ۖ وَلِنَجْعَلَهُ آيَةً لِّلنَّاسِ وَرَحْمَةً مِّنَّا ۚ وَكَانَ أَمْرًا مَّقْضِيًّا ﴿21﴾

He said, “Thus will it be. Your Lord says, “It is easy for me, and We will make him a sign for people and Our mercy; and the matter has been made.”

فَحَمَلَتْهُ فَانتَبَذَتْ بِهِ مَكَانًا قَصِيًّا ﴿22﴾

So she conceived him and went with him to [a complete seclusion] somewhere far away.

فَأَجَاءَهَا الْمَخَاضُ إِلَىٰ جِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ قَالَتْ يَا لَيْتَنِي مِتُّ قَبْلَ هَـٰذَا وَكُنتُ نَسْيًا مَّنسِيًّا ﴿23﴾

So the pain of childbirth made her go to a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before and I had been completely forgotten.”

فَنَادَاهَا مِن تَحْتِهَا أَلَّا تَحْزَنِي قَدْ جَعَلَ رَبُّكِ تَحْتَكِ سَرِيًّا ﴿24﴾

So He called her from below her “Do not grieve. Indeed, your Lord has made a stream under your feet”

وَهُزِّي إِلَيْكِ بِجِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ تُسَاقِطْ عَلَيْكِ رُطَبًا جَنِيًّا ﴿25﴾

And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards yourself, the ripe dates will drop on you.

فَكُلِي وَاشْرَبِي وَقَرِّي عَيْنًا ۖ فَإِمَّا تَرَيِنَّ مِنَ الْبَشَرِ أَحَدًا فَقُولِي إِنِّي نَذَرْتُ لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ صَوْمًا فَلَنْ أُكَلِّمَ الْيَوْمَ إِنسِيًّا ﴿26﴾

So eat, drink and be delightful, so if you see any human being say [to them] that I have vowed to fast for the All-Compassionate, so I shall never speak to any human today.

فَأَتَتْ بِهِ قَوْمَهَا تَحْمِلُهُ ۖ قَالُوا يَا مَرْيَمُ لَقَدْ جِئْتِ شَيْئًا فَرِيًّا ﴿27﴾

She brought him to her people and they said, “O Mary! You have come with an amazing thing.”

يَا أُخْتَ هَارُونَ مَا كَانَ أَبُوكِ امْرَأَ سَوْءٍ وَمَا كَانَتْ أُمُّكِ بَغِيًّا ﴿28﴾

O the Chaste Girl1! Your father was not an evil man nor was your mother an unchaste woman.

فَأَشَارَتْ إِلَيْهِ ۖ قَالُوا كَيْفَ نُكَلِّمُ مَن كَانَ فِي الْمَهْدِ صَبِيًّا ﴿29﴾

Then she pointed to him,2 they replied, “How could we speak to one who is yet a baby in the cradle?”

قَالَ إِنِّي عَبْدُ اللَّـهِ آتَانِيَ الْكِتَابَ وَجَعَلَنِي نَبِيًّا ﴿30﴾

He said, “I am God’s servant. He provided me with the Book and appointed me as a messenger.

وَجَعَلَنِي مُبَارَكًا أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُ وَأَوْصَانِي بِالصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ مَا دُمْتُ حَيًّا ﴿31﴾

And He made me blessed wherever I am and He enjoined me to [perform] prayer and [give] zakat as long as I live.

وَبَرًّا بِوَالِدَتِي وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْنِي جَبَّارًا شَقِيًّا ﴿32﴾

And to be dutiful to my mother, and He did not make me rebellious and wretched.

وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَيَّ يَوْمَ وُلِدتُّ وَيَوْمَ أَمُوتُ وَيَوْمَ أُبْعَثُ حَيًّا ﴿33﴾

And peace be on me the day I was born and the day I die and the day I will be raised alive.”

ذَٰلِكَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ ۚ قَوْلَ الْحَقِّ الَّذِي فِيهِ يَمْتَرُونَ ﴿34﴾

That was Jesus, son of Mary, a word of truth which they doubt.

مَا كَانَ لِلَّـهِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ مِن وَلَدٍ ۖ سُبْحَانَهُ ۚ إِذَا قَضَىٰ أَمْرًا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ ﴿35﴾

God does not take a child for Himself. He is Glorified. When He wills to perform a deed He only says to it ,“Be” and then it is.

وَإِنَّ اللَّـهَ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوهُ ۚ هَـٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ ﴿36﴾

And indeed, God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. This is a straight path.

فَاخْتَلَفَ الْأَحْزَابُ مِن بَيْنِهِمْ ۖ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِن مَّشْهَدِ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ ﴿37﴾

Yet the groups differed among themselves, woe to the disbelievers at the meeting of a Tremendous Day.

أَسْمِعْ بِهِمْ وَأَبْصِرْ يَوْمَ يَأْتُونَنَا ۖ لَـٰكِنِ الظَّالِمُونَ الْيَوْمَ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ ﴿38﴾

On the Day when they will come to us how well they will see and hear: yet the wrongdoers, today, are in glaring error.

وَأَنذِرْهُمْ يَوْمَ الْحَسْرَةِ إِذْ قُضِيَ الْأَمْرُ وَهُمْ فِي غَفْلَةٍ وَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿39﴾

And warn them about the Day of Regret when the matter will be accomplished, yet they are neglectful and they do not believe.

إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَرِثُ الْأَرْضَ وَمَنْ عَلَيْهَا وَإِلَيْنَا يُرْجَعُونَ ﴿40﴾

And indeed, We will inherit the earth and what exists on the earth and they will be returned to Us.

وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ صِدِّيقًا نَّبِيًّا ﴿41﴾

And mention [about] Abraham in the Book indeed he was truthful, a messenger.

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ يَا أَبَتِ لِمَ تَعْبُدُ مَا لَا يَسْمَعُ وَلَا يُبْصِرُ وَلَا يُغْنِي عَنكَ شَيْئًا ﴿42﴾

When he said to his father, “O my father! Why do you worship [ the idols] which neither hears nor sees, nor can it fulfill your needs in any way.”

يَا أَبَتِ إِنِّي قَدْ جَاءَنِي مِنَ الْعِلْمِ مَا لَمْ يَأْتِكَ فَاتَّبِعْنِي أَهْدِكَ صِرَاطًا سَوِيًّا ﴿43﴾

“O my father! I have been provided with knowledge that you have not received, so follow me to guide you to the straight path.”

يَا أَبَتِ لَا تَعْبُدِ الشَّيْطَانَ ۖ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ كَانَ لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ عَصِيًّا ﴿44﴾

O my father! Do not worship Satan. Indeed, Satan disobeyed AllCompassionate.

يَا أَبَتِ إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَن يَمَسَّكَ عَذَابٌ مِّنَ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ فَتَكُونَ لِلشَّيْطَانِ وَلِيًّا ﴿45﴾

O my father! I fear that you receive a punishment from the AllCompassionate, such that you will become Satan’s accomplice.

قَالَ أَرَاغِبٌ أَنتَ عَنْ آلِهَتِي يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ ۖ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ لَأَرْجُمَنَّكَ ۖ وَاهْجُرْنِي مَلِيًّا ﴿46﴾

He said, “O Abraham! Have you abandoned my gods? If you do not give up [your belief], I will stone you [to death] and take leave of me for a long time”.

قَالَ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكَ ۖ سَأَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكَ رَبِّي ۖ إِنَّهُ كَانَ بِي حَفِيًّا ﴿47﴾

He said, “Peace be on you, I will pray to my Lord for your forgiveness. Indeed, He has been gracious to me.

وَأَعْتَزِلُكُمْ وَمَا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّـهِ وَأَدْعُو رَبِّي عَسَىٰ أَلَّا أَكُونَ بِدُعَاءِ رَبِّي شَقِيًّا ﴿48﴾

And I leave you and that which you worshipped beside God. And I pray to my Lord; it may be that in praying to my Lord, I will not be wretched.”

فَلَمَّا اعْتَزَلَهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّـهِ وَهَبْنَا لَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ ۖ وَكُلًّا جَعَلْنَا نَبِيًّا ﴿49﴾

Then when he abandoned them and what they worshipped instead of God, We bestowed on him Isaac, Jacob, and each of them We made a Prophet.

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُم مِّن رَّحْمَتِنَا وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ عَلِيًّا ﴿50﴾

And We granted them from Our mercy and We granted them a high and good reputation.

وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ مُوسَىٰ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ مُخْلَصًا وَكَانَ رَسُولًا نَّبِيًّا ﴿51﴾

And mention[about] Moses in the Book. Indeed, he was [sincerely] devoted1 and he was a messenger, a Prophet.

وَنَادَيْنَاهُ مِن جَانِبِ الطُّورِ الْأَيْمَنِ وَقَرَّبْنَاهُ نَجِيًّا ﴿52﴾

And We call him from the right side of [the mount of] Ṭūr to draw him closer in a secret conversation.

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ مِن رَّحْمَتِنَا أَخَاهُ هَارُونَ نَبِيًّا ﴿53﴾

And We bestowed on him his brother Aaron, a messenger of Our mercy, [to help him].

وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ صَادِقَ الْوَعْدِ وَكَانَ رَسُولًا نَّبِيًّا ﴿54﴾

And mention Ishmael in the Book. Indeed, he was true to the promise, and he was a messenger, a Prophet.

وَكَانَ يَأْمُرُ أَهْلَهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ وَكَانَ عِندَ رَبِّهِ مَرْضِيًّا ﴿55﴾

He used to enjoin his people to [perform] prayer, [give] zakat, and God was pleased with him.

وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ إِدْرِيسَ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ صِدِّيقًا نَّبِيًّا ﴿56﴾

And mention Idrīs in the Book. Indeed, he was truthful, a Prophet.

وَرَفَعْنَاهُ مَكَانًا عَلِيًّا ﴿57﴾

And We raised him to a high [spiritual] position.

أُولَـٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّـهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ النَّبِيِّينَ مِن ذُرِّيَّةِ آدَمَ وَمِمَّنْ حَمَلْنَا مَعَ نُوحٍ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ وَمِمَّنْ هَدَيْنَا ۩ وَاجْتَبَيْنَا ۚ إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ خَرُّوا سُجَّدًا وَبُكِيًّا ﴿58﴾

They were among the messengers whom God blessed; they were from the children of Adam; of those whom We carried in the ship with Noah, of the children of Abraham and Israel, of those whom We guided and chose. [They were very humble and submissive to God, so] when the signs of the All-Beneficent were recited to them, they prostrated, cried.

فَخَلَفَ مِن بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ أَضَاعُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَاتَّبَعُوا الشَّهَوَاتِ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَلْقَوْنَ غَيًّا ﴿59﴾

A generation came after them that disregarded the prayer and followed their worldly desires, so they will meet [the outcome of their] transgression.

إِلَّا مَن تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَأُولَـٰئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ شَيْئًا ﴿60﴾

Except those who repent and believe, and perform good deeds, so they will enter the heaven and they will not be wronged at all:

جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ الَّتِي وَعَدَ الرَّحْمَـٰنُ عِبَادَهُ بِالْغَيْبِ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ وَعْدُهُ مَأْتِيًّا ﴿61﴾

The All-Compassionate [God] has promised His servants in the Unseen to Grant the Garden of Eden. Indeed, His promise will be fulfilled.

لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا إِلَّا سَلَامًا ۖ وَلَهُمْ رِزْقُهُمْ فِيهَا بُكْرَةً وَعَشِيًّا ﴿62﴾

They will not hear any vain [and foul] word therein and they only hear “Peace” and they will have their provisions mornings and evenings.

تِلْكَ الْجَنَّةُ الَّتِي نُورِثُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا مَن كَانَ تَقِيًّا ﴿63﴾

It is the Garden which We will bequeath to Our servants who are pious.

وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ إِلَّا بِأَمْرِ رَبِّكَ ۖ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا وَمَا خَلْفَنَا وَمَا بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ ۚ وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ نَسِيًّا ﴿64﴾

We only come down with your Lord’s command. Whatever is before and behind us and whatever is between them belong to Him, and your Lord does not forget.

رَّبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَاعْبُدْهُ وَاصْطَبِرْ لِعِبَادَتِهِ ۚ هَلْ تَعْلَمُ لَهُ سَمِيًّا ﴿65﴾

He is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, so worship Him and exercise patience in His worship. Do you know, “Who can be named alongside Him?

وَيَقُولُ الْإِنسَانُ أَإِذَا مَا مِتُّ لَسَوْفَ أُخْرَجُ حَيًّا ﴿66﴾

And human beings say, “Will I be given a [new] life when I die?”

أَوَلَا يَذْكُرُ الْإِنسَانُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُ مِن قَبْلُ وَلَمْ يَكُ شَيْئًا ﴿67﴾

Does mankind not remember that We had created him while he was nothing before!

فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَحْشُرَنَّهُمْ وَالشَّيَاطِينَ ثُمَّ لَنُحْضِرَنَّهُمْ حَوْلَ جَهَنَّمَ جِثِيًّا ﴿68﴾

And by God We will gather them along with Satan, then We will bring them around Hell on their knees.

ثُمَّ لَنَنزِعَنَّ مِن كُلِّ شِيعَةٍ أَيُّهُمْ أَشَدُّ عَلَى الرَّحْمَـٰنِ عِتِيًّا ﴿69﴾

Then We will bring out [the wrongdoers] from every sect to see which of them were more rebellious against the AllCompassionate?

ثُمَّ لَنَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِالَّذِينَ هُمْ أَوْلَىٰ بِهَا صِلِيًّا ﴿70﴾

Then We will surely know best who deserves to be burned therein [ in Hell].

وَإِن مِّنكُمْ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَا ۚ كَانَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ حَتْمًا مَّقْضِيًّا ﴿71﴾

You will all enter it and it is a certain decision which your Lord has made.

ثُمَّ نُنَجِّي الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوا وَّنَذَرُ الظَّالِمِينَ فِيهَا جِثِيًّا ﴿72﴾

Then we save the pious, and leave the wrongdoers kneeling therein, on their knees.

وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُنَا بَيِّنَاتٍ قَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَيُّ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ خَيْرٌ مَّقَامًا وَأَحْسَنُ نَدِيًّا ﴿73﴾

And when Our manifest signs were recited to them, the disbelievers said to the believers, “Which of these two groups: [yours our ours] has the ideal position and better company?”

وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْنٍ هُمْ أَحْسَنُ أَثَاثًا وَرِئْيًا ﴿74﴾

And how many a generation [of wrongdoers] We destroyed before them who were better in possessions and appearance!

قُلْ مَن كَانَ فِي الضَّلَالَةِ فَلْيَمْدُدْ لَهُ الرَّحْمَـٰنُ مَدًّا ۚ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا رَأَوْا مَا يُوعَدُونَ إِمَّا الْعَذَابَ وَإِمَّا السَّاعَةَ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ هُوَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَأَضْعَفُ جُندًا ﴿75﴾

Say, “Whoever is in error, the All- Beneficent provides him with respite [to live] until they see what they have been promised, either punishment [in the world] or [punishment] in the Day of Judgment, so they will know whose position is evil and whose army is weaker!

وَيَزِيدُ اللَّـهُ الَّذِينَ اهْتَدَوْا هُدًى ۗ وَالْبَاقِيَاتُ الصَّالِحَاتُ خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ مَّرَدًّا ﴿76﴾

And God increases the guidance of the guided with further guidance, and the good deeds1 which endure are better in reward and better in return2 with your Lord.

أَفَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي كَفَرَ بِآيَاتِنَا وَقَالَ لَأُوتَيَنَّ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا ﴿77﴾

Have you considered the one who disbelieved in Our signs and said, “I will be given [abundant] wealth and [many] children.”

أَطَّلَعَ الْغَيْبَ أَمِ اتَّخَذَ عِندَ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ عَهْدًا ﴿78﴾

[How can he make such a judgment?] Are they aware of the unseen or have they made a covenant with the All-Beneficent [to have such a position?]

كَلَّا ۚ سَنَكْتُبُ مَا يَقُولُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهُ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ مَدًّا ﴿79﴾

Never! We will record what he says and We will prolong for him the [heavy] punishment [for their lies and disbelief].

وَنَرِثُهُ مَا يَقُولُ وَيَأْتِينَا فَرْدًا ﴿80﴾

And We will inherit what he says and he will come to Us alone!

وَاتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِ اللَّـهِ آلِهَةً لِّيَكُونُوا لَهُمْ عِزًّا ﴿81﴾

And they worshipped gods instead of God, in order that these gods would be [a means of honor and] power for them.

كَلَّا ۚ سَيَكْفُرُونَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضِدًّا ﴿82﴾

Never! They [ the idols] will disavow their worship and they will oppose them.

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا الشَّيَاطِينَ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ تَؤُزُّهُمْ أَزًّا ﴿83﴾

Have you not considered that We have sent the devils to the disbelievers to incite them ?

فَلَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَيْهِمْ ۖ إِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمْ عَدًّا ﴿84﴾

So do not hurry against them, indeed, We count a number3 for them.

يَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ الْمُتَّقِينَ إِلَى الرَّحْمَـٰنِ وَفْدًا ﴿85﴾

When We will gather all of the pious to the All-Compassionate.

وَنَسُوقُ الْمُجْرِمِينَ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ وِرْدًا ﴿86﴾

And We will drive the guilty [like a thirsty herd] towards Hell.

لَّا يَمْلِكُونَ الشَّفَاعَةَ إِلَّا مَنِ اتَّخَذَ عِندَ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ عَهْدًا ﴿87﴾

And they have no power of intercession except the one who has made a covenant with God.

وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَلَدًا ﴿88﴾

And they said, “God took a child”.

لَّقَدْ جِئْتُمْ شَيْئًا إِدًّا ﴿89﴾

You uttered a blatant word indeed.

تَكَادُ السَّمَاوَاتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنشَقُّ الْأَرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ الْجِبَالُ هَدًّا ﴿90﴾

It is about to tear the heavens, break the earth and cause the mountains to collapse.

أَن دَعَوْا لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ وَلَدًا ﴿91﴾

That they ascribed son to the All- Compassionate.

وَمَا يَنبَغِي لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا ﴿92﴾

It is not fitting to the All- Compassionate to have a child.

إِن كُلُّ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ إِلَّا آتِي الرَّحْمَـٰنِ عَبْدًا ﴿93﴾

All existence in the heavens and on the earth come as a servant for the All-Compassionate.

لَّقَدْ أَحْصَاهُمْ وَعَدَّهُمْ عَدًّا ﴿94﴾

And indeed, He has taken account exactly and numbered them.

وَكُلُّهُمْ آتِيهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَرْدًا ﴿95﴾

And each of them will come to Him on the Day of Judgment, alone.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ سَيَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ الرَّحْمَـٰنُ وُدًّا ﴿96﴾

Indeed, those who have belief and perform good deeds, the AllCompassionate will ordain for them love.

فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَاهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ الْمُتَّقِينَ وَتُنذِرَ بِهِ قَوْمًا لُّدًّا ﴿97﴾

Indeed, We make it easy for your tongue so that you [can] give good news with it to the pious and warn the stubborn.

وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْنٍ هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ أَوْ تَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ رِكْزًا ﴿98﴾

And Indeed, how many a generation before them We destroyed. Do you see any of them around or do hear from them a murmur?
