Surah Al-Mā'idah (The Table Spread) in English

1. قال عيسى ابن مريم اللهم ربنا أنزل علينا مائدة من السماء تكون لنا عيدا لأولنا وآخرنا وآية منك وارزقنا وأنت خير الرازقين

   114

   Said Jesus son of Mary, ‘O Allah! Our Lord! Send down to us a table from the sky, to be a festival for us, for the first ones and the last ones among us and as a sign from You, and provide for us; for You are the best of providers.’

   qāla ʿīsā bnu maryama llāhumma rabbanā ʾanzil ʿalaynā māʾidatan mina s-samāʾi takūnu lanā ʿīdan li-ʾawwalinā wa-ʾākhirinā wa-ʾāyatan minka wa-rzuqnā wa-ʾanta khayru r-rāziqīna

2. قال الله إني منزلها عليكم فمن يكفر بعد منكم فإني أعذبه عذابا لا أعذبه أحدا من العالمين

   115

   Allah said, ‘I will indeed send it down to you. But should any of you disbelieve after this, I will indeed punish him with a punishment such as I do not punish anyone in all creation.’

   qāla llāhu ʾinnī munazziluhā ʿalaykum fa-man yakfur baʿdu minkum fa-ʾinnī ʾuʿadhdhibuhū ʿadhāban lā ʾuʿadhdhibuhū ʾaḥadan mina l-ʿālamīna

3. وإذ قال الله يا عيسى ابن مريم أأنت قلت للناس اتخذوني وأمي إلهين من دون الله قال سبحانك ما يكون لي أن أقول ما ليس لي بحق إن كنت قلته فقد علمته تعلم ما في نفسي ولا أعلم ما في نفسك إنك أنت علام الغيوب

   116

   And when Allah will say, ‘O Jesus son of Mary! Was it you who said to the people, ‘‘Take me and my mother for gods besides Allah’’?’ He will say, ‘Immaculate are You! It does not behoove me to say what I have no right to [say]. Had I said it, You would certainly have known it: You know whatever is in my self, and I do not know what is in Your Self. Indeed, You are knower of all that is Unseen.

   wa-ʾidh qāla llāhu yā-ʿīsā bna maryama ʾa-ʾanta qulta li-n-nāsi ttakhidhūnī wa-ʾummī ʾilāhayni min dūni llāhi qāla subḥānaka mā yakūnu lī ʾan ʾaqūla mā laysa lī bi-ḥaqqin ʾin kuntu qultuhū fa-qad ʿalimtahū taʿlamu mā fī nafsī wa-lā ʾaʿlamu mā fī nafsika ʾinnaka ʾanta ʿallāmu l-ghuyūbi

4. ما قلت لهم إلا ما أمرتني به أن اعبدوا الله ربي وربكم وكنت عليهم شهيدا ما دمت فيهم فلما توفيتني كنت أنت الرقيب عليهم وأنت على كل شيء شهيد

   117

   I did not say to them [anything] except what You had commanded me [to say]: ‘‘Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.’’ And I was a witness to them so long as I was among them. But when You had taken me away, You Yourself were watchful over them, and You are witness to all things.

   mā qultu lahum ʾillā mā ʾamartanī bihī ʾani ʿbudū llāha rabbī wa-rabbakum wa-kuntu ʿalayhim shahīdan mā dumtu fīhim fa-lammā tawaffaytanī kunta ʾanta r-raqība ʿalayhim wa-ʾanta ʿalā kulli shayʾin shahīdun

5. إن تعذبهم فإنهم عبادك وإن تغفر لهم فإنك أنت العزيز الحكيم

   118

   If You punish them, they are indeed Your creatures; but if You forgive them, You are indeed the All-mighty, the All-wise.’

   ʾin tuʿadhdhibhum fa-ʾinnahum ʿibāduka wa-ʾin taghfir lahum fa-ʾinnaka ʾanta l-ʿazīzu l-ḥakīmu

6. قال الله هذا يوم ينفع الصادقين صدقهم لهم جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار خالدين فيها أبدا رضي الله عنهم ورضوا عنه ذلك الفوز العظيم

   119

   Allah will say, ‘This day truthfulness shall benefit the truthful. For them there will be gardens with streams running in them, to remain in them forever. Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. That is the great success.’

   qāla llāhu hādhā yawmu yanfaʿu ṣ-ṣādiqīna ṣidquhum lahum jannātun tajrī min taḥtihā l-ʾanhāru khālidīna fīhā ʾabadan raḍiya llāhu ʿanhum wa-raḍū ʿanhu dhālika l-fawzu l-ʿaẓīmu

7. لله ملك السماوات والأرض وما فيهن وهو على كل شيء قدير

   120

   To Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and whatever there is in them, and He has power over all things.

   li-llāhi mulku s-samāwāti wa-l-ʾarḍi wa-mā fīhinna wa-huwa ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīrun
