Read Surah Maryam

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

وَ اِنْ مِّنْكُمْ اِلَّا وَارِدُهَا ۚ كَانَ عَلٰی رَبِّكَ حَتْمًا مَّقْضِیًّاۚ۝۷۱

There is not one among you who will not reach it. Your Lord has made this incumbent on Himself.

ثُمَّ نُنَجِّی الَّذِیْنَ اتَّقَوْا وَّ نَذَرُ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ فِیْهَا جِثِیًّا۝۷۲

We shall deliver those who took heed for themselves, and leave the evil-doers kneeling there.

وَ اِذَا تُتْلٰی عَلَیْهِمْ اٰیٰتُنَا بَیِّنٰتٍ قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لِلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا ۙ اَیُّ الْفَرِیْقَیْنِ خَیْرٌ مَّقَامًا وَّ اَحْسَنُ نَدِیًّا۝۷۳

When Our lucid revelations are read out to them, the infidels say to those who believe: "Which of the two groups is better in standing, and whose company is more excellent?"

وَ كَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنْ قَرْنٍ هُمْ اَحْسَنُ اَثَاثًا وَّ رِءْیًا۝۷۴

How many generations that had far more wealth and ostentation have We laid low before them!

قُلْ مَنْ كَانَ فِی الضَّلٰلَةِ فَلْیَمْدُدْ لَهُ الرَّحْمٰنُ مَدًّا ۚ۬ حَتّٰۤی اِذَا رَاَوْا مَا یُوْعَدُوْنَ اِمَّا الْعَذَابَ وَ اِمَّا السَّاعَةَ ؕ فَسَیَعْلَمُوْنَ مَنْ هُوَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَّ اَضْعَفُ جُنْدًا۝۷۵

Say: "Ar-Rahman extends the life of those who are astray until they come to realise what had been promised them was either (physical) affliction or (the terror) of Resurrection. Then will they know who is worse in position, and who is weak in supporters.

وَ یَزِیْدُ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ اهْتَدَوْا هُدًی ؕ وَ الْبٰقِیٰتُ الصّٰلِحٰتُ خَیْرٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَّ خَیْرٌ مَّرَدًّا۝۷۶

God gives greater guidance to those who are guided; and good deeds that endure are better with your Lord for reward, and better for consequence.

اَفَرَءَیْتَ الَّذِیْ كَفَرَ بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَ قَالَ لَاُوْتَیَنَّ مَالًا وَّ وَلَدًاؕ۝۷۷

Have you seen him who denies Our revelations, and says: "I will certainly be given wealth and children."

اَطَّلَعَ الْغَیْبَ اَمِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمٰنِ عَهْدًاۙ۝۷۸

Has he peeped into the Unknown, or obtained a promise from Ar-Rahman?

كَلَّا ؕ سَنَكْتُبُ مَا یَقُوْلُ وَ نَمُدُّ لَهٗ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ مَدًّاۙ۝۷۹

Never so. We shall certainly write down what he says, and prolong the extent of his punishment.

وَّ نَرِثُهٗ مَا یَقُوْلُ وَ یَاْتِیْنَا فَرْدًا۝۸۰

All that he claims will revert to Us, and he will come before Us all alone.
