The Night Journey (111 Ayahs)

سُبۡحٰنَ الَّذِىۡۤ اَسۡرٰى بِعَبۡدِهٖ لَيۡلًا مِّنَ الۡمَسۡجِدِ الۡحَرَامِ اِلَى الۡمَسۡجِدِ الۡاَقۡصَا الَّذِىۡ بٰرَكۡنَا حَوۡلَهٗ لِنُرِيَهٗ مِنۡ اٰيٰتِنَا ؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِيۡعُ الۡبَصِيۡرُ‏ ١

17:1

Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al-Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, in order to show him some of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing.

وَاٰتَيۡنَا مُوۡسَى الۡكِتٰبَ وَجَعَلۡنٰهُ هُدًى لِّبَنِىۡۤ اِسۡرٰٓءِيۡلَ اَلَّا تَتَّخِذُوۡا مِنۡ دُوۡنِىۡ وَكِيۡلًا ۙ‏ ٢

17:2

And We gave Moses the Scripture and made it a guidance for the Children of Israel that you take not, besides Me, any disposer of affairs.

ذُرِّيَّةَ مَنۡ حَمَلۡنَا مَعَ نُوۡحٍ ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ عَبۡدًا شَكُوۡرًا‏ ٣

17:3

[They were] the descendants of those We carried [in the ark] with Noah. Indeed, he was a grateful servant.

وَقَضَيۡنَاۤ اِلٰى بَنِىۡۤ اِسۡرٰٓءِيۡلَ فِىۡ الۡكِتٰبِ لَتُفۡسِدُنَّ فِىۡ الۡاَرۡضِ مَرَّتَيۡنِ وَلَتَعۡلُنَّ عُلُوًّا كَبِيۡرًا‏ ٤

17:4

And We conveyed to the Children of Israel in the Scripture that, "You will surely cause corruption in the land twice, and you will surely reach [a degree of] great haughtiness."

فَاِذَا جَآءَ وَعۡدُ اُوۡلٰٮهُمَا بَعَثۡنَا عَلَيۡكُمۡ عِبَادًا لَّنَاۤ اُولِىۡ بَاۡسٍ شَدِيۡدٍ فَجَاسُوۡا خِلٰلَ الدِّيَارِ ؕ وَكَانَ وَعۡدًا مَّفۡعُوۡلًا‏ ٥

17:5

So when the promise came for the first of [those periods], We sent against you servants of Ours - those of great military might, and they entered the homes [of your city], and it was a promise fulfilled.

ثُمَّ رَدَدۡنَا لَكُمُ الۡكَرَّةَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَاَمۡدَدۡنٰكُمۡ بِاَمۡوَالٍ وَّبَنِيۡنَ وَجَعَلۡنٰكُمۡ اَكۡثَرَ نَفِيۡرًا‏ ٦

17:6

Then We gave back to you a return victory over them. And We reinforced you with wealth and sons and made you more numerous in manpower.

اِنۡ اَحۡسَنۡتُمۡ اَحۡسَنۡتُمۡ لِاَنۡفُسِكُمۡ ؕ وَ اِنۡ اَسَاۡتُمۡ فَلَهَا ؕ فَاِذَا جَآءَ وَعۡدُ الۡاٰخِرَةِ لِيَسُوۡٓءُوۡا وُجُوۡهَكُمۡ وَلِيَدۡخُلُوۡا الۡمَسۡجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوۡهُ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَّلِيُتَبِّرُوۡا مَا عَلَوۡا تَتۡبِيۡرًا‏ ٧

17:7

If you do good, you do good for yourselves; and if you do evil, it is against yourselves. Then when the final promise came, [We sent them] to sadden your faces and [to allow them] to enter the temple [of Jerusalem] as they entered it the first time and to destroy what they had conquered with [total] destruction.

عَسٰى رَبُّكُمۡ اَنۡ يَّرۡحَمَكُمۡ ۚ وَ اِنۡ عُدۡتُّمۡ عُدۡنَا ۘ وَ جَعَلۡنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ حَصِيۡرًا‏ ٨

17:8

Perhaps your Lord will have mercy upon you. But if you return [to sin], We will return [to punishment]. And We have made Hell, for the disbelievers, a prison.

اِنَّ هٰذَا الۡقُرۡاٰنَ يَهۡدِىۡ لِلَّتِىۡ هِىَ اَقۡوَمُ وَ يُبَشِّرُ الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ الَّذِيۡنَ يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ اَنَّ لَهُمۡ اَجۡرًا كَبِيۡرًا ۙ‏ ٩

17:9

Indeed, this Qur'an guides to that which is most upright and gives good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a great reward.

وَّاَنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِالۡاٰخِرَةِ اَعۡتَدۡنَا لَهُمۡ عَذَابًا اَلِيۡمًا‏ ١٠

17:10

And that those who do not believe in the Hereafter - We have prepared for them a painful punishment.

وَ يَدۡعُ الۡاِنۡسٰنُ بِالشَّرِّ دُعَآءَهٗ بِالۡخَيۡرِ ؕ وَكَانَ الۡاِنۡسٰنُ عَجُوۡلًا‏ ١١

17:11

And man invokes [Allah] for evil as he invokes [Him] for good, and man is ever hasty [in demanding things].

وَجَعَلۡنَا الَّيۡلَ وَالنَّهَارَ اٰيَتَيۡنِ فَمَحَوۡنَاۤ اٰيَةَ الَّيۡلِ وَجَعَلۡنَاۤ اٰيَةَ النَّهَارِ مُبۡصِرَةً لِّتَبۡتَغُوۡا فَضۡلًا مِّنۡ رَّبِّكُمۡ وَ لِتَعۡلَمُوۡا عَدَدَ السِّنِيۡنَ وَالۡحِسَابَ ؕ وَكُلَّ شَىۡءٍ فَصَّلۡنٰهُ تَفۡصِيۡلًا‏ ١٢

17:12

And We have made the night and day two signs, and We erased the sign of the night and made the sign of the day visible that you may seek bounty from your Lord and may know the number of years and the account [of time]. And everything We have set out in detail.

وَكُلَّ اِنۡسَانٍ اَلۡزَمۡنٰهُ طٰٓئِرَهٗ فِىۡ عُنُقِهٖ ؕ وَنُخۡرِجُ لَهٗ يَوۡمَ الۡقِيٰمَةِ كِتٰبًا يَّلۡقٰٮهُ مَنۡشُوۡرًا‏ ١٣

17:13

And [for] every man We have attached to him his fate [i.e., deed] on his neck, and We will bring forth for him on the Day of Resurrection a record which he will find spread open.

اِقۡرَاۡ كِتٰبَكَ ؕ كَفٰى بِنَفۡسِكَ الۡيَوۡمَ عَلَيۡكَ حَسِيۡبًا‏ ١٤

17:14

[It will be said], "Read your record. Sufficient is yourself against you this Day as an accountant."

مَنِ اهۡتَدٰى فَاِنَّمَا يَهۡتَدِىۡ لِنَفۡسِهٖ ۚ وَمَنۡ ضَلَّ فَاِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيۡهَا ؕ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِّزۡرَ اُخۡرٰى ؕ وَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِيۡنَ حَتّٰى نَبۡعَثَ رَسُوۡلًا‏ ١٥

17:15

Whoever is guided is only guided for [the benefit of] his soul. And whoever errs only errs against it. And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. And never would We punish until We had sent a messenger.

وَاِذَاۤ اَرَدۡنَاۤ اَنۡ نُّهۡلِكَ قَرۡيَةً اَمَرۡنَا مُتۡرَفِيۡهَا فَفَسَقُوۡا فِيۡهَا فَحَقَّ عَلَيۡهَا الۡقَوۡلُ فَدَمَّرۡنٰهَا تَدۡمِيۡرًا‏ ١٦

17:16

And when We intend to destroy a city, We command its affluent ones [to obey Allah], but they defiantly disobey therein; so the word comes into effect upon it, and We destroy it with [complete] destruction.

وَكَمۡ اَهۡلَكۡنَا مِنَ الۡقُرُوۡنِ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ نُوۡحٍ ؕ وَكَفٰى بِرَبِّكَ بِذُنُوۡبِ عِبَادِهٖ خَبِيۡرًاۢ بَصِيۡرًا‏ ١٧

17:17

And how many have We destroyed of generations after Noah. And sufficient is your Lord concerning the sins of His servants as Acquainted and Seeing.

مَنۡ كَانَ يُرِيۡدُ الۡعَاجِلَةَ عَجَّلۡنَا لَهٗ فِيۡهَا مَا نَشَآءُ لِمَنۡ نُّرِيۡدُ ثُمَّ جَعَلۡنَا لَهٗ جَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَصۡلٰٮهَا مَذۡمُوۡمًا مَّدۡحُوۡرًا‏ ١٨

17:18

Whoever should desire the immediate - We hasten for him from it whatever We will to whoever We intend. Then We have made for him Hell, which he will [enter to] burn, censured and banished.

وَمَنۡ اَرَادَ الۡاٰخِرَةَ وَسَعٰى لَهَا سَعۡيَهَا وَهُوَ مُؤۡمِنٌ فَاُولٰٓئِكَ كَانَ سَعۡيُهُمۡ مَّشۡكُوۡرًا‏ ١٩

17:19

But whoever desires the Hereafter and exerts the effort due to it while he is a believer - it is those whose effort is appreciated [by Allah].

كُلًّا نُّمِدُّ هٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَهٰٓؤُلَآءِ مِنۡ عَطَآءِ رَبِّكَ ؕ وَمَا كَانَ عَطَآءُ رَبِّكَ مَحۡظُوۡرًا‏ ٢٠

17:20

To each [group] - these as well as those - We extend from the bestowal of your Lord. And never has the bestowal of your Lord been restricted.

اُنۡظُرۡ كَيۡفَ فَضَّلۡنَا بَعۡضَهُمۡ عَلٰى بَعۡضٍ ؕ وَلَلۡاٰخِرَةُ اَكۡبَرُ دَرَجٰتٍ وَّاَكۡبَرُ تَفۡضِيۡلًا‏ ٢١

17:21

Look how We have favored [in provision] some of them over others. But the Hereafter is greater in [elevated] degrees [of difference] and greater in distinction.

لَا تَجۡعَلۡ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهًا اٰخَرَ فَتَقۡعُدَ مَذۡمُوۡمًا مَّخۡذُوۡلًا‏ ٢٢

17:22

Do not make with Allah another deity, lest you sit down disgraced, forsaken.

۞ وَقَضٰى رَبُّكَ اَلَّا تَعۡبُدُوۡۤا اِلَّاۤ اِيَّاهُ وَبِالۡوَالِدَيۡنِ اِحۡسَانًا ؕ اِمَّا يَبۡلُغَنَّ عِنۡدَكَ الۡكِبَرَ اَحَدُهُمَاۤ اَوۡ كِلٰهُمَا فَلَا تَقُلۡ لَّهُمَاۤ اُفٍّ وَّلَا تَنۡهَرۡهُمَا وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوۡلًا كَرِيۡمًا‏ ٢٣

17:23

And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [even] 'uff,' and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word.

وَاخۡفِضۡ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ الذُّلِّ مِنَ الرَّحۡمَةِ وَقُل رَّبِّ ارۡحَمۡهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيٰنِىۡ صَغِيۡرًا‏ ٢٤

17:24

And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say, "My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small."

رَبُّكُمۡ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَا فِىۡ نُفُوۡسِكُمۡ ؕ اِنۡ تَكُوۡنُوۡا صٰلِحِيۡنَ فَاِنَّهٗ كَانَ لِلۡاَوَّابِيۡنَ غَفُوۡرًا‏ ٢٥

17:25

Your Lord is most knowing of what is within your souls. If you should be righteous [in intention] - then indeed He is ever, to the often returning [to Him], Forgiving.

وَاٰتِ ذَا الۡقُرۡبٰى حَقَّهٗ وَالۡمِسۡكِيۡنَ وَابۡنَ السَّبِيۡلِ وَلَا تُبَذِّرۡ تَبۡذِيۡرًا‏ ٢٦

17:26

And give the relative his right, and [also] the poor and the traveler, and do not spend wastefully.

اِنَّ الۡمُبَذِّرِيۡنَ كَانُوۡۤا اِخۡوَانَ الشَّيٰطِيۡنِ ؕ وَكَانَ الشَّيۡطٰنُ لِرَبِّهٖ كَفُوۡرًا‏ ٢٧

17:27

Indeed, the wasteful are brothers of the devils, and ever has Satan been to his Lord ungrateful.

وَ اِمَّا تُعۡرِضَنَّ عَنۡهُمُ ابۡتِغَآءَ رَحۡمَةٍ مِّنۡ رَّبِّكَ تَرۡجُوۡهَا فَقُل لَّهُمۡ قَوۡلًا مَّيۡسُوۡرًا‏ ٢٨

17:28

And if you [must] turn away from them [i.e., the needy] seeking mercy from your Lord which you expect, then speak to them a gentle word.

وَلَا تَجۡعَلۡ يَدَكَ مَغۡلُوۡلَةً اِلٰى عُنُقِكَ وَلَا تَبۡسُطۡهَا كُلَّ الۡبَسۡطِ فَتَقۡعُدَ مَلُوۡمًا مَّحۡسُوۡرًا‏ ٢٩

17:29

And do not make your hand chained to your neck or extend it completely, lest you become blameworthy and destitute.

اِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَبۡسُطُ الرِّزۡقَ لِمَنۡ يَّشَآءُ وَيَقۡدِرُ ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهٖ خَبِيۡرًاۢ بَصِيۡرًا‏ ٣٠

17:30

Indeed, your Lord extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]. Indeed, He is ever, concerning His servants, Acquainted and Seeing.

وَلَا تَقۡتُلُوۡۤا اَوۡلَادَكُمۡ خَشۡيَةَ اِمۡلَاقٍ ؕ نَحۡنُ نَرۡزُقُهُمۡ وَاِيَّاكُمۡ ؕ اِنَّ قَتۡلَهُمۡ كَانَ خِطۡـًٔا كَبِيۡرًا‏ ٣١

17:31

And do not kill your children for fear of poverty. We provide for them and for you. Indeed, the killing of them is a great sin.

وَلَا تَقۡرَبُوا الزِّنٰىۤ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ فَاحِشَةً ؕ وَسَآءَ سَبِيۡلًا‏ ٣٢

17:32

And do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse. Indeed, it is ever an immorality and is evil as a way.

وَلَا تَقۡتُلُوۡا النَّفۡسَ الَّتِىۡ حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ اِلَّا بِالۡحَقِّ ؕ وَمَنۡ قُتِلَ مَظۡلُوۡمًا فَقَدۡ جَعَلۡنَا لِوَلِيِّهٖ سُلۡطٰنًا فَلَا يُسۡرِف فِّىۡ الۡقَتۡلِ ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ مَنۡصُوۡرًا‏ ٣٣

17:33

And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden, except by way of justice. And whoever is killed unjustly - We have given his heir authority, but let him not exceed limits in [the matter of] killing. Indeed, he has been supported [by the law].

وَلَا تَقۡرَبُوۡا مَالَ الۡيَتِيۡمِ اِلَّا بِالَّتِىۡ هِىَ اَحۡسَنُ حَتّٰى يَبۡلُغَ اَشُدَّهٗ ۚ وَاَوۡفُوۡا بِالۡعَهۡدِ ۚ اِنَّ الۡعَهۡدَ كَانَ مَسۡـُٔوۡلًا‏ ٣٤

17:34

And do not approach the property of an orphan, except in a way that is best, until he reaches his maturity. And fulfill [every] commitment. Indeed, the commitment is ever [that about which one will be] questioned.

وَاَوۡفُوۡا الۡكَيۡلَ اِذَا كِلۡتُمۡ وَزِنُوۡا بِالۡقِسۡطَاسِ الۡمُسۡتَقِيۡمِ ؕ ذٰلِكَ خَيۡرٌ وَّاَحۡسَنُ تَاۡوِيۡلًا‏ ٣٥

17:35

And give full measure when you measure, and weigh with an even [i.e., straight] balance. That is [good] and best in result.

وَلَا تَقۡفُ مَا لَيۡسَ لَكَ بِهٖ عِلۡمٌ ؕ اِنَّ السَّمۡعَ وَالۡبَصَرَ وَالۡفُؤَادَ كُلُّ اُولٰٓئِكَ كَانَ عَنۡهُ مَسۡـُٔوۡلًا‏ ٣٦

17:36

And do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge. Indeed, the hearing, the sight, and the heart - about all those [one] will be questioned.

وَلَا تَمۡشِ فِىۡ الۡاَرۡضِ مَرَحًا ۚ اِنَّكَ لَنۡ تَخۡرِقَ الۡاَرۡضَ وَلَنۡ تَبۡلُغَ الۡجِبَالَ طُوۡلًا‏ ٣٧

17:37

And do not walk upon the earth exultantly. Indeed, you will never tear the earth [apart], nor will you ever reach the mountains in height.

كُلُّ ذٰلِكَ كَانَ سَيِّئُهٗ عِنۡدَ رَبِّكَ مَكۡرُوۡهًا‏ ٣٨

17:38

All that - its evil is ever, in the sight of your Lord, detested.

ذٰلِكَ مِمَّاۤ اَوۡحٰىۤ اِلَيۡكَ رَبُّكَ مِنَ الۡحِكۡمَةِ ؕ وَلَا تَجۡعَلۡ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهًا اٰخَرَ فَتُلۡقٰى فِىۡ جَهَنَّمَ مَلُوۡمًا مَّدۡحُوۡرًا‏ ٣٩

17:39

That is from what your Lord has revealed to you of wisdom. And, [O Muhammad], do not make with Allah another deity, lest you be thrown into Hell, reproached and banished.

اَفَاَصۡفٰٮكُمۡ رَبُّكُمۡ بِالۡبَنِيۡنَ وَاتَّخَذَ مِنَ الۡمَلٰٓئِكَةِ اِنَاثًا ؕ اِنَّكُمۡ لَتَقُوۡلُوۡنَ قَوۡلًا عَظِيۡمًا‏ ٤٠

17:40

Has your Lord, then, chosen you for [having] sons and taken for Himself from among the angels daughters? Indeed, you are saying a grave saying.

وَلَقَدۡ صَرَّفۡنَا فِىۡ هٰذَا الۡقُرۡاٰنِ لِيَذَّكَّرُوۡا ؕ وَمَا يَزِيۡدُهُمۡ اِلَّا نُفُوۡرًا‏ ٤١

17:41

And We have certainly diversified [the contents] in this Qur'an that they might be reminded, but it increases them not except in aversion.

قُل لَّوۡ كَانَ مَعَهٗۤ اٰلِهَةٌ كَمَا يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ اِذًا لَّابۡتَغَوۡا اِلٰى ذِىۡ الۡعَرۡشِ سَبِيۡلًا‏ ٤٢

17:42

Say, [O Muhammad], "If there had been with Him [other] gods, as they say, then they [i.e., those gods] would have sought to the Owner of the Throne a way [to overcome Him]."

سُبۡحٰنَهٗ وَتَعٰلٰى عَمَّا يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ عُلُوًّا كَبِيۡرًا‏ ٤٣

17:43

Exalted is He and high above what they say by great sublimity.

تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ السَّمٰوٰتُ السَّبۡعُ وَالۡاَرۡضُ وَمَنۡ فِيۡهِنَّ ؕ وَاِنۡ مِّنۡ شَىۡءٍ اِلَّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمۡدِهٖ وَلٰكِن لَّا تَفۡقَهُوۡنَ تَسۡبِيۡحَهُمۡ ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ حَلِيۡمًا غَفُوۡرًا‏ ٤٤

17:44

The seven heavens and the earth and whatever is in them exalt Him. And there is not a thing except that it exalts [Allah] by His praise, but you do not understand their [way of] exalting. Indeed, He was ever Forbearing and Forgiving.

وَاِذَا قَرَاۡتَ الۡقُرۡاٰنَ جَعَلۡنَا بَيۡنَكَ وَبَيۡنَ الَّذِيۡنَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِالۡاٰخِرَةِ حِجَابًا مَّسۡتُوۡرًا ۙ‏ ٤٥

17:45

And when you recite the Qur'an, We put between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter an invisible veil.

وَّ جَعَلۡنَا عَلٰى قُلُوۡبِهِمۡ اَكِنَّةً اَنۡ يَّفۡقَهُوۡهُ وَفِىۡۤ اٰذَانِهِمۡ وَقۡرًا ؕ وَاِذَا ذَكَرۡتَ رَبَّكَ فِىۡ الۡقُرۡاٰنِ وَحۡدَهٗ وَلَّوۡا عَلٰىۤ اَدۡبَارِهِمۡ نُفُوۡرًا‏ ٤٦

17:46

And We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And when you mention your Lord alone in the Qur'an, they turn back in aversion.

نَحۡنُ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَسۡتَمِعُوۡنَ بِهٖۤ اِذۡ يَسۡتَمِعُوۡنَ اِلَيۡكَ وَاِذۡ هُمۡ نَجۡوٰىٓ اِذۡ يَقُوۡلُ الظّٰلِمُوۡنَ اِنۡ تَتَّبِعُوۡنَ اِلَّا رَجُلًا مَّسۡحُوۡرًا‏ ٤٧

17:47

We are most knowing of how they listen to it when they listen to you and [of] when they are in private conversation, when the wrongdoers say, "You follow not but a man affected by magic."

اُنۡظُرۡ كَيۡفَ ضَرَبُوۡا لَكَ الۡاَمۡثَالَ فَضَلُّوۡا فَلَا يَسۡتَطِيۡعُوۡنَ سَبِيۡلًا‏ ٤٨

17:48

Look how they strike for you comparisons; so they have strayed and cannot find a way [to the truth].

وَقَالُوۡۤا ءَاِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا وَّرُفَاتًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوۡثُوۡنَ خَلۡقًا جَدِيۡدًا‏ ٤٩

17:49

And they say, "When we are bones and crumbled particles, will we indeed be resurrected as a new creation?"

قُلۡ كُوۡنُوۡا حِجَارَةً اَوۡ حَدِيۡدًا ۙ‏ ٥٠

17:50

Say, [O Muhammad], "Be you stones or iron"

اَوۡ خَلۡقًا مِّمَّا يَكۡبُرُ فِىۡ صُدُوۡرِكُمۡ ؕ فَسَيَقُوۡلُوۡنَ مَنۡ يُّعِيۡدُنَا ؕ قُلِ الَّذِىۡ فَطَرَكُمۡ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ ۚ فَسَيُنۡغِضُوۡنَ اِلَيۡكَ رُءُوۡسَهُمۡ وَيَقُوۡلُوۡنَ مَتٰى هُوَ ؕ قُلۡ عَسٰٓى اَنۡ يَّكُوۡنَ قَرِيۡبًا ۙ‏ ٥١

17:51

"Or [any] creation of that which is great in your breasts." And they will say, "Who will restore us?" Say, "He who brought you into being the first time." Then they will nod their heads toward you and say, "When is that?" Say, "Perhaps it will be soon - "

يَوۡمَ يَدۡعُوۡكُمۡ فَتَسۡتَجِيۡبُوۡنَ بِحَمۡدِهٖ وَتَظُنُّوۡنَ اِنۡ لَّبِثۡتُمۡ اِلَّا قَلِيۡلًا ‏ ٥٢

17:52

On the Day He will call you and you will respond with praise of Him and think that you had not remained [in the world] except for a little while.

وَقُل لِّعِبَادِىۡ يَقُوۡلُوا الَّتِىۡ هِىَ اَحۡسَنُ ؕ اِنَّ الشَّيۡطٰنَ يَنۡزَغُ بَيۡنَهُمۡ ؕ اِنَّ الشَّيۡطٰنَ كَانَ لِلۡاِنۡسَانِ عَدُوًّا مُّبِيۡنًا‏ ٥٣

17:53

And tell My servants to say that which is best. Indeed, Satan induces [dissension] among them. Indeed, Satan is ever, to man, a clear enemy.

رَبُّكُمۡ اَعۡلَمُ بِكُمۡ ؕ اِنۡ يَّشَاۡ يَرۡحَمۡكُمۡ اَوۡ اِنۡ يَّشَاۡ يُعَذِّبۡكُمۡ ؕ وَمَاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنٰكَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَكِيۡلًا‏ ٥٤

17:54

Your Lord is most knowing of you. If He wills, He will have mercy upon you; or if He wills, He will punish you. And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], over them as a disposer of affairs.

وَرَبُّكَ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَنۡ فِىۡ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ ؕ وَلَقَدۡ فَضَّلۡنَا بَعۡضَ النَّبِيّٖنَ عَلٰى بَعۡضٍ وَّاٰتَيۡنَا دَاوٗدَ زَبُوۡرًا‏ ٥٥

17:55

And your Lord is most knowing of whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And We have made some of the prophets exceed others [in honor], and to David We gave the book [of Psalms].

قُلِ ادۡعُوا الَّذِيۡنَ زَعَمۡتُمۡ مِّنۡ دُوۡنِهٖ فَلَا يَمۡلِكُوۡنَ كَشۡفَ الضُّرِّ عَنۡكُمۡ وَلَا تَحۡوِيۡلًا‏ ٥٦

17:56

Say, [O Muhammad], "Invoke those you claim [as deities] besides Him, for they have neither [the power to] remove adversity from you nor [to cause] transfer."

اُولٰٓئِكَ الَّذِيۡنَ يَدۡعُوۡنَ يَبۡتَغُوۡنَ اِلٰى رَبِّهِمُ الۡوَسِيۡلَةَ اَيُّهُمۡ اَقۡرَبُ وَيَرۡجُوۡنَ رَحۡمَتَهٗ وَيَخَافُوۡنَ عَذَابَهٗ ؕ اِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ كَانَ مَحۡذُوۡرًا‏ ٥٧

17:57

Those whom they invoke seek access to their Lord, [striving as to] which of them would be nearest, and they hope for His mercy and fear His punishment. Indeed, the punishment of your Lord is ever feared.

وَاِنۡ مِّنۡ قَرۡيَةٍ اِلَّا نَحۡنُ مُهۡلِكُوۡهَا قَبۡلَ يَوۡمِ الۡقِيٰمَةِ اَوۡ مُعَذِّبُوۡهَا عَذَابًا شَدِيۡدًا ؕ كَانَ ذٰلِكَ فِىۡ الۡكِتٰبِ مَسۡطُوۡرًا‏ ٥٨

17:58

And there is no city but that We will destroy it before the Day of Resurrection or punish it with a severe punishment. That has been inscribed in the Register [with Allah].

وَمَا مَنَعَنَاۤ اَنۡ نُّرۡسِلَ بِالۡاٰيٰتِ اِلَّاۤ اَنۡ كَذَّبَ بِهَا الۡاَوَّلُوۡنَ ؕ وَاٰتَيۡنَا ثَمُوۡدَ النَّاقَةَ مُبۡصِرَةً فَظَلَمُوۡا بِهَا ؕ وَمَا نُرۡسِلُ بِالۡاٰيٰتِ اِلَّا تَخۡوِيۡفًا‏ ٥٩

17:59

And nothing has prevented Us from sending signs except that the former peoples denied them. And We gave Thamud the she-camel as a visible sign, but they wronged by her. And We send not the signs except as a warning.

وَاِذۡ قُلۡنَا لَكَ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ اَحَاطَ بِالنَّاسِ ؕ وَمَا جَعَلۡنَا الرُّؤۡيَا الَّتِىۡۤ اَرَيۡنٰكَ اِلَّا فِتۡنَةً لِّلنَّاسِ وَالشَّجَرَةَ الۡمَلۡعُوۡنَةَ فِىۡ الۡقُرۡاٰنِ ؕ وَنُخَوِّفُهُمۡ ۙ فَمَا يَزِيۡدُهُمۡ اِلَّا طُغۡيَانًا كَبِيۡرًا‏ ٦٠

17:60

And [remember] when We told you, "Indeed, your Lord has encompassed the people." And We did not make the vision which We showed you except as a trial for the people, as was the accursed tree [mentioned] in the Qur'an. We threaten them, but it increases them not except in great transgression.

وَاِذۡ قُلۡنَا لِلۡمَلٰٓئِكَةِ اسۡجُدُوۡا لِاٰدَمَ فَسَجَدُوۡۤا اِلَّاۤ اِبۡلِيۡسَ ؕ قَالَ ءَاَسۡجُدُ لِمَنۡ خَلَقۡتَ طِيۡنًا ؕ‏ ٦١

17:61

And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except Iblees. He said, "Should I prostrate to one You created from clay?"

قَالَ اَرَاَيۡتَكَ هٰذَا الَّذِىۡ كَرَّمۡتَ عَلَىَّ ۚ لَئِنۡ اَخَّرۡتَنِ اِلٰى يَوۡمِ الۡقِيٰمَةِ لَاَحۡتَنِكَنَّ ذُرِّيَّتَهٗۤ اِلَّا قَلِيۡلًا ؕ‏ ٦٢

17:62

He said, "Do You see this one whom You have honored above me? If You respite me until the Day of Resurrection, I will surely destroy his descendants, except for a few."

قَالَ اذۡهَبۡ فَمَنۡ تَبِعَكَ مِنۡهُمۡ فَاِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ جَزَآؤُكُمۡ جَزَآءً مَّوۡفُوۡرًا‏ ٦٣

17:63

[Allah] said, "Go, for whoever follows you among them - indeed, Hell will be the recompense of you all - an ample recompense.

وَاسۡتَفۡزِزۡ مَنِ اسۡتَطَعۡتَ مِنۡهُمۡ بِصَوۡتِكَ وَاَجۡلِبۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ بِخَيۡلِكَ وَرَجِلِكَ وَشَارِكۡهُمۡ فِىۡ الۡاَمۡوَالِ وَالۡاَوۡلَادِ وَعِدۡهُمۡ ؕ وَمَا يَعِدُهُمُ الشَّيۡطٰنُ اِلَّا غُرُوۡرًا‏ ٦٤

17:64

And incite [to foolishness] whomsoever you can among them with your voice and assault them with your cavalry and your infantry and share with them [in] wealth and [children] and make [many] promises to them." But Satan does not promise them except deception.

اِنَّ عِبَادِىۡ لَيۡسَ لَكَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ سُلۡطٰنٌ ؕ وَكَفٰى بِرَبِّكَ وَكِيۡلًا‏ ٦٥

17:65

Indeed, [as for] My [believing] servants, you have no authority over them. And sufficient is your Lord as Disposer of affairs.

رَبُّكُمُ الَّذِىۡ يُزۡجِىۡ لَكُمُ الۡفُلۡكَ فِىۡ الۡبَحۡرِ لِتَبۡتَغُوۡا مِنۡ فَضۡلِهٖ ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ بِكُمۡ رَحِيۡمًا‏ ٦٦

17:66

It is your Lord who drives the ship for you through the sea that you may seek of His bounty. Indeed, He is ever, to you, Merciful.

وَاِذَا مَسَّكُمُ الضُّرُّ فِىۡ الۡبَحۡرِ ضَلَّ مَنۡ تَدۡعُوۡنَ اِلَّاۤ اِيَّاهُ ۚ فَلَمَّا نَجّٰٮكُمۡ اِلَى الۡبَرِّ اَعۡرَضۡتُمۡ ؕ وَكَانَ الۡاِنۡسَانُ كَفُوۡرًا‏ ٦٧

17:67

And when adversity touches you at sea, lost are [all] those you invoke except for Him. But when He delivers you to the land, you turn away [from Him]. And ever is man ungrateful.

اَفَاَمِنۡتُمۡ اَنۡ يَّخۡسِفَ بِكُمۡ جَانِبَ الۡبَرِّ اَوۡ يُرۡسِلَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ حَاصِبًا ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُوۡا لَكُمۡ وَكِيۡلًا ۙ‏ ٦٨

17:68

Then did you feel secure that [instead] He would not cause a part of the land to swallow you or send against you a storm of stones? Then you would not find for yourselves any guardian.

اَمۡ اَمِنۡتُمۡ اَنۡ يُّعِيۡدَكُمۡ فِيۡهِ تَارَةً اُخۡرٰى فَيُرۡسِلَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ قَاصِفًا مِّنَ الرِّيحِ فَيُغۡرِقَكُمۡ بِمَا كَفَرۡتُمۡ ۙ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُوۡا لَكُمۡ عَلَيۡنَا بِهٖ تَبِيۡعًا‏ ٦٩

17:69

Or did you feel secure that He would not send you back into it [i.e., the sea] another time and send upon you a hurricane of wind and drown you for what you disbelieved? Then you would not find for yourselves against Us a pursuer.

وَلَقَدۡ كَرَّمۡنَا بَنِىۡۤ اٰدَمَ وَحَمَلۡنٰهُمۡ فِىۡ الۡبَرِّ وَالۡبَحۡرِ وَرَزَقۡنٰهُمۡ مِّنَ الطَّيِّبٰتِ وَفَضَّلۡنٰهُمۡ عَلٰى كَثِيۡرٍ مِّمَّنۡ خَلَقۡنَا تَفۡضِيۡلًا ‏ ٧٠

17:70

And We have certainly honored the children of Adam and carried them on the land and sea and provided for them of the good things and preferred them over much of what We have created, with [definite] preference.

يَوۡمَ نَدۡعُوۡا كُلَّ اُنَاسٍ ۢ بِاِمَامِهِمۡ ۚ فَمَنۡ اُوۡتِىَ كِتٰبَهٗ بِيَمِيۡنِهٖ فَاُولٰٓئِكَ يَقۡرَءُوۡنَ كِتٰبَهُمۡ وَلَا يُظۡلَمُوۡنَ فَتِيۡلًا‏ ٧١

17:71

[Mention] the Day We will call forth every people with their record [of deeds]. Then whoever is given his record in his right hand - those will read their records, and injustice will not be done to them, [even] as much as a thread [inside a date seed].

وَمَنۡ كَانَ فِىۡ هٰذِهٖۤ اَعۡمٰى فَهُوَ فِىۡ الۡاٰخِرَةِ اَعۡمٰى وَاَضَلُّ سَبِيۡلًا‏ ٧٢

17:72

And whoever is blind in this [life] will be blind in the Hereafter and more astray in [his] way.

وَاِنۡ كَادُوۡا لَيَفۡتِنُوۡنَكَ عَنِ الَّذِىۡۤ اَوۡحَيۡنَاۤ اِلَيۡكَ لِتَفۡتَرِىَ عَلَيۡنَا غَيۡرَهٗ ۙ وَاِذًا لَّاتَّخَذُوۡكَ خَلِيۡلًا‏ ٧٣

17:73

And indeed, they were about to tempt you away from that which We revealed to you in order to [make] you invent about Us something else; and then [if you had], they would have taken you as a devoted friend.

وَلَوۡلَاۤ اَنۡ ثَبَّتۡنٰكَ لَقَدۡ كِدۡتَّ تَرۡكَنُ اِلَيۡهِمۡ شَيۡـًٔا قَلِيۡلًا ۙ‏ ٧٤

17:74

And if We had not strengthened you, you would have almost inclined to them a little.

اِذًا لَّاَذَقۡنٰكَ ضِعۡفَ الۡحَيٰوةِ وَضِعۡفَ الۡمَمَاتِ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُ لَكَ عَلَيۡنَا نَصِيۡرًا‏ ٧٥

17:75

Then [if you had], We would have surely made you taste double [punishment in] life and double [after] death; then you would not find for yourself against Us any helper.

وَاِنۡ كَادُوۡا لَيَسۡتَفِزُّوۡنَكَ مِنَ الۡاَرۡضِ لِيُخۡرِجُوۡكَ مِنۡهَا ۙ وَاِذًا لَّا يَلۡبَثُوۡنَ خِلٰفَكَ اِلَّا قَلِيۡلًا ؕ‏ ٧٦

17:76

And indeed, they were about to scare you from the land to expel you from it. But [then], they would not remain [therein] after you, except for a little.

سُنَّةَ مَنۡ قَدۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا قَبۡلَكَ مِنۡ رُّسُلِنَا وَلَا تَجِدُ لِسُنَّتِنَا تَحۡوِيۡلًا‏ ٧٧

17:77

[This is] the way of those [messengers] We had sent before you, and you will not find in Our way any alteration.

اَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَ لِدُلُوۡكِ الشَّمۡسِ اِلٰى غَسَقِ الَّيۡلِ وَقُرۡاٰنَ الۡفَجۡرِ ؕ اِنَّ قُرۡاٰنَ الۡفَجۡرِ كَانَ مَشۡهُوۡدًا‏ ٧٨

17:78

Establish prayer at the decline of the sun [from its zenith] until the darkness of the night and [also] the Qur'an [i.e., recitation] of dawn. Indeed, the recitation of dawn is ever witnessed [by the angels].

وَمِنَ الَّيۡلِ فَتَهَجَّدۡ بِهٖ نَافِلَةً لَّكَ ۖ عَسٰٓى اَنۡ يَّبۡعَثَكَ رَبُّكَ مَقَامًا مَّحۡمُوۡدًا‏ ٧٩

17:79

And during a part of the night, [therefore], pray the night prayer as an additional [act] for you; it is expected that your Lord will resurrect you to a praised station.

وَّ قُل رَّبِّ اَدۡخِلۡنِىۡ مُدۡخَلَ صِدۡقٍ وَّاَخۡرِجۡنِىۡ مُخۡرَجَ صِدۡقٍ وَّاجۡعَل لِّىۡ مِنۡ لَّدُنۡكَ سُلۡطٰنًا نَّصِيۡرًا‏ ٨٠

17:80

And say, "My Lord, cause me to enter an entrance of truth and an exit of truth and grant me from Yourself a supporting authority."

وَقُلۡ جَآءَ الۡحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الۡبَاطِلُ ؕ اِنَّ الۡبَاطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوۡقًا‏ ٨١

17:81

And say, "Truth has come, and falsehood has departed. Indeed is falsehood [by nature] ever bound to depart."

وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الۡقُرۡاٰنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَآءٌ وَّرَحۡمَةٌ لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ ۙ وَلَا يَزِيۡدُ الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ اِلَّا خَسَارًا‏ ٨٢

17:82

And We send down of the Qur'an that which is healing and mercy for the believers, but it does not increase the wrongdoers except in loss.

وَاِذَاۤ اَنۡعَمۡنَا عَلَى الۡاِنۡسٰنِ اَعۡرَضَ وَنَاٰى بِجَانِبِهٖ ۚ وَاِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ كَانَ يَتُوۡسًا‏ ٨٣

17:83

And when We bestow favor upon man, he turns away and departs aside; and when evil touches him, he is despairing.

قُلۡ كُلٌّ يَّعۡمَلُ عَلٰى شَاكِلَتِهٖ ؕ فَرَبُّكُمۡ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَنۡ هُوَ اَهۡدٰى سَبِيۡلًا ‏ ٨٤

17:84

Say, "Each works according to his manner, but your Lord is most knowing of who is most rightly guided in path."

وَيَسۡـَٔلُوۡنَكَ عَنِ الرُّوۡحِ ؕ قُلِ الرُّوۡحُ مِنۡ اَمۡرِ رَبِّىۡ وَمَاۤ اُوۡتِيۡتُمۡ مِّنَ الۡعِلۡمِ اِلَّا قَلِيۡلًا‏ ٨٥

17:85

And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about the soul. Say, "The soul is of the matter of my Lord, and you have not been given of knowledge except a little."

وَلَئِنۡ شِئۡنَا لَنَذۡهَبَنَّ بِالَّذِىۡۤ اَوۡحَيۡنَاۤ اِلَيۡكَ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُ لَكَ بِهٖ عَلَيۡنَا وَكِيۡلًا ۙ‏ ٨٦

17:86

And if We willed, We could surely do away with that which We revealed to you. Then you would not find for yourself concerning it against Us an advocate.

اِلَّا رَحۡمَةً مِّنۡ رَّبِّكَ ؕ اِنَّ فَضۡلَهٗ كَانَ عَلَيۡكَ كَبِيۡرًا‏ ٨٧

17:87

Except [for] the mercy of your Lord. Indeed, His favor upon you has been great.

قُل لَّئِنِ اجۡتَمَعَتِ الۡاِنۡسُ وَالۡجِنُّ عَلٰٓى اَنۡ يَّاۡتُوۡا بِمِثۡلِ هٰذَا الۡقُرۡاٰنِ لَا يَاۡتُوۡنَ بِمِثۡلِهٖ وَلَوۡ كَانَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ لِبَعۡضٍ ظَهِيۡرًا‏ ٨٨

17:88

Say, "If mankind and the jinn gathered in order to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like of it, even if they were to each other assistants."

وَلَقَدۡ صَرَّفۡنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِىۡ هٰذَا الۡقُرۡاٰنِ مِنۡ كُلِّ مَثَلٍ فَاَبٰىۤ اَكۡثَرُ النَّاسِ اِلَّا كُفُوۡرًا‏ ٨٩

17:89

And We have certainly diversified for the people in this Qur'an from every [kind of] example, but most of the people refused [anything] except disbelief.

وَقَالُوۡا لَنۡ نُّؤۡمِنَ لَكَ حَتّٰى تَفۡجُرَ لَنَا مِنَ الۡاَرۡضِ يَنۡۢبُوۡعًا ۙ‏ ٩٠

17:90

And they say, "We will not believe you until you break forth for us from the earth a spring

اَوۡ تَكُوۡنَ لَكَ جَنَّةٌ مِّنۡ نَّخِيۡلٍ وَّعِنَبٍ فَتُفَجِّرَ الۡاَنۡهٰرَ خِلٰلَهَا تَفۡجِيۡرًا ۙ‏ ٩١

17:91

"Or [until] there is for you a garden of palm trees and grapes and you cause rivers to flow throughout it in force [and abundance]

اَوۡ تُسۡقِطَ السَّمَآءَ كَمَا زَعَمۡتَ عَلَيۡنَا كِسَفًا اَوۡ تَاۡتِىَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالۡمَلٰٓئِكَةِ قَبِيۡلًا ۙ‏ ٩٢

17:92

"Or you make the heaven fall upon us in fragments as you have claimed or you bring Allah and the angels before [us] as assurance"

اَوۡ يَكُوۡنَ لَكَ بَيۡتٌ مِّنۡ زُخۡرُفٍ اَوۡ تَرۡقٰى فِىۡ السَّمَآءِ ؕ وَلَنۡ نُّؤۡمِنَ لِرُقِيِّكَ حَتّٰى تُنَزِّلَ عَلَيۡنَا كِتٰبًا نَّقۡرَؤُهُ ؕ قُلۡ سُبۡحَانَ رَبِّىۡ هَلۡ كُنۡتُ اِلَّا بَشَرًا رَّسُوۡلًا‏ ٩٣

17:93

"Or you have a house of gold or you ascend into the heaven. And even then, we will not believe in your ascension until you bring down to us a book we may read." Say, "Exalted is my Lord! Was I ever anything but a human messenger?"

وَمَا مَنَعَ النَّاسَ اَنۡ يُّؤۡمِنُوۡۤا اِذۡ جَآءَهُمُ الۡهُدٰٓى اِلَّاۤ اَنۡ قَالُوۡۤا اَبَعَثَ اللّٰهُ بَشَرًا رَّسُوۡلًا‏ ٩٤

17:94

And what prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them except that they said, "Has Allah sent forth a human being as a messenger?"

قُل لَّوۡ كَانَ فِىۡ الۡاَرۡضِ مَلٰٓئِكَةٌ يَّمۡشُوۡنَ مُطۡمَئِنِّيۡنَ لَنَزَّلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ مَلَكًا رَّسُوۡلًا‏ ٩٥

17:95

Say, "If there were upon the earth angels walking about in assurance, We would have sent down to them from the heaven an angel as a messenger."

قُلۡ كَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ شَهِيۡدًا ۢ بَيۡنِىۡ وَبَيۡنَكُمۡ ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهٖ خَبِيۡرًا ۢ بَصِيۡرًا‏ ٩٦

17:96

Say, "Sufficient is Allah as a witness between me and you. Indeed, He is ever, concerning His servants, Acquainted and Seeing."

وَمَنۡ يَّهۡدِ اللّٰهُ فَهُوَ الۡمُهۡتَدِ ۚ وَمَنۡ يُّضۡلِلۡ فَلَنۡ تَجِدَ لَهُمۡ اَوۡلِيَآءَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِهٖ ؕ وَنَحۡشُرُهُمۡ يَوۡمَ الۡقِيٰمَةِ عَلٰى وُجُوۡهِهِمۡ عُمۡيًا وَّبُكۡمًا وَّصُمًّا ؕ مَّاۡوٰٮهُمۡ جَهَنَّمُ ؕ كُلَّمَا خَبَتۡ زِدۡنٰهُمۡ سَعِيۡرًا‏ ٩٧

17:97

And whoever Allah guides - he is the [rightly] guided; and whoever He sends astray - for them you will find no protectors besides Him. And We will gather them on the Day of Resurrection [fallen] on their faces - blind, dumb and deaf. Their refuge will be Hell; every time it subsides, We will increase them in blazing fire.

ذٰلِكَ جَزَآؤُهُمۡ بِاَنَّهُمۡ كَفَرُوۡا بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَقَالُوۡۤا ءَاِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا وَّرُفَاتًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوۡثُوۡنَ خَلۡقًا جَدِيۡدًا‏ ٩٨

17:98

That is their recompense because they disbelieved in Our verses and said, "When we are bones and crumbled particles, will we indeed be resurrected as a new creation?"

اَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ الَّذِىۡ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضَ قَادِرٌ عَلٰٓى اَنۡ يَّخۡلُقَ مِثۡلَهُمۡ وَجَعَلَ لَهُمۡ اَجَلًا لَّا رَيۡبَ فِيۡهِ ؕ فَاَبَى الظّٰلِمُوۡنَ اِلَّا كُفُوۡرًا‏ ٩٩

17:99

Do they not see that Allah, who created the heavens and earth, is [also] able to create the likes of them? And He has appointed for them a term [after death] about which there is no doubt. But the wrongdoers refuse [anything] except disbelief.

قُل لَّوۡ اَنۡتُمۡ تَمۡلِكُوۡنَ خَزَآئِنَ رَحۡمَةِ رَبِّىۡۤ اِذًا لَّاَمۡسَكۡتُمۡ خَشۡيَةَ الۡاِنۡفَاقِ ؕ وَكَانَ الۡاِنۡسٰنُ قَتُوۡرًا‏ ١٠٠

17:100

Say, [O Muhammad], "If you possessed the storage places of the mercy of my Lord, then you would withhold them for fear of spending." And ever has man been stingy.

وَلَقَدۡ اٰتَيۡنَا مُوۡسٰى تِسۡعَ اٰيٰتٍ ۢ بَيِّنٰتٍ فَسۡـَٔلۡ بَنِىۡۤ اِسۡرٰٓءِيۡلَ اِذۡ جَآءَهُمۡ فَقَالَ لَهٗ فِرۡعَوۡنُ اِنِّىۡ لَاَظُنُّكَ يٰمُوۡسٰى مَسۡحُوۡرًا‏ ١٠١

17:101

And We had certainly given Moses nine evident signs, so ask the Children of Israel [about] when he came to them and Pharaoh said to him, "Indeed, I think, O Moses, that you are affected by magic."

قَالَ لَقَدۡ عَلِمۡتَ مَاۤ اَنۡزَلَ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ اِلَّا رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ بَصَآئِرَ ۚ وَاِنِّىۡ لَاَظُنُّكَ يٰفِرۡعَوۡنُ مَثۡبُوۡرًا‏ ١٠٢

17:102

[Moses] said, "You have already known that none has sent down these [signs] except the Lord of the heavens and the earth as evidence, and indeed, I think, O Pharaoh, that you are doomed to destruction."

فَاَرَادَ اَنۡ يَّسۡتَفِزَّهُمۡ مِّنَ الۡاَرۡضِ فَاَغۡرَقۡنٰهُ وَمَنۡ مَّعَهٗ جَمِيۡعًا ۙ‏ ١٠٣

17:103

So he intended to drive them from the land, but We drowned him and those with him all together.

وَّقُلۡنَا مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِهٖ لِبَنِىۡۤ اِسۡرٰٓءِيۡلَ اسۡكُنُوۡا الۡاَرۡضَ فَاِذَا جَآءَ وَعۡدُ الۡاٰخِرَةِ جِئۡنَا بِكُمۡ لَفِيۡفًا‏ ١٠٤

17:104

And We said to the Children of Israel after him, "Dwell in the land, and when the promise of the Hereafter comes, We will bring you forth in [one] gathering."

وَبِالۡحَقِّ اَنۡزَلۡنٰهُ وَبِالۡحَقِّ نَزَلَ ؕ وَمَاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنٰكَ اِلَّا مُبَشِّرًا وَّنَذِيۡرًا‏ ١٠٥

17:105

And with truth did We send it down, and with truth has it descended. And We sent you, [O Muhammad], only as a bringer of good tidings and a warner.

وَّقُرۡاٰنًا فَرَقۡنٰهُ لِتَقۡرَاَهٗ عَلَى النَّاسِ عَلٰى مُكۡثٍ وَّنَزَّلۡنٰهُ تَنۡزِيۡلًا‏ ١٠٦

17:106

And [it is] a Qur'an which We have separated [into portions] that you might recite it to the people over a prolonged period. And We have sent it down progressively.

قُلۡ اٰمِنُوۡا بِهٖۤ اَوۡ لَا تُؤۡمِنُوۡا ؕ اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ اُوۡتُوۡا الۡعِلۡمَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِهٖۤ اِذَا يُتۡلٰى عَلَيۡهِمۡ يَخِرُّوۡنَ لِلۡاَذۡقَانِ سُجَّدًا ۙ‏ ١٠٧

17:107

Say, "Believe in it or do not believe. Indeed, those who were given knowledge before it - when it is recited to them, they fall upon their faces in prostration."

وَّيَقُوۡلُوۡنَ سُبۡحٰنَ رَبِّنَاۤ اِنۡ كَانَ وَعۡدُ رَبِّنَا لَمَفۡعُوۡلًا‏ ١٠٨

17:108

And they say, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, the promise of our Lord would certainly be accomplished."

وَيَخِرُّوۡنَ لِلۡاَذۡقَانِ يَبۡكُوۡنَ وَيَزِيۡدُهُمۡ خُشُوۡعًا ۩‏ ١٠٩

17:109

And they fall upon their faces weeping, and it increases them in humility.

قُلِ ادۡعُوۡا اللّٰهَ اَوِ ادۡعُوۡا الرَّحۡمٰنَ ؕ اَيًّا مَّا تَدۡعُوۡا فَلَهُ الۡاَسۡمَآءُ الۡحُسۡنٰى ۚ وَلَا تَجۡهَرۡ بِصَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تُخَافِتۡ بِهَا وَابۡتَغِ بَيۡنَ ذٰلِكَ سَبِيۡلًا‏ ١١٠
