19. Surah Maryam

Kāf, Hā, Yā, ʿAyn, Ṣād.1

— Saheeh International

[This is] a mention of the mercy of your Lord to His servant Zechariah

— Saheeh International

When he called to his Lord a private call [i.e., supplication].

— Saheeh International

He said, "My Lord, indeed my bones have weakened, and my head has filled1 with white, and never have I been in my supplication to You, my Lord, unhappy [i.e., disappointed].

— Saheeh International

And indeed, I fear the successors1 after me, and my wife has been barren, so give me from Yourself an heir

— Saheeh International

Who will inherit me1 and inherit from the family of Jacob. And make him, my Lord, pleasing [to You]."

— Saheeh International

[He was told],1 "O Zechariah, indeed We give you good tidings of a boy whose name will be John. We have not assigned to any before [this] name."

— Saheeh International

He said, "My Lord, how will I have a boy when my wife has been barren and I have reached extreme old age?"

— Saheeh International

[An angel] said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, for I created you before, while you were nothing.'"

— Saheeh International

[Zechariah] said, "My Lord, make for me a sign." He said, "Your sign is that you will not speak to the people for three nights, [being] sound."1

— Saheeh International

So he came out to his people from the prayer chamber and signaled to them to exalt [Allāh] in the morning and afternoon.

— Saheeh International

[Allāh said], "O John, take the Scripture [i.e., adhere to it] with determination." And We gave him judgement [while yet] a boy

— Saheeh International

And affection from Us and purity, and he was fearing of Allāh

— Saheeh International

And dutiful to his parents, and he was not a disobedient tyrant.

— Saheeh International

And peace be upon him the day he was born and the day he dies and the day he is raised alive.

— Saheeh International

And mention, [O Muḥammad], in the Book [the story of] Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place toward the east.

— Saheeh International

And she took, in seclusion from them, a screen. Then We sent to her Our Angel [i.e., Gabriel], and he represented himself to her as a well-proportioned man.

— Saheeh International

She said, "Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, [so leave me], if you should be fearing of Allāh."

— Saheeh International

He said, "I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy [i.e., son]."

— Saheeh International

She said, "How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste?"

— Saheeh International

He said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter [already] decreed.'"

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She said, "Oh, I wish I had died before this and was in oblivion, forgotten."

— Saheeh International

But he1 called her from below her, "Do not grieve; your Lord has provided beneath you a stream.

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

So eat and drink and be contented. And if you see from among humanity anyone, say, 'Indeed, I have vowed to the Most Merciful abstention, so I will not speak today to [any] man.'"

— Saheeh International

Then she brought him to her people, carrying him. They said, "O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented.

— Saheeh International

O sister [i.e., descendant] of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste."

— Saheeh International

So she pointed to him. They said, "How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?"

— Saheeh International

[Jesus] said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allāh. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet.

— Saheeh International

And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and zakāh as long as I remain alive

— Saheeh International

And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant.

— Saheeh International

And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive."

— Saheeh International

That is Jesus, the son of Mary - the word of truth about which they are in dispute.

— Saheeh International

It is not [befitting] for Allāh to take a son; exalted is He!1 When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, "Be," and it is.

— Saheeh International

[Jesus said], "And indeed, Allāh is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path."

— Saheeh International

Then the factions differed [concerning Jesus] from among them, so woe to those who disbelieved - from the scene of a tremendous Day.

— Saheeh International

How [clearly] they will hear and see the Day they come to Us, but the wrongdoers today are in clear error.

— Saheeh International

And warn them, [O Muḥammad], of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded;1 and [yet], they are in [a state of] heedlessness, and they do not believe.

— Saheeh International

Indeed, it is We who will inherit the earth and whoever is on it, and to Us they will be returned.

— Saheeh International
