Surah Maryam In The Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Kaf, Ha, Ya, ‘Ayn, Sad. ( Quran Surah Maryam 19:1 ) [This is] a mention of the mercy of your Lord to His servant Zechariah ( Quran Surah Maryam 19:2 ) When he called to his Lord a private supplication. ( Quran Surah Maryam 19:3 ) 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. ( Quran Surah Maryam 19:4 ) And indeed, I fear the successors after me, and my wife has been barren, so give me from Yourself an heir ( Quran Surah Maryam 19:5 ) Who will inherit me and inherit from the family of Jacob. And make him, my Lord, pleasing [to You].” ( Quran Surah Maryam 19:6 ) [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.” ( Quran Surah Maryam 19:7 ) He said, “My Lord, how will I have a boy when my wife has been barren and I have reached extreme old age?” ( Quran Surah Maryam 19:8 ) [An angel] said, “Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, ‘It is easy for Me, for I created you before, while you were nothing.’ ” ( Quran Surah Maryam 19:9 ) [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.” ( Quran Surah Maryam 19:10 ) So he came out to his people from the prayer chamber and signaled to them to exalt [ Allah ] in the morning and afternoon. ( Quran Surah Maryam 19:11 ) [ Allah ] said, “O John, take the Scripture with determination.” And We gave him judgement [while yet] a boy ( Quran Surah Maryam 19:12 ) And affection from Us and purity, and he was fearing of Allah ( Quran Surah Maryam 19:13 ) And dutiful to his parents, and he was not a disobedient tyrant. ( Quran Surah Maryam 19:14 ) And peace be upon him the day he was born and the day he dies and the day he is raised alive. ( Quran Surah Maryam 19:15 ) And mention, [O Muhammad], in the Book [the story of] Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place toward the east. ( Quran Surah Maryam 19:16 ) 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. ( Quran Surah Maryam 19:17 ) She said, “Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, [so leave me], if you should be fearing of Allah .” ( Quran Surah Maryam 19:18 ) He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy.” ( Quran Surah Maryam 19:19 ) She said, “How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste?” ( Quran Surah Maryam 19:20 ) 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.’ ” ( Quran 19:21 ) So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a remote place. ( Quran 19:22 ) 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.” ( Quran 19:23 ) But he called her from below her, “Do not grieve; your Lord has provided beneath you a stream. ( Quran 19:24 ) And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates. ( Quran 19:25 ) 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.’ ” ( Quran 19:26 ) Then she brought him to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented. ( Quran 19:27 ) O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste.” ( Quran 19:28 ) So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?” ( Quran 19:29 ) [Jesus] said, “Indeed, I am the servant of Allah . He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet. ( Quran 19:30 ) And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and zakah as long as I remain alive ( Quran 19:31 ) And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant. ( Quran 19:32 ) And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive.” ( Quran 19:33 ) That is Jesus, the son of Mary – the word of truth about which they are in dispute. ( Quran 19:34 ) 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. ( Quran 19:35 ) [Jesus said], “And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” ( Quran 19:36 ) Then the factions differed [concerning Jesus] from among them, so woe to those who disbelieved – from the scene of a tremendous Day. ( Quran 19:37 ) How [clearly] they will hear and see the Day they come to Us, but the wrongdoers today are in clear error. ( Quran 19:38 ) 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. ( Quran 19:39 ) Indeed, it is We who will inherit the earth and whoever is on it, and to Us they will be returned. ( Quran 19:40 ) And mention in the Book [the story of] Abraham. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet. ( Quran 19:41 ) [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? ( Quran 19:42 ) 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. ( Quran 19:43 ) O my father, do not worship Satan. Indeed Satan has ever been, to the Most Merciful, disobedient. ( Quran 19:44 ) 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].” ( Quran 19:45 ) [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.” ( Quran 19:46 ) [Abraham] said, “Peace will be upon you. I will ask forgiveness for you of my Lord. Indeed, He is ever gracious to me. ( Quran 19:47 ) 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.” ( Quran 19:48 ) 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. ( Quran 19:49 ) And We gave them of Our mercy, and we made for them a reputation of high honor. ( Quran 19:50 ) And mention in the Book, Moses. Indeed, he was chosen, and he was a messenger and a prophet. ( Quran 19:51 ) And We called him from the side of the mount at [his] right and brought him near, confiding [to him]. ( Quran 19:52 ) And We gave him out of Our mercy his brother Aaron as a prophet. ( Quran 19:53 ) And mention in the Book, Ishmael. Indeed, he was true to his promise, and he was a messenger and a prophet. ( Quran 19:54 ) And he used to enjoin on his people prayer and zakah and was to his Lord pleasing. ( Quran 19:55 ) And mention in the Book, Idrees. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet. ( Quran 19:56 ) And We raised him to a high station. ( Quran 19:57 ) 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. ( Quran 19:58 ) But there came after them successors who neglected prayer and pursued desires; so they are going to meet evil – ( Quran 19:59 ) Except those who repent, believe and do righteousness; for those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged at all. ( Quran 19:60 ) [Therein are] gardens of perpetual residence which the Most Merciful has promised His servants in the unseen. Indeed, His promise has ever been coming. ( Quran 19:61 ) They will not hear therein any ill speech – only [greetings of] peace – and they will have their provision therein, morning and afternoon. ( Quran 19:62 ) That is Paradise, which We give as inheritance to those of Our servants who were fearing of Allah . ( Quran 19:63 ) [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 – ( Quran 19:64 ) 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?” ( Quran 19:65 ) And the disbeliever says, “When I have died, am I going to be brought forth alive?” ( Quran 19:66 ) Does man not remember that We created him before, while he was nothing? ( Quran 19:67 ) 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. ( Quran 19:68 ) Then We will surely extract from every sect those of them who were worst against the Most Merciful in insolence. ( Quran 19:69 ) Then, surely it is We who are most knowing of those most worthy of burning therein. ( Quran 19:70 ) And there is none of you except he will come to it. This is upon your Lord an inevitability decreed. ( Quran 19:71 ) Then We will save those who feared Allah and leave the wrongdoers within it, on their knees. ( Quran 19:72 ) 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?” ( Quran 19:73 ) And how many a generation have We destroyed before them who were better in possessions and [outward] appearance? ( Quran 19:74 ) 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.” ( Quran 19:75 ) 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. ( Quran 19:76 ) Then, have you seen he who disbelieved in Our verses and said, “I will surely be given wealth and children [in the next life]?” ( Quran 19:77 ) Has he looked into the unseen, or has he taken from the Most Merciful a promise? ( Quran 19:78 ) No! We will record what he says and extend for him from the punishment extensively. ( Quran 19:79 ) And We will inherit him [in] what he mentions, and he will come to Us alone. ( Quran 19:80 ) And they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that they would be for them [a source of] honor. ( Quran 19:81 ) No! Those “gods” will deny their worship of them and will be against them opponents [on the Day of Judgement]. ( Quran 19:82 ) Do you not see that We have sent the devils upon the disbelievers, inciting them to [evil] with [constant] incitement? ( Quran 19:83 ) So be not impatient over them. We only count out to them a [limited] number. ( Quran 19:84 ) On the Day We will gather the righteous to the Most Merciful as a delegation ( Quran 19:85 ) And will drive the criminals to Hell in thirst ( Quran 19:86 ) None will have [power of] intercession except he who had taken from the Most Merciful a covenant. ( Quran 19:87 ) And they say, “The Most Merciful has taken [for Himself] a son.” ( Quran 19:88 ) You have done an atrocious thing. ( Quran 19:89 ) The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation ( Quran 19:90 ) That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son. ( Quran 19:91 ) And it is not appropriate for the Most Merciful that He should take a son. ( Quran 19:92 ) There is no one in the heavens and earth but that he comes to the Most Merciful as a servant. ( Quran 19:93 ) He has enumerated them and counted them a [full] counting. ( Quran 19:94 ) And all of them are coming to Him on the Day of Resurrection alone. ( Quran 19:95 ) Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds – the Most Merciful will appoint for them affection. ( Quran 19:96 ) 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. ( Quran 19:97 ) And how many have We destroyed before them of generations? Do you perceive of them anyone or hear from them a sound? ( Quran 19:98 ) SHARE THIS:
