˹This is˺ a reminder of your Lord’s mercy to His servant Zachariah,

A mention of the mercy of thy Lord unto His servant Zachariah.

AN ACCOUNT of the grace which thy Sustainer bestowed upon His servant Zachariah:

This is the record of that mercy of your Lord, which He showed to His bondman Zakaria.

This is an account of the mercy of your Lord (bestowed) upon His (chosen) servant Zakariyya (Zacharias)

when he cried out to his Lord privately,

When he cried unto his Lord a cry in secret,

When he called out to his Sustainer in the secrecy of his heart,

When he called his Lord secretly.

When he called upon his Lord in a low voice (charged with politeness and submissiveness)

saying, “My Lord! Surely my bones have become brittle, and grey hair has spread across my head, but I have never been disappointed in my prayer to You, my Lord!

Saying: My Lord! Lo! the bones of me wax feeble and my head is shining with grey hair, and I have never been unblest in prayer to Thee, my Lord.

he prayed: "O my Sustainer! Feeble have become my bones, and my head glistens with grey hair. But never yet, O my Lord, has my prayer unto Thee remained unanswered.

He submitted, 'O My Lord, my bone is weakened and the flame of oldness appeared from the head. And O my Lord, I never remained unsuccessful after calling you'

He submitted: ‘O my Lord, my bones have grown tender and (my) head has turned white like a flame due to old age and, O my Lord, I have never been unblessed when supplicating You

And I am concerned about ˹the faith of˺ my relatives after me, since my wife is barren. So grant me, by Your grace, an heir,

Lo! I fear my kinsfolk after me, since my wife is barren. Oh, give me from Thy presence a successor

"Now, behold, I am afraid of [what] my kinsfolk [will do] after I am gone, for my wife has always been barren. Bestow, then, upon me, out of Thy grace, the gift of a successor

And I fear my relations after me, and my wife is barren, then bestow me from Yourself any one who may take over my work'.

And I fear my (disbelieving) relatives (may ruin the blessing of Din [Religion]) after my (soul departs) and my wife (too) is barren. So bless me from Your presence with an heir (son)

who will inherit ˹prophethood˺ from me and the family of Jacob, and make him, O Lord, pleasing ˹to You˺!”

Who shall inherit of me and inherit (also) of the house of Jacob. And make him, my Lord, acceptable (unto Thee).

who will be my heir as well as an heir [to the dignity] of the House of Jacob; and make him, O my Sustainer, well-pleasing to Thee!"

He should be my heir and be the heir of the children of Yaqub and O my Lord! Make him acceptable'.

(The one) who should be my heir (of divine blessing), and also the heir of (the chain of Prophethood from) the Children of Ya‘qub (Jacob). And, O my Lord, (also) make him a recipient of Your Pleasure.

˹The angels announced,˺ “O Zachariah! Indeed, We give you the good news of ˹the birth of˺ a son, whose name will be John—a name We have not given to anyone before.”

(It was said unto him): O Zachariah! Lo! We bring thee tidings of a son whose name is John; we have given the same name to none before (him).

[Thereupon the angels called out unto him: "O Zachariah! We bring thee the glad tiding of [the birth of] a son whose name shall be John. [And God says,] `Never have We given this name to anyone before him."

'O Zakaria! We give you glad tiding of a son whose name is Yahya. We have not made anyone of this name before him

(Allah said:) ‘O Zakariyya (Zacharias), indeed We give you the good news of a son whose name shall be Yahya (John). We have not given this name to anyone before him.

He wondered, “My Lord! How can I have a son when my wife is barren, and I have become extremely old?”

He said: My Lord! How can I have a son when my wife is barren and I have reached infirm old age?

[Zachariah] exclaimed: "O my Sustainer! How can I have a son when my wife has always been barren and I have become utterly infirm through old age?"

Submitted he, 'O my Lord, from where I shall have a son when my wife is barren and I have reached the condition of being emaciated due to old-age'

(Zakariyya [Zacharias]) submitted: ‘My Lord, how can there be a son to me whilst my wife is barren, and I have shrivelled (into extreme debility) on account of old age?

An angel replied, “So will it be! Your Lord says, ‘It is easy for Me, just as I created you before, when you were nothing!’”

He said: So (it will be). Thy Lord saith: It is easy for Me, even as I created thee before, when thou wast naught.

Answered [the angel]: "Thus. it is; [but] thy 'Sustainer says, `This is easy for Me -even as I have created thee aforetime out of nothing.

He said, 'so it is, your Lord said', that is easy to Me and indeed I made you before at a time when you were nothing

(He) said: ‘(Don’t be amazed.) It will be the same way.’ Your Lord said: ‘It is easy for Me (to create a son). Certainly, I created you (too) before, whilst you were (just) nothing.

Zachariah said, “My Lord! Grant me a sign.” He responded, “Your sign is that you will not ˹be able to˺ speak to people for three nights, despite being healthy.”

He said: My Lord! Appoint for me some token. He said: Thy token is that thou, with no bodily defect, shalt not speak unto mankind three nights.

[Zachariah] prayed: "O my Sustainer! Appoint a sign for me!" Said [the angel]: "Thy sign shall be that for full three nights [and days] thou wilt not speak unto men.

Submitted he, 'O my Lord, give me any sign', He said, 'your sign is this that you speak not to people three nights being healthy'.

(Zakariyya [Zacharias]) submitted: ‘My Lord, set a sign for me.’ He said: ‘Your sign is that, despite good health, you shall not be able to speak to the people for three nights (and days).

So he came out to his people from the sanctuary, signalling to them to glorify ˹Allah˺ morning and evening.

Then he came forth unto his people from the sanctuary, and signified to them: Glorify your Lord at break of day and fall of night.

Thereupon he came out of the sanctuary unto his people and signified to them [by gestures]: "Extol His limitless glory by day and by night!"

Then he came out to his people from the mosque and he beckoned to them, continue glorifying morning and evening.

Then (Zakariyya [Zacharias]) came out from his worshipping chamber to his people and conveyed to them (i.e., made them understand) by gestures to glorify (Allah) morning and evening

˹It was later said,˺ “O John! Hold firmly to the Scriptures.” And We granted him wisdom while ˹he was still˺ a child,

(And it was said unto his son): O John! Hold fast the Scripture. And we gave him wisdom when a child,

[And when the son was born and grew up, he was told,] "O John! Hold fast unto the divine writ with [all thy] strength!" - for We granted him wisdom "while he was yet a little boy,

'O Yahya, (John) hold fast the Book. And We bestowed him prophet hood in his childhood.

O Yahya (John)! Hold fast to (Our) Book (the Torah). And We granted him wisdom and vision (i.e., Prophethood) whilst yet a child

as well as purity and compassion from Us. And he was God-fearing,

And compassion from Our presence, and purity; and he was devout,

as well as, by Our grace, [the gift of] compassion and purity; and he was [always] conscious of Us

And kind-heartedness from purity and Us. And he was utmost God fearing.

And (blessed him) with sympathy and tenderness and purity and virtuousness from Our kind presence, and he was very Godfearing

and kind to his parents. He was neither arrogant nor disobedient.

And dutiful toward his parents. And he was not arrogant, rebellious.

and full of piety towards his parents; and never was he haughty or rebellious.

And was well behaved towards his parents and was not arrogant, disobedient.

(He was) greatly righteous (and dutiful) to his parents, and was neither disobedient nor arrogant (like common boys)

Peace be upon him the day he was born, and the day of his death, and the day he will be raised back to life!

Peace on him the day he was born, and the day he dieth and the day he shall be raised alive!

Hence, [God's] peace was upon him on the day when he was born, and on the day of his death, and. will be [upon him] on the day when he shall be raised to life [again].

And peace is on him the day when he was born and the day, when he will die and the day when he will be raised alive.

And peace be on Yahya (John) the day he was born, the day he dies, and the day he will be raised up alive

And mention in the Book ˹O Prophet, the story of˺ Mary when she withdrew from her family to a place in the east,

And make mention of Mary in the Scripture, when she had withdrawn from her people to a chamber looking East,

AND CALL to mind, through this divine writ, Mary. Lo! She withdrew from her family to an eastern place

And remember, Maryam in the Book; when she went a part from her family towards a place in the east.

And, (O My Esteemed Beloved,) recite the account of Maryam (Mary) in the Book (the Holy Qur’an) when she separated from her family (adopting seclusion for worship and) moved to the eastern house

screening herself off from them. Then We sent to her Our angel, ˹Gabriel,˺ appearing before her as a man, perfectly formed.

And had chosen seclusion from them. Then We sent unto her Our Spirit and it assumed for her the likeness of a perfect man.

and kept herself in seclusion from them, whereupon We sent unto her Our angel of revelation, who appeared to her in the shape of a well-made human being.

Then she put a screen away from them, then We sent Our spiritual towards her, and he appeared before her in the shape of healthy man.

So she adopted veiling from them (the family and the people so that the absolute divine beauty unveils Himself). Then We sent towards her Our Spirit (the angel, Gabriel), who appeared before her in complete form of a human being

She appealed, “I truly seek refuge in the Most Compassionate from you! ˹So leave me alone˺ if you are God-fearing.”

She said: Lo! I seek refuge in the Beneficent One from thee, if thou art Allah-fearing.

She exclaimed: "Verily, 'I seek refuge from thee with the Most Gracious! [Approach me not] if thou art conscious of Him!"

She said, 'I beg refuge of the Most Affectionate from you if you are afraid of God'.

(Maryam [Mary]) said: ‘I seek refuge with the Most Gracious (Lord) from you if you fear (Allah).

He responded, “I am only a messenger from your Lord, ˹sent˺ to bless you with a pure son.”

He said: I am only a messenger of thy Lord, that I may bestow on thee a faultless son.

[The angel] answered: "I' am but a messenger of thy Sustainer, [who says,] `I shall bestow upon thee the gift of a son endowed with purity.'"

He said, 'I am only a messenger of your Lord. That I may give you a pure son'.

(Jibra’il [Gabriel]) said: ‘I am only a messenger from your Lord. (I have come) to bestow upon you a pure son.

She wondered, “How can I have a son when no man has ever touched me, nor am I unchaste?”

She said: How can I have a son when no mortal hath touched me, neither have I been unchaste?

Said she: "How can I have a son when no man has ever touched me? - for, never have I been a loose woman!"

She said, 'from where shall I have a son, no man has touched me, nor I am an unchaste?

(Maryam [Mary]) said: ‘How can there be a son to me, whereas no man has even touched me, nor am I unchaste?

He replied, “So will it be! Your Lord says, ‘It is easy for Me. And so will We make him a sign for humanity and a mercy from Us.’ It is a matter ˹already˺ decreed.”

He said: So (it will be). Thy Lord saith: It is easy for Me. And (it will be) that We may make of him a revelation for mankind and a mercy from Us, and it is a thing ordained.

[The angel] answered: "Thus it is; [but] thy Sustainer says, `This is easy for Me; and [thou shalt have a son,] so that We might make him a symbol unto mankind and an act of grace from US. And it was a thing decreed [by God]:

He said, 'so it is, your Lord has said, this is easy to me', and that We make it a sign for the people and a mercy from Us, and this matter is already decreed.

(Jibra’il [Gabriel]) said: ‘(Do not wonder.) It will be the same way. Your Lord says: This (work) is easy for Me, and (the objective is) that We may make him a sign for the people and mercy from Us. And it is a matter (already) decreed.

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

And she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a far place.

and in time she conceived him, and then she withdrew with him to a far-off place.

Now Maryam conceived it, then she went away with him to a far off place.

So Maryam (Mary) conceived him and positioned herself at a remote site, aloof (from the people)

Then the pains of labour drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She cried, “Alas! I wish I had died before this, and was a thing long forgotten!”

And the pangs of childbirth drove her unto the trunk of the palm-tree. She said: Oh, would that I had died ere this and had become a thing of naught, forgotten!

And [when] the throes of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree, she exclaimed: "Oh, would that I had died ere this, and had become a thing forgotten, utterly forgotten!"

Then the pains of the childbirth brought her to the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, Oh, would that I had died before this and had become a thing forgotten, lost'.

Then the birth pangs drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree. She said (in anxiety): ‘Would that I had died before this and had become totally forgotten!

So a voice reassured her from below her, “Do not grieve! Your Lord has provided a stream at your feet.

Then (one) cried unto her from below her, saying: Grieve not! Thy Lord hath placed a rivulet beneath thee,

Thereupon [a voice] called out to her from beneath that [palm-tree]: "Grieve not! Thy Sustainer has provided a rivulet [running] beneath thee;

Then one called from underneath her, grieve not undoubtedly, your Lord has caused to flow a rivulet below you.

Then (Gabriel or ‘Isa [Jesus] himself) called out to her from beneath her: ‘Grieve not. Surely, your Lord has made a water spring flow under you (or has created and laid under you an exalted human being)

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

And shake the trunk of the palm-tree toward thee, thou wilt cause ripe dates to fall upon thee.

and shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards thee: it will drop fresh, ripe dates upon thee.

And shake towards yourself holding the trunk of the palm tree, fresh and ripe dates will fall upon you.

And shake the trunk of the date-palm towards you. It will shed fresh ripe dates upon you

So eat and drink, and put your heart at ease. But if you see any of the people, say, ‘I have vowed silence to the Most Compassionate, so I am not talking to anyone today.’”

So eat and drink and be consoled. And if thou meetest any mortal, say: Lo! I have vowed a fast unto the Beneficent, and may not speak this day to any mortal.

Eat, then, and drink, and let thine eye be gladdened! And if thou shouldst see any human being, convey this unto him: `Behold, abstinence from speech have I vowed unto the Most Gracious; hence, I may not speak today to any mortal.

Then eat and drink and Cool your eyes; then if you see any man, then say, 'I have vowed a fast to the Most Affectionate, so I shall not speak to anyone today'.

So eat and drink and cool (your) eyes (with the sight of your beautiful, lovely baby). Then if you see any man, say (to him by gestures): ‘I have vowed a fast (of silence) to the Most Gracious (Lord), so I shall just not talk to any human being today.

Then she returned to her people, carrying him. They said ˹in shock˺, “O Mary! You have certainly done a horrible thing!

Then she brought him to her own folk, carrying him. They said: O Mary! Thou hast come with an amazing thing.

And in time she returned to her people, carrying the child with her. They said: "O Mary! Thou hast indeed done an amazing thing!

Then she brought him to her people taking him in her lap. They said, 'no 'doubt, you have committed a very vile thing.'

Then, carrying (the baby in her lap), she came to her people. They said: ‘O Maryam (Mary), surely you have brought quite an amazing thing

O sister of Aaron! Your father was not an indecent man, nor was your mother unchaste.”

O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a wicked man nor was thy mother a harlot.

O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a wicked man, nor was thy mother a loose woman!"

'O sister of Haroon! your father was not a wicked man and nor was your mother an unchaste woman.

O sister of Harun (Aaron)! Neither was your father a bad man, nor was your mother an unchaste woman.

So she pointed to the baby. They exclaimed, “How can we talk to someone who is an infant in the cradle?”

Then she pointed to him. They said: How can we talk to one who is in the cradle, a young boy?

Thereupon she pointed to him. They exclaimed: "How can we talk to one who [as yet] is a little boy in the cradle?"

Then Maryam pointed towards the child. They said, how could we talk to him who is a baby in the cradle'.

On this Maryam (Mary) pointed to (the baby). They said: ‘How can we talk to him who is (yet) an infant in the cradle?

Jesus declared, “I am truly a servant of Allah. He has destined me to be given the Scripture and to be a prophet.

He spake: Lo! I am the slave of Allah. He hath given me the Scripture and hath appointed me a Prophet,

[But] he said: "Behold, I am a servant of God. He has vouchsafed unto me revelation and made me a prophet,

The baby said, 'I am a bondman of Allah, He gave me the Book and made me the communicator of unseen news (the Prophet).

(The infant himself) spoke out: ‘I am indeed a servant of Allah. He has given me the Book and has raised me as a Prophet

He has made me a blessing wherever I go, and bid me to establish prayer and give alms-tax as long as I live,

And hath made me blessed wheresoever I may be, and hath enjoined upon me prayer and almsgiving so long as I remain alive,

and made me blessed wherever I may be; and He has enjoined upon me prayer and charity as long as I live,

And he made me blessed wherever I may be and enjoined on me prayer and poor due (Zakat) so long as I live.

And wherever I may reside, He has made me an embodiment of blessing. And He has enjoined upon me Prayer and Zakat (the Alms-due) as long as I am alive

and to be kind to my mother. He has not made me arrogant or defiant.

And (hath made me) dutiful toward her who bore me, and hath not made me arrogant, unblest.

and [has endowed me with] piety towards my mother; and He has not made me haughty or bereft of grace.

And dutiful to my mother and not made me vigorous, unfortunate.

And (He has made me) treat my mother with excellence and has not made me disobedient and ill-fated

Peace be upon me the day I was born, the day I die, and the day I will be raised back to life!”

Peace on me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive!

"Hence, peace was upon me on the day when I was born, and [will be upon me] on the day of my death, and on the day when I shall be raised to life [again]!"

And the same peace on me the day I was born and the day I die and the day I am raised alive.

And peace be upon me on the day of my birth, the day of my demise and the day I shall be raised up alive!

That is Jesus, son of Mary. ˹And this is˺ a word of truth, about which they dispute.

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

SUCH WAS, in the words of truth, Jesus the son of Mary, about whose nature they so deeply disagree.

This is Iesa the son of Maryam, a word of truth in which they doubts.

Such is ‘Isa, the son of Maryam (Jesus, the son of Mary. That is) the truth about which these people doubt

It is not for Allah to take a son! Glory be to Him. When He decrees a matter, He simply tells it, “Be!” And it is!

It befitteth not (the Majesty of) Allah that He should take unto Himself a son. Glory be to Him! When He decreeth a thing, He saith unto it only: Be! and it is.

It is not conceivable that God should have taken unto Himself a son: limitless is He in His glory! When He wills a thing to be, He but says unto it "Be" -and it is!

It is not befitting to Allah that He should take to Himself anyone as son, Holy is He. When He decrees anything, thus then He says to it, 'Be' it becomes atonce.

It is not Allah’s Glory that He should take (to Himself anyone as) a son. Holy and Glorified is He (above this)! When He decrees any matter, He only says to it: ‘Be,’ and it becomes

˹Jesus also declared,˺ “Surely Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him ˹alone˺. This is the Straight Path.”

And lo! Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So serve Him. That is the right path.

And [thus it was that Jesus always said]: "Verily, God is my Sustainer as well as your Sustainer; so worship [none but] Him: this (alone] is a straight way."

And Iesa said, 'undoubtedly Allah is my Lord and your Lord, then worship Him. This path is straight'.

And surely, Allah is my Lord and your Lord (too). So always worship Him alone. This is the straight path

Yet their ˹various˺ groups have differed among themselves ˹about him˺, so woe to the disbelievers when they face a tremendous Day!

The sects among them differ: but woe unto the disbelievers from the meeting of an awful Day.

And yet, the sects [that follow the Bible] are at variance among themselves [about the nature of Jesus Woe, then, unto all who deny the truth when that awesome Day will appear!

Then the parties differed among themselves; then misery is for the infidels from the presence of a great day.

Then their sects began to differ amongst themselves. So the disbelievers are doomed due to the presence on the Mighty Day (of Resurrection)

How clearly will they hear and see on the Day they will come to Us! But today the wrongdoers are clearly astray.

See and hear them on the Day they come unto Us! yet the evil-doers are to-day in error manifest.

How well will they hear and see [the truth] on the Day when they come before Us! Today, however, these evildoers are obviously lost in error:

How much they will hear and how much they will see the day they will come to Us, but today the unjust are in open error.

How (curiously) will they hear (with their ears wide open), and how (bewilderedly) will they see (with their eyes stunned) on the Day when they will appear before Us! But Today the wrongdoers are but (sunk) into manifest error

And warn them ˹O Prophet˺ of the Day of Regret, when all matters will be settled, while they are ˹engrossed˺ in heedlessness and disbelief.

And warn them of the Day of anguish when the case hath been decided. Now they are in a state of carelessness, and they believe not.

hence, warn them of [the coming of] the Day of Regrets, when everything will have been decided-for as yet they are heedless, and they do not believe [in it].

And warn them of the Day of regret when the matter would have been decreed and they are in negligence and they believe not.

And warn them of the Day of Regret (and Shame) when (every) matter shall be decided, but they are rapt in (a state of) negligence and simply do not believe

Indeed, it is We Who will succeed the earth and whoever is on it. And to Us they will ˹all˺ be returned.

Lo! We, only We, inherit the earth and all who are thereon, and unto Us they are returned.

Behold, We alone shall remain after the earth and all who live on it have passed away, and (when] unto Us all will have been brought back.

Undoubtedly, We shall inherit the earth and whatever is thereon and they shall return towards Us.

Surely, We alone are the Inheritor of the earth and (also) of those who dwell on it, and (they all) shall be brought back to Us

And mention in the Book ˹O Prophet, the story of˺ Abraham. He was surely a man of truth and a prophet.

And make mention (O Muhammad) in the Scripture of Abraham. Lo! he was a saint, a prophet.

AND CALL to mind, through this divine writ, Abraham. Behold, he was a man of truth, [already] a prophet

And remember Ibrahim in the Book, no doubt, he was truthful.

And recite the account of Ibrahim (Abraham) in the Book (the Holy Qur’an). Surely, he was a Prophet blessed with truthfulness

˹Remember˺ when he said to his father, “O dear father! Why do you worship what can neither hear nor see, nor benefit you at all?

When he said unto his father: O my father! Why worshippest thou that which heareth not nor seeth, nor can in aught avail thee?

when he spoke [thus] unto his father: "O my father! Why dost thou worship something that neither hears nor sees and can be of no avail whatever to thee?

When he said to his father, 'O my father, why do you worship that which neither hears nor sees, and nor it is of any use to you'.

When he said to his father (i.e., his uncle Azar who brought him up after his father Tarakh died): ‘O my father, why do you worship these (idols) which cannot hear or see, nor can they remove any (troublesome) thing from you

O dear father! I have certainly received some knowledge which you have not received, so follow me and I will guide you to the Straight Path.

O my father! Lo! there hath come unto me of knowledge that which came not unto thee. So follow me, and I will lead thee on a right path.

"O my father! Behold, there has indeed come to me [a ray] of knowledge such as has never yet come unto thee: follow me, then; I shall guide thee onto a perfect way.

'O my father! Undoubtedly', there has come to me that knowledge which has not come to you, then follow me, I shall guide you to straight path'.

O father! No doubt there has come to me knowledge (from the divine presence of Allah) which has not come to you. Follow me; I shall show you the straight path

O dear father! Do not worship Satan. Surely Satan is ever rebellious against the Most Compassionate.

O my father! Serve not the devil. Lo! the devil is a rebel unto the Beneficent.

"O my father! Do not worship Satan-for, verily, Satan is a rebel against the Most Gracious!

'O my father! Serve not e devil (Satan) undoubtedly, the devil is disobedient against the Most Affectionate'.

O father! Do not worship Satan. Surely, Satan is a great rebel against the Most Kind (Lord)

O dear father! I truly fear that you will be touched by a torment from the Most Compassionate, and become Satan’s companion ˹in Hell˺.”

O my father! Lo! I fear lest a punishment from the Beneficent overtake thee so that thou become a comrade of the devil.

O my father! I dread lest a chastisement from the Most Gracious befall thee, and then thou wilt become [aware of having been] close unto Satan!"

'O my father! I fear that the torment of the Most then you become the companion of the devil (Satan).

O father! Indeed, I fear that a torment from the Most Kind (Lord) may seize you and you become a companion of Satan.

He threatened, “How dare you reject my idols, O Abraham! If you do not desist, I will certainly stone you ˹to death˺. So be gone from me for a long time!”

He said: Rejectest thou my gods, O Abraham? If thou cease not, I shall surely stone thee. Depart from me a long while!

He answered: "Dost thou dislike my gods, O Abraham? Indeed, if thou desist not, I shall most certainly cause thee to be stoned to death! Now begone from me for good!"

He said, 'do you turn your face from my gods O Ibrahim'? No doubt, if you would not desist, then I shall stone you, and be away from me for a good long time.

(Azar) said: ‘Ibrahim (Abraham), have you turned away from my gods? If you do not practically desist (from this opposition), I shall certainly stone you to death. And keep away from me for a long while.

Abraham responded, “Peace be upon you! I will pray to my Lord for your forgiveness. He has truly been Most Gracious to me.

He said: Peace be unto thee! I shall ask forgiveness of my Lord for thee. Lo! He was ever gracious unto me.

[Abraham] replied: "Peace be upon thee! I shall ask my Sustainer to forgive thee: for, behold, He has always been kind unto me.

He said, 'now enough, peace be to you, I will beg my Lord forgiveness for you, no doubt, He is kind enough to me.

Ibrahim (Abraham) said: ‘(All right,) peace be on you. I shall beg forgiveness for you from my Lord (even) now. He is indeed very kind to me. (He may bestow guidance upon you.

As I distance myself from ˹all of˺ you and from whatever you invoke besides Allah, I will ˹continue to˺ call upon my Lord ˹alone˺, trusting that I will never be disappointed in invoking my Lord.”

I shall withdraw from you and that unto which ye pray beside Allah, and I shall pray unto my Lord. It may be that, in prayer unto my Lord, I shall not be unblest.

But I shall withdraw from you all and from whatever you invoke instead of God, and shall invoke my Sustainer [alone]: it may well be that my prayer [for thee] will not remain unanswered by my Sustainer."

And I shall be apart from you and from all those whom you worship besides Allah and I shall worship my Lord, it is near that by serving my Lord I may not be unfortunate.

And I turn away from you (all), and these (idols) which you worship besides Allah. And I worship my Lord (with absolute concentration). I hope that, owing to the worship of my Lord, I shall not be deprived (of His bounty).

So after he had left them and what they worshipped besides Allah, We granted him Isaac and Jacob, and made each of them a prophet.

So, when he had withdrawn from them and that which they were worshipping beside Allah, We gave him Isaac and Jacob. Each of them We made a prophet.

And after he had withdrawn from them and from all that they were worshipping instead of God, We bestowed upon him Isaac and Jacob, and made each of them a prophet;

Then when he aparted from them and from their deities beside Allah, We gave him Ishaque and Yaqub. And made each of them Prophet the communicator of unseen news.

So when Ibrahim (Abraham, giving up all social links,) completely separated from the people and those (idols) that they worshipped apart from Allah, We blessed him with Ishaq (Isaac) and Ya‘qub (Jacob, son and grandson,) and We made each of them a Prophet

We showered them with Our mercy, and blessed them with honourable mention.

And we gave them of Our mercy, and assigned to them a high and true renown.

and We bestowed upon them [manifold] gifts out of Our grace, and granted them a lofty power to convey the truth [unto others].

And We gave them Our mercy and put for them true lofty renown.

Those were ˹some of˺ the prophets who Allah has blessed from among the descendants of Adam, and of those We carried with Noah ˹in the Ark˺, and of the descendants of Abraham and Israel, and of those We ˹rightly˺ guided and chose. Whenever the revelations of the Most Compassionate were recited to them, they fell down, prostrating and weeping.

These are they unto whom Allah showed favour 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 unto them, they fell down, adoring and weeping.

THESE WERE some of the prophets upon whom God bestowed His blessings - [prophets] of the seed of Adam and of those whom We caused to be borne [in the ark] with Noah, and of the seed of Abraham and Israel and [all of them were] among those whom We had guided and elected; [and] whenever the messages of the Most Gracious were conveyed unto them, they would fall down [before Him], prostrating themselves and weeping.

These are they on whom Allah bestowed His blessings from amongst the communicators of unseen news, of the offspring of Adam and of them whom We bore with Nuh and of the offspring of Ibrahim and Yaqoob and of them whom We guided and chose.

But they were succeeded by generations who neglected prayer and followed their lusts and so will soon face the evil consequences.

Now there hath succeeded them a later generation whom have ruined worship and have followed lusts. But they will meet deception.

Yet they were succeeded by generations [of people] who lost all [thought of] prayer and followed [but] their own lusts; and these will, in time, meet with utter disillusion.

Then after them came those degenerate who wasted prayer and followed their lust then soon they will encounter a valley of the hell.

Then followed their pathetic successors who gave up Prayers and followed the lusts (of their ill-commanding selves). So they will soon face punishment in the Hereafter (in the Ghayi valley of Hell)

As for those who repent, believe, and do good, it is they who will be admitted into Paradise, never being denied any reward.

Excepted, however, shall be those who repent and attain to faith and do righteous deeds: for it is they who will enter paradise and will not be wronged in any way:

“We only descend by the command of your Lord. To Him belongs whatever is before us, and whatever is behind us, and everything in between. And your Lord is never forgetful.

We (angels) come not down save by commandment of thy Lord. Unto Him belongeth all that is before us and all that is behind us and all that is between those two, and thy Lord was never forgetful -

AND [the angels say]: "We do not descend [with revelation], again and again, other than by thy Sustainer's command: unto Him belongs all that lies open before us and all that is hidden-from us and all that is in-between. And never does thy Sustainer forget [anything] –

(And Gabriel said to the beloved Prophet), 'we angels do not descend but by the command of your honor's Lord. His is whatever is before us and whatsoever is behind us and whatsoever is in between and your honor's Lord is never forgetful.

And, (O Jibra’il [Gabriel], say to My Beloved:) ‘We cannot descend (onto earth) without the command of your Lord. To Him belongs whatever is before us and whatever is behind us and whatever is in between. And your Lord is never forgetful (of you)

˹He is the˺ Lord of the heavens, and the earth, and everything in between. So worship Him ˹alone˺, and be steadfast in His worship. Do you know of anyone equal to Him ˹in His attributes˺?”

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 can be named along with Him?

the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them! Worship, then, Him alone, and remain steadfast in His worship! Dost thou know any whose name is worthy to be mentioned side by side with His?"

Lord of the heavens and earth and what is in between, then worship Him and remain firm in His worship. Do you know any other of His name?

(He) is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between the two. So worship Him and remain steadfast in His worship. Do you know who is His namesake?

Yet ˹some˺ people ask ˹mockingly˺, “After I die, will I really be raised to life again?”

And man saith: When I am dead, shall I forsooth be brought forth alive?

WITH ALL THIS, man [often] says, "What! Once I am dead, shall I again be brought forth alive?"

And the man says, 'shall when I die, then necessarily soon be brought forth alive?'

And man says: ‘Shall I be soon brought forth alive when I die?

Do ˹such˺ people not remember that We created them before, when they were nothing?

Doth not man remember that We created him before, when he was naught?

But does man not bear in mind that We have created him aforetime out of nothing?

And does the man not remember that We made him before when he was nothing.

Does man not remember that We had created him before this (also) whilst he was just nothing

By your Lord ˹O Prophet˺! We will surely gather them along with the devils, and then set them around Hell on their knees.

And, by thy Lord, verily We shall assemble them and the devils, then We shall bring them, crouching, around hell.

And so, by thy Sustainer, [on Judgment Day] We shall most certainly bring them forth together with the satanic forces [which impelled them in life] and then We shall most certainly gather them, on their knees, around hell;

So by your Lord, We shall gather them and the devils together, and shall bring them around the Hell falling on their knees.

So, by your Lord, We will certainly gather them and (all) satans together (on the Day of Judgment). We will then bring them (all) around Hell fallen down in kneeling position

Then We will certainly begin by dragging out of every group the ones most defiant to the Most Compassionate.

Then We shall pluck out from every sect whichever of them was most stubborn in rebellion to the Beneficent.

and thereupon We shall, indeed, draw forth from every group [of sinners] the ones that had been most determined in their disdainful rebellion against the Most Gracious:

Then We shall pick out from every group those who will be most fearless against the Most Affectionate.

Then We shall indeed pick out from every group the one who had been most disobedient to, and rebellious against, the Most Kind (Lord)

And We truly know best who is most deserving of burning in it.

And surely We are Best Aware of those most worthy to be burned therein.

for, indeed, We know best as to which of them is most deserving of the fires of hell.

Then We know very well those who are worthiest to be roasted in the Fire.

And We know best those who are most deserving of being thrown into Hell

There is none of you who will not pass over it. ˹This is˺ a decree your Lord must fulfil.

There is not one of you but shall approach it. That is a fixed ordinance of thy Lord.

And every one of you will come within sight of it: this is, with thy Sustainer, a decree that must be fulfilled.

There is not one of you who may not pass over the Hell this is necessarily a decided thing for your Lord.

And there is none of you but will pass over Hell. This (promise,) which will certainly be fulfilled, is absolutely with your Lord

Then We will deliver those who were devout, leaving the wrongdoers there on their knees.

Then We shall rescue those who kept from evil, and leave the evil-doers crouching there.

And once again: We shall save [from hell] those who have been conscious of Us; but We shall leave in it the evildoers, on their knees.

Then We shall save the God fearing; and will leave the unjust in it falling on their knees.

Then We shall deliver the Godfearing, and shall leave the wrongdoers in it (Hell) down on their knees

When Our clear revelations are recited to them, the disbelievers ask the believers ˹mockingly˺, “Which of the two of us is better in position and superior in assembly?”

And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them, those who disbelieve say unto those who believe: Which of the two parties (yours or ours) is better in position, and more imposing as an army?

AS IT IS, whenever Our messages are conveyed to them in all their clarity, those who are bent on denying the truth are wont to say unto those who have attained to faith: "Which of the two kinds of man is in a stronger position and superior as a community?"

And when Our bright verses are recited to them, the infidels say to Muslims, 'which of the group's house is good and better in assembly.

And when Our enlightening Verses are recited to them, the disbelievers say to the believers: ‘(See in the selfsame world) which of us two groups has better housing and a more influential social circle.

˹Imagine, O Prophet˺ how many peoples We have destroyed before them, who were far better in luxury and splendour!

How many a generation have We destroyed before them, who were more imposing in respect of gear and outward seeming!

And yet, how many a generation have We destroyed before their time-[people] who surpassed them in material power and in outward show!

And how many generations We have destroyed before them, that they were better in goods and outward show than them.

And how many a people have We destroyed before them who were better off (than these) in worldly assets and pomp and show

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Whoever is ˹entrenched˺ in misguidance, the Most Compassionate will allow them plenty of time, until—behold!—they face what they are threatened with: either the torment or the Hour. Only then will they realize who is worse in position and inferior in manpower.”

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 doom), they will know who is worse in position and who is weaker as an army.

Say: "As for him who lives in error, may the Most Gracious lengthen the span of his life! [And let them say whatever they say until the time when they behold that [doom] of which they were forewarned-whether it be suffering [in this world] or [at the coming of] the Last Hour -: for then they will understand which [of the two kinds of man] was worse in station and weaker in resources!

Say you, 'one who is in error, then the Most Affectionate let loose him well until when they see that they are promised with, either the torment or the Hour. Now then, they will know whose position is worse and whose force is weak.

Say: ‘The Most Kind (Lord also) grants respite in age and luxury to the one who is lost in error until, when they see what they have been promised—the torment or the Day of Rising—then they will come to know him who is worse in respect of dwelling and (also) weaker in respect of troops.

And Allah increases in guidance those who are ˹rightly˺ guided. And the everlasting good deeds are far better with your Lord in reward and in outcome.

Allah increaseth in right guidance those who walk aright, and the good deeds which endure are better in thy Lord's sight for reward, and better for resort.

And God endows those who avail themselves of [His] guidance with an ever-deeper consciousness of the right way; and good deeds, the fruit whereof endures forever, are, in thy Sustainer's sight, of far greater merit [than any worldly goods], and yield far better returns.

And those who got guidance, Allah will increase them in guidance. And the abiding good things are excellent with your Lord in respect of reward and in respect of return.

Allah adds to the guidance of those who are guided aright. And in the sight of your Lord, the lasting pious deeds are better in respect of reward and (also) more valuable in terms of end result

Have you seen ˹O Prophet˺ the one who rejects Our revelations yet boasts, “I will definitely be granted ˹plenty of˺ wealth and children ˹if there is an afterlife˺.”?

Hast thou seen him who disbelieveth in Our revelations and saith: Assuredly I shall be given wealth and children?

And hast thou ever considered [the kind of man] who is bent on denying the truth of Our messages and says, "I will surely be given wealth and children"?

Have you seen him who has disbelieved in Our Signs and says, 'I shall surely be given wealth and children?'

Have you seen such a person that rejected Our Signs and said: ‘I shall certainly be given wealth and children (the same way, even on the Day of Resurrection)’

Has he looked into the unseen or taken a pledge from the Most Compassionate?

Hath he perused the Unseen, or hath he made a pact with the Beneficent?

Has he, perchance, attained to a realm which is beyond the reach of a created being's perception? or has he concluded a covenant with the Most Gracious?

Has he looked into the unseen or has he taken any covenant with the Most Affectionate?

Is he aware of the unseen, or has he taken any promise from the Most Kind (Lord)

Not at all! We certainly record whatever he claims and will increase his punishment extensively.

Nay, but We shall record that which he saith and prolong for him a span of torment.

Nay! We shall record what he says, and We shall lengthen the length of his suffering [in the hereafter],

Never, now We shall put in writing what he says and will prolong for him the torment.

No way! We shall keep writing down what he says, and shall keep increasing for him torment (upon torment)

And We will inherit what he boasts of, and he will come before Us all by himself.

And We shall inherit from him that whereof he spake, and he will come unto Us, alone (without his wealth and children).

and divest him of all that he is [now] speaking of: for [on Judgment Day] he will appear before Us in a lonely state.

And for whatever he is speaking, We shall inherit and he will come to Us alone.

And (after his death) We shall inherit from him what he proclaims, and he will come to Us all alone (without wealth and children)

They have taken other gods, instead of Allah, seeking strength ˹and protection˺ through them.

And they have chosen (other) gods beside Allah that they may be a power for them.

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

And they have taken other gods beside Allah that they may give them strength.

And they have taken (many other) gods apart from Allah so that they may be a source of honour for them

But no! Those ˹gods˺ will deny their worship and turn against them.

Nay, but they will deny their worship of them, and become opponents unto them.

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]!

Never, soon they will deny their worship and will become their opponents.

By no means! Soon will these (false gods themselves) reject their worship and become their enemies

Do you ˹O Prophet˺ not see that We have sent the devils against the disbelievers, constantly inciting them?

Seest thou not that We have set the devils on the disbelievers to confound them with confusion?

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?

Did you not see that We sent devils upon infidels, that they impel them well (towards sins)?

Have you not seen that We have sent satans upon the disbelievers? They keep rousing them (against Islam) all the time

So do not be in haste against them, for indeed We are ˹closely˺ counting down their days.

So make no haste against them (O Muhammad). We do but number unto them a sum (of days).

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

Then be not you in haste against them. We are completing their counting.

So do not make haste against them (for torment). We Ourselves keep counting the days (for their impending catastrophe)

˹Watch for˺ the Day We will gather the righteous before the Most Compassionate as an honoured delegation,

On the day when We shall gather the righteous unto the Beneficent, a goodly company.

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

The day We shall carry the duty-bound (pious) towards the Most Affectionate as guests

On the Day, when We shall assemble the Godfearing, and take them (as guests of honour) to the presence of the Most Kind (Lord) on carriages

and drive the wicked to Hell like a thirsty herd.

And drive the guilty unto hell, a weary herd,

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

And will drive the culprits towards the Hell thirsty.

And We shall drive the sinners thirsty towards Hell

None will have the right to intercede, except those who have taken a covenant from the Most Compassionate.

They will have no power of intercession, save him who hath made a covenant with his Lord.

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

The people are not the owner of intercession but only those who have taken a covenant with the Most Affectionate.

(On that Day,) people will not possess the authority to intercede, except those who have taken a promise (of intercession) from the Most Kind (Lord)

They say, “The Most Compassionate has offspring.”

And they say: The Beneficent hath taken unto Himself a son.

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

The infidels said, the Most Affectionate has taken a son'.

And (the disbelievers) say: ‘The Most Kind (Lord) has taken (to Himself) a son.

You have certainly made an outrageous claim,

Assuredly ye utter a disastrous thing

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

No doubt, you brought a thing of heavy limit. (Most evil)

(O disbelievers!) You have indeed brought most horrible and unusual evil (on your tongues)

by which the heavens are about to burst, the earth to split apart, and the mountains to crumble to pieces

Whereby almost the heavens are torn, and the earth is split asunder and the mountains fall in ruins,

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

It is near that the heavens may burst by it and the earth may crack down and the mountains fell down collapsed.

The heavens may just burst at this (fabricated lie) and the earth split asunder and the mountains fall down to pieces

in protest of attributing children to the Most Compassionate.

That ye ascribe unto the Beneficent a son,

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

That because they ascribed a son to the-Most Affectionate.

That they have attributed a son to the Most Kind (Lord)

It does not befit ˹the majesty of˺ the Most Compassionate to have children.

When it is not meet for (the Majesty of) the Beneficent that He should choose a son.

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

And it behaves not the Most Affectionate that he should take a son.

And it is not befitting the Glory of the Most Kind (Lord) to take (someone as) a son

There is none in the heavens or the earth who will not return to the Most Compassionate in full submission.

There is none in the heavens and the earth but cometh unto the Beneficent as a slave.

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

All who are in heavens and earth. They shall come to the Most Affectionate as bondmen.

Whoever is (dwelling) in the heavens and the earth (whether an angel, a jinn or a human being) will appear just as a servant before the Most Kind (Lord)

Indeed, He fully knows them and has counted them precisely.

Verily He knoweth them and numbereth them with (right) numbering.

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

No doubt, He knows their counting and has numbered them one by one.

(Allah) has surely encompassed them with His (knowledge) and has counted them thoroughly (i.e., numbering them one by one)

And each of them will return to Him on the Day of Judgment all alone.

And each one of them will come unto Him on the Day of Resurrection, alone.

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

And of them, every one will come to Him alone on the day of judgement.

And each one of them has to appear before His presence alone on the Day of Resurrection

As for those who believe and do good, the Most Compassionate will ˹certainly˺ bless them with ˹genuine˺ love.

Lo! those who believe and do good works, the Beneficent will appoint for them love.

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

Undoubtedly, those who believed and did good deeds soon the Most Affectionate will make for them love.

Surely, those who believed and did pious deeds, the Most Kind (Lord) will create love for them in the hearts (of the people)

Indeed, We have made this ˹Quran˺ easy in your own language ˹O Prophet˺ so with it you may give good news to the righteous and warn those who are contentious.

And We make (this Scripture) easy in thy tongue, (O Muhammad) only that thou mayst bear good tidings therewith unto those who ward off (evil), and warn therewith the froward folk.

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:

So We made this Quran quite easy in your tongue that you may give glad-tidings to the godfeary and you may warn thereby a contentious people.

So We have indeed made this (Qur’an) easy in your own tongue so that, by means of it, you may communicate good news to the Godfearing and may warn thereby the contentious people

˹Imagine˺ how many peoples We have destroyed before them! Do you ˹still˺ see any of them, or ˹even˺ hear from them the slightest sound?

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?

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?

And how many generations We destroyed before them. Do you see any one of them or you hear of them any whisper?

And how many a community have We destroyed before them! Do you perceive even a trace or hear even the faintest fizzle of any of them
