The quran translated

19. Maryam: Mary

In the Name of God, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

19:1 Kaf. Ha. Ya. Ain. Sad.

19:2-6 A mention of the mercy of your Lord to His servant Zachariah. When he cried to his Lord, a cry in secret, saying: My Lord! Lo! The bones of me wax feeble and my head is shining with grey hair, and I have never been unblessed in prayer to You, my Lord. Lo! I fear my kinsfolk after me, since my wife is barren. Oh, give me from You a successor, who shall inherit of me and inherit (also) of the house of Jacob. And make him, my Lord, acceptable (to You).

19:7-9 (It was said to him): O Zachariah! Lo! We bring you tidings of a son whose name is John; We have given the same name to none before (him). He said: My Lord! How can I have a son when my wife is barren and I have reached infirm old age? He said: So (it will be). Your Lord says: It is easy for Me, even as I created you before, when you were nothing.

19:10-11 He said: My Lord! Appoint for me some sign. He said: Your sign is that you, with no bodily defect, shall not speak to people three nights. Then he came forth to his people from the sanctuary, and signified to them: Glorify your Lord at break of day and fall of night.

19:12-15 (And it was said to his son): O John! Hold the Scripture. And We gave him wisdom when he was only a child. And compassion from Us, and purity; and he was devout, and dutiful toward his parents. And he was not arrogant, rebellious. Peace on him the day he was born, and the day he dies and the day he shall be raised alive!

19:16-21 And make mention of Mary in the Scripture, when she had withdrawn from her people to a chamber looking east, and had chosen seclusion from them. Then We sent to her Our spirit and it assumed for her the likeness of a perfect man. She said: Lo! I seek refuge in the Beneficent One from you, if you are God fearing. He said: I am only a messenger of your Lord that I may bestow on you a faultless son. She said: How can I have a son when no mortal has touched me, neither have I been unchaste! He said: So (it will be). Your Lord says: It is easy for Me. And (it will be) that We may make of him a revelation for people and a mercy from Us, and it is a thing ordained.

19:22-26 And she, conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a place. And the pangs of childbirth drove her to the trunk of the palm tree. She said: Oh, would that I had died ere this and had become a thing of nonexistence, forgotten! Then (one) cried to her from below her, saying: Grieve not! Your Lord has placed a rivulet beneath you, and shake the trunk of the palm tree toward you, you will cause ripe dates to fall upon you. So eat and drink and be consoled. And if you meet any mortal, say: Lo! I have vowed a fast to the Beneficent, and may not speak this day to any mortal.

19:27-33 Then she brought him to her own folk, carrying him. They said: O Mary! You have come with an amazing thing. Oh sister of Aaron! Your father was not a wicked man nor was your mother a harlot. Then she pointed to him. They said: How can we talk to one who is in the cradle, a young boy? He spoke: Lo! I am the slave of God. He has given me the Scripture and has appointed me a Prophet, and has made me blessed wherever I may be, and has enjoined upon me prayer and almsgiving so long as I remain alive, and (has made me) dutiful toward her who bore me, and has not made me arrogant, unblessed. Peace on me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive!

19:34 Such was Jesus, son of Mary: (this is) a statement of the truth concerning which they doubt.

19:35-36 It befits not (the Majesty of) God that He should take to Himself a son. Glory be to Him! When He decrees a thing, He says to it only: Be! And it is. And lo! God is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him. That is the right path.

19:37-40 The sects among them differ: but woe to the disbelievers from the meeting of an Awful Day. See and hear them on the Day they come to Us! Yet the evildoers are today in error manifest. And warn them of the Day of anguish when the case has been decided. Now they are in a state of carelessness, and they believe not. Lo! We inherit the earth and all who are thereon, and to Us they are returned.

19:41-50 And make mention (O Muhammad) in the Scripture of Abraham. Lo! He was sure of faith, a Prophet. When he said to his father: O my father! Why do you worship that which neither hears, not nor sees, nor can avail you in anything? O my father! Lo! There has come to me of knowledge that which came not to you. So follow me, and I will lead you on a right path. O my father! Worship not Satan. Lo! Satan is a rebel to the Beneficent. O my father! Lo! I fear lest a punishment from the Beneficent should overtake you so that you become a comrade of Satan. He said: Reject you my gods, O Abraham? If you cease not, I shall surely stone you. Depart from me a long while! He said: Peace be to you! I shall ask forgiveness of my Lord for you. Lo! He is ever gracious to me. I shall withdraw from you and that to which you pray beside God, and I shall pray to my Lord. It may be that, in prayer to my Lord, I shall not be unblessed. So, when he had withdrawn from them and that which they were worshipping beside God. We gave him Isaac and Jacob. Each of them We made a Prophet. And We gave them of Our mercy, and bestowed upon them lofty and true praise.

19:51-53 And make mention in the Scripture of Moses. Lo! He was chosen, and he was a Messenger (of God), a Prophet. We called him from the right slope of the Mount, and brought him near in communion. And We bestowed upon him of Our mercy his brother Aaron, a Prophet (likewise).

19:54-55 And make mention in the Scripture of Ishmael. Lo! He was a keeper of his promise, and he was a Messenger, (of God) a Prophet. He enjoined upon his people worship and almsgiving, and was acceptable in the sight of his Lord.

19:56-57 And make mention in the Scripture of Idris. Lo! He was a sure of faith, a Prophet; and We raised him to high station.

19:58 These are they to whom God showed favor from among the Prophets, of the seed of Adam and of those whom We carried (in the ship) with Noah, and of the seed of Abraham and Israel, and from among those whom We guided and chose. When the revelations of the Beneficent were recited to them, they fell down, adoring and weeping.

19:59-63 Now there has succeeded them a later generation who have ruined worship and have followed lusts. But they will meet deception. Except him who shall repent and believe and do right. Such will enter the Garden and they will not be wronged in anything. Gardens of Eden, which the Beneficent has promised to His slaves in the Unseen. Lo! His promise is ever sure of fulfillment – They hear therein no idle talk, but only Peace; and therein they have food for morn and evening. Such is the Garden, which We cause the devout among Our bondmen to inherit.

19:64-65 We (angels) come not down except by commandment of your Lord. To Him belongs all that is before us and all that is behind us and all that is between those two, and your Lord was never forgetful – Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them! Therefore, worship Him and be patient in His worship. Know you one that can be named along with Him?

19:66-67 And man says: When I am dead, shall I forsooth be brought forth alive? Does not man remember that We created him before, when he was nothing?

19:68-70 And, by your Lord, verily We shall assemble them and the satans, then We shall bring them, crouching, around Hell. Then We shall pluck out from every sect whichever of them was most stern in rebellion to the Beneficent. And surely We are Best Aware of those most worthy to be burned therein.

19:71-72 There is not one of you but shall approach it. That is a fixed ordinance of your Lord. Then We shall rescue those who kept from evil, and leave the evildoers crouching there.

19:73-75 And when Our clear revelations are recited to them those who disbelieve say to those who believe: Which of the two parties (yours or ours) is better in position, and more imposing as an army? How many a generation have We destroyed before them, who were more imposing in respect of gear and outward seeming! Say: As for him who is in error, the Beneficent will verily prolong his span of life until, when they behold that which they were promised, whether it be punishment (in the world), or the Hour (of Judgment), they will know who is worse in position and who is weaker as, an army.

19:76 God increases in right guidance those who walk aright, and the good deeds, which endure are better in your Lord's sight for reward, and better for resort.

19:77-80 Have you seen him who disbelieves in Our revelations and says: Assuredly I shall be given wealth and children! Has he perused the Unseen, or has he made a pact with the Beneficent? Nay, but We shall record that which he says and prolong for him a span of torment. And We shall inherit from him that whereof he spoke, and he will come to Us, alone (without his wealth and children).

19:81-84 And they have chosen (other) gods beside God that they may be a power for them. Nay, but they will deny their worship of them, and become opponents to them. See you not that We have sent the satans on the disbelievers to confound them with confusion? So make no haste against them (O Muhammad). We do but number to them a sum (of days).

19:85-87 On the Day when We shall gather the righteous to the Beneficent, a goodly company. And drive the guilty to Hell, a weary herd; they will have no power of intercession, except him who has made a covenant with his Lord.

19:88-92 And they say: The Beneficent has taken to Himself a son. Assuredly you utter a disastrous thing, whereby the heavens are almost torn, and the earth is split asunder and the mountains fall in ruins, that you ascribe to the Beneficent a son, when it is not appropriate for (the Majesty of) the Beneficent that He should choose a son.

19:93-96 There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes to the Beneficent as a slave. Verily He knows them and numbers them with (right) numbering. And each one of them will come to Him on the Day of Resurrection, alone. Lo! Those who believe and do good works, the Beneficent will appoint for them love.

19:97 And We make (this Scripture) easy on your tongue, (O Muhammad) only that you may bear good tidings therewith to those who are pious, and warn therewith the froward folk. 19:98 And how many a generation before them have We destroyed! Can you (O Muhammad) see a single man of them, or hear from them the slightest sound?

20. Ta-Ha

In the Name of God, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

20:1-5 Ta. Ha. We have not revealed to you (O Muhammad) this Quran that you should be distressed, but as a reminder to him who fears, a revelation from Him Who created the earth and the high heavens , the Beneficent One, Who is established on the Throne.

20:6-8 To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth, and whatever is between them, and whatever is beneath the sod. And if you speak aloud, then Lo! He knows the secret (thought) and (that which is yet) more hidden. God! None should be worshipped but God alone. His are the most beautiful names.

20:9-14 Has there come to you the story of Moses? When he saw a fire and said to his folk: Wait! I see a fire far off. Perhaps I may bring you a brand from there, or may find guidance at the fire. And when he reached it, he was called by name: O Moses! Lo! I indeed am your Lord. So take off your shoes, for Lo! You are in the holy valley of Tuwa. And I have chosen you, so hearken to that which is inspired. Lo! Indeed I am God. None should be worshipped but Me. So worship Me and establish worship for My remembrance.

20:15-16 Lo! The Hour is surely coming. But I will, to keep it hidden, that every soul may be rewarded for that which it strives (to achieve). Therefore, let not him turn you aside from (the thought of) it who believes not therein but follows his own desire, lest you perish.

20:17-24 And what is that in your right hand, O Moses? He said: This is my staff whereon I lean, and wherewith I beat down branches for my sheep, and wherein I find other uses. He said: Cast it down, O Moses! So he cast it down, and Lo! It was a serpent, gliding. He said: Grasp it and fear not. We shall return it to its former state. And thrust your hand within your armpit, it will come forth white without hurt, (that will be) another sign. That We may show you (some) of Our greater signs, go you to Pharaoh! Lo! He has transgressed (the bounds).

20:25-35 (Moses) said: My Lord! Open my chest, and ease my task for me; and loose a knot from my tongue, that they may understand my saying. Appoint for me a henchman from my folk, Aaron, my brother. Confirm my strength with him. And let him share my task, that we may glorify You much. And much remember You. Lo! You are ever Seeing us.

20:36-37 He said: You are granted your request, O Moses. And indeed, another time, already We have shown you favor:

20:38-39 When We inspired in your mother that which is inspired, saying: Throw him into the ark, and throw it into the river, then the rivers hall throw it onto the bank, and there an enemy to Me and an enemy to him shall take him. And I endued you with love from Me that you might be trained according to My will.

20:40-41 When your sister went and said: Shall I show you one who will nurse him? And We restored you to your mother that her eyes might be refreshed and might not sorrow. And you did kill a man and We delivered you from great distress, and tried you with a heavy trial. And you did tarry years among the folk of Midian. Then come you (hither) by (My) providence, O Moses, and I have attached you to Myself.

20:42-44 Go, you and your brother, with My signs, and be not faint in remembrance of Me. Go, both of you, to Pharaoh. Lo! He has transgressed (the bounds). And speak to him a gentle word that perhaps he may heed or fear.

20:45 They said: Our Lord! Lo! We fear that he may be beforehand with us or that he may play the tyrant. 20:46-48 He said: Fear not. Lo! I am with you twain, Hearing and Seeing. So go you to him and say: Lo! We are two Messengers of your Lord. So let the Children of Israel go with us, and torment them not. We bring you a sign from your Lord. And peace will be for him who follows right guidance. Lo! It has been revealed to us that the punishment will be for him who denies and turns away.

20:49-54 (Pharaoh) said: Who then is the Lord of you twain, O Moses? He said: Our Lord is He Who gave to everything its nature, and then guided it aright. He said: What then is the state of the generations of old? He said: The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a Record. My Lord neither errs nor forgets. Who has appointed the earth as a bed and has threaded roads for you therein and has sent down water from the sky and thereby We have brought forth diverse kinds of vegetation, (saying): Eat you and feed your cattle. Lo! Herein verily are signs for those endowed with understanding.

20:55-56 Thereof We created you, and thereto we return you and then We bring you forth a second time. And We verily did show him all Our signs, but he denied them and refused.

20:57-59 He said: Have you come to drive us out from our land by your magic, O Moses? But we surely can produce magic the like thereof; so appoint a meeting between us and you, which neither we nor you shall fail to keep, at a place convenient (to us both). (Moses) said: Your meeting shall be on the day of the feast, and let the people assemble when the sun has risen high.

20:60-61 Then Pharaoh went and gathered his strength, then came (to the appointed meeting). Moses said to them: Woe to you! Invent not a lie against God, lest He extirpate you by some punishment. He who lies fails miserably.

20:62-64 Then they debated one with another what they must do, and they kept their counsel secret. They said: Lo! These are two wizards who would drive you out from your country by their magic, and destroy your best traditions; so arrange your plan, and come in battle line. Whoever is uppermost this day will be indeed successful.

20:65-67 They said: O Moses! Either throw first, or let us be the first to throw? He said: Nay, do you throw! Then Lo! Their cords and their staves, by their magic, appeared to him as though they ran. And Moses conceived a fear in his mind.

20:68-70 We said: Fear not! Lo! You are the higher. Throw that which is in your right hand! It will eat up that which they have made. Lo! That which they have made is but a wizard's artifice, and a wizard shall not be successful to whatever point (of skill) he may attain. Then the wizards were (all) flung down prostrate, crying: We believe in the Lord of Aaron and Moses.

20:71 (Pharaoh) said: You put faith in him before I give you leave. Lo! He is your chief who taught you magic. Now surely I shall cut off your hands and your feet alternately, and I shall crucify you on the trunks of palm trees, and you shall know for certain, which of us has a sterner and more lasting punishment.

20:72-73 They said: We choose you not above the clear proofs that have come to us, and above Him Who created us. So decree what you will decree. You will end for us only the life of the world. Lo! We believe in our Lord, that He may forgive us our sins and the magic to which you did force us. God is better and more lasting.

20:74-76 Lo! Whoever comes guilty to his Lord, verily for him is Hell. There he will neither die nor live. But whoever comes to Him a believer, having done good works, for such are the high stations; Gardens of Eden underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. That is the reward of them who purify themselves.

20:77-79 And verily We inspired Moses, saying: Take away My slaves by night and strike for them a dry path in the sea, fearing not to be overtaken, neither being afraid (of the sea). Then Pharaoh followed with his hosts and there covered them that which did cover them of the sea. And Pharaoh, led his folk astray, he did not guide them.

20:80-82 O Children of Israel! We delivered you from your enemy, and We made a covenant with you on the holy mountain's side, and sent down on you the manna and the quails (saying): Eat of the good things wherewith We have provided you, and transgress not in respect thereof lest My wrath come upon you; and he on whom My wrath comes, he is lost indeed. And lo! Verily I am Forgiving toward him who repents and believes and does good, and afterward walks aright.

20:83-85 And (it was said): What has made you hasten from your folk, O Moses? He said: They are close upon my track. I hastened to You that You might be well pleased. He said: Lo! We have tried your folk in your absence, and As-Samiri has misled you.

20:86 Then Moses went back to his folk, angry and sad. He said: O my people! Has not your Lord promised you a fair promise? Did the time appointed then appear too long for you, or did you wish that wrath from your Lord should come upon you, that you broke promise with me?

20:87 They said: We broke not promise with you of our own will, but we were laden with burdens of ornaments of the folk, and then cast them (in the fire), for thus As-Samiri proposed.

20:88-89 Then he produced for them a calf, of saffron hue, which gave forth a lowing sound. And they cried: This is your God and the God of Moses, but he has forgotten. See they not, that it returns no saying to them, and possesses for them neither hurt nor use?

20:90-91 And Aaron indeed had told them beforehand: O my people! You are but being seduced therewith, for lo! Your Lord is the Beneficent, so follow me and obey my order. They said: We shall by no means cease to be its votaries till Moses returns to us.

20:92-94 He (Moses) said: O Aaron! What held you back when you did see them gone astray, that you followed me not? Have you then disobeyed my order? He said: O son of my mother! Clutch not my beard nor my head! I feared lest you should say: You have caused division among the Children of Israel, and have not waited for my word.

20:95-96 (Moses) said: And what has you to say, O Samiri? He said: I perceived what they perceive not, so I seized a handful from the footsteps of the messenger, and then threw it in. Thus my soul commended to me. 20:97 (Moses) said: Then go! And lo! In this life it is for you to say: Touch me not! And lo! There is for you a promise you cannot break. Now look upon your god of which you have remained a votary. Verily we will burn it and will scatter its dust over the sea.

20:98 Your God is only God, either than Whom there is no other God He embraces all things in His knowledge.

20:99-101 Thus relate We to you (Muhammad) some tidings of that which happened of old, and We have given you from Us a Reminder. Whoever turns away from it, he verily will bear a burden on the Day of Resurrection, abiding under it – an evil burden for them on the Day of Resurrection.

20:102-104 The Day when the Trumpet is blown. On that Day we assemble the guilty white-eyed (with terror), murmuring among themselves: You have tarried but ten (days). We are best aware of what they utter when their best in conduct say: You have tarried but a day.

20:105-107 They will ask you of the mountains (on that Day). Say: My Lord will break them into scattered dust. And leave it as an empty plain, wherein you see neither curve nor ruggedness.

20:108-111 On that Day they follow the summoner that deceives not, and voices are hushed for the Beneficent, and you hear but a faint murmur. On that Day no intercession avails except (that of) him to whom the Beneficent has given leave and whose word He accepts. He knows (all) that is before them and (all) that is behind them, while they cannot compass it in knowledge. And faces humble themselves, before the Living, the Eternal. And he who bears (a burden of) wrongdoing is indeed a failure (on that Day).

20:112-113 And he who has done some good works, being a believer, he fears neither injustice nor begrudging (of his wage). Thus We have revealed it as a lecture in Arabic, and have displayed therein certain threats, that perhaps they may fear (God) or that it may cause them to take heed.

20:114 Then exalted be God, the True King! And hasten not (O Muhammad) with the Quran ere its revelation has been perfected to you, and say: My Lord! Increase me in knowledge.

20:115-121 And verily We made a covenant of old with Adam, but he forgot, and We found no constancy in him. And when We said to the angels: Fall prostrate before Adam, they fell prostrate (all) except Iblis; he refused. Therefore We said: O Adam! This is an enemy to you and to your wife, so let him not drive you both out of the Garden so that you come to toil. It is (given) to you that you hunger not therein nor are naked, and you thirst not therein nor are exposed to the sun's heat. But Satan whispered to him, saying: O Adam! Shall I show you the tree of immortality and power that wastes not away? Then they twain ate thereof, so that their shame became apparent to them, and they began to hide by heaping on themselves some of the leaves of the Garden. And Adam disobeyed his Lord, and went astray.

20:122-123 Then his Lord chose him, and forgave him, and guided him. He said: Go down hence, both of you, one of you a foe to the other. But if there come to you from Me a guidance, then whoever follows My guidance, he will not go astray nor come to grief.

20:124-127 But he who turns away from remembrance of Me, his will be a narrow life, and I shall bring him blind to the assembly on the Day of Resurrection. He will say: My Lord! Wherefore have You gathered me (hither) blind, when I was wont to see? He will say: So (it must be). Our revelations came to you but you did forget them. In like manner you are forgotten this Day. Thus do We reward him who is prodigal and believes not the revelations of his Lord; and verily the punishment of the Hereafter will be sterner and more lasting. 20:128-129 Is it not a guidance for them (to know) how many a generation We destroyed before them, amid whose dwellings they walk? Lo! Therein verily are signs for those endowed with understanding. And but for a decree that had already gone forth from your Lord, and a term already fixed, the judgment would (have) been inevitable (in this world).

20:130-132 Therefore (O Muhammad), have patience with what they say, and celebrate the praises of your Lord ere the rising of the sun and ere the going down thereof. And glorify Him some hours of the night and at the two ends of the day, so that you may find acceptance. And strain not your eyes toward that which We cause some wedded pairs among them to enjoy, the flower of the life of the world, that We may try them thereby. The provision of your Lord is better and more lasting. And enjoin upon your people worship, and be constant therein. We ask not of you a provision: We provide for you.

And (the fruit of) the Hereafter is for righteousness.

20:133-134 And they say: If only he would bring us a miracle from his Lord! Has there not come to them the proof of what is in the former Scriptures? And if We had destroyed them with some punishment before it, they would assuredly have said: Our Lord! If only You had sent to us a Messenger, so that we might have followed Your revelations before we were (thus) humbled and disgraced!

20:135 Say: Each is waiting; so await you! You will come to know who are the owners of the path of equity, and who is right.
