Thikru rahmati rabbika AAabdahu zakariyya

[This is] a mention of the mercy of your Lord to His servant Zechariah

When he called to his Lord a private supplication

Qala rabbi innee wahana alAAathmu minnee waishtaAAala alrrasu shayban walam akun biduAAaika rabbi shaqiyyan

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

Wainnee khiftu almawaliya min waraee wakanati imraatee AAaqiran fahab lee min ladunka waliyyan

And indeed, I fear the successors after me, and my wife has been barren, so give me from Yourself an heir

Who will inherit me and inherit from the family of Jacob. And make him, my Lord, pleasing [to You]

Ya zakariyya inna nubashshiruka bighulamin ismuhu yahya lam najAAal lahu min qablu samiyyan

[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

Qala rabbi anna yakoonu lee ghulamun wakanati imraatee AAaqiran waqad balaghtu mina alkibari AAitiyyan

He said, "My Lord, how will I have a boy when my wife has been barren and I have reached extreme old age

Qala kathalika qala rabbuka huwa AAalayya hayyinun waqad khalaqtuka min qablu walam taku shayan

[An angel] said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, for I created you before, while you were nothing

Qala rabbi ijAAal lee ayatan qala ayatuka alla tukallima alnnasa thalatha layalin sawiyyan

[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

And mention, [O Muhammad], in the Book [the story of] Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place toward the east

Faittakhathat min doonihim hijaban faarsalna ilayha roohana fatamaththala laha basharan sawiyyan

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

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

Fahamalathu faintabathat bihi makanan qasiyyan

So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a remote place

Faajaaha almakhadu ila jithAAi alnnakhlati qalat ya laytanee mittu qabla hatha wakuntu nasyan mansiyyan

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

Fanadaha min tahtiha alla tahzanee qad jaAAala rabbuki tahtaki sariyyan

But he called her from below her, "Do not grieve; your Lord has provided beneath you a stream

Wahuzzee ilayki bijithAAi alnnakhlati tusaqit AAalayki rutaban janiyyan

And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates

Fakulee waishrabee waqarree AAaynan faimma tarayinna mina albashari ahadan faqoolee innee nathartu lilrrahmani sawman falan okallima alyawma insiyyan

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

Faatat bihi qawmaha tahmiluhu qaloo ya maryamu laqad jiti shayan fariyyan

Then she brought him to her people, carrying him. They said, "O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented

Ya okhta haroona ma kana abooki imraa sawin wama kanat ommuki baghiyyan

O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste

And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive

Thalika AAeesa ibnu maryama qawla alhaqqi allathee feehi yamtaroona

That is Jesus, the son of Mary - the word of truth about which they are in dispute

Ma kana lillahi an yattakhitha min waladin subhanahu itha qada amran fainnama yaqoolu lahu kun fayakoonu

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

Wainna Allaha rabbee warabbukum faoAAbudoohu hatha siratun mustaqeemun

[Jesus said], "And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path

Faikhtalafa alahzabu min baynihim fawaylun lillatheena kafaroo min mashhadi yawmin AAatheemin

Then the factions differed [concerning Jesus] from among them, so woe to those who disbelieved - from the scene of a tremendous Day

AsmiAA bihim waabsir yawma yatoonana lakini alththalimoona alyawma fee dalalin mubeenin

How [clearly] they will hear and see the Day they come to Us, but the wrongdoers today are in clear error

Waanthirhum yawma alhasrati ith qudiya alamru wahum fee ghaflatin wahum la yuminoona

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

Inna nahnu narithu alarda waman AAalayha wailayna yurjaAAoona

Indeed, it is We who will inherit the earth and whoever is on it, and to Us they will be returned

Waothkur fee alkitabi ibraheema innahu kana siddeeqan nabiyyan

And mention in the Book [the story of] Abraham. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet

Ith qala liabeehi ya abati lima taAAbudu ma la yasmaAAu wala yubsiru wala yughnee AAanka shayan

[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

Ya abati innee qad jaanee mina alAAilmi ma lam yatika faittabiAAnee ahdika siratan sawiyyan

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

Ya abati la taAAbudi alshshaytana inna alshshaytana kana lilrrahmani AAasiyyan

O my father, do not worship Satan. Indeed Satan has ever been, to the Most Merciful, disobedient

Ya abati innee akhafu an yamassaka AAathabun mina alrrahmani fatakoona lilshshyatani waliyyan

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]

Qala araghibun anta AAan alihatee ya ibraheemu lain lam tantahi laarjumannaka waohjurnee maliyyan

[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

[Abraham] said, "Peace will be upon you. I will ask forgiveness for you of my Lord. Indeed, He is ever gracious to me

WaaAAtazilukum wama tadAAoona min dooni Allahi waadAAoo rabbee AAasa alla akoona biduAAai rabbee shaqiyyan

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

Falamma iAAtazalahum wama yaAAbudoona min dooni Allahi wahabna lahu ishaqa wayaAAqooba wakullan jaAAalna nabiyyan

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

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

Fakhalafa min baAAdihim khalfun adaAAoo alssalata waittabaAAoo alshshahawati fasawfa yalqawna ghayyan

But there came after them successors who neglected prayer and pursued desires; so they are going to meet evil

Illa man taba waamana waAAamila salihan faolaika yadkhuloona aljannata wala yuthlamoona shayan

Except those who repent, believe and do righteousness; for those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged at all

[Therein are] gardens of perpetual residence which the Most Merciful has promised His servants in the unseen. Indeed, His promise has ever been coming

La yasmaAAoona feeha laghwan illa salaman walahum rizquhum feeha bukratan waAAashiyyan

They will not hear therein any ill speech - only [greetings of] peace - and they will have their provision therein, morning and afternoon

Tilka aljannatu allatee noorithu min AAibadina man kana taqiyyan

That is Paradise, which We give as inheritance to those of Our servants who were fearing of Allah

Wama natanazzalu illa biamri rabbika lahu ma bayna aydeena wama khalfana wama bayna thalika wama kana rabbuka nasiyyan

[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

Rabbu alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma faoAAbudhu waistabir liAAibadatihi hal taAAlamu lahu samiyyan

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

Wayaqoolu alinsanu aitha ma mittu lasawfa okhraju hayyan

And the disbeliever says, "When I have died, am I going to be brought forth alive

Awala yathkuru alinsanu anna khalaqnahu min qablu walam yaku shayan

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

Fawarabbika lanahshurannahum waalshshayateena thumma lanuhdirannahum hawla jahannama jithiyyan

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

Thumma lananziAAanna min kulli sheeAAatin ayyuhum ashaddu AAala alrrahmani AAitiyyan

Then We will surely extract from every sect those of them who were worst against the Most Merciful in insolence

Thumma lanahnu aAAlamu biallatheena hum awla biha siliyyan

Then, surely it is We who are most knowing of those most worthy of burning therein

Wain minkum illa wariduha kana AAala rabbika hatman maqdiyyan

And there is none of you except he will come to it. This is upon your Lord an inevitability decreed

Thumma nunajjee allatheena ittaqaw wanatharu alththalimeena feeha jithiyyan

Then We will save those who feared Allah and leave the wrongdoers within it, on their knees

Waitha tutla AAalayhim ayatuna bayyinatin qala allatheena kafaroo lillatheena amanoo ayyu alfareeqayni khayrun maqaman waahsanu nadiyyan

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

Wakam ahlakna qablahum min qarnin hum ahsanu athathan wariyan

And how many a generation have We destroyed before them who were better in possessions and [outward] appearance

Qul man kana fee alddalalati falyamdud lahu alrrahmanu maddan hatta itha raaw ma yooAAadoona imma alAAathaba waimma alssaAAata fasayaAAlamoona man huwa sharrun makanan waadAAafu jundan

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

Wayazeedu Allahu allatheena ihtadaw hudan waalbaqiyatu alssalihatu khayrun AAinda rabbika thawaban wakhayrun maraddan

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

Afaraayta allathee kafara biayatina waqala laootayanna malan wawaladan

Then, have you seen he who disbelieved in Our verses and said, "I will surely be given wealth and children [in the next life]

AttalaAAa alghayba ami ittakhatha AAinda alrrahmani AAahdan

Has he looked into the unseen, or has he taken from the Most Merciful a promise

Kalla sanaktubu ma yaqoolu wanamuddu lahu mina alAAathabi maddan

No! We will record what he says and extend for him from the punishment extensively

Wanarithuhu ma yaqoolu wayateena fardan

And We will inherit him [in] what he mentions, and he will come to Us alone

Waittakhathoo min dooni Allahi alihatan liyakoonoo lahum AAizzan

And they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that they would be for them [a source of] honor

Kalla sayakfuroona biAAibadatihim wayakoonoona AAalayhim diddan

No! Those "gods" will deny their worship of them and will be against them opponents [on the Day of Judgement]

Alam tara anna arsalna alshshayateena AAala alkafireena taozzuhum azzan

Do you not see that We have sent the devils upon the disbelievers, inciting them to [evil] with [constant] incitement

Fala taAAjal AAalayhim innama naAAuddu lahum AAaddan

So be not impatient over them. We only count out to them a [limited] number

Yawma nahshuru almuttaqeena ila alrrahmani wafdan

On the Day We will gather the righteous to the Most Merciful as a delegation

Wanasooqu almujrimeena ila jahannama wirdan

And will drive the criminals to Hell in thirst

None will have [power of] intercession except he who had taken from the Most Merciful a covenant

Waqaloo ittakhatha alrrahmanu waladan

And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken [for Himself] a son

Laqad jitum shayan iddan

You have done an atrocious thing

Takadu alssamawatu yatafattarna minhu watanshaqqu alardu watakhirru aljibalu haddan

The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation

An daAAaw lilrrahmani waladan

That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son

Wama yanbaghee lilrrahmani an yattakhitha waladan

And it is not appropriate for the Most Merciful that He should take a son

In kullu man fee alssamawati waalardi illa atee alrrahmani AAabdan

There is no one in the heavens and earth but that he comes to the Most Merciful as a servant

Laqad ahsahum waAAaddahum AAaddan

He has enumerated them and counted them a [full] counting

Wakulluhum ateehi yawma alqiyamati fardan

And all of them are coming to Him on the Day of Resurrection alone

Inna allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati sayajAAalu lahumu alrrahmanu wuddan

Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - the Most Merciful will appoint for them affection

Fainnama yassarnahu bilisanika litubashshira bihi almuttaqeena watunthira bihi qawman luddan

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

Wakam ahlakna qablahum min qarnin hal tuhissu minhum min ahadin aw tasmaAAu lahum rikzan

And how many have We destroyed before them of generations? Do you perceive of them anyone or hear from them a sound
