Surah Maryam — Mary

كۤهٰيٰعۤصۤ ۚ

Kāf hā yā ‘aīn ṣād.

Kāf, Hā, Yā, ʿAyn, Ṣād.

ذِكْرُ رَحْمَتِ رَبِّكَ عَبْدَهٗ زَكَرِيَّا ۚ

Żikru raḥmati rabbika ‘abdahū zakariyyā.

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

اِذْ نَادٰى رَبَّهٗ نِدَاۤءً خَفِيًّا

Iż nādā rabbahū nidā'an khafiyyā(n).

When he called to his Lord a private call [i.e., supplication].

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّيْ وَهَنَ الْعَظْمُ مِنِّيْ وَاشْتَعَلَ الرَّأْسُ شَيْبًا وَّلَمْ اَكُنْۢ بِدُعَاۤىِٕكَ رَبِّ شَقِيًّا

Qāla rabbi innī wahanal-‘aẓmu minnī wasyta‘alar-ra'su syaibaw wa lam akum bidu‘ā'ika rabbi syaqiyyā(n).

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 [i.e., disappointed].

وَاِنِّيْ خِفْتُ الْمَوَالِيَ مِنْ وَّرَاۤءِيْ وَكَانَتِ امْرَاَتِيْ عَاقِرًا فَهَبْ لِيْ مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ وَلِيًّا ۙ

Wa innī khiftul-mawāliya miw warā'ī wa kānatimra'atī ‘āqiran fahab lī mil ladunka waliyyā(n).

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

يَّرِثُنِيْ وَيَرِثُ مِنْ اٰلِ يَعْقُوْبَ وَاجْعَلْهُ رَبِّ رَضِيًّا

Yariṡunī wa yariṡu min āli ya‘qūba waj‘alhu rabbi raḍiyyā(n).

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

يٰزَكَرِيَّآ اِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلٰمِ ِۨاسْمُهٗ يَحْيٰىۙ لَمْ نَجْعَلْ لَّهٗ مِنْ قَبْلُ سَمِيًّا

Yā zakariyyā innā nubasysyiruka bigulāminismuhū yaḥyā, lam naj‘al lahū min qablu samiyyā(n).

[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 اَنّٰى يَكُوْنُ لِيْ غُلٰمٌ وَّكَانَتِ امْرَاَتِيْ عَاقِرًا وَّقَدْ بَلَغْتُ مِنَ الْكِبَرِ عِتِيًّا

Qāla rabbi annā yakūnu lī gulāmuw wa kānatimra'atī ‘āqiraw wa qad balagtu minal-kibari ‘itiyyā(n).

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

قَالَ كَذٰلِكَۗ قَالَ رَبُّكَ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٌ وَّقَدْ خَلَقْتُكَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلَمْ تَكُ شَيْـًٔا

Qāla każālik(a), qāla rabbuka huwa ‘alayya hayyinuw wa qad khalaqtuka min qablu wa lam taku syai'ā(n).

[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 اجْعَلْ لِّيْٓ اٰيَةً ۗقَالَ اٰيَتُكَ اَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ النَّاسَ ثَلٰثَ لَيَالٍ سَوِيًّا

Qāla rabbij‘al lī āyah(tan), qāla āyatuka allā tukalliman-nāsa ṡalāṡa layālin sawiyyā(n).

[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 عَلٰى قَوْمِهٖ مِنَ الْمِحْرَابِ فَاَوْحٰٓى اِلَيْهِمْ اَنْ سَبِّحُوْا بُكْرَةً وَّعَشِيًّا

Fa kharaja ‘alā qaumihī minal-miḥrābi fa auḥā ilaihim an sabbiḥū bukrataw wa ‘asyiyyā(n).

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

يٰيَحْيٰى خُذِ الْكِتٰبَ بِقُوَّةٍ ۗوَاٰتَيْنٰهُ الْحُكْمَ صَبِيًّاۙ

Yā yaḥyā khużil-kitāba biquwwah(tin), wa ātaināhul-ḥukma ṣabiyyā(n).

[Allāh said], "O John, take the Scripture [i.e., adhere to it] with determination." And We gave him judgement [while yet] a boy

وَّحَنَانًا مِّنْ لَّدُنَّا وَزَكٰوةً ۗوَكَانَ تَقِيًّا ۙ

Wa ḥanānam mil ladunnā wa zakāh(tan), wa kāna taqiyyā(n).

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

وَّبَرًّاۢ بِوَالِدَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ جَبَّارًا عَصِيًّا

Wa barram biwālidaihi wa lam yakun jabbāran ‘aṣiyyā(n).

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

وَسَلٰمٌ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ وُلِدَ وَيَوْمَ يَمُوْتُ وَيَوْمَ يُبْعَثُ حَيًّا ࣖ

Wa salāmun ‘alaihi yauma wulida wa yauma yamūtu wa yauma yub‘aṡu ḥayyā(n).

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

وَاذْكُرْ فِى الْكِتٰبِ مَرْيَمَۘ اِذِ انْتَبَذَتْ مِنْ اَهْلِهَا مَكَانًا شَرْقِيًّا ۙ

Ważkur fil-kitābi maryam(a), iżintabażat min ahlihā makānan syarqiyyā(n).

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

فَاتَّخَذَتْ مِنْ دُوْنِهِمْ حِجَابًاۗ فَاَرْسَلْنَآ اِلَيْهَا رُوْحَنَا فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهَا بَشَرًا سَوِيًّا

Fattakhażat min dūnihim ḥijābā(n), fa arsalnā ilaihā rūḥanā fa tamaṡṡala lahā basyaran sawiyyā(n).

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

قَالَتْ اِنِّيْٓ اَعُوْذُ بِالرَّحْمٰنِ مِنْكَ اِنْ كُنْتَ تَقِيًّا

Qālat innī a‘ūżu bir-raḥmāni minka in kunta taqiyyā(n).

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

قَالَ اِنَّمَآ اَنَا۠ رَسُوْلُ رَبِّكِۖ لِاَهَبَ لَكِ غُلٰمًا زَكِيًّا

Qāla innamā ana rasūlu rabbik(a), li'ahaba laki gulāman zakiyyā(n).

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

قَالَتْ اَنّٰى يَكُوْنُ لِيْ غُلٰمٌ وَّلَمْ يَمْسَسْنِيْ بَشَرٌ وَّلَمْ اَكُ بَغِيًّا

Qālat annā yakūnu lī gulāmuw wa lam yamsasnī basyaruw wa lam aku bagiyyā(n).

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

قَالَ كَذٰلِكِۚ قَالَ رَبُّكِ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٌۚ وَلِنَجْعَلَهٗٓ اٰيَةً لِّلنَّاسِ وَرَحْمَةً مِّنَّاۚ وَكَانَ اَمْرًا مَّقْضِيًّا

Qāla każālik(a), qāla rabbuka huwa ‘alayya hayyin(un), wa linaj‘alahū āyatal lin-nāsi wa raḥmatam minnā, wa kāna amram maqḍiyyā(n).

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 فَانْتَبَذَتْ بِهٖ مَكَانًا قَصِيًّا

Fa ḥamalathu fantabażat bihī makānan qaṣiyyā(n).

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

فَاَجَاۤءَهَا الْمَخَاضُ اِلٰى جِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِۚ قَالَتْ يٰلَيْتَنِيْ مِتُّ قَبْلَ هٰذَا وَكُنْتُ نَسْيًا مَّنْسِيًّا

Fa ajā'ahal-makhāḍu ilā jiz‘in nakhlah(ti), qālat yā laitanī mittu qabla hāżā wa kuntu nas-yam mansiyyā(n).

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."

فَنَادٰىهَا مِنْ تَحْتِهَآ اَلَّا تَحْزَنِيْ قَدْ جَعَلَ رَبُّكِ تَحْتَكِ سَرِيًّا

Fa nādāhā min taḥtihā allā taḥzanī qad ja‘ala rabbuki taḥtaki sariyyā(n).

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

وَهُزِّيْٓ اِلَيْكِ بِجِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ تُسٰقِطْ عَلَيْكِ رُطَبًا جَنِيًّا ۖ

Wa huzzī ilaiki bijiz‘in-nakhlati tusāqiṭ ‘alaiki ruṭaban janiyyā(n).

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

فَكُلِيْ وَاشْرَبِيْ وَقَرِّيْ عَيْنًا ۚفَاِمَّا تَرَيِنَّ مِنَ الْبَشَرِ اَحَدًاۙ فَقُوْلِيْٓ اِنِّيْ نَذَرْتُ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ صَوْمًا فَلَنْ اُكَلِّمَ الْيَوْمَ اِنْسِيًّا ۚ

Fa kulī wasyrabī wa qarrī ‘ainā(n), fa immā tarayinna minal-basyari aḥadā(n), fa qūlī innī nażartu lir-raḥmāni ṣauman falan ukallimal-yauma insiyyā(n).

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.'"

فَاَتَتْ بِهٖ قَوْمَهَا تَحْمِلُهٗ ۗقَالُوْا يٰمَرْيَمُ لَقَدْ جِئْتِ شَيْـًٔا فَرِيًّا

Fa atat bihī qaumahā taḥmiluh(ū), qālū yā maryamu laqad ji'ti syai'an fariyyā(n).

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

يٰٓاُخْتَ هٰرُوْنَ مَا كَانَ اَبُوْكِ امْرَاَ سَوْءٍ وَّمَا كَانَتْ اُمُّكِ بَغِيًّا ۖ

Yā ukhta hārūna kāna abūkimra'a sau'iw wa mā kānat ummuki bagiyyā(n).

O sister [i.e., descendant] of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste."

فَاَشَارَتْ اِلَيْهِۗ قَالُوْا كَيْفَ نُكَلِّمُ مَنْ كَانَ فِى الْمَهْدِ صَبِيًّا

Fa asyārat ilaīh(i), qālū kaifa nukallimu man kāna fil-mahdi ṣabiyyā(n).

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

قَالَ اِنِّيْ عَبْدُ اللّٰهِ ۗاٰتٰىنِيَ الْكِتٰبَ وَجَعَلَنِيْ نَبِيًّا ۙ

Qāla innī ‘abdullāh(i), ātāniyal-kitāba wa ja‘alanī nabiyyā(n).

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

وَّجَعَلَنِيْ مُبٰرَكًا اَيْنَ مَا كُنْتُۖ وَاَوْصٰنِيْ بِالصَّلٰوةِ وَالزَّكٰوةِ مَا دُمْتُ حَيًّا ۖ

Wa ja‘alanī mubārakan aina mā kunt(u), wa auṣānī biṣ-ṣalāti waz-zakāti mā dumtu ḥayyā(n).

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

وَّبَرًّاۢ بِوَالِدَتِيْ وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْنِيْ جَبَّارًا شَقِيًّا

Wa barram biwālidatī wa lam yaj‘alnī jabbāran syaqiyyā(n).

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

وَالسَّلٰمُ عَلَيَّ يَوْمَ وُلِدْتُّ وَيَوْمَ اَمُوْتُ وَيَوْمَ اُبْعَثُ حَيًّا

Was-salāmu ‘alayya yauma wulittu wa yauma amūtu wa yauma ub‘aṡu ḥayyā(n).

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

ذٰلِكَ عِيْسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ ۚقَوْلَ الْحَقِّ الَّذِيْ فِيْهِ يَمْتَرُوْنَ

Żālika ‘īsabnu maryam(a), qaulal-ḥaqqil-lażī fīhi yamtarūn(a).

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

مَا كَانَ لِلّٰهِ اَنْ يَّتَّخِذَ مِنْ وَّلَدٍ سُبْحٰنَهٗ ۗاِذَا قَضٰٓى اَمْرًا فَاِنَّمَا يَقُوْلُ لَهٗ كُنْ فَيَكُوْنُ ۗ

Mā kāna lillāhi ay yattakhiża miw waladin subḥānah(ū), iżā qaḍā amran fa innamā yaqūlu lahū kun fa yakūn(u).

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

وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ رَبِّيْ وَرَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوْهُ ۗهٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِيْمٌ

Wa innallāha rabbī wa rabbukum fa‘budūh(u), hāżā ṣirāṭum mustaqīm(un).

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

فَاخْتَلَفَ الْاَحْزَابُ مِنْۢ بَيْنِهِمْۚ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ مَّشْهَدِ يَوْمٍ عَظِيْمٍ

Fakhtalafal-aḥzābu mim bainihim, fa wailul lil-lażīna kafarū mim masyhadi yaumin ‘aẓīm(in).

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

اَسْمِعْ بِهِمْ وَاَبْصِرْۙ يَوْمَ يَأْتُوْنَنَا لٰكِنِ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ الْيَوْمَ فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيْنٍ

Asmi‘ bihim wa abṣir, yauma ya'tūnanā lākiniẓ-ẓālimūnal-yauma fī ḍalālim mubīn(in).

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

وَاَنْذِرْهُمْ يَوْمَ الْحَسْرَةِ اِذْ قُضِيَ الْاَمْرُۘ وَهُمْ فِيْ غَفْلَةٍ وَّهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ

Wa anżirhum yaumal-ḥasrati iż quḍiyal-amr(u), wa hum fī gaflatiw wa hum lā yu'minūn(a).

And warn them, [O Muḥammad], 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.

اِنَّا نَحْنُ نَرِثُ الْاَرْضَ وَمَنْ عَلَيْهَا وَاِلَيْنَا يُرْجَعُوْنَ ࣖ

Innā naḥnu nariṡul-arḍa wa man ‘alaihā wa ilainā yurja‘ūn(a).

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

وَاذْكُرْ فِى الْكِتٰبِ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ ەۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ صِدِّيْقًا نَّبِيًّا

Ważkur fil-kitābi ibrāhīm(a), innahū kāna ṣiddīqan nabiyyā(n).

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

اِذْ قَالَ لِاَبِيْهِ يٰٓاَبَتِ لِمَ تَعْبُدُ مَا لَا يَسْمَعُ وَلَا يُبْصِرُ وَلَا يُغْنِيْ عَنْكَ شَيْـًٔا

Iż qāla li'abīhi yā abati lima ta‘budu mā lā yasma‘u wa lā yubṣiru wa lā yugnī ‘anka syai'ā(n).

[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?

يٰٓاَبَتِ اِنِّيْ قَدْ جَاۤءَنِيْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ مَا لَمْ يَأْتِكَ فَاتَّبِعْنِيْٓ اَهْدِكَ صِرَاطًا سَوِيًّا

Yā abati innī qad jā'anī minal-‘ilmi mā lam ya'tika fattabi‘nī ahdika ṣirāṭan sawiyyā(n).

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.

يٰٓاَبَتِ لَا تَعْبُدِ الشَّيْطٰنَۗ اِنَّ الشَّيْطٰنَ كَانَ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ عَصِيًّا

Yā abati lā ta‘budisy-syaiṭān(a), innasy-syaiṭāna kāna lir-raḥmāni ‘aṣiyyā(n).

O my father, do not worship [i.e., obey] Satan. Indeed Satan has ever been, to the Most Merciful, disobedient.

يٰٓاَبَتِ اِنِّيْٓ اَخَافُ اَنْ يَّمَسَّكَ عَذَابٌ مِّنَ الرَّحْمٰنِ فَتَكُوْنَ لِلشَّيْطٰنِ وَلِيًّا

Yā abati innī akhāfu ay yamassaka ‘ażābum minar-raḥmāni fa takūna lisy-syaiṭāni waliyyā(n).

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 اَرَاغِبٌ اَنْتَ عَنْ اٰلِهَتِيْ يٰٓاِبْرٰهِيْمُ ۚ لَىِٕنْ لَّمْ تَنْتَهِ لَاَرْجُمَنَّكَ وَاهْجُرْنِيْ مَلِيًّا

Qāla arāgibun anta ‘an ālihatī yā ibrāhīm(u), la'illam tantahi la'arjumannaka wahjurnī maliyyā(n).

[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 سَلٰمٌ عَلَيْكَۚ سَاَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكَ رَبِّيْۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ بِيْ حَفِيًّا

Qāla salāmun ‘alaik(a), sa'astagfiru laka rabbī, innahū kāna bī ḥafiyyā(n).

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

وَاَعْتَزِلُكُمْ وَمَا تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَاَدْعُوْا رَبِّيْۖ عَسٰٓى اَلَّآ اَكُوْنَ بِدُعَاۤءِ رَبِّيْ شَقِيًّا

Wa a‘tazilukum wa mā tad‘ūna min dūnillāhi wa ad‘ū rabbī, ‘asā allā akūna bidu‘ā'i rabbī syaqiyyā(n).

And I will leave you and those you invoke other than Allāh and will invoke my Lord. I expect that I will not be in invocation to my Lord unhappy [i.e., disappointed]."

فَلَمَّا اعْتَزَلَهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ ۙوَهَبْنَا لَهٗٓ اِسْحٰقَ وَيَعْقُوْبَۗ وَكُلًّا جَعَلْنَا نَبِيًّا

Falamma‘tazalahum wa mā ya‘budūna min dūnillāh(i), wahabnā lahū isḥāqa wa ya‘qūb(a), wa kullan ja‘alnā nabiyyā(n).

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

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ رَّحْمَتِنَا وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ عَلِيًّا ࣖ

Wa wahabnā lahum mir raḥmatinā wa ja‘alnā lahum lisāna ṣidqin ‘aliyyā(n).

And We gave them of Our mercy, and We made for them a mention [i.e., reputation] of high honor.

وَاذْكُرْ فِى الْكِتٰبِ مُوْسٰٓىۖ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ مُخْلَصًا وَّكَانَ رَسُوْلًا نَّبِيًّا

Ważkur fil-kitābi mūsā, innahū kāna mukhlaṣaw wa kāna rasūlan nabiyyā(n).

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

وَنَادَيْنٰهُ مِنْ جَانِبِ الطُّوْرِ الْاَيْمَنِ وَقَرَّبْنٰهُ نَجِيًّا

Wa nādaināhu min jānibiṭ-ṭūril-aimani wa qarrabnāhu najiyyā(n).

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

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهٗ مِنْ رَّحْمَتِنَآ اَخَاهُ هٰرُوْنَ نَبِيًّا

Wa wahabnā lahū mir raḥmatinā akhāhu hārūna nabiyyā(n).

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

وَاذْكُرْ فِى الْكِتٰبِ اِسْمٰعِيْلَ ۖاِنَّهٗ كَانَ صَادِقَ الْوَعْدِ وَكَانَ رَسُوْلًا نَّبِيًّا ۚ

Ważkur fil-kitābi ismā‘īl(a), innahū kāna ṣādiqal-wa‘di wa kāna rasūlan nabiyyā(n).

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

وَكَانَ يَأْمُرُ اَهْلَهٗ بِالصَّلٰوةِ وَالزَّكٰوةِۖ وَكَانَ عِنْدَ رَبِّهٖ مَرْضِيًّا

Wa kāna ya'muru ahlahū biṣ-ṣalāti waz-zakāh(ti), wa kāna ‘inda rabbihī marḍiyyā(n).

And he used to enjoin on his people prayer and zakāh and was to his Lord pleasing [i.e., accepted by Him].

وَاذْكُرْ فِى الْكِتٰبِ اِدْرِيْسَۖ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ صِدِّيْقًا نَّبِيًّا ۙ

Ważkur fil-kitābi idrīs(a), innahū kāna ṣādiqan nabiyyā(n).

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

وَّرَفَعْنٰهُ مَكَانًا عَلِيًّا

Wa rafa‘nāhu makānan ‘aliyyā(n).

And We raised him to a high station.

اُولٰۤىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ اَنْعَمَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِّنَ النَّبِيّٖنَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ اٰدَمَ وَمِمَّنْ حَمَلْنَا مَعَ نُوْحٍۖ وَّمِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ وَاِسْرَاۤءِيْلَ ۖوَمِمَّنْ هَدَيْنَا وَاجْتَبَيْنَاۗ اِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتُ الرَّحْمٰنِ خَرُّوْا سُجَّدًا وَّبُكِيًّا ۩

Ulā'ikal-lażīna an‘amallāhu ‘alaihim minan-nabiyyīna min żurriyyati ādama wa mimman ḥamalnā ma‘a nūḥ(in), wa min żurriyyati ibrāhīma wa isrā'īl(a), wa mimman hadainā wajtabainā, iżā tutlā ‘alaihim āyātur-raḥmāni kharrū sujjadaw wa bukiyyā(n).

Those were the ones upon whom Allāh 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 [i.e., Jacob], 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 مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ اَضَاعُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاتَّبَعُوا الشَّهَوٰتِ فَسَوْفَ يَلْقَوْنَ غَيًّا ۙ

Fa khalafa mim ba‘dihim khalfun aḍā‘uṣ-ṣalāta wattaba‘usy-syahawāti fa saufa yalqauna gayyā(n).

But there came after them successors [i.e., later generations] who neglected prayer and pursued desires; so they are going to meet evil -

اِلَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَاٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ يَدْخُلُوْنَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَا يُظْلَمُوْنَ شَيْـًٔا ۙ

Illā man tāba wa āmana wa ‘amila ṣāliḥan fa ulā'ika yadkhulūnal-jannata wa lā yuẓlamūna syai'ā(n).

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

جَنّٰتِ عَدْنِ ِۨالَّتِيْ وَعَدَ الرَّحْمٰنُ عِبَادَهٗ بِالْغَيْبِۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ وَعْدُهٗ مَأْتِيًّا

Jannāti ‘adninil-latī wa‘adar-raḥmānu ‘ibādahū bil-gaib(i), innahū kāna wa‘duhū ma'tiyyā(n).

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

لَا يَسْمَعُوْنَ فِيْهَا لَغْوًا اِلَّا سَلٰمًاۗ وَلَهُمْ رِزْقُهُمْ فِيْهَا بُكْرَةً وَّعَشِيًّا

Lā yasma‘ūna fīhā lagwan illā salāmā(n), wa lahum rizquhum fīhā bukrataw wa ‘asyiyyā(n).

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

تِلْكَ الْجَنَّةُ الَّتِيْ نُوْرِثُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا مَنْ كَانَ تَقِيًّا

Tilkal-jannatul-latī nūriṡu min ‘ibādinā man kāna taqiyyā(n).

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

وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ اِلَّا بِاَمْرِ رَبِّكَۚ لَهٗ مَا بَيْنَ اَيْدِيْنَا وَمَا خَلْفَنَا وَمَا بَيْنَ ذٰلِكَ وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ نَسِيًّا ۚ

Wa mā natanazzalu illā bi'amri rabbik(a), lahū mā baina aidīnā wa mā khalfanā wa mā baina żālika wa mā kāna rabbuka nasiyyā(n).

[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 -

رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَاعْبُدْهُ وَاصْطَبِرْ لِعِبَادَتِهٖۗ هَلْ تَعْلَمُ لَهٗ سَمِيًّا ࣖ

Rabbus-samāwāti wal-arḍi wa mā bainahumā fa‘budhu waṣṭabir li‘ibādatih(ī), hal ta‘lamu lahū samiyyā(n).

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?"

وَيَقُوْلُ الْاِنْسَانُ ءَاِذَا مَا مِتُّ لَسَوْفَ اُخْرَجُ حَيًّا

Wa yaqūlul-insānu a'iżā mā mittu lasaufa ukhraju ḥayyā(n).

And man [i.e., the disbeliever] says, "When I have died, am I going to be brought forth alive?"

اَوَلَا يَذْكُرُ الْاِنْسَانُ اَنَّا خَلَقْنٰهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلَمْ يَكُ شَيْـًٔا

Awalā yażkurul-insānu annā khalaqnāhu min qablu wa lam yaku syai'ā(n).

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

فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَحْشُرَنَّهُمْ وَالشَّيٰطِيْنَ ثُمَّ لَنُحْضِرَنَّهُمْ حَوْلَ جَهَنَّمَ جِثِيًّا

Fa wa rabbika lanaḥsyurannahum wasy-syayāṭīna ṡumma lanuḥḍirannahum ḥaula jahannama jiṡiyyā(n).

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 لَنَنْزِعَنَّ مِنْ كُلِّ شِيْعَةٍ اَيُّهُمْ اَشَدُّ عَلَى الرَّحْمٰنِ عِتِيًّا ۚ

Ṡumma lananzi‘anna min kulli syī‘atin ayyuhum asyaddu ‘alar-raḥmāni ‘itiyyā(n).

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

ثُمَّ لَنَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ اَوْلٰى بِهَا صِلِيًّا

Ṡumma lanaḥnu a‘lamu bil-lażīna hum aulā bihā ṣiliyyā(n).

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

وَاِنْ مِّنْكُمْ اِلَّا وَارِدُهَا ۚ كَانَ عَلٰى رَبِّكَ حَتْمًا مَّقْضِيًّا ۚ

Wa im minkum illā wāriduhā, kāna ‘alā rabbika ḥatmam maqḍiyyā(n).

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

ثُمَّ نُنَجِّى الَّذِيْنَ اتَّقَوْا وَّنَذَرُ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ فِيْهَا جِثِيًّا

Ṡumma nunajjil-lażīnattaqau wa nażaruẓ-ẓālimīna fīhā jiṡiyyā(n).

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

وَاِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتُنَا بَيِّنٰتٍ قَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لِلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓاۙ اَيُّ الْفَرِيْقَيْنِ خَيْرٌ مَّقَامًا وَّاَحْسَنُ نَدِيًّا

Wa iżā tutlā ‘alaihim āyātunā bayyinātin qālal-lażīna kafarū lil-lażīna āmanū, ayyul-farīqaini khairum maqāmaw wa aḥsanu nadiyyā(n).

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 اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنْ قَرْنٍ هُمْ اَحْسَنُ اَثَاثًا وَّرِءْيًا

Wa kam ahlaknā qablahum min qarnin hum aḥsanu aṡāṡaw wa ri'yā(n).

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

قُلْ مَنْ كَانَ فِى الضَّلٰلَةِ فَلْيَمْدُدْ لَهُ الرَّحْمٰنُ مَدًّا ەۚ حَتّٰىٓ اِذَا رَاَوْا مَا يُوْعَدُوْنَ اِمَّا الْعَذَابَ وَاِمَّا السَّاعَةَ ۗفَسَيَعْلَمُوْنَ مَنْ هُوَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَّاَضْعَفُ جُنْدًا

Qul man kāna fiḍ-ḍalālati falyamdud lahur-raḥmānu maddā(n), ḥattā iżā ra'au mā yū‘adūna immal-‘ażāba wa immas-sā‘ata fa saya‘lamūna man huwa syarrum makānaw wa aḍ‘afu jundā(n).

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."

وَيَزِيْدُ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْنَ اهْتَدَوْا هُدًىۗ وَالْبٰقِيٰتُ الصّٰلِحٰتُ خَيْرٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَّخَيْرٌ مَّرَدًّا

Wa yazīdullāhul-lażīnahtadau hudā(n), wal-bāqiyātuṣ-ṣāliḥātu khairun ‘inda rabbika ṡawābaw wa khairum maraddā(n).

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

اَفَرَاَيْتَ الَّذِيْ كَفَرَ بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَقَالَ لَاُوْتَيَنَّ مَالًا وَّوَلَدًا ۗ

Afa ra'aital-lażī kafara bi'āyātinā wa qāla la'ūtayanna mālaw wa waladā(n).

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

اَطَّلَعَ الْغَيْبَ اَمِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمٰنِ عَهْدًا ۙ

Aṭṭala‘al-gaiba amittakhaża ‘indar-raḥmāni ‘ahdā(n).

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

كَلَّا ۗسَنَكْتُبُ مَا يَقُوْلُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهٗ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ مَدًّا ۙ

Kallā, sanaktubu mā yaqūlu wa namuddu lahū minal-‘ażābi maddā(n).

No! We will record what he says and extend [i.e., increase] for him from the punishment extensively.

وَّنَرِثُهٗ مَا يَقُوْلُ وَيَأْتِيْنَا فَرْدًا

Wa nariṡuhū mā yaqūlu wa ya'tīnā fardā(n).

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

وَاتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اٰلِهَةً لِّيَكُوْنُوْا لَهُمْ عِزًّا ۙ

Wattakhażū min dūnillāhi ālihatal liyakūnū lahum ‘izzā(n).

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

كَلَّا ۗسَيَكْفُرُوْنَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ وَيَكُوْنُوْنَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضِدًّا ࣖ

Kallā, sayakfurūna bi‘ibādatihim wa yakūnūna ‘alaihim ḍiddā(n).

No! They [i.e., those "gods"] will deny their worship of them and will be against them opponents [on the Day of Judgement].

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّآ اَرْسَلْنَا الشَّيٰطِيْنَ عَلَى الْكٰفِرِيْنَ تَؤُزُّهُمْ اَزًّا ۙ

Alam tara annā arsalnasy-syayāṭīna ‘alal-kāfirīna ta'uzzuhum azzā(n).

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

فَلَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَيْهِمْۗ اِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمْ عَدًّا ۗ

Falā ta‘jal ‘alaihim, innamā na‘uddu lahum ‘addā(n).

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

يَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ اِلَى الرَّحْمٰنِ وَفْدًا

Yauma naḥsyurul-muttaqīna ilar-raḥmāni wafdā(n).

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

وَنَسُوْقُ الْمُجْرِمِيْنَ اِلٰى جَهَنَّمَ وِرْدًا ۘ

Wa nasūqul-mujrimīna ilā jahannama wirdā(n).

And will drive the criminals to Hell in thirst

لَا يَمْلِكُوْنَ الشَّفَاعَةَ اِلَّا مَنِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمٰنِ عَهْدًا ۘ

Lā yamlikūnasy-syafā‘ata illā manittakhaża ‘indar-raḥmāni ‘ahdā(n).

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

وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمٰنُ وَلَدًا ۗ

Wa qāluttakhażar-raḥmānu waladā(n).

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

لَقَدْ جِئْتُمْ شَيْـًٔا اِدًّا ۙ

Laqad ji'tum syai'an iddā(n).

You have done an atrocious thing.

تَكَادُ السَّمٰوٰتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنْشَقُّ الْاَرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ الْجِبَالُ هَدًّا ۙ

Takādus-samāwātu yatafaṭṭarna minhu wa tansyaqqul-arḍu wa takhirrul-jibālu haddā(n).

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

اَنْ دَعَوْا لِلرَّحْمٰنِ وَلَدًا ۚ

An da‘au lir-raḥmāni waladā(n).

That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son.

وَمَا يَنْۢبَغِيْ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ اَنْ يَّتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا ۗ

Wa mā yambagī lir-raḥmāni ay yattakhiża waladā(n).

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

اِنْ كُلُّ مَنْ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ اِلَّآ اٰتِى الرَّحْمٰنِ عَبْدًا ۗ

In kullu man fis-samāwāti wal-arḍi illā ātir-raḥmāni ‘abdā(n).

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

لَقَدْ اَحْصٰىهُمْ وَعَدَّهُمْ عَدًّا ۗ

Laqad aḥṣāhum wa ‘addahum ‘addā(n).

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

وَكُلُّهُمْ اٰتِيْهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ فَرْدًا

Wa kulluhum ātīhi yaumal-qiyāmati fardā(n).

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

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ سَيَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ الرَّحْمٰنُ وُدًّا

Innal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti sayaj‘alu lahumur-raḥmānu wuddā(n).

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

فَاِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ وَتُنْذِرَ بِهٖ قَوْمًا لُّدًّا

Fa innamā yassarnāhu bilisānika litubasysyira bihil-muttaqīna wa tunżira bihī qaumal luddā(n).

So, [O Muḥammad], We have only made it [i.e., the Qur’ān] easy in your tongue [i.e., the Arabic language] that you may give good tidings thereby to the righteous and warn thereby a hostile people.

وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنْ قَرْنٍۗ هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُمْ مِّنْ اَحَدٍ اَوْ تَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ رِكْزًا ࣖ

Wa kam ahlaknā qablahum min qarn(in), hal tuḥissu minhum min aḥadin au tasma‘u lahum rikzā(n).

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