19:2A mention of the mercy of your Lord towards His servant Zechariah.

19:3When he called on his Lord, a call in seclusion.

19:4He said, “My Lord, my bones have become feeble, and my hair is aflame with gray, and never, Lord, have I been disappointed in my prayer to you.

19:5“And I fear for my dependents after me, and my wife is barren. So grant me, from Yourself, an heir.

19:7“O Zechariah, We give you good news of a son, whose name is John, a name We have never given before.”

19:8He said, “My Lord, how can I have a son, when my wife is barren, and I have become decrepit with old age?”

19:9He said, “It will be so, your Lord says, ‘it is easy for me, and I created you before, when you were nothing.’”

19:10He said, “My Lord, give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you will not speak to the people for three nights straight.”

19:11And he came out to his people, from the sanctuary, and signaled to them to praise morning and evening.

19:12“O John, hold on to the Scripture firmly,” and We gave him wisdom in his youth.

19:14And kind to his parents; and he was not a disobedient tyrant.

19:15And peace be upon him the day he was born, and the day he dies, and the Day he is raised alive.

19:21He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“

19:23The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.”

19:28O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.”

19:32And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel.

19:33So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.”

19:34That is Jesus son of Mary—the Word of truth about which they doubt.

19:35It is not for God to have a child—glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes.

19:36“God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”

19:37But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day.

19:38Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost.

19:40It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned.

19:42He said to his father, “O my father, why do you worship what can neither hear, nor see, nor benefit you in any way?

19:44O my father, do not worship the devil. The devil is disobedient to the Most Gracious.

19:45O my father, I fear that a punishment from the Most Gracious will afflict you, and you become an ally of the devil.”

19:46He said, “Are you renouncing my gods, O Abraham? If you do not desist, I will stone you. So leave me alone for a while.”

19:48And I will withdraw from you, and from what you pray to instead of God. And I will pray to my Lord, and I hope I will not be disappointed in my prayer to my Lord.”

19:49When he withdrew from them, and from what they worship besides God, We granted him Isaac and Jacob. And each We made a prophet.

19:53And We granted him, out of Our mercy, his brother Aaron, a prophet.

19:54And mention in the Scripture Ishmael. He was true to his promise, and was a messenger, a prophet.

19:55And he used to enjoin on his people prayer and charity, and he was pleasing to his Lord.

19:57And We raised him to a high position.

19:58These are some of the prophets God has blessed, from the descendants of Adam, and from those We carried with Noah, and from the descendants of Abraham and Israel, and from those We guided and selected. Whenever the revelations of the Most Gracious are recited to them, they would fall down, prostrating and weeping.

19:60Except for those who repent, and believe, and act righteously. These will enter Paradise, and will not be wronged in the least.

19:61The Gardens of Eden, promised by the Most Merciful to His servants in the Unseen. His promise will certainly come true.

19:62They will hear no nonsense therein, but only peace. And they will have their provision therein, morning and evening.

19:63Such is Paradise which We will give as inheritance to those of Our servants who are devout.

19:64“We do not descend except by the command of your Lord. His is what is before us, and what is behind us, and what is between them. Your Lord is never forgetful.”

19:65Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them. So worship Him, and persevere in His service. Do you know of anyone equal to Him?

19:71There is not one of you but will go down to it. This has been an unavoidable decree of your Lord.

19:73When Our clear revelations are recited to them, those who disbelieve say to those who believe, “Which of the two parties is better in position, and superior in influence?”

19:75Say, “Whoever is in error, the Most Merciful will lead him on.” Until, when they see what they were promised—either the punishment, or the Hour. Then they will know who was in worse position and weaker in forces.

19:78Did he look into the future, or did he receive a promise from the Most Merciful?

19:83Have you not considered how We dispatch the devils against the disbelievers, exciting them with incitement?

19:92It is not fitting for the Most Merciful to have a son.

19:93There is none in the heavens and the earth but will come to the Most Merciful as a servant.

19:98How many a generation have We destroyed before them? Can you feel a single one of them, or hear from them the slightest whisper?
