As-salaam wa-alaikum, brothers and sisters.
Summary
Today’s selection concludes Surah 19, Maryam or Mary, verses 83-98. These verses assert that no god other than Allah will be able to save you on the Day of Judgment and that the idea of Allah begetting a son is so false that even the Heavens would be rent asunder at the notion. Lastly, God has made the Qur’an easy for mankind to understand.

Verses
Bis-millahi ar-rahman, ar-raheem.
In the name of Allah, most gracious, most merciful.Don’t you see that We have sent down to the unbelievers shaitãns who incite them against the Truth?[83] Therefore be not in haste against them, their days are numbered.[84] The Day will surely come when We will gather the righteous like honored guests before the Compassionate (Allah),[85] and drive the criminals to Hell like thirsty cattle are driven to water.[86] None shall have the power to intercede except the one who may receive the sanction of the Allah.[87] Those who say: “God has begotten a son,”[88] certainly preach such a monstrous falsehood,[89] that the very Heavens might crack, the earth might cleave asunder and the mountains might crumble to pieces[90] – at their ascribing a son to God,[91] It is not befitting to God that He should beget a son.[92] There is none in the heavens and in the earth but must come to Allah in full submission.[93] He has a comprehensive knowledge and has kept strict count of all His creatures,[94] and every one of them will come to Him individually on the Day of Resurrection.[95] Surely the Beneficent will bring about love for those who believe and do good deeds.[96] We have made this Qur’an easy in your own language so that you may give good news to the righteous and warn the headstrong contentious folk.[97] How many generations have We destroyed before them! Can you see any of them, or hear even a sound of them?[98] 19:[83-98]
Ameen.
This concludes today’s episode of the 17 Verses Podcast. I hope that this selection has helped increase your understanding of the holy Qur’an just a little bit.
