In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
1 |
Kaf Ha Ya 'Ayn Sad. |
2 |
(This is) a recital of the Mercy of thy Lord to His Servant Zakariya. |
3 |
Behold! he cried to his Lord in secret, |
4 |
Praying: |
5 |
"Now I fear (what) my relatives (and colleagues) (will do) after me: but my wife is barren: so give me an heir as from Thyself -- |
6 |
"(One that) will (truly) represent me, and represent the posterity of Jacob; and make him, O my Lord! one with whom Thou art well-pleased!" |
7 |
(His prayer was answered):
|
8 |
He said: "O my Lord! how shall I have a son, when my wife is barren and I have grown quite decrepit from old age?" |
9 |
He said: "So (it will be): thy Lord saith, 'That is easy for Me: I did indeed create thee before, when thou hadst been nothing!' " |
10 |
(Zakariya) said "O my Lord! give me a Sign."
|
11 |
So Zakariya came out to his people from his chamber: he told them by signs to celebrate Allah's praises in the morning and in the evening. |
12 |
(To his son came the command):
|
13 |
And pity (for all creatures) as from Us, and purity: he was devout, |
14 |
And kind to his parents, and he was not overbearing or rebellious. |
15 |
So Peace on him the day he was born, the day that he dies, and the day that he will be raised up to life (again)! |
16 |
Relate in the Book (the story of) Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place in the East. |
17 |
She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them: then We sent to her Our angel, and he appeared before her as a man in all respects. |
18 |
She said: "I seek refuge from thee to (Allah) Most Gracious: (come not near) if thou dost fear Allah." |
19 |
He said: "Nay, I am only a messenger from thy Lord, (to announce) to thee the gift of a holy son." |
20 |
She said: "How shall I have a son, seeing that no man has touched me, and I am not unchaste?" |
21 |
He said: "So (it will be): thy Lord saith, 'That is easy for Me: and (We wish) to appoint him as a Sign unto men and a Mercy from Us': it is a matter (so) decreed." |
22 |
So she conceived him, and she retired with him to a remote place. |
23 |
And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree: she cried (in her anguish):
|
24 |
But (a voice) cried to her from beneath the (palm-free):
|
25 |
"And shake towards thyself the trunk of the palm-tree: it will let fall fresh ripe dates upon thee. |
26 |
"So eat and drink and cool (thine) eye.
|
27 |
At length she brought the (babe) to her people, carrying him (in her arms).
|
28 |
"O sister of Aaron! thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!" |
29 |
But she pointed to the babe. They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?" |
30 |
He said: "I am indeed a servant of Allah: He hath given me revelation 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:
|
35 |
It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son.
|
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!
|
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: |
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?
|
47 |
Abraham said: |
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 honor on the tongue of truth. |
51 |
Also mention in the Book (the story of) Moses: for he was specially chosen, and he was a Messenger (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:
|
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 whom We carried (in the Ark) with Noah, and of the posterity of Abraham and Israel -- of those whom We guided and chose;
|
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 wrongdoers therein, (humbled) to their knees. |
73 |
When Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, the Unbelievers say to those who believe,
|
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: |
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 returns." |
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 honors. |
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 if 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 and account of them (all), and hath numbered them (all) exactly. |
95 |
And every one 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'án) 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) generation before them have We destroyed?
