A mention of the mercy of thy Lord unto His servant Zachariah.
Zikru rahmati Rabbika 'abdahoo Zakariyya
When he cried unto his Lord a cry in secret,

Qaala Rabbi innee wahanal'azmu minnee washta'alar raasu shaibanw wa lam akum bidu'aaa'ika Rabbi shaqiyyaa

Wa innee khiftul mawaa liya minw waraaa'ee wa kaana tim ra atee 'aairan fahab lee mil ladunka waliyyaa
Who shall inherit of me and inherit (also) of the house of Jacob. And make him, my Lord, acceptable (unto Thee).

Qaala Rabbi annaa yakoonu lee ghulaamunw wa kaanatim ra atee aaqiranw wa qad balaghtu minal kibari 'itiyyaa
He said: So (it will be). Thy Lord saith: It is easy for Me, even as I created thee before, when thou wast naught.
Qaala kazaalika qaala Rabbuka huwa 'alaiya haiyinunw wa qad khalaqtuka min qablu wa lam taku shai'aa
He said: My Lord! Appoint for me some token. He said: Thy token is that thou, with no bodily defect, shalt not speak unto mankind three nights.

Fakharaja 'alaa qawmihee minal mihraabi fa-awhaaa ilaihim an sabbihoo bukratanw wa 'ashiyyaa
(And it was said unto his son): O John! Hold fast the Scripture. And we gave him wisdom when a child,
Yaa Yahyaa khuzil Kitaaba biquwwatinw wa aatainaahul hukma saiyyaa
And compassion from Our presence, and purity; and he was devout,
Wa hanaanam mil ladunnaa wa zakaatanw wa kaana taqiyyaa
And dutiful toward his parents. And he was not arrogant, rebellious.
Wa barram biwaalidayhi wa lam yakum jabbaaran 'asiyyaa
Peace on him the day he was born, and the day he dieth and the day he shall be raised alive!
Wa salaamun 'alaihi yawma wulida wa yawma yamootu wa yawma yub'asu haiyaa
And make mention of Mary in the Scripture, when she had withdrawn from her people to a chamber looking East,
Wazkur fil Kitaabi Marya; izin tabazat min ahlihaa makaanan shariqyyaa

She said: How can I have a son when no mortal hath touched me, neither have I been unchaste?
Qaalat anna yakoonu lee ghulaamunw wa lam yamsasnee bashrunw wa lam aku baghiyyaa
He said: So (it will be). Thy Lord saith: It is easy for Me. And (it will be) that We may make of him a revelation for mankind and a mercy from Us, and it is a thing ordained.
Qaala kazaaliki qaala Rabbuki huwa 'alaiya yaiyimunw wa linaj 'alahooo Aayatal linnaasi wa rahmatam minnaa; wa kaana amram maqdiyyaa
And she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a far place.
Fahamalat hu fantabazat bihee makaanan qasiyyaa
And the pangs of childbirth drove her unto the trunk of the palm-tree. She said: Oh, would that I had died ere this and had become a thing of naught, forgotten!
Fa ajaaa 'ahal makhaadu ilaa jiz'in nakhlati qaalat yaa laitanee mittu qabla haazaa wa kuntu nasyam mansiyyaa
Then (one) cried unto her from below her, saying: Grieve not! Thy Lord hath placed a rivulet beneath thee,
Fanaadaahaa min tahtihaan allaa tahzanee qad ja'ala Rabbuki tahtaki sariyyaa
And shake the trunk of the palm-tree toward thee, thou wilt cause ripe dates to fall upon thee.
Wa huzzeee ilaiki bijiz 'in nakhlati tusaaqit 'alaiki rutaban janiyyaa
So eat and drink and be consoled. And if thou meetest any mortal, say: Lo! I have vowed a fast unto the Beneficent, and may not speak this day to any mortal.

He spake: Lo! I am the slave of Allah. He hath given me the Scripture and hath appointed me a Prophet,
Qaala innee 'abdullaahi aataaniyal Kitaaba wa ja'alanee Nabiyyaa
And hath made me blessed wheresoever I may be, and hath enjoined upon me prayer and almsgiving so long as I remain alive,
Wa ja'alanee mubaarakan aina maa kuntu wa awsaanee bis Salaati waz Zakaati maa dumtu haiyaa
And (hath made me) dutiful toward her who bore me, and hath not made me arrogant, unblest.

Peace on me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive!

Such was Jesus, son of Mary: (this is) a statement of the truth concerning which they doubt.
Zaalika 'Eesab-nu Marya; qawlal haqqil lazee feehi yamtaroon
It befitteth not (the Majesty of) Allah that He should take unto Himself a son. Glory be to Him! When He decreeth a thing, He saith unto it only: Be! and it is.
Maa kaana lillaahi ai yattakhiza minw waladin Subhaanah; izaa qadaaa amran fa innamaa yaqoolu lahoo kun fa yakoon
And lo! Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So serve Him. That is the right path.

Wa a'tazilukum wa maa tad'oona min doonil laahi wa ad'o Rabbee 'asaaa allaaa akoona bidu'aaa'i Rabbee shaqiyyaa
So, when he had withdrawn from them and that which they were worshipping beside Allah, We gave him Isaac and Jacob. Each of them We made a prophet.

These are they unto whom Allah showed favour from among the prophets, of the seed of Adam and of those whom We carried (in the ship) with Noah, and of the seed of Abraham and Israel, and from among those whom We guided and chose. When the revelations of the Beneficent were recited unto them, they fell down, adoring and weeping.
Ulaaa'ikal lazeena an'amal laahu 'alaihim minan Nabiyyeena min zurriyyati Aadama wa mimman hamalnaa ma'a Noohinw wa min zurriyyati Ibraaheema wa Israaa'eela wa mimman hadainaa wajta bainaaa; izaa tutlaa 'alaihim Aayaatur Rahmaani kharroo sujjadanw wa bukiyyaa

Such is the Garden which We cause the devout among Our bondmen to inherit.
Tilkal jannatul latee oorisu min 'ibaadinaa man kaana taqiyyaa
We (angels) come not down save by commandment of thy Lord. Unto Him belongeth all that is before us and all that is behind us and all that is between those two, and thy Lord was never forgetful -

Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them! Therefor, worship thou Him and be thou steadfast in His service. Knowest thou one that can be named along with Him?

Then We shall rescue those who kept from evil, and leave the evil-doers crouching there.
Summa nunajjil lazeenat taqaw wa nazaruz zaalimeena feehaa jisiyyaa
And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them, those who disbelieve say unto those who believe: Which of the two parties (yours or ours) is better in position, and more imposing as an army?
Wa izaa tutlaa 'alaihim Aayaatunaa baiyinaatin qaalal lazeena kafaroo lillazeena aamanooo aiyul fareeqaini khairum maqaamanw wa ahsanu nadiyyaa
How many a generation have We destroyed before them, who were more imposing in respect of gear and outward seeming!
Wa kam ahlaknaa qablahum min qarnin hum ahsanu asaasanw wa ri'yaa

Qul man kaana fidda laalati falyamdud lahur Rahmaanu maddaa; hattaaa izaa ra aw maa yoo'adoona immal 'azaaba wa immas Saa'ata fasa ya'lamoona man huwa sharrum makaananw wa ad'afu jundaa
Allah increaseth in right guidance those who walk aright, and the good deeds which endure are better in thy Lord's sight for reward, and better for resort.
Wa yazeedul laahul lazeenah tadaw hudaa; wal baaqiyaatus saalihaatu khairun 'inda Rabbika sawaabanw wa khairum maraddaa
Hast thou seen him who disbelieveth in Our revelations and saith: Assuredly I shall be given wealth and children?
Afara'aytal lazee kafara bi Aayaatinaa wa qaala la oota yanna maalanw wa waladaa
Hath he perused the Unseen, or hath he made a pact with the Beneficent?
Attala'al ghaiba amitta khaza'indar Rahmaani 'ahdaa
Nay, but We shall record that which he saith and prolong for him a span of torment.
Kallaa; sanaktubu maa yaqoolu wa namuddu lahoo minal 'azaabi maddaa
And We shall inherit from him that whereof he spake, and he will come unto Us, alone (without his wealth and children).
Wa narisuhoo maa yaqoolu wa yaateenaa fardaa
And they have chosen (other) gods beside Allah that they may be a power for them.
Wattakhazoo min doonil laahi aalihatal liyakoonoo lahum 'izzaa

That ye ascribe unto the Beneficent a son,
An da'aw lir Rahmaani waladaa
When it is not meet for (the Majesty of) the Beneficent that He should choose a son.

There is none in the heavens and the earth but cometh unto the Beneficent as a slave.
In kullu man fis samaawaati wal ardi illaaa aatir Rahmaani 'abdaa
Verily He knoweth them and numbereth them with (right) numbering.
Laqad ahsaahum wa addahum 'addaa
And each one of them will come unto Him on the Day of Resurrection, alone.
Wa kulluhum aateehi Yawmal Qiyaamati fardaa
Lo! those who believe and do good works, the Beneficent will appoint for them love.
Innal lazeena aamanoo wa 'amilus saalihaati sa yaj'alu lahumur Rahmaanu wuddaa
And We make (this Scripture) easy in thy tongue, (O Muhammad) only that thou mayst bear good tidings therewith unto those who ward off (evil), and warn therewith the froward folk.
Fa innamaa yassarnaahu bilisaanika litubashshira bihil muttaqeena wa tunzira bihee qawmal luddaa
And how many a generation before them have We destroyed! Canst thou (Muhammad) see a single man of them, or hear from them the slightest sound?
Wa kam ahlaknaa qabla hum min qarnin hal tuhissu minhum min ahadin aw tasma'u lahum rikzaa
