Maryam Mary
Chapter 19 Maryam 98 verses, Mecca

1. Kaf HaYaAeenSad. (These letters are one of the miracles of the Quran, and none but Allah
(Alone) knows their meanings).
2. (This is) a mention of the mercy of your Lord to His slave Zakariya (Zachariah).
3. When he called out his Lord (Allah) a call in secret,
4. Saying: "My Lord! Indeed my bones have grown feeble, and grey hair has spread on my head,
And I have never been unblest in my invocation to You, O my Lord!
5. "And Verily! I fear my relatives after me, since my wife is barren. So give me from Yourself an
heir,
6. "Who shall inherit me, and inherit (also) the posterity of Yaqoob (Jacob) (inheritance of the
religious knowledge and Prophethood, not the wealth, etc.). And make him, my Lord, one with
whom You are Well-pleased!".
7. (Allah said) "O Zakariya (Zachariah)! Verily, We give you the glad tidings of a son, His name will
be Yahya (John). We have given that name to none before (him)."
8. He said: "My Lord! How can I have a son, when my wife is barren, and I have reached the
extreme old age."
9. He said: "So (it will be). Your Lord says; It is easy for Me. Certainly I have created you before,
when you had been nothing!"
10. (Zakariya (Zachariah)) said: "My Lord! Appoint for me a sign." He said: "Your sign is that you
shall not speak unto mankind for three nights, though having no bodily defect."
11. Then he came out to his people from Al-Mihrab (a praying place or a private room, etc.), he told
them by signs to glorify Allahs Praises in the morning and in the afternoon.
12. (It was said to his son): "O Yahya (John)! Hold fast the Scripture (the Taurat (Torah))." And We
gave him wisdom while yet a child.
13. And (made him) sympathetic to men as a mercy (or a grant) from Us, and pure from sins (i.e.
Yahya (John)) and he was righteous,
14. And dutiful towards his parents, and he was neither an arrogant nor disobedient (to Allah or to
his parents).
15. And Salamun (peace) be on him the day he was born, the day he dies, and the day he will be
raised up to life (again)!
16. And mention in the Book (the Quran, O Muhammad SAW , the story of) Maryam (Mary), when
she withdrew in seclusion from her family to a place facing east.
17. She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent to her Our Ruh (angel Jibrael
(Gabriel)), and he appeared before her in the form of a man in all respects.
18. She said: "Verily! I seek refuge with the Most Beneficent (Allah) from you, if you do fear
Allah."
19. (The angel) said: "I am only a Messenger from your Lord, (to announce) to you the gift of a
righteous son."
20. She said: "How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, nor am I unchaste?"
21. He said: "So (it will be), your Lord said: That is easy for Me (Allah): And (We wish) to appoint
him as a sign to mankind and a mercy from Us (Allah), and it is a matter (already) decreed, (by
Allah). "
22. So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a far place (i.e. Bethlehem valley about 4-6
miles from Jerusalem).
23. And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a date-palm. She said: "Would that I had
died before this, and had been forgotten and out of sight!"
24. Then (the babe Iesa (Jesus) or Jibrael (Gabriel)) cried unto her from below her, saying: "Grieve
not! Your Lord has provided a water stream under you;
25. "And shake the trunk of date-palm towards you, it will let fall fresh ripe-dates upon you."
26. "So eat and drink and be glad, and if you see any human being, say: Verily! I have vowed a fast
unto the Most Beneficent (Allah) so I shall not speak to any human being this day."
27. Then she brought him (the baby) to her people, carrying him. They said: "O Mary! Indeed you
have brought a thing Fariya (an unheard mighty thing).
28. "O sister (i.e. the like) of Haroon (Aaron) (not the brother of Moosa (Moses), but he was another
pious man at the time of Maryam (Mary))! Your father was not a man who used to commit adultery,
nor your mother was an unchaste woman."
29. Then she pointed to him. They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?"
30. "He (Iesa (Jesus)) said: Verily! I am a slave of Allah, He has given me the Scripture and made
me a Prophet;"
31. "And He has made me blessed wheresoever I be, and has enjoined on me Salat (prayer), and
Zakat, as long as I live."
32. "And dutiful to my mother, and made me not arrogant, unblest.
33. "And Salam (peace) be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be
raised alive!"
34. Such is Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary). (it is) a statement of truth, about which they doubt
(or dispute).
35. It befits not (the Majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son (this refers to the slander of
Christians against Allah, by saying that Iesa (Jesus) is the son of Allah). Glorified (and Exalted be
He above all that they associate with Him). When He decrees a thing, He only says to it, "Be!" and it
is.
36. (Iesa (Jesus) said): "And verily Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him (Alone). That
is the Straight Path. (Allahs Religion of Islamic Monotheism which He did ordain for all of His
Prophets)." (Tafsir At-Tabaree)
37. Then the sects differed (i.e. the Christians about Iesa (Jesus) ), so woe unto the disbelievers
(those who gave false witness by saying that Iesa (Jesus) is the son of Allah) from the meeting of a
great Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection, when they will be thrown in the blazing Fire).
38. How clearly will they (polytheists and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) see and hear, the
Day when they will appear before Us! But the Zalimoon (polytheists and wrong-doers) today are in
plain error.
39. And warn them (O Muhammad SAW) of the Day of grief and regrets, when the case has been
decided, while (now) they are in a state of carelessness, and they believe not.
40. Verily! We will inherit the earth and whatsoever is thereon. And to Us they all shall be returned,
41. And mention in the Book (the Quran) Ibrahim (Abraham). Verily! He was a man of truth, a
Prophet.
42. When he said to his father: "O my father! Why do you worship that which hears not, sees not and
cannot avail you in anything?
43. "O my father! Verily! There has come to me of knowledge that which came not unto you. So
follow me. I will guide you to a Straight Path.
44. "O my father! Worship not Shaitan (Satan). Verily! Shaitan (Satan) has been a rebel against the
Most Beneficent (Allah).
45. "O my father! Verily! I fear lest a torment from the Most Beneficent (Allah) overtake you, so
that you become a companion of Shaitan (Satan) (in the Hell-fire)." (Tafsir Al-Qurtubee)
46. He (the father) said: "Do you reject my gods, O Ibrahim (Abraham)? If you stop not (this), I will
indeed stone you. So get away from me safely before I punish you."
47. Ibrahim (Abraham) said: "Peace be on you! I will ask Forgiveness of my Lord for you. Verily!
He is unto me, Ever Most Gracious.
48. "And I shall turn away from you and from those whom you invoke besides Allah. And I shall call
on my Lord; and I hope that I shall not be unblest in my invocation to my Lord."
49. So when he had turned away from them and from those whom they worshipped besides Allah,
We gave him Ishaque (Isaac) and Yaqoob (Jacob), and each one of them We made a Prophet.
50. And We gave them of Our Mercy (a good provision in plenty), and We granted them honour on
the tongues (of all the nations, i.e everybody remembers them with a good praise).
51. And mention in the Book (this Quran) Moosa (Moses). Verily! He was chosen and he was a
Messenger (and) a Prophet.
52. And We called him from the right side of the Mount, and made him draw near to Us for a talk
with him (Moosa (Moses)).
53. And We bestowed on him his brother Haroon (Aaron), (also) a Prophet, out of Our Mercy.
54. And mention in the Book (the Quran) Ismail (Ishmael). Verily! He was true to what he promised,
and he was a Messenger, (and) a Prophet.
55. And he used to enjoin on his family and his people As-Salat (the prayers) and the Zakat, and his
Lord was pleased with him.
56. And mention in the Book (the Quran) Idris (Enoch).Verily! He was a man of truth, (and) a
Prophet.
57. And We raised him to a high station.
58. Those were they unto whom Allah bestowed His Grace from among the Prophets, of the
offspring of Adam, and of those whom We carried (in the ship) with Nooh (Noah), and of the
offspring of Ibrahim (Abraham) and Israel and from among those whom We guided and chose.
When the Verses of the Most Beneficent (Allah) were recited unto them, they fell down prostrating
and weeping.
59. Then, there has succeeded them a posterity who have given up As-Salat (the prayers) (i.e. made
their Salat (prayers) to be lost, either by not offering them or by not offering them perfectly or by not
offering them in their proper fixed times, etc.) and have followed lusts. So they will be thrown in
Hell.
60. Except those who repent and believe (in the Oneness of Allah and His Messenger Muhammad
SAW), and work righteousness. Such will enter Paradise and they will not be wronged in aught.
61. (They will enter) Adn (Eden) Paradise (everlasting Gardens), which the Most Beneficent (Allah)
has promised to His slaves in the unseen: Verily! His Promise must come to pass.
62. They shall not hear therein (in Paradise) any Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk), but only Salam
(salutations of peace). And they will have therein their sustenance, morning and afternoon. (See
(V.40:55)).
63. Such is the Paradise which We shall give as an inheritance to those of Our slaves who have been
Al-Muttaqoon (pious and righteous persons - See V.2:2).
64. And we (angels) descend not except by the Command of your Lord (O Muhammad SAW). To
Him belongs what is before us and what is behind us, and what is between those two, and your Lord
is never forgetful,
65. Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, so worship Him (Alone) and be
constant and patient in His worship. Do you know of any who is similar to Him? (of course none is
similar or coequal or comparable to Him, and He has none as partner with Him). (There is nothing
like unto Him and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer).
66. And man (the disbeliever) says: "When I am dead, shall I then be raised up alive?"
67. Does not man remember that We created him before, while he was nothing?
68. So by your Lord, surely, We shall gather them together, and (also) the Shayatin (devils) (with
them), then We shall bring them round Hell on their knees.
69. Then indeed We shall drag out from every sect all those who were worst in obstinate rebellion
against the Most Beneficent (Allah).
70. Then, verily, We know best those who are most worthy of being burnt therein.
71. There is not one of you but will pass over it (Hell); this is with your Lord; a Decree which must
be accomplished.
72. Then We shall save those who use to fear Allah and were dutiful to Him. AndWe shall leave the
Zalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers, etc.) therein (humbled) to their knees (in Hell).
73. And when Our Clear Verses are recited to them, those who disbelieve (the rich and strong among
the pagans of Quraish who live a life of luxury) say to those who believe (the weak, poor
companions of Prophet Muhammad SAW who have a hard life): "Which of the two groups (i.e.
believers and disbelievers) is best in (point of) position and as regards station (place of council for
consultation)."
74. And how many a generation (past nations) have We destroyed before them, who were better in
wealth, goods and outward appearance?
75. Say (O Muhammad SAW) whoever is in error, the Most Beneficent (Allah) will extend (the
rope) to him, until, when they see that which they were promised, either the torment or the Hour,
they will come to know who is worst in position, and who is weaker in forces. (This is the answer for
the Verse No.19:73)
76. And Allah increases in guidance those who walk aright (true believers in the Oneness of Allah
who fear Allah much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden), and
love Allah much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)). And the righteous good
deeds that last, are better with your Lord, for reward and better for resort.
77. Have you seen him who disbelieved in Our Ayat (this Quran and Muhammad SAW) and (yet)
says: "I shall certainly be given wealth and children (if I will be alive (again)),"
78. Has he known the unseen or has he taken a covenant from the Most Beneficent (Allah)?
79. Nay! We shall record what he says, andWe shall increase his torment (in the Hell);
80. And We shall inherit from him (at his death) all that he talks of (i.e. wealth and children which
We have bestowed upon him in this world), and he shall come to Us alone.
81. And they have taken (for worship) aliha (gods) besides Allah, that they might give them honour,
power and glory (and also protect them from Allahs Punishment etc.).
82. Nay, but they (the so-called gods) will deny their worship of them, and become opponents to
them (on the Day of Resurrection).
83. See you not that We have sent the Shayatin (devils) against the disbelievers to push them to do
evil.
84. So make no haste against them; We only count out to them a (limited) number (of the days of the
life of this world and delay their term so that they may increase in evil and sins).
85. The Day We shall gather the Muttaqoon (pious - see V.2:2) unto the Most Beneficent (Allah),
like a delegate (presented before a king for honour).
86. And We shall drive the Mujrimoon (polytheists, sinners, criminals, disbelievers in the Oneness of
Allah, etc.) to Hell, in a thirsty state (like a thirsty herd driven down to water),
87. None shall have the power of intercession, but such a one as has received permission (or
promise) from the Most Beneficent (Allah).
88. And they say: "The Most Beneficent (Allah) has begotten a son (or offspring or children) (as the
Jews say: Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allah, and the Christians say that He has begotten a son (Iesa
(Christ) ), and the pagan Arabs say that He has begotten daughters (angels, etc.))."
89. Indeed you have brought forth (said) a terrible evil thing.
90. Whereby the heavens are almost torn, and the earth is split asunder, and the mountains fall in
ruins,
91. That they ascribe a son (or offspring or children) to the Most Beneficent (Allah).
92. But it is not suitable for (the Majesty of) the Most Beneficent (Allah) that He should beget a son
(or offspring or children).
93. There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes unto the Most Beneficent (Allah) as a slave.
94. Verily, He knows each one of them, and has counted them a full counting.
95. And everyone of them will come to Him alone on the Day of Resurrection (without any helper,
or protector or defender).
96. Verily, those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah and in His Messenger (Muhammad SAW))
and work deeds of righteousness, the Most Beneficent (Allah) will bestow love for them (in the
hearts of the believers).
97. So We have made this (the Quran) easy in your own tongue (O Muhammad SAW), only that you
may give glad tidings to the Muttaqoon (pious and righteous persons - See V.2:2), and warn with it
the Ludda (most quarrelsome) people.
98. And how many a generation before them haveWe destroyed! Can you (O Muhammad SAW)
find a single one of them or hear even a whisper of them?
