Zikru rahmati Rabbika 'abdahoo Zakariyya

(This is) a recital of the Mercy of thy Lord to His servant Zakariya.

اِذْ نَادٰی رَبَّهٗ نِدَآءً خَفِیًّا ۟

Iz naadaa Rabbahoo nidaaa'an khafiyyaa

Behold! he cried to his Lord in secret,

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّیْ وَهَنَ الْعَظْمُ مِنِّیْ وَاشْتَعَلَ الرَّاْسُ شَیْبًا وَّلَمْ اَكُنْ بِدُعَآىِٕكَ رَبِّ شَقِیًّا ۟

Qaala Rabbi innee wahanal 'azmu minnee washta 'alar ra'su shaibanw wa lam akun bidu'aaa'ika Rabbi shaqiyyaa

Praying: "O my Lord! infirm indeed are my bones, and the hair of my head doth glisten with grey: but never am I unblest, O my Lord, in my prayer to Thee!

وَاِنِّیْ خِفْتُ الْمَوَالِیَ مِنْ وَّرَآءِیْ وَكَانَتِ امْرَاَتِیْ عَاقِرًا فَهَبْ لِیْ مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ وَلِیًّا ۟

Wa innee khiftul mawaaliya minw waraaa'ee wa kaanat imra atee 'aqiran fa hablee mil ladunka waliyyaa

"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,-

یَّرِثُنِیْ وَیَرِثُ مِنْ اٰلِ یَعْقُوْبَ وَاجْعَلْهُ رَبِّ رَضِیًّا ۟

Yarisunee wa yarisu min aali Ya'qoob, waj'alhu Rabbi radiyya

"(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!"

یٰزَكَرِیَّاۤ اِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلٰمِ ݹسْمُهٗ یَحْیٰی لَمْ نَجْعَلْ لَّهٗ مِنْ قَبْلُ سَمِیًّا ۟

Yaa Zakariyyaaa innaa nubashshiruka bi ghulaamin ismuhoo Yahyaa lam naj'al lahoo min qablu samiyyaa

(His prayer was answered): "O Zakariya! We give thee good news of a son: His name shall be Yahya: on none by that name have We conferred distinction before."

قَالَ رَبِّ اَنّٰی یَكُوْنُ لِیْ غُلٰمٌ وَّكَانَتِ امْرَاَتِیْ عَاقِرًا وَّقَدْ بَلَغْتُ مِنَ الْكِبَرِ عِتِیًّا ۟

Qaala Rabbi annaa yakoonu lee ghulaamunw wakaanat imra atee 'aaqiranw wa qad balaghtu minal kibari 'itiyyaa

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?"

قَالَ كَذٰلِكَ قَالَ رَبُّكَ هُوَ عَلَیَّ هَیِّنٌ وَّقَدْ خَلَقْتُكَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلَمْ تَكُ شَیْـًٔا ۟

Qaala kazaalika qaala Rabbuka huwa 'alaiya haiyinunw wa qad khalaqtuka min qablu wa lam taku shai'aa

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!'"

قَالَ رَبِّ اجْعَلْ لِّیْۤ اٰیَةً قَالَ اٰیَتُكَ اَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ النَّاسَ ثَلٰثَ لَیَالٍ سَوِیًّا ۟

Qaala Rabbij 'al leee Aayah; qaala Aayatuka allaa tukalliman naasa salaasa layaalin sawiyyaa

(Zakariya) said: "O my Lord! give me a Sign." "Thy Sign," was the answer, "Shall be that thou shalt speak to no man for three nights, although thou art not dumb."

فَخَرَجَ عَلٰی قَوْمِهٖ مِنَ الْمِحْرَابِ فَاَوْحٰۤی اِلَیْهِمْ اَنْ سَبِّحُوْا بُكْرَةً وَّعَشِیًّا ۟

Fakharaja 'alaa qawmihee minal mihraabi fa-awhaaa ilaihim an sabbihoo bukratanw wa 'ashiyyaa

So Zakariya came out to his people from him chamber: He told them by signs to celebrate Allah's praises in the morning and in the evening.

یٰیَحْیٰی خُذِ الْكِتٰبَ بِقُوَّةٍ وَاٰتَیْنٰهُ الْحُكْمَ صَبِیًّا ۟

Yaa Yahyaa khuzil Kitaaba biquwwatinw wa aatainaahul hukma sabiyyaa

(To his son came the command): "O Yahya! take hold of the Book with might": and We gave him Wisdom even as a youth,

وَّحَنَانًا مِّنْ لَّدُنَّا وَزَكٰوةً وَكَانَ تَقِیًّا ۟

Wa hanaanam mil ladunnaa wa zakaatanw wa kaana taqiyyaa

And piety (for all creatures) as from Us, and purity: He was devout,

وَّبَرًّا بِوَالِدَیْهِ وَلَمْ یَكُنْ جَبَّارًا عَصِیًّا ۟

Wa barram biwaalidayhi wa lam yakum jabbaaran 'asiyyaa

And kind to his parents, and he was not overbearing or rebellious.

وَسَلٰمٌ عَلَیْهِ یَوْمَ وُلِدَ وَیَوْمَ یَمُوْتُ وَیَوْمَ یُبْعَثُ حَیًّا 

Wa salaamun 'alaihi yawma wulida wa yawma yamootu wa yawma yub'asu haiyyaa

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)!

وَاذْكُرْ فِی الْكِتٰبِ مَرْیَمَ اِذِ انْتَبَذَتْ مِنْ اَهْلِهَا مَكَانًا شَرْقِیًّا ۟

Wazkur fil Kitaabi Maryama; izin tabazat min ahlihaa makaanan sharqiyyaa

Relate in the Book (the story of) Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place in the East.

فَاتَّخَذَتْ مِنْ دُوْنِهِمْ حِجَابًا فَاَرْسَلْنَاۤ اِلَیْهَا رُوْحَنَا فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهَا بَشَرًا سَوِیًّا ۟

Fattakhazat min doonihim hijaaban fa arsalnaaa ilaihaa roohanaa fatamassala lahaa basharan sawiyyaa

She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent her our angel, and he appeared before her as a man in all respects.

قَالَتْ اِنِّیْۤ اَعُوْذُ بِالرَّحْمٰنِ مِنْكَ اِنْ كُنْتَ تَقِیًّا ۟

Qaalat inneee a'oozu bir Rahmaani minka in kunta taqiyyaa

She said: "I seek refuge from thee to (Allah) Most Gracious: (come not near) if thou dost fear Allah."

قَالَ اِنَّمَاۤ اَنَا رَسُوْلُ رَبِّكِ لِاَهَبَ لَكِ غُلٰمًا زَكِیًّا ۟

Qaala innamaa ana rasoolu Rabbiki li ahaba laki ghulaaman zakiyyaa

He said: "Nay, I am only a messenger from thy Lord, (to announce) to thee the gift of a holy son.

قَالَتْ اَنّٰی یَكُوْنُ لِیْ غُلٰمٌ وَّلَمْ یَمْسَسْنِیْ بَشَرٌ وَّلَمْ اَكُ بَغِیًّا ۟

Qaalat anna yakoonu lee ghulaamunw wa lam yamsasnee bashrunw wa lam aku baghiyyaa

She said: "How shall I have a son, seeing that no man has touched me, and I am not unchaste?"

قَالَ كَذٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ هُوَ عَلَیَّ هَیِّنٌ وَلِنَجْعَلَهٗۤ اٰیَةً لِّلنَّاسِ وَرَحْمَةً مِّنَّا وَكَانَ اَمْرًا مَّقْضِیًّا ۟

Qaala kazaaliki qaala Rabbuki huwa 'alaiya haiyimunw wa linaj 'alahooo Aayatal linnaasi wa rahmatam minnaa; wa kaana amram maqdiyyaa

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."

فَحَمَلَتْهُ فَانْتَبَذَتْ بِهٖ مَكَانًا قَصِیًّا ۟

Fahamalat hu fantabazat bihee makaanan qasiyyaa

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

فَاَجَآءَهَا الْمَخَاضُ اِلٰی جِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ قَالَتْ یٰلَیْتَنِیْ مِتُّ قَبْلَ هٰذَا وَكُنْتُ نَسْیًا مَّنْسِیًّا ۟

Fa ajaaa 'ahal makhaadu ilaa jiz'in nakhlati qaalat yaa laitanee mittu qabla haazaa wa kuntu nasyam mansiyyaa

And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree: She cried (in her anguish): "Ah! would that I had died before this! would that I had been a thing forgotten and out of sight!"

فَنَادٰىهَا مِنْ تَحْتِهَاۤ اَلَّا تَحْزَنِیْ قَدْ جَعَلَ رَبُّكِ تَحْتَكِ سَرِیًّا ۟

Fanaadaahaa min tahtihaaa allaa tahzanee qad ja'ala Rabbuki tahtaki sariyyaa

But (a voice) cried to her from beneath the (palm-tree): "Grieve not! for thy Lord hath provided a rivulet beneath thee;

وَهُزِّیْۤ اِلَیْكِ بِجِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ تُسٰقِطْ عَلَیْكِ رُطَبًا جَنِیًّا 

Wa huzzeee ilaiki bijiz 'in nakhlati tusaaqit 'alaiki rutaban janiyyaa

"And shake towards thyself the trunk of the palm-tree: It will let fall fresh ripe dates upon thee.

فَكُلِیْ وَاشْرَبِیْ وَقَرِّیْ عَیْنًا فَاِمَّا تَرَیِنَّ مِنَ الْبَشَرِ اَحَدًا فَقُوْلِیْۤ اِنِّیْ نَذَرْتُ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ صَوْمًا فَلَنْ اُكَلِّمَ الْیَوْمَ اِنْسِیًّا ۟

Fakulee washrabee wa qarree 'ainaa; fa immaa tarayinnna minal bashari ahadan faqooleee innee nazartu lir Rahmaani sawman falan ukallimal yawma insiyyaa

"So eat and drink and cool (thine) eye. And if thou dost see any man, say, 'I have vowed a fast to (Allah) Most Gracious, and this day will I enter into not talk with any human being'"

فَاَتَتْ بِهٖ قَوْمَهَا تَحْمِلُهٗ قَالُوْا یٰمَرْیَمُ لَقَدْ جِئْتِ شَیْـًٔا فَرِیًّا ۟

Fa atat bihee qawmahaa tahmiluhoo qaaloo yaa Maryamoo laqad ji'ti shai'an fariyyaa

At length she brought the (babe) to her people, carrying him (in her arms). They said: "O Mary! truly an amazing thing hast thou brought!

یٰۤاُخْتَ هٰرُوْنَ مَا كَانَ اَبُوْكِ امْرَاَ سَوْءٍ وَّمَا كَانَتْ اُمُّكِ بَغِیًّا ۟

Yaaa ukhta Haaroona maa kaana abookimra'a saw'inw wa maa kaanat ummuki baghiyyaa

"O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!"

فَاَشَارَتْ اِلَیْهِ قَالُوْا كَیْفَ نُكَلِّمُ مَنْ كَانَ فِی الْمَهْدِ صَبِیًّا ۟

Fa ashaarat ilaih; qaaloo kaifa nukallimu man kaana fil mahdi sabiyyaa

But she pointed to the babe. They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?"

قَالَ اِنِّیْ عَبْدُ اللّٰهِ اٰتٰىنِیَ الْكِتٰبَ وَجَعَلَنِیْ نَبِیًّا ۟

Qaala innee 'abdullaahi aataaniyal Kitaaba wa ja'alanee Nabiyyaa

He said: "I am indeed a servant of Allah: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet;

وَّجَعَلَنِیْ مُبٰرَكًا اَیْنَ مَا كُنْتُ وَاَوْصٰنِیْ بِالصَّلٰوةِ وَالزَّكٰوةِ مَا دُمْتُ حَیًّا ۟

Wa ja'alanee mubaarakan aina maa kuntu wa awsaanee bis Salaati waz Zakaati maa dumtu haiyaa

"And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live;

Wa barram biwaalidatee wa lam yaj'alnee jabbaaran shaqiyyaa

"(He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable;

وَالسَّلٰمُ عَلَیَّ یَوْمَ وُلِدْتُّ وَیَوْمَ اَمُوْتُ وَیَوْمَ اُبْعَثُ حَیًّا ۟

Wassalaamu 'alaiya yawma wulidtu wa yawma amootu wa yawma ub'asu haiyaa

"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)"!

ذٰلِكَ عِیْسَی ابْنُ مَرْیَمَ قَوْلَ الْحَقِّ الَّذِیْ فِیْهِ یَمْتَرُوْنَ ۟

Zaalika 'Eesab-nu Maryama; qawlal haqqil lazee feehi yamtaroon

Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute.

مَا كَانَ لِلّٰهِ اَنْ یَّتَّخِذَ مِنْ وَّلَدٍ سُبْحٰنَهٗ اِذَا قَضٰۤی اَمْرًا فَاِنَّمَا یَقُوْلُ لَهٗ كُنْ فَیَكُوْنُ ۟

Maa kaana lillaahi ai yattakhiza minw waladin Subhaanah; izaa qadaaa amran fa innamaa yaqoolu lahoo kun fa yakoon

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.

وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ رَبِّیْ وَرَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوْهُ هٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِیْمٌ ۟

Wa innal laaha Rabbee wa Rabbukum fa'budooh; haazaa Siraatum Mustaqeem

Verily Allah is my Lord and your Lord: Him therefore serve ye: this is a Way that is straight.

Fakhtalafal ahzaabu min bainihim fawailul lillazeena kafaroo min mashhadi Yawmin 'azeem

But the sects differ among themselves: and woe to the unbelievers because of the (coming) Judgment of a Momentous Day!

اَسْمِعْ بِهِمْ وَاَبْصِرْ یَوْمَ یَاْتُوْنَنَا لٰكِنِ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ الْیَوْمَ فِیْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِیْنٍ ۟

How plainly will they see and hear, the Day that they will appear before Us! but the unjust today are in error manifest!

وَاَنْذِرْهُمْ یَوْمَ الْحَسْرَةِ اِذْ قُضِیَ الْاَمْرُ وَهُمْ فِیْ غَفْلَةٍ وَّهُمْ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ ۟

Wa anzirhum Yawmal hasrati iz qudiyal amr; wa hum fee ghaflatinw wa hum laa yu'minoon

But warn them of the Day of Distress, when the matter will be determined: for (behold,) they are negligent and they do not believe!

اِنَّا نَحْنُ نَرِثُ الْاَرْضَ وَمَنْ عَلَیْهَا وَاِلَیْنَا یُرْجَعُوْنَ 

It is We Who will inherit the earth, and all beings thereon: to Us will they all be returned.

یٰۤاَبَتِ اِنِّیْ قَدْ جَآءَنِیْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ مَا لَمْ یَاْتِكَ فَاتَّبِعْنِیْۤ اَهْدِكَ صِرَاطًا سَوِیًّا ۟

یٰۤاَبَتِ اِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ اَنْ یَّمَسَّكَ عَذَابٌ مِّنَ الرَّحْمٰنِ فَتَكُوْنَ لِلشَّیْطٰنِ وَلِیًّا ۟

Yaaa abati innee akhaafu ai yamassaka 'azaabum minar Rahmaani fatakoona lish Shaitaani waliyyaa

"O my father! I fear lest a Penalty afflict thee from (Allah) Most Gracious, so that thou become to Satan a friend."

"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."

فَلَمَّا اعْتَزَلَهُمْ وَمَا یَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَهَبْنَا لَهٗۤ اِسْحٰقَ وَیَعْقُوْبَ وَكُلًّا جَعَلْنَا نَبِیًّا ۟

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.

And we called him from the right side of Mount (Sinai), and made him draw near to Us, for mystic (converse).

And We raised him to a lofty station.

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.

Illaa man taaba wa aamana wa 'amila saalihan fa ulaaa'ika yadkhuloonal jannata wa laa yuzlamoona shai'aa

Except those who repent and believe, and work righteousness: for these will enter the Garden and will not be wronged in the least,-

جَنّٰتِ عَدْنِ ݹلَّتِیْ وَعَدَ الرَّحْمٰنُ عِبَادَهٗ بِالْغَیْبِ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ وَعْدُهٗ مَاْتِیًّا ۟

Jannaati 'adninil latee wa'adar Rahmaanu ibaadahoo bilghaib; innahoo kaana wa'duhoo ma'tiyyaa

Gardens of Eternity, those which (Allah) Most Gracious has promised to His servants in the Unseen: for His promise must (necessarily) come to pass.

لَا یَسْمَعُوْنَ فِیْهَا لَغْوًا اِلَّا سَلٰمًا وَلَهُمْ رِزْقُهُمْ فِیْهَا بُكْرَةً وَّعَشِیًّا ۟

Laa yasma'oona feehaa laghwan illaa salaamaa; wa lahum rizquhum feehaa bukratanw wa 'ashiyyaa

They will not there hear any vain discourse, but only salutations of Peace: And they will have therein their sustenance, morning and evening.

تِلْكَ الْجَنَّةُ الَّتِیْ نُوْرِثُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا مَنْ كَانَ تَقِیًّا ۟

Tilkal jannatul latee noorisu min 'ibaadinaa man kaana taqiyyaa

Such is the Garden which We give as an inheritance to those of Our servants who guard against Evil.

وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ اِلَّا بِاَمْرِ رَبِّكَ لَهٗ مَا بَیْنَ اَیْدِیْنَا وَمَا خَلْفَنَا وَمَا بَیْنَ ذٰلِكَ وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ نَسِیًّا ۟

Wa maa natanazzalu illaa bi amri Rabbika lahoo maa baina aideenaa wa maa khalfanaa wa maa baina zaalik; wa maa kaana Rabbuka nasiyyaa

(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,-

رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَیْنَهُمَا فَاعْبُدْهُ وَاصْطَبِرْ لِعِبَادَتِهٖ هَلْ تَعْلَمُ لَهٗ سَمِیًّا 

Rabbus samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumaa fa'bud hu wastabir li'ibaadatih; hal ta'lamu lahoo samiyyaa

"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?"

وَیَقُوْلُ الْاِنْسَانُ ءَاِذَا مَا مِتُّ لَسَوْفَ اُخْرَجُ حَیًّا ۟

Wa yaqoolul insaanu 'a izaa maa mittu lasawfa ukhraju haiyaa

Man says: "What! When I am dead, shall I then be raised up alive?"

اَوَلَا یَذْكُرُ الْاِنْسَانُ اَنَّا خَلَقْنٰهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلَمْ یَكُ شَیْـًٔا ۟

A wa laa yazkurul insaanu annaa khalaqnaahu min qablu wa lam yaku shai'aa

But does not man call to mind that We created him before out of nothing?

فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَحْشُرَنَّهُمْ وَالشَّیٰطِیْنَ ثُمَّ لَنُحْضِرَنَّهُمْ حَوْلَ جَهَنَّمَ جِثِیًّا ۟

Fawa Rabbika lanahshu rannahum wash shayaateena summa lanuhdirannahum hawla jahannama jisiyyaa

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;

ثُمَّ لَنَنْزِعَنَّ مِنْ كُلِّ شِیْعَةٍ اَیُّهُمْ اَشَدُّ عَلَی الرَّحْمٰنِ عِتِیًّا ۟

Summa lanan zi'anna min kulli shee'atin aiyuhum ashaddu 'alar Rahmaani 'itiyyaa

Then shall We certainly drag out from every sect all those who were worst in obstinate rebellion against (Allah) Most Gracious.

ثُمَّ لَنَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِالَّذِیْنَ هُمْ اَوْلٰی بِهَا صِلِیًّا ۟

Summa lanahnu a'lamu billazeena hum awlaa bihaa siliyyaa

And certainly We know best those who are most worthy of being burned therein.

وَاِنْ مِّنْكُمْ اِلَّا وَارِدُهَا كَانَ عَلٰی رَبِّكَ حَتْمًا مَّقْضِیًّا ۟

Wa in minkum illaa waariduhaa; kaana 'alaa Rabbika hatmam maqdiyyaa

Not one of you but will pass over it: this is, with thy Lord, a Decree which must be accomplished.

ثُمَّ نُنَجِّی الَّذِیْنَ اتَّقَوْا وَّنَذَرُ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ فِیْهَا جِثِیًّا ۟

Summa nunajjil lazeenat taqaw wa nazaruz zaalimeena feehaa jisiyyaa

But We shall save those who guarded against evil, and We shall leave the wrong-doers therein, (humbled) to their knees.

وَاِذَا تُتْلٰی عَلَیْهِمْ اٰیٰتُنَا بَیِّنٰتٍ قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لِلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اَیُّ الْفَرِیْقَیْنِ خَیْرٌ مَّقَامًا وَّاَحْسَنُ نَدِیًّا ۟

Wa izaa tutlaa 'alaihim Aayaatunaa baiyinaatin qaalal lazeena kafaroo lillazeena aamanooo aiyul fareeqaini khairum maqaamanw wa ahsanu nadiyyaa

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?"

وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنْ قَرْنٍ هُمْ اَحْسَنُ اَثَاثًا وَّرِﺋْﻴًﺎ ۟

Wa kam ahlaknaa qablahum min qarnin hum ahsanu asaasanw wa ri'yaa

But how many (countless) generations before them have we destroyed, who were even better in equipment and in glitter to the eye?

قُلْ مَنْ كَانَ فِی الضَّلٰلَةِ فَلْیَمْدُدْ لَهُ الرَّحْمٰنُ مَدًّا حَتّٰۤی اِذَا رَاَوْا مَا یُوْعَدُوْنَ اِمَّا الْعَذَابَ وَاِمَّا السَّاعَةَ فَسَیَعْلَمُوْنَ مَنْ هُوَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَّاَضْعَفُ جُنْدًا ۟

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!

وَیَزِیْدُ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ اهْتَدَوْا هُدًی وَالْبٰقِیٰتُ الصّٰلِحٰتُ خَیْرٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَّخَیْرٌ مَّرَدًّا ۟

Wa yazeedul laahul lazeenah tadaw hudaa; wal baaqiyaatus saalihaatu khairun 'inda Rabbika sawaabanw wa khairum maraddaa

"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."

اَفَرَءَیْتَ الَّذِیْ كَفَرَ بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَقَالَ لَاُوْتَیَنَّ مَالًا وَّوَلَدًا ۟

Afara'aytal lazee kafara bi Aayaatinaa wa qaala la oota yanna maalanw wa waladaa

Hast thou then seen the (sort of) man who rejects Our Signs, yet says: "I shall certainly be given wealth and children?"

اَطَّلَعَ الْغَیْبَ اَمِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمٰنِ عَهْدًا ۟

At tala'al ghaiba 'amit takhaza 'indar Rahmaani 'ahdaa

Has he penetrated to the Unseen, or has he taken a contract with (Allah) Most Gracious?

كَلَّا سَنَكْتُبُ مَا یَقُوْلُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهٗ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ مَدًّا ۟

Kallaa; sanaktubu maa yaqoolu wa namuddu lahoo minal 'azaabi maddaa

Nay! We shall record what he says, and We shall add and add to his punishment.

وَّنَرِثُهٗ مَا یَقُوْلُ وَیَاْتِیْنَا فَرْدًا ۟

Wa narisuhoo maa yaqoolu wa ya'teenaa fardaa

To Us shall return all that he talks of and he shall appear before Us bare and alone.

وَاتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اٰلِهَةً لِّیَكُوْنُوْا لَهُمْ عِزًّا ۟

Wattakhazoo min doonil laahi aalihatal liyakoonoo lahum 'izzaa

And they have taken (for worship) gods other than Allah, to give them power and glory!

كَلَّا سَیَكْفُرُوْنَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ وَیَكُوْنُوْنَ عَلَیْهِمْ ضِدًّا 

Kallaa; sa yakfuroona bi'ibaadatihim wa yakoonoona 'alaihim diddaa

Instead, they shall reject their worship, and become adversaries against them.

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّاۤ اَرْسَلْنَا الشَّیٰطِیْنَ عَلَی الْكٰفِرِیْنَ تَؤُزُّهُمْ اَزًّا ۟

Alam tara annaaa arsalnash Shayaateena 'alal kaafireena ta'uzzuhum azzaa

Seest thou not that We have set the Evil Ones on against the unbelievers, to incite them with fury?

فَلَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَیْهِمْ اِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمْ عَدًّا ۟

Falaa ta'jal alaihim innamaa na 'uddu lahum 'addaa

So make no haste against them, for We but count out to them a (limited) number (of days).

یَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ الْمُتَّقِیْنَ اِلَی الرَّحْمٰنِ وَفْدًا ۟

Yawma nahshurul muttaqeena ilar Rahmaani wafdaa

The day We shall gather the righteous to (Allah) Most Gracious, like a band presented before a king for honours,

وَّنَسُوْقُ الْمُجْرِمِیْنَ اِلٰی جَهَنَّمَ وِرْدًا ۟

Wa nasooqul mujrimeena ilaa Jahannama wirdaa

And We shall drive the sinners to Hell, like thirsty cattle driven down to water,-

لَا یَمْلِكُوْنَ الشَّفَاعَةَ اِلَّا مَنِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمٰنِ عَهْدًا ۟

Laa yamlikoonash shafaa'ata illaa manittakhaza 'indar Rahmaani 'ahdaa

None shall have the power of intercession, but such a one as has received permission (or promise) from (Allah) Most Gracious.

وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمٰنُ وَلَدًا ۟

Wa qaalut takhazar Rahmaanu waladaa

They say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!"

لَقَدْ جِئْتُمْ شَیْـًٔا اِدًّا ۟

Laqad ji'tum shai'an iddaa

Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous!

تَكَادُ السَّمٰوٰتُ یَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنْشَقُّ الْاَرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ الْجِبَالُ هَدًّا ۟

Takaadus samaawaatu yatafattarna minhu wa tanshaq qul ardu wa takhirrul jibaalu haddaa

At it the skies are ready to burst, the earth to split asunder, and the mountains to fall down in utter ruin,

اَنْ دَعَوْا لِلرَّحْمٰنِ وَلَدًا ۟

An da'aw lir Rahmaani waladaa

That they should invoke a son for (Allah) Most Gracious.

وَمَا یَنْۢبَغِیْ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ اَنْ یَّتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا ۟

Wa maa yambaghee lir Rahmaani ai yattakhiza waladaa

For it is not consonant with the majesty of (Allah) Most Gracious that He should beget a son.

Not one of the beings in the heavens and the earth but must come to (Allah) Most Gracious as a servant.

لَقَدْ اَحْصٰىهُمْ وَعَدَّهُمْ عَدًّا ۟

Laqad ahsaahum wa addahum 'addaa

He does take an account of them (all), and hath numbered them (all) exactly.

وَكُلُّهُمْ اٰتِیْهِ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ فَرْدًا ۟

And everyone of them will come to Him singly on the Day of Judgment.

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ سَیَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ الرَّحْمٰنُ وُدًّا ۟

Innal lazeena aamanoo wa 'amilus saalihaati sa yaj'alu lahumur Rahmaanu wuddaa

On those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, will (Allah) Most Gracious bestow love.

فَاِنَّمَا یَسَّرْنٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ الْمُتَّقِیْنَ وَتُنْذِرَ بِهٖ قَوْمًا لُّدًّا ۟

Fa innamaa yassarnaahu bilisaanika litubashshira bihil muttaqeena wa tunzira bihee qawmal luddaa

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.

وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنْ قَرْنٍ هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُمْ مِّنْ اَحَدٍ اَوْ تَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ رِكْزًا 

Wa kam ahlaknaa qabla hum min qarnin hal tuhissu minhum min ahadin aw tasma'u lahum rikzaa

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?
