Al-Ma'idah - The Table Spread

المائدة
Verse 111

وَإِذ أَوحَيتُ إِلَى الحَوارِيّينَ أَن آمِنوا بي وَبِرَسولي قالوا آمَنّا وَاشهَد بِأَنَّنا مُسلِمونَ

“When I inspired the disciples to believe in Me and My Messenger, they declared, ‘We have believed, and witness that we are in submission.’”

Verse 112

إِذ قالَ الحَوارِيّونَ يا عيسَى ابنَ مَريَمَ هَل يَستَطيعُ رَبُّكَ أَن يُنَزِّلَ عَلَينا مائِدَةً مِنَ السَّماءِ ۖ قالَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِن كُنتُم مُؤمِنينَ

The disciples asked, ‘O Jesus, son of Mary, is your Lord able to send down to us a feast from heaven?’ He replied, ‘Fear God, if you are believers.’”

Verse 113

قالوا نُريدُ أَن نَأكُلَ مِنها وَتَطمَئِنَّ قُلوبُنا وَنَعلَمَ أَن قَد صَدَقتَنا وَنَكونَ عَلَيها مِنَ الشّاهِدينَ

They said, “We wish to eat from it to reassure our hearts, to confirm that you’ve told us the truth, and to bear witness to it.”

Verse 114

قالَ عيسَى ابنُ مَريَمَ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنا أَنزِل عَلَينا مائِدَةً مِنَ السَّماءِ تَكونُ لَنا عيدًا لِأَوَّلِنا وَآخِرِنا وَآيَةً مِنكَ ۖ وَارزُقنا وَأَنتَ خَيرُ الرّازِقينَ

Jesus, son of Mary, said, “O God, our Lord, send us a table spread from heaven, to serve as a festive occasion for us—for the first of us and the last—and as a sign from You. Provide for us, for You are the Best of Providers.”

Verse 115

قالَ اللَّهُ إِنّي مُنَزِّلُها عَلَيكُم ۖ فَمَن يَكفُر بَعدُ مِنكُم فَإِنّي أُعَذِّبُهُ عَذابًا لا أُعَذِّبُهُ أَحَدًا مِنَ العالَمينَ

God responded, “I will send it down to you. But if any of you disbelieve afterward, I will indeed inflict a punishment upon him the likes of which I have not inflicted upon anyone in the worlds.”

وَإِذ قالَ اللَّهُ يا عيسَى ابنَ مَريَمَ أَأَنتَ قُلتَ لِلنّاسِ اتَّخِذوني وَأُمِّيَ إِلـٰهَينِ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ ۖ قالَ سُبحانَكَ ما يَكونُ لي أَن أَقولَ ما لَيسَ لي بِحَقٍّ ۚ إِن كُنتُ قُلتُهُ فَقَد عَلِمتَهُ ۚ تَعلَمُ ما في نَفسي وَلا أَعلَمُ ما في نَفسِكَ ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ عَلّامُ الغُيوبِ

And when God said, “O Jesus, son of Mary, did you instruct people to take you and your mother as gods below God?” He will reply, “Glory be to You! It’s not for me to say what I have no right to.” Had I said it, You would’ve known it. You know what’s in my soul, yet I don’t know what’s in your soul. Indeed, You Alone are the Knower of all things unseen.

Verse 117

ما قُلتُ لَهُم إِلّا ما أَمَرتَني بِهِ أَنِ اعبُدُوا اللَّهَ رَبّي وَرَبَّكُم ۚ وَكُنتُ عَلَيهِم شَهيدًا ما دُمتُ فيهِم ۖ فَلَمّا تَوَفَّيتَني كُنتَ أَنتَ الرَّقيبَ عَلَيهِم ۚ وَأَنتَ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيءٍ شَهيدٌ

I only told them what You commanded me: ‘Worship God, my Lord, and your Lord.’ I was a witness over them as long as I was among them. But when You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are the Witness to everything.

Verse 118

إِن تُعَذِّبهُم فَإِنَّهُم عِبادُكَ ۖ وَإِن تَغفِر لَهُم فَإِنَّكَ أَنتَ العَزيزُ الحَكيمُ

If You punish them, they are Your servants; but if You forgive them, You are the Mighty and Wise.’”

Verse 119

قالَ اللَّهُ هـٰذا يَومُ يَنفَعُ الصّادِقينَ صِدقُهُم ۚ لَهُم جَنّاتٌ تَجري مِن تَحتِهَا الأَنهارُ خالِدينَ فيها أَبَدًا ۚ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنهُم وَرَضوا عَنهُ ۚ ذٰلِكَ الفَوزُ العَظيمُ

God will then say, “This day the truthful will benefit from their truthfulness.” They will have Gardens through which rivers flow, where they will abide forever. God is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. This is the greatest triumph.

Verse 120

لِلَّهِ مُلكُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ وَما فيهِنَّ ۚ وَهُوَ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَديرٌ

To God belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth and all that’s within them, and He is capable of everything.
