Sad. 2.A mention of the mercy of thy Lord unto His servant Zachariah. 3.When he cried unto his Lord a cry in secret, 4.Saying: My Lord! Lo! the bones of me wax feeble and my head is shining withgrey hair, and I have never been unblest in prayer to Thee, my Lord. 5.Lo! I fear my kinsfolk after me, since my wife is barren. Oh, give me fromThy presence a successor 6.Who shall inherit of me and inherit [also] of the house of Jacob. And makehim, my Lord, acceptable [unto Thee]. 7.[It was said unto him]: O Zachariah! Lo! We bring thee tidings of a son whosename is John; we have given the same name to none before [him]. 8.He said: My Lord! How can I have a son when my wife is barren and I havereached infirm old age? 9.He said: So [it will be]. Thy Lord saith: It is easy for Me, even as Icreated thee before, when thou wast naught. 10.He said: My Lord! Appoint for me some token. He said: Thy token is thatthou, with no bodily defect, shalt not speak unto mankind three nights. 11.Then he came forth unto his people from the sanctuary, and signified tothem: Glorify your Lord at break of day and fall of night. 12.[And it was said unto his son]: O John! Hold fast the Scripture. And we gavehim wisdom when a child, 13.And compassion from Our presence, and purity; and he was devout, 14.And dutiful toward his parents. And he was not arrogant, rebellious. 15.Peace on him the day he was born, and the day he dieth and the day he shallbe raised alive! 16.And make mention of Mary in the Scripture, when she had withdrawn from herpeople to a chamber looking East, 17.And had chosen seclusion from them. Then We sent unto her Our Spirit and itassumed for her the likeness of a perfect man. 18.She said: Lo! I seek refuge in the Beneficent One from thee, if thou artAllah-fearing. 19.He said: I am only a messenger of thy Lord, that I may bestow on thee afaultless son. 20.She said: How can I have a son when no mortal hath touched me, neither haveI been unchaste? 21.He said: So [it will be]. Thy Lord saith: It is easy for Me. And [it willbe] that We may make of him a revelation for mankind and a mercy from Us, and itis a thing ordained. 22.And she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a far place. 23.And the pangs of childbirth drove her unto the trunk of the palm-tree. Shesaid: Oh, would that I had died ere this and had become a thing of naught,forgotten! 24.Then [one] cried unto her from below her, saying: Grieve not! Thy Lord hathplaced a rivulet beneath thee, 25.And shake the trunk of the palm-tree toward thee, thou wilt cause ripe datesto fall upon thee. 26.So eat and drink and be consoled. And if thou meetest any mortal, say: Lo! Ihave vowed a fast unto the Beneficent, and may not speak this day to any mortal. 27.Then she brought him to her own folk, carrying him. They said: O Mary! Thouhast come with an amazing thing. 28.O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a wicked man nor was thy mother aharlot. 29.Then she pointed to him. They said: How can we talk to one who is in thecradle, a young boy? 30.He spake: Lo! I am the slave of Allah. He hath given me the Scripture andhath appointed me a Prophet, 31.And hath made me blessed wheresoever I may be, and hath enjoined upon meprayer and almsgiving so long as I remain alive, 32.And [hath made me] dutiful toward her who bore me, and hath not made mearrogant, unblest. 33.Peace on me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall beraised alive! 34.Such was Jesus, son of Mary: [this is] a statement of the truth concerningwhich they doubt. 35.It befitteth not [the Majesty of] Allah that He should take unto Himself ason. Glory be to Him! When He decreeth a thing, He saith unto it only: Be! andit is. 36.And lo! Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So serve Him. That is the rightpath. 37.The sects among them differ: but woe unto the disbelievers from the meetingof an awful Day. 38.See and hear them on the Day they come unto Us! yet the evil-doers are today in error manifest. 39.And warn them of the Day of anguish when the case hath been decided. Nowthey are in a state of carelessness, and they believe not. 40.Lo! We, only We, inherit the earth and all who are thereon, and unto Us theyare returned. 41.And make mention [O Muhammad] in the Scripture of Abraham. Lo! he was asaint, a prophet. 42.When he said unto his father: O my father! Why worshippest thou that whichheareth not nor seeth, nor can in aught avail thee? 43.O my father! Lo! there hath come unto me of knowledge that which came notunto thee. So follow me, and I will lead thee on a right path. 44.O my father! Serve not the devil. Lo! the devil is a rebel unto theBeneficent. 45.O my father! Lo! I fear lest a punishment from the Beneficent overtake theeso that thou become a comrade of the devil. 46.He said: Rejectest thou my gods, O Abraham? If thou cease not, I shallsurely stone thee. Depart from me a long while! 47.He said: Peace be unto thee! I shall ask forgiveness of my Lord for thee.Lo! He was ever gracious unto me. 48.I shall withdraw from you and that unto which ye pray beside Allah, and Ishall pray unto my Lord. It may be that, in prayer unto my Lord, I shall not beunblest. 49.So, when he had withdrawn from them and that which they were worshippingbeside Allah, We gave him Isaac and Jacob. Each of them We made a prophet. 50.And we gave them of Our mercy, and assigned to them a high and true renown. 51.And make mention in the Scripture of Moses. Lo! he was chosen, and he was amessenger [of Allah], a prophet. 52.We called him from the right slope of the Mount, and brought him nigh incommunion. 53.And We bestowed upon him of Our mercy his brother Aaron, a prophet[likewise]. 54.And make mention in the Scripture of Ishmael. Lo! he was a keeper of hispromise, and he was a messenger [of Allah], a prophet. 55.He enjoined upon his people worship and almsgiving, and was acceptable inthe sight of his Lord. 56.And make mention in the Scripture of Idris. Lo! he was a saint, a prophet; 57.And We raised him to high station. 58.These are they unto whom Allah showed favour from among the prophets, of theseed of Adam and of those whom We carried [in the ship] with Noah, and of theseed of Abraham and Israel, and from among those whom We guided and chose. Whenthe revelations of the Beneficent were recited unto them, they fell down,adoring and weeping. 59.Now there hath succeeded them a later generation whom have ruined worshipand have followed lusts. But they will meet deception. 60.Save him who shall repent and believe and do right. Such will enter theGarden, and they will not be wronged in aught - 61.Gardens of Eden, which the Beneficent hath promised to His slaves in theunseen. Lo! His promise is ever sure of fulfilment - 62.They hear therein no idle talk, but only Peace; and therein they have foodfor morn and evening. 63.Such is the Garden which We cause the devout among Our bondmen to inherit. 64.We [angels] come not down save by commandment of thy Lord. Unto Himbelongeth all that is before us and all that is behind us and all that isbetween those two, and thy Lord was never forgetful - 65.Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them! Therefor,worship thou Him and be thou steadfast in His service. Knowest thou one that canbe named along with Him? 66.And man saith: When I am dead, shall I forsooth be brought forth alive? 67.Doth not man remember that We created him before, when he was naught? 68.And, by thy Lord, verily We shall assemble them and the devils, then Weshall bring them, crouching, around hell. 69.Then We shall pluck out from every sect whichever of them was most stubbornin rebellion to the Beneficent. 70.And surely We are Best Aware of those most worthy to be burned therein. 71.There is not one of you but shall approach it. That is a fixed ordinance ofthy Lord. 72.Then We shall rescue those who kept from evil, and leave the evil-doerscrouching there. 73.And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them, those who disbelievesay unto those who believe: Which of the two parties [yours or ours] is betterin position, and more imposing as an army? 74.How many a generation have We destroyed before them, who were more imposingin respect of gear and outward seeming! 75.Say: As for him who is in error, the Beneficent will verily prolong his spanof life until, when they behold that which they were promised, whether it bepunishment [in the world], or the Hour [of doom], they will know who is worse inposition and who is weaker as an army. 76.Allah increaseth in right guidance those who walk aright, and the good deedswhich endure are better in thy Lords sight for reward, and better for resort. 77.Hast thou seen him who disbelieveth in Our revelations and saith: AssuredlyI shall be given wealth and children? 78.Hath he perused the Unseen, or hath he made a pact with the Beneficent? 79.Nay, but We shall record that which he saith and prolong for him a span oftorment. 80.And We shall inherit from him that whereof he spake, and he will come untoUs, alone [without his wealth and children]. 81.And they have chosen [other] gods beside Allah that they may be a power forthem. 82.Nay, but they will deny their worship of them, and become opponents untothem. 83.Seest thou not that We have set the devils on the disbelievers to confound them with confusion? 84.So make no haste against them [O Muhammad]. We do but number unto them a sum[of days]. 85.On the day when We shall gather the righteous unto the Beneficent, a goodlycompany. 86.And drive the guilty unto hell, a weary herd, 87.They will have no power of intercession, save him who hath made a covenantwith his Lord. 88.And they say: The Beneficent hath taken unto Himself a son. 89.Assuredly ye utter a disastrous thing 90.Whereby almost the heavens are torn, and the earth is split asunder and themountains fall in ruins, 91.That ye ascribe unto the Beneficent a son, 92.When it is not meet for [the Majesty of] the Beneficent that He shouldchoose a son. 93.There is none in the heavens and the earth but cometh unto the Beneficent as a slave. 94.Verily He knoweth them and numbereth them with [right] numbering. 95.And each one of them will come unto Him on the Day of Resurrection, alone. 96.Lo! those who believe and do good works, the Beneficent will appoint forthem love. 97.And We make [this Scripture] easy in thy tongue, [O Muhammad] only that thoumayst bear good tidings therewith unto those who ward off [evil], and warntherewith the froward folk. 98.And how many a generation before them have We destroyed! Canst thou[Muhammad] see a single man of them, or hear from them the slightest sound?
