وَالسَّلامُ عَلَيَّ يَومَ وُلِدتُ وَيَومَ أَموتُ وَيَومَ أُبعَثُ حَيًّا

Peace is upon me the day I was born, the day I will die, and the day I will be resurrected alive.”

ذٰلِكَ عيسَى ابنُ مَريَمَ ۚ قَولَ الحَقِّ الَّذي فيهِ يَمتَرونَ

This is Jesus, the son of Mary, the Word of Truth about which they are in dispute.

ما كانَ لِلَّهِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ مِن وَلَدٍ ۖ سُبحانَهُ ۚ إِذا قَضىٰ أَمرًا فَإِنَّما يَقولُ لَهُ كُن فَيَكونُ

It’s not for God to have a child. Glory be to Him! When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, “Be,” and it becomes.

وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ رَبّي وَرَبُّكُم فَاعبُدوهُ ۚ هـٰذا صِراطٌ مُستَقيمٌ

“God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. This is a straight path.”

فَاختَلَفَ الأَحزابُ مِن بَينِهِم ۖ فَوَيلٌ لِلَّذينَ كَفَروا مِن مَشهَدِ يَومٍ عَظيمٍ

However, the factions disagreed among themselves. Woe to those who disbelieve—from the scene of a tremendous Day.

وَأَنذِرهُم يَومَ الحَسرَةِ إِذ قُضِيَ الأَمرُ وَهُم في غَفلَةٍ وَهُم لا يُؤمِنونَ

Warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be finalized, while they remain oblivious and they don’t believe.

إِنّا نَحنُ نَرِثُ الأَرضَ وَمَن عَلَيها وَإِلَينا يُرجَعونَ

It is We who will inherit the earth and all who are on it, and to Us, they will be returned.

وَاذكُر فِي الكِتابِ إِبراهيمَ ۚ إِنَّهُ كانَ صِدّيقًا نَبِيًّا

And mention in the Scripture Abraham, a man of truth, a prophet.

إِذ قالَ لِأَبيهِ يا أَبَتِ لِمَ تَعبُدُ ما لا يَسمَعُ وَلا يُبصِرُ وَلا يُغني عَنكَ شَيئًا

When he said to his father, “O my father, why do you worship what can neither hear nor see and can’t benefit you in any way?

يا أَبَتِ إِنّي قَد جاءَني مِنَ العِلمِ ما لَم يَأتِكَ فَاتَّبِعني أَهدِكَ صِراطًا سَوِيًّا

O my father, a specific knowledge that didn’t come to you has come to me. So follow me, and I will guide you to a straight path.
