Shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards yourself and, it will drop upon you ripe fresh dates.

19:26
So eat, drink and cool your eyes. Then if you see any human being, say (to him), .I have vowed a fast (of silence) for the All-Merciful (Allah,) and therefore, I shall never speak to any human today..

19:27
Then she came to her people carrying him (the baby). They said, .O Maryam you have committed something grave indeed.

19:28
O sister of Harun, neither your father was a man of evil nor was your mother unchaste..

19:29
So, she pointed towards him (the baby). They said, .How shall we speak to someone who is still a child in the cradle?.

19:30
Spoke he (the baby), .Verily I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Book, and made me a prophet,

19:31
and He has made me a blessed one wherever I be, and has enjoined Salah and Zakah upon me as long as I am alive,

19:32
and (He has made me) good to my mother, and he did not make me oppressive (or) ill-fated.

19:33
And peace is upon me the day I was born, the day I shall die, and the day I shall be raised alive again..

19:34
That is =Isa, the son of Maryam, to say the truth in which they (Christians) are disputing

They say, .The All-Merciful (Allah) has got a son..

19:89 Indeed you have come up with such an abominable statement

19:90 that the heavens are well-nigh to explode at it, and the earth to burst apart, and the mountains to fall down crumbling,

19:91
for they have ascribed a son to the All-Merciful (Allah),

19:92
while it does not behove the All-Merciful to have a son.

19:93
There is none in the heavens and the earth, but bound to come to the All-Merciful as a salve.

19:94
He has fully encompassed them and precisely calculated their numbers,

19:95
and each one of them is bound to come to Him on the Day of Judgment, all alone.

19:96
Surely, those who believe and do righteous deeds, for them the All-Merciful (Allah) will create love.

19:97
So We have made it (the Qur‘an) easy through your tongue, so that you give with it the good news to the God-fearing, and warn with it an obstinate people.

19:98
And how many a generation We have destroyed before them! Do you sense (the presence of) any one of them, or hear from them even a whisper?

They say, .Why is it that no sign (of our choice) has been sent down to him from his Lord?. Say, .Allah is surely powerful enough to send down a sign.. But most of them do not know.

TAFSIR IBN ABBAS – ENGLISH

(They indeed are losers who deny their meeting with Allah) i.e. deny their resurrection after death; Allah says: leave them (until, when the Hour cometh on them suddenly, they cry: Alas for us) how great is our sadness, and how sorry we are, (that we neglected it!) that we neglected faith and repentance in our worldly life.

[6:13] To him belongeth all that dwelleth (or lurketh) in the night and the day. For he is the one who heareth and knoweth all things."

TAFSIR IBN ABBAS – ENGLISH

(Say) O Muhammad, to the people of Mecca: (Unto whom belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth) of created beings? If they answer you, fine; if not, (Say: Unto Allah) belongs the creation of the heavens and the earth. (He hath prescribed for Himself mercy) for the Community of Muhammad (pbuh) in deferring His punishment, (that He may bring you all together) by Allah, He will bring you all together (to a Day) to the Day of Judgement (whereof there is no doubt. Those who ruin their own souls) as well as their dwellings, servants and spouses in Paradise (will not believe) in Muhammad and the Qur'an.

And about their saying to Muhammad (pbuh): "revert to our religion and we shall make you rich, marry you, give you status and make you king over us", Allah said: (Unto Him belongeth whatsoever resteth in the night and the day. He is the Hearer) of their saying, (the Knower) of their punishment and of the provisions of created beings.

For Allah loveth those who do good.

TAFSIR IBN ABBAS – ENGLISH

Then Allah revealed about a group of men from the Emigrants and the Helpers who asked the Prophet (pbuh): “what shall happen to those of us who died drinking intoxicant drinks before they were made unlawful”, saying: (There shall be no sin (imputed) unto those who believe) in Muhammad and the Qur'an (and do good works) that is between them and their Lord (for what they may have eaten (in the past)) for what they have drunk in the past before intoxicants were made unlawful, whether those who did it are dead or still living. (So be mindful of your duty (to Allah)) if they warded off disbelief, idolatry and indecencies, (and do good works) that is between them and their Lord; (and again: be mindful of your duty) ward off making intoxicants lawful after they were made unlawful; this address is to the believers who are still living, (and believe) in the unlawfulness of intoxicant; (and once again: be mindful of your duty) ward off drinking it, (and do right) leave the drinking of it.
