Maryam

1 Kaf, Ha, Ya, 'Ayn, Sad.

1 KafhayaAAaynsad

2 [This is] a mention of the mercy of your Lord to His servant Zechariah

2 Thikru rahmati rabbika AAabdahu zakariyya

3 When he called to his Lord a private supplication.

3 Ith nada rabbahu nidaan khafiyyan

4 He said, "My Lord, indeed my bones have weakened, and my head has filled with white, and never have I been in my supplication to You, my Lord, unhappy.

4 Qala rabbi innee wahana alAAathmu minnee waishtaAAala alrrasu shayban walam akun biduAAaika rabbi shaqiyyan

5 And indeed, I fear the successors after me, and my wife has been barren, so give me from Yourself an heir

5 Wainnee khiftu almawaliya min waraee wakanati imraatee AAaqiran fahab lee min ladunka waliyyan

6 Who will inherit me and inherit from the family of Jacob. And make him, my Lord, pleasing [to You]."

6 Yarithunee wayarithu min ali yaAAqooba waijAAalhu rabbi radiyyan

7 [He was told], "O Zechariah, indeed We give you good tidings of a boy whose name will be John. We have not assigned to any before [this] name."

7 Ya zakariyya inna nubashshiruka bighulamin ismuhu yahya lam najAAal lahu min qablu samiyyan

8 He said, "My Lord, how will I have a boy when my wife has been barren and I have reached extreme old age?"

8 Qala rabbi anna yakoonu lee ghulamun wakanati imraatee AAaqiran waqad balaghtu mina alkibari AAitiyyan

9 [An angel] said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, for I created you before, while you were nothing.' "

9 Qala kathalika qala rabbuka huwa AAalayya hayyinun waqad khalaqtuka min qablu walam taku shayan

10 [Zechariah] said, "My Lord, make for me a sign." He said, "Your sign is that you will not speak to the people for three nights, [being] sound."

10 Qala rabbi ijAAal lee ayatan qala ayatuka alla tukallima alnnasa thalatha layalin sawiyyan

11 So he came out to his people from the prayer chamber and signaled to them to exalt [Allah] in the morning and afternoon.

11 Fakharaja AAala qawmihi mina almihrabi faawha ilayhim an sabbihoo bukratan waAAashiyyan

12 [Allah] said, "O John, take the Scripture with determination." And We gave him judgement [while yet] a boy

12 Ya yahya khuthi alkitaba biquwwatin waataynahu alhukma sabiyyan

13 And affection from Us and purity, and he was fearing of Allah

13 Wahananan min ladunna wazakatan wakana taqiyyan

14 And dutiful to his parents, and he was not a disobedient tyrant.

14 Wabarran biwalidayhi walam yakun jabbaran AAasiyyan

15 And peace be upon him the day he was born and the day he dies and the day he is raised alive.

15 Wasalamun AAalayhi yawma wulida wayawma yamootu wayawma yubAAathu hayyan

16 And mention, [O Muhammad], in the Book [the story of] Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place toward the east.

16 Waothkur fee alkitabi maryama ithi intabathat min ahliha makanan sharqiyyan

17 And she took, in seclusion from them, a screen. Then We sent to her Our Angel, and he represented himself to her as a well - proportioned man.

17 Faittakhathat min doonihim hijaban faarsalna ilayha roohana fatamaththala laha basharan sawiyyan

18 She said, "Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, [so leave me], if you should be fearing of Allah."

18 Qalat innee aAAoothu bialrrahmani minka in kunta taqiyyan

19 He said, "I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy."

19 Qala innama ana rasoolu rabbiki liahaba laki ghulaman zakiyyan

20 She said, "How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste?"

20 Qalat anna yakoonu lee ghulamun walam yamsasnee basharun walam aku baghiyyan

21 He said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter [already] decreed.' "

21 Qala kathaliki qala rabbuki huwa AAalayya hayyinun walinajAAalahu ayatan lilnnasi warahmatan minna wakana amran maqdiyyan

22 So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a remote place.

22 Fahamalathu faintabathat bihi makanan qasiyyan

23 And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She said, "Oh, I wish I had died before this and was in oblivion, forgotten."

23 Faajaaha almakhadu ila jithAAi alnnakhlati qalat ya laytanee mittu qabla hatha wakuntu nasyan mansiyyan

24 But he called her from below her, "Do not grieve; your Lord has provided beneath you a stream.

24 Fanadaha min tahtiha alla tahzanee qad jaAAala rabbuki tahtaki sariyyan

25 And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates.

25 Wahuzzee ilayki bijithAAi alnnakhlati tusaqit AAalayki rutaban janiyyan

26 So eat and drink and be contented. And if you see from among humanity anyone, say, 'Indeed, I have vowed to the Most Merciful abstention, so I will not speak today to [any] man.' "

26 Fakulee waishrabee waqarree AAaynan faimma tarayinna mina albashari ahadan faqoolee innee nathartu lilrrahmani sawman falan okallima alyawma insiyyan

27 Then she brought him to her people, carrying him. They said, "O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented.

27 Faatat bihi qawmaha tahmiluhu qaloo ya maryamu laqad jiti shayan fariyyan

28 O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste."

28 Ya okhta haroona ma kana abooki imraa sawin wama kanat ommuki baghiyyan

29 So she pointed to him. They said, "How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?"

29 Faasharat ilayhi qaloo kayfa nukallimu man kana fee almahdi sabiyyan

30 [Jesus] said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet.

30 Qala innee AAabdu Allahi ataniya alkitaba wajaAAalanee nabiyyan

31 And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and zakah as long as I remain alive

31 WajaAAalanee mubarakan ayna ma kuntu waawsanee bialssalati waalzzakati ma dumtu hayyan

32 And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant.

32 Wabarran biwalidatee walam yajAAalnee jabbaran shaqiyyan

33 And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive."

33 Waalssalamu AAalayya yawma wulidtu wayawma amootu wayawma obAAathu hayyan

34 That is Jesus, the son of Mary - the word of truth about which they are in dispute.

34 Thalika AAeesa ibnu maryama qawla alhaqqi allathee feehi yamtaroona

35 It is not [befitting] for Allah to take a son; exalted is He! When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, "Be," and it is.

35 Ma kana lillahi an yattakhitha min waladin subhanahu itha qada amran fainnama yaqoolu lahu kun fayakoonu

36 [Jesus said], "And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path."

36 Wainna Allaha rabbee warabbukum faoAAbudoohu hatha siratun mustaqeemun

37 Then the factions differed [concerning Jesus] from among them, so woe to those who disbelieved - from the scene of a tremendous Day.

37 Faikhtalafa alahzabu min baynihim fawaylun lillatheena kafaroo min mashhadi yawmin AAatheemin

38 How [clearly] they will hear and see the Day they come to Us, but the wrongdoers today are in clear error.

38 AsmiAA bihim waabsir yawma yatoonana lakini alththalimoona alyawma fee dalalin mubeenin

39 And warn them, [O Muhammad], of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded; and [yet], they are in [a state of] heedlessness, and they do not believe.

39 Waanthirhum yawma alhasrati ith qudiya alamru wahum fee ghaflatin wahum la yuminoona

40 Indeed, it is We who will inherit the earth and whoever is on it, and to Us they will be returned.

40 Inna nahnu narithu alarda waman AAalayha wailayna yurjaAAoona

41 And mention in the Book [the story of] Abraham. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet.

41 Waothkur fee alkitabi ibraheema innahu kana siddeeqan nabiyyan

42 [Mention] when he said to his father, "O my father, why do you worship that which does not hear and does not see and will not benefit you at all?

42 Ith qala liabeehi ya abati lima taAAbudu ma la yasmaAAu wala yubsiru wala yughnee AAanka shayan

43 O my father, indeed there has come to me of knowledge that which has not come to you, so follow me; I will guide you to an even path.

43 Ya abati innee qad jaanee mina alAAilmi ma lam yatika faittabiAAnee ahdika siratan sawiyyan

44 O my father, do not worship Satan. Indeed Satan has ever been, to the Most Merciful, disobedient.

44 Ya abati la taAAbudi alshshaytana inna alshshaytana kana lilrrahmani AAasiyyan

45 O my father, indeed I fear that there will touch you a punishment from the Most Merciful so you would be to Satan a companion [in Hellfire]."

45 Ya abati innee akhafu an yamassaka AAathabun mina alrrahmani fatakoona lilshshyatani waliyyan

46 [His father] said, "Have you no desire for my gods, O Abraham? If you do not desist, I will surely stone you, so avoid me a prolonged time."

46 Qala araghibun anta AAan alihatee ya ibraheemu lain lam tantahi laarjumannaka waohjurnee maliyyan

47 [Abraham] said, "Peace will be upon you. I will ask forgiveness for you of my Lord. Indeed, He is ever gracious to me.

47 Qala salamun AAalayka saastaghfiru laka rabbee innahu kana bee hafiyyan

48 And I will leave you and those you invoke other than Allah and will invoke my Lord. I expect that I will not be in invocation to my Lord unhappy."

48 WaaAAtazilukum wama tadAAoona min dooni Allahi waadAAoo rabbee AAasa alla akoona biduAAai rabbee shaqiyyan

49 So when he had left them and those they worshipped other than Allah, We gave him Isaac and Jacob, and each [of them] We made a prophet.

49 Falamma iAAtazalahum wama yaAAbudoona min dooni Allahi wahabna lahu ishaqa wayaAAqooba wakullan jaAAalna nabiyyan

50 And We gave them of Our mercy, and we made for them a reputation of high honor.

50 Wawahabna lahum min rahmatina wajaAAalna lahum lisana sidqin AAaliyyan

51 And mention in the Book, Moses. Indeed, he was chosen, and he was a messenger and a prophet.

51 Waothkur fee alkitabi moosa innahu kana mukhlasan wakana rasoolan nabiyyan

52 And We called him from the side of the mount at [his] right and brought him near, confiding [to him].

52 Wanadaynahu min janibi alttoori alaymani waqarrabnahu najiyyan

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

53 Wawahabna lahu min rahmatina akhahu haroona nabiyyan

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

54 Waothkur fee alkitabi ismaAAeela innahu kana sadiqa alwaAAdi wakana rasoolan nabiyyan

55 And he used to enjoin on his people prayer and zakah and was to his Lord pleasing.

55 Wakana yamuru ahlahu bialssalati waalzzakati wakana AAinda rabbihi mardiyyan

56 And mention in the Book, Idrees. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet.

56 Waothkur fee alkitabi idreesa innahu kana siddeeqan nabiyyan

57 And We raised him to a high station.

57 WarafaAAnahu makanan AAaliyyan

58 Those were the ones upon whom Allah bestowed favor from among the prophets of the descendants of Adam and of those We carried [in the ship] with Noah, and of the descendants of Abraham and Israel, and of those whom We guided and chose. When the verses of the Most Merciful were recited to them, they fell in prostration and weeping.

58 Olaika allatheena anAAama Allahu AAalayhim mina alnnabiyyeena min thurriyyati adama wamimman hamalna maAAa noohin wamin thurriyyati ibraheema waisraeela wamimman hadayna waijtabayna itha tutla AAalayhim ayatu alrrahmani kharroo sujjadan wabukiyyan

59 But there came after them successors who neglected prayer and pursued desires; so they are going to meet evil -

59 Fakhalafa min baAAdihim khalfun adaAAoo alssalata waittabaAAoo alshshahawati fasawfa yalqawna ghayyan

60 Except those who repent, believe and do righteousness; for those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged at all.

60 Illa man taba waamana waAAamila salihan faolaika yadkhuloona aljannata wala yuthlamoona shayan

61 [Therein are] gardens of perpetual residence which the Most Merciful has promised His servants in the unseen. Indeed, His promise has ever been coming.

61 Jannati AAadnin allatee waAAada alrrahmanu AAibadahu bialghaybi innahu kana waAAduhu matiyyan

62 They will not hear therein any ill speech - only [greetings of] peace - and they will have their provision therein, morning and afternoon.

62 La yasmaAAoona feeha laghwan illa salaman walahum rizquhum feeha bukratan waAAashiyyan

63 That is Paradise, which We give as inheritance to those of Our servants who were fearing of Allah.

63 Tilka aljannatu allatee noorithu min AAibadina man kana taqiyyan

64 [Gabriel said], "And we [angels] descend not except by the order of your Lord. To Him belongs that before us and that behind us and what is in between. And never is your Lord forgetful -

64 Wama natanazzalu illa biamri rabbika lahu ma bayna aydeena wama khalfana wama bayna thalika wama kana rabbuka nasiyyan

65 Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them - so worship Him and have patience for His worship. Do you know of any similarity to Him?"

65 Rabbu alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma faoAAbudhu waistabir liAAibadatihi hal taAAlamu lahu samiyyan

66 And the disbeliever says, "When I have died, am I going to be brought forth alive?"

66 Wayaqoolu alinsanu aitha ma mittu lasawfa okhraju hayyan

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

67 Awala yathkuru alinsanu anna khalaqnahu min qablu walam yaku shayan

68 So by your Lord, We will surely gather them and the devils; then We will bring them to be present around Hell upon their knees.

68 Fawarabbika lanahshurannahum waalshshayateena thumma lanuhdirannahum hawla jahannama jithiyyan

69 Then We will surely extract from every sect those of them who were worst against the Most Merciful in insolence.

69 Thumma lananziAAanna min kulli sheeAAatin ayyuhum ashaddu AAala alrrahmani AAitiyyan

70 Then, surely it is We who are most knowing of those most worthy of burning therein.

70 Thumma lanahnu aAAlamu biallatheena hum awla biha siliyyan

71 And there is none of you except he will come to it. This is upon your Lord an inevitability decreed.

71 Wain minkum illa wariduha kana AAala rabbika hatman maqdiyyan

72 Then We will save those who feared Allah and leave the wrongdoers within it, on their knees.

72 Thumma nunajjee allatheena ittaqaw wanatharu alththalimeena feeha jithiyyan

73 And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Which of [our] two parties is best in position and best in association?"

73 Waitha tutla AAalayhim ayatuna bayyinatin qala allatheena kafaroo lillatheena amanoo ayyu alfareeqayni khayrun maqaman waahsanu nadiyyan

74 And how many a generation have We destroyed before them who were better in possessions and [outward] appearance?

74 Wakam ahlakna qablahum min qarnin hum ahsanu athathan wariyan

75 Say, "Whoever is in error - let the Most Merciful extend for him an extension [in wealth and time] until, when they see that which they were promised - either punishment [in this world] or the Hour [of resurrection] - they will come to know who is worst in position and weaker in soldiers."

75 Qul man kana fee alddalalati falyamdud lahu alrrahmanu maddan hatta itha raaw ma yooAAadoona imma alAAathaba waimma alssaAAata fasayaAAlamoona man huwa sharrun makanan waadAAafu jundan

76 And Allah increases those who were guided, in guidance, and the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for recourse.

76 Wayazeedu Allahu allatheena ihtadaw hudan waalbaqiyatu alssalihatu khayrun AAinda rabbika thawaban wakhayrun maraddan

77 Then, have you seen he who disbelieved in Our verses and said, "I will surely be given wealth and children [in the next life]?"

77 Afaraayta allathee kafara biayatina waqala laootayanna malan wawaladan

78 Has he looked into the unseen, or has he taken from the Most Merciful a promise?

78 AttalaAAa alghayba ami ittakhatha AAinda alrrahmani AAahdan

79 No! We will record what he says and extend for him from the punishment extensively.

79 Kalla sanaktubu ma yaqoolu wanamuddu lahu mina alAAathabi maddan

80 And We will inherit him [in] what he mentions, and he will come to Us alone.

80 Wanarithuhu ma yaqoolu wayateena fardan

81 And they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that they would be for them [a source of] honor.

81 Waittakhathoo min dooni Allahi alihatan liyakoonoo lahum AAizzan

82 No! Those "gods" will deny their worship of them and will be against them opponents [on the Day of Judgement].

82 Kalla sayakfuroona biAAibadatihim wayakoonoona AAalayhim diddan

83 Do you not see that We have sent the devils upon the disbelievers, inciting them to [evil] with [constant] incitement?

83 Alam tara anna arsalna alshshayateena AAala alkafireena taozzuhum azzan

84 So be not impatient over them. We only count out to them a [limited] number.

84 Fala taAAjal AAalayhim innama naAAuddu lahum AAaddan

85 On the Day We will gather the righteous to the Most Merciful as a delegation

85 Yawma nahshuru almuttaqeena ila alrrahmani wafdan

86 And will drive the criminals to Hell in thirst

86 Wanasooqu almujrimeena ila jahannama wirdan

87 None will have [power of] intercession except he who had taken from the Most Merciful a covenant.

87 La yamlikoona alshshafaAAata illa mani ittakhatha AAinda alrrahmani AAahdan

88 And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken [for Himself] a son."

88 Waqaloo ittakhatha alrrahmanu waladan

89 You have done an atrocious thing.

89 Laqad jitum shayan iddan

90 The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation

90 Takadu alssamawatu yatafattarna minhu watanshaqqu alardu watakhirru aljibalu haddan

91 That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son.

91 An daAAaw lilrrahmani waladan

92 And it is not appropriate for the Most Merciful that He should take a son.

92 Wama yanbaghee lilrrahmani an yattakhitha waladan

93 There is no one in the heavens and earth but that he comes to the Most Merciful as a servant.

93 In kullu man fee alssamawati waalardi illa atee alrrahmani AAabdan

94 He has enumerated them and counted them a [full] counting.

94 Laqad ahsahum waAAaddahum AAaddan

95 And all of them are coming to Him on the Day of Resurrection alone.

95 Wakulluhum ateehi yawma alqiyamati fardan

96 Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - the Most Merciful will appoint for them affection.

96 Inna allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati sayajAAalu lahumu alrrahmanu wuddan

97 So, [O Muhammad], We have only made Qur'an easy in the Arabic language that you may give good tidings thereby to the righteous and warn thereby a hostile people.

97 Fainnama yassarnahu bilisanika litubashshira bihi almuttaqeena watunthira bihi qawman luddan

98 And how many have We destroyed before them of generations? Do you perceive of them anyone or hear from them a sound?

98 Wakam ahlakna qablahum min qarnin hal tuhissu minhum min ahadin aw tasmaAAu lahum rikzan
