19:82Page 311
كـَلَّاۚ سَيَكۡفُرُونَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمۡ وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضِدًّا ٨٢
No! They [i.e., those "gods"] will deny their worship of them and will be against them opponents [on the Day of Judgement].
(Nay, but they will deny their worship of them) i.e. the idols will absolve themselves from the disbelievers' worship of them, (and become) i.e. the idols (opponents unto them) a help in the torment of the disbelievers.
19:83Page 311
أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ تَؤُزُّهُمۡ أَزّٗا ٨٣
Do you not see that We have sent the devils upon the disbelievers, inciting them [to evil] with [constant] incitement?
(Seest thou not) have you not been informed, O Muhammad, (that We have set the devils on the disbelievers to confound them with confusion) they forcefully drive them to disobey Allah and strongly entice them to do so?
19:84Page 311
فَلَا تَعۡجَلۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡۖ إِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمۡ عَدّٗا ٨٤
So be not impatient over them. We only count out [i.e., allow] to them a [limited] number.1
(So make no haste against them (O Muhammad)) do not hasten chastisement upon them. (We do but number unto them a sum) one breath after another.
19:85Page 311
يَوۡمَ نَحۡشُرُ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ إِلَى ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ وَفۡدٗا ٨٥
On the Day We will gather the righteous to the Most Merciful as a delegation
(On the Day) which is the Day of Judgement (when We shall gather the righteous) those who ward off disbelief, idolatry and indecency (unto the Beneficent) unto the Garden of the Beneficent, (a goodly company) mounting on she-camels.
19:86Page 311
وَنَسُوقُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ وِرۡدٗا ٨٦
And will drive the criminals to Hell in thirst

19:87Page 311
لَّا يَمۡلِكُونَ ٱلشَّفَٰعَةَ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱتَّخَذَ عِندَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ عَهۡدٗا ٨٧
None will have [power of] intercession except he who had taken from the Most Merciful a covenant.1
(They will have no power of intercession) the angels will not intercede for anyone, (save him who hath made a covenant with his Lord) through the attestation of �there is no deity except Allah�.
19:88Page 311
وَقَالُواْ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَلَدٗا ٨٨
And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken [for Himself] a son."
(And they say) i.e. the Jews: (The Beneficent hath taken unto Himself a son) He has taken Ezra ('Uzayr) as his son.
(Assuredly you utter a disastrous thing) you utter ignominious evil words,
19:90Page 311
تَكَادُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ يَتَفَطَّرۡنَ مِنۡهُ وَتَنشَقُّ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَتَخِرُّ ٱلۡجِبَالُ هَدًّا ٩٠
The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation
(Whereby almost the heavens are torn) crack, (and the earth is split asunder and the mountains fall in ruins),
(That ye ascribe unto the Beneficent a son) Ezra,
19:92Page 311
وَمَا يَنۢبَغِي لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا ٩٢
And it is not appropriate for the Most Merciful that He should take a son.
(When it is not meet for (the Majesty of) the Beneficent that He should choose a son) It does not befit him to take Ezra as a son.
19:93Page 311
إِن كُلُّ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَّآ ءَاتِي ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ عَبۡدٗا ٩٣
There is no one in the heavens and earth but that he comes to the Most Merciful as a servant.
(There is none in the heavens and the earth but cometh unto the Beneficent as a slave) acknowledging his servitude to the All-Merciful and obedient to Him except, that is, the disbelievers.
19:94Page 311
لَّقَدۡ أَحۡصَىٰهُمۡ وَعَدَّهُمۡ عَدّٗا ٩٤
He has enumerated them and counted them a [full] counting.
(Verily He knoweth them) He remembers them (and numbereth them with (right) numbering) and He knows their number.
19:95Page 311
وَكُلُّهُمۡ ءَاتِيهِ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ فَرۡدًا ٩٥
And all of them are coming to Him on the Day of Resurrection alone.
(And each one of them will come unto Him) and each of them will come to Allah (on the Day of Resurrection, alone) without wealth or offspring.
19:96Page 312
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ سَيَجۡعَلُ لَهُمُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وُدّٗا ٩٦
Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - the Most Merciful will appoint for them affection.1
(Lo! those who believe) in Muhammad (pbuh) and in the Qur'an (and do good works) between them and their Lord, (the Beneficent will appoint for them love) Allah will love them and make people love them.
19:97Page 312
فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرۡنَٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ وَتُنذِرَ بِهِۦ قَوۡمٗا لُّدّٗا ٩٧
So, [O Muḥammad], We have only made it [i.e., the Qur’ān] easy in your tongue [i.e., the Arabic language] that you may give good tidings thereby to the righteous and warn thereby a hostile people.
(And We make (this Scripture) easy in your tongue) We made the recitation of the Qur'an easy for you, ((O Muhammad) only that thou mayst bear good tidings therewith) by means of the Qur'an (unto those who ward off (evil)) disbelief, idolatry and indecency, (and warn therewith) by means of the Qur'an (the froward folk) people who argue by means of falsehood.
19:98Page 312
وَكَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا قَبۡلَهُم مِّن قَرۡنٍ هَلۡ تُحِسُّ مِنۡهُم مِّنۡ أَحَدٍ أَوۡ تَسۡمَعُ لَهُمۡ رِكۡزَۢا ٩٨
And how many have We destroyed before them of generations? Do you perceive of them anyone or hear from them a sound?
(And how many a generation) many a bygone nation (before them) before your own people, O Muhammad, (have We destroyed! Canst thou (Muhammad) see a single man of them) after having destroyed them, (or hear from them the slightest sound) after being annihilated and turned into ruins?'
