About Surah Maryam

Maryam, “Mary”, is a Meccan surah and the only chapter of the Quran named after a woman — Mary, the mother of Jesus, who is also the only woman mentioned by name anywhere in the Quran. Its opening tells two miraculous birth stories, of John (Yahya) and of Jesus (’Isa), before recalling a line of earlier prophets. Throughout, it returns to God’s mercy, using His name ar-Rahman, “the Most Merciful”, again and again.

Main passages

  • Zakariyya’s quiet prayer (19:2–15): an elderly prophet, with a wife long thought unable to bear children, calls on his Lord in private and is given the good news of a son, Yahya.
  • Maryam and the birth of Jesus (19:16–33): an angel brings her the news of a pure son; she gives birth alone beside a palm tree, and when her people accuse her, the infant speaks from the cradle in her defence.
  • Abraham and his father (19:41–50): a gentle, respectful appeal from a son urging his father to leave idol worship, followed by Abraham’s promise to pray for him.
  • A line of prophets: Moses, Ishmael and Idris are mentioned in turn, ending at 19:58, a verse of prostration.
  • The claim that God has a son (19:88–95): described as so grave that the heavens nearly split, while every being in creation comes to the Most Merciful as a servant.

Its place in history

According to well-known reports in the biographies of the Prophet and in Musnad Ahmad, when Muslim emigrants sought refuge in Abyssinia, Ja’far ibn Abi Talib recited the opening of Maryam before the Christian king, the Negus, who wept and refused to hand the Muslims over to their pursuers. The surah is often read today as a natural meeting point for conversations between Muslims and Christians about Mary and Jesus.

Tone and style

Much of the surah ends its verses in a soft, flowing rhyme, which gives it a tender quality in recitation. Its stories of prayer answered in old age and of a young mother’s trial are among the most moving narrative passages in the Quran.

    19:22So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a remote place

  23. فَأَجَآءَهَا ٱلۡمَخَاضُ إِلَىٰ جِذۡعِ ٱلنَّخۡلَةِ قَالَتۡ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي مِتُّ قَبۡلَ هَٰذَا وَكُنتُ نَسۡيࣰا مَّنسِيࣰّا ۝٢٣

    19:23And 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

  24. فَنَادَىٰهَا مِن تَحۡتِهَآ أَلَّا تَحۡزَنِي قَدۡ جَعَلَ رَبُّكِ تَحۡتَكِ سَرِيࣰّا ۝٢٤

    19:24But he called her from below her, "Do not grieve; your Lord has provided beneath you a stream

  25. وَهُزِّيٓ إِلَيۡكِ بِجِذۡعِ ٱلنَّخۡلَةِ تُسَٰقِطۡ عَلَيۡكِ رُطَبࣰا جَنِيࣰّا ۝٢٥

    19:25And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates

  26. فَكُلِي وَٱشۡرَبِي وَقَرِّي عَيۡنࣰاۖ فَإِمَّا تَرَيِنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡبَشَرِ أَحَدࣰا فَقُولِيٓ إِنِّي نَذَرۡتُ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ صَوۡمࣰا فَلَنۡ أُكَلِّمَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ إِنسِيࣰّا ۝٢٦

    19:26So 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

  27. فَأَتَتۡ بِهِۦ قَوۡمَهَا تَحۡمِلُهُۥۖ قَالُواْ يَٰمَرۡيَمُ لَقَدۡ جِئۡتِ شَيۡـࣰٔا فَرِيࣰّا ۝٢٧

    19:27Then she brought him to her people, carrying him. They said, "O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented

  28. يَـٰٓأُخۡتَ هَٰرُونَ مَا كَانَ أَبُوكِ ٱمۡرَأَ سَوۡءࣲ وَمَا كَانَتۡ أُمُّكِ بَغِيࣰّا ۝٢٨

    19:28O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste

  29. فَأَشَارَتۡ إِلَيۡهِۖ قَالُواْ كَيۡفَ نُكَلِّمُ مَن كَانَ فِي ٱلۡمَهۡدِ صَبِيࣰّا ۝٢٩

    19:29So she pointed to him. They said, "How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child

  30. قَالَ إِنِّي عَبۡدُ ٱللَّهِ ءَاتَىٰنِيَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَجَعَلَنِي نَبِيࣰّا ۝٣٠

    19:30[Jesus] said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet

  31. وَجَعَلَنِي مُبَارَكًا أَيۡنَ مَا كُنتُ وَأَوۡصَٰنِي بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱلزَّكَوٰةِ مَا دُمۡتُ حَيࣰّا ۝٣١

    19:31And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and zakah as long as I remain alive

  32. وَبَرَّۢا بِوَٰلِدَتِي وَلَمۡ يَجۡعَلۡنِي جَبَّارࣰا شَقِيࣰّا ۝٣٢

    19:32And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant

  33. وَٱلسَّلَٰمُ عَلَيَّ يَوۡمَ وُلِدتُّ وَيَوۡمَ أَمُوتُ وَيَوۡمَ أُبۡعَثُ حَيࣰّا ۝٣٣

    19:33And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive

  34. ذَٰلِكَ عِيسَى ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ قَوۡلَ ٱلۡحَقِّ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ يَمۡتَرُونَ ۝٣٤

    19:34That is Jesus, the son of Mary - the word of truth about which they are in dispute

  35. مَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ مِن وَلَدࣲۖ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥٓۚ إِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمۡرࣰا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ ۝٣٥

    19:35It 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

  36. وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكُمۡ فَٱعۡبُدُوهُۚ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطࣱ مُّسۡتَقِيمࣱ ۝٣٦

    19:36[Jesus said], "And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path

  37. فَٱخۡتَلَفَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِهِمۡۖ فَوَيۡلࣱ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن مَّشۡهَدِ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٍ ۝٣٧

    19:37Then the factions differed [concerning Jesus] from among them, so woe to those who disbelieved - from the scene of a tremendous Day

  38. أَسۡمِعۡ بِهِمۡ وَأَبۡصِرۡ يَوۡمَ يَأۡتُونَنَا لَٰكِنِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ فِي ضَلَٰلࣲ مُّبِينࣲ ۝٣٨

    19:38How [clearly] they will hear and see the Day they come to Us, but the wrongdoers today are in clear error

  39. وَأَنذِرۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡحَسۡرَةِ إِذۡ قُضِيَ ٱلۡأَمۡرُ وَهُمۡ فِي غَفۡلَةࣲ وَهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ۝٣٩

    19:39And 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

  40. إِنَّا نَحۡنُ نَرِثُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَنۡ عَلَيۡهَا وَإِلَيۡنَا يُرۡجَعُونَ ۝٤٠

    19:40Indeed, it is We who will inherit the earth and whoever is on it, and to Us they will be returned

  41. وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صِدِّيقࣰا نَّبِيًّا ۝٤١

    19:41And mention in the Book [the story of] Abraham. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet

  42. إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ لِمَ تَعۡبُدُ مَا لَا يَسۡمَعُ وَلَا يُبۡصِرُ وَلَا يُغۡنِي عَنكَ شَيۡـࣰٔا ۝٤٢

    19:42[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

  43. يَـٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّي قَدۡ جَآءَنِي مِنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِ مَا لَمۡ يَأۡتِكَ فَٱتَّبِعۡنِيٓ أَهۡدِكَ صِرَٰطࣰا سَوِيࣰّا ۝٤٣

    19:43O 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

  44. يَـٰٓأَبَتِ لَا تَعۡبُدِ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَۖ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَ كَانَ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ عَصِيࣰّا ۝٤٤

    19:44O my father, do not worship Satan. Indeed Satan has ever been, to the Most Merciful, disobedient

  45. يَـٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ أَن يَمَسَّكَ عَذَابࣱ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ فَتَكُونَ لِلشَّيۡطَٰنِ وَلِيࣰّا ۝٤٥

    19:45O 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]

  46. قَالَ أَرَاغِبٌ أَنتَ عَنۡ ءَالِهَتِي يَـٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُۖ لَئِن لَّمۡ تَنتَهِ لَأَرۡجُمَنَّكَۖ وَٱهۡجُرۡنِي مَلِيࣰّا ۝٤٦

    19:46[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

  47. قَالَ سَلَٰمٌ عَلَيۡكَۖ سَأَسۡتَغۡفِرُ لَكَ رَبِّيٓۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ بِي حَفِيࣰّا ۝٤٧

    19:47[Abraham] said, "Peace will be upon you. I will ask forgiveness for you of my Lord. Indeed, He is ever gracious to me

  48. وَأَعۡتَزِلُكُمۡ وَمَا تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَدۡعُواْ رَبِّي عَسَىٰٓ أَلَّآ أَكُونَ بِدُعَآءِ رَبِّي شَقِيࣰّا ۝٤٨

    19:48And 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

  49. فَلَمَّا ٱعۡتَزَلَهُمۡ وَمَا يَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَهَبۡنَا لَهُۥٓ إِسۡحَٰقَ وَيَعۡقُوبَۖ وَكُلࣰّا جَعَلۡنَا نَبِيࣰّا ۝٤٩

    19:49So 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

  50. وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهُم مِّن رَّحۡمَتِنَا وَجَعَلۡنَا لَهُمۡ لِسَانَ صِدۡقٍ عَلِيࣰّا ۝٥٠

    19:50And We gave them of Our mercy, and we made for them a reputation of high honor

  51. وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ مُوسَىٰٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مُخۡلَصࣰا وَكَانَ رَسُولࣰا نَّبِيࣰّا ۝٥١

    19:51And mention in the Book, Moses. Indeed, he was chosen, and he was a messenger and a prophet

  52. وَنَٰدَيۡنَٰهُ مِن جَانِبِ ٱلطُّورِ ٱلۡأَيۡمَنِ وَقَرَّبۡنَٰهُ نَجِيࣰّا ۝٥٢

    19:52And We called him from the side of the mount at [his] right and brought him near, confiding [to him]

  53. وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهُۥ مِن رَّحۡمَتِنَآ أَخَاهُ هَٰرُونَ نَبِيࣰّا ۝٥٣

    19:53And We gave him out of Our mercy his brother Aaron as a prophet

  54. وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ إِسۡمَٰعِيلَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صَادِقَ ٱلۡوَعۡدِ وَكَانَ رَسُولࣰا نَّبِيࣰّا ۝٥٤

    19:54And mention in the Book, Ishmael. Indeed, he was true to his promise, and he was a messenger and a prophet

  55. وَكَانَ يَأۡمُرُ أَهۡلَهُۥ بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱلزَّكَوٰةِ وَكَانَ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦ مَرۡضِيࣰّا ۝٥٥

    19:55And he used to enjoin on his people prayer and zakah and was to his Lord pleasing

  56. وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ إِدۡرِيسَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صِدِّيقࣰا نَّبِيࣰّا ۝٥٦

    19:56And mention in the Book, Idrees. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet

  57. وَرَفَعۡنَٰهُ مَكَانًا عَلِيًّا ۝٥٧

    19:57And We raised him to a high station

  58. أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنۡعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ مِن ذُرِّيَّةِ ءَادَمَ وَمِمَّنۡ حَمَلۡنَا مَعَ نُوحࣲ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّةِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسۡرَـٰٓءِيلَ وَمِمَّنۡ هَدَيۡنَا وَٱجۡتَبَيۡنَآۚ إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ خَرُّواْۤ سُجَّدࣰاۤ وَبُكِيࣰّا۩ ۝٥٨

    19:58Those 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

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

    19:59But there came after them successors who neglected prayer and pursued desires; so they are going to meet evil

  60. إِلَّا مَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحࣰا فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ يَدۡخُلُونَ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَلَا يُظۡلَمُونَ شَيۡـࣰٔا ۝٦٠

    19:60Except those who repent, believe and do righteousness; for those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged at all

  61. جَنَّـٰتِ عَدۡنٍ ٱلَّتِي وَعَدَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ عِبَادَهُۥ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ وَعۡدُهُۥ مَأۡتِيࣰّا ۝٦١

    19:61[Therein are] gardens of perpetual residence which the Most Merciful has promised His servants in the unseen. Indeed, His promise has ever been coming

  62. لَّا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغۡوًا إِلَّا سَلَٰمࣰاۖ وَلَهُمۡ رِزۡقُهُمۡ فِيهَا بُكۡرَةࣰ وَعَشِيࣰّا ۝٦٢

    19:62They will not hear therein any ill speech - only [greetings of] peace - and they will have their provision therein, morning and afternoon

  63. تِلۡكَ ٱلۡجَنَّةُ ٱلَّتِي نُورِثُ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا مَن كَانَ تَقِيࣰّا ۝٦٣

    19:63That is Paradise, which We give as inheritance to those of Our servants who were fearing of Allah

  64. وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ إِلَّا بِأَمۡرِ رَبِّكَۖ لَهُۥ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِينَا وَمَا خَلۡفَنَا وَمَا بَيۡنَ ذَٰلِكَۚ وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ نَسِيࣰّا ۝٦٤

    19:64[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

  65. رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا فَٱعۡبُدۡهُ وَٱصۡطَبِرۡ لِعِبَٰدَتِهِۦۚ هَلۡ تَعۡلَمُ لَهُۥ سَمِيࣰّا ۝٦٥

    19:65Lord 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

  66. وَيَقُولُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَءِذَا مَا مِتُّ لَسَوۡفَ أُخۡرَجُ حَيًّا ۝٦٦

    19:66And the disbeliever says, "When I have died, am I going to be brought forth alive

  67. أَوَلَا يَذۡكُرُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَنَّا خَلَقۡنَٰهُ مِن قَبۡلُ وَلَمۡ يَكُ شَيۡـࣰٔا ۝٦٧

    19:67Does man not remember that We created him before, while he was nothing

  68. فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَحۡشُرَنَّهُمۡ وَٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ ثُمَّ لَنُحۡضِرَنَّهُمۡ حَوۡلَ جَهَنَّمَ جِثِيࣰّا ۝٦٨

    19:68So by your Lord, We will surely gather them and the devils; then We will bring them to be present around Hell upon their knees

  69. ثُمَّ لَنَنزِعَنَّ مِن كُلِّ شِيعَةٍ أَيُّهُمۡ أَشَدُّ عَلَى ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ عِتِيࣰّا ۝٦٩

    19:69Then We will surely extract from every sect those of them who were worst against the Most Merciful in insolence

  70. ثُمَّ لَنَحۡنُ أَعۡلَمُ بِٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ أَوۡلَىٰ بِهَا صِلِيࣰّا ۝٧٠

    19:70Then, surely it is We who are most knowing of those most worthy of burning therein

  71. وَإِن مِّنكُمۡ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَاۚ كَانَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ حَتۡمࣰا مَّقۡضِيࣰّا ۝٧١

    19:71And there is none of you except he will come to it. This is upon your Lord an inevitability decreed

  72. ثُمَّ نُنَجِّي ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَواْ وَّنَذَرُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ فِيهَا جِثِيࣰّا ۝٧٢

    19:72Then We will save those who feared Allah and leave the wrongdoers within it, on their knees

  73. وَإِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتُنَا بَيِّنَٰتࣲ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَيُّ ٱلۡفَرِيقَيۡنِ خَيۡرࣱ مَّقَامࣰا وَأَحۡسَنُ نَدِيࣰّا ۝٧٣

    19:73And 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

  74. وَكَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا قَبۡلَهُم مِّن قَرۡنٍ هُمۡ أَحۡسَنُ أَثَٰثࣰا وَرِءۡيࣰا ۝٧٤

    19:74And how many a generation have We destroyed before them who were better in possessions and [outward] appearance

  75. قُلۡ مَن كَانَ فِي ٱلضَّلَٰلَةِ فَلۡيَمۡدُدۡ لَهُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ مَدًّاۚ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا رَأَوۡاْ مَا يُوعَدُونَ إِمَّا ٱلۡعَذَابَ وَإِمَّا ٱلسَّاعَةَ فَسَيَعۡلَمُونَ مَنۡ هُوَ شَرࣱّ مَّكَانࣰا وَأَضۡعَفُ جُندࣰا ۝٧٥

    19:75Say, "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

  76. وَيَزِيدُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱهۡتَدَوۡاْ هُدࣰىۗ وَٱلۡبَٰقِيَٰتُ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَٰتُ خَيۡرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابࣰا وَخَيۡرࣱ مَّرَدًّا ۝٧٦

    19:76And Allah increases those who were guided, in guidance, and the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for recourse

  77. أَفَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِي كَفَرَ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَقَالَ لَأُوتَيَنَّ مَالࣰا وَوَلَدًا ۝٧٧

    19:77Then, have you seen he who disbelieved in Our verses and said, "I will surely be given wealth and children [in the next life]

  78. أَطَّلَعَ ٱلۡغَيۡبَ أَمِ ٱتَّخَذَ عِندَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ عَهۡدࣰا ۝٧٨

    19:78Has he looked into the unseen, or has he taken from the Most Merciful a promise

  79. كَلَّاۚ سَنَكۡتُبُ مَا يَقُولُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ مَدࣰّا ۝٧٩

    19:79No! We will record what he says and extend for him from the punishment extensively

  80. وَنَرِثُهُۥ مَا يَقُولُ وَيَأۡتِينَا فَرۡدࣰا ۝٨٠

    19:80And We will inherit him [in] what he mentions, and he will come to Us alone

  81. وَٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ءَالِهَةࣰ لِّيَكُونُواْ لَهُمۡ عِزࣰّا ۝٨١

    19:81And they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that they would be for them [a source of] honor

  82. كَلَّاۚ سَيَكۡفُرُونَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمۡ وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضِدًّا ۝٨٢

    19:82No! Those "gods" will deny their worship of them and will be against them opponents [on the Day of Judgement]

  83. أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ تَؤُزُّهُمۡ أَزࣰّا ۝٨٣

    19:83Do you not see that We have sent the devils upon the disbelievers, inciting them to [evil] with [constant] incitement

  84. فَلَا تَعۡجَلۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡۖ إِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمۡ عَدࣰّا ۝٨٤

    19:84So be not impatient over them. We only count out to them a [limited] number

  85. يَوۡمَ نَحۡشُرُ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ إِلَى ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ وَفۡدࣰا ۝٨٥

    19:85On the Day We will gather the righteous to the Most Merciful as a delegation

  86. وَنَسُوقُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ وِرۡدࣰا ۝٨٦

    19:86And will drive the criminals to Hell in thirst

  87. لَّا يَمۡلِكُونَ ٱلشَّفَٰعَةَ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱتَّخَذَ عِندَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ عَهۡدࣰا ۝٨٧

    19:87None will have [power of] intercession except he who had taken from the Most Merciful a covenant

  88. وَقَالُواْ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَلَدࣰا ۝٨٨

    19:88And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken [for Himself] a son

  89. لَّقَدۡ جِئۡتُمۡ شَيۡـًٔا إِدࣰّا ۝٨٩

    19:89You have done an atrocious thing

  90. تَكَادُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ يَتَفَطَّرۡنَ مِنۡهُ وَتَنشَقُّ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَتَخِرُّ ٱلۡجِبَالُ هَدًّا ۝٩٠

    19:90The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation

  91. أَن دَعَوۡاْ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ وَلَدࣰا ۝٩١

    19:91That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son

  92. وَمَا يَنۢبَغِي لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا ۝٩٢

    19:92And it is not appropriate for the Most Merciful that He should take a son

  93. إِن كُلُّ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَّآ ءَاتِي ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ عَبۡدࣰا ۝٩٣

    19:93There is no one in the heavens and earth but that he comes to the Most Merciful as a servant

  94. لَّقَدۡ أَحۡصَىٰهُمۡ وَعَدَّهُمۡ عَدࣰّا ۝٩٤

    19:94He has enumerated them and counted them a [full] counting

  95. وَكُلُّهُمۡ ءَاتِيهِ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ فَرۡدًا ۝٩٥

    19:95And all of them are coming to Him on the Day of Resurrection alone

  96. إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَٰتِ سَيَجۡعَلُ لَهُمُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وُدࣰّا ۝٩٦

    19:96Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - the Most Merciful will appoint for them affection

  97. فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرۡنَٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ وَتُنذِرَ بِهِۦ قَوۡمࣰا لُّدࣰّا ۝٩٧

    19:97So, [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

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

    19:98And how many have We destroyed before them of generations? Do you perceive of them anyone or hear from them a sound
