THE HOLY QURAN
Sura 19 "Maryam"
Translated by Yusefali
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[19.1] Kaf Ha Ya Ain
Suad.
[19.2] A mention of the
mercy of your Lord to His servant Zakariya.
[19.3] When he called
upon his Lord in a low voice,
[19.4] He said: My Lord!
surely my bones are weakened and my head flares with hoariness,
and, my Lord! I have never been unsuccessful in my prayer to
Thee:
[19.5] And surely I fear
my cousins after me, and my wife is barren, therefore grant me
from Thyself an heir,
[19.6] Who should
inherit me and inherit from the children of Yaqoub, and make
him, my Lord, one in whom Thou art well pleased.
[19.7] O Zakariya! surely We
give you good news of a boy whose name shall be Yahya: We have
not made before anyone his equal.
[19.8] He said: O my
Lord! when shall I have a son, and my wife is barren, and I
myself have reached indeed the extreme degree of old age?
[19.9] He said: So shall
it be, your Lord says: It is easy to Me, and indeed I created
you before, when you were nothing.
[19.10] He said: My Lord! give me a sign. He said: Your
sign is that you will not be able to speak to the people three
nights while in sound health.
[19.11] So he went forth
to his people from his place of worship, then he made known to
them that they should glorify (Allah) morning and evening.
[19.12] O Yahya! take
hold of the Book with strength, and We granted him wisdom while
yet a child
[19.13] And tenderness
from Us and purity, and he was one who guarded (against evil),
[19.14] And dutiful to
his parents, and he was not insolent, disobedient.
[19.15] And peace on him
on the day he was born, and on the day he dies, and on the day
he is raised to life
[19.16] And mention
Maryam in the Book when she drew aside from her family to an
eastern place;
[19.17] So she took a
veil (to screen herself) from them; then We sent to her Our
spirit, and there appeared to her a well-made man.
[19.18] She said: Surely
I fly for refuge from you to the Beneficent God, if you are one
guarding (against evil).
[19.19] He said: I am
only a messenger of your Lord: That I will give you a pure boy.
[19.20] She said: When
shall I have a boy and no mortal has yet touched me, nor have I
been unchaste?
[19.21] He said: Even so; your
Lord says: It is easy to Me: and that We may make him a sign to
men and a mercy from Us, and it is a matter which has been
decreed.
[19.22] So she conceived
him; then withdrew herself with him to a remote place.
[19.23] And the throes
(of childbirth) compelled her to betake herself to the trunk of
a palm tree. She said: Oh, would that I had died before this,
and had been a thing quite forgotten!
[19.24] Then (the child)
called out to her from beneath her: Grieve not, surely your Lord
has made a stream to flow beneath you;
[19.25] And shake
towards you the trunk of the palm tree, it will drop on you
fresh ripe dates:
[19.26] So eat and drink
and refresh the eye. Then if you see any mortal, say: Surely I
have vowed a fast to the Beneficent God, so I shall not speak to
any man today.
[19.27] And she came to
her people with him, carrying him (with her). They said: O
Maryam! surely you have done a strange thing.
[19.28] O sister of
Haroun! your father was not a bad man, nor, was your mother an
unchaste woman.
[19.29] But she pointed to him.
They said: How should we speak to one who was a child in the
cradle?
[19.30] He said: Surely
I am a servant of Allah; He has given me the Book and made me a
prophet;
[19.31] And He has made
me blessed wherever I may be, and He has enjoined on me prayer
and poor-rate so long as I live;
[19.32] And dutiful to
my mother, and He has not made me insolent, unblessed; [19.33]
And peace on me on the day I was born, and on the day I die, and
on the day I am raised to life.
[19.34] Such is Isa, son
of Maryam; (this is) the saying of truth about which they
dispute.
[19.35] It beseems not
Allah that He should take to Himself a ! son, glory to be Him;
when He has decreed a matter He only says to it "Be," and it is.
[19.36] And surely Allah
is my Lord and your Lord, therefore serve Him; this is the right
path.
[19.37] But parties from
among them disagreed with each other, so woe to those who
disbelieve, because of presence on a great
[19.38] How clearly
shall they hear and how clearly shall they see on the day when
they come to Us; but the unjust this day are in manifest error.
[19.39] And warn them of
the day of intense regret, when the matter shall have been
decided; and they are (now) in negligence and they do not
believe.
[19.40] Surely We
inherit the earth and all those who are on it, and to Us they
shall be returned.
[19.41] And mention
Ibrahim in the Book; surely he was a truthful man, a prophet.
[19.42] When he said to
his father; O my father! why do you worship what neither hears
nor sees, nor does it avail you in the least:
[19.43] O my father!
truly the knowledge has come to me which has not come to you,
therefore follow me, I will guide you on a right path:
[19.44] O my father!
serve not the Shaitan, surely the Shaitan is disobedient to the
Beneficent God:
[19.45] O my father!
surely I fear that a punishment from the Beneficent God should
afflict you so that you should be a friend of the Shaitan.
[19.46] He said: Do you
dislike my gods, O Ibrahim? If you do not desist I will
certainly revile you, and leave me for a time.
[19.47] He said: Peace
be on you, I will pray to my Lord to forgive you; surely He is
ever Affectionate to me:
[19.48] And I will
withdraw from you and what you call on besides Allah, and I will
call upon my Lord; may be I shall not remain unblessed in
calling upon my Lord.
[19.49] So when he
withdrew from them and what they worshipped besides Allah, We
gave to him Ishaq and Yaqoub, and each one of them We made a
prophet.
[19.50] And We granted
to them of Our mercy, and We left (behind them) a truthful
mention of eminence for them.
[19.51] And mention Musa
in the Book; surely he was one purified, and he was an apostle,
a prophet.
[19.52] And We called to
him from the blessed side of the mountain, and We made him draw
nigh, holding communion (with Us).
[19.53] And We gave to
him out of Our mercy his brother Haroun a prophet. [19.54] And
mention Ismail in the Book; surely he was truthful in (his)
promise, and he was an apostle, a prophet.
[19.55] And he enjoined
on his family prayer and almsgiving, and was one in whom his
Lord was well pleased.
[19.56] And mention
Idris in the Book; surely he was a truthful man, a prophet,
[19.57] And We raised
him high in Heaven.
[19.58] These are they
on whom Allah bestowed favors, from among the prophets of the
seed of Adam, and of those whom We carried with Nuh, and of the
seed of Ibrahim and Israel, and of those whom We guided and
chose; when the communications of the Beneficent God were
recited to them, they fell down making obeisance and weeping.
[19.59] But there came
after them an evil generation, who neglected prayers and
followed and sensual desires, so they win meet perdition,
[19.60] Except such as repent and believe and do good, these
shall enter the garden, and they shall not be dealt with
unjustly in any way:
[19.61] The gardens of
perpetuity which the Beneficent God has promised to His servants
while unseen; surely His promise shall come to pass.
[19.62] They shall not
hear therein any vain discourse, but only: Peace, and they shall
have their sustenance therein morning and evening.
[19.63] This is the
garden which We cause those of Our servants to inherit who guard
(against evil).
[19.64] And we do not
descend but by the command of your Lord; to Him belongs whatever
is before us and whatever is behind us and whatever is between
these, and your Lord is not forgetful.
[19.65] The Lord of the
heavens and the earth and what is between them, so serve Him and
be patient in His service. Do you know any one equal to Him?
[19.66] And says man:
What! when I am dead shall I truly be brought forth alive?
[19.67] Does not man
remember that We created him before, when he was nothing?
[19.68] So by your Lord!
We will most certainly gather them together and the Shaitans,
then shall We certainly cause them to be present round hell on
their knees.
[19.69] Then We will
most certainly draw forth from every sect of them him who is
most exorbitantly rebellious against the Beneficent God.
[19.70] Again We do
certainly know best those who deserve most to be burned therein.
[19.71] And there is not
one of you but shall come to it; this is an unavoidable decree
of your Lord.
[19.72] And We will
deliver those who guarded (against evil), and We will leave the
unjust therein on their knees.
[19.73] And when Our
clear communications are recited to them, those who disbelieve
say to those who believe: Which of the two parties is best in
abiding and best in assembly?
[19.74] And how many of
the generations have We destroyed before them who were better in
respect of goods and outward appearance!
[19.75] Say: As for him
who remains in error, the Beneficent God will surely prolong his
length of days, until they see what they were threatened with,
either the punishment or the hour; then they shall know who is
in more evil plight and weaker in forces
[19.76] And Allah
increases in guidance those who go aright; and ever-abiding good
works are with your Lord best in recompense and best in yielding
fruit.
[19.77] Have you, then,
seen him who disbelieves in Our communications and says: I shall
certainly be given wealth and children?
[19.78] Has he gained
knowledge of the unseen, or made a covenant with the Beneficent
God?
[19.79] By no means! We
write down what he says, and We will lengthen to him the length
of the chastisement
[19.80] And We will
inherit of him what he says, and he shall come to Us alone.
[19.81] And they have
taken gods besides Allah, that they should be to them a source
of strength;
[19.82] By no means!
They shall soon deny their worshipping them, and they shall be
adversaries to them.
[19.83] Do you not see
that We have sent the Shaitans against the unbelievers, inciting
them by incitement?
[19.84] Therefore be not
in haste against them, We only number out to them a number (of
days).
[19.85] The day on which
We will gather those who guard (against evil) to the Beneficent
God to receive honors
[19.86] And We will
drive the guilty to hell thirsty
[19.87] They shall not
control intercession, save he who has made a covenant with the
Beneficent God.
[19.88] And they say:
The Beneficent God has taken (to Himself) a son.
[19.89] Certainly you have made
an abominable assertion
[19.90] The heavens may
almost be rent thereat, and the earth cleave asunder, and the
mountains fall down in pieces,
[19.91] That they
ascribe a son to the Beneficent God.
[19.92] And it is not
worthy of the Beneficent God that He should take (to Himself) a
son.
[19.93] There is no one
in the heavens and the earth but will come to the Beneficent God
as a servant.
[19.94] Certainly He has
a comprehensive knowledge of them and He has numbered them a
(comprehensive) numbering.
[19.95] And every one of
them will come to Him on the day of resurrection alone.
[19.96] Surely (as for)
those who believe and do good deeds for t them will Allah bring
about love.
[19.97] So We have only
made it easy in your tongue that you may give good news thereby
to those who guard (against evil) and warn thereby a vehemently
contentious people.
[19.98] And how many a
generation have We destroyed before them! Do you see any one of
them or hear a sound of them?
