Qul in kuntum tuhibboona Allaha faittabiAAoonee yuhbibkumu Allahu wayaghfir lakum thunoobakum waAllahu ghafoorun raheemun\n31. Say: \"If ye do love God,\n Follow me: God will love you\n And forgive you your sins:\n For God is Oft-Forgiving,\n Most Merciful.\"\n32. Qul ateeAAoo Allaha waalrrasoola fa-in tawallaw fa-inna Allaha la yuhibbu alkafireena\n32. Say: \"Obey God\n And His Apostle\":\n But if they turn back,\n God loveth not those\n Who reject Faith.\n33. Inna Allaha istafa adama wanoohan waala ibraheema waala AAimrana AAala alAAalameena\n33. God did choose\n Adam and Noah, the family\n Of Abraham, and the family\n Of \u2019Imr\u0101n above all people,\u2014\n34. Thurriyyatan baAAduha min baAAdin waAllahu sameeAAun AAaleemun\n34. Offspring, one of the other:\n And God heareth\n And knoweth all things.\n35. Ith qalati imraatu AAimrana rabbi innee nathartu laka ma fee batnee muharraran fataqabbal minnee innaka anta alssameeAAu alAAaleemu\n35. Behold! a woman of \u2019Imr\u0101n\n Said: \"O my Lord! I do\nDedicate unto Thee\n What is in my womb\n For Thy special service:\n So accept this of me:\n For Thou hearest\n And knowest all things.\"\n36. Falamma wadaAAat-ha qalat rabbi innee wadaAAtuha ontha waAllahu aAAlamu bima wadaAAat walaysa alththakaru kaalontha wa-innee sammaytuha maryama wa-innee oAAeethuha bika wathurriyyataha mina alshshaytani alrrajeemi\n36. When she was delivered,\n She said: \"O my Lord!\n Behold! I am delivered\n Of a female child!\"\u2014\n And God knew best\n What she brought forth\u2014\n \"And nowise is the male\n Like the female.\n I have named her Mary,\n And I commend her\n And her offspring\n To Thy protection\n From the Evil One,\n The Rejected.\"\n37. Fataqabbalaha rabbuha biqaboolin hasanin waanbataha nabatan hasanan wakaffalaha zakariyya kullama dakhala AAalayha zakariyya almihraba wajada AAindaha rizqan qala ya maryamu anna laki hatha qalat huwa min AAindi Allahi inna Allaha yarzuqu man yashao bighayri hisabin\n37. Right graciously\n Did her Lord accept her:\n He made her grow\n In purity and beauty:\n To the care of Zakar\u012bya\n Was she assigned.\n Every time that he entered\n (Her) chamber to see her,\n He found her supplied\n With sustenance. He said:\n \"O Mary! Whence (comes) this\n To you?\" She said:\n \"From God: for God\n Provides sustenance\n To whom He pleases,\n Without measure.\"\n38. Hunalika daAAa zakariyya rabbahu qala rabbi hab lee min ladunka thurriyyatan tayyibatan innaka sameeAAu aldduAAa/-i\n38. There here did Zakar\u012bya\n Pray to his Lord, saying:\n \"O my Lord! Grant unto me\n From Thee a progeny\n That is pure: for Thou\n Art He that heareth prayer!\n39. Fanadat-hu almala-ikatu wahuwa qa-imun yusallee fee almihrabi anna Allaha yubashshiruka biyahya musaddiqan bikalimatin mina Allahi wasayyidan wahasooran wanabiyyan mina alssaliheena\n39. While he was standing\n In prayer in the chamber,\n The angels called unto him:\n \"God doth give thee\n Glad tidings of Ya\u1e25y\u0101,\n Witnessing the truth\n Of a Word from God, and (be\n Besides) noble, chaste,\n And a Prophet,\n Of the (goodly) company\n Of the righteous.\"\n40. Qala rabbi anna yakoonu lee ghulamun waqad balaghaniya alkibaru waimraatee AAaqirun qala kathalika Allahu yafAAalu ma yasha/o\n40. He said: \"O my Lord!\n How shall I have a son,\n Seeing I am very old,\n And my wife is barren?\"\n \"Thus, \"was the answer,\n \"Doth God accomplish\n What He willeth,\"\n41. Qala rabbi ijAAal lee ayatan qala ayatuka alla tukallima alnnasa thalathata ayyamin illa ramzan waothkur rabbaka katheeran wasabbih bialAAashiyyi waal-ibkari\n41. He said: \"O my Lord!\n Give me a Sign!\"\n \"Thy Sign, \"was the answer,\n \"Shall be that thou\n Shalt speak to no man\n For three days\n But with signals.\n Then celebrate\n The praises of thy Lord\n Again and again,\n And glorify Him\n In the evening\n And in the morning.\"","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra III.: \u0100l-i-\u2019Imr\u0101n, or The Family of \u2019Imr\u0101n.: Section 4 (31-41)","type":"page"}
