Surah Maryam

ڪٓهيعٓصٓ 

Kaf Ha Ya Aeen Sad.

(These letters are one of the miracles of the Quran, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings).

ذِكۡرُ رَحۡمَتِ رَبِّكَ عَبۡدَهُ ۥ زَڪَرِيَّآ

(This is) a mention of the mercy of your Lord to His slave Zakariya (Zachariah).

إِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُ ۥ نِدَآءً خَفِيًّ۬ا

When he called out his Lord (Allah) a call in secret,

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى وَهَنَ ٱلۡعَظۡمُ مِنِّى وَٱشۡتَعَلَ ٱلرَّأۡسُ شَيۡبً۬ا

Saying: "My Lord! Indeed my bones have grown feeble, and grey hair has spread on my head,

وَلَمۡ أَڪُنۢ بِدُعَآٮِٕكَ رَبِّ شَقِيًّ۬ا

And I have never been unblest in my invocation to You, O my Lord!

وَإِنِّى خِفۡتُ ٱلۡمَوَٲلِىَ مِن وَرَآءِى وَڪَانَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتِى عَاقِرً۬ا

"And Verily! I fear my relatives after me, since my wife is barren.

فَهَبۡ لِى مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيًّ۬ا

So give me from Yourself an heir,So give me from Yourself an heir,

يَرِثُنِى وَيَرِثُ مِنۡ ءَالِ يَعۡقُوبَ‌ۖ وَٱجۡعَلۡهُ رَبِّ رَضِيًّ۬ا

"Who shall inherit me, and inherit (also) the posterity of Yaqoob (Jacob) (inheritance of the religious knowledge and Prophethood, not the wealth, etc.). And make him, my Lord, one with whom You are Well-pleased!".

يَـٰزَڪَرِيَّآ إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلَـٰمٍ ٱسۡمُهُ ۥ يَحۡيَىٰ لَمۡ نَجۡعَل لَّهُ ۥ مِن قَبۡلُ سَمِيًّ۬ا

(Allah said) "O Zakariya (Zachariah)! Verily, We give you the glad tidings of a son, His name will be Yahya (John). We have given that name to none before (him)."

قَالَ رَبِّ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِى غُلَـٰمٌ۬ وَڪَانَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتِى عَاقِرً۬ا وَقَدۡ بَلَغۡتُ مِنَ ٱلۡڪِبَرِ عِتِيًّ۬ا

He said: "My Lord! How can I have a son, when my wife is barren, and I have reached the extreme old age."

قَالَ كَذَٲلِكَ

He said: "So (it will be).

قَالَ رَبُّكَ هُوَ عَلَىَّ هَيِّنٌ۬

Your Lord says; It is easy for Me.

وَقَدۡ خَلَقۡتُكَ مِن قَبۡلُ وَلَمۡ تَكُ شَيۡـًٔ۬ا

Certainly I have created you before, when you had been nothing!"

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱجۡعَل لِّىٓ ءَايَةً۬‌ۚ

(Zakariya (Zachariah)) said: "My Lord! Appoint for me a sign."

قَالَ ءَايَتُكَ أَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ ٱلنَّاسَ ثَلَـٰثَ لَيَالٍ۬ سَوِيًّ۬ا

He said: "Your sign is that you shall not speak unto mankind for three nights, though having no bodily defect."

فَخَرَجَ عَلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلۡمِحۡرَابِ فَأَوۡحَىٰٓ إِلَيۡہِمۡ أَن سَبِّحُواْ بُكۡرَةً۬ وَعَشِيًّ۬ا

Then he came out to his people from Al-Mihrab (a praying place or a private room, etc.), he told them by signs to glorify Allah's Praises in the morning and in the afternoon.

يَـٰيَحۡيَىٰ خُذِ ٱلۡڪِتَـٰبَ بِقُوَّةٍ۬‌ۖ

(It was said to his son):

"O Yahya (John)! Hold fast the Scripture (the Taurat (Torah))."

وَءَاتَيۡنَـٰهُ ٱلۡحُكۡمَ صَبِيًّ۬ا

And We gave him wisdom while yet a child.

وَحَنَانً۬ا مِّن لَّدُنَّا وَزَكَوٰةً۬‌ وَكَانَ تَقِيًّ۬ا

And (made him) sympathetic to men as a mercy (or a grant) from Us, and pure from sins (i.e. Yahya (John)) and he was righteous,

وَبَرَّۢا بِوَٲلِدَيۡهِ وَلَمۡ يَكُن جَبَّارًا عَصِيًّ۬ا

And dutiful towards his parents, and he was neither an arrogant nor disobedient (to Allah or to his parents).

وَسَلَـٰمٌ عَلَيۡهِ يَوۡمَ وُلِدَ وَيَوۡمَ يَمُوتُ وَيَوۡمَ يُبۡعَثُ حَيًّ۬ا

And Salamun (peace) be on him the day he was born, the day he dies, and the day he will be raised up to life (again)!

وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِى ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ مَرۡيَمَ إِذِ ٱنتَبَذَتۡ مِنۡ أَهۡلِهَا مَكَانً۬ا شَرۡقِيًّ۬ا

And mention in the Book (the Quran, O Muhammad SAW , the story of) Maryam (Mary), when she withdrew in seclusion from her family to a place facing east.

فَٱتَّخَذَتۡ مِن دُونِهِمۡ حِجَابً۬ا

She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them;

فَأَرۡسَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡهَا رُوحَنَا فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهَا بَشَرً۬ا سَوِيًّ۬ا

then We sent to her Our Ruh (angel Jibrael (Gabriel)), and he appeared before her in the form of a man in all respects.

قَالَتۡ إِنِّىٓ أَعُوذُ بِٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ مِنكَ إِن كُنتَ تَقِيًّ۬ا

She said: "Verily! I seek refuge with the Most Beneficent (Allah) from you, if you do fear Allah."

قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۟ رَسُولُ رَبِّكِ لِأَهَبَ لَكِ غُلَـٰمً۬ا زَڪِيًّ۬ا

(The angel) said: "I am only a Messenger from your Lord, (to announce) to you the gift of a righteous son."

قَالَتۡ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِى غُلَـٰمٌ۬ وَلَمۡ يَمۡسَسۡنِى بَشَرٌ۬ وَلَمۡ أَكُ بَغِيًّ۬ا

She said: "How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, nor am I unchaste?"

قَالَ كَذَٲلِكِ

He said: "So (it will be),

قَالَ رَبُّكِ هُوَ عَلَىَّ هَيِّنٌ۬‌ۖ

your Lord said: That is easy for Me (Allah):

وَلِنَجۡعَلَهُ ۥۤ ءَايَةً۬ لِّلنَّاسِ وَرَحۡمَةً۬ مِّنَّا‌ۚ

And (We wish) to appoint him as a sign to mankind and a mercy from Us (Allah),

وَكَانَ أَمۡرً۬ا مَّقۡضِيًّ۬ا

and it is a matter (already) decreed, (by Allah). "

فَحَمَلَتۡهُ فَٱنتَبَذَتۡ بِهِۦ مَكَانً۬ا قَصِيًّ۬ا

So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a far place (i.e. Bethlehem valley about 4-6 miles from Jerusalem).

فَأَجَآءَهَا ٱلۡمَخَاضُ إِلَىٰ جِذۡعِ ٱلنَّخۡلَةِ

And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a date-palm.

قَالَتۡ يَـٰلَيۡتَنِى مِتُّ قَبۡلَ هَـٰذَا وَڪُنتُ نَسۡيً۬ا مَّنسِيًّ۬ا

She said: "Would that I had died before this, and had been forgotten and out of sight!"

فَنَادَٮٰهَا مِن تَحۡتِہَآ أَلَّا تَحۡزَنِى قَدۡ جَعَلَ رَبُّكِ تَحۡتَكِ سَرِيًّ۬ا

Then (the babe Iesa (Jesus) or Jibrael (Gabriel)) cried unto her from below her, saying:

"Grieve not! Your Lord has provided a water stream under you;

وَهُزِّىٓ إِلَيۡكِ بِجِذۡعِ ٱلنَّخۡلَةِ تُسَـٰقِطۡ عَلَيۡكِ رُطَبً۬ا جَنِيًّ۬ا

"And shake the trunk of date-palm towards you, it will let fall fresh ripe-dates upon you."

فَكُلِى وَٱشۡرَبِى وَقَرِّى عَيۡنً۬ا‌ۖ

"So eat and drink and be glad,

فَإِمَّا تَرَيِنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡبَشَرِ أَحَدً۬ا فَقُولِىٓ إِنِّى نَذَرۡتُ لِلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ صَوۡمً۬ا فَلَنۡ أُڪَلِّمَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ إِنسِيًّ۬ا

and if you see any human being, say: Verily! I have vowed a fast unto the Most Beneficent (Allah) so I shall not speak to any human being this day."

فَأَتَتۡ بِهِۦ قَوۡمَهَا تَحۡمِلُهُ ۥ‌ۖ

Then she brought him (the baby) to her people, carrying him.

قَالُواْ يَـٰمَرۡيَمُ لَقَدۡ جِئۡتِ شَيۡـًٔ۬ا فَرِيًّ۬ا

They said: "O Mary! Indeed you have brought a thing Fariya (an unheard mighty thing).

يَـٰٓأُخۡتَ هَـٰرُونَ مَا كَانَ أَبُوكِ ٱمۡرَأَ سَوۡءٍ۬ وَمَا كَانَتۡ أُمُّكِ بَغِيًّ۬ا

"O sister (i.e. the like) of Haroon (Aaron) (not the brother of Moosa (Moses), but he was another pious man at the time of Maryam (Mary))! Your father was not a man who used to commit adultery, nor your mother was an unchaste woman."

فَأَشَارَتۡ إِلَيۡهِ‌ۖ

Then she pointed to him.

قَالُواْ كَيۡفَ نُكَلِّمُ مَن كَانَ فِى ٱلۡمَهۡدِ صَبِيًّ۬ا

They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?"

قَالَ إِنِّى عَبۡدُ ٱللَّهِ ءَاتَٮٰنِىَ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ وَجَعَلَنِى نَبِيًّ۬ا

"He (Iesa (Jesus)) said: Verily! I am a slave of Allah, He has given me the Scripture and made me a Prophet;"

وَجَعَلَنِى مُبَارَكًا أَيۡنَ مَا ڪُنتُ

"And He has made me blessed wheresoever I be,

وَأَوۡصَـٰنِى بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱلزَّڪَوٰةِ مَا دُمۡتُ حَيًّ۬ا

and has enjoined on me Salat (prayer), and Zakat, as long as I live."

وَبَرَّۢا بِوَٲلِدَتِى وَلَمۡ يَجۡعَلۡنِى جَبَّارً۬ا شَقِيًّ۬ا

"And dutiful to my mother, and made me not arrogant, unblest.

وَٱلسَّلَـٰمُ عَلَىَّ يَوۡمَ وُلِدتُّ وَيَوۡمَ أَمُوتُ وَيَوۡمَ أُبۡعَثُ حَيًّ۬ا

"And Salam (peace) be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive!"

ذَٲلِكَ عِيسَى ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ‌ۚ

Such is Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary).

قَوۡلَ ٱلۡحَقِّ ٱلَّذِى فِيهِ يَمۡتَرُونَ

(it is) a statement of truth, about which they doubt (or dispute).

مَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ مِن وَلَدٍ۬‌ۖ سُبۡحَـٰنَهُ ۥۤ‌ۚ

It befits not (the Majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son (this refers to the slander of Christians against Allah, by saying that Iesa (Jesus) is the son of Allah). Glorified (and Exalted be He above all that they associate with Him).

إِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمۡرً۬ا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُ ۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ

When He decrees a thing, He only says to it, "Be!" and it is.

وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّى وَرَبُّكُمۡ فَٱعۡبُدُوهُ‌ۚ

(Iesa (Jesus) said):

"And verily Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him (Alone).

هَـٰذَا صِرَٲطٌ۬ مُّسۡتَقِيمٌ۬

That is the Straight Path. (Allah's Religion of Islamic Monotheism which He did ordain for all of His Prophets)."

(Tafsir At-Tabaree)

فَٱخۡتَلَفَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِہِمۡ‌ۖ

Then the sects differed (i.e. the Christians about Iesa (Jesus)),

فَوَيۡلٌ۬ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن مَّشۡہَدِ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٍ

so woe unto the disbelievers (those who gave false witness by saying that Iesa (Jesus) is the son of Allah) from the meeting of a great Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection, when they will be thrown in the blazing Fire).

أَسۡمِعۡ بِہِمۡ وَأَبۡصِرۡ يَوۡمَ يَأۡتُونَنَا‌ۖ

How clearly will they (polytheists and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) see and hear, the Day when they will appear before Us!

لَـٰكِنِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ۬ مُّبِينٍ۬

But the Zalimoon (polytheists and wrong-doers) today are in plain error.

وَأَنذِرۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡحَسۡرَةِ إِذۡ قُضِىَ ٱلۡأَمۡرُوَهُمۡ فِى غَفۡلَةٍ۬ وَهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ

And warn them (O Muhammad SAW) of the Day of grief and regrets, when the case has been decided, while (now) they are in a state of carelessness, and they believe not.

إِنَّا نَحۡنُ نَرِثُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَنۡ عَلَيۡہَاوَإِلَيۡنَا يُرۡجَعُونَ

Verily! We will inherit the earth and whatsoever is thereon. And to Us they all shall be returned,

وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِى ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ إِبۡرَٲهِيمَ‌ۚ

And mention in the Book (the Quran) Ibrahim (Abraham).

إِنَّهُ ۥ كَانَ صِدِّيقً۬ا نَّبِيًّا

Verily! He was a man of truth, a Prophet.

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ لِمَ تَعۡبُدُ مَا لَا يَسۡمَعُ وَلَا يُبۡصِرُوَلَا يُغۡنِى عَنكَ شَيۡـًٔ۬ا

When he said to his father:

"O my father! Why do you worship that which hears not, sees not and cannot avail you in anything?

يَـٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّى قَدۡ جَآءَنِى مِنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِ مَا لَمۡ يَأۡتِكَ فَٱتَّبِعۡنِىٓ أَهۡدِكَ صِرَٲطً۬ا سَوِيًّ۬ا

"O my father! Verily! There has come to me of knowledge that which came not unto you. So follow me. I will guide you to a Straight Path.

يَـٰٓأَبَتِ لَا تَعۡبُدِ ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنَ‌ۖ

"O my father! Worship not Shaitan (Satan).

إِنَّ ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنَ كَانَ لِلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ عَصِيًّ۬ا

Verily! Shaitan (Satan) has been a rebel against the Most Beneficent (Allah).

يَـٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يَمَسَّكَ عَذَابٌ۬ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ فَتَكُونَ لِلشَّيۡطَـٰنِ وَلِيًّ۬ا

"O my father! Verily! I fear lest a torment from the Most Beneficent (Allah) overtake you, so that you become a companion of Shaitan (Satan) (in the Hell-fire)."

(Tafsir Al-Qurtubee)

قَالَ أَرَاغِبٌ أَنتَ عَنۡ ءَالِهَتِى يَـٰٓإِبۡرَٲهِيمُ‌ۖ

He (the father) said:

"Do you reject my gods, O Ibrahim (Abraham)?

لَٮِٕن لَّمۡ تَنتَهِ لَأَرۡجُمَنَّكَ‌ۖ وَٱهۡجُرۡنِى مَلِيًّ۬ا

If you stop not (this), I will indeed stone you. So get away from me safely before I punish you."

قَالَ سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَيۡكَ‌ۖ سَأَسۡتَغۡفِرُ لَكَ رَبِّىٓ‌ۖ إِنَّهُ ۥ كَانَ بِى حَفِيًّ۬ا

Ibrahim (Abraham) said:

"Peace be on you! I will ask Forgiveness of my Lord for you. Verily! He is unto me, Ever Most Gracious.

وَأَعۡتَزِلُكُمۡ وَمَا تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَدۡعُواْ رَبِّى

"And I shall turn away from you and from those whom you invoke besides Allah. And I shall call on my Lord;

عَسَىٰٓ أَلَّآ أَكُونَ بِدُعَآءِ رَبِّى شَقِيًّ۬ا

and I hope that I shall not be unblest in my invocation to my Lord."

فَلَمَّا ٱعۡتَزَلَهُمۡ وَمَا يَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ

So when he had turned away from them and from those whom they worshipped besides Allah,

وَهَبۡنَا لَهُ ۥۤ إِسۡحَـٰقَ وَيَعۡقُوبَ‌ۖ وَكُلاًّ۬ جَعَلۡنَا نَبِيًّ۬ا

We gave him Ishaque (Isaac) and Yaqoob (Jacob), and each one of them We made a Prophet.

وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهُم مِّن رَّحۡمَتِنَا وَجَعَلۡنَا لَهُمۡ لِسَانَ صِدۡقٍ عَلِيًّ۬ا

And We gave them of Our Mercy (a good provision in plenty), and We granted them honour on the tongues (of all the nations, i.e everybody remembers them with a good praise).

وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِى ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ مُوسَىٰٓ‌ۚ

And mention in the Book (this Quran) Moosa (Moses).

إِنَّهُ ۥ كَانَ مُخۡلَصً۬ا وَكَانَ رَسُولاً۬ نَّبِيًّ۬ا

وَنَـٰدَيۡنَـٰهُ مِن جَانِبِ ٱلطُّورِ ٱلۡأَيۡمَنِ وَقَرَّبۡنَـٰهُ نَجِيًّ۬ا

And We called him from the right side of the Mount, and made him draw near to Us for a talk with him (Moosa (Moses)).

وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهُ ۥ مِن رَّحۡمَتِنَآ أَخَاهُ هَـٰرُونَ نَبِيًّ۬ا

وَكَانَ يَأۡمُرُ أَهۡلَهُ ۥ بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱلزَّكَوٰةِ

And he used to enjoin on his family and his people As-Salat (the prayers) and the Zakat,

وَكَانَ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦ مَرۡضِيًّ۬ا

and his Lord was pleased with him.

وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِى ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ إِدۡرِيسَ‌ۚ إِنَّهُ ۥ كَانَ صِدِّيقً۬ا نَّبِيًّ۬ا

أُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنۡعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡہِم مِّنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ مِن ذُرِّيَّةِ ءَادَمَ وَمِمَّنۡ حَمَلۡنَا مَعَ نُوحٍ۬

Those were they unto whom Allah bestowed His Grace from among the Prophets, of the offspring of Adam, and of those whom We carried (in the ship) with Nooh (Noah),

وَمِن ذُرِّيَّةِ إِبۡرَٲهِيمَ وَإِسۡرَٲٓءِيلَ وَمِمَّنۡ هَدَيۡنَا وَٱجۡتَبَيۡنَآ‌ۚ

and of the offspring of Ibrahim (Abraham) and Israel and from among those whom We guided and chose.

إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ خَرُّواْ سُجَّدً۬ا وَبُكِيًّ۬ا

When the Verses of the Most Beneficent (Allah) were recited unto them, they fell down prostrating and weeping. ۩

فَخَلَفَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ خَلۡفٌ أَضَاعُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَٱتَّبَعُواْ ٱلشَّہَوَٲتِ‌ۖ

Then, there has succeeded them a posterity who have given up As-Salat (the prayers) (i.e. made their Salat (prayers) to be lost, either by not offering them or by not offering them perfectly or by not offering them in their proper fixed times, etc.) and have followed lusts.

فَسَوۡفَ يَلۡقَوۡنَ غَيًّا

So they will be thrown in Hell.

إِلَّا مَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَـٰلِحً۬ا فَأُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ يَدۡخُلُونَ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَلَا يُظۡلَمُونَ شَيۡـًٔ۬ا

Except those who repent and believe (in the Oneness of Allah and His Messenger Muhammad SAW), and work righteousness. Such will enter Paradise and they will not be wronged in aught.

جَنَّـٰتِ عَدۡنٍ ٱلَّتِى وَعَدَ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنُ عِبَادَهُ ۥ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِ‌ۚ

(They will enter) Adn (Eden) Paradise (everlasting Gardens), which the Most Beneficent (Allah) has promised to His slaves in the unseen:

إِنَّهُ ۥ كَانَ وَعۡدُهُ ۥ مَأۡتِيًّ۬ا

Verily! His Promise must come to pass.

لَّا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيہَا لَغۡوًا إِلَّا سَلَـٰمً۬ا‌ۖ

They shall not hear therein (in Paradise) any Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk), but only Salam (salutations of peace).

وَلَهُمۡ رِزۡقُهُمۡ فِيہَا بُكۡرَةً۬ وَعَشِيًّ۬ا

And they will have therein their sustenance, morning and afternoon. (See (V.40:55)).

تِلۡكَ ٱلۡجَنَّةُ ٱلَّتِى نُورِثُ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا مَن كَانَ تَقِيًّ۬ا

Such is the Paradise which We shall give as an inheritance to those of Our slaves who have been Al-Muttaqoon (pious and righteous persons - See V.2:2).

وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ إِلَّا بِأَمۡرِ رَبِّكَ‌ۖ

And we (angels) descend not except by the Command of your Lord (O Muhammad SAW).

لَهُ ۥ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِينَا وَمَا خَلۡفَنَا وَمَا بَيۡنَ ذَٲلِكَ‌ۚ

To Him belongs what is before us and what is behind us, and what is between those two,

وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ نَسِيًّ۬ا

and your Lord is never forgetful,

رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَہُمَافَٱعۡبُدۡهُ وَٱصۡطَبِرۡ لِعِبَـٰدَتِهِۦ‌ۚ

Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, so worship Him (Alone) and be constant and patient in His worship.

هَلۡ تَعۡلَمُ لَهُ ۥ سَمِيًّ۬ا

Do you know of any who is similar to Him?

(of course none is similar or coequal or comparable to Him, and He has none as partner with Him).

(There is nothing like unto Him and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer).

وَيَقُولُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ أَءِذَا مَا مِتُّ لَسَوۡفَ أُخۡرَجُ حَيًّا

And man (the disbeliever) says: "When I am dead, shall I then be raised up alive?"

أَوَلَا يَذۡڪُرُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ أَنَّا خَلَقۡنَـٰهُ مِن قَبۡلُ وَلَمۡ يَكُ شَيۡـًٔ۬ا

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

فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَحۡشُرَنَّهُمۡ وَٱلشَّيَـٰطِينَ ثُمَّ لَنُحۡضِرَنَّهُمۡ حَوۡلَ جَهَنَّمَ جِثِيًّ۬ا

So by your Lord, surely, We shall gather them together, and (also) the Shayatin (devils) (with them), then We shall bring them round Hell on their knees.

ثُمَّ لَنَنزِعَنَّ مِن كُلِّ شِيعَةٍ أَيُّہُمۡ أَشَدُّ عَلَى ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ عِتِيًّ۬ا

Then indeed We shall drag out from every sect all those who were worst in obstinate rebellion against the Most Beneficent (Allah).

ثُمَّ لَنَحۡنُ أَعۡلَمُ بِٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ أَوۡلَىٰ بِہَا صِلِيًّ۬ا

Then, verily, We know best those who are most worthy of being burnt therein.

وَإِن مِّنكُمۡ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَا‌ۚ

There is not one of you but will pass over it (Hell);

كَانَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ حَتۡمً۬ا مَّقۡضِيًّ۬ا

this is with your Lord; a Decree which must be accomplished.

ثُمَّ نُنَجِّى ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَواْ وَّنَذَرُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ فِيہَا جِثِيًّ۬ا

Then We shall save those who use to fear Allah and were dutiful to Him. And We shall leave the Zalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers, etc.) therein (humbled) to their knees (in Hell).

وَإِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَـٰتُنَا بَيِّنَـٰتٍ۬ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ

And when Our Clear Verses are recited to them, those who disbelieve (the rich and strong among the pagans of Quraish who live a life of luxury) say to those who believe (the weak, poor companions of Prophet Muhammad SAW who have a hard life):

أَىُّ ٱلۡفَرِيقَيۡنِ خَيۡرٌ۬ مَّقَامً۬ا وَأَحۡسَنُ نَدِيًّ۬ا

"Which of the two groups (i.e. believers and disbelievers) is best in (point of) position and as regards station (place of council for consultation)."

وَكَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا قَبۡلَهُم مِّن قَرۡنٍ هُمۡ أَحۡسَنُ أَثَـٰثً۬ا وَرِءۡيً۬ا

And how many a generation (past nations) have We destroyed before them, who were better in wealth, goods and outward appearance?

قُلۡ مَن كَانَ فِى ٱلضَّلَـٰلَةِ فَلۡيَمۡدُدۡ لَهُ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنُ مَدًّا‌ۚ

Say (O Muhammad SAW) whoever is in error, the Most Beneficent (Allah) will extend (the rope) to him,

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا رَأَوۡاْ مَا يُوعَدُونَ إِمَّا ٱلۡعَذَابَ وَإِمَّا ٱلسَّاعَةَ

until, when they see that which they were promised, either the torment or the Hour,

فَسَيَعۡلَمُونَ مَنۡ هُوَ شَرٌّ۬ مَّكَانً۬ا وَأَضۡعَفُ جُندً۬ا

they will come to know who is worst in position, and who is weaker in forces.

(This is the answer for the Verse No.19:73)

وَيَزِيدُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱهۡتَدَوۡاْ هُدً۬ى‌ۗ

And Allah increases in guidance those who walk aright (true believers in the Oneness of Allah who fear Allah much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden), and love Allah much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)).

وَٱلۡبَـٰقِيَـٰتُ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتُ خَيۡرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابً۬ا وَخَيۡرٌ۬ مَّرَدًّا

And the righteous good deeds that last, are better with your Lord, for reward and better for resort.

أَفَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِى ڪَفَرَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا وَقَالَ لَأُوتَيَنَّ مَالاً۬ وَوَلَدًا

Have you seen him who disbelieved in Our Ayat (this Quran and Muhammad SAW) and (yet) says: "I shall certainly be given wealth and children (if I will be alive (again)),"

أَطَّلَعَ ٱلۡغَيۡبَ أَمِ ٱتَّخَذَ عِندَ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ عَهۡدً۬ا

Has he known the unseen or has he taken a covenant from the Most Beneficent (Allah)?

ڪَلَّا‌ۚ

Nay!

سَنَكۡتُبُ مَا يَقُولُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهُ ۥ مِنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ مَدًّ۬ا

We shall record what he says, and We shall increase his torment (in the Hell);

وَنَرِثُهُ ۥ مَا يَقُولُ وَيَأۡتِينَا فَرۡدً۬ا

And We shall inherit from him (at his death) all that he talks of (i.e. wealth and children which We have bestowed upon him in this world), and he shall come to Us alone.

وَٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ءَالِهَةً۬ لِّيَكُونُواْ لَهُمۡ عِزًّ۬ا

And they have taken (for worship) aliha (gods) besides Allah, that they might give them honour, power and glory (and also protect them from Allahs Punishment etc.).

كَلَّا‌ۚ

Nay,

سَيَكۡفُرُونَ بِعِبَادَتِہِمۡ وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَيۡہِمۡ ضِدًّا

but they (the so-called gods) will deny their worship of them, and become opponents to them (on the Day of Resurrection).

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينَ عَلَى ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ تَؤُزُّهُمۡ أَزًّ۬ا

See you not that We have sent the Shayatin (devils) against the disbelievers to push them to do evil.

فَلَا تَعۡجَلۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ‌ۖ إِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمۡ عَدًّ۬ا

So make no haste against them; We only count out to them a (limited) number (of the days of the life of this world and delay their term so that they may increase in evil and sins).

يَوۡمَ نَحۡشُرُ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ إِلَى ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ وَفۡدً۬ا

The Day We shall gather the Muttaqoon (pious - see V.2:2) unto the Most Beneficent (Allah), like a delegate (presented before a king for honour).

وَنَسُوقُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ وِرۡدً۬ا

And We shall drive the Mujrimoon (polytheists, sinners, criminals, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, etc.) to Hell, in a thirsty state (like a thirsty herd driven down to water),

لَّا يَمۡلِكُونَ ٱلشَّفَـٰعَةَ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱتَّخَذَ عِندَ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ عَهۡدً۬ا

None shall have the power of intercession, but such a one as has received permission (or promise) from the Most Beneficent (Allah).

وَقَالُواْ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنُ وَلَدً۬ا

And they say: "The Most Beneficent (Allah) has begotten a son (or offspring or children)."

(as the Jews say: Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allah, and the Christians say that He has begotten a son (Iesa (Christ) ), and the pagan Arabs say that He has begotten daughters (angels, etc.))

لَّقَدۡ جِئۡتُمۡ شَيۡـًٔا إِدًّ۬ا

Indeed you have brought forth (said) a terrible evil thing.

تَڪَادُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتُ يَتَفَطَّرۡنَ مِنۡهُ وَتَنشَقُّ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَتَخِرُّ ٱلۡجِبَالُ هَدًّا

Whereby the heavens are almost torn, and the earth is split asunder, and the mountains fall in ruins,

أَن دَعَوۡاْ لِلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ وَلَدً۬ا

That they ascribe a son (or offspring or children) to the Most Beneficent (Allah).

وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لِلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا

But it is not suitable for (the Majesty of) the Most Beneficent (Allah) that He should beget a son (or offspring or children).

إِن ڪُلُّ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَّآ ءَاتِى ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ عَبۡدً۬ا

There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes unto the Most Beneficent (Allah) as a slave.

لَّقَدۡ أَحۡصَٮٰهُمۡ وَعَدَّهُمۡ عَدًّ۬ا 

Verily, He knows each one of them, and has counted them a full counting.

وَكُلُّهُمۡ ءَاتِيهِ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ فَرۡدًا

And everyone of them will come to Him alone on the Day of Resurrection (without any helper, or protector or defender).

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ سَيَجۡعَلُ لَهُمُ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنُ وُدًّ۬ا

Verily, those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah and in His Messenger (Muhammad SAW)) and work deeds of righteousness, the Most Beneficent (Allah) will bestow love for them (in the hearts of the believers).

فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرۡنَـٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ وَتُنذِرَ بِهِۦ قَوۡمً۬ا لُّدًّ۬ا 

So We have made this (the Quran) easy in your own tongue (O Muhammad SAW), only that you may give glad tidings to the Muttaqoon (pious and righteous persons - See V.2:2), and warn with it the Ludda (most quarrelsome) people.

وَكَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا قَبۡلَهُم مِّن قَرۡنٍ هَلۡ تُحِسُّ مِنۡہُم مِّنۡ أَحَدٍ أَوۡ تَسۡمَعُ لَهُمۡ رِكۡزَۢا

And how many a generation before them have We destroyed! Can you (O Muhammad SAW) find a single one of them or hear even a whisper of them?
