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.

19:7“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?”

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

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

19:16And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location.

19:19He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.”

19:20She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?”

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.”

19:24Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you.

19:26“So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“

19:27Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible.

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

19:31And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live.

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.

19:37But 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.

19:39And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe.

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

19:41And mention in the Scripture Abraham. He was a man of truth, a prophet.

19:43O my father, there has come to me knowledge that never came to you. So follow me, and I will guide you along a straight way.

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.”

19:47He said, “Peace be upon you. I will ask my Lord to forgive you; He has been Kind to me.

19:50And We gave them freely of Our mercy, and gave them a noble reputation of truth.

19:51And mention in the Scripture Moses. He was dedicated. He was a messenger and a prophet.

19:52And We called him from the right side of the Mount, and brought him near in communion.

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.

19:56And mention in the Scripture Enoch. He was a man of truth, a prophet.

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.

19:59But they were succeeded by generations who lost the prayers and followed their appetites. They will meet perdition.

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

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

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?

19:68By your Lord, We will round them up, and the devils, then We will bring them around Hell, on their knees.

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

19:72Then We will rescue those who were devout, and leave the wrongdoers in it, on their knees.

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?”

19:74How many a generation have We destroyed before them, who surpassed them in riches and splendor?

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.

19:77Have you seen him who denied Our revelations, and said, “I will be given wealth and children”?

19:79No indeed! We will write what he says, and will keep extending the agony for him.

19:80Then We will inherit from him what he speaks of, and he will come to Us alone.

19:82By no means! They will reject their worship of them, and become opponents to them.

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

19:85On the Day when We will gather the righteous to the Most Merciful, as guests.

19:87They will have no power of intercession, except for someone who has an agreement with the Most Merciful.

19:88And they say, “The Most Merciful has begotten a son.”

19:89You have come up with something monstrous.

19:91Because they attribute a son to the Most Merciful.

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.

19:94He has enumerated them, and counted them one by one.

19:95And each one of them will come to Him on the Day of Resurrection alone.

19:97We made it easy in your tongue, in order to deliver good news to the righteous, and to warn with it a hostile people.

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?
