Surah Maryam (Mary) in English

1. أفرأيت الذي كفر بآياتنا وقال لأوتين مالا وولدا

   77

   Have you not regarded him who defies Our signs, and says, ‘I will surely be given wealth and children’?

   ʾa-fa-raʾayta lladhī kafara bi-ʾāyātinā wa-qāla la-ʾūtayanna mālan wa-waladan

2. أطلع الغيب أم اتخذ عند الرحمن عهدا

   78

   Has he come to know the Unseen, or taken a promise from the All-beneficent?

   ʾa-ṭṭalaʿa l-ghayba ʾami ttakhadha ʿinda r-raḥmāni ʿahdan

3. كلا سنكتب ما يقول ونمد له من العذاب مدا

   79

   No indeed! We will write down what he says, and We will prolong his punishment endlessly.

   kallā sa-naktubu mā yaqūlu wa-namuddu lahū mina l-ʿadhābi maddan

4. ونرثه ما يقول ويأتينا فردا

   80

   We shall take over from him what he talks about, and he will come to Us alone.

   wa-narithuhū mā yaqūlu wa-yaʾtīnā fardan

5. واتخذوا من دون الله آلهة ليكونوا لهم عزا

   81

   They have taken gods besides Allah that they may be a [source of] might to them.

   wa-ttakhadhū min dūni llāhi ʾālihatan li-yakūnū lahum ʿizzan

6. كلا سيكفرون بعبادتهم ويكونون عليهم ضدا

   82

   No Indeed! Soon they will disown their worship, and they will be their opponents.

   kallā sa-yakfurūna bi-ʿibādatihim wa-yakūnūna ʿalayhim ḍiddan

7. ألم تر أنا أرسلنا الشياطين على الكافرين تؤزهم أزا

   83

   Have you not regarded that We unleash the devils upon the faithless to urge them vigorously?

   ʾa-lam tara ʾannā ʾarsalnā sh-shayāṭīna ʿalā l-kāfirīna taʾuzzuhum ʾazzan

8. فلا تعجل عليهم إنما نعد لهم عدا

   84

   So do not make haste against them; indeed We are counting for them, a counting [down].

   fa-lā taʿjal ʿalayhim ʾinnamā naʿuddu lahum ʿaddan

9. يوم نحشر المتقين إلى الرحمن وفدا

   85

   The day We shall gather the Godwary toward the All-beneficent, on mounts,

   yawma naḥshuru l-muttaqīna ʾilā r-raḥmāni wafdan

10. ونسوق المجرمين إلى جهنم وردا

    86

    and drive the guilty as a thirsty herd towards hell,

    wa-nasūqu l-mujrimīna ʾilā jahannama wirdan

11. لا يملكون الشفاعة إلا من اتخذ عند الرحمن عهدا

    87

    no one will have the power to intercede [with Allah], except for him who has taken a covenant with the All-beneficent.

    lā yamlikūna sh-shafāʿata ʾillā mani ttakhadha ʿinda r-raḥmāni ʿahdan

12. وقالوا اتخذ الرحمن ولدا

    88

    They say, ‘The All-beneficent has taken a son!’

    wa-qālū ttakhadha r-raḥmānu waladan

13. لقد جئتم شيئا إدا

    89

    You have certainly advanced something hideous!

    la-qad jiʾtum shayʾan ʾiddan

14. تكاد السماوات يتفطرن منه وتنشق الأرض وتخر الجبال هدا

    90

    The heavens are about to be rent apart at it, the earth to split open, and the mountains to collapse into bits,

    takādu s-samāwātu yatafaṭṭarna minhu wa-tanshaqqu l-ʾarḍu wa-takhirru l-jibālu haddan

15. أن دعوا للرحمن ولدا

    91

    that they should ascribe a son to the All-beneficent!

    ʾan daʿaw li-r-raḥmāni waladan

16. وما ينبغي للرحمن أن يتخذ ولدا

    92

    It does not behoove the All-beneficent to take a son.

    wa-mā yanbaghī li-r-raḥmāni ʾan yattakhidha waladan

17. إن كل من في السماوات والأرض إلا آتي الرحمن عبدا

    93

    There is none in the heavens and the earth but he comes to the All-beneficent as a servant.

    ʾin kullu man fī s-samāwāti wa-l-ʾarḍi ʾillā ʾātī r-raḥmāni ʿabdan

18. لقد أحصاهم وعدهم عدا

    94

    Certainly He has counted them [all] and numbered them precisely,

    la-qad ʾaḥṣāhum wa-ʿaddahum ʿaddan

19. وكلهم آتيه يوم القيامة فردا

    95

    and each of them will come to Him alone on the Day of Resurrection.

    wa-kulluhum ʾātīhi yawma l-qiyāmati fardan
