Maryam

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 1

كٓهيعٓصٓ

(1) Kāf, Hā, Yā, ʿAyn, Ṣād.^[806]

[806]- See footnote to 2:1.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 2

ذِكۡرُ رَحۡمَتِ رَبِّكَ عَبۡدَهُۥ زَكَرِيَّآ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 3

إِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُۥ نِدَآءً خَفِيّٗا

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 4

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي وَهَنَ ٱلۡعَظۡمُ مِنِّي وَٱشۡتَعَلَ ٱلرَّأۡسُ شَيۡبٗا وَلَمۡ أَكُنۢ بِدُعَآئِكَ رَبِّ شَقِيّٗا

(4) He said, "My Lord, indeed my bones have weakened, and my head has filled^[807] with white, and never have I been in my supplication to You, my Lord, unhappy [i.e., disappointed].

[807]- Literally, "ignited." The spread of white hair throughout the head is likened to that of fire in the bush.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 5

وَإِنِّي خِفۡتُ ٱلۡمَوَٰلِيَ مِن وَرَآءِي وَكَانَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتِي عَاقِرٗا فَهَبۡ لِي مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيّٗا

(5) And indeed, I fear the successors^[808] after me, and my wife has been barren, so give me from Yourself an heir

[808]- Those relatives from the father's side who would inherit religious authority.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 6

يَرِثُنِي وَيَرِثُ مِنۡ ءَالِ يَعۡقُوبَۖ وَٱجۡعَلۡهُ رَبِّ رَضِيّٗا

(6) Who will inherit me^[809] and inherit from the family of Jacob. And make him, my Lord, pleasing [to You]."

[809]- Inherit from me religious knowledge and prophethood.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 7

يَٰزَكَرِيَّآ إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلَٰمٍ ٱسۡمُهُۥ يَحۡيَىٰ لَمۡ نَجۡعَل لَّهُۥ مِن قَبۡلُ سَمِيّٗا

(7) [He was told],^[810] "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."

[810]- By Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) through the angels.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 8

قَالَ رَبِّ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِي غُلَٰمٞ وَكَانَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتِي عَاقِرٗا وَقَدۡ بَلَغۡتُ مِنَ ٱلۡكِبَرِ عِتِيّٗا

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 9

قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ قَالَ رَبُّكَ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٞ وَقَدۡ خَلَقۡتُكَ مِن قَبۡلُ وَلَمۡ تَكُ شَيۡـٔٗا

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 10

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱجۡعَل لِّيٓ ءَايَةٗۖ قَالَ ءَايَتُكَ أَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ ٱلنَّاسَ ثَلَٰثَ لَيَالٖ سَوِيّٗا

(10) [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."^[811]

[811]- i.e., without illness or defect.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 11

فَخَرَجَ عَلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلۡمِحۡرَابِ فَأَوۡحَىٰٓ إِلَيۡهِمۡ أَن سَبِّحُواْ بُكۡرَةٗ وَعَشِيّٗا

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 12

يَٰيَحۡيَىٰ خُذِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ بِقُوَّةٖۖ وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ ٱلۡحُكۡمَ صَبِيّٗا

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 13

وَحَنَانٗا مِّن لَّدُنَّا وَزَكَوٰةٗۖ وَكَانَ تَقِيّٗا

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 14

وَبَرَّۢا بِوَٰلِدَيۡهِ وَلَمۡ يَكُن جَبَّارًا عَصِيّٗا

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 15

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَيۡهِ يَوۡمَ وُلِدَ وَيَوۡمَ يَمُوتُ وَيَوۡمَ يُبۡعَثُ حَيّٗا

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 16

وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ مَرۡيَمَ إِذِ ٱنتَبَذَتۡ مِنۡ أَهۡلِهَا مَكَانٗا شَرۡقِيّٗا

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 17

فَٱتَّخَذَتۡ مِن دُونِهِمۡ حِجَابٗا فَأَرۡسَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡهَا رُوحَنَا فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهَا بَشَرٗا سَوِيّٗا

(17) 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.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 18

قَالَتۡ إِنِّيٓ أَعُوذُ بِٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ مِنكَ إِن كُنتَ تَقِيّٗا

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 19

قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ رَسُولُ رَبِّكِ لِأَهَبَ لَكِ غُلَٰمٗا زَكِيّٗا

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 20

قَالَتۡ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِي غُلَٰمٞ وَلَمۡ يَمۡسَسۡنِي بَشَرٞ وَلَمۡ أَكُ بَغِيّٗا

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 21

قَالَ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٞۖ وَلِنَجۡعَلَهُۥٓ ءَايَةٗ لِّلنَّاسِ وَرَحۡمَةٗ مِّنَّاۚ وَكَانَ أَمۡرٗا مَّقۡضِيّٗا

(21) 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.'"

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 22

۞ فَحَمَلَتۡهُ فَٱنتَبَذَتۡ بِهِۦ مَكَانٗا قَصِيّٗا

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 23

فَأَجَآءَهَا ٱلۡمَخَاضُ إِلَىٰ جِذۡعِ ٱلنَّخۡلَةِ قَالَتۡ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي مِتُّ قَبۡلَ هَٰذَا وَكُنتُ نَسۡيٗا مَّنسِيّٗا

(23) 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."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 24

فَنَادَىٰهَا مِن تَحۡتِهَآ أَلَّا تَحۡزَنِي قَدۡ جَعَلَ رَبُّكِ تَحۡتَكِ سَرِيّٗا

(24) But he^[812] called her from below her, "Do not grieve; your Lord has provided beneath you a stream.

[812]- There is a difference of opinion among scholars as to whether "he" refers to the baby or to the angel.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 25

وَهُزِّيٓ إِلَيۡكِ بِجِذۡعِ ٱلنَّخۡلَةِ تُسَٰقِطۡ عَلَيۡكِ رُطَبٗا جَنِيّٗا

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 26

فَكُلِي وَٱشۡرَبِي وَقَرِّي عَيۡنٗاۖ فَإِمَّا تَرَيِنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡبَشَرِ أَحَدٗا فَقُولِيٓ إِنِّي نَذَرۡتُ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ صَوۡمٗا فَلَنۡ أُكَلِّمَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ إِنسِيّٗا

(26) 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.'"

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 27

فَأَتَتۡ بِهِۦ قَوۡمَهَا تَحۡمِلُهُۥۖ قَالُواْ يَٰمَرۡيَمُ لَقَدۡ جِئۡتِ شَيۡـٔٗا فَرِيّٗا

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 28

يَٰٓأُخۡتَ هَٰرُونَ مَا كَانَ أَبُوكِ ٱمۡرَأَ سَوۡءٖ وَمَا كَانَتۡ أُمُّكِ بَغِيّٗا

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 29

فَأَشَارَتۡ إِلَيۡهِۖ قَالُواْ كَيۡفَ نُكَلِّمُ مَن كَانَ فِي ٱلۡمَهۡدِ صَبِيّٗا

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 30

قَالَ إِنِّي عَبۡدُ ٱللَّهِ ءَاتَىٰنِيَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَجَعَلَنِي نَبِيّٗا

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 31

وَجَعَلَنِي مُبَارَكًا أَيۡنَ مَا كُنتُ وَأَوۡصَٰنِي بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱلزَّكَوٰةِ مَا دُمۡتُ حَيّٗا

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 32

وَبَرَّۢا بِوَٰلِدَتِي وَلَمۡ يَجۡعَلۡنِي جَبَّارٗا شَقِيّٗا

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 33

وَٱلسَّلَٰمُ عَلَيَّ يَوۡمَ وُلِدتُّ وَيَوۡمَ أَمُوتُ وَيَوۡمَ أُبۡعَثُ حَيّٗا

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 34

ذَٰلِكَ عِيسَى ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ قَوۡلَ ٱلۡحَقِّ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ يَمۡتَرُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 35

مَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ مِن وَلَدٖۖ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥٓۚ إِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمۡرٗا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ

(35) It is not [befitting] for Allāh to take a son; exalted is He!^[813] When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, "Be," and it is.

[813]- i.e., far removed is He from any such need.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 36

وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكُمۡ فَٱعۡبُدُوهُۚ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٞ مُّسۡتَقِيمٞ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 37

فَٱخۡتَلَفَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِهِمۡۖ فَوَيۡلٞ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن مَّشۡهَدِ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٍ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 38

أَسۡمِعۡ بِهِمۡ وَأَبۡصِرۡ يَوۡمَ يَأۡتُونَنَا لَٰكِنِ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ فِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٖ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 39

وَأَنذِرۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡحَسۡرَةِ إِذۡ قُضِيَ ٱلۡأَمۡرُ وَهُمۡ فِي غَفۡلَةٖ وَهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ

(39) And warn them, [O Muḥammad], of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded;^[814] and [yet], they are in [a state of] heedlessness, and they do not believe.

[814]- i.e., "judged" or "accomplished."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 40

إِنَّا نَحۡنُ نَرِثُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَنۡ عَلَيۡهَا وَإِلَيۡنَا يُرۡجَعُونَ

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 41

وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صِدِّيقٗا نَّبِيًّا

(41) And mention in the Book [the story of] Abraham. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 42

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ يَٰٓأَبَتِ لِمَ تَعۡبُدُ مَا لَا يَسۡمَعُ وَلَا يُبۡصِرُ وَلَا يُغۡنِي عَنكَ شَيۡـٔٗا

(42) [Mention] when he said to his father, "O my father, why do you worship that which does not hear and does not see and will not benefit you at all?

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 43

يَٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّي قَدۡ جَآءَنِي مِنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِ مَا لَمۡ يَأۡتِكَ فَٱتَّبِعۡنِيٓ أَهۡدِكَ صِرَٰطٗا سَوِيّٗا

(43) O my father, indeed there has come to me of knowledge that which has not come to you, so follow me; I will guide you to an even path.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 44

يَٰٓأَبَتِ لَا تَعۡبُدِ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَۖ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَ كَانَ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ عَصِيّٗا

(44) O my father, do not worship [i.e., obey] Satan. Indeed Satan has ever been, to the Most Merciful, disobedient.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 45

يَٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ أَن يَمَسَّكَ عَذَابٞ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ فَتَكُونَ لِلشَّيۡطَٰنِ وَلِيّٗا

(45) O my father, indeed I fear that there will touch you a punishment from the Most Merciful so you would be to Satan a companion [in Hellfire]."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 46

قَالَ أَرَاغِبٌ أَنتَ عَنۡ ءَالِهَتِي يَٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُۖ لَئِن لَّمۡ تَنتَهِ لَأَرۡجُمَنَّكَۖ وَٱهۡجُرۡنِي مَلِيّٗا

(46) [His father] said, "Have you no desire for my gods, O Abraham? If you do not desist, I will surely stone you, so avoid me a prolonged time."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 47

قَالَ سَلَٰمٌ عَلَيۡكَۖ سَأَسۡتَغۡفِرُ لَكَ رَبِّيٓۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ بِي حَفِيّٗا

(47) [Abraham] said, "Peace [i.e., safety] will be upon you.^[815] I will ask forgiveness for you of my Lord. Indeed, He is ever gracious to me.

[815]- Meaning "You are secure" or "I will not harm you."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 48

وَأَعۡتَزِلُكُمۡ وَمَا تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَدۡعُواْ رَبِّي عَسَىٰٓ أَلَّآ أَكُونَ بِدُعَآءِ رَبِّي شَقِيّٗا

(48) And I will leave you and those you invoke other than Allāh and will invoke^[816] my Lord. I expect that I will not be in invocation to my Lord unhappy [i.e., disappointed]."

[816]- i.e., worship.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 49

فَلَمَّا ٱعۡتَزَلَهُمۡ وَمَا يَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَهَبۡنَا لَهُۥٓ إِسۡحَٰقَ وَيَعۡقُوبَۖ وَكُلّٗا جَعَلۡنَا نَبِيّٗا

(49) So when he had left them and those they worshipped other than Allāh, We gave him Isaac and Jacob, and each [of them] We made a prophet.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 50

وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهُم مِّن رَّحۡمَتِنَا وَجَعَلۡنَا لَهُمۡ لِسَانَ صِدۡقٍ عَلِيّٗا

(50) And We gave them of Our mercy, and We made for them a mention [i.e., reputation] of high honor.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 51

وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ مُوسَىٰٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مُخۡلَصٗا وَكَانَ رَسُولٗا نَّبِيّٗا

(51) And mention in the Book, Moses. Indeed, he was chosen, and he was a messenger and a prophet.^[817]

[817]- A messenger (rasūl) is one who was charged by Allāh to reform society. A prophet (nabī) is one who received revelation from Allāh, the latter being more numerous than the former.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 52

وَنَٰدَيۡنَٰهُ مِن جَانِبِ ٱلطُّورِ ٱلۡأَيۡمَنِ وَقَرَّبۡنَٰهُ نَجِيّٗا

(52) And We called him from the side of the mount^[818] at [his] right and brought him near, confiding [to him].

[818]- Mount Sinai.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 53

وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهُۥ مِن رَّحۡمَتِنَآ أَخَاهُ هَٰرُونَ نَبِيّٗا

(53) And We gave him out of Our mercy his brother Aaron as a prophet.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 54

وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ إِسۡمَٰعِيلَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صَادِقَ ٱلۡوَعۡدِ وَكَانَ رَسُولٗا نَّبِيّٗا

(54) And mention in the Book, Ishmael. Indeed, he was true to his promise, and he was a messenger and a prophet.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 55

وَكَانَ يَأۡمُرُ أَهۡلَهُۥ بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱلزَّكَوٰةِ وَكَانَ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦ مَرۡضِيّٗا

(55) And he used to enjoin on his people prayer and zakāh and was to his Lord pleasing [i.e., accepted by Him].

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 56

وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ إِدۡرِيسَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صِدِّيقٗا نَّبِيّٗا

(56) And mention in the Book, Idrees. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 57

وَرَفَعۡنَٰهُ مَكَانًا عَلِيًّا

(57) And We raised him to a high station.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 58

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنۡعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ مِن ذُرِّيَّةِ ءَادَمَ وَمِمَّنۡ حَمَلۡنَا مَعَ نُوحٖ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّةِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ وَمِمَّنۡ هَدَيۡنَا وَٱجۡتَبَيۡنَآۚ إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ خَرُّواْۤ سُجَّدٗاۤ وَبُكِيّٗا۩

(58) Those were the ones upon whom Allāh bestowed favor from among the prophets of the descendants of Adam and of those We carried [in the ship] with Noah, and of the descendants of Abraham and Israel [i.e., Jacob], and of those whom We guided and chose. When the verses of the Most Merciful were recited to them, they fell in prostration and weeping.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 59

۞ فَخَلَفَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ خَلۡفٌ أَضَاعُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَٱتَّبَعُواْ ٱلشَّهَوَٰتِۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَلۡقَوۡنَ غَيًّا

(59) But there came after them successors [i.e., later generations] who neglected prayer and pursued desires; so they are going to meet evil^[819] -

[819]- Described as a valley in Hell or may be rendered "the consequence of error."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 60

إِلَّا مَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يَدۡخُلُونَ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَلَا يُظۡلَمُونَ شَيۡـٔٗا

(60) Except those who repent, believe and do righteousness; for those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged at all.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 61

جَنَّٰتِ عَدۡنٍ ٱلَّتِي وَعَدَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ عِبَادَهُۥ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ وَعۡدُهُۥ مَأۡتِيّٗا

(61) [Therein are] gardens of perpetual residence which the Most Merciful has promised His servants in the unseen. Indeed, His promise has ever been eminent.^[820]

[820]- Literally, "that to which all will come."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 62

لَّا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغۡوًا إِلَّا سَلَٰمٗاۖ وَلَهُمۡ رِزۡقُهُمۡ فِيهَا بُكۡرَةٗ وَعَشِيّٗا

(62) They will not hear therein any ill speech - only [greetings of] peace - and they will have their provision therein, morning and afternoon.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 63

تِلۡكَ ٱلۡجَنَّةُ ٱلَّتِي نُورِثُ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا مَن كَانَ تَقِيّٗا

(63) That is Paradise, which We give as inheritance to those of Our servants who were fearing of Allāh.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 64
