Sahih International — English — Maryam

And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Which of [our] two parties is best in position and best in association?"

And how many a generation have We destroyed before them who were better in possessions and [outward] appearance?

Say, "Whoever is in error - let the Most Merciful extend for him an extension [in wealth and time] until, when they see that which they were promised - either punishment [in this world] or the Hour [of resurrection] - they will come to know who is worst in position and weaker in soldiers."

And Allah increases those who were guided, in guidance, and the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for recourse.

Then, have you seen he who disbelieved in Our verses and said, "I will surely be given wealth and children [in the next life]?"

Has he looked into the unseen, or has he taken from the Most Merciful a promise?

No! We will record what he says and extend for him from the punishment extensively.

And We will inherit him [in] what he mentions, and he will come to Us alone.

And they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that they would be for them [a source of] honor.

No! Those "gods" will deny their worship of them and will be against them opponents [on the Day of Judgement].

Do you not see that We have sent the devils upon the disbelievers, inciting them to [evil] with [constant] incitement?

So be not impatient over them. We only count out to them a [limited] number.

On the Day We will gather the righteous to the Most Merciful as a delegation

And will drive the criminals to Hell in thirst

None will have [power of] intercession except he who had taken from the Most Merciful a covenant.

And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken [for Himself] a son."

You have done an atrocious thing.

The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation

That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son.

And it is not appropriate for the Most Merciful that He should take a son.

There is no one in the heavens and earth but that he comes to the Most Merciful as a servant.

He has enumerated them and counted them a [full] counting.

And all of them are coming to Him on the Day of Resurrection alone.

Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - the Most Merciful will appoint for them affection.
