The Oneness of Allah

Maryam (Mary)

وَاتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ آَلِهَةً لِيَكُونُوا لَهُمْ عِزًّا {٨١}

They have taken gods other than Allah, in order that they may protect them [from punishment].

كَلَّا سَيَكْفُرُونَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضِدًّا {٨٢}

Never! They will deny their worship and will become their enemies.

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا الشَّيَاطِينَ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ تَؤُزُّهُمْ أَزًّا {٨٣}

Do you not see that We sent devils against the disbelievers constantly inciting them to sin?

فَلَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمْ عَدًّا {٨٤}

So do not be in haste about them; We are surely counting down their days.

يَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ الْمُتَّقِينَ إِلَى الرَّحْمَنِ وَفْدًا {٨٥}

The Day when We will gather the righteous before the Most Compassionate as honored guests,

وَنَسُوقُ الْمُجْرِمِينَ إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ وِرْدًا {٨٦}

and We will drive the wicked to Hell like a thirsty herd.

لَا يَمْلِكُونَ الشَّفَاعَةَ إِلَّا مَنِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ عَهْدًا {٨٧}

None will have the power to intercede except those who have taken permission from the Most Compassionate.

وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمَنُ وَلَدًا {٨٨}

They say, “The Most Compassionate has begotten a son.”

لَقَدْ جِئْتُمْ شَيْئًا إِدًّا {٨٩}

You have made a monstrous statement,

تَكَادُ السَّمَوَاتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنْشَقُّ الْأَرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ الْجِبَالُ هَدًّا {٩٠}

at which the heavens are about to be torn apart, the earth split asunder, and the mountains tumble down.

أَنْ دَعَوْا لِلرَّحْمَنِ وَلَدًا {٩١}

because they have ascribed to the Most Compassionate a son.

وَمَا يَنْبَغِي لِلرَّحْمَنِ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا {٩٢}

It is not appropriate for the Most Compassionate to beget a son.

إِنْ كُلُّ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ إِلَّا آَتِي الرَّحْمَنِ عَبْدًا {٩٣}

There is none in the heavens and earth except that he will come to the Most Compassionate in full submission.

لَقَدْ أَحْصَاهُمْ وَعَدَّهُمْ عَدًّا {٩٤}

He has counted them and numbered them precisely.

وَكُلُّهُمْ آَتِيهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَرْدًا {٩٥}

Each one of them will come to Him on the Day of Resurrection all alone.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ سَيَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ الرَّحْمَنُ وُدًّا {٩٦}

Those who believe and do righteous deeds, the Most Compassionate will endear them [to His creation].

فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَاهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ الْمُتَّقِينَ وَتُنْذِرَ بِهِ قَوْمًا لُدًّا {٩٧}

We have made this [Qur’an] easy on your language so that you may give thereby glad tidings to the righteous and warn people who are contentious.

وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِنْ قَرْنٍ هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ أَوْ تَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ رِكْزًا {٩٨}

How many generations We destroyed before them! Do you sense a single one of them or even hear from them a whisper?
