Kaaaf-Haa-Yaa-'Ayyyn-Saaad

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

Zikru rahmati Rabbika 'abdahoo Zakariyya

When he called to his Lord a private supplication.

Iz naadaa Rabbahoo nidaaa'an khafiyyaa

He said, "My Lord, indeed my bones have weakened, and my head has filled with white, and never have I been in my supplication to You, my Lord, unhappy.

Qaala Rabbi innee wahanal'azmu minnee washta'alar raasu shaibanw wa lam akum bidu'aaa'ika Rabbi shaqiyyaa

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

Wa innee khiftul mawaa liya minw waraaa'ee wa kaana tim ra atee 'aairan fahab lee mil ladunka waliyyaa

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

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

[He was told], "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."

Yaa Zakariyyaaa innaa nubashshiruka bighulaami nismuhoo Yahyaa lam naj'al lahoo min qablu samiyyaa

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

Qaala Rabbi annaa yakoonu lee ghulaamunw wa kaanatim ra atee aaqiranw wa qad balaghtu minal kibari 'itiyyaa

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

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

[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."

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

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

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

[Allah] said, "O John, take the Scripture with determination." And We gave him judgement [while yet] a boy

Yaa Yahyaa khuzil Kitaaba biquwwatinw wa aatainaahul hukma saiyyaa

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

Wa hanaanam mil ladunnaa wa zakaatanw wa kaana taqiyyaa

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

Wa barram biwaalidayhi wa lam yakum jabbaaran 'asiyyaa

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

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

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

Wazkur fil Kitaabi Marya; izin tabazat min ahlihaa makaanan shariqyyaa

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

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

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

Qaalat inneee a'oozu bir Rahmaani minka in kunta taqiyyaa

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

Qaala innamaa ana rasoolu Rabbiki li ahaba laki ghulaaman zakiyyaa

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

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

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.' "

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

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

Fahamalat hu fantabazat bihee makaanan qasiyyaa

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."

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

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

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

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

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

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.' "

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

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

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

O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste."

Yaaa ukkhta Haaroona maa kaana abokim ra-a saw'inw wa maa kaanat ummuki baghiyyaa

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

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

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

Qaala innee 'abdullaahi aataaniyal Kitaaba wa ja'alanee Nabiyyaa

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

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

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

Wa barram biwaalidatee wa lam yaj'alnee jabbaaran shaqiyyaa

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

Wassalaamu 'alaiya yawma wulittu wa yawma amootu wa yawma ub'asu baiyaa

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

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

It 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Asmi' bihim wa absir Yawma yaatoonanaa laakiniz zaalimoonal yawma fee dalaalim mubeen

And 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.

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

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

Innaa NNahnu narisul arda wa man 'alaihaa wa ilainaa yurja'oon

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

Wazkur fil Kitaabi Ibraaheem; innahoo kaana siddeeqan Nabiyyaa

[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?

Iz qaala li abeehi yaaa abati lima ta'budu maa laa yasma'u wa laa yubsiru wa laa yughnee 'anka shai'aa

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.

Yaaa abati innee qad jaaa'anee minal 'ilmi maa lam yaatika fattabi'neee ahdika siraatan Sawiyyaa

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

Yaaa abati laa ta'budish Shaitaana innash Shaitaana kaana lir Rahmaani 'asiyyaa

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]."

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

[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."

Qaala araaghibun anta 'an aalihatee yaaa Ibraaheemu la 'il lam tantahi la arjumannaka wahjumee maliyyaa

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

Qaala salaamun 'alaika sa astaghfiru laka Rabbeee innahoo kaana bee hafiyyaa

And 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."

Wa a'tazilukum wa maa tad'oona min doonil laahi wa ad'o Rabbee 'asaaa allaaa akoona bidu'aaa'i Rabbee shaqiyyaa

So 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.

Falamma' tazalahum wa maa ya'budoona min doonil laahi wahabnaa lahoo is-haaqa wa ya'qoob, wa kullan ja'alnaa Nabiyyaa

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

Wa wahabnaa lahum mirrahmatinaa wa ja'alnaa lahum lisaana sidqin 'aliyyaa

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

Wazkur fil Kitaabi Moosaaa; innahoo kaana mukhlasanw wa kaana Rasoolan Nabiyyaa

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

Wa naadainaahu min jaanibit Tooril aimani wa qarrabnaahu najiyyaa

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

Wa wahabnaa lahoo mir rahmatinaaa akhaahu Haaroona Nabiyyaa

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

Wazkur fil Kitaabi ismaa'eel; innahoo kaana saadiqal wa'di wa kaana Rasoolan Nabiyyaa

And he used to enjoin on his people prayer and zakah and was to his Lord pleasing.

Wa kaana yaamuru ahlahoo bis Salaati waz zakaati wa kaana 'inda Rabbihee mardiyyaa

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

Wazkur fil Kitaabi Idrees; innahoo kaana siddeeqan Nabiyyaa

And We raised him to a high station.

Wa rafa'naahu makaanan 'aliyyaa

Those 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.

Ulaaa'ikal lazeena an'amal laahu 'alaihim minan Nabiyyeena min zurriyyati Aadama wa mimman hamalnaa ma'a Noohinw wa min zurriyyati Ibraaheema wa Israaa'eela wa mimman hadainaa wajta bainaaa; izaa tutlaa 'alaihim Aayaatur Rahmaani kharroo sujjadanw wa bukiyyaa

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

Fakhalafa mim ba'dihim khalfun adaa'us Salaata wattaba'ush shahawaati fasawfa yalqawna ghaiyaa

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tilkal jannatul latee oorisu min 'ibaadinaa man kaana taqiyyaa

[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 -

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

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?"

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

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

Wa yaqoolul insaanu 'aizaa maa mittu lasawfa ukhraju haiyaa

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

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

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.

Fawa Rabbika lanahshu rannahum wash shayaateena summa lanuhdirannahum hawla jahannama jisiyyaa

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

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

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

Summa lanahnu a'lamu billazeena hum awlaa bihaa siliyyaa

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

Wa im minkum illaa waa riduhaa; kaana 'alaa Rabbika hatmam maqdiyyaa

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

Summa nunajjil lazeenat taqaw wa nazaruz zaalimeena feehaa jisiyyaa

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?"

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

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

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

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."

Qul man kaana fidda laalati falyamdud lahur Rahmaanu maddaa; hattaaa izaa ra aw maa yoo'adoona immal 'azaaba wa immas Saa'ata fasa ya'lamoona man huwa sharrum makaananw wa ad'afu jundaa

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

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

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

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

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

Attala'al ghaiba amitta khaza'indar Rahmaani 'ahdaa

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

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

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

Wa narisuhoo maa yaqoolu wa yaateenaa fardaa

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

Wattakhazoo min doonil laahi aalihatal liyakoonoo lahum 'izzaa

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yawma nahshurul muttaqeena ilar Rahmaani wafdaa

And will drive the criminals to Hell in thirst

Wa nasooqul mujrimeena ilaa Jahannama wirdaa

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

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

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

Wa qaalut takhazar Rahmaanu waladaa

You have done an atrocious thing.

Laqad ji'tum shai'an iddaa

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

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

That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son.

An da'aw lir Rahmaani waladaa

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

Wa maa yambaghee lir Rahmaani ai yattakhiza waladaa

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

In kullu man fis samaawaati wal ardi illaaa aatir Rahmaani 'abdaa

He has enumerated them and counted them a [full] counting.

Laqad ahsaahum wa addahum 'addaa

And all of them are coming to Him on the Day of Resurrection alone.

Wa kulluhum aateehi Yawmal Qiyaamati fardaa

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

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

So, [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.

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

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

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