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

إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُ نِدَاءً خَفِيًّا

idh nada rabbah nida'an khafiyyan

When he called to his Lord a private supplication.

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

qala rabbi inni wahana al-'azm minni washta'ala ar-ra's shayban wa-lam akun bi-du'a'ik rabbi shaqiyyan

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.

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

wa-inni khiftu al-mawali min wara'i wa-kanat imra'ati 'aqiran fa-hab li min ladunka waliyyan

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

يَرِثُنِي وَيَرِثُ مِنْ آلِ يَعْقُوبَ ۖ وَاجْعَلْهُ رَبِّ رَضِيًّا

yarithni wa-yarith min al-i Ya'qub wa-ja'lhu rabb radiyy

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

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

ya zakariyya inna nubashshiruka bighulamin ismuhu yahya lam naj'al lahu min qablu samiyyan

[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."

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

qala rabbi anna yakun li ghulam wa-canat imra'ati 'aqir wa-qad balaghtu min al-kibir 'itiyy

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

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

qala kadhalika qala rabbuka huwa 'alayya hayyin wa-qad khalaqtuka min qablu wa-lam taku shay'

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

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

qala rabbi ij'al li ayah qala ayatuka alla tukallima an-nas thalath layalin sawiyyan

[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."

فَخَرَجَ عَلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ مِنَ الْمِحْرَابِ فَأَوْحَىٰ إِلَيْهِمْ أَن سَبِّحُوا بُكْرَةً وَعَشِيًّا

fa-kharaja 'ala qawmih min al-mihrab fa-awha ilayhim an sabbihu bukratan wa-'ashiyyan

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

يَا يَحْيَىٰ خُذِ الْكِتَابَ بِقُوَّةٍ ۖ وَآتَيْنَاهُ الْحُكْمَ صَبِيًّا

ya yahya khudh al-kitab biquwwatin wa-ataynahu al-hukm sabiyyan

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

وَحَنَانًا مِّن لَّدُنَّا وَزَكَاةً ۖ وَكَانَ تَقِيًّا

wa-hanan min ladunna wa-zakat wa-kana taqiyy

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

وَبَرًّا بِوَالِدَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَكُن جَبَّارًا عَصِيًّا

wa-barra bi-walidayhi wa-lam yakun jabbar 'asiyya

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

وَسَلَامٌ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ وُلِدَ وَيَوْمَ يَمُوتُ وَيَوْمَ يُبْعَثُ حَيًّا

wa-salam 'alayh yawm wulid wa-yawm yamut wa-yawm yub'ath hayyan

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

وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ مَرْيَمَ إِذِ انتَبَذَتْ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا مَكَانًا شَرْقِيًّا

wadhkur fi al-kitab Maryam idhi intabadhat min ahliha makanan sharqiyyan

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

فَاتَّخَذَتْ مِن دُونِهِمْ حِجَابًا فَأَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْهَا رُوحَنَا فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهَا بَشَرًا سَوِيًّا

fa-ittakhadhat min dunihim hijaban fa-arsalna ilayha ruhuna fa-tamaththala laha basharan sawiyyan

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.

قَالَتْ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِالرَّحْمَـٰنِ مِنكَ إِن كُنتَ تَقِيًّا

qalat inni a'udhu bir-rahman minka in kunta taqiyya

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

قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَنَا رَسُولُ رَبِّكِ لِأَهَبَ لَكِ غُلَامًا زَكِيًّا

qala innama ana rasul rabbik li-ahaba laki ghulaman zakiyan

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

قَالَتْ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِي غُلَامٌ وَلَمْ يَمْسَسْنِي بَشَرٌ وَلَمْ أَكُ بَغِيًّا

qalat anna yakun li ghulam wa-lam yamsasni bashar wa-lam aku baghiya

She said, "How can I have a boy 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

qala kadhalika qala rabbuki huwa 'alayya hayyin wa-li-naj'alahu ayatan lil-nas wa-rahmatan minna wa-kana amran maqdiyyan

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.' "

فَحَمَلَتْهُ فَانتَبَذَتْ بِهِ مَكَانًا قَصِيًّا

fa-hamalathu fa-intabadhat bihi makanan qasiyya

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

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

fa-aja'a-ha al-makhadu ila jidh' an-nakhlah qalat ya laytani mittu qabla hadha wa-kuntu nasyan mansiyyan

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."

فَنَادَاهَا مِن تَحْتِهَا أَلَّا تَحْزَنِي قَدْ جَعَلَ رَبُّكِ تَحْتَكِ سَرِيًّا

fanadaha min tahtiha alla tahzani qad ja'ala rabbuki tahtaki sariyyan

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

وَهُزِّي إِلَيْكِ بِجِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ تُسَاقِطْ عَلَيْكِ رُطَبًا جَنِيًّا

wa-huzzi ilayki bi-jidh' an-nakhlah tuqaqit 'alayki rutaban janiyyan

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

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

fa-kuli wa-shrabi wa-qarri 'aynan fa-imma tarayinna min al-bashar ahadan fa-quli inni nadhartu lir-rahman sawman fa-lan ukallima al-yawma insiyyan

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.' "

فَأَتَتْ بِهِ قَوْمَهَا تَحْمِلُهُ ۖ قَالُوا يَا مَرْيَمُ لَقَدْ جِئْتِ شَيْئًا فَرِيًّا

fa-atat bihi qawmaha tahmiluhu qalu ya Maryam laqad ji'ti shay'an fariyyan

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

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

ya ukhta Haruna ma kana abuk imra' saw'in wa-ma kanat ummuk baghiyan

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

فَأَشَارَتْ إِلَيْهِ ۖ قَالُوا كَيْفَ نُكَلِّمُ مَن كَانَ فِي الْمَهْدِ صَبِيًّا

fa-asarat ilayhi qalu kayfa nukallimu man kana fi al-mahd sabiyan

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

قَالَ إِنِّي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ آتَانِيَ الْكِتَابَ وَجَعَلَنِي نَبِيًّا

qala inni 'abd Allah atani al-kitab wa-ja'alani nabiyan

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

وَجَعَلَنِي مُبَارَكًا أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُ وَأَوْصَانِي بِالصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ مَا دُمْتُ حَيًّا

wa-ja'alani mubarakan ayna ma kuntu wa-awsani bis-salat waz-zakah ma dumtu hayyan

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

وَبَرًّا بِوَالِدَتِي وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْنِي جَبَّارًا شَقِيًّا

wa-barra bi-walidati wa-lam yaj'alni jabbar shaqiyy

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

وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَيَّ يَوْمَ وُلِدتُّ وَيَوْمَ أَمُوتُ وَيَوْمَ أُبْعَثُ حَيًّا

was-salam 'alayya yawma wulidtu wa-yawma amutu wa-yawma ub'athu hayyan

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

ذَٰلِكَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ ۚ قَوْلَ الْحَقِّ الَّذِي فِيهِ يَمْتَرُونَ

dhalika 'isa ibn maryam qawl al-haqq alladhi fih yamtirun

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

مَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ مِن وَلَدٍ ۖ سُبْحَانَهُ ۚ إِذَا قَضَىٰ أَمْرًا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ

ma kana lillahi an yattakhidha min walad subhanahu idha qada amran fa-innama yaqulu lahu kun fayakun

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.

وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوهُ ۚ هَـٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ

wa-inna Allaha rabb warabbukum fa-'buduhu hadha sirat mustaqim

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

فَاخْتَلَفَ الْأَحْزَابُ مِن بَيْنِهِمْ ۖ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِن مَّشْهَدِ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

fa-ikhtalaf al-ahzab min baynihim fa-wayl lil-ladhina kafaru min mashhad yawm 'azim

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

أَسْمِعْ بِهِمْ وَأَبْصِرْ يَوْمَ يَأْتُونَنَا ۖ لَـٰكِنِ الظَّالِمُونَ الْيَوْمَ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ

asma' bihim wa-absir yawma ya'tunana lakin az-zalimun al-yawma fi dalalin mubin

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

وَأَنذِرْهُمْ يَوْمَ الْحَسْرَةِ إِذْ قُضِيَ الْأَمْرُ وَهُمْ فِي غَفْلَةٍ وَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

wa-andhirhum yawm al-hasrah id qudiya al-amr wa-hum fi ghaflah wa-hum la yu'minun

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.

إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَرِثُ الْأَرْضَ وَمَنْ عَلَيْهَا وَإِلَيْنَا يُرْجَعُونَ

inna nahnu narith al-ard wa-man 'alayha wa-ilayna yurja'un

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

وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ صِدِّيقًا نَّبِيًّا

wa-dhkur fi al-kitab Ibrahim innahu kan siddiq nabiyy

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

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

idh qala li-abihi ya abati lima ta'budu ma la yasma' wa-la yubsiru wa-la yughni 'anka shay'

[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?

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

ya abati inni qad ja'ani min al-'ilm ma lam ya'tika fa-ittabi'ni ahdika siratan sawiyya

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.

يَا أَبَتِ لَا تَعْبُدِ الشَّيْطَانَ ۖ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ كَانَ لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ عَصِيًّا

ya abati la ta'bud ash-shaytan inna ash-shaytan kana lir-rahman 'asiyy

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

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

ya abati inni akhafu an yamassaka 'adhab min ar-rahman fa-takun lil-shaytan waliyya

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]."

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

qala a-raghibun anta 'an alihati ya Ibrahim la-in lam tantahi la-arjumannaka wa-hjurni maliyya

[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."

قَالَ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكَ ۖ سَأَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكَ رَبِّي ۖ إِنَّهُ كَانَ بِي حَفِيًّا

qala salam 'alayka sa'astaghfiru lak rabb innahu kan bi hafiyy

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

وَأَعْتَزِلُكُمْ وَمَا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَأَدْعُو رَبِّي عَسَىٰ أَلَّا أَكُونَ بِدُعَاءِ رَبِّي شَقِيًّا

wa-a'tazilukum wa-ma tad'un min dun Allah wa-ad'u rabb 'asa all akun bidu'a rabb shaqiyan

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."

فَلَمَّا اعْتَزَلَهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَهَبْنَا لَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ ۖ وَكُلًّا جَعَلْنَا نَبِيًّا

fa-lamma i'tazalahum wama ya'budun min dun Allah wahabna lahu Ishaq wa-Ya'qub wa-kulla ja'alna nabiyyan

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.

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُم مِّن رَّحْمَتِنَا وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ عَلِيًّا

wa-wahabna lahum min rahmatina wa-ja'alna lahum lisan sidq 'aliyya

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

وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ مُوسَىٰ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ مُخْلَصًا وَكَانَ رَسُولًا نَّبِيًّا

wa-dhkur fi al-kitab Musa innahu kana mukhlas wa-kana rasul nabiyy

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

وَنَادَيْنَاهُ مِن جَانِبِ الطُّورِ الْأَيْمَنِ وَقَرَّبْنَاهُ نَجِيًّا

wa-nadaynahu min janib at-tur al-ayman wa-qarrabnahu najiyy

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

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ مِن رَّحْمَتِنَا أَخَاهُ هَارُونَ نَبِيًّا

wa-wahabna lahu min rahmatina akhahu Haruna nabiyya

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

وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ صَادِقَ الْوَعْدِ وَكَانَ رَسُولًا نَّبِيًّا

wa kana ya'mur ahlah bi-as-salat wa-az-zakah wa kana 'inda rabbih mardiyya

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

وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ إِدْرِيسَ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ صِدِّيقًا نَّبِيًّا

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

وَرَفَعْنَاهُ مَكَانًا عَلِيًّا

wa-rafa'nahu makanan 'aliyya

And We raised him to a high station.

أُولَـٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ 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 ۩

ula'ika alladhina an'ama Allahu 'alayhim min an-nabiyyin min dhurriyyat Adam wa-mimman hamalna ma'a Nuh wa-min dhurriyyat Ibrahim wa-Isra'il wa-mimman hadayna wajtabayna idha tutla 'alayhim ayat ar-rahman kharru sujjadan wa-bukiyyan

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.

فَخَلَفَ مِن بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ أَضَاعُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَاتَّبَعُوا الشَّهَوَاتِ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَلْقَوْنَ غَيًّا

fa-khalafa min ba'dihim khalf adha'u as-salat wa-ttaba'u ash-shahawat fa-sawfa yalqawna ghayyan

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

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

illa man taba wa-amana wa-'amila salihan fa-ula'ika yadkhuluna al-jannah wa-la yuzlamuna shay'

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

جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ الَّتِي وَعَدَ الرَّحْمَـٰنُ عِبَادَهُ بِالْغَيْبِ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ وَعْدُهُ مَأْتِيًّا

jannat 'adn allati wa'ad ar-rahman 'abaduh bil-ghayb innahu kana wa'duh ma'tiyya

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

لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا إِلَّا سَلَامًا ۖ وَلَهُمْ رِزْقُهُمْ فِيهَا بُكْرَةً وَعَشِيًّا

la yasma'un fiha laghwan illa salaman wa-lahum rizqahum fiha bukratan wa-'ashiyyan

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

تِلْكَ الْجَنَّةُ الَّتِي نُورِثُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا مَن كَانَ تَقِيًّا

tilka al-jannat allati nurith min 'ibad man kana taqiyan

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

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

wa ma tanazzalu illa bi-amr rabbak lahu ma bayna aydina wa ma khalfana wa ma bayna dhalik wa ma kana rabbak nasiyya

[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 -

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

rabb as-samawat wal-ard wa-ma baynahuma fa-'budhu wa-sbir li-'ibadatih hal ta'lam lahu samiyya

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?"

وَيَقُولُ الْإِنسَانُ أَإِذَا مَا مِتُّ لَسَوْفَ أُخْرَجُ حَيًّا

wa-yaqul al-insan a-'idha ma mittu la-sawfa ukhraju hayyan

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

أَوَلَا يَذْكُرُ الْإِنسَانُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُ مِن قَبْلُ وَلَمْ يَكُ شَيْئًا

a-wa-la yadhkur al-insan anna khalaqnah min qablu wa-lam yaku shay'

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

فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَحْشُرَنَّهُمْ وَالشَّيَاطِينَ ثُمَّ لَنُحْضِرَنَّهُمْ حَوْلَ جَهَنَّمَ جِثِيًّا

fa-rabbika la-nahshurannahum wal-shayatin thumma la-nuhdirannahum hawla jahannam jithiyya

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.

ثُمَّ لَنَنزِعَنَّ مِن كُلِّ شِيعَةٍ أَيُّهُمْ أَشَدُّ عَلَى الرَّحْمَـٰنِ عِتِيًّا

thumma lananzi'anna min kulli shi'atin ayyuhum ashaddu 'ala ar-rahman 'itiyya

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

ثُمَّ لَنَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِالَّذِينَ هُمْ أَوْلَىٰ بِهَا صِلِيًّا

thumma la-hnu a'lamu bi-al-ladhina hum awla biha siliyya

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

وَإِن مِّنكُمْ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَا ۚ كَانَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ حَتْمًا مَّقْضِيًّا

wa-in minkum illa wariduha kana 'ala rabbak hatman maqdiyyan

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

ثُمَّ نُنَجِّي الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوا وَّنَذَرُ الظَّالِمِينَ فِيهَا جِثِيًّا

thumma nunajji alladhina ittaqaw wa-nadhar az-zalimin fiha jithiyya

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

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

wa-idha tutla 'alayhim ayatuna bayyinat qala alladhina kafaru lilladhina amanu ayyu al-fariqayn khayrun maqaman wa-ahsanu nadiyyan

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?"

وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْنٍ هُمْ أَحْسَنُ أَثَاثًا وَرِئْيًا

wa-kam ahlakna qablahum min qarnin hum ahsanu athathan wa-ri'yan

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

qul man kana fi ad-dalalah fa-lyamdad lahu ar-rahman maddan hatta idha ra'aw ma yu'adun imma al-'adhab wa-imma as-sa'ah fa-saya'lamun man huwa sharr makanan wa-ad'af jundan

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."

وَيَزِيدُ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ اهْتَدَوْا هُدًى ۗ وَالْبَاقِيَاتُ الصَّالِحَاتُ خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ مَّرَدًّا

wa-yazid Allah alladhina ihtadaw huda wal-baqiyat as-salihat khayr 'inda rabbak thawaban wa-khayr maraddan

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.

أَفَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي كَفَرَ بِآيَاتِنَا وَقَالَ لَأُوتَيَنَّ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا

a-fara'ayta alladhi kafara bi-'ayatina wa-qala la-'utayanna malan wa-waladan

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

أَطَّلَعَ الْغَيْبَ أَمِ اتَّخَذَ عِندَ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ عَهْدًا

attala'a al-ghayb am ittakhadha 'ind ar-rahman 'ahd

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

كَلَّا ۚ سَنَكْتُبُ مَا يَقُولُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهُ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ مَدًّا

kalla sanaktubu ma yaqulu wa-namuddu lahu min al-'adhab maddan

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

وَنَرِثُهُ مَا يَقُولُ وَيَأْتِينَا فَرْدًا

wanarithuhu ma yaqul wa-ya'tina fardan

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

وَاتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ آلِهَةً لِّيَكُونُوا لَهُمْ عِزًّا

wa-ttakhadhu min dun Allahi alihah liyakunu lahum 'izz

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

كَلَّا ۚ سَيَكْفُرُونَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضِدًّا

kalla sayakfuruna bi'ibadatihim wa-yakununa 'alayhim diddan

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

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا الشَّيَاطِينَ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ تَؤُزُّهُمْ أَزًّا

a-lam tara anna arsalna ash-shayatin 'ala al-kafirin ta'uzzuhum azzan

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

فَلَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَيْهِمْ ۖ إِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمْ عَدًّا

fa-la ta'jal 'alayhim innama na'udd lahum 'add

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

يَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ الْمُتَّقِينَ إِلَى الرَّحْمَـٰنِ وَفْدًا

yawm nahshur al-muttaqin ila ar-rahman wafda

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

وَنَسُوقُ الْمُجْرِمِينَ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ وِرْدًا

wa-nasuqu al-mujrimin ila jahannam wirdan

And will drive the criminals to Hell in thirst

لَّا يَمْلِكُونَ الشَّفَاعَةَ إِلَّا مَنِ اتَّخَذَ عِندَ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ عَهْدًا

la yamlikun ash-shafa'at illa mani ittakhadha 'ind ar-rahman 'ahdan

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

وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَلَدًا

wa-qalu ittakhadha ar-rahman walad

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

لَّقَدْ جِئْتُمْ شَيْئًا إِدًّا

laqad ji'tum shay'an iddan

You have done an atrocious thing.

تَكَادُ السَّمَاوَاتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنشَقُّ الْأَرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ الْجِبَالُ هَدًّا

takad as-samawat yatafattarna minhu wa-tanshaqq al-ard wa-takhirr al-jibal hadda

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

أَن دَعَوْا لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ وَلَدًا

an da'aw li-ar-rahman walad

That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son.

وَمَا يَنبَغِي لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا

wa ma yambaghi li-rrahman an yattakhidha walad

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

إِن كُلُّ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ إِلَّا آتِي الرَّحْمَـٰنِ عَبْدًا

in kullu man fi as-samawat wal-ard illa ati ar-rahman 'abda

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

لَّقَدْ أَحْصَاهُمْ وَعَدَّهُمْ عَدًّا

laqad ahsahum wa-'addahum 'adda

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

وَكُلُّهُمْ آتِيهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَرْدًا

wa-kulluhum atihi yawm al-qiyamah fard

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

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ سَيَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ الرَّحْمَـٰنُ وُدًّا

inna alladhina amanu wa-'amilu as-salihat sayaj'alu lahum ar-rahman wudda

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

فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَاهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ الْمُتَّقِينَ وَتُنذِرَ بِهِ قَوْمًا لُّدًّا

fa-innama yassarnahu bi-lisanika li-tubashshira bihi al-muttaqina wa-tundhira bihi qawman luddan

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.

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

wa-kam ahlakna qablahum min qarn hal tuhissu minhum min ahadin aw tasma'u lahum rikz

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