وَمَرۡيَمَ ٱبۡنَتَ عِمۡرَٰنَ ٱلَّتِيٓ أَحۡصَنَتۡ فَرۡجَهَا فَنَفَخۡنَا فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِنَا وَصَدَّقَتۡ بِكَلِمَٰتِ رَبِّهَا وَكُتُبِهِۦ وَكَانَتۡ مِنَ ٱلۡقَٰنِتِينَ 12

12 And (Allah gives example of) Maryam, the daughter of Imran, who guarded her chastity. So We breathed towards her (i.e. her clothes) through Our Ruh [i.e. Jibrael (Û)], and she testified the truth of the Words of her Creator [i.e. believed that Allah said: “Be.” And Isa ( peace be upon him )was there] and she testified the truth of His Scriptures, and she was from those who were obedient to Allah.

تَبَٰرَكَ ٱلَّذِي بِيَدِهِ ٱلۡمُلۡكُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٌ 1

1 Blessed is Allah in Whose Hand is the Kingdom, and He is Able to do all things.

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ وَٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ لِيَبۡلُوَكُمۡ أَيُّكُمۡ أَحۡسَنُ عَمَلٗاۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡغَفُورُ 2

2 Who has created death and life so that He may test you who are the best in conduct? (i.e. Death reminds of the Hereafter. Hence, it is a motivator for good conduct. Life is necessary to perform good deeds to earn good credit). And Allah is the All-Mighty, the Very-Forgiving.

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبۡعَ سَمَٰوَٰتٖ طِبَاقٗاۖ مَّا تَرَىٰ فِي خَلۡقِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ مِن تَفَٰوُتٖۖ فَٱرۡجِعِ ٱلۡبَصَرَ هَلۡ تَرَىٰ مِن فُطُورٖ 3

3 Who has created the seven heavens one above another, you cannot find any defect in the cre-ation of the Most Gracious. Then look (for defects) again: “Can you see any disorder?”

ثُمَّ ٱرۡجِعِ ٱلۡبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيۡنِ يَنقَلِبۡ إِلَيۡكَ ٱلۡبَصَرُ خَاسِئٗا وَهُوَ حَسِيرٞ 4

4 Then look (for defects) again and again. Your sight will return to you disgraced and fatigued.

وَلَقَدۡ زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا بِمَصَٰبِيحَ وَجَعَلۡنَٰهَا رُجُومٗا لِّلشَّيَٰطِينِۖ وَأَعۡتَدۡنَا لَهُمۡ عَذَابَ ٱلسَّعِيرِ 5

5 And (the proof of Our Power is that) We have decorated the nearest sky with stars and made them (the stars) the means of hitting (and driving away) the devils.

وَلِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِرَبِّهِمۡ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَۖ وَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ 6

6 And there is torment of Hell for those who disbelieve in their Creator, and it is a very bad destination

إِذَآ أُلۡقُواْ فِيهَا سَمِعُواْ لَهَا شَهِيقٗا وَهِيَ تَفُورُ 7

7 When they (the disbelievers) will be thrown in it (the Hell), they will hear it roaring and will find it churning (like the contents of a cooking pot on fire).

تَكَادُ تَمَيَّزُ مِنَ ٱلۡغَيۡظِۖ كُلَّمَآ أُلۡقِيَ فِيهَا فَوۡجٞ سَأَلَهُمۡ خَزَنَتُهَآ أَلَمۡ يَأۡتِكُمۡ نَذِيرٞ 8

8 It will appear to burst with rage anytime. Every time a group is thrown into Hell, the keepers of Hell will ask: “Did no warner come to you?”

قَالُواْ بَلَىٰ قَدۡ جَآءَنَا نَذِيرٞ فَكَذَّبۡنَا وَقُلۡنَا مَا نَزَّلَ ٱللَّهُ مِن شَيۡءٍ إِنۡ أَنتُمۡ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَٰلٖ كَبِيرٖ 9

9 They (the disbelievers) will say: “Yes, indeed, a warner did come to us, but we denied him and said: ‘Allah never sent down anything (as revelation). You are only in a big error.’”

وَقَالُواْ لَوۡ كُنَّا نَسۡمَعُ أَوۡ نَعۡقِلُ مَا كُنَّا فِيٓ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ 10

10 They (the disbelievers) will also say: “If we had listened (to the warner) or used our intelligence, we would not have been among the residents of the blazing fire!”

فَٱعۡتَرَفُواْ بِذَنۢبِهِمۡ فَسُحۡقٗا لِّأَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ 11

11 Hence, they will confess their sins. So the residents of the blazing Fire are far off (from the Mercy of Allah).

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخۡشَوۡنَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلۡغَيۡبِ لَهُم مَّغۡفِرَةٞ وَأَجۡرٞ كَبِيرٞ 12

12 Indeed, those who fear their Creator without seeing Him, there will be forgiveness and a great reward (i.e. Paradise).

وَأَسِرُّواْ قَوۡلَكُمۡ أَوِ ٱجۡهَرُواْ بِهِۦٓۖ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ 13

13 And whether you talk secretly or openly, Allah is, indeed, All-Knower of what is in your breasts.

أَلَا يَعۡلَمُ مَنۡ خَلَقَ وَهُوَ ٱللَّطِيفُ ٱلۡخَبِيرُ 14

14 Why should He Who created you not know? And He is the Most Kind, the Well Acquainted (with everything).

هُوَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ ذَلُولٗا فَٱمۡشُواْ فِي مَنَاكِبِهَا وَكُلُواْ مِن رِّزۡقِهِۦۖ وَإِلَيۡهِ ٱلنُّشُورُ 15

15 He has made the earth sub-servient to you so that you can travel on its paths and  may eat from His provisions. And you have to return to Him.

ءَأَمِنتُم مَّن فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ أَن يَخۡسِفَ بِكُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَمُورُ 16

16 Do you feel secure from Him, Who is over the heaven, that He may make you sink into the earth and then, all of a sudden, it starts shaking violently (too) (i.e. the earth which is for your benefit, Allah may use it to destroy you)?

أَمۡ أَمِنتُم مَّن فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ أَن يُرۡسِلَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ حَاصِبٗاۖ فَسَتَعۡلَمُونَ كَيۡفَ نَذِيرِ 17

17        Or do you have the security from Him Who is over the sky that He will not send down rain of stones upon you? Then you shall know how (important) was (My) Warning.

وَلَقَدۡ كَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ 18

18 And, indeed, the people before them also denied, then how terrible was (the punishment) of (My) denial?

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ إِلَى ٱلطَّيۡرِ فَوۡقَهُمۡ صَٰٓفَّٰتٖ وَيَقۡبِضۡنَۚ مَا يُمۡسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُۚ إِنَّهُۥ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءِۢ بَصِيرٌ 19

19 And don’t you see the birds, flying over you with their wings spread out and (at times) folded in? None holds them there except the Most Gracious (Allah). Indeed, He is All-Seer of everything.
