About Surah Maryam
Surah Maryam is named after Maryam (Mary), the mother of the Prophet 'Isa (Jesus) and the only woman mentioned by name in the Quran. It also tells of Zakariya, Yahya and Ibrahim.
In the hadith
- Ja'far ibn Abi Talib recited the opening of Surah Maryam before the Negus (an-Najashi) of Abyssinia, who wept on hearing it. (Musnad Ahmad, narrated by Umm Salamah)
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
ذِكْرُ رَحْمَتِ رَبِّكَ عَبْدَهٗ زَكَرِيَّا ۚ
Dzikru rahmati rabbika 'abdahu zakarii-yaa
This is an account of the mercy of your Lord to His servant Zechariah
اِذْ نَادٰى رَبَّهٗ نِدَاۤءً خَفِيًّا
Idz naada rabbahu nidaa-an khafii-yan
when he cried to his Lord in secret.
قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّيْ وَهَنَ الْعَظْمُ مِنِّيْ وَاشْتَعَلَ الرَّأْسُ شَيْبًا وَّلَمْ اَكُنْۢ بِدُعَاۤىِٕكَ رَبِّ شَقِيًّا
Qaala rabbi innii wahanal 'azhmu minnii wa-asyta'alarra'su syaiban walam akun bidu'aa-ika rabbi syaqii-yan
He said: "Lord! My bones have grown feeble and my head is glistening with age; yet, never have my prayers to You, my Lord, been unfruitful.
وَاِنِّيْ خِفْتُ الْمَوَالِيَ مِنْ وَّرَاۤءِيْ وَكَانَتِ امْرَاَتِيْ عَاقِرًا فَهَبْ لِيْ مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ وَلِيًّا ۙ
Wa-innii khiftul mawaaliya min waraa-ii wakaanatiimraatii 'aaqiran fahab lii min ladunka walii-yan
I fear evil from my kinsmen after I am gone; and my wife is barren, so grant me an heir out of Your special grace,
يَّرِثُنِيْ وَيَرِثُ مِنْ اٰلِ يَعْقُوْبَ وَاجْعَلْهُ رَبِّ رَضِيًّا
Yaritsunii wayaritsu min aali ya'quuba waaj'alhu rabbi radhii-yan
one that might be my heir and the heir of the house of Jacob; and make him, Lord, one that will be pleasing to You.
يٰزَكَرِيَّآ اِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلٰمِ ِۨاسْمُهٗ يَحْيٰىۙ لَمْ نَجْعَلْ لَّهٗ مِنْ قَبْلُ سَمِيًّا
Yaa zakarii-yaa innaa nubasy-syiruka bighulaamin asmuhu yahya lam naj'al lahu min qablu samii-yan
(He was told): "Zechariah, We bring you the good news of the birth of a son whose name shall be Yahya (John), one whose namesake We never created before."
قَالَ رَبِّ اَنّٰى يَكُوْنُ لِيْ غُلٰمٌ وَّكَانَتِ امْرَاَتِيْ عَاقِرًا وَّقَدْ بَلَغْتُ مِنَ الْكِبَرِ عِتِيًّا

He said: "My Lord! How can I have a boy when my wife is barren and I have reached an extremely old age?"
قَالَ كَذٰلِكَۗ قَالَ رَبُّكَ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٌ وَّقَدْ خَلَقْتُكَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلَمْ تَكُ شَيْـًٔا
Qaala kadzalika qaala rabbuka huwa 'alai-ya hai-yinun waqad khalaqtuka min qablu walam taku syai-an
He answered: "So shall it be." Your Lord says: "It is easy for Me," and then added: "For beyond doubt, I created you earlier when you were nothing."
قَالَ رَبِّ اجْعَلْ لِّيْٓ اٰيَةً ۗقَالَ اٰيَتُكَ اَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ النَّاسَ ثَلٰثَ لَيَالٍ سَوِيًّا
Qaala rabbiij'al lii aayatan qaala aayatuka alaa tukallimannaasa tsalaatsa layaalin sawii-yan
Zechariah said: "Lord, grant me a Sign." Said He: "Your Sign is that you shall not be able to speak to people for three nights, though you will be otherwise sound."
فَخَرَجَ عَلٰى قَوْمِهٖ مِنَ الْمِحْرَابِ فَاَوْحٰٓى اِلَيْهِمْ اَنْ سَبِّحُوْا بُكْرَةً وَّعَشِيًّا
Fakharaja 'ala qaumihi minal mihraabi fa-auha ilaihim an sabbihuu bukratan wa'asyii-yan
Thereupon Zechariah came out from the sanctuary and directed his people by gestures to extol His glory by day and by night.
يٰيَحْيٰى خُذِ الْكِتٰبَ بِقُوَّةٍ ۗوَاٰتَيْنٰهُ الْحُكْمَ صَبِيًّاۙ
Yaa yahya khudzil kitaaba biquu-watin waaatainaahul hukma shabii-yan
"O John! Hold the Book with all your strength." We had bestowed wisdom upon him while he was still a child;
وَّحَنَانًا مِّنْ لَّدُنَّا وَزَكٰوةً ۗوَكَانَ تَقِيًّا ۙ
Wahanaanan min ladunnaa wazakaatan wakaana taqii-yan
and We also endowed him with tenderness and purity, and he was exceedingly pious
وَّبَرًّاۢ بِوَالِدَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ جَبَّارًا عَصِيًّا
Wabarran biwaalidaihi walam yakun jabbaaran 'ashii-yan
and cherishing to his parents. Never was he insolent or rebellious.
وَسَلٰمٌ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ وُلِدَ وَيَوْمَ يَمُوْتُ وَيَوْمَ يُبْعَثُ حَيًّا ࣖ
Wasalaamun 'alaihi yauma wulida wayauma yamuutu wayauma yub'atsu hai-yan
Peace be upon him the day he was born, and the day he will die, and the day he will be raised up alive.
وَاذْكُرْ فِى الْكِتٰبِ مَرْيَمَۘ اِذِ انْتَبَذَتْ مِنْ اَهْلِهَا مَكَانًا شَرْقِيًّا ۙ
Waadzkur fiil kitaabi maryama idziintabadzat min ahlihaa makaanan syarqii-yan
(O Muhammad), recite in the Book the account of Mary, when she withdrew from her people to a place towards the east;
فَاتَّخَذَتْ مِنْ دُوْنِهِمْ حِجَابًاۗ فَاَرْسَلْنَآ اِلَيْهَا رُوْحَنَا فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهَا بَشَرًا سَوِيًّا
Fa-attakhadzat min duunihim hijaaban fa-arsalnaa ilaihaa ruuhanaa fatamats-tsala lahaa basyaran sawii-yan
and drew a curtain, screening herself from people whereupon We sent to her Our spirit and he appeared to her as a well-shaped man.
قَالَتْ اِنِّيْٓ اَعُوْذُ بِالرَّحْمٰنِ مِنْكَ اِنْ كُنْتَ تَقِيًّا
Qaalat innii a'uudzu bir-rahmani minka in kunta taqii-yan
Mary exclaimed: "I surely take refuge from you with the Most Compassionate Lord, if you are at all God-fearing."
قَالَ اِنَّمَآ اَنَا۠ رَسُوْلُ رَبِّكِۖ لِاَهَبَ لَكِ غُلٰمًا زَكِيًّا
Qaala innamaa anaa rasuulu rabbiki ahaba laki ghulaaman zakii-yan
He said: "I am just a message-bearer of your Lord, I have come to grant you a most pure boy."
قَالَتْ اَنّٰى يَكُوْنُ لِيْ غُلٰمٌ وَّلَمْ يَمْسَسْنِيْ بَشَرٌ وَّلَمْ اَكُ بَغِيًّا
Qaalat anna yakuunu lii ghulaamun walam yamsasnii basyarun walam aku baghii-yan
Mary said: "How can a boy be born to me when no man has even touched me, nor have I ever been unchaste?"
قَالَ كَذٰلِكِۚ قَالَ رَبُّكِ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٌۚ وَلِنَجْعَلَهٗٓ اٰيَةً لِّلنَّاسِ وَرَحْمَةً مِّنَّاۚ وَكَانَ اَمْرًا مَّقْضِيًّا
Qaala kadzaliki qaala rabbuki huwa 'alai-ya hai-yinun walinaj'alahu aayatan li-nnaasi warahmatan minnaa wakaana amran maqdhii-yan
The angel said: "Thus shall it be. Your Lord says: 'It is easy for Me; and We shall do so in order to make him a Sign for mankind and a mercy from Us. This has been decreed.' "
۞ فَحَمَلَتْهُ فَانْتَبَذَتْ بِهٖ مَكَانًا قَصِيًّا
Fahamalathu faantabadzat bihi makaanan qashii-yan
Then she conceived him and withdrew with him to a far-off place.
فَاَجَاۤءَهَا الْمَخَاضُ اِلٰى جِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِۚ قَالَتْ يٰلَيْتَنِيْ مِتُّ قَبْلَ هٰذَا وَكُنْتُ نَسْيًا مَّنْسِيًّا
Fa-ajaa-ahaal makhaadhu ila jidz'innakhlati qaalat yaa laitanii mittu qabla hadzaa wakuntu nasyan mansii-yan
Then the birth pangs drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree and she said: "Oh, would that I had died before this and had been all forgotten."
فَنَادٰىهَا مِنْ تَحْتِهَآ اَلَّا تَحْزَنِيْ قَدْ جَعَلَ رَبُّكِ تَحْتَكِ سَرِيًّا
Fanaadaahaa min tahtihaa alaa tahzanii qad ja'ala rabbuki tahtaki sarii-yan
Thereupon the angel below her cried out: "Grieve not, for your Lord has caused a stream of water to flow beneath you.
وَهُزِّيْٓ اِلَيْكِ بِجِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ تُسٰقِطْ عَلَيْكِ رُطَبًا جَنِيًّا ۖ
Wahuzzii ilaiki bijidz'innakhlati tusaaqith 'alaiki ruthaban janii-yan
Shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards yourself and fresh and ripe dates shall fall upon you.
فَكُلِيْ وَاشْرَبِيْ وَقَرِّيْ عَيْنًا ۚفَاِمَّا تَرَيِنَّ مِنَ الْبَشَرِ اَحَدًاۙ فَقُوْلِيْٓ اِنِّيْ نَذَرْتُ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ صَوْمًا فَلَنْ اُكَلِّمَ الْيَوْمَ اِنْسِيًّا ۚ
Fakulii waasyrabii waqarrii 'ainan fa-immaa tarayinna minal basyari ahadan faquulii innii nadzartu lir-rahmani shauman falan ukallimal yauma insii-yan
So eat and drink and cool your eyes; and if you see any person say to him: 'Verily I have vowed a fast to the Most Compassionate Lord, and so I shall not speak to anyone today.' "
فَاَتَتْ بِهٖ قَوْمَهَا تَحْمِلُهٗ ۗقَالُوْا يٰمَرْيَمُ لَقَدْ جِئْتِ شَيْـًٔا فَرِيًّا
Fa-atat bihi qaumahaa tahmiluhu qaaluuu yaa maryamu laqad ji-ati syai-an farii-yan
Then she came to her people, carrying her baby. They said: "O Mary! You have committed a monstrous thing.
يٰٓاُخْتَ هٰرُوْنَ مَا كَانَ اَبُوْكِ امْرَاَ سَوْءٍ وَّمَا كَانَتْ اُمُّكِ بَغِيًّا ۖ
Yaa ukhta haaruuna maa kaana abuukiimraa sau-in wamaa kaanat ummuki baghii-yan
O sister of Aaron! Your father was not an evil man, nor was your mother an unchaste woman."
فَاَشَارَتْ اِلَيْهِۗ قَالُوْا كَيْفَ نُكَلِّمُ مَنْ كَانَ فِى الْمَهْدِ صَبِيًّا
Fa-asyaarat ilaihi qaaluuu kaifa nukallimu man kaana fiil mahdi shabii-yan
Thereupon Mary pointed to the child. They exclaimed: "How can we speak to one who is in the cradle, a mere child?"
قَالَ اِنِّيْ عَبْدُ اللّٰهِ ۗاٰتٰنِيَ الْكِتٰبَ وَجَعَلَنِيْ نَبِيًّا ۙ
Qaala innii 'abdullahi aataaniyal kitaaba waja'alanii nabii-yan
The child cried out: "Verily I am Allah's servant. He has granted me the Book and has made me a Prophet
وَّجَعَلَنِيْ مُبٰرَكًا اَيْنَ مَا كُنْتُۖ وَاَوْصٰنِيْ بِالصَّلٰوةِ وَالزَّكٰوةِ مَا دُمْتُ حَيًّا ۖ
Waja'alanii mubaarakan aina maa kuntu wa-aushaanii bish-shalaati wazzakaati maa dumtu hai-yan
and has blessed me wherever I might be and has enjoined upon me Prayer and Zakah (purifying alms) as long as I live;
وَّبَرًّاۢ بِوَالِدَتِيْ وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْنِيْ جَبَّارًا شَقِيًّا
Wabarran biwaalidatii walam yaj'alnii jabbaaran syaqii-yan
and has made me dutiful to my mother. He has not made me oppressive, nor bereft of God's blessings.
وَالسَّلٰمُ عَلَيَّ يَوْمَ وُلِدْتُّ وَيَوْمَ اَمُوْتُ وَيَوْمَ اُبْعَثُ حَيًّا
Wassalaamu 'alai-ya yauma wulidtu wayauma amuutu wayauma ub'atsu hai-yan
Peace be upon me the day I was born and the day I will die, and the day I will be raised up alive."
ذٰلِكَ عِيْسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ ۚقَوْلَ الْحَقِّ الَّذِيْ فِيْهِ يَمْتَرُوْنَ
Dzalika 'iisaabnu maryama qaulal haqqil-ladzii fiihi yamtaruun(a)
This is Jesus, the son of Mary; and this is the truth about him concerning which they are in doubt.
مَا كَانَ لِلّٰهِ اَنْ يَّتَّخِذَ مِنْ وَّلَدٍ سُبْحٰنَهٗ ۗاِذَا قَضٰٓى اَمْرًا فَاِنَّمَا يَقُوْلُ لَهٗ كُنْ فَيَكُوْنُ ۗ
Maa kaana lillahi an yattakhidza min waladin subhaanahu idzaa qadha amran fa-innamaa yaquulu lahu kun fayakuun(u)
It does not befit Allah to take for Himself a son. Glory be to Him! When He decrees a thing He only says: "Be" and it is.
وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ رَبِّيْ وَرَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوْهُ ۗهٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِيْمٌ
Wa-innallaha rabbii warabbukum faa'buduuhu hadzaa shiraathun mustaqiimun
(Jesus had said): "Indeed Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so serve Him alone. This is the Straight Way."
فَاخْتَلَفَ الْاَحْزَابُ مِنْۢ بَيْنِهِمْۚ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ مَّشْهَدِ يَوْمٍ عَظِيْمٍ
Faakhtalafal ahzaabu min bainihim fawailul(n)-lil-ladziina kafaruu min masyhadi yaumin 'azhiimin
But different parties began to dispute with one another. A dreadful woe awaits on that great Day for those that reject the Truth.
اَسْمِعْ بِهِمْ وَاَبْصِرْۙ يَوْمَ يَأْتُوْنَنَا لٰكِنِ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ الْيَوْمَ فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيْنٍ
Asmi' bihim wa-abshir yauma ya'tuunanaa lakinizh-zhaalimuunal yauma fii dhalalin mubiinin
How well shall they hear and how well shall they see on the Day they come to Us! But today the evil-doers are in manifest error.
وَاَنْذِرْهُمْ يَوْمَ الْحَسْرَةِ اِذْ قُضِيَ الْاَمْرُۘ وَهُمْ فِيْ غَفْلَةٍ وَّهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ
Wa-andzirhum yaumal hasrati idz qudhiyal amru wahum fii ghaflatin wahum laa yu'minuun(a)
(O Muhammad), warn those who are steeped in heedlessness and are obstinately rejecting the truth that the Day shall come when things will be finally decided and they shall be left with utter remorse.
اِنَّا نَحْنُ نَرِثُ الْاَرْضَ وَمَنْ عَلَيْهَا وَاِلَيْنَا يُرْجَعُوْنَ ࣖ
Innaa nahnu naritsul ardha waman 'alaihaa wa-ilainaa yurja'uun(a)
Ultimately, We shall inherit the earth and whatever is on it; to Us shall they be returned.
وَاذْكُرْ فِى الْكِتٰبِ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ ەۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ صِدِّيْقًا نَّبِيًّا
Waadzkur fiil kitaabi ibraahiima innahu kaana shiddiiqan nabii-yan
(O Muhammad), recite in the Book the account of Abraham. Most surely he was a man of truth, a Prophet.
اِذْ قَالَ لِاَبِيْهِ يٰٓاَبَتِ لِمَ تَعْبُدُ مَا لَا يَسْمَعُ وَلَا يُبْصِرُ وَلَا يُغْنِيْ عَنْكَ شَيْـًٔا
Idz qaala abiihi yaa abati lima ta'budu maa laa yasma'u walaa yubshiru walaa yughnii 'anka syai-an
(And remind people) when he said to his father: "Father! Why do you worship that which neither sees nor hears, and which can be of no avail to you?
يٰٓاَبَتِ اِنِّي قَدْ جَاۤءَنِيْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ مَا لَمْ يَأْتِكَ فَاتَّبِعْنِيْٓ اَهْدِكَ صِرَاطًا سَوِيًّا
Yaa abati innii qad jaa-anii minal 'ilmi maa lam ya'tika faattabi'nii ahdika shiraathan sawii-yan
Father, a knowledge that has not reached you has come to me. So follow me that I may guide you to a Straight Way.
يٰٓاَبَتِ لَا تَعْبُدِ الشَّيْطٰنَۗ اِنَّ الشَّيْطٰنَ كَانَ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ عَصِيًّا
Yaa abati laa ta'budisy-syaithaana innasy-syaithaana kaana lir-rahmani 'ashii-yan
Father, do not serve Satan, for Satan has indeed been a persistent rebel against the Most Compassionate Lord.
يٰٓاَبَتِ اِنِّيْٓ اَخَافُ اَنْ يَّمَسَّكَ عَذَابٌ مِّنَ الرَّحْمٰنِ فَتَكُوْنَ لِلشَّيْطٰنِ وَلِيًّا
Yaa abati innii akhaafu an yamassaka 'adzaabun minar-rahmani fatakuuna li-sysyaithaani walii-yan
Father, I fear that a punishment from the Most Compassionate Lord might strike you and you may end up as one of Satan's companions?"
قَالَ اَرَاغِبٌ اَنْتَ عَنْ اٰلِهَتِيْ يٰٓاِبْرٰهِيْمُ ۚ لَىِٕنْ لَّمْ تَنْتَهِ لَاَرْجُمَنَّكَ وَاهْجُرْنِيْ مَلِيًّا
Qaala araaghibun anta 'an aalihatii yaa ibraahiimu la-in lam tantahi arjumannaka waahjurnii malii-yan
The father said: "Abraham, have you turned away from my gods? If you do not give this up, I shall stone you to death. Now begone from me forever."
قَالَ سَلٰمٌ عَلَيْكَۚ سَاَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكَ رَبِّيْۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ بِيْ حَفِيًّا
Qaala salaamun 'alaika saastaghfiru laka rabbii innahu kaana bii hafii-yan
Abraham answered: "Peace be upon you. I shall seek pardon for you from my Lord. My Lord has always been kind to Me.
وَاَعْتَزِلُكُمْ وَمَا تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَاَدْعُوْ رَبِّيْۖ عَسٰٓى اَلَّآ اَكُوْنَ بِدُعَاۤءِ رَبِّيْ شَقِيًّا
Wa-a'tazilukum wamaa tad'uuna min duunillahi wa-ad'uu rabbii 'asa alaa akuuna bidu'aa-i rabbii syaqii-yan
I shall withdraw from you and all that you call upon beside Allah. I shall only call upon my Lord. I trust the prayer to my Lord will not go unanswered."
فَلَمَّا اعْتَزَلَهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ ۙوَهَبْنَا لَهٗٓ اِسْحٰقَ وَيَعْقُوْبَۗ وَكُلًّا جَعَلْنَا نَبِيًّا
Falammaaa'tazalahum wamaa ya'buduuna min duunillahi wahabnaa lahu ishaaqa waya'quuba wakulaa ja'alnaa nabii-yan
Thereupon Abraham dissociated himself from his people and the deities they worshipped instead of Allah, and We bestowed upon him Isaac and Jacob and made each of them a Prophet;
وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ رَّحْمَتِنَا وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ عَلِيًّا ࣖ
Wawahabnaa lahum min rahmatinaa waja'alnaa lahum lisaana shidqin 'alii-yan
and We bestowed on them Our mercy, and granted them a truly lofty renown.
وَاذْكُرْ فِى الْكِتٰبِ مُوْسٰٓىۖ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ مُخْلَصًا وَّكَانَ رَسُوْلًا نَّبِيًّا
Waadzkur fiil kitaabi muusa innahu kaana mukhlashan wakaana rasuulaa nabii-yan
And recite in the Book the account of Moses. He was a chosen one, a Messenger, a Prophet.
وَنَادَيْنٰهُ مِنْ جَانِبِ الطُّوْرِ الْاَيْمَنِ وَقَرَّبْنٰهُ نَجِيًّا
Wanaadainaahu min jaanibith-thuuril aimani waqarrabnaahu najii-yan
We called out to him from the right side of the Mount, and We drew him near to Us by communing to him in secret,
وَوَهَبْنَا لَهٗ مِنْ رَّحْمَتِنَآ اَخَاهُ هٰرُوْنَ نَبِيًّا
Wawahabnaa lahu min rahmatinaa akhaahu haaruuna nabii-yan
and out of Our mercy We appointed his brother Aaron, a Prophet (that he may assist him).
وَاذْكُرْ فِى الْكِتٰبِ اِسْمٰعِيْلَ ۖاِنَّهٗ كَانَ صَادِقَ الْوَعْدِ وَكَانَ رَسُوْلًا نَّبِيًّا ۚ
Waadzkur fiil kitaabi ismaa'iila innahu kaana shaadiqal wa'di wakaana rasuulaa nabii-yan
And recite in the Book the account of Ishmael. He was ever true to his promise, and was a Messenger, a Prophet.
وَكَانَ يَأْمُرُ اَهْلَهٗ بِالصَّلٰوةِ وَالزَّكٰوةِۖ وَكَانَ عِنْدَ رَبِّهٖ مَرْضِيًّا
Wakaana ya'muru ahlahu bish-shalaati wazzakaati wakaana 'inda rabbihi mardhii-yan
He enjoined his household to observe Prayer and to give Zakah (purifying alms); and his Lord was well pleased with him.
وَاذْكُرْ فِى الْكِتٰبِ اِدْرِيْسَۖ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ صِدِّيْقًا نَّبِيًّا ۙ
Waadzkur fiil kitaabi idriisa innahu kaana shiddiiqan nabii-yan
And recite in the Book the account of Idris. He was a man of truth, a Prophet;
وَّرَفَعْنٰهُ مَكَانًا عَلِيًّا
Warafa'naahu makaanan 'alii-yan
and We exalted him to a lofty position.
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 ۩
Uula-ikal-ladziina an'amallahu 'alaihim minannabii-yiina min dzurrii-yati aadama wamimman hamalnaa ma'a nuuhin wamin dzurrii-yati ibraahiima wa-israa-iila wamimman hadainaa waajtabainaa idzaa tutla 'alaihim aayaatur-rahmani kharruu sujjadan wabukii-yan
These are the Prophets upon whom Allah bestowed His favour from the seed of Adam, and from the seed of those whom We carried (in the Ark) with Noah, and from the seed of Abraham and Israel. They were those whom We guided and chose (for an exalted position). They were such that when the words of the Most Compassionate Lord were recited to them, they fell down in prostration, weeping.
۞ فَخَلَفَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ اَضَاعُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاتَّبَعُوا الشَّهَوٰتِ فَسَوْفَ يَلْقَوْنَ غَيًّا ۙ
Fakhalafa min ba'dihim khalfun adhaa'uush-shalaata waattaba'uusy-syahawaati fasaufa yalqauna ghai-yan
They were succeeded by a people who neglected the Prayers and pursued their lusts. They shall presently meet with their doom,
اِلَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَاٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ يَدْخُلُوْنَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَا يُظْلَمُوْنَ شَيْـًٔا ۙ
Ilaa man taaba waaamana wa'amila shaalihan fa-uula-ika yadkhuluunal jannata walaa yuzhlamuuna syai-an
except those who repent and believe and act righteously. Such shall enter Paradise and shall not be wronged at all.
جَنّٰتِ عَدْنِ ِۨالَّتِيْ وَعَدَ الرَّحْمٰنُ عِبَادَهٗ بِالْغَيْبِۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ وَعْدُهٗ مَأْتِيًّا
Jannaati 'adnillatii wa'adar-rahmanu 'ibaadahu bil ghaibi innahu kaana wa'duhu ma'tii-yan
Theirs shall be everlasting Gardens which the Most Compassionate Lord has promised His servants in a realm which is beyond the ken of perception. Surely His promise shall he fulfilled.
لَا يَسْمَعُوْنَ فِيْهَا لَغْوًا اِلَّا سَلٰمًاۗ وَلَهُمْ رِزْقُهُمْ فِيْهَا بُكْرَةً وَّعَشِيًّا
Laa yasma'uuna fiihaa laghwan ilaa salaaman walahum rizquhum fiihaa bukratan wa'asyii-yan
They shall not hear in it anything vain; they shall hear only what is good; and they shall have their provision in it, morning and evening.
تِلْكَ الْجَنَّةُ الَّتِيْ نُوْرِثُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا مَنْ كَانَ تَقِيًّا
Tilkal jannatullatii nuuritsu min 'ibaadinaa man kaana taqii-yan
Such is the Paradise which We shall cause those of Our servants who have been God-fearing to inherit.
وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ اِلَّا بِاَمْرِ رَبِّكَۚ لَهٗ مَا بَيْنَ اَيْدِيْنَا وَمَا خَلْفَنَا وَمَا بَيْنَ ذٰلِكَ وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ نَسِيًّا ۚ
Wamaa natanazzalu ilaa biamri rabbika lahu maa baina aidiinaa wamaa khalfanaa wamaa baina dzalika wamaa kaana rabbuka nasii-yan
(The angels will say): "(O Muhammad!) We descend not except by the command of your Lord. To Him belongs all that is before us and all that is behind us, and all that is in between. Your Lord is not forgetful in the least.
رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَاعْبُدْهُ وَاصْطَبِرْ لِعِبَادَتِهٖۗ هَلْ تَعْلَمُ لَهٗ سَمِيًّا ࣖ
Rabbus-samaawaati wal ardhi wamaa bainahumaa faa'budhu waashthabir li'ibaadatihi hal ta'lamu lahu samii-yan
He is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is in between. Serve Him, then, and be constant in serving Him. Do you know anyone that might be His compeer?"
وَيَقُوْلُ الْاِنْسَانُ ءَاِذَا مَا مِتُّ لَسَوْفَ اُخْرَجُ حَيًّا
Wayaquulu-insaanu a-idzaa maa mittu lasaufa ukhraju hai-yan
Man is prone to say: "Shall I be raised to life after I die?"
اَوَلَا يَذْكُرُ الْاِنْسَانُ اَنَّا خَلَقْنٰهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلَمْ يَكُ شَيْـًٔا
Awalaa yadzkuru-insaanu annaa khalaqnaahu min qablu walam yaku syai-an
Does man not remember that We created him before when he was nothing?
فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَحْشُرَنَّهُمْ وَالشَّيٰطِيْنَ ثُمَّ لَنُحْضِرَنَّهُمْ حَوْلَ جَهَنَّمَ جِثِيًّا
Fawarabbika lanahsyurannahum wasy-syayaathiina tsumma lanuhdhirannahum haula jahannama jitsii-yan
By your Lord, We will surely muster them and the devils together. Then We will surely bring them all, on their knees, around Hell,
ثُمَّ لَنَنْزِعَنَّ مِنْ كُلِّ شِيْعَةٍ اَيُّهُمْ اَشَدُّ عَلَى الرَّحْمٰنِ عِتِيًّا ۚ
Tsumma lananzi'anna min kulli syii'atin ai-yuhum asyaddu 'alar-rahmani 'itii-yan
and then We will draw aside from each party those who were most rebellious against the Most Compassionate Lord,
ثُمَّ لَنَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ اَوْ لٰى بِهَا صِلِيًّا
Tsumma lanahnu a'lamu biil-ladziina hum aula bihaa shilii-yan
and then We shall know well all those most worthy to be cast in Hell.
وَاِنْ مِّنْكُمْ اِلَّا وَارِدُهَا ۚ كَانَ عَلٰى رَبِّكَ حَتْمًا مَّقْضِيًّا ۚ
Wa-in minkum ilaa waariduhaa kaana 'ala rabbika hatman maqdhii-yan
There is not one of you but shall pass by Hell. This is a decree which your Lord will fulfil.
ثُمَّ نُنَجِّى الَّذِيْنَ اتَّقَوْا وَّنَذَرُ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ فِيْهَا جِثِيًّا
Tsumma nunajjiil-ladziina-attaqau wanadzaruzh-zhaalimiina fiihaa jitsii-yan
Then We shall deliver those that feared Allah and leave the wrong-doers there on their knees.
وَاِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتُنَا بَيِّنٰتٍ قَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لِلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓاۙ اَيُّ الْفَرِيْقَيْنِ خَيْرٌ مَّقَامًا وَّاَحْسَنُ نَدِيًّا
Wa-idzaa tutla 'alaihim aayaatunaa bai-yinaatin qaalal-ladziina kafaruu lil-ladziina aamanuu ai-yul fariiqaini khairun maqaaman wa-ahsanu nadii-yan
When Our clear revelations are recited to those who deny the Truth they are wont to say to those who have faith: "Which of the two groups has a better status and whose assemblies are grander?"
وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنْ قَرْنٍ هُمْ اَحْسَنُ اَثَاثًا وَّرِءْيًا
Wakam ahlaknaa qablahum min qarnin hum ahsanu atsaatsan wari-ayan
How numerous are the peoples We destroyed before them - those that were more resourceful and grander in 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 kaana fiidh-dhalaalati falyamdud lahur-rahmanu maddan hatta idzaa ra-au maa yuu'aduuna immaal 'adzaaba wa-immaassaa'ata fasaya'lamuuna man huwa syarrun makaanan wa-adh'afu jundan
Say: "The Most Compassionate Lord grants respite to those who stray into error, until they behold what they had been threatened with, either God's chastisement (in the world) or the Hour (of Resurrection)" - then they fully know whose station is worse, and who is weaker in hosts!
وَيَزِيْدُ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْنَ اهْتَدَوْا هُدًىۗ وَالْبٰقِيٰتُ الصّٰلِحٰتُ خَيْرٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَّخَيْرٌ مَّرَدًّا
Wayaziidullahul-ladziina ihtadau hudan wal baaqiyaatush-shaalihaatu khairun 'inda rabbika tsawaaban wakhairun maraddan
(On the contrary), Allah increases in guidance those who follow the Right Way. Lasting acts of righteousness are better in the sight of your Lord as reward and conducive to a better end.
اَفَرَاَيْتَ الَّذِيْ كَفَرَ بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَقَالَ لَاُوْتَيَنَّ مَالًا وَّوَلَدًا ۗ
Afara-aital-ladzii kafara biaayaatinaa waqaala autayanna maaalan wawaladan
Have you seen him who rejected Our signs and said: "Surely I shall continue to be favoured with riches and children."
اَطَّلَعَ الْغَيْبَ اَمِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمٰنِ عَهْدًا ۙ
Ath-thala'al ghaiba amiittakhadza 'indar-rahmani 'ahdan
Has he obtained knowledge of the Unseen, or has he taken a covenant with the Most Compassionate Lord?
كَلَّاۗ سَنَكْتُبُ مَا يَقُوْلُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهٗ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ مَدًّا ۙ
Kalaa sanaktubu maa yaquulu wanamuddu lahu minal 'adzaabi maddan
By no means! We shall write down all what he says; and We shall greatly prolong his chastisement,
وَّنَرِثُهٗ مَا يَقُوْلُ وَيَأْتِيْنَا فَرْدًا
Wanaritsuhu maa yaquulu waya'tiinaa fardan
and We shall inherit all the resources and hosts of which he boasts, and he will come to Us all alone.
وَاتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اٰلِهَةً لِّيَكُوْنُوْا لَهُمْ عِزًّا ۙ
Wa-attakhadzuu min duunillahi aalihatan liyakuunuu lahum 'izzan
They have taken other gods instead of Allah that they may be a source of strength for them.
كَلَّا ۗسَيَكْفُرُوْنَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ وَيَكُوْنُوْنَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضِدًّا ࣖ
Kalaa sayakfuruuna bi'ibaadatihim wayakuunuuna 'alaihim dhiddan
By no means! They shall soon deny their worship and shall become their adversaries instead.
اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّآ اَرْسَلْنَا الشَّيٰطِيْنَ عَلَى الْكٰفِرِيْنَ تَؤُزُّهُمْ اَزًّا ۙ
Alam tara annaa arsalnaasy-syayaathiina 'alal kaafiriina ta'uzzuhum azzan
Do you not see that We have sent devils upon the unbelievers who greatly incite them (to oppose the Truth)?
فَلَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَيْهِمْۗ اِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمْ عَدًّا ۗ
Falaa ta'jal 'alaihim innamaa na'uddu lahum 'addan
Therefore, do not hasten (in seeking a scourge against them). We are counting their days.
يَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ اِلَى الرَّحْمٰنِ وَفْدًا
Yauma nahsyurul muttaqiina ilar-rahmani wafdan
The Day shall soon come when We shall bring together the God-fearing to the Most Compassionate Lord, as honoured guests;
وَنَسُوْقُ الْمُجْرِمِيْنَ اِلٰى جَهَنَّمَ وِرْدًا ۘ
Wanasuuqul mujrimiina ila jahannama wirdan
and We shall drive the guilty ones to Hell as a thirsty herd.
لَا يَمْلِكُوْنَ الشَّفَاعَةَ اِلَّا مَنِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمٰنِ عَهْدًا ۘ
Laa yamlikuunasy-syafaa'ata ilaa maniittakhadza 'indar-rahmani 'ahdan
On that Day none will have the power to intercede for them except those who received a sanction from the Most Compassionate Lord.
وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمٰنُ وَلَدًا ۗ
Waqaaluuuut-takhadzar-rahmanu waladan
They claim: "The Most Compassionate Lord has taken a son to Himself."
لَقَدْ جِئْتُمْ شَيْـًٔا اِدًّا ۙ
Laqad ji-atum syai-an iddan
Surely you have made a monstrous statement.
تَكَادُ السَّمٰوٰتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنْشَقُّ الْاَرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ الْجِبَالُ هَدًّا ۙ
Takaadus-samaawaatu yatafath-tharna minhu watansyaqqul ardhu watakhirrul jibaalu haddan
It is such a monstrosity that heavens might well-nigh burst forth at it, the earth might be cleaved, and the mountains fall
اَنْ دَعَوْا لِلرَّحْمٰنِ وَلَدًا ۚ
An da'au lir-rahmani waladan
at their ascribing a son to the Most Compassionate Lord.
وَمَا يَنْۢبَغِيْ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ اَنْ يَّتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا ۗ
Wamaa yanbaghii lir-rahmani an yattakhidza waladan
It does not befit the Most Compassionate Lord that He should take a son.
اِنْ كُلُّ مَنْ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ اِلَّآ اٰتِى الرَّحْمٰنِ عَبْدًا ۗ
In kullu man fiis-samaawaati wal ardhi ilaa aatiir-rahmani 'abdan
There is no one in the heavens and the earth but he shall come to the Most Compassionate Lord as His servant.
لَقَدْ اَحْصٰىهُمْ وَعَدَّهُمْ عَدًّا ۗ
Laqad ahshaahum wa'addahum 'addan
Verily He encompasses them and has counted them all.
وَكُلُّهُمْ اٰتِيْهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ فَرْدًا
Wakulluhum aatiihi yaumal qiyaamati fardan
On the Day of Resurrection each one of these will come to Him singly.
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ سَيَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ الرَّحْمٰنُ وُدًّا
Innal-ladziina aamanuu wa'amiluush-shaalihaati sayaj'alu lahumur-rahmanu wuddan
Indeed, the Most Compassionate Lord will soon create enduring love for those who believe and do righteous works.
فَاِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ وَتُنْذِرَ بِهٖ قَوْمًا لُّدًّا
Fa-innamaa yassarnaahu bilisaanika litubasy-syira bihil muttaqiina watundzira bihi qauman luddan
Therefore, We have revealed the Qur'an in your tongue and made it easy to understand that you may give glad tidings to the God-fearing and warn a contentious people.
وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنْ قَرْنٍۗ هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُمْ مِّنْ اَحَدٍ اَوْ تَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ رِكْزًا ࣖ
Wakam ahlaknaa qablahum min qarnin hal tuhissu minhum min ahadin au tasma'u lahum rikzan
How numerous are the peoples that We destroyed before them! Do you now perceive any one of them, or hear even their whisper?
