Chpt 19. (Mary)
And mention in the Book (the story of) Maryam, when she secluded herself from her people to a place towards East,
[19:17]
then she used a barrier to hide herself from them. Then, We sent to her Our Spirit, (Jibra‘il) and he took before her the
form of a perfect human being.
[19:18]
She said, .I seek refuge with the All-Merciful (Allah) against you, if you are God-fearing..
[19:19]
He said, .I am but a message-bearer of your Lord (sent) to give you a boy, purified..
[19:20]
She said, .How shall I have a boy while no human has ever touched me, nor have I ever been unchaste?.
[19:21]
He said, .So it is; your Lord said, =It is easy for Me, and (We will do this) so that We make it a sign for people and a mercy
from Us, and this is a matter already destined.‘.
[19:22]
So she conceived him, and went in seclusion with him to a remote place.
[19:23]
Then the labour pains brought her to the trunk of a palm-tree. She said .O that I would have died before this, and would
have been something gone, forgotten..
[19:24]
Then he called her from beneath her: .Do not grieve; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you.
[19:25]
Shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards yourself and, it will drop upon you ripe fresh dates.
[19:26]
So eat, drink and cool your eyes. Then if you see any human being, say (to him), .I have vowed a fast (of silence) for the
All-Merciful (Allah,) and therefore, I shall never speak to any human today..
[19:27]
Then she came to her people carrying him (the baby). They said, .O Maryam you have committed something grave
indeed.
[19:28]
O sister of Harun, neither your father was a man of evil nor was your mother unchaste..
[19:29]
So, she pointed towards him (the baby). They said, .How shall we speak to someone who is still a child in the cradle?.
[19:30]
Spoke he (the baby), .Verily I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Book, and made me a prophet,
[19:31]
and He has made me a blessed one wherever I be, and has enjoined Salah and Zakah upon me as long as I am alive,
[19:32]
and (He has made me) good to my mother, and he did not make me oppressive (or) ill-fated.
[19:33]
And peace is upon me the day I was born, the day I shall die, and the day I shall be raised alive again..
[19:34]
That is Isa, the son of Maryam, to say the truth in which they (Christians) are disputing.
[19:35]
It is not for Allah to have a son. Pure is He. When He decides a thing, He simply says to it, .Be. and it comes to be.
[19:36]
And (O Prophet, say to the people,) .Allah is surely my Lord and your Lord. So, worship Him. This is the straight path..
[19:37]
Then the groups among them fell in dispute. So, how evil is the fate of the disbelievers when they have to face the Great
Day.[19:38]
