Surat 019. Maryam
1.
Kâf HâYâ'AînSâd. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'ân, and
none but Allâh (Alone) knows their meanings].
2.
(this is) a mention of the Mercy of Your Lord to his slave Zakariya
(Zachariah).
3.
when He called out his Lord (Allâh) a call In secret,
4.
saying: "My Lord! indeed My bones have grown feeble, and grey hair has
spread on My head, and I have never been unblest In My invocation to you, O My
Lord!
5.
"And Verily! I fear My relatives after Me, since My wife is barren. so
give Me from yourself an heir,
6.
"Who shall inherit Me, and inherit (also) the posterity of Ya'qûb (Jacob)
(inheritance of the religious knowledge and Prophethood, not the wealth, etc.).
and make him, My Lord, one with whom You are Well-pleased!".
7.
(Allâh 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)."
8.
He said: "My Lord! How can I have a son, when My wife is barren, and I
have reached the extreme old age."
9.
He said: "So (it will be). Your Lord says; it is easy for Me. certainly I
have created You before, when You had been nothing!"
10.
[Zakariya (Zachariah)] said: "My Lord! appoint for Me a sign." He
said: "Your sign is that You shall not speak unto mankind for three
nights, though having no bodily defect."
11.
Then He came out to his people from Al-Mihrâb (a praying place or a private
room, etc.), He told them by signs to glorify Allâh's praises In the morning and
In the afternoon.
12.
(it was said to his son): "O Yahya (John)! hold fast the Scripture [the
Taurât (Torah)]." and we gave Him wisdom while yet a child.
13.
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,
14.
and dutiful towards his parents, and He was neither an arrogant nor disobedient
(to Allâh or to his parents).
15.
and Salâmun (peace) be on Him the Day He was born, the Day He dies, and the Day
He will be raised up to life (again)!
16.
and mention In the Book (the Qur'ân, O Muhammad , the story of) Maryam (Mary),
when she withdrew In seclusion from her family to a place facing east.
17.
she placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; Then we sent to her Our Ruh
[angel Jibrael (Gabriel)], and He appeared before her In the form of a man In
All respects.
18.
she said: "Verily! I seek Refuge with the Most Beneficent (Allâh) from
you, if You do fear Allâh."
19.
(the angel) said: "I am Only a Messenger from Your Lord, (to announce) to
You the gift of a righteous son."
20.
she said: "How can I have a son, when no man has touched Me, nor am I
unchaste?"
21.
He said: "So (it will be), Your Lord said: 'That is easy for Me (Allâh):
and (We wish) to appoint Him as a sign to mankind and a Mercy from us (Allâh),
and it is a matter (already) decreed, (by Allâh).' "
22.
so she conceived him, and she withdrew with Him to a far place (i.e. Bethlehem
valley about 4-6 miles from Jerusalem).
23.
and the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a date-palm. she said:
"Would that I had died before this, and had been forgotten and out of
sight!"
24.
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;
25.
"And shake the trunk of date-palm towards you, it will let fall fresh
ripe-dates upon You."
26.
"So eat and drink and be glad, and if You see any human being, say:
'Verily! I have vowed a fast unto the Most Beneficent (Allâh) so I shall not speak
to any human being This day.'"
27.
Then she brought Him (the baby) to her people, carrying Him. they said: "O
Mary! indeed You have brought a thing Fariya (an unheard mighty thing).
28.
"O sister (i.e. the like) of Hârûn (Aaron) [not the brother of Mûsa
(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."
29.
Then she pointed to Him. they said: "How can we talk to one who is a child
In the cradle?"
30.
"He ['Iesa (Jesus)] said: Verily! I am a slave of Allâh, He has given Me
the Scripture and made Me a Prophet;"
31.
"And He hath made me Blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me
prayer and charity As long As I live;
32.
"(He) hath made me kind to My mother, and not overbearing or miserable;
33.
"So peace is on me the Day I was born, the Day that I die, and the Day
that I shall be raised up to life (again)"!
34.
such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which
They (vainly) dispute.
35.
it is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son. glory
be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it, "Be", and
it is.
36.
Verily Allah is My Lord and your Lord: Him Therefore serve ye: This is a way
that is straight.
37.
but the Sects differ among themselves: and woe to the unbelievers because of
the (coming) Judgment of a momentous day!
38.
How plainly will They see and hear, the Day that They will appear before us!
but the unjust today are In Error manifest!
39.
but warn them of the Day of distress, when the matter will be determined: for
(behold,) They are negligent and They do not believe!
40.
it is we who will inherit the earth, and all beings thereon: to us will They
all be returned.
41.
(Also mention In the Book (the story of) Abraham: He was a man of truth, a
prophet.
42.
Behold, He said to His father: "O My father! why worship that which
heareth not and seeth not, and can profit Thee nothing?
43.
"O My father! to me hath come knowledge which hath not reached thee: so
follow Me: I will guide Thee to a way that is Even and straight.
44.
"O My father! serve not Satan: for Satan is a rebel against ((Allah)) Most
Gracious.
45.
"O My father! I fear Lest a penalty afflict Thee from ((Allah)) Most
Gracious, so that Thou become to Satan a friend."
46.
(the father) replied: "Dost Thou hate My gods, O Abraham? if Thou forbear
not, I will indeed stone thee: Now get away from me for a good long
while!"
47.
Abraham said: "Peace be on thee: I will pray to My Lord for Thy
forgiveness: for He is to me Most Gracious.
48.
"And I will turn away from you (all) and from those whom ye invoke besides
Allah. I will call on My Lord: perhaps, by My prayer to My Lord, I shall be not
unblest."
49.
when He had turned away from them and from those whom They worshipped besides
Allah, we bestowed on Him Isaac and Jacob, and Each one of them we made a
prophet.
50.
and we bestowed of Our Mercy on them, and we granted them lofty honour on the
tongue of Truth.
51.
also mention In the Book (the story of) Moses: for He was specially chosen, and
He was an apostle (and) a prophet.
52.
and we called Him from the right side of Mount (Sinai), and made Him draw near
to us, for mystic (converse).
53.
And, out of Our Mercy, we gave Him His brother Aaron, (also) a prophet.
54.
also mention In the Book (the story of) Isma'il: He was (strictly) true to what
He promised, and He was an apostle (and) a prophet.
55.
He used to enjoin on His people prayer and charity, and He was Most acceptable
In the sight of His Lord.
56.
also mention In the Book the case of Idris: He was a man of truth (and sincerity),
(and) a prophet:
57.
and we raised Him to a lofty station.
58.
those were some of the prophets on whom Allah did bestow His Grace,- of the
posterity of Adam, and of those who we carried (in the Ark) with Noah, and of
the posterity of Abraham and Israel of those whom we guided and chose. whenever
the Signs of ((Allah)) Most gracious were rehearsed to them, They would fall
down In prostrate adoration and In tears.
59.
but after them there followed a posterity who missed prayers and followed after
lusts soon, then, will They face Destruction,-
60.
except those who repent and believe, and work righteousness: for these will
enter the Garden and will not be wronged In the least,-
61.
Gardens of Eternity, those which ((Allah)) Most gracious has promised to His
servants In the unseen: for His promise must (necessarily) come to pass.
62.
They will not there Hear any vain discourse, but only salutations of peace: and
They will have therein their sustenance, morning and evening.
63.
such is the Garden which we give As an inheritance to those of Our servants who
guard against evil.
64.
(the angels say:) "We descend not but by command of Thy Lord: to Him
belongeth what is before us and what is behind us, and what is between: and Thy
Lord never doth forget,-
65.
"Lord of the heavens and of the earth, and of all that is between them; so
worship him, and be constant and patient In His worship: Knowest Thou of any
who is worthy of the same name As He?"
66.
man says: "What! when I am dead, shall I then be raised up alive?"
67.
but does not man call to mind that we created Him before out of nothing?
68.
so, by Thy Lord, without doubt, we shall gather them together, and (also) the
evil ones (with them); then shall we bring them forth on their knees round
about Hell;
69.
then shall we certainly drag out from every sect all those who were worst In
obstinate rebellion against ((Allah)) Most Gracious.
70.
and certainly we know best those who are Most worthy of being burned therein.
71.
not one of you but will pass over it: This is, with Thy Lord, a Decree which
must be accomplished.
72.
but we shall save those who guarded against evil, and we shall leave the
wrong-doers therein, (humbled) to their knees.
73.
when Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, the unbelievers say to those who
believe, "Which of the two sides is best In point of position? which makes
the best Show In council?"
74.
but How many (countless) generations before them have we destroyed, who were
Even better In equipment and In glitter to the eye?
75.
say: "If any men go astray, ((Allah)) Most gracious extends (the rope) to
them, until, when They see the warning of Allah (being fulfilled) - either In
punishment or In (the approach of) the Hour,- They will at length realise who
is worst In position, and (who) weakest In forces!
76.
"And Allah doth advance In guidance those who seek guidance: and the
things that endure, good deeds, are best In the sight of Thy Lord, As rewards,
and best In respect of (their) eventual return."
77.
hast Thou then seen the (sort of) man who rejects Our Signs, yet says: "I
shall certainly be given wealth and children?"
78.
has He penetrated to the Unseen, or has He taken a contract with ((Allah)) Most
Gracious?
79.
Nay! we shall record what He says, and we shall add and add to His punishment.
80.
to us shall return all that He talks of and He shall appear before us bare and
alone.
81.
and They have taken (for worship) gods other than Allah, to give them power and
glory!
82.
Instead, They shall reject their worship, and become adversaries against them.
83.
seest Thou not that we have set the evil ones on against the Unbelievers, to
incite them with fury?
84.
so make no haste against them, for we but count out to them a (limited) number
(of days).
85.
the Day we shall gather the righteous to ((Allah)) Most Gracious, like a band
presented before a king for honours,
86.
and we shall drive the sinners to Hell, like thirsty cattle driven down to
water,-
87.
none shall have the power of intercession, but such a one As has received
permission (or promise) from ((Allah)) Most Gracious.
88.
They say: "((Allah)) Most gracious has begotten a son!"
89.
indeed ye have put forth a thing Most monstrous!
90.
at it the skies are ready to burst, the earth to split asunder, and the
mountains to fall down In utter ruin,
91.
that They should invoke a son for ((Allah)) Most Gracious.
92.
for it is not consonant with the majesty of ((Allah)) Most gracious that He
should beget a son.
93.
not one of the beings In the heavens and the earth but must come to ((Allah))
Most gracious As a servant.
94.
He does take an account of them (all), and hath numbered them (all) exactly.
95.
and everyone of them will come to Him singly on the Day of Judgment.
96.
on those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, will ((Allah)) Most
gracious bestow love.
97.
so have we made the (Qur'an) easy In Thine own tongue, that with it Thou mayest
give glad tidings to the righteous, and warnings to people given to contention.
98.
but How many (countless) generations before them have we destroyed? canst Thou
find a single one of them (now) or Hear (so much as) a whisper of them?
