Sura-19 [Maryam mecca 44]


The Quranic Text & Ali’s version:



وَمَا يَنبَغِي لِلرَّحْمَنِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا ﴿٩٢﴾

19:92.  For it is not consonant with the majesty of (Allah) Most Gracious that He should beget a son.

C2530. This basic principle was laid down early in the argument (19:35).

It was illustrated by a reference to the personal history of many messengers, including Jesus himself, who behaved justly as men to their kith and kin and humbly served Allah.

The evil results of such superstitions were pointed out in the case of many previous generations which went to their ruin by dishonouring Allah.

And the argument is now rounded off towards the close of the Surah.

إِن كُلُّ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ إِلَّا آتِي الرَّحْمَنِ عَبْدًا ﴿٩٣﴾

19:93.  Not one of the beings in the heavens and the earth but must come to (Allah) Most Gracious as a servant.


Asad’s Version:





(19:92) although it is inconceivable that the Most Gracious should take unto Himself a son! 77


19:93


Not one of all [the beings] that are in the heavens or on earth appears before the Most Gracious other than as a servant: 78
