190 The Quran 18: 106 give them no weight. 106 Their recompense for having disbelieved and made fun of My messages and My messengers will be Hell. 107 But those who believe and do good deeds will be given the Gardens of Paradise. 108 There they will remain, never wishing to leave. 109 Say [Prophet], ‘If the whole ocean a were ink for writing the words of my Lord, it would run dry before those words were exhausted’– even if We were to add another ocean to it. 110 Say, ‘I am only a human being, like you, to whom it has been revealed that your God is One. Anyone who fears b to meet his Lord should do good deeds and give no one a share in the worship due to his Lord. a The term bahr refers to all wide expanses of water. b See note to 10: 7.
19. MARY A Meccan sura which takes its name from the story of Mary (verses 16–35). It recounts the grace given by God to a number of prophets and tells aspects of their stories. The claim that Jesus is the son of God is firmly denied, as is the assertion of the pagans of Mecca that the angels are God’s daughters. From verses 66 to 98 the sura discusses the arrogant assertions of the disbelievers of Mecca. The Prophet is told that God’s punishment is coming to them and exhorted not to be impatient for it to arrive or to receive the revelation (verses 64–5). In the name of God, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy 1 Kaf Ha Ya Ayn Sad 2 This is an account of your Lord’s grace towards His servant, Zachariah, 3 when he called to his Lord secretly, saying, 4 ‘Lord, my bones have weakened and my hair is ashen grey, but never, Lord, have I ever prayed to You in vain: 5 I fear [what] my kinsmen [will do] when I am gone, for my wife is barren, so grant me a successor––a gift from You––6 to be my heir and the heir of the family of Jacob. Lord, make him well pleasing [to You].’ 7 ‘Zachariah, We bring you good news of a son whose name will be John––We have chosen this name for no one before him.’ 8 He said, ‘Lord, how can I have a son when my wife is barren, and I am old and frail?’ 9 He said, ‘This is what your Lord has said: “It is easy for Me: I created you, though you were nothing before.” ’ 10 He said, ‘Give me a sign, Lord.’ He said, ‘Your sign is that you will not [be able to] speak to anyone for three full [days and] nights.’ 11 He went out of the sanctuary to his people and signalled to them to praise God morning and evening. 12 [We said], ‘John, hold on to the Scripture firmly.’ While he was still a boy, We granted him wisdom, 13 tenderness from Us, and purity. He was devout, 14 kind to his parents, not domineering or rebellious. 15 Peace was on him the day he was born, the day he died, and it will be on him the day he is raised to life again. 16 Mention in the Quran the story of Mary.
