Surah Maryam

وَٱتَّخَذُوا۟مِندُونِٱللَّهِءَالِهَةًۭلِّيَكُونُوا۟لَهُمْعِزًّۭا

For [such as] these have taken to worshipping deities other than God, hoping that they would be a [source of] strength for them.

كَلَّاسَيَكْفُرُونَبِعِبَادَتِهِمْوَيَكُونُونَعَلَيْهِمْضِدًّا

But nay! [On Judgment Day] these [very objects of adoration] will disavow the worship that was paid to them, and will turn against those [who had worshipped them]!

أَلَمْتَرَأَنَّآأَرْسَلْنَاٱلشَّيَٰطِينَعَلَىٱلْكَٰفِرِينَتَؤُزُّهُمْأَزًّۭا

ART THOU NOT aware that We have let loose all [manner of] satanic forces upon those who deny the truth - [forces] that impel them [towards sin] with strong impulsion?

فَلَاتَعْجَلْعَلَيْهِمْإِنَّمَانَعُدُّلَهُمْعَدًّۭا

Hence, be not in haste [to call down God's punishment] upon them: for We but number the number of their days.

يَوْمَنَحْشُرُٱلْمُتَّقِينَإِلَىٱلرَّحْمَٰنِوَفْدًۭا

On the Day when We shall gather the Godconscious unto [Us,] the Most Gracious, as honoured guests,

وَنَسُوقُٱلْمُجْرِمِينَإِلَىٰجَهَنَّمَوِرْدًۭا

and drive those who were lost in sin unto hell as a thirsty herd is driven to a well –

لَّايَمْلِكُونَٱلشَّفَٰعَةَإِلَّامَنِٱتَّخَذَعِندَٱلرَّحْمَٰنِعَهْدًۭا

[on that Day] none will have [the benefit of] intercession unless he has [in his lifetime] entered into a bond with the Most Gracious.

وَقَالُوا۟ٱتَّخَذَٱلرَّحْمَٰنُوَلَدًۭا

As it is, some assert, "The Most Gracious has taken unto Himself a son„!

لَّقَدْجِئْتُمْشَيْـًٔاإِدًّۭا

Indeed, [by this assertion] you have brought forth something monstrous,

تَكَادُٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُيَتَفَطَّرْنَمِنْهُوَتَنشَقُّٱلْأَرْضُوَتَخِرُّٱلْجِبَالُهَدًّا

whereat the heavens might well-nigh be rent into fragments, and the earth be split asunder, and the mountains fall down in ruins!

أَندَعَوْا۟لِلرَّحْمَٰنِوَلَدًۭا

That men. should ascribe a son to the Most Gracious,

وَمَايَنۢبَغِىلِلرَّحْمَٰنِأَنيَتَّخِذَوَلَدًا

although it is inconceivable that the Most Gracious should take unto Himself a son!

إِنكُلُّمَنفِىٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِوَٱلْأَرْضِإِلَّآءَاتِىٱلرَّحْمَٰنِعَبْدًۭا

Not one of all [the beings] that are in the heavens or on earth appears before the Most Gracious other than as a servant:

لَّقَدْأَحْصَىٰهُمْوَعَدَّهُمْعَدًّۭا

indeed, He has full cognizance of them, and has numbered them with [unfailing] numbering;

وَكُلُّهُمْءَاتِيهِيَوْمَٱلْقِيَٰمَةِفَرْدًا

and every one of them will appear before Him on Resurrection Day in a lonely state.

إِنَّٱلَّذِينَءَامَنُوا۟وَعَمِلُوا۟ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِسَيَجْعَلُلَهُمُٱلرَّحْمَٰنُوُدًّۭا

VERILY, those who attain to faith and do righteous deeds will the Most Gracious endow with love:

فَإِنَّمَايَسَّرْنَٰهُبِلِسَانِكَلِتُبَشِّرَبِهِٱلْمُتَّقِينَوَتُنذِرَبِهِۦقَوْمًۭالُّدًّۭا

and only to this end have We made this [divine writ] easy to understand, in thine own tongue, [O Prophet,] so that thou might convey thereby a glad tiding to the God-conscious, and warn thereby those who are given to [futile] contention:

وَكَمْأَهْلَكْنَاقَبْلَهُممِّنقَرْنٍهَلْتُحِسُّمِنْهُممِّنْأَحَدٍأَوْتَسْمَعُلَهُمْرِكْزًۢا

for, how many a generation have We destroyed before their time - [and] canst thou perceive any one of them [now], or hear any whisper of them?
