ذِكۡرُ رَحۡمَتِ رَبِّكَ عَبۡدَهُۥ زَكَرِيَّآ ٢

Dhikru rahmati rabbika 'abdahū zakariyyā

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

إِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُۥ نِدَآءً خَفِيّٗا ٣

Idh nādā rabbahū nidā'an khafiyyā

When he called to his Lord a private call [i.e., supplication].

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي وَهَنَ ٱلۡعَظۡمُ مِنِّي وَٱشۡتَعَلَ ٱلرَّأۡسُ شَيۡبٗا وَلَمۡ أَكُنۢ بِدُعَآئِكَ رَبِّ شَقِيّٗا ٤

Qāla rabbi innī wahanal-'azmu minnī washta'alar-ra'su shayban walam akum bidu'ā'ika rabbi shaqiyyā

He said, "My Lord, indeed my bones have weakened, and my head has filled⁸⁰⁷ with white, and never have I been in my supplication to You, my Lord, unhappy [i.e., disappointed].

وَإِنِّي خِفۡتُ ٱلۡمَوَٰلِيَ مِن وَرَآءِي وَكَانَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتِي عَاقِرٗا فَهَبۡ لِي مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيّٗا ٥

Wa innī khiftul-mawāliya min warā'ī wakānatimra'atī 'āqiran fahab lī mil ladunka waliyyā

And indeed, I fear the successors⁸⁰⁸ after me, and my wife has been barren, so give me from Yourself an heir

يَرِثُنِي وَيَرِثُ مِنۡ ءَالِ يَعۡقُوبَۖ وَٱجۡعَلۡهُ رَبِّ رَضِيّٗا ٦

Yarithunī wayarithu min āli ya'qūba waj'alhu rabbi radiyyā

Who will inherit me⁸⁰⁹ and inherit from the family of Jacob. And make him, my Lord, pleasing [to You]."

يَٰزَكَرِيَّآ إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلَٰمٍ ٱسۡمُهُۥ يَحۡيَىٰ لَمۡ نَجۡعَل لَّهُۥ مِن قَبۡلُ سَمِيّٗا ٧

Yāzakariyyā innā nubasshiruka bighulāminismuhū yahyā lam naj'al lahū min qablu samiyyā

[He was told],⁸¹⁰ "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."

قَالَ رَبِّ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِي غُلَٰمٞ وَكَانَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتِي عَاقِرٗا وَقَدۡ بَلَغۡتُ مِنَ ٱلۡكِبَرِ عِتِيّٗا ٨

Qāla rabbi annā yakūnu lī ghulāmun wakānatimra'atī 'āqiran waqad balaghtu minal-kibari 'itiyyā

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

قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ قَالَ رَبُّكَ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٞ وَقَدۡ خَلَقۡتُكَ مِن قَبۡلُ وَلَمۡ تَكُ شَيۡـٔٗا ٩

Qāla kadhālika qāla rabbuka huwa 'alayya hayyinun waqad khalaqtuka min qablu walam taku shay'ā

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

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱجۡعَل لِّيٓ ءَايَةٗۖ قَالَ ءَايَتُكَ أَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ ٱلنَّاسَ ثَلَٰثَ لَيَالٖ سَوِيّٗا ١٠

Qāla rabbij'al lī āyatan qāla āyatuka allā tukalliman-nāsa thalātha layālin sawiyyā

[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."⁸¹¹

فَخَرَجَ عَلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلۡمِحۡرَابِ فَأَوۡحَىٰٓ إِلَيۡهِمۡ أَن سَبِّحُواْ بُكۡرَةٗ وَعَشِيّٗا ١١

Fakharaja 'alā qawmihī minal-mihrābi fa awhā ilayhim an sabbihū bukratan wa'ashiyyā

So he came out to his people from the prayer chamber and signaled to them to exalt [Allāh] in the morning and afternoon.

يَٰيَحۡيَىٰ خُذِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ بِقُوَّةٖۖ وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ ٱلۡحُكۡمَ صَبِيّٗا ١٢

Yāyahyā khudhil-kitāba biquwwatin wa ātaynāhul-hukma sabiyyā

[Allāh said], "O John, take the Scripture [i.e., adhere to it] with determination." And We gave him judgement [while yet] a boy

وَحَنَانٗا مِّن لَّدُنَّا وَزَكَوٰةٗۖ وَكَانَ تَقِيّٗا ١٣

Wahanānam mil ladunnā wazakawātan wakāna taqiyyā

And affection from Us and purity, and he was fearing of Allāh

وَبَرَّۢا بِوَٰلِدَيۡهِ وَلَمۡ يَكُن جَبَّارًا عَصِيّٗا ١٤

Wabarrā biwālidayhi walam yakun jabbāran 'asiyyā

And dutiful to his parents, and he was not a disobedient tyrant.

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَيۡهِ يَوۡمَ وُلِدَ وَيَوۡمَ يَمُوتُ وَيَوۡمَ يُبۡعَثُ حَيّٗا ١٥

Wasalāmun 'alayhi yawma wulida wayawma yamūtu wayawma yub'athu hayyā

And peace be upon him the day he was born and the day he dies and the day he is raised alive.

وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ مَرۡيَمَ إِذِ ٱنتَبَذَتۡ مِنۡ أَهۡلِهَا مَكَانٗا شَرۡقِيّٗا ١٦

Wadhkur fil-kitābi maryama idhintabadhat min ahlihā makānan sharqiyyā

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

فَٱتَّخَذَتۡ مِن دُونِهِمۡ حِجَابٗا فَأَرۡسَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡهَا رُوحَنَا فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهَا بَشَرٗا سَوِيّٗا ١٧

Fattakhadhat min dūnihim hijāban fa arsalnā ilayhā rūhanā fatamatthala lahā basharan sawiyyā

And she took, in seclusion from them, a screen. Then We sent to her Our Angel [i.e., Gabriel], and he represented himself to her as a well-proportioned man.

قَالَتۡ إِنِّيٓ أَعُوذُ بِٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ مِنكَ إِن كُنتَ تَقِيّٗا ١٨

Qālat innī a'ūdhu bir-rahmāni minka in kunta taqiyyā

She said, "Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, [so leave me], if you should be fearing of Allāh."

قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ رَسُولُ رَبِّكِ لِأَهَبَ لَكِ غُلَٰمٗا زَكِيّٗا ١٩

Qāla innamā ana rasūlu rabbiki li ahaba laki ghulāman zakiyyā

He said, "I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy [i.e., son]."

قَالَتۡ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِي غُلَٰمٞ وَلَمۡ يَمۡسَسۡنِي بَشَرٞ وَلَمۡ أَكُ بَغِيّٗا ٢٠

Qālat annā yakūnu lī ghulāmun walam yamsasnī basharun walam aku baghiyyā

She said, "How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste?"

قَالَ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٞۖ وَلِنَجۡعَلَهُۥٓ ءَايَةٗ لِّلنَّاسِ وَرَحۡمَةٗ مِّنَّاۚ وَكَانَ أَمۡرٗا مَّقۡضِيّٗا ٢١

Qāla kadhāliki qāla rabbuki huwa 'alayya hayyinun walinaj'alahū āyatal lin-nāsi warahmatam minnā wakāna amram maqdiyyā

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.'"

۞ فَحَمَلَتۡهُ فَٱنتَبَذَتۡ بِهِۦ مَكَانٗا قَصِيّٗا ٢٢

Fahamalathu fantabadhat bihī makānan qasiyyā

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

فَأَجَآءَهَا ٱلۡمَخَاضُ إِلَىٰ جِذۡعِ ٱلنَّخۡلَةِ قَالَتۡ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي مِتُّ قَبۡلَ هَٰذَا وَكُنتُ نَسۡيٗا مَّنسِيّٗا ٢٣

Fa ajā'ahal-makhādu ilā jidh'in-nakhlati qālat yālaytanī mittu qabla hādhā wakuntu nasyam mansiyyā

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."

فَنَادَىٰهَا مِن تَحۡتِهَآ أَلَّا تَحۡزَنِي قَدۡ جَعَلَ رَبُّكِ تَحۡتَكِ سَرِيّٗا ٢٤

Fanādāhā min tahtihā allā tahzanī qad ja'ala rabbuki tahtaki sariyyā

But he⁸¹² called her from below her, "Do not grieve; your Lord has provided beneath you a stream.

وَهُزِّيٓ إِلَيۡكِ بِجِذۡعِ ٱلنَّخۡلَةِ تُسَٰقِطۡ عَلَيۡكِ رُطَبٗا جَنِيّٗا ٢٥

Wahuzzī ilayki bijidh'in-nakhlati tusāqit 'alayki rutaban janiyyā

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

فَكُلِي وَٱشۡرَبِي وَقَرِّي عَيۡنٗاۖ فَإِمَّا تَرَيِنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡبَشَرِ أَحَدٗا فَقُولِيٓ إِنِّي نَذَرۡتُ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ صَوۡمٗا فَلَنۡ أُكَلِّمَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ إِنسِيّٗا ٢٦

Fakulī washrabī waqarrī 'aynan fa immā tarayinna minal-bashari ahadan faqūlī innī nadhartu lir-rahmāni sawman falan ukallimal-yawma insiyyā

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.'"

فَأَتَتۡ بِهِۦ قَوۡمَهَا تَحۡمِلُهُۥۖ قَالُواْ يَٰمَرۡيَمُ لَقَدۡ جِئۡتِ شَيۡـٔٗا فَرِيّٗا ٢٧

Fa atat bihī qawmahā tahmiluhū qālū yāmaryamu laqad ji'ti shay'an fariyyā

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

يَٰٓأُخۡتَ هَٰرُونَ مَا كَانَ أَبُوكِ ٱمۡرَأَ سَوۡءٖ وَمَا كَانَتۡ أُمُّكِ بَغِيّٗا ٢٨

Yā'ukhta hārūna mā kāna abūkimra'a saw'in wamā kānat ummuki baghiyyā

O sister [i.e., descendant] of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste."

فَأَشَارَتۡ إِلَيۡهِۖ قَالُواْ كَيۡفَ نُكَلِّمُ مَن كَانَ فِي ٱلۡمَهۡدِ صَبِيّٗا ٢٩

Fa ashārat ilayhi qālū kayfa nukallimu man kāna fil-mahdi sabiyyā

So she pointed to him. They said, "How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?"

قَالَ إِنِّي عَبۡدُ ٱللَّهِ ءَاتَىٰنِيَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَجَعَلَنِي نَبِيّٗا ٣٠

Qāla innī 'abdullāhi ātāniyal-kitāba waja'alanī nabiyyā

[Jesus] said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allāh. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet.

وَجَعَلَنِي مُبَارَكًا أَيۡنَ مَا كُنتُ وَأَوۡصَٰنِي بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱلزَّكَوٰةِ مَا دُمۡتُ حَيّٗا ٣١

Waja'alanī mubārakan ayna mā kuntu wa awsānī bis-salawāti waz-zakawāti mā dumtu hayyā

And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and zakāh as long as I remain alive

وَبَرَّۢا بِوَٰلِدَتِي وَلَمۡ يَجۡعَلۡنِي جَبَّارٗا شَقِيّٗا ٣٢

Wabarrā biwālidatī walam yaj'alnī jabbāran shaqiyyā

And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant.

وَٱلسَّلَٰمُ عَلَيَّ يَوۡمَ وُلِدتُّ وَيَوۡمَ أَمُوتُ وَيَوۡمَ أُبۡعَثُ حَيّٗا ٣٣

Was-salāmu 'alayya yawma wulittu wayawma amūtu wayawma ub'athu hayyā

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

ذَٰلِكَ عِيسَى ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ قَوۡلَ ٱلۡحَقِّ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ يَمۡتَرُونَ ٣٤

Dhālika 'īsabnu maryama qawlal-haqqil-ladhī fīhi yamtarūn

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

مَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ مِن وَلَدٖۖ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥٓۚ إِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمۡرٗا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ ٣٥

Mā kāna lillāhi an yattakhidha min waladin subhānahū idhā qadā amran fa innamā yaqūlu lahū kun fayakūn

It is not [befitting] for Allāh to take a son; exalted is He!⁸¹³ When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, "Be," and it is.

وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكُمۡ فَٱعۡبُدُوهُۚ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٞ مُّسۡتَقِيمٞ ٣٦

Wa innallāha rabbī warabbukum fa'budūhu hādhā sirātum mustaqīm

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

فَٱخۡتَلَفَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِهِمۡۖ فَوَيۡلٞ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن مَّشۡهَدِ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٍ ٣٧

Fakhtalafal-ahzābu mim baynihim fawaylul lilladhīna kafarū mim mashhadi yawmin 'azīm

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

أَسۡمِعۡ بِهِمۡ وَأَبۡصِرۡ يَوۡمَ يَأۡتُونَنَا لَٰكِنِ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ فِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٖ ٣٨

Asmi' bihim wa absir yawma ya'tūnanā lākiniz-zālimūnal-yawma fī dalālim mubīn

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

وَأَنذِرۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡحَسۡرَةِ إِذۡ قُضِيَ ٱلۡأَمۡرُ وَهُمۡ فِي غَفۡلَةٖ وَهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٣٩

Wa andhirhum yawmal-hasrati idh qudiyal-amru wahum fī ghaflatin wahum lā yu'minūn

And warn them, [O Muḥammad], of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded;⁸¹⁴ and [yet], they are in [a state of] heedlessness, and they do not believe.

إِنَّا نَحۡنُ نَرِثُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَنۡ عَلَيۡهَا وَإِلَيۡنَا يُرۡجَعُونَ ٤٠

Innā nahnu narithul-arda waman 'alayhā wa ilaynā yurja'ūn

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

وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صِدِّيقٗا نَّبِيًّا ٤١

Wadhkur fil-kitābi ibrāhīma innahū kāna siddīqan nabiyyā

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

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ يَٰٓأَبَتِ لِمَ تَعۡبُدُ مَا لَا يَسۡمَعُ وَلَا يُبۡصِرُ وَلَا يُغۡنِي عَنكَ شَيۡـٔٗا ٤٢

Idh qāla li abīhi yā'abati lima ta'budu mā lā yasma'u walā yubsiru walā yughnī 'anka shay'ā

[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?

يَٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّي قَدۡ جَآءَنِي مِنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِ مَا لَمۡ يَأۡتِكَ فَٱتَّبِعۡنِيٓ أَهۡدِكَ صِرَٰطٗا سَوِيّٗا ٤٣

Yā'abati innī qad jā'anī minal-'ilmi mā lam ya'tika fattabi'nī ahdika sirātan sawiyyā

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.

يَٰٓأَبَتِ لَا تَعۡبُدِ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَۖ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَ كَانَ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ عَصِيّٗا ٤٤

Yā'abati lā ta'budish-shaytāna innash-shaytāna kāna lir-rahmāni 'asiyyā

O my father, do not worship [i.e., obey] Satan. Indeed Satan has ever been, to the Most Merciful, disobedient.

يَٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ أَن يَمَسَّكَ عَذَابٞ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ فَتَكُونَ لِلشَّيۡطَٰنِ وَلِيّٗا ٤٥

Yā'abati innī akhāfu an yamassaka 'adhābum minar-rahmāni fatakūna lish-shaytāni waliyyā

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]."

قَالَ أَرَاغِبٌ أَنتَ عَنۡ ءَالِهَتِي يَٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُۖ لَئِن لَّمۡ تَنتَهِ لَأَرۡجُمَنَّكَۖ وَٱهۡجُرۡنِي مَلِيّٗا ٤٦

Qāla arāghibun anta 'an ālihatī yā'ibrāhīmu la il lam tantahi la arjumannaka wahjurnī maliyyā

[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."

قَالَ سَلَٰمٌ عَلَيۡكَۖ سَأَسۡتَغۡفِرُ لَكَ رَبِّيٓۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ بِي حَفِيّٗا ٤٧

Qāla salāmun 'alayka sa'astaghfiru laka rabbī innahū kāna bī hafiyyā

[Abraham] said, "Peace [i.e., safety] will be upon you.⁸¹⁵ I will ask forgiveness for you of my Lord. Indeed, He is ever gracious to me.

وَأَعۡتَزِلُكُمۡ وَمَا تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَدۡعُواْ رَبِّي عَسَىٰٓ أَلَّآ أَكُونَ بِدُعَآءِ رَبِّي شَقِيّٗا ٤٨

Wa a'tazilukum wamā tad'ūna min dūnillāhi wa ad'ū rabbī 'asā allā akūna bidu'ā'i rabbī shaqiyyā

And I will leave you and those you invoke other than Allāh and will invoke⁸¹⁶ my Lord. I expect that I will not be in invocation to my Lord unhappy [i.e., disappointed]."

فَلَمَّا ٱعۡتَزَلَهُمۡ وَمَا يَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَهَبۡنَا لَهُۥٓ إِسۡحَٰقَ وَيَعۡقُوبَۖ وَكُلّٗا جَعَلۡنَا نَبِيّٗا ٤٩

Falamma'tazalahum wamā ya'budūna min dūnillāhi wahabnā lahū ishāqa waya'qūba wakullan ja'alnā nabiyyā

So when he had left them and those they worshipped other than Allāh, We gave him Isaac and Jacob, and each [of them] We made a prophet.

وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهُم مِّن رَّحۡمَتِنَا وَجَعَلۡنَا لَهُمۡ لِسَانَ صِدۡقٍ عَلِيّٗا ٥٠

Wawahabnā lahum mir rahmatinā waja'alnā lahum lisāna sidqin 'aliyyā

And We gave them of Our mercy, and We made for them a mention [i.e., reputation] of high honor.

وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ مُوسَىٰٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مُخۡلَصٗا وَكَانَ رَسُولٗا نَّبِيّٗا ٥١

Wadhkur fil-kitābi mūsā innahū kāna mukhlasan wakāna rasūlan nabiyyā

And mention in the Book, Moses. Indeed, he was chosen, and he was a messenger and a prophet.⁸¹⁷

وَنَٰدَيۡنَٰهُ مِن جَانِبِ ٱلطُّورِ ٱلۡأَيۡمَنِ وَقَرَّبۡنَٰهُ نَجِيّٗا ٥٢

Wanādaynāhu min jānibit-tūril-aymani waqarrabnāhu najiyyā

And We called him from the side of the mount⁸¹⁸ at [his] right and brought him near, confiding [to him].

وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهُۥ مِن رَّحۡمَتِنَآ أَخَاهُ هَٰرُونَ نَبِيّٗا ٥٣

Wawahabnā lahū mir rahmatinā akhāhu hārūna nabiyyā

And We gave him out of Our mercy his brother Aaron as a prophet.

وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ إِسۡمَٰعِيلَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صَادِقَ ٱلۡوَعۡدِ وَكَانَ رَسُولٗا نَّبِيّٗا ٥٤

Wadhkur fil-kitābi ismā'īla innahū kāna sādiqal-wa'di wakāna rasūlan nabiyyā

And mention in the Book, Ishmael. Indeed, he was true to his promise, and he was a messenger and a prophet.

وَكَانَ يَأۡمُرُ أَهۡلَهُۥ بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱلزَّكَوٰةِ وَكَانَ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦ مَرۡضِيّٗا ٥٥

Wakāna ya'muru ahlahū bis-salawāti waz-zakawāti wakāna 'inda rabbihī mardiyyā

And he used to enjoin on his people prayer and zakāh and was to his Lord pleasing [i.e., accepted by Him].

وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ إِدۡرِيسَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صِدِّيقٗا نَّبِيّٗا ٥٦

Wadhkur fil-kitābi idrīsa innahū kāna siddīqan nabiyyā

And mention in the Book, Idrees. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet.

وَرَفَعۡنَٰهُ مَكَانًا عَلِيًّا ٥٧

Warafa'nāhu makānan 'aliyyā

And We raised him to a high station.

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنۡعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ مِن ذُرِّيَّةِ ءَادَمَ وَمِمَّنۡ حَمَلۡنَا مَعَ نُوحٖ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّةِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ وَمِمَّنۡ هَدَيۡنَا وَٱجۡتَبَيۡنَآۚ إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ خَرُّواْۤ سُجَّدٗاۤ وَبُكِيّٗا۩ ٥٨

Ulā'ikal-ladhīna an'amallāhu 'alayhim minan-nabiyyina min dhurriyyati ādama wamimman hamalnā ma'a nūhin wamin dhurriyyati ibrāhīma wa isrā'īla wamimman hadaynā wajtabaynā idhā tutlā 'alayhim āyātur-rahmāni kharrū sujjadan wabukiyyā

Those were the ones upon whom Allāh 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 [i.e., Jacob], 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.

۞ فَخَلَفَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ خَلۡفٌ أَضَاعُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَٱتَّبَعُواْ ٱلشَّهَوَٰتِۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَلۡقَوۡنَ غَيًّا ٥٩

Fakhalafa mim ba'dihim khalfun adā'us-salawāta wattaba'ush-shahawāti fasawfa yalqawna ghayyā

But there came after them successors [i.e., later generations] who neglected prayer and pursued desires; so they are going to meet evil⁸¹⁹ -

إِلَّا مَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يَدۡخُلُونَ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَلَا يُظۡلَمُونَ شَيۡـٔٗا ٦٠

Illā man tāba wa āmana wa'amila sālihan fa ulā'ika yadkhulūnal-jannata walā yuzlamūna shay'ā

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

جَنَّٰتِ عَدۡنٍ ٱلَّتِي وَعَدَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ عِبَادَهُۥ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ وَعۡدُهُۥ مَأۡتِيّٗا ٦١

Jannāti 'adninil-latī wa'adar-rahmānu 'ibādahū bil-ghaybi innahū kāna wa'duhū ma'tiyyā

[Therein are] gardens of perpetual residence which the Most Merciful has promised His servants in the unseen. Indeed, His promise has ever been eminent.⁸²⁰

لَّا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغۡوًا إِلَّا سَلَٰمٗاۖ وَلَهُمۡ رِزۡقُهُمۡ فِيهَا بُكۡرَةٗ وَعَشِيّٗا ٦٢

Llā yasma'ūna fīhā laghwan illā salāman walahum rizquhum fīhā bukratan wa'ashiyyā

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

تِلۡكَ ٱلۡجَنَّةُ ٱلَّتِي نُورِثُ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا مَن كَانَ تَقِيّٗا ٦٣

Tilkal-jannatul-latī nūrithu min 'ibādinā man kāna taqiyyā

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

وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ إِلَّا بِأَمۡرِ رَبِّكَۖ لَهُۥ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِينَا وَمَا خَلۡفَنَا وَمَا بَيۡنَ ذَٰلِكَۚ وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ نَسِيّٗا ٦٤

Wamā natanazzalu illā bi amri rabbika lahū mā bayna aydīnā wamā khalfanā wamā bayna dhālika wamā kāna rabbuka nasiyyā

[Gabriel said],⁸²¹ "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 -

رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا فَٱعۡبُدۡهُ وَٱصۡطَبِرۡ لِعِبَٰدَتِهِۦۚ هَلۡ تَعۡلَمُ لَهُۥ سَمِيّٗا ٦٥

Rrabbus-samāwāti wal-ardi wamā baynahumā fa'budhu wastabir li'ibādatihī hal ta'lamu lahū samiyyā

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?"

وَيَقُولُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَءِذَا مَا مِتُّ لَسَوۡفَ أُخۡرَجُ حَيًّا ٦٦

Wayaqūlul-insānu a'idhā mā mittu lasawfa ukhraju hayyā

And man [i.e., the disbeliever] says, "When I have died, am I going to be brought forth alive?"

أَوَلَا يَذۡكُرُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَنَّا خَلَقۡنَٰهُ مِن قَبۡلُ وَلَمۡ يَكُ شَيۡـٔٗا ٦٧

Awalā yadhkurul-insānu annā khalaqnāhu min qablu walam yaku shay'ā

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

فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَحۡشُرَنَّهُمۡ وَٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ ثُمَّ لَنُحۡضِرَنَّهُمۡ حَوۡلَ جَهَنَّمَ جِثِيّٗا ٦٨

Fawarabbika lanahshurannahum wash-shayātīna thumma lanuhdirannahum hawla jahannama jithiyyā

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.⁸²²

ثُمَّ لَنَنزِعَنَّ مِن كُلِّ شِيعَةٍ أَيُّهُمۡ أَشَدُّ عَلَى ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ عِتِيّٗا ٦٩

Thumma lananzi'anna min kulli shī'atin ayyuhum ashaddu 'alar-rahmāni 'itiyyā

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

ثُمَّ لَنَحۡنُ أَعۡلَمُ بِٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ أَوۡلَىٰ بِهَا صِلِيّٗا ٧٠

Thumma lanahnu a'lamu billadhīna hum awlā bihā siliyyā

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

وَإِن مِّنكُمۡ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَاۚ كَانَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ حَتۡمٗا مَّقۡضِيّٗا ٧١

Wa im minkum illā wāriduhā kāna 'alā rabbika hatmam maqdiyyā

And there is none of you except he will come to it.⁸²³ This is upon your Lord an inevitability decreed.

ثُمَّ نُنَجِّي ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَواْ وَّنَذَرُ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ فِيهَا جِثِيّٗا ٧٢

Thumma nunajjil-ladhīnat-taqaw wwanadharuz-zālimīna fīhā jithiyyā

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

وَإِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتُنَا بَيِّنَٰتٖ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَيُّ ٱلۡفَرِيقَيۡنِ خَيۡرٞ مَّقَامٗا وَأَحۡسَنُ نَدِيّٗا ٧٣

Wa idhā tutlā 'alayhim āyātunā bayyinātin qālal-ladhīna kafarū lilladhīna āmanū ayyul-farīqayni khayrum maqāman wa ahsanu nadiyyā

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?"⁸²⁴

وَكَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا قَبۡلَهُم مِّن قَرۡنٍ هُمۡ أَحۡسَنُ أَثَٰثٗا وَرِءۡيٗا ٧٤

Wakam ahlaknā qablahum min qarnin hum ahsanu athāthan wari'yā

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

قُلۡ مَن كَانَ فِي ٱلضَّلَٰلَةِ فَلۡيَمۡدُدۡ لَهُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ مَدًّاۚ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا رَأَوۡاْ مَا يُوعَدُونَ إِمَّا ٱلۡعَذَابَ وَإِمَّا ٱلسَّاعَةَ فَسَيَعۡلَمُونَ مَنۡ هُوَ شَرّٞ مَّكَانٗا وَأَضۡعَفُ جُندٗا ٧٥

Qul man kāna fid-dalālati falyamdud lahur-rahmānu maddan hattā idhā ra'aw mā yū'adūna immal-'adhāba wa immas-sā'ata fasaya'lamūna man huwa sharrum makānan wa ad'afu jundā

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."

وَيَزِيدُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱهۡتَدَوۡاْ هُدٗىۗ وَٱلۡبَٰقِيَٰتُ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتُ خَيۡرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابٗا وَخَيۡرٞ مَّرَدًّا ٧٦

Wayazīdullāhul-ladhīnahtadaw hudan wal-bāqiyātus-sālihātu khayrun 'inda rabbika thawāban wakhayrum maraddā

And Allāh increases those who were guided, in guidance, and the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord⁸²⁵ for reward and better for recourse.

أَفَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِي كَفَرَ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَقَالَ لَأُوتَيَنَّ مَالٗا وَوَلَدًا ٧٧

Afara'aytal-ladhī kafara bi'āyātinā waqāla la ūtayanna mālan wawaladā

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

أَطَّلَعَ ٱلۡغَيۡبَ أَمِ ٱتَّخَذَ عِندَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ عَهۡدٗا ٧٨

Attala'al-ghayba amit-takhadha 'indar-rahmāni 'ahdā

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

كَلَّاۚ سَنَكۡتُبُ مَا يَقُولُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ مَدّٗا ٧٩

Kallā sanaktubu mā yaqūlu wanamuddu lahū minal-'adhābi maddā

وَنَرِثُهُۥ مَا يَقُولُ وَيَأۡتِينَا فَرۡدٗا ٨٠

Wanarithuhū mā yaqūlu waya'tīnā fardā

And We will inherit him [in] what he mentions,⁸²⁶ and he will come to Us alone.

Wattakhadhū min dūnillāhi ālihatal liyakūnū lahum 'izzā

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

كَلَّاۚ سَيَكۡفُرُونَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمۡ وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضِدًّا ٨٢

Kallā sayakfurūna bi'ibādatihim wayakūnūna 'alayhim diddā

No! They [i.e., those "gods"] will deny their worship of them and will be against them opponents [on the Day of Judgement].

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ تَؤُزُّهُمۡ أَزّٗا ٨٣

Alam tara annā arsalnash-shayātīna 'alal-kāfirīna ta'uzzuhum azzā

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

Falā ta'jal 'alayhim innamā na'uddu lahum 'addā

So be not impatient over them. We only count out [i.e., allow] to them a [limited] number.⁸²⁷

Waqālut-takhadhar-rahmānu waladā

That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son.

وَمَا يَنۢبَغِي لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا ٩٢

Wamā yambaghī lir-rahmāni an yattakhidha waladā

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

Fa innamā yassarnāhu bilisānika litubasshira bihil-muttaqīna watundhira bihī qawmal luddā

So, [O Muḥammad], We have only made it [i.e., the Qur’ān] easy in your tongue [i.e., the Arabic language] that you may give good tidings thereby to the righteous and warn thereby a hostile people.

وَكَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا قَبۡلَهُم مِّن قَرۡنٍ هَلۡ تُحِسُّ مِنۡهُم مِّنۡ أَحَدٍ أَوۡ تَسۡمَعُ لَهُمۡ رِكۡزَۢا ٩٨
