Lo! the bones of me wax feeble and my head is shining with grey hair, and I have never been unblest in prayer to Thee, my Lord.” (19:4) 6 00:00:31,750 --> 00:00:37,750 And my head has flared with gray hair, 7 00:00:37,750 --> 00:00:44,750 “Saying: My Lord! Lo! the bones of me wax feeble and my head is shining with grey hair, and I have never been unblest in prayer to Thee, my Lord.” (19:4) 8 00:00:44,750 --> 00:00:50,549 “Lo! I fear my kinsfolk after me, since my wife is barren. Oh, give me from Thy presence a successor” (19:5) 9 00:00:50,549 --> 00:00:57,549 And my wife has been barren, 10 00:00:57,549 --> 00:01:02,549 “Lo! I fear my kinsfolk after me, since my wife is barren. Oh, give me from Thy presence a successor” (19:5) 11 00:01:02,549 --> 00:01:07,549 “Who shall inherit of me and inherit (also) of the house of Jacob. And make him, my Lord, acceptable (unto Thee).” (19:6) 12 00:01:07,549 --> 00:01:11,549 And make him, my Lord, pleasing to You." 13 00:01:11,549 --> 00:01:18,549 "O Zechariah, indeed We give you good tidings of a boy whose name is John, 14 00:01:18,549 --> 00:01:24,549 Indeed, We give you good tidings of a boy whose name is John, 15 00:01:24,549 --> 00:01:29,549 “(It was said unto him): O Zachariah! Lo! We bring thee tidings of a son whose name is John; we have given the same name to none before (him).” (19:7) 16 00:01:29,549 --> 00:01:35,549 He said, "My Lord, how can I have a boy 17 00:01:35,549 --> 00:01:42,549 When my wife has been barren 18 00:01:42,549 --> 00:01:47,549 “He said: My Lord! How can I have a son when my wife is barren and I have reached infirm old age?” (19:8) 19 00:01:47,549 --> 00:01:49,549 He said, "Thus it will be; 20 00:01:49,549 --> 00:01:53,549 Your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, 21 00:01:53,549 --> 00:02:01,549 “He said: So (it will be). Thy Lord saith: It is easy for Me, even as I created thee before, when thou wast naught.” (19:9) 22 00:02:01,549 --> 00:02:03,549 When you were nothing.'" 23 00:02:03,549 --> 00:02:06,549 He said, "My Lord, make for me a sign." 24 00:02:06,549 --> 00:02:16,550 “He said: My Lord! Appoint for me some token. He said: Thy token is that thou, with no bodily defect, shalt not speak unto mankind three nights.” (19:10) 25 00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:20,550 “Then he came forth unto his people from the sanctuary, and signified to them: Glorify your Lord at break of day and fall of night.” (19:11) 26 00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:28,550 “Then he came forth unto his people from the sanctuary, and signified to them: Glorify your Lord at break of day and fall of night.” (19:11) 27 00:02:28,550 --> 00:02:32,550 In the morning and the evening. 28 00:02:32,550 --> 00:02:37,550 "O John, hold firmly to the Scripture." 29 00:02:37,550 --> 00:02:41,550 And We gave him wisdom while still a youth, 30 00:02:41,550 --> 00:02:47,550 “And compassion from Our presence, and purity; and he was devout,” (19:13) 31 00:02:47,550 --> 00:02:50,550 And he was God-fearing, 32 00:02:50,550 --> 00:02:58,550 “And dutiful toward his parents. And he was not arrogant, rebellious.” (19:14) 33 00:02:58,550 --> 00:03:06,550 “Peace on him the day he was born, and the day he dieth and the day he shall be raised alive!” (19:15) 34 00:03:06,550 --> 00:03:15,550 “And make mention of Mary in the Scripture, when she had withdrawn from her people to a chamber looking East,” (19:16) 35 00:03:15,550 --> 00:03:21,550 “And had chosen seclusion from them. Then We sent unto her Our Spirit and it assumed for her the likeness of a perfect man.” (19:17) 36 00:03:21,550 --> 00:03:28,550 Then We sent to her Our Angel, 37 00:03:28,550 --> 00:03:33,550 “And had chosen seclusion from them. Then We sent unto her Our Spirit and it assumed for her the likeness of a perfect man.” (19:17) 38 00:03:33,550 --> 00:03:43,550 “She said: Lo! I seek refuge in the Beneficent One from thee, if thou art Allah-fearing.” (19:18) 39 00:03:43,550 --> 00:03:52,550 “He said: I am only a messenger of thy Lord, that I may bestow on thee a faultless son.” (19:19) 40 00:03:52,550 --> 00:04:07,580 “She said: How can I have a son when no mortal hath touched me, neither have I been unchaste?” (19:20) 41 00:04:07,580 --> 00:04:13,580 He said, "Thus it will be; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, 42 00:04:13,580 --> 00:04:22,060 And We will make him a sign for humanity and a mercy from Us, 43 00:04:22,060 --> 00:04:26,060 And it is a matter already decreed.'" 44 00:04:26,060 --> 00:04:33,060 “And she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a far place.” (19:22) 45 00:04:33,060 --> 00:04:39,060 “And the pangs of childbirth drove her unto the trunk of the palm-tree. She said: Oh, would that I had died ere this and had become a thing of naught, forgotten!” (19:23) 46 00:04:39,060 --> 00:04:53,060 “And the pangs of childbirth drove her unto the trunk of the palm-tree. She said: Oh, would that I had died ere this and had become a thing of naught, forgotten!” (19:23) 47 00:04:53,060 --> 00:05:02,060 “Then (one) cried unto her from below her, saying: Grieve not! Thy Lord hath placed a rivulet beneath thee,” (19:24) 48 00:05:02,060 --> 00:05:11,060 “And shake the trunk of the palm-tree toward thee, thou wilt cause ripe dates to fall upon thee.” (19:25) 49 00:05:11,060 --> 00:05:15,060 “So eat and drink and be consoled. And if thou meetest any mortal, say: Lo! I have vowed a fast unto the Beneficent, and may not speak this day to any mortal.” (19:26) 50 00:05:15,060 --> 00:05:34,060 "So if you see any human being, say, 'Indeed, I have vowed a fast to the Most Merciful, so I will not speak today to any person.'" 51 00:05:34,060 --> 00:05:44,060 “Then she brought him to her own folk, carrying him. They said: O Mary! Thou hast come with an amazing thing.” (19:27) 52 00:05:44,060 --> 00:05:54,060 "O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, nor was your mother unchaste." 53 00:05:54,060 --> 00:06:04,060 “Then she pointed to him. They said: How can we talk to one who is in the cradle, a young boy?” (19:29) 54 00:06:04,060 --> 00:06:12,060 “He spake: Lo! I am the slave of Allah. He hath given me the Scripture and hath appointed me a Prophet,” (19:30) 55 00:06:12,060 --> 00:06:26,060 “And hath made me blessed wheresoever I may be, and hath enjoined upon me prayer and almsgiving so long as I remain alive,” (19:31) 56 00:06:26,060 --> 00:06:35,060 “And (hath made me) dutiful toward her who bore me, and hath not made me arrogant, unblest.” (19:32) 57 00:06:35,060 --> 00:06:43,060 “Peace on me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive!” (19:33) 58 00:06:43,060 --> 00:06:51,060 “Such was Jesus, son of Mary: (this is) a statement of the truth concerning which they doubt.” (19:34) 59 00:06:51,060 --> 00:07:00,060 “It befitteth not (the Majesty of) Allah that He should take unto Himself a son. Glory be to Him! When He decreeth a thing, He saith unto it only: Be! and it is.” (19:35) 60 00:07:00,060 --> 00:07:09,060 When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, "Be," and it is. 61 00:07:09,060 --> 00:07:20,060 "And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. This is a straight path." 62 00:07:20,060 --> 00:07:32,060 “The sects among them differ: but woe unto the disbelievers from the meeting of an awful Day.” (19:37) 63 00:07:32,060 --> 00:07:44,060 “See and hear them on the Day they come unto Us! yet the evil-doers are to-day in error manifest.” (19:38) 64 00:07:44,060 --> 00:07:57,509 “And warn them of the Day of anguish when the case hath been decided. Now they are in a state of carelessness, and they believe not.” (19:39) 65 00:07:57,509 --> 00:08:05,279 “Lo! We, only We, inherit the earth and all who are thereon, and unto Us they are returned.” (19:40) 66 00:08:05,279 --> 00:08:15,540 “And make mention (O Muhammad) in the Scripture of Abraham. Lo! he was a saint, a prophet.” (19:41) 67 00:08:15,540 --> 00:08:26,600 “When he said unto his father: O my father! Why worshippest thou that which heareth not nor seeth, nor can in aught avail thee?” (19:42) 68 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:42,600 “O my father! Lo! there hath come unto me of knowledge that which came not unto thee. So follow me, and I will lead thee on a right path.” (19:43) 69 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:54,080 “O my father! Serve not the devil. Lo! the devil is a rebel unto the Beneficent.” (19:44) 70 00:08:54,080 --> 00:09:14,080 “O my father! Lo! I fear lest a punishment from the Beneficent overtake thee so that thou become a comrade of the devil.” (19:45) 71 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:30,080 He said, "Do you turn away from my gods, O Abraham? If you do not desist, I will surely stone you, so leave me for a long while." 72 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:42,080 “He said: Peace be unto thee! I shall ask forgiveness of my Lord for thee. Lo! He was ever gracious unto me.” (19:47) 73 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:58,080 “I shall withdraw from you and that unto which ye pray beside Allah, and I shall pray unto my Lord. It may be that, in prayer unto my Lord, I shall not be unblest.” (19:48) 74 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:08,080 “So, when he had withdrawn from them and that which they were worshipping beside Allah, We gave him Isaac and Jacob. Each of them We made a prophet.” (19:49) 75 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:21,080 And each of them We made a prophet. And We bestowed upon them of Our mercy, and We granted them an honorable and lofty reputation. 76 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:33,080 “And make mention in the Scripture of Moses. Lo! he was chosen, and he was a messenger (of Allah), a prophet.” (19:51) 77 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:47,080 And We called him from the right side of the Mount and brought him near for intimate conversation. And We bestowed upon him out of Our mercy his brother Aaron as a prophet. 78 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:59,080 “And make mention in the Scripture of Ishmael. Lo! he was a keeper of his promise, and he was a messenger (of Allah), a prophet.” (19:54) 79 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:08,080 “He enjoined upon his people worship and almsgiving, and was acceptable in the sight of his Lord.” (19:55) 80 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:23,169 And mention in the Book, Idris. Indeed, he was a man of truth, a prophet, and We raised him to a high station. 81 00:11:23,169 --> 00:11:46,169 “These are they unto whom Allah showed favour from among the prophets, of the seed of Adam and of those whom We carried (in the ship) with Noah, and of the seed of Abraham and Israel, and from among those whom We guided and chose. When the revelations of the Beneficent were recited unto them, they fell down, adoring and weeping.” (19:58) 82 00:11:46,169 --> 00:12:13,169 “These are they unto whom Allah showed favour from among the prophets, of the seed of Adam and of those whom We carried (in the ship) with Noah, and of the seed of Abraham and Israel, and from among those whom We guided and chose. When the revelations of the Beneficent were recited unto them, they fell down, adoring and weeping.” (19:58) 83 00:12:13,169 --> 00:12:25,169 But there succeeded them successors who neglected prayer and pursued desires, so they will soon face ruin, 84 00:12:25,169 --> 00:12:55,220 Except those who repent, believe, and do righteous deeds; for those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged in the least—Gardens of Eternity which the Most Merciful has promised His servants in the unseen. Indeed, His promise is always fulfilled. 85 00:12:55,220 --> 00:13:07,220 “They hear therein no idle talk, but only Peace; and therein they have food for morn and evening.” (19:62) 86 00:13:07,220 --> 00:13:16,220 “Such is the Garden which We cause the devout among Our bondmen to inherit.” (19:63) 87 00:13:17,220 --> 00:13:31,220 “We (angels) come not down save by commandment of thy Lord. Unto Him belongeth all that is before us and all that is behind us and all that is between those two, and thy Lord was never forgetful -” (19:64) 88 00:13:31,220 --> 00:13:43,220 Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, so worship Him and remain steadfast in His worship. Do you know of any equal to Him? 89 00:13:43,220 --> 00:13:50,220 “And man saith: When I am dead, shall I forsooth be brought forth alive?” (19:66) 90 00:13:50,220 --> 00:14:01,220 Does man not remember that We created him before, when he was nothing? 91 00:14:01,220 --> 00:14:18,059 “And, by thy Lord, verily We shall assemble them and the devils, then We shall bring them, crouching, around hell.” (19:68) 92 00:14:18,059 --> 00:14:29,019 “Then We shall pluck out from every sect whichever of them was most stubborn in rebellion to the Beneficent.” (19:69) 93 00:14:29,019 --> 00:14:36,019 “And surely We are Best Aware of those most worthy to be burned therein.” (19:70) 94 00:14:36,019 --> 00:14:47,340 “There is not one of you but shall approach it. That is a fixed ordinance of thy Lord.” (19:71) 95 00:14:47,340 --> 00:14:55,340 “Then We shall rescue those who kept from evil, and leave the evil-doers crouching there.” (19:72) 96 00:14:55,340 --> 00:15:17,340 “And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them, those who disbelieve say unto those who believe: Which of the two parties (yours or ours) is better in position, and more imposing as an army?” (19:73) 97 00:15:17,340 --> 00:15:26,340 “How many a generation have We destroyed before them, who were more imposing in respect of gear and outward seeming!” (19:74) 98 00:15:26,340 --> 00:15:33,340 “Say: As for him who is in error, the Beneficent will verily prolong his span of life until, when they behold that which they were promised, whether it be punishment (in the world), or the Hour (of doom), they will know who is worse in position and who is weaker as an army.” (19:75) 99 00:15:33,340 --> 00:15:50,340 “Say: As for him who is in error, the Beneficent will verily prolong his span of life until, when they behold that which they were promised, whether it be punishment (in the world), or the Hour (of doom), they will know who is worse in position and who is weaker as an army.” (19:75) 100 00:15:50,340 --> 00:15:55,340 And Allah increases in guidance those who are guided, 101 00:15:55,340 --> 00:16:06,340 “Allah increaseth in right guidance those who walk aright, and the good deeds which endure are better in thy Lord's sight for reward, and better for resort.” (19:76) 102 00:16:06,340 --> 00:16:16,340 “Hast thou seen him who disbelieveth in Our revelations and saith: Assuredly I shall be given wealth and children?” (19:77) 103 00:16:16,340 --> 00:16:23,340 “Hath he perused the Unseen, or hath he made a pact with the Beneficent?” (19:78) 104 00:16:23,340 --> 00:16:30,340 “Nay, but We shall record that which he saith and prolong for him a span of torment.” (19:79) 105 00:16:30,340 --> 00:16:35,340 “And We shall inherit from him that whereof he spake, and he will come unto Us, alone (without his wealth and children).” (19:80) 106 00:16:35,340 --> 00:16:43,429 “And they have chosen (other) gods beside Allah that they may be a power for them.” (19:81) 107 00:16:43,429 --> 00:16:51,429 “Nay, but they will deny their worship of them, and become opponents unto them.” (19:82) 108 00:16:51,429 --> 00:17:00,429 “Seest thou not that We have set the devils on the disbelievers to confound them with confusion?” (19:83) 109 00:17:00,429 --> 00:17:08,430 “So make no haste against them (O Muhammad). We do but number unto them a sum (of days).” (19:84) 110 00:17:08,430 --> 00:17:13,430 “On the day when We shall gather the righteous unto the Beneficent, a goodly company.” (19:85) 111 00:17:13,430 --> 00:17:19,430 “And drive the guilty unto hell, a weary herd,” (19:86) 112 00:17:19,430 --> 00:17:28,430 “They will have no power of intercession, save him who hath made a covenant with his Lord.” (19:87) 113 00:17:28,430 --> 00:17:32,430 And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken a son." 114 00:17:32,430 --> 00:17:35,430 You have certainly fabricated an atrocious thing, 115 00:17:35,430 --> 00:17:45,430 “Whereby almost the heavens are torn, and the earth is split asunder and the mountains fall in ruins,” (19:90) 116 00:17:46,430 --> 00:17:51,430 “That ye ascribe unto the Beneficent a son,” (19:91) 117 00:17:51,430 --> 00:17:58,430 “When it is not meet for (the Majesty of) the Beneficent that He should choose a son.” (19:92) 118 00:17:58,430 --> 00:18:07,359 “There is none in the heavens and the earth but cometh unto the Beneficent as a slave.” (19:93) 119 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:12,359 “Verily He knoweth them and numbereth them with (right) numbering.” (19:94) 120 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:17,359 “And each one of them will come unto Him on the Day of Resurrection, alone.” (19:95) 121 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:23,160 Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds— 122 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,160 “Lo! those who believe and do good works, the Beneficent will appoint for them love.” (19:96) 123 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:39,160 “And We make (this Scripture) easy in thy tongue, (O Muhammad) only that thou mayst bear good tidings therewith unto those who ward off (evil), and warn therewith the froward folk.” (19:97) 124 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:44,160 “And We make (this Scripture) easy in thy tongue, (O Muhammad) only that thou mayst bear good tidings therewith unto those who ward off (evil), and warn therewith the froward folk.” (19:97) 125 00:18:44,160 --> 00:19:00,450 “And how many a generation before them have We destroyed! Canst thou (Muhammad) see a single man of them, or hear from them the slightest sound?” (19:98)
