Maryam
Kãf-Ha-Ya-’Aĩn- Ṣãd.
Verse 2
ﭓﭔﭕﭖﭗ
ﭘ
˹This is˺ a reminder of your Lord’s mercy to His servant Zachariah,
Verse 3
ﭙﭚﭛﭜﭝ
ﭞ
when he cried out to his Lord privately,
Verse 4
saying, “My Lord! Surely my bones have become brittle, and grey hair has spread across my head, but I have never been disappointed in my prayer to You, my Lord!
Verse 5
And I am concerned about ˹the faith of˺ my relatives after me, since my wife is barren. So grant me, by Your grace, an heir,
Verse 6
who will inherit ˹prophethood˺ from me and the family of Jacob, and make him, O Lord, pleasing ˹to You˺!”
Verse 7
˹The angels announced,˺ “O Zachariah! Indeed, We give you the good news of ˹the birth of˺ a son, whose name will be John—a name We have not given to anyone before.”
Verse 8
He wondered, “My Lord! How can I have a son when my wife is barren, and I have become extremely old?”
Verse 9
An angel replied, “So will it be! Your Lord says, ‘It is easy for Me, just as I created you before, when you were nothing!’”
Verse 10
Zachariah said, “My Lord! Grant me a sign.” He responded, “Your sign is that you will not ˹be able to˺ speak to people for three nights, despite being healthy.”
Verse 11
So he came out to his people from the sanctuary, signalling to them to glorify ˹Allah˺ morning and evening.
Verse 12
˹It was later said,˺ “O John! Hold firmly to the Scriptures.” And We granted him wisdom while ˹he was still˺ a child,
Verse 13
as well as purity and compassion from Us. And he was God-fearing,
Verse 14
ﭢﭣﭤﭥﭦﭧ
ﭨ
and kind to his parents. He was neither arrogant nor disobedient.
Verse 15
Peace be upon him the day he was born, and the day of his death, and the day he will be raised back to life!
Verse 16
And mention in the Book ˹O Prophet, the story of˺ Mary when she withdrew from her family to a place in the east,
Verse 17
and screened herself off from them. Then We sent to her Our angel, ˹Gabriel,˺ appearing before her as a man, perfectly formed.
Verse 18
She appealed, “I truly seek refuge in the Most Compassionate from you! ˹So leave me alone˺ if you are God-fearing.”
Verse 19
He responded, “I am only a messenger from your Lord, ˹sent˺ to bless you with a pure son.”
Verse 20
She wondered, “How can I have a son when no man has ever touched me, nor am I unchaste?”
Verse 21
He replied, “So will it be! Your Lord says, ‘It is easy for Me. And so will We make him a sign for humanity and a mercy from Us.’ It is a matter ˹already˺ decreed.”
Verse 22
ﯜﯝﯞﯟﯠﯡ
ﯢ
So she conceived him and withdrew with him to a remote place.
Verse 23
Then the pains of labour drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She cried, “Alas! I wish I had died before this, and was a thing long forgotten!”
Verse 24
So a voice reassured her from below her, “Do not grieve! Your Lord has provided a stream at your feet.
Verse 25
And ˹if you˺ shake the trunk of this palm tree towards you, it will drop fresh, ripe dates upon you.
Verse 26
So eat and drink, and put your heart at ease. But if you see any of the people, say, ‘I have vowed silence to the Most Compassionate, so I am not talking to anyone today.’”
Verse 27
Then she returned to her people, carrying him. They said ˹in shock˺, “O Mary! You have certainly done a horrible thing!
Verse 28
O sister of Aaron! Your father was not an indecent man, nor was your mother unchaste.”
Verse 29
So she pointed to the baby. They exclaimed, “How can we talk to someone who is an infant in the cradle?”
Verse 30
Jesus declared, “I am truly a servant of Allah. He has destined me to be given the Scripture and to be a prophet.
Verse 31
He has made me a blessing wherever I go, and bid me to establish prayer and give alms-tax as long as I live,
Verse 32
ﮞﮟﮠﮡﮢﮣ
ﮤ
and to be kind to my mother. He has not made me arrogant or defiant.
Verse 33
Peace be upon me the day I was born, the day I die, and the day I will be raised back to life!”
Verse 34
That is Jesus, son of Mary. ˹And this is˺ a word of truth, about which they dispute.
Verse 35
It is not for Allah to take a son! Glory be to Him. When He decrees a matter, He simply tells it, “Be!” And it is!
Verse 36
˹Jesus also declared,˺ “Surely Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him ˹alone˺. This is the Straight Path.”
Verse 37
Yet their ˹various˺ groups have differed among themselves ˹about him˺, so woe to the disbelievers when they face a tremendous Day!
Verse 38
How clearly will they hear and see on the Day they will come to Us! But today the wrongdoers are clearly astray.
Verse 39
And warn them ˹O Prophet˺ of the Day of Regret, when all matters will be settled, while they are ˹engrossed˺ in heedlessness and disbelief.
Verse 40
Indeed, it is We Who will succeed the earth and whoever is on it. And to Us they will ˹all˺ be returned.
Verse 41
And mention in the Book ˹O Prophet, the story of˺ Abraham. He was surely a man of truth and a prophet.
Verse 42
˹Remember˺ when he said to his father, “O dear father! Why do you worship what can neither hear nor see, nor benefit you at all?
Verse 43
O dear father! I have certainly received some knowledge which you have not received, so follow me and I will guide you to the Straight Path.
Verse 44
O dear father! Do not worship Satan. Surely Satan is ever rebellious against the Most Compassionate.
Verse 45
O dear father! I truly fear that you will be touched by a torment from the Most Compassionate, and become Satan’s companion ˹in Hell˺.”
Verse 46
He threatened, “How dare you reject my idols, O Abraham! If you do not desist, I will certainly stone you ˹to death˺. So be gone from me for a long time!”
Verse 47
Abraham responded, “Peace be upon you! I will pray to my Lord for your forgiveness. He has truly been Most Gracious to me.
Verse 48
As I distance myself from ˹all of˺ you and from whatever you invoke besides Allah, I will ˹continue to˺ call upon my Lord ˹alone˺, trusting that I will never be disappointed in invoking my Lord.”
Verse 49
So after he had left them and what they worshipped besides Allah, We granted him Isaac and Jacob, and made each of them a prophet.
Verse 50
We showered them with Our mercy, and blessed them with honourable mention.
Verse 51
And mention in the Book ˹O Prophet, the story of˺ Moses. He was truly a chosen man, and was a messenger and a prophet.
Verse 52
We called him from the right side of Mount Ṭûr, and drew him near, speaking ˹with him˺ directly.
Verse 53
And We appointed for him—out of Our grace—his brother, Aaron, as a prophet.
Verse 54
And mention in the Book ˹O Prophet, the story of˺ Ishmael. He was truly a man of his word, and was a messenger and a prophet.
Verse 55
He used to urge his people to pray and give alms-tax. And his Lord was well pleased with him.
Verse 56
And mention in the Book ˹O Prophet, the story of˺ Enoch. He was surely a man of truth and a prophet.
Verse 57
ﮂﮃﮄ
ﮅ
And We elevated him to an honourable status.
Verse 58
Those were ˹some of˺ the prophets who Allah has blessed from among the descendants of Adam, and of those We carried with Noah ˹in the Ark˺, and of the descendants of Abraham and Israel, and of those We ˹rightly˺ guided and chose. Whenever the revelations of the Most Compassionate were recited to them, they fell down, prostrating and weeping.
Verse 59
But they were succeeded by generations who neglected prayer and followed their lusts and so will soon face the evil consequences.
Verse 60
As for those who repent, believe, and do good, it is they who will be admitted into Paradise, never being denied any reward.
Verse 61
˹They will be in˺ the Gardens of Eternity, promised in trust by the Most Compassionate to His servants. Surely His promise will be fulfilled.
Verse 62
There they will never hear any idle talk—only ˹greetings of˺ peace. And there they will have their provisions morning and evening.
Verse 63
That is Paradise, which We will grant to whoever is devout among Our servants.
Verse 64
“We only descend by the command of your Lord. To Him belongs whatever is before us, and whatever is behind us, and everything in between. And your Lord is never forgetful.
Verse 65
˹He is the˺ Lord of the heavens, and the earth, and everything in between. So worship Him ˹alone˺, and be steadfast in His worship. Do you know of anyone equal to Him ˹in His attributes˺?”
Verse 66
Yet ˹some˺ people ask ˹mockingly˺, “After I die, will I really be raised to life again?”
Verse 67
Do ˹such˺ people not remember that We created them before, when they were nothing?
Verse 68
By your Lord ˹O Prophet˺! We will surely gather them along with the devils, and then set them around Hell on their knees.
Verse 69
Then We will certainly begin by dragging out of every group the ones most defiant to the Most Compassionate.
Verse 70
And We truly know best who is most deserving of burning in it.
Verse 71
There is none of you who will not pass over it. ˹This is˺ a decree your Lord must fulfil.
Verse 72
Then We will deliver those who were devout, leaving the wrongdoers there on their knees.
Verse 73
When Our clear revelations are recited to them, the disbelievers ask the believers ˹mockingly˺, “Which of the two of us is better in position and superior in assembly?”
Verse 74
˹Imagine, O Prophet˺ how many peoples We have destroyed before them, who were far better in luxury and splendour!
Verse 75
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Whoever is ˹entrenched˺ in misguidance, the Most Compassionate will allow them plenty of time, until—behold!—they face what they are threatened with: either the torment or the Hour. Only then will they realize who is worse in position and inferior in manpower.”
Verse 76
And Allah increases in guidance those who are ˹rightly˺ guided. And the everlasting good deeds are far better with your Lord in reward and in outcome.
Verse 77
Have you seen ˹O Prophet˺ the one who rejects Our revelations yet boasts, “I will definitely be granted ˹plenty of˺ wealth and children ˹if there is an afterlife˺.”?
Verse 78
Has he looked into the unseen or taken a pledge from the Most Compassionate?
Verse 79
Not at all! We certainly record whatever he claims and will increase his punishment extensively.
Verse 80
ﭭﭮﭯﭰﭱ
ﭲ
And We will inherit what he boasts of, and he will come before Us all by himself.
Verse 81
They have taken other gods, instead of Allah, seeking strength ˹and protection˺ through them.
Verse 82
But no! Their gods will deny their worship and turn against them.
Verse 83
Do you ˹O Prophet˺ not see that We have sent the devils against the disbelievers, constantly inciting them?
Verse 84
So do not be in haste against them, for indeed We are ˹closely˺ counting down their days.
Verse 85
ﮗﮘﮙﮚﮛﮜ
ﮝ
˹Watch for˺ the Day We will gather the righteous before the Most Compassionate as an honoured delegation,
Verse 86
ﮞﮟﮠﮡﮢ
ﮣ
and drive the wicked to Hell like a thirsty herd.
Verse 87
None will have the right to intercede, except those who have taken a covenant from the Most Compassionate.
Verse 88
ﮮﮯﮰﮱ
ﯓ
They say, “The Most Compassionate has offspring.”
Verse 89
ﯔﯕﯖﯗ
ﯘ
You have certainly made an outrageous claim,
Verse 90
by which the heavens are about to burst, the earth to split apart, and the mountains to crumble to pieces
Verse 91
ﯣﯤﯥﯦ
ﯧ
in protest of attributing children to the Most Compassionate.
Verse 92
ﯨﯩﯪﯫﯬﯭ
ﯮ
It does not befit ˹the majesty of˺ the Most Compassionate to have children.
Verse 93
There is none in the heavens or the earth who will not return to the Most Compassionate in full submission.
Verse 94
ﯺﯻﯼﯽ
ﯾ
Indeed, He fully knows them and has counted them precisely.
Verse 95
ﯿﰀﰁﰂﰃ
ﰄ
And each of them will return to Him on the Day of Judgment all alone.
Verse 96
As for those who believe and do good, the Most Compassionate will ˹certainly˺ bless them with ˹genuine˺ love.
Verse 97
Indeed, We have made this ˹Quran˺ easy in your own language ˹O Prophet˺ so with it you may give good news to the righteous and warn those who are contentious.
Verse 98
˹Imagine˺ how many peoples We have destroyed before them! Do you ˹still˺ see any of them, or ˹even˺ hear from them the slightest sound?
