Surah Maryam With English Translations

كٓهٰیٰعٓصٓ(1)

Kāf, Hā, Yā, ‘Ayn, Ṣād. (1)

ذِكْرُ رَحْمَتِ رَبِّكَ عَبْدَهٗ زَكَرِیَّا(2)

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

اِذْ نَادٰى رَبَّهٗ نِدَآءً خَفِیًّا(3)

When he called to his Lord a private supplication. (3)

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّیْ وَهَنَ الْعَظْمُ مِنِّیْ وَ اشْتَعَلَ الرَّاْسُ شَیْبًا وَّ لَمْ اَكُنْۢ بِدُعَآىٕكَ رَبِّ شَقِیًّا(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)

وَ اِنِّیْ خِفْتُ الْمَوَالِیَ مِنْ وَّرَآءِیْ وَ كَانَتِ امْرَاَتِیْ عَاقِرًا فَهَبْ لِیْ مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ وَلِیًّا(5)

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

یَّرِثُنِیْ وَ یَرِثُ مِنْ اٰلِ یَعْقُوْبَ ﳓ وَ اجْعَلْهُ رَبِّ رَضِیًّا(6)

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

یٰزَكَرِیَّاۤ اِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلٰمِ-ﹰاسْمُهٗ یَحْیٰىۙ-لَمْ نَجْعَلْ لَّهٗ مِنْ قَبْلُ سَمِیًّا(7)

[Allah said], "O Zechariah, indeed We give you good tidings of a boy whose name will be John. We have not assigned to anyone before [him] that name." (7)

قَالَ رَبِّ اَنّٰى یَكُوْنُ لِیْ غُلٰمٌ وَّ كَانَتِ امْرَاَتِیْ عَاقِرًا وَّ قَدْ بَلَغْتُ مِنَ الْكِبَرِ عِتِیًّا(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)

قَالَ كَذٰلِكَۚ-قَالَ رَبُّكَ هُوَ عَلَیَّ هَیِّنٌ وَّ قَدْ خَلَقْتُكَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ لَمْ تَكُ شَیْــٴًـا(9)

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

قَالَ رَبِّ اجْعَلْ لِّیْۤ اٰیَةًؕ-قَالَ اٰیَتُكَ اَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ النَّاسَ ثَلٰثَ لَیَالٍ سَوِیًّا(10)

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

فَخَرَ جَ عَلٰى قَوْمِهٖ مِنَ الْمِحْرَابِ فَاَوْحٰۤى اِلَیْهِمْ اَنْ سَبِّحُوْا بُكْرَةً وَّ عَشِیًّا(11)

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

یٰیَحْیٰى خُذِ الْكِتٰبَ بِقُوَّةٍؕ-وَ اٰتَیْنٰهُ الْحُكْمَ صَبِیًّا(12)

[It was said], "O John, take the Scripture with strength." And We gave him wisdom while yet a boy (12)

وَّ حَنَانًا مِّنْ لَّدُنَّا وَ زَكٰوةًؕ-وَ كَانَ تَقِیًّا(13)

And affection from Us and purity; and he was fearing of Allah (13)

وَّ بَرًّۢا بِوَالِدَیْهِ وَ لَمْ یَكُنْ جَبَّارًا عَصِیًّا(14)

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

وَ سَلٰمٌ عَلَیْهِ یَوْمَ وُلِدَ وَ یَوْمَ یَمُوْتُ وَ یَوْمَ یُبْعَثُ حَیًّا(15)

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

وَ اذْكُرْ فِی الْكِتٰبِ مَرْیَمَۘ-اِذِ انْتَبَذَتْ مِنْ اَهْلِهَا مَكَانًا شَرْقِیًّا(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)

فَاتَّخَذَتْ مِنْ دُوْنِهِمْ حِجَابًا ﱏ فَاَرْسَلْنَاۤ اِلَیْهَا رُوْحَنَا فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهَا بَشَرًا سَوِیًّا(17)

And she took [a screen] apart from them. Then We sent to her Our Angel, and he represented himself to her as a well-proportioned man. (17)

قَالَتْ اِنِّیْۤ اَعُوْذُ بِالرَّحْمٰنِ مِنْكَ اِنْ كُنْتَ تَقِیًّا(18)

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

قَالَ اِنَّمَاۤ اَنَا رَسُوْلُ رَبِّكِ ﳓ لِاَهَبَ لَكِ غُلٰمًا زَكِیًّا(19)

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

قَالَتْ اَنّٰى یَكُوْنُ لِیْ غُلٰمٌ وَّ لَمْ یَمْسَسْنِیْ بَشَرٌ وَّ لَمْ اَكُ بَغِیًّا(20)

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

قَالَ كَذٰلِكِۚ-قَالَ رَبُّكِ هُوَ عَلَیَّ هَیِّنٌۚ-وَ لِنَجْعَلَهٗۤ اٰیَةً لِّلنَّاسِ وَ رَحْمَةً مِّنَّاۚ-وَ كَانَ اَمْرًا مَّقْضِیًّا(21)

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

فَحَمَلَتْهُ فَانْتَبَذَتْ بِهٖ مَكَانًا قَصِیًّا(22)

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

فَاَجَآءَهَا الْمَخَاضُ اِلٰى جِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِۚ-قَالَتْ یٰلَیْتَنِیْ مِتُّ قَبْلَ هٰذَا وَ كُنْتُ نَسْیًا مَّنْسِیًّا(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)

فَنَادٰىهَا مِنْ تَحْتِهَاۤ اَلَّا تَحْزَنِیْ قَدْ جَعَلَ رَبُّكِ تَحْتَكِ سَرِیًّا(24)

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

وَ هُزِّیْۤ اِلَیْكِ بِجِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ تُسٰقِطْ عَلَیْكِ رُطَبًا جَنِیًّا(25)

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

فَكُلِیْ وَ اشْرَبِیْ وَ قَرِّیْ عَیْنًاۚ-فَاِمَّا تَرَیِنَّ مِنَ الْبَشَرِ اَحَدًاۙ-فَقُوْلِیْۤ اِنِّیْ نَذَرْتُ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ صَوْمًا فَلَنْ اُكَلِّمَ الْیَوْمَ اِنْسِیًّا(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)

فَاَتَتْ بِهٖ قَوْمَهَا تَحْمِلُهٗؕ-قَالُوْا یٰمَرْیَمُ لَقَدْ جِئْتِ شَیْــٴًـا فَرِیًّا(27)

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

یٰۤاُخْتَ هٰرُوْنَ مَا كَانَ اَبُوْكِ امْرَاَ سَوْءٍ وَّ مَا كَانَتْ اُمُّكِ بَغِیًّا(28)

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

فَاَشَارَتْ اِلَیْهِؕ-قَالُوْا كَیْفَ نُكَلِّمُ مَنْ كَانَ فِی الْمَهْدِ صَبِیًّا(29)

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

قَالَ اِنِّیْ عَبْدُ اللّٰهِ ﳴ اٰتٰىنِیَ الْكِتٰبَ وَ جَعَلَنِیْ نَبِیًّا(30)

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

وَّ جَعَلَنِیْ مُبٰرَكًا اَیْنَ مَا كُنْتُ۪-وَ اَوْصٰنِیْ بِالصَّلٰوةِ وَ الزَّكٰوةِ مَا دُمْتُ حَیًّا(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)

وَّ بَرًّۢا بِوَالِدَتِیْ٘-وَ لَمْ یَجْعَلْنِیْ جَبَّارًا شَقِیًّا(32)

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

وَ السَّلٰمُ عَلَیَّ یَوْمَ وُلِدْتُّ وَ یَوْمَ اَمُوْتُ وَ یَوْمَ اُبْعَثُ حَیًّا(33)

And peace be upon me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive." (33)

ذٰلِكَ عِیْسَى ابْنُ مَرْیَمَۚ-قَوْلَ الْحَقِّ الَّذِیْ فِیْهِ یَمْتَرُوْنَ(34)

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

مَا كَانَ لِلّٰهِ اَنْ یَّتَّخِذَ مِنْ وَّلَدٍۙ-سُبْحٰنَهٗؕ-اِذَا قَضٰۤى اَمْرًا فَاِنَّمَا یَقُوْلُ لَهٗ كُنْ فَیَكُوْنُﭤ(35)

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

وَ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ رَبِّیْ وَ رَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوْهُؕ-هٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِیْمٌ(36)

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

فَاخْتَلَفَ الْاَحْزَابُ مِنْۢ بَیْنِهِمْۚ-فَوَیْلٌ لِّلَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ مَّشْهَدِ یَوْمٍ عَظِیْمٍ(37)

Then the factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieved - from the scene of a tremendous Day. (37)

اَسْمِـعْ بِهِمْ وَ اَبْصِرْۙ-یَوْمَ یَاْتُوْنَنَا لٰكِنِ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ الْیَوْمَ فِیْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِیْنٍ(38)

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

وَ اَنْذِرْهُمْ یَوْمَ الْحَسْرَةِ اِذْ قُضِیَ الْاَمْرُۘ-وَ هُمْ فِیْ غَفْلَةٍ وَّ هُمْ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ(39)

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

اِنَّا نَحْنُ نَرِثُ الْاَرْضَ وَ مَنْ عَلَیْهَا وَ اِلَیْنَا یُرْجَعُوْنَ(40)

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

وَ اذْكُرْ فِی الْكِتٰبِ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ۬ؕ-اِنَّهٗ كَانَ صِدِّیْقًا نَّبِیًّا(41)

And mention in the Book [the story of] Abraham. Indeed, he was a truthful prophet. (41)

اِذْ قَالَ لِاَبِیْهِ یٰۤاَبَتِ لِمَ تَعْبُدُ مَا لَا یَسْمَعُ وَ لَا یُبْصِرُ وَ لَا یُغْنِیْ عَنْكَ شَیْــٴًـا(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 cannot avail you anything? (42)

یٰۤاَبَتِ اِنِّیْ قَدْ جَآءَنِیْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ مَا لَمْ یَاْتِكَ فَاتَّبِعْنِیْۤ اَهْدِكَ صِرَاطًا سَوِیًّا(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 a straight path. (43)

یٰۤاَبَتِ لَا تَعْبُدِ الشَّیْطٰنَؕ-اِنَّ الشَّیْطٰنَ كَانَ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ عَصِیًّا(44)

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

یٰۤاَبَتِ اِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ اَنْ یَّمَسَّكَ عَذَابٌ مِّنَ الرَّحْمٰنِ فَتَكُوْنَ لِلشَّیْطٰنِ وَلِیًّا(45)

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

قَالَ اَرَاغِبٌ اَنْتَ عَنْ اٰلِهَتِیْ یٰۤاِبْرٰهِیْمُۚ-لَىٕنْ لَّمْ تَنْتَهِ لَاَرْجُمَنَّكَ وَ اهْجُرْنِیْ مَلِیًّا(46)

[His father] said, "Are you averse to my gods, O Abraham? If you do not desist, I will surely stone you; and avoid me for a prolonged period." (46)

قَالَ سَلٰمٌ عَلَیْكَۚ-سَاَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكَ رَبِّیْؕ-اِنَّهٗ كَانَ بِیْ حَفِیًّا(47)

Abraham said, "Peace will be upon you. I will ask forgiveness for you of my Lord. Indeed, He has been to me gracious. (47)

وَ اَعْتَزِلُكُمْ وَ مَا تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَ اَدْعُوْا رَبِّیْ ﳲ عَسٰۤى اَلَّاۤ اَكُوْنَ بِدُعَآءِ رَبِّیْ شَقِیًّا(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 my supplication to my Lord unhappy." (48)

فَلَمَّا اعْتَزَلَهُمْ وَ مَا یَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِۙ-وَهَبْنَا لَهٗۤ اِسْحٰقَ وَ یَعْقُوْبَؕ-وَ كُلًّا جَعَلْنَا نَبِیًّا(49)

So when he had withdrawn from them and that which they worshipped other than Allah, We bestowed upon him Isaac and Jacob, and each We made a prophet. (49)

وَ وَهَبْنَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ رَّحْمَتِنَا وَ جَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ عَلِیًّا(50)

And We bestowed upon them of Our mercy and made for them a reputation of high honor. (50)

وَ اذْكُرْ فِی الْكِتٰبِ مُوْسٰۤى٘-اِنَّهٗ كَانَ مُخْلَصًا وَّ كَانَ رَسُوْلًا نَّبِیًّا(51)

And mention in the Book [the story of] Moses. Indeed, he was chosen, and he was a messenger [and] a prophet. (51)

وَ نَادَیْنٰهُ مِنْ جَانِبِ الطُّوْرِ الْاَیْمَنِ وَ قَرَّبْنٰهُ نَجِیًّا(52)

And We called him from the side of the mount, the right [side], and brought him near for [private] conversation. (52)

وَ وَهَبْنَا لَهٗ مِنْ رَّحْمَتِنَاۤ اَخَاهُ هٰرُوْنَ نَبِیًّا(53)

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

وَ اذْكُرْ فِی الْكِتٰبِ اِسْمٰعِیْلَ٘-اِنَّهٗ كَانَ صَادِقَ الْوَعْدِ وَ كَانَ رَسُوْلًا نَّبِیًّا(54)

And mention in the Book [the story of] Ishmael. Indeed, he was true to his promise, and he was a messenger [and] a prophet. (54)

وَ كَانَ یَاْمُرُ اَهْلَهٗ بِالصَّلٰوةِ وَ الزَّكٰوةِ۪-وَ كَانَ عِنْدَ رَبِّهٖ مَرْضِیًّا(55)

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

وَ اذْكُرْ فِی الْكِتٰبِ اِدْرِیْسَ٘-اِنَّهٗ كَانَ صِدِّیْقًا نَّبِیًّا(56)

And mention in the Book [the story of] Enoch. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet. (56)

وَّ رَفَعْنٰهُ مَكَانًا عَلِیًّا(57)

And We raised him to a high station. (57)

اُولٰٓىٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ اَنْعَمَ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِمْ مِّنَ النَّبِیّٖنَ مِنْ ذُرِّیَّةِ اٰدَمَۗ-وَ مِمَّنْ حَمَلْنَا مَعَ نُوْحٍ٘-وَّ مِنْ ذُرِّیَّةِ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ وَ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ٘-وَ مِمَّنْ هَدَیْنَا وَ اجْتَبَیْنَاؕ-اِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَیْهِمْ اٰیٰتُ الرَّحْمٰنِ خَرُّوْا سُجَّدًا وَّ بُكِیًّا(58)

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

فَخَلَفَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ اَضَاعُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اتَّبَعُوا الشَّهَوٰتِ فَسَوْفَ یَلْقَوْنَ غَیًّا(59)

But there came after them successors who neglected prayer and pursued desires; so they will be meeting error. (59)

اِلَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَ اٰمَنَ وَ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ یَدْخُلُوْنَ الْجَنَّةَ وَ لَا یُظْلَمُوْنَ شَیْــٴًـا(60)

Except for those who repent and believe and do righteous deeds - for those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged at all - (60)

جَنّٰتِ عَدْنِ ﹰالَّتِیْ وَعَدَ الرَّحْمٰنُ عِبَادَهٗ بِالْغَیْبِؕ-اِنَّهٗ كَانَ وَعْدُهٗ مَاْتِیًّا(61)

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

لَا یَسْمَعُوْنَ فِیْهَا لَغْوًا اِلَّا سَلٰمًاؕ-وَ لَهُمْ رِزْقُهُمْ فِیْهَا بُكْرَةً وَّ عَشِیًّا(62)

They will not hear therein ill speech but [only] greetings of peace. And they will have their provision therein, morning and afternoon. (62)

تِلْكَ الْجَنَّةُ الَّتِیْ نُوْرِثُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا مَنْ كَانَ تَقِیًّا(63)

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

وَ مَا نَتَنَزَّلُ اِلَّا بِاَمْرِ رَبِّكَۚ-لَهٗ مَا بَیْنَ اَیْدِیْنَا وَ مَا خَلْفَنَا وَ مَا بَیْنَ ذٰلِكَۚ-وَ مَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ نَسِیًّا(64)

[The angels say], "And we do not descend except by the command of your Lord. To Him belongs what is before us and what is behind us and what is in between. And your Lord has never been forgetful - (64)

رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ وَ مَا بَیْنَهُمَا فَاعْبُدْهُ وَ اصْطَبِرْ لِعِبَادَتِهٖؕ-هَلْ تَعْلَمُ لَهٗ سَمِیًّا(65)

Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them, so worship Him and be patient in His worship. Do you know of any who is similar to Him?" (65)

وَ یَقُوْلُ الْاِنْسَانُ ءَاِذَا مَا مِتُّ لَسَوْفَ اُخْرَ جُ حَیًّا(66)

And man says, "When I have died, will I then be brought forth alive?" (66)

اَوَ لَا یَذْكُرُ الْاِنْسَانُ اَنَّا خَلَقْنٰهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ لَمْ یَكُ شَیْــٴًـا(67)

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

فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَحْشُرَنَّهُمْ وَ الشَّیٰطِیْنَ ثُمَّ لَنُحْضِرَنَّهُمْ حَوْلَ جَهَنَّمَ جِثِیًّا(68)

So by your Lord, We will surely gather them and the devils; then We will surely bring them around Hell, kneeling [on their knees]. (68)

ثُمَّ لَنَنْزِعَنَّ مِنْ كُلِّ شِیْعَةٍ اَیُّهُمْ اَشَدُّ عَلَى الرَّحْمٰنِ عِتِیًّا(69)

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

ثُمَّ لَنَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِالَّذِیْنَ هُمْ اَوْلٰى بِهَا صِلِیًّا(70)

Then We are most knowing of those most deserving of burning therein. (70)

وَ اِنْ مِّنْكُمْ اِلَّا وَارِدُهَاۚ-كَانَ عَلٰى رَبِّكَ حَتْمًا مَّقْضِیًّا(71)

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

ثُمَّ نُنَجِّی الَّذِیْنَ اتَّقَوْا وَّ نَذَرُ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ فِیْهَا جِثِیًّا(72)

Then We will save those who feared Allah and leave the wrongdoers therein kneeling [on their knees]. (72)

وَ اِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَیْهِمْ اٰیٰتُنَا بَیِّنٰتٍ قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لِلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤاۙ-اَیُّ الْفَرِیْقَیْنِ خَیْرٌ مَّقَامًا وَّ اَحْسَنُ نَدِیًّا(73)

And when Our clear verses are recited to them, those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Which of the two parties is best in position and best in association?" (73)

وَ كَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنْ قَرْنٍ هُمْ اَحْسَنُ اَثَاثًا وَّ رِءْیًا(74)

But how many a generation have We destroyed before them who were greater than them in wealth and appearance? (74)

قُلْ مَنْ كَانَ فِی الضَّلٰلَةِ فَلْیَمْدُدْ لَهُ الرَّحْمٰنُ مَدًّاۚ۬-حَتّٰۤى اِذَا رَاَوْا مَا یُوْعَدُوْنَ اِمَّا الْعَذَابَ وَ اِمَّا السَّاعَةَؕ-فَسَیَعْلَمُوْنَ مَنْ هُوَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَّ اَضْعَفُ جُنْدًا(75)

Say, "Whoever is in error - let the Most Merciful extend for him an extension. [But] when they see that which they were promised - either punishment or the Hour - they will know who is worst in position and weakest in soldiers." (75)

وَ یَزِیْدُ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ اهْتَدَوْا هُدًىؕ-وَ الْبٰقِیٰتُ الصّٰالِحٰتُ خَیْرٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَّ خَیْرٌ مَّرَدًّا(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 return. (76)

اَفَرَءَیْتَ الَّذِیْ كَفَرَ بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَ قَالَ لَاُوْتَیَنَّ مَالًا وَّ وَلَدًاﭤ(77)

Have you seen the one who disbelieved in Our verses and said, "I will surely be given wealth and children [in the next life]?" (77)

اَطَّلَعَ الْغَیْبَ اَمِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمٰنِ عَهْدًا(78)

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

كَلَّاؕ-سَنَكْتُبُ مَا یَقُوْلُ وَ نَمُدُّ لَهٗ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ مَدًّا(79)

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

وَّ نَرِثُهٗ مَا یَقُوْلُ وَ یَاْتِیْنَا فَرْدًا(80)

And We will inherit him [of] what he says, and he will come to Us alone [without wealth or children]. (80)

وَ اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اٰلِهَةً لِّیَكُوْنُوْا لَهُمْ عِزًّا(81)

And they have taken besides Allah gods that they might be for them [sources of] honor. (81)

كَلَّاؕ-سَیَكْفُرُوْنَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ وَ یَكُوْنُوْنَ عَلَیْهِمْ ضِدًّا(82)

No! [Those gods] will deny their worship of them and will be against them adversaries. (82)

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّاۤ اَرْسَلْنَا الشَّیٰطِیْنَ عَلَى الْكٰفِرِیْنَ تَؤُزُّهُمْ اَزًّا(83)

Have you not seen that We have sent the devils upon the disbelievers, inciting them with [evil] encouragement? (83)

فَلَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَیْهِمْؕ-اِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمْ عَدًّا(84)

So do not hasten for them [their punishment]; We only count out for them a [limited] counting. (84)

یَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ الْمُتَّقِیْنَ اِلَى الرَّحْمٰنِ وَفْدًا(85)

[On] the Day We will gather the righteous to the Most Merciful as a delegation, (85)

وَّ نَسُوْقُ الْمُجْرِمِیْنَ اِلٰى جَهَنَّمَ وِرْدًاﭥ(86)

And We will drive the criminals to Hell in thirst. (86)

لَا یَمْلِكُوْنَ الشَّفَاعَةَ اِلَّا مَنِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمٰنِ عَهْدًاﭥ(87)

They will not possess [the power of] intercession except for one who has taken a covenant with the Most Merciful. (87)

وَ قَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمٰنُ وَلَدًاﭤ(88)

And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken a son." (88)

لَقَدْ جِئْتُمْ شَیْــٴًـا اِدًّا(89)

You have certainly come with a terrible thing. (89)

تَكَادُ السَّمٰوٰتُ یَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَ تَنْشَقُّ الْاَرْضُ وَ تَخِرُّ الْجِبَالُ هَدًّا(90)

The heavens almost break apart therefrom and the earth cracks open and the mountains collapse in devastation (90)

اَنْ دَعَوْا لِلرَّحْمٰنِ وَلَدًا(91)

That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son. (91)

وَ مَا یَنْۢبَغِیْ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ اَنْ یَّتَّخِذَ وَلَدًاﭤ(92)

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

اِنْ كُلُّ مَنْ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ اِلَّاۤ اٰتِی الرَّحْمٰنِ عَبْدًاﭤ(93)

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

لَقَدْ اَحْصٰىهُمْ وَ عَدَّهُمْ عَدًّاﭤ(94)

He has enumerated them and counted them precisely. (94)

وَ كُلُّهُمْ اٰتِیْهِ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ فَرْدًا(95)

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

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰالِحٰتِ سَیَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ الرَّحْمٰنُ وُدًّا(96)

Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - the Most Merciful will grant them affection. (96)

فَاِنَّمَا یَسَّرْنٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ الْمُتَّقِیْنَ وَ تُنْذِرَ بِهٖ قَوْمًا لُّدًّا(97)

So, [O Muhammad], We have only made it easy in your tongue that you may give good tidings thereby to the righteous and warn thereby a hostile people. (97)

وَ كَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنْ قَرْنٍؕ-هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُمْ مِّنْ اَحَدٍ اَوْ تَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ رِكْزًا(98)

And how many a generation have We destroyed before them! Do you find of them anyone or hear from them a sound? (98)
