the Holy Quran in English Translation: Mamdouk Bickthal SuratMARYAM 61:98

[19:61]
Gardens of Eden, which the Beneficent hath promised to His slaves in the unseen. Lo! His promise is ever sure of fulfilment -
[19:62]
They hear therein no idle talk, but only Peace; and therein they have food for morn and evening.
[19:63]
Such is the Garden which We cause the devout among Our bondmen to inherit.
[19:64]
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 -
[19:65]
Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them! Therefor, worship thou Him and be thou steadfast in His service. Knowest thou one that can be named along with Him ?
[19:66]
And man saith: When I am dead, shall I forsooth be brought forth alive ?
[19:67]
Doth not man remember that We created him before, when he was naught ?
[19:68]
And, by thy Lord, verily We shall assemble them and the devils, then We shall bring them, crouching, around hell.
[19:69]
Then We shall pluck out from every sect whichever of them was most stubborn in rebellion to the Beneficent.
[19:70]
And surely We are Best Aware of those most worthy to be burned therein.
[19:71]
There is not one of you but shall approach it. That is a fixed ordinance of thy Lord.
[19:72]
Then We shall rescue those who kept from evil, and leave the evil- doers crouching there.
[19:73]
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 ?
[19:74]
How many a generation have We destroyed before them, who were more imposing in respect of gear and outward seeming!
[19:75]
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.
[19:76]
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.
[19:77]
Hast thou seen him who disbelieveth in Our revelations and saith: Assuredly I shall be given wealth and children ?
[19:78]
Hath he perused the Unseen, or hath he made a pact with the Beneficent ?
[19:79]
Nay, but We shall record that which he saith and prolong for him a span of torment.
[19:80]
And We shall inherit from him that whereof he spake, and he will come unto Us, alone (without his wealth and children).
[19:81]
And they have chosen (other) gods beside Allah that they may be a power for them.
[19:82]
Nay, but they will deny their worship of them, and become opponents unto them.
[19:83]
Seest thou not that We have set the devils on the disbelievers to confound them with confusion ?
[19:84]
So make no haste against them (O Muhammad). We do but number unto them a sum (of days).
[19:85]
On the day when We shall gather the righteous unto the Beneficent, a goodly company.
[19:86]
And drive the guilty unto hell, a weary herd,
[19:87]
They will have no power of intercession, save him who hath made a covenant with his Lord.
[19:88]
And they say: The Beneficent hath taken unto Himself a son.
[19:89]
Assuredly ye utter a disastrous thing
[19:90]
Whereby almost the heavens are torn, and the earth is split asunder and the mountains fall in ruins,
[19:91]
That ye ascribe unto the Beneficent a son,
[19:92]
When it is not meet for (the Majesty of) the Beneficent that He should choose a son.




[19:93]
There is none in the heavens and the earth but cometh unto the Beneficent as a slave.
[19:94]
Verily He knoweth them and numbereth them with (right) numbering.
[19:95]
And each one of them will come unto Him on the Day of Resurrection, alone.
[19:96]
Lo! those who believe and do good works, the Beneficent will appoint for them love.
[19:97]
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.
[19:98]
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 ?
