وَاِنّ۪ي خِفْتُ الْمَوَالِيَ مِنْ وَرَٓاء۪ي وَكَانَتِ امْرَاَت۪ي عَاقِراً فَهَبْ ل۪ي مِنْ لَدُنْكَ وَلِياًّۚ

Wa-innee khiftu almawaliya min wara-eewakanati imraatee AAaqiran fahab lee min ladunkawaliyya

Yarithunee wayarithu min ali yaAAqoobawajAAalhu rabbi radiyya

to be my inheritor and the inheritor of the family of Ya‘qub, and make him, my Lord, pleasing to You. ’

قَالَ كَذٰلِكَۚ قَالَ رَبُّكَ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٌ وَقَدْ خَلَقْتُكَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلَمْ تَكُ شَيْـٔاً

Qala kathalika qalarabbuka huwa AAalayya hayyinun waqad khalaqtuka min qablu walamtaku shay-a

He said, ‘It will be so! Your Lord says, "That is easy for Me to do. I created you before, when you were not anything."’

قَالَ رَبِّ اجْعَلْ ل۪ٓي اٰيَةًۜ قَالَ اٰيَتُكَ اَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ النَّاسَ ثَلٰثَ لَيَالٍ سَوِياًّ

Fakharaja AAala qawmihi mina almihrabifaawha ilayhim an sabbihoo bukratan waAAashiyya

Ya yahya khuthialkitaba biquwwatin waataynahu alhukmasabiyya

Wahananan min ladunnawazakatan wakana taqiyya

وَبَراًّ بِوَالِدَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ جَبَّاراً عَصِياًّ

Wabarran biwalidayhi walam yakun jabbaranAAasiyya

Wasalamun AAalayhi yawma wulidawayawma yamootu wayawma yubAAathu hayya

Peace be upon him the day he was born, and the day he dies, and the day he is raised up again alive.

Fattakhathat min doonihim hijabanfaarsalna ilayha roohanafatamaththala laha basharan sawiyya

and veiled herself from them. Then We sent Our Ruh to her and it took on for her the form of a handsome, well-built man.

فَحَمَلَتْهُ فَانْتَبَذَتْ بِه۪ مَكَاناً قَصِياًّ

Fahamalat-hu fantabathatbihi makanan qasiyya

So she conceived him and withdrew with him to a distant place.

فَاَجَٓاءَهَا الْمَخَاضُ اِلٰى جِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِۚ قَالَتْ يَا لَيْتَن۪ي مِتُّ قَبْلَ هٰذَا وَكُنْتُ نَسْياً مَنْسِياًّ

Faajaaha almakhadu ilajithAAi annakhlati qalat ya laytaneemittu qabla hatha wakuntu nasyan mansiyya

Wahuzzee ilayki bijithAAi annakhlatitusaqit AAalayki rutaban janiyya

Shake the trunk of the palm towards you and fresh, ripe dates will drop down onto you.

فَكُل۪ي وَاشْرَب۪ي وَقَرّ۪ي عَيْناًۚ فَاِمَّا تَرَيِنَّ مِنَ الْبَشَرِ اَحَداًۙ فَقُول۪ٓي اِنّ۪ي نَذَرْتُ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ صَوْماً فَلَنْ اُكَلِّمَ الْيَوْمَ اِنْسِياًّۚ

Fakulee washrabee waqarree AAaynanfa-imma tarayinna mina albashari ahadan faqooleeinnee nathartu lirrahmani sawmanfalan okallima alyawma insiyya

Eat and drink and delight your eyes. If you should see anyone at all, just say, "I have made a vow of abstinence to the All-Merciful and today I will not speak to any human being."’

فَاَتَتْ بِه۪ قَوْمَهَا تَحْمِلُهُۜ قَالُوا يَا مَرْيَمُ لَقَدْ جِئْتِ شَيْـٔاً فَرِياًّ

Faatat bihi qawmaha tahmiluhuqaloo ya maryamu laqad ji/ti shay-an fariyya

Sister of Harun, your father was not an evil man nor was your mother an unchaste woman!’

Faasharat ilayhi qaloo kayfanukallimu man kana fee almahdi sabiyya

She pointed towards him. They said, ‘How can a baby in the cradle speak?’

Qala innee AAabdu Allahi ataniyaalkitaba wajaAAalanee nabiyya

He said, ‘I am the slave of Allah, He has given me the Book and made me a Prophet.

WajaAAalanee mubarakan aynamakuntu waawsanee bissalati wazzakatima dumtu hayya

He has made me blessed wherever I am and directed me to do salat and give zakat as long as I live,

Wassalamu AAalayya yawmawulidtu wayawma amootu wayawma obAAathu hayya

Peace be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die and the day I am raised up again alive. ’

ذٰلِكَ ع۪يسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَۚ قَوْلَ الْحَقِّ الَّذ۪ي ف۪يهِ يَمْتَرُونَ

Thalika AAeesa ibnu maryamaqawla alhaqqi allathee feehi yamtaroon

That is ‘Isa, son of Maryam, the word of truth about which they are in doubt.

مَا كَانَ لِلّٰهِ اَنْ يَتَّخِذَ مِنْ وَلَدٍۙ سُبْحَانَهُۜ اِذَا قَضٰٓى اَمْراً فَاِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُۜ

Ma kana lillahi anyattakhitha min waladin subhanahu itha qadaamran fa-innama yaqoolu lahu kun fayakoon

It is not fitting for Allah to have a son. Glory be to Him! When He decides on something, He just says to it, ‘Be!’ and it is.

وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ رَبّ۪ي وَرَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوهُۜ هٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُسْتَق۪يمٌ

Wa-inna Allaha rabbee warabbukum faAAbudoohuhatha siratun mustaqeem

‘Allah is my Lord and your Lord so worship Him. This is a straight path.’

فَاخْتَلَفَ الْاَحْزَابُ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْۚ فَوَيْلٌ لِلَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ مَشْهَدِ يَوْمٍ عَظ۪يمٍ

Fakhtalafa al-ahzabumin baynihim fawaylun lillatheena kafaroo min mashhadiyawmin AAatheem

The parties differed among themselves. Woe to those who are kafir when they are present on a terrible Day!

اَسْمِعْ بِهِمْ وَاَبْصِرْۙ يَوْمَ يَأْتُونَنَاۚ لٰكِنِ الظَّالِمُونَ الْيَوْمَ ف۪ي ضَلَالٍ مُب۪ينٍ

AsmiAA bihim waabsir yawma ya/toonanalakini aththalimoona alyawmafee dalalin mubeen

How clear will be their hearing, how perfect their sight, on the Day they come to Us; whereas today the wrongdoers are clearly misguided.

وَاَنْذِرْهُمْ يَوْمَ الْحَسْرَةِ اِذْ قُضِيَ الْاَمْرُۚ وَهُمْ ف۪ي غَفْلَةٍ وَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

Waanthirhum yawma alhasrati ithqudiya al-amru wahum fee ghaflatin wahum layu/minoon

Warn them of the Day of Bitter Regret when the affair will be resolved. But they take no notice. They have no iman.

اِنَّا نَحْنُ نَرِثُ الْاَرْضَ وَمَنْ عَلَيْهَا وَاِلَيْنَا يُرْجَعُونَ۟

Inna nahnu narithu al-ardawaman AAalayha wa-ilayna yurjaAAoon

It is We who will inherit the earth and all those on it. They will be returned to Us.

Ith qala li-abeehi yaabati lima taAAbudu ma la yasmaAAu wala yubsiruwala yughnee AAanka shay-a

Remember when he said to his father, ‘Father, why do you worship what can neither hear nor see and is not of any use to you at all?

يَٓا اَبَتِ اِنّ۪ي قَدْ جَٓاءَن۪ي مِنَ الْعِلْمِ مَا لَمْ يَأْتِكَ فَاتَّبِعْن۪ٓي اَهْدِكَ صِرَاطاً سَوِياًّ

Ya abati innee qad jaanee minaalAAilmi ma lam ya/tika fattabiAAnee ahdika siratansawiyya

Father, knowledge which never reached you has come to me, so follow me and I will guide you to the right path.

Father, do not worship Shaytan. Shaytan was disobedient to the All-Merciful.

Ya abati innee akhafu anyamassaka AAathabun mina arrahmanifatakoona lishshyatani waliyya

Father, I am afraid that a punishment from the All-Merciful will afflict you, and turn you into a comrade of Shaytan. ’

قَالَ اَرَاغِبٌ اَنْتَ عَنْ اٰلِهَت۪ي يَٓا اِبْرٰه۪يمُۚ لَئِنْ لَمْ تَنْتَهِ۬ لَاَرْجُمَنَّكَ وَاهْجُرْن۪ي مَلِياًّ

WaaAAtazilukum wama tadAAoona mindooni Allahi waadAAoo rabbee AAasa allaakoona biduAAa-i rabbee shaqiyya

I will separate myself from you and all you call upon besides Allah and I will call upon my Lord. It may well be that, in calling on my Lord, I will not be disappointed.’

فَلَمَّا اعْتَزَلَهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِۙ وَهَبْنَا لَـهُٓ اِسْحٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَۜ وَكُلاًّ جَعَلْنَا نَبِياًّ

Those are some of the Prophets Allah has blessed, from the descendants of Adam and from those We carried with Nuh, and from the descendants of Ibrahim and Isra’il and from those We guided and chose. When the Signs of the All-Merciful were recited to them they fell on their faces, weeping, in prostration.

فَخَلَفَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ اَضَاعُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاتَّبَعُوا الشَّهَوَاتِ فَسَوْفَ يَلْقَوْنَ غَياًّۙ

Fakhalafa min baAAdihim khalfun adaAAooassalata wattabaAAoo ashshahawatifasawfa yalqawna ghayya

An evil generation succeeded them who neglected the salat and followed their appetites. They will plunge into the Valley of Evil –

اِلَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَاٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحاً فَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ شَيْـٔاًۙ

جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍۨ الَّت۪ي وَعَدَ الرَّحْمٰنُ عِبَادَهُ بِالْغَيْبِۜ اِنَّهُ كَانَ وَعْدُهُ مَأْتِياًّ

Rabbu assamawati wal-ardiwama baynahuma faAAbudhu wastabirliAAibadatihi hal taAAlamu lahu samiyya

He is Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything in between them, so worship Him and persevere in His worship. Do you know of any other with His Name?

Awa la yathkuru al-insanuanna khalaqnahu min qablu walam yaku shay-a

Does not man recall that We created him before when he was not anything?

فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَحْشُرَنَّهُمْ وَالشَّيَاط۪ينَ ثُمَّ لَنُحْضِرَنَّهُمْ حَوْلَ جَهَنَّمَ جِثِياًّۚ

Fawarabbika lanahshurannahum washshayateenathumma lanuhdirannahum hawla jahannama jithiyya

By your Lord, We will collect them and the shaytans together. Then We will assemble them around Hell on their knees.

ثُمَّ لَنَنْزِعَنَّ مِنْ كُلِّ ش۪يعَةٍ اَيُّهُمْ اَشَدُّ عَلَى الرَّحْمٰنِ عِتِياًّۚ

Thumma lananziAAanna min kulli sheeAAatinayyuhum ashaddu AAala arrahmaniAAitiyya

Then We will drag out from every sect the one among them most insolent towards the All-Merciful.

ثُمَّ لَنَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِالَّذ۪ينَ هُمْ اَوْلٰى بِهَا صِلِياًّ

Thumma lanahnu aAAlamu billatheenahum awla biha siliyya

Then it is We who will know best those most deserving to roast in it.

وَاِنْ مِنْكُمْ اِلَّا وَارِدُهَاۚ كَانَ عَلٰى رَبِّكَ حَتْماً مَقْضِياًّۚ

Wa-in minkum illa wariduhakana AAala rabbika hatman maqdiyya

There is not one of you who will not come to it. That is the final decision of your Lord.

ثُمَّ نُنَجِّي الَّذ۪ينَ اتَّقَوْا وَنَذَرُ الظَّالِم۪ينَ ف۪يهَا جِثِياًّ

Thumma nunajjee allatheena ittaqawwanatharu aththalimeena feehajithiyya

Then We will rescue those who had taqwa and We will leave the wrongdoers in it on their knees.

وَاِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيَاتُنَا بَيِّنَاتٍ قَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا لِلَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُٓواۙ اَيُّ الْفَر۪يقَيْنِ خَيْرٌ مَقَاماً وَاَحْسَنُ نَدِياًّ

Wa-itha tutla AAalayhim ayatunabayyinatin qala allatheena kafaroo lillatheenaamanoo ayyu alfareeqayni khayrun maqaman waahsanunadiyya

When Our Clear Signs are recited to them, those who are kafir say to those who have iman, ‘Which of the two parties has the better position and the more illustrious gathering?’

وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِنْ قَرْنٍ هُمْ اَحْسَنُ اَثَاثاً وَرِءْياً

Wakam ahlakna qablahum min qarnin humahsanu athathan wari/ya

How many generations We have destroyed before them who had finer furnishings and a better outward show!

قُلْ مَنْ كَانَ فِي الضَّلَالَةِ فَلْيَمْدُدْ لَهُ الرَّحْمٰنُ مَداًّۚ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا رَاَوْا مَا يُوعَدُونَ اِمَّا الْعَذَابَ وَاِمَّا السَّاعَةَۜ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ هُوَ شَرٌّ مَكَاناً وَاَضْعَفُ جُنْداً

Qul man kana fee addalalatifalyamdud lahu arrahmanu maddan hattaitha raaw ma yooAAadoona imma alAAathabawa-imma assaAAata fasayaAAlamoona man huwasharrun makanan waadAAafu junda

Say: ‘As for those who are astray, let the All-Merciful prolong their term until they see what they were promised, whether it be the punishment or the Hour. Then they will know who is in the worse position and has the weaker troops.’

وَيَز۪يدُ اللّٰهُ الَّذ۪ينَ اهْتَدَوْا هُدًىۜ وَالْبَاقِيَاتُ الصَّالِحَاتُ خَيْرٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَاباً وَخَيْرٌ مَرَداًّ

Wayazeedu Allahu allatheenaihtadaw hudan walbaqiyatu assalihatukhayrun AAinda rabbika thawaban wakhayrun maradda

Allah augments those who are guided by giving them greater guidance. In your Lord’s sight, right actions which are lasting are better both in reward and end result.

اَفَرَاَيْتَ الَّذ۪ي كَفَرَ بِاٰيَاتِنَا وَقَالَ لَاُو۫تَيَنَّ مَالاً وَوَلَداًۜ

Afaraayta allathee kafara bi-ayatinawaqala laootayanna malan wawalada

Have you seen him who rejects Our Signs and says, ‘I will certainly be given wealth and children there. ’

اَطَّـلَعَ الْغَيْبَ اَمِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمٰنِ عَهْداًۙ

AttalaAAa alghayba ami ittakhathaAAinda arrahmani AAahda

Has he surveyed the Unseen or has he a contract with the All-Merciful?

كَلَّاۜ سَنَكْتُبُ مَا يَقُولُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهُ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ مَداًّۙ

Kalla sanaktubu ma yaqooluwanamuddu lahu mina alAAathabi madda

No indeed! We will write down what he says and prolong the punishment for him.

وَنَرِثُهُ مَا يَقُولُ وَيَأْت۪ينَا فَرْداً

Wanarithuhu ma yaqoolu waya/teenafarda

We will inherit from him the things he is talking about and he will come to Us all alone.

وَاتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ اٰلِهَةً لِيَكُونُوا لَهُمْ عِزاًّۙ

Wattakhathoo min dooni Allahialihatan liyakoonoo lahum AAizza

They have taken other gods besides Allah to be a source of power and strength for them!

كَلَّاۜ سَيَكْفُرُونَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضِداًّ۟

Kalla sayakfuroona biAAibadatihimwayakoonoona AAalayhim didda

No indeed! They will reject their worship and will be opposed to them.

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّٓا اَرْسَلْنَا الشَّيَاط۪ينَ عَلَى الْكَافِر۪ينَ تَؤُزُّهُمْ اَزاًّۙ

Alam tara anna arsalna ashshayateenaAAala alkafireena taozzuhum azza

Do you not see that We send the shaytans against those who are kafir to goad them on?

فَلَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَيْهِمْۜ اِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمْ عَداًّۚ

Fala taAAjal AAalayhim innamanaAAuddu lahum AAadda

So do not try to hasten their punishment. We are simply counting out the number of their days.

يَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ الْمُتَّق۪ينَ اِلَى الرَّحْمٰنِ وَفْداًۙ

Yawma nahshuru almuttaqeena ilaarrahmani wafda

On that Day We will gather those who have taqwa to the All-Merciful with due ceremony.

وَنَسُوقُ الْمُجْرِم۪ينَ اِلٰى جَهَنَّمَ وِرْداًۢ

Wanasooqu almujrimeena ila jahannamawirda

But We will drive the evildoers to Hell, like cattle to a watering hole.

لَا يَمْلِكُونَ الشَّفَاعَةَ اِلَّا مَنِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمٰنِ عَهْداًۢ

La yamlikoona ashshafaAAatailla mani ittakhatha AAinda arrahmaniAAahda

They have no right of intercession. None do but those who have a contract with the All-Merciful.

وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمٰنُ وَلَداًۜ

Waqaloo ittakhatha arrahmanuwalada

They say, ‘The All-Merciful has a son. ’

لَقَدْ جِئْتُمْ شَيْـٔاً اِداًّۙ

Laqad ji/tum shay-an idda

They have devised a monstrous thing.

تَكَادُ السَّمٰوَاتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنْشَقُّ الْاَرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ الْجِبَالُ هَداًّۙ

Takadu assamawatuyatafattarna minhu watanshaqqu al-ardu watakhirrualjibalu hadda

The heavens are all but rent apart and the earth split open and the mountains brought crashing down,

اَنْ دَعَوْا لِلرَّحْمٰنِ وَلَداًۚ

An daAAaw lirrahmaniwalada

at their ascription of a son to the All-Merciful!

وَمَا يَنْبَغ۪ي لِلرَّحْمٰنِ اَنْ يَتَّخِذَ وَلَداًۜ

Wama yanbaghee lirrahmanian yattakhitha walada

It is not fitting for the All-Merciful to have a son.

اِنْ كُلُّ مَنْ فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ اِلَّٓا اٰتِي الرَّحْمٰنِ عَبْداًۜ

In kullu man fee assamawatiwal-ardi illa atee arrahmaniAAabda

There is no one in the heavens and earth who will not come to the All-Merciful as a slave.

لَقَدْ اَحْصٰيهُمْ وَعَدَّهُمْ عَداًّۜ

Laqad ahsahum waAAaddahum AAadda

He has counted them and numbered them precisely.

وَكُلُّهُمْ اٰت۪يهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ فَرْداً

Wakulluhum ateehi yawma alqiyamatifarda

Each of them will come to Him on the Day of Rising all alone.

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ سَيَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ الرَّحْمٰنُ وُداًّ

Inna allatheena amanoowaAAamiloo assalihati sayajAAalu lahumu arrahmanuwudda

As for those who have iman and do right actions, the All-Merciful will bestow His love on them.

فَاِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَاهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ الْمُتَّق۪ينَ وَتُنْذِرَ بِه۪ قَوْماً لُداًّ

Fa-innama yassarnahu bilisanikalitubashshira bihi almuttaqeena watunthira bihi qawmanludda

We have made it easy on your tongue so that you can give good news to those who have taqwa and warn stubbornly hostile people by it.

وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِنْ قَرْنٍۜ هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ اَحَدٍ اَوْ تَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ رِكْزاً

Wakam ahlakna qablahum min qarnin haltuhissu minhum min ahadin aw tasmaAAu lahum rikza

How many generations We have destroyed before them! Do you see a trace of any one of them or hear even a whisper of them?
