In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

alif lam mim (1)

allah, (there is) no god but he, the everliving, the self-subsisting by whom all things subsist (2)

he has revealed to you the book with truth, verifying that which is before it, and he revealed the tavrat and the injeel aforetime, a guidance for the people, and he sent the furqan (3)

surely they who disbelieve in the communications of allah they shall have a severe chastisement; and allah is mighty, the lord of retribution (4)

allah-- surely nothing is hidden from him in the earth or in the heaven (5)

he it is who shapes you in the wombs as he likes; there is no god but he, the mighty, the wise (6)

he it is who has revealed the book to you; some of its verses are decisive, they are the basis of the book, and others are allegorical; then as for those in whose hearts there is perversity they follow the part of it which is allegorical, seeking to mislead and seeking to give it (their own) interpretation. but none knows its interpretation except allah, and those who are firmly rooted in knowledge say: we believe in it, it is all from our lord; and none do mind except those having understanding (7)

our lord! make not our hearts to deviate after thou hast guided us aright, and grant us from thee mercy; surely thou art the most liberal giver (8)

our lord! surely thou art the gatherer of men on a day about which there is no doubt; surely allah will not fail (his) promise (9)

(as for) those who disbelieve, surely neither their wealth nor their children shall avail them in the least against allah, and these it is who are the fuel of the fire (10)

like the striving of the people of firon and those before them; they rejected our communications, so allah destroyed them on account of their faults; and allah is severe in requiting (evil) (11)

say to those who disbelieve: you shall be vanquished, and driven together to hell; and evil is the resting-place (12)

indeed there was a sign for you in the two hosts (which) met together in encounter; one party fighting in the way of allah and the other unbelieving, whom they saw twice as many as themselves with the sight of the eye and allah strengthens with his aid whom he pleases; most surely there is a lesson in this for those who have sight (13)

the love of desires, of women and sons and hoarded treasures of gold and silver and well bred horses and cattle and tilth, is made to seem fair to men; this is the provision of the life of this world; and allah is he with whom is the good goal (of life) (14)

say:shall}i tell you what is better than these? for those who guard (against evil) are gardens with their lord, beneath which rivers flow, to abide in them, and pure mates and allah's pleasure; and allah sees the servants (15)

those who say: our lord! surely we believe, therefore forgive us our faults and save us from the chastisement of the fire (16)

the patient, and the truthful, and the obedient, and those who spend (benevolently) and those who ask forgiveness in the morning times (17)

allah bears witness that there is no god but he, and (so do) the angels and those possessed of knowledge, maintaining his creation with justice; there is no god but he, the mighty, the wise (18)

surely the (true) religion with allah is islam, and those to whom the book had been given did not show opposition but after knowledge had come to them, out of envy among themselves; and whoever disbelieves in the communications of allah then surely allah is quick in reckoning (19)

but if they dispute with you, say: i have submitted myself entirely to allah and (so) every one who follows me; and say to those who have been given the book and the unlearned people: do you submit yourselves? so if they submit then indeed they follow the right way; and if they turn back, then upon you is only the delivery of the message and allah sees the servants (20)

surely (as for) those who disbelieve in the communications of allah and slay the prophets unjustly and slay those among men who enjoin justice, announce to them a painful chastisement (21)

those are they whose works shall become null in this world as well as the hereafter, and they shall have no helpers (22)

have you not considered those (jews) who are given a portion of the book? they are invited to the book of allah that it might decide between them, then a part of them turn back and they withdraw (23)

this is because they say: the fire shall not touch us but for a few days; and what they have forged deceives them in the matter of their religion (24)

then how will it be when we shall gather them together on a day about which there is no doubt, and every soul shall be fully paid what it has earned, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly? (25)

say: o allah, master of the kingdom! thou givest the kingdom to whomsoever thou pleasest and takest away the kingdom from whomsoever thou pleasest, and thou exaltest whom thou pleasest and abasest whom thou pleasest in thine hand is the good; surety, thou hast power over all things (26)

thou makest the night to pass into the day and thou makest the day to pass into the night, and thou bringest forth the living from the dead and thou bringest forth the dead from the living, and thou givest sustenance to whom thou pleasest without measure (27)

let not the believers take the unbelievers for friends rather than believers; and whoever does this, he shall have nothing of (the guardianship of) allah, but you should guard yourselves against them, guarding carefully; and allah makes you cautious of (retribution from) himself; and to allah is the eventual coming (28)

say: whether you hide what is in your hearts or manifest it, allah knows it, and he knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth, and allah has power over all things (29)

on the day that every soul shall find present what it has done of good and what it has done of evil, it shall wish that between it and that (evil) there were a long duration of time; and allah makes you to be cautious of (retribution from) himself; and allah is compassionate to the servants (30)

say: if you love allah, then follow me, allah will love you and forgive you your faults, and allah is forgiving, merciful (31)

say: obey allah and the messenger; but if they turn back, then surely allah does not love the unbelievers (32)

surely allah chose adam and nuh and the descendants of ibrahim and the descendants of imran above the nations (33)

offspring one of the other; and allah is hearing, knowing (34)

when a woman of imran said: my lord! surely i vow to thee what is in my womb, to be devoted (to thy service); accept therefore from me, surely thou art the hearing, the knowing (35)

so when she brought forth, she said: my lord! surely i have brought it forth a female-- and allah knew best what she brought forth-- and the male is not like the female, and i have named it marium, and i commend her and her offspring into thy protection from the accursed shaitan (36)

so her lord accepted her with a good acceptance and made her grow up a good growing, and gave her into the charge of zakariya; whenever zakariya entered the sanctuary to (see) her, he found with her food. he said: o marium! whence comes this to you? she said: it is from allah. surely allah gives to whom he pleases without measure (37)

there did zakariya pray to his lord; he said: my lord! grant me from thee good offspring; surely thou art the hearer of prayer (38)

then the angels called to him as he stood praying in the sanctuary: that allah gives you the good news of yahya verifying a word from allah, and honorable and chaste and a prophet from among the good ones (39)

he said: my lord! when shall there be a son (born) to me, and old age has already come upon me, and my wife is barren? he said: even thus does allah what he pleases (40)

he said: my lord! appoint a sign for me. said he: your sign is that you should not speak to men for three days except by signs; and remember your lord much and glorify him in the evening and the morning (41)

and when the angels said: o marium! surely allah has chosen you and purified you and chosen you above the women of of the world (42)

o marium! keep to obedience to your lord and humble yourself, and bow down with those who bow (43)

this is of the announcements relating to the unseen which we reveal to you; and you were not with them when they cast their pens (to decide) which of them should have marium in his charge, and you were not with them when they contended one with another (44)

when the angels said: o marium, surely allah gives you good news with a word from him (of one) whose name is the '. messiah, isa son of marium, worthy of regard in this world and the hereafter and of those who are made near (to allah) (45)

and he shall speak to the people when in the cradle and when of old age, and (he shall be) one of the good ones (46)

she said: my lord! when shall there be a son (born) to i me, and man has not touched me? he said: even so, allah creates what he pleases; when he has decreed a matter, he only says to it, be, and it is (47)

in the name of allah, the beneficent, the merciful (1)

all praise is due to allah, the lord of the worlds (2)

the beneficent, the merciful (3)

master of the day of judgment (4)

thee do we serve and thee do we beseech for help (5)

keep us on the right path (6)

the path of those upon whom thou hast bestowed favors. not (the path) of those upon whom thy wrath is brought down, nor of those who go astray (7)
