4. قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى وَهَنَ ٱلْعَظْمُ مِنِّى وَٱشْتَعَلَ ٱلرَّأْسُ شَيْبًۭا وَلَمْ أَكُنۢ بِدُعَآئِكَ رَبِّ شَقِيًّۭا
He said, "My Lord, indeed my bones have weakened, and my head has filled with white, and never have I been in my supplication to You, my Lord, unhappy."

5. وَإِنِّى خِفْتُ ٱلْمَوَٰلِىَ مِن وَرَآءِى وَكَانَتِ ٱمْرَأَتِى عَاقِرًۭا فَهَبْ لِى مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيًّۭا

Great! Continuing with Surah Maryam (سورة مريم) from Ayah 11 to 98 in the same format:

11. فَخَرَجَ عَلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلْمِحْرَابِ فَأَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَيْهِمْ أَن سَبِّحُوا۟ بُكْرَةًۭ وَعَشِيًّۭا
So he came out to his people from the prayer chamber and signaled to them to exalt \[Allah] in the morning and afternoon.

12. يَـٰيَحْيَىٰ خُذِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ بِقُوَّةٍۢ ۖ وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ ٱلْحُكْمَ صَبِيًّۭا
"O Yahya (John), take the Scripture with determination." And We gave him judgment \[while yet] a boy.

13. وَحَنَانًۭا مِّن لَّدُنَّا وَزَكَوٰةًۭ ۖ وَكَانَ تَقِيًّۭا
And affection from Us and purity, and he was fearing of Allah.

14. وَبَرًۭۢا بِوَٰلِدَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَكُن جَبَّارًۭا عَصِيًّۭا
And dutiful to his parents, and he was not a disobedient tyrant.

15. وَسَلَـٰمٌ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ وُلِدَ وَيَوْمَ يَمُوتُ وَيَوْمَ يُبْعَثُ حَيًّۭا
And peace be upon him the day he was born and the day he dies and the day he is raised alive.

16. وَٱذْكُرْ فِى ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ مَرْيَمَ إِذِ ٱنتَبَذَتْ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا مَكَانًۭا شَرْقِيًّۭا
And mention, \[O Muhammad], in the Book \[the story of] Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place toward the east.

17. فَٱتَّخَذَتْ مِن دُونِهِمْ حِجَابًۭا فَأَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَيْهَا رُوحَنَا فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهَا بَشَرًۭا سَوِيًّۭا
And she took, in seclusion from them, a screen. Then We sent to her Our Angel, and he appeared before her as a man in all respects.

18. قَالَتْ إِنِّىٓ أَعُوذُ بِٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ مِنكَ إِن كُنتَ تَقِيًّۭا
She said, "Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, \[so leave me], if you should be fearing of Allah."

19. قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ رَسُولُ رَبِّكِ لِأَهَبَ لَكِ غُلَـٰمًۭا زَكِيًّۭا
He said, "I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you \[news of] a pure boy."

20. قَالَتْ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِى غُلَـٰمٌۭ وَلَمْ يَمْسَسْنِى بَشَرٌۭ وَلَمْ أَكُ بَغِيًّۭا
She said, "How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste?"

21. قَالَ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ هُوَ عَلَىَّ هَيِّنٌۭ ۖ وَلِنَجْعَلَهُۥٓ ءَايَةًۭ لِّلنَّاسِ وَرَحْمَةًۭ مِّنَّا ۚ وَكَانَ أَمْرًۭا مَّقْضِيًّۭ
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.'"

22. فَحَمَلَتْهُ فَٱنتَبَذَتْ بِهِۦ مَكَانًۭا قَصِيًّۭ
So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a remote place.

23. فَأَجَآءَهَا ٱلْمَخَاضُ إِلَىٰ جِذْعِ ٱلنَّخْلَةِ قَالَتْ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى مِتُّ قَبْلَ هَـٰذَا وَكُنتُ نَسْيًۭا مَّنسِيًّۭ
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."

24. فَنَادَىٰهَا مِن تَحْتِهَآ أَلَّا تَحْزَنِى قَدْ جَعَلَ رَبُّكِ تَحْتَكِ سَرِيًّۭ
But he called her from below her, "Do not grieve; your Lord has provided beneath you a stream."

25. وَهُزِّىٓ إِلَيْكِ بِجِذْعِ ٱلنَّخْلَةِ تُسَـٰقِطْ عَلَيْكِ رُطَبًۭا جَنِيًّۭ
"And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates."

26. فَكُلِى وَٱشْرَبِى وَقَرِّى عَيْنًۭا ۖ فَإِمَّا تَرَيِنَّ مِنَ ٱلْبَشَرِ أَحَدًۭا فَقُولِىٓ إِنِّى نَذَرْتُ لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ صَوْمًۭا فَلَنْ أُكَلِّمَ ٱلْيَوْمَ إِنسِيًّۭ
"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.'"

27. فَأَتَتْ بِهِۦ قَوْمَهَا تَحْمِلُهُۥ ۖ قَالُوا۟ يَـٰمَرْيَمُ لَقَدْ جِئْتِ شَيْـًۭٔا فَرِيًّۭ
Then she brought him to her people, carrying him. They said, "O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented."

28. يَـٰٓأُخْتَ هَـٰرُونَ مَا كَانَ أَبُوكِ ٱمْرَأَ سَوْءٍۢ وَمَا كَانَتْ أُمُّكِ بَغِيًّۭ
"O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste."

29. فَأَشَارَتْ إِلَيْهِ ۖ قَالُوا۟ كَيْفَ نُكَلِّمُ مَن كَانَ فِى ٱلْمَهْدِ صَبِيًّۭ
So she pointed to him. They said, "How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?"

30. قَالَ إِنِّى عَبْدُ ٱللَّهِ ءَاتَىٰنِىَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَجَعَلَنِى نَبِيًّۭ
He said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet."

31. وَجَعَلَنِى مُبَارَكًا أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُ وَأَوْصَانِى بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱلزَّكَوٰةِ مَا دُمْتُ حَيًّۭ
"And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and zakah as long as I remain alive."

32. وَبَرًۭۢا بِوَٰلِدَتِى وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْنِى جَبَّارًۭا شَقِيًّۭ
"And \[made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant."

33. وَٱلسَّلَـٰمُ عَلَىَّ يَوْمَ وُلِدتُّ وَيَوْمَ أَمُوتُ وَيَوْمَ أُبْعَثُ حَيًّۭ
"And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive."

34. ذَٰلِكَ عِيسَى ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ ۚ قَوْلَ ٱلْحَقِّ ٱلَّذِى فِيهِ يَمْتَرُون
That is Jesus, the son of Mary — the word of truth about which they are in dispute.

35. مَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ مِن وَلَدٍۢ ۚ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥٓ ۚ إِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمْرًۭا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُون
It is not \[befitting] for Allah to take a son; exalted is He! When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, "Be," and it is.

36. وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّى وَرَبُّكُمْ فَٱعْبُدُوهُ ۗ هَـٰذَا صِرَٰطٌۭ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ
And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.

37. فَٱخْتَلَفَ ٱلْأَحْزَابُ مِنۢ بَيْنِهِمْ ۖ فَوَيْلٌۭ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن مَّشْهَدِ يَوْمٍ عَظِيم
Then the factions differed \[concerning Jesus] from among them, so woe to those who disbelieved from the scene of a tremendous Day.

38. أَسْمِعْ بِهِمْ وَأَبْصِرْ ۚ يَوْمَ يَأْتُونَنَا ۖ لَـٰكِنِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ ٱلْيَوْمَ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍۢ مُّبِينٍ
How clearly they will hear and see the Day they come to Us! But the wrongdoers today are in clear error.

39. وَأَنذِرْهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْحَسْرَةِ إِذْ قُضِىَ ٱلْأَمْرُ وَهُمْ فِى غَفْلَةٍۢ وَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُون
And warn them, \[O Muhammad], of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded; and yet they are in \[a state of] heedlessness, and they do not believe.

40. إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَرِثُ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَنْ عَلَيْهَا وَإِلَيْنَا يُرْجَعُون
Indeed, it is We who will inherit the earth and whoever is on it, and to Us they will be returned.

Continuing with Surah Maryam (سورة مريم) — Ayahs 41 to 60, in the same format:


41. وَٱذْكُرْ فِى ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صِدِّيقًۭا نَّبِيًّا
And mention in the Book \[the story of] Abraham. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet.

42. إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ لِمَ تَعْبُدُ مَا لَا يَسْمَعُ وَلَا يُبْصِرُ وَلَا يُغْنِى عَنكَ شَيْـًۭٔا
When he said to his father, "O my father, why do you worship that which neither hears nor sees and will not benefit you at all?"

43. يَـٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّى قَدْ جَآءَنِى مِنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ مَا لَمْ يَأْتِكَ فَٱتَّبِعْنِىٓ أَهْدِكَ صِرَٰطًۭا سَوِيًّۭا
"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."

44. يَـٰٓأَبَتِ لَا تَعْبُدِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ ۖ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ كَانَ لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ عَصِيًّۭا
"O my father, do not worship Satan. Indeed Satan has ever been, to the Most Merciful, disobedient."

45. يَـٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يَمَسَّكَ عَذَابٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ فَتَكُونَ لِلشَّيْطَـٰنِ وَلِيًّۭا
"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]."

46. قَالَ أَرَاغِبٌۭ أَنتَ عَنْ ءَالِهَتِى يَـٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ ۖ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ لَأَرْجُمَنَّكَ ۖ وَٱهْجُرْنِى مَلِيًّۭا
\[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."

47. قَالَ سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَيْكَ ۖ سَأَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكَ رَبِّىٓ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ بِى حَفِيًّۭا
\[Abraham] said, "Peace will be upon you. I will ask forgiveness for you of my Lord. Indeed, He is ever gracious to me."

48. وَأَعْتَزِلُكُمْ وَمَا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَدْعُوا۟ رَبِّى ۖ عَسَىٰٓ أَلَّآ أَكُونَ بِدُعَآءِ رَبِّى شَقِيًّۭا
"And I will leave you and those you invoke other than Allah and will invoke my Lord. I expect that I will not be in invocation to my Lord unhappy."

49. فَلَمَّا ٱعْتَزَلَهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَهَبْنَا لَهُۥٓ إِسْحَـٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ ۖ وَكُلًّۭا جَعَلْنَا نَبِيًّۭا
And when he left them and those they worshipped other than Allah, We gave him Isaac and Jacob, and each \[of them] We made a prophet.

50. وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُم مِّن رَّحْمَتِنَا وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ عَلِيًّۭا
And We gave them of Our mercy, and We made for them a reputation of high honor.

[muslimsforum]

51. وَٱذْكُرْ فِى ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ مُوسَىٰٓ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مُخْلَصًۭا وَكَانَ رَسُولًۭا نَّبِيًّۭا
And mention in the Book \[the story of] Moses. Indeed, he was chosen, and he was a messenger and a prophet.

52. وَنَادَيْنَـٰهُ مِن جَانِبِ ٱلطُّورِ ٱلْأَيْمَنِ وَقَرَّبْنَـٰهُ نَجِيًّۭا
And We called him from the right side of the mount and brought him near, confiding to him.

53. وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُۥ مِن رَّحْمَتِنَآ أَخَاهُ هَـٰرُونَ نَبِيًّۭا
And We gave him out of Our mercy his brother Aaron as a prophet.

54. وَٱذْكُرْ فِى ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ إِسْمَـٰعِيلَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صَادِقَ ٱلْوَعْدِ وَكَانَ رَسُولًۭا نَّبِيًّۭا
And mention in the Book \[the story of] Ishmael. Indeed, he was true to his promise, and he was a messenger and a prophet.

55. وَكَانَ يَأْمُرُ أَهْلَهُۥ بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱلزَّكَوٰةِ وَكَانَ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦ مَرْضِيًّۭا
And he used to enjoin on his people prayer and zakah and was to his Lord pleasing.

56. وَٱذْكُرْ فِى ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ إِدْرِيسَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صِدِّيقًۭا نَّبِيًّۭا
And mention in the Book \[the story of] Idris. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet.

57. وَرَفَعْنَـٰهُ مَكَانًا عَلِيًّۭا
And We raised him to a high station.

58. أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ مِن ذُرِّيَّةِ ءَادَمَ وَمِمَّنْ حَمَلْنَا مَعَ نُوحٍۢ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّةِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ وَمِمَّنْ هَدَيْنَا وَٱجْتَبَيْنَا ۚ إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ خَرُّوا۟ سُجَّدًۭا وَبُكِيًّۭا
Those were the ones upon whom Allah 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, 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.

59. فَخَلَفَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ أَضَاعُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ ٱلشَّهَوَٰتِ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَلْقَوْنَ غَيًّۭا
But there came after them successors who neglected prayer and pursued desires; so they are going to meet evil.

60. إِلَّا مَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًۭا فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ شَيْـًۭٔا
Except those who repent, believe and do righteousness; for those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged at all.


61. جَنَّـٰتِ عَدْنٍ ٱلَّتِى وَعَدَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ عِبَادَهُۥ بِٱلْغَيْبِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ وَعْدُهُۥ مَأْتِيًّۭا
\[They will enter] gardens of perpetual residence which the Most Merciful has promised to His servants in the unseen. Indeed, His promise has ever been coming.

62. لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًۭا إِلَّا سَلَـٰمًۭا ۖ وَلَهُمْ رِزْقُهُمْ فِيهَا بُكْرَةًۭ وَعَشِيًّۭا
They will not hear therein any ill speech—only \[greetings of] peace—and they will have their provision therein, morning and afternoon.

63. تِلْكَ ٱلْجَنَّةُ ٱلَّتِى نُورِثُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا مَن كَانَ تَقِيًّۭا
That is Paradise, which We give as inheritance to those of Our servants who were fearing of Allah.

64. وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ إِلَّا بِأَمْرِ رَبِّكَ ۚ لَهُۥ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا وَمَا خَلْفَنَا وَمَا بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ ۚ وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ نَسِيًّۭا
And \[the angels say], "We \[angels] do not descend except by the command of your Lord. To Him belongs what is before us and what is behind us and what is in between. And your Lord is never forgetful."

65. رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَٱعْبُدْهُ وَٱصْطَبِرْ لِعِبَادَتِهِۦ ۖ هَلْ تَعْلَمُ لَهُۥ سَمِيًّۭا
\[He is] Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them—so worship Him and be steadfast in His worship. Do you know of any who is similar to Him?

66. وَيَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَءِذَا مَا مِتُّ لَسَوْفَ أُخْرَجُ حَيًّۭا
And man says, "When I have died, am I going to be brought forth alive?"

67. أَوَلَا يَذْكُرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُ مِن قَبْلُ وَلَمْ يَكُ شَيْـًۭٔا
Does man not remember that We created him before, while he was nothing?

68. فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَحْشُرَنَّهُمْ وَٱلشَّيَـٰطِينَ ثُمَّ لَنُحْضِرَنَّهُمْ حَوْلَ جَهَنَّمَ جِثِيًّۭا
So by your Lord, We will surely gather them and the devils; then We will surely bring them to be present around Hell upon their knees.

69. ثُمَّ لَنَنزِعَنَّ مِن كُلِّ شِيعَةٍ أَيُّهُمْ أَشَدُّ عَلَى ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ عِتِيًّۭا
Then We will surely extract from every sect those of them who were worst against the Most Merciful in insolence.

70. ثُمَّ لَنَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ أَوْلَىٰ بِهَا صِلِيًّۭا
Then, surely it is We who are most knowing of those most worthy of burning therein.

71. وَإِن مِّنكُمْ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَا ۚ كَانَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ حَتْمًۭا مَّقْضِيًّۭا
And there is none of you except he will come to it. This is upon your Lord an inevitability decreed.

72. ثُمَّ نُنَجِّى ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوا۟ وَّنَذَرُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ فِيهَا جِثِيًّۭا
Then We will save those who feared Allah and leave the wrongdoers within it, on their knees.

73. وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتُنَا بَيِّنَـٰتٍۢ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَيُّ ٱلْفَرِيقَيْنِ خَيْرٌۭ مَّقَامًۭا وَأَحْسَنُ نَدِيًّۭا
And when Our clear verses are recited to them, those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Which of \[our] two parties is best in position and best in association?"

74. وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْنٍ هُمْ أَحْسَنُ أَثَاثًۭا وَرِءْيًۭا
And how many a generation have We destroyed before them who were better in possessions and \[outward] appearance?

75. قُلْ مَن كَانَ فِى ٱلضَّلَـٰلَةِ فَلْيَمْدُدْ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ مَدًّۭا حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا رَأَوْا۟ مَا يُوعَدُونَ إِمَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ وَإِمَّا ٱلسَّاعَةَ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ هُوَ شَرٌّۭ مَّكَانًۭا وَأَضْعَفُ جُندًۭا
Say, "Whoever is in error—let the Most Merciful extend for him an extension \[in wealth and time] until, when they see that which they were promised—either punishment or the Hour—they will come to know who is worst in position and weaker in soldiers."

76. وَيَزِيدُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱهْتَدَوْا۟ هُدًۭى ۗ وَٱلْبَـٰقِيَـٰتُ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتُ خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًۭا وَخَيْرٌۭ مَّرَدًّا
And Allah increases those who were guided, in guidance, and the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for return.

77. أَفَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى كَفَرَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا وَقَالَ لَأُوتَيَنَّ مَالًۭا وَوَلَدًۭا
Then, have you seen he who disbelieved in Our verses and said, "I will surely be given wealth and children \[in the next life]?"

78. أَطَّلَعَ ٱلْغَيْبَ أَمِ ٱتَّخَذَ عِندَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ عَهْدًا
Has he looked into the unseen, or has he taken from the Most Merciful a promise?

79. كَلَّا ۚ سَنَكْتُبُ مَا يَقُولُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ مَدًّۭا
No! We will record what he says and extend for him from the punishment extensively.

80. وَنَرِثُهُۥ مَا يَقُولُ وَيَأْتِينَا فَرْدًۭا
And We will inherit him \[what he mentioned], and he will come to Us alone.

81. وَٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ءَالِهَةًۭ لِّيَكُونُوا۟ لَهُمْ عِزًّۭا
And they have taken besides Allah \[false] deities that they would be for them \[a source of] honor.

82. كَلَّا ۚ سَيَكْفُرُونَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضِدًّۭا
No! Those \[deities] will deny their worship of them and will be against them opponents \[on the Day of Judgment].

83. أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينَ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ تَؤُزُّهُمْ أَزًّۭا
Do you not see that We have sent the devils upon the disbelievers, inciting them to \[evil] with \[constant] incitement?

84. فَلَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَيْهِمْ ۖ إِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمْ عَدًّۭا
So be not impatient over them. We only count out to them a \[limited] number.

85. يَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ إِلَى ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ وَفْدًۭا
The Day We will gather the righteous to the Most Merciful as a delegation.

86. وَنَسُوقُ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ وِرْدًۭا
And will drive the criminals to Hell in thirst.

87. لَّا يَمْلِكُونَ ٱلشَّفَـٰعَةَ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱتَّخَذَ عِندَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ عَهْدًۭا
None will have \[power of] intercession except he who had taken from the Most Merciful a covenant.

88. وَقَالُوا۟ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَلَدًۭا
And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken \[for Himself] a son."

89. لَّقَدْ جِئْتُمْ شَيْـًٔا إِدًّۭا
You have done an atrocious thing.

90. تَكَادُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنشَقُّ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ ٱلْجِبَالُ هَدًّا
The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation.

91. أَن دَعَوْا۟ لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ وَلَدًۭا
That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son.

92. وَمَا يَنبَغِى لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا
And it is not appropriate for the Most Merciful that He should take a son.

93. إِن كُلُّ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّآ ءَاتِى ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ عَبْدًۭا
There is no one in the heavens and earth but that he comes to the Most Merciful as a servant.

94. لَّقَدْ أَحْصَىٰهُمْ وَعَدَّهُمْ عَدًّۭا
He has enumerated them and counted them a \[full] counting.

95. وَكُلُّهُمْ ءَاتِيهِ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ فَرْدًا
And all of them are coming to Him on the Day of Resurrection alone.

96. إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ سَيَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ وُدًّۭا
Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds—the Most Merciful will appoint for them affection.

97. فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَـٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ وَتُنذِرَ بِهِ قَوْمًۭا لُّدًّۭا
So, We have only made it \[the Qur’an] easy in your language that you may give good tidings to the righteous and warn with it a hostile people.

98. وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْنٍ ۚ هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ أَوْ تَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ رِكْزًۭا
And how many have We destroyed before them of generations? Do you perceive of them anyone or hear from them a sound?
