بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمٰنِ الرَّحيمِ

In the name of The God, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

Al-Isra 17:1

سُبحٰنَ الَّذى أَسرىٰ بِعَبدِهِ لَيلًا مِنَ المَسجِدِ الحَرامِ إِلَى المَسجِدِ الأَقصَا الَّذى بٰرَكنا حَولَهُ لِنُرِيَهُ مِن ءايٰتِنا ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّميعُ البَصيرُ

Glory be to the One who took His servant by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him some of Our signs. Surely He is the Hearing, the Seeing.

Al-Isra 17:2

وَءاتَينا موسَى الكِتٰبَ وَجَعَلنٰهُ هُدًى لِبَنى إِسرٰءيلَ أَلّا تَتَّخِذوا مِن دونى وَكيلًا

We gave Moses the Book and made it guidance for the Children of Israel: “Take no trustee apart from Me.”

Al-Isra 17:3

ذُرِّيَّةَ مَن حَمَلنا مَعَ نوحٍ ۚ إِنَّهُ كانَ عَبدًا شَكورًا

Descendants of those We carried with Noah—surely he was a grateful servant.

Al-Isra 17:4

وَقَضَينا إِلىٰ بَنى إِسرٰءيلَ فِى الكِتٰبِ لَتُفسِدُنَّ فِى الأَرضِ مَرَّتَينِ وَلَتَعلُنَّ عُلُوًّا كَبيرًا

We declared to the Children of Israel in the Book: “You will surely spread corruption on earth twice, and you will surely rise in great arrogance.”

Al-Isra 17:5

فَإِذا جاءَ وَعدُ أولىٰهُما بَعَثنا عَلَيكُم عِبادًا لَنا أُولى بَأسٍ شَديدٍ فَجاسوا خِلٰلَ الدِّيارِ ۚ وَكانَ وَعدًا مَفعولًا

When the promise of the first of the two came, We raised against you servants of Ours possessing great might, who searched through the dwellings. It was a promise fulfilled.

Al-Isra 17:6

ثُمَّ رَدَدنا لَكُمُ الكَرَّةَ عَلَيهِم وَأَمدَدنٰكُم بِأَموٰلٍ وَبَنينَ وَجَعَلنٰكُم أَكثَرَ نَفيرًا

Then We restored your turn against them, reinforced you with wealth and sons, and made you greater in number.

Al-Isra 17:7

إِن أَحسَنتُم أَحسَنتُم لِأَنفُسِكُم ۖ وَإِن أَسَأتُم فَلَها ۚ فَإِذا جاءَ وَعدُ الـٔاخِرَةِ لِيَسـۥـٔوا وُجوهَكُم وَلِيَدخُلُوا المَسجِدَ كَما دَخَلوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَلِيُتَبِّروا ما عَلَوا تَتبيرًا

If you do good, you do good for yourselves; if you do evil, it is against yourselves. When the latter promise came, that they might bring sorrow to your faces, enter the mosque as they entered it the first time, and utterly destroy whatever they overcame.

Al-Isra 17:8

عَسىٰ رَبُّكُم أَن يَرحَمَكُم ۚ وَإِن عُدتُم عُدنا ۘ وَجَعَلنا جَهَنَّمَ لِلكٰفِرينَ حَصيرًا

Perhaps your Lord will have mercy on you. If you return, We will return. We have made Hell a prison for the disbelievers.

Al-Isra 17:9

إِنَّ هٰذَا القُرءانَ يَهدى لِلَّتى هِىَ أَقوَمُ وَيُبَشِّرُ المُؤمِنينَ الَّذينَ يَعمَلونَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ أَنَّ لَهُم أَجرًا كَبيرًا

Surely this Quran guides to what is most upright and gives good news to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a great reward,

Al-Isra 17:10

وَأَنَّ الَّذينَ لا يُؤمِنونَ بِالـٔاخِرَةِ أَعتَدنا لَهُم عَذابًا أَليمًا

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

Al-Isra 17:11

وَيَدعُ الإِنسٰنُ بِالشَّرِّ دُعاءَهُ بِالخَيرِ ۖ وَكانَ الإِنسٰنُ عَجولًا

The human being calls for evil as he calls for good, and the human being is hasty.

Al-Isra 17:12

وَجَعَلنَا الَّيلَ وَالنَّهارَ ءايَتَينِ ۖ فَمَحَونا ءايَةَ الَّيلِ وَجَعَلنا ءايَةَ النَّهارِ مُبصِرَةً لِتَبتَغوا فَضلًا مِن رَبِّكُم وَلِتَعلَموا عَدَدَ السِّنينَ وَالحِسابَ ۚ وَكُلَّ شَىءٍ فَصَّلنٰهُ تَفصيلًا

We made the night and the day two signs. We erased the sign of the night and made the sign of the day illuminating, so that you may seek bounty from your Lord and know the number of years and the reckoning. We have set out everything in detail.

Al-Isra 17:13

وَكُلَّ إِنسٰنٍ أَلزَمنٰهُ طٰئِرَهُ فى عُنُقِهِ ۖ وَنُخرِجُ لَهُ يَومَ القِيٰمَةِ كِتٰبًا يَلقىٰهُ مَنشورًا

We have fastened every human being’s record to his neck, and on the Day of Resurrection We will bring out for him a book which he will find spread open.

Al-Isra 17:14

اقرَأ كِتٰبَكَ كَفىٰ بِنَفسِكَ اليَومَ عَلَيكَ حَسيبًا

“Read your book. Today you yourself suffice as a reckoner against yourself.”

Al-Isra 17:15

مَنِ اهتَدىٰ فَإِنَّما يَهتَدى لِنَفسِهِ ۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّما يَضِلُّ عَلَيها ۚ وَلا تَزِرُ وازِرَةٌ وِزرَ أُخرىٰ ۗ وَما كُنّا مُعَذِّبينَ حَتّىٰ نَبعَثَ رَسولًا

Whoever is guided is guided only for himself, and whoever strays strays only against himself. No bearer bears another’s burden. We do not punish until We have sent a messenger.

Al-Isra 17:16

وَإِذا أَرَدنا أَن نُهلِكَ قَريَةً أَمَرنا مُترَفيها فَفَسَقوا فيها فَحَقَّ عَلَيهَا القَولُ فَدَمَّرنٰها تَدميرًا

When We intend to destroy a town, We command its affluent people, but they act defiantly in it. Then the word becomes due against it, and We destroy it utterly.

Al-Isra 17:17

وَكَم أَهلَكنا مِنَ القُرونِ مِن بَعدِ نوحٍ ۗ وَكَفىٰ بِرَبِّكَ بِذُنوبِ عِبادِهِ خَبيرًا بَصيرًا

How many generations We destroyed after Noah! Your Lord suffices as One aware of and seeing His servants’ sins.

Al-Isra 17:18

مَن كانَ يُريدُ العاجِلَةَ عَجَّلنا لَهُ فيها ما نَشاءُ لِمَن نُريدُ ثُمَّ جَعَلنا لَهُ جَهَنَّمَ يَصلىٰها مَذمومًا مَدحورًا

Whoever desires the immediate life, We hasten in it whatever We will for whomever We intend. Then We appoint Hell for him, where he will burn, blamed and rejected.

Al-Isra 17:19

وَمَن أَرادَ الـٔاخِرَةَ وَسَعىٰ لَها سَعيَها وَهُوَ مُؤمِنٌ فَأُولٰئِكَ كانَ سَعيُهُم مَشكورًا

Whoever desires the Hereafter and strives for it with the striving it deserves, while a believer—their striving is appreciated.

Al-Isra 17:20

كُلًّا نُمِدُّ هٰؤُلاءِ وَهٰؤُلاءِ مِن عَطاءِ رَبِّكَ ۚ وَما كانَ عَطاءُ رَبِّكَ مَحظورًا

We extend to all, these and those, from your Lord’s gift. Your Lord’s gift is not restricted.

Al-Isra 17:21

انظُر كَيفَ فَضَّلنا بَعضَهُم عَلىٰ بَعضٍ ۚ وَلَلـٔاخِرَةُ أَكبَرُ دَرَجٰتٍ وَأَكبَرُ تَفضيلًا

Look how We have favored some over others. The Hereafter is greater in degrees and greater in distinction.

Al-Isra 17:22

لا تَجعَل مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلٰهًا ءاخَرَ فَتَقعُدَ مَذمومًا مَخذولًا

Do not set up another god alongside The God, lest you sit blamed and forsaken.

Al-Isra 17:23

وَقَضىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلّا تَعبُدوا إِلّا إِيّاهُ وَبِالوٰلِدَينِ إِحسٰنًا ۚ إِمّا يَبلُغَنَّ عِندَكَ الكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُما أَو كِلاهُما فَلا تَقُل لَهُما أُفٍّ وَلا تَنهَرهُما وَقُل لَهُما قَولًا كَريمًا

Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him and do good to parents. If one or both of them reach old age with you, do not say “Uff” to them or rebuke them, but speak to them a noble word.

Al-Isra 17:24

وَاخفِض لَهُما جَناحَ الذُّلِّ مِنَ الرَّحمَةِ وَقُل رَبِّ ارحَمهُما كَما رَبَّيانى صَغيرًا

Lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy, and say, “My Lord, have mercy on them as they raised me when I was small.”

Al-Isra 17:25

رَبُّكُم أَعلَمُ بِما فى نُفوسِكُم ۚ إِن تَكونوا صٰلِحينَ فَإِنَّهُ كانَ لِلأَوّٰبينَ غَفورًا

Your Lord knows best what is within you. If you are righteous, He is Forgiving to those who turn back.

Al-Isra 17:26

وَءاتِ ذَا القُربىٰ حَقَّهُ وَالمِسكينَ وَابنَ السَّبيلِ وَلا تُبَذِّر تَبذيرًا

Give the relative his due, and the needy and the traveler, and do not squander wastefully.

Al-Isra 17:27

إِنَّ المُبَذِّرينَ كانوا إِخوٰنَ الشَّيٰطينِ ۖ وَكانَ الشَّيطٰنُ لِرَبِّهِ كَفورًا

Surely the squanderers are brothers of the devils, and Satan is deeply ungrateful to his Lord.

Al-Isra 17:28

وَإِمّا تُعرِضَنَّ عَنهُمُ ابتِغاءَ رَحمَةٍ مِن رَبِّكَ تَرجوها فَقُل لَهُم قَولًا مَيسورًا

If you turn away from them, seeking mercy from your Lord which you hope for, then speak to them a gentle word.

Al-Isra 17:29

وَلا تَجعَل يَدَكَ مَغلولَةً إِلىٰ عُنُقِكَ وَلا تَبسُطها كُلَّ البَسطِ فَتَقعُدَ مَلومًا مَحسورًا

Do not keep your hand bound to your neck, nor extend it to its fullest extent, lest you sit blamed and exhausted.

Al-Isra 17:30

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَبسُطُ الرِّزقَ لِمَن يَشاءُ وَيَقدِرُ ۚ إِنَّهُ كانَ بِعِبادِهِ خَبيرًا بَصيرًا

Surely your Lord expands provision for whom He wills and restricts it. He is aware of and sees His servants.

Al-Isra 17:31

وَلا تَقتُلوا أَولٰدَكُم خَشيَةَ إِملٰقٍ ۖ نَحنُ نَرزُقُهُم وَإِيّاكُم ۚ إِنَّ قَتلَهُم كانَ خِطـًٔا كَبيرًا

Do not kill your children for fear of poverty. We provide for them and for you. Surely killing them is a great sin.

Al-Isra 17:32

وَلا تَقرَبُوا الزِّنىٰ ۖ إِنَّهُ كانَ فٰحِشَةً وَساءَ سَبيلًا

Do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse. It is an indecency and an evil way.

Al-Isra 17:33

وَلا تَقتُلُوا النَّفسَ الَّتى حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلّا بِالحَقِّ ۗ وَمَن قُتِلَ مَظلومًا فَقَد جَعَلنا لِوَلِيِّهِ سُلطٰنًا فَلا يُسرِف فِى القَتلِ ۖ إِنَّهُ كانَ مَنصورًا

Do not kill the soul which The God has made inviolable except by right. Whoever is killed unjustly, We have given his guardian authority, so let him not exceed limits in killing. Surely he is supported.

Al-Isra 17:34

وَلا تَقرَبوا مالَ اليَتيمِ إِلّا بِالَّتى هِىَ أَحسَنُ حَتّىٰ يَبلُغَ أَشُدَّهُ ۚ وَأَوفوا بِالعَهدِ ۖ إِنَّ العَهدَ كانَ مَسـٔولًا

Do not approach the orphan’s property except in the best manner, until he reaches maturity. Fulfill the covenant; surely the covenant will be questioned about.

Al-Isra 17:35

وَأَوفُوا الكَيلَ إِذا كِلتُم وَزِنوا بِالقِسطاسِ المُستَقيمِ ۚ ذٰلِكَ خَيرٌ وَأَحسَنُ تَأويلًا

Give full measure when you measure, and weigh with a straight balance. That is better and best in outcome.

Al-Isra 17:36

وَلا تَقفُ ما لَيسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلمٌ ۚ إِنَّ السَّمعَ وَالبَصَرَ وَالفُؤادَ كُلُّ أُولٰئِكَ كانَ عَنهُ مَسـٔولًا

Do not pursue what you have no knowledge of. Surely the hearing, the sight, and the heart—each of these will be questioned about.

Al-Isra 17:37

وَلا تَمشِ فِى الأَرضِ مَرَحًا ۖ إِنَّكَ لَن تَخرِقَ الأَرضَ وَلَن تَبلُغَ الجِبالَ طولًا

Do not walk on earth exultantly. You will never tear the earth apart, nor reach the mountains in height.

Al-Isra 17:38

كُلُّ ذٰلِكَ كانَ سَيِّئُهُ عِندَ رَبِّكَ مَكروهًا

The evil of all that is hateful to your Lord.

Al-Isra 17:39

ذٰلِكَ مِمّا أَوحىٰ إِلَيكَ رَبُّكَ مِنَ الحِكمَةِ ۗ وَلا تَجعَل مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلٰهًا ءاخَرَ فَتُلقىٰ فى جَهَنَّمَ مَلومًا مَدحورًا

That is of the wisdom your Lord has revealed to you. Do not set up another god alongside The God, lest you be cast into Hell, blamed and rejected.

Al-Isra 17:40

أَفَأَصفىٰكُم رَبُّكُم بِالبَنينَ وَاتَّخَذَ مِنَ المَلٰئِكَةِ إِنٰثًا ۚ إِنَّكُم لَتَقولونَ قَولًا عَظيمًا

Has your Lord favored you with sons and taken females from among the angels? Surely you speak a tremendous word.

Al-Isra 17:41

وَلَقَد صَرَّفنا فى هٰذَا القُرءانِ لِيَذَّكَّروا وَما يَزيدُهُم إِلّا نُفورًا

We have certainly varied the presentation in this Quran so that they may take heed, but it only increases their aversion.

Al-Isra 17:42

قُل لَو كانَ مَعَهُ ءالِهَةٌ كَما يَقولونَ إِذًا لَابتَغَوا إِلىٰ ذِى العَرشِ سَبيلًا

Say, “If there were gods with Him, as they say, they would then seek a way to the Possessor of the Throne.”

Al-Isra 17:43

سُبحٰنَهُ وَتَعٰلىٰ عَمّا يَقولونَ عُلُوًّا كَبيرًا

Glory be to Him! He is exalted far above what they say.

Al-Isra 17:44

تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ السَّمٰوٰتُ السَّبعُ وَالأَرضُ وَمَن فيهِنَّ ۚ وَإِن مِن شَىءٍ إِلّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمدِهِ وَلٰكِن لا تَفقَهونَ تَسبيحَهُم ۗ إِنَّهُ كانَ حَليمًا غَفورًا

The seven heavens, the earth, and whoever is in them glorify Him. There is nothing that does not glorify Him with praise, but you do not understand their glorification. Surely He is Forbearing, Forgiving.

Al-Isra 17:45

وَإِذا قَرَأتَ القُرءانَ جَعَلنا بَينَكَ وَبَينَ الَّذينَ لا يُؤمِنونَ بِالـٔاخِرَةِ حِجابًا مَستورًا

When you recite the Quran, We place a concealed barrier between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter.

Al-Isra 17:46

وَجَعَلنا عَلىٰ قُلوبِهِم أَكِنَّةً أَن يَفقَهوهُ وَفى ءاذانِهِم وَقرًا ۚ وَإِذا ذَكَرتَ رَبَّكَ فِى القُرءانِ وَحدَهُ وَلَّوا عَلىٰ أَدبٰرِهِم نُفورًا

We have placed coverings over their hearts lest they understand it, and heaviness in their ears. When you mention your Lord alone in the Quran, they turn their backs in aversion.

Al-Isra 17:47

نَحنُ أَعلَمُ بِما يَستَمِعونَ بِهِ إِذ يَستَمِعونَ إِلَيكَ وَإِذ هُم نَجوىٰ إِذ يَقولُ الظّٰلِمونَ إِن تَتَّبِعونَ إِلّا رَجُلًا مَسحورًا

We know best how they listen when they listen to you, and when they confer privately, when the wrongdoers say, “You follow only a bewitched man.”

Al-Isra 17:48

انظُر كَيفَ ضَرَبوا لَكَ الأَمثالَ فَضَلّوا فَلا يَستَطيعونَ سَبيلًا

Look how they set forth likenesses for you, then went astray and cannot find a way.

Al-Isra 17:49

وَقالوا أَءِذا كُنّا عِظٰمًا وَرُفٰتًا أَءِنّا لَمَبعوثونَ خَلقًا جَديدًا

They said, “When we are bones and crumbled remains, will we really be raised as a new creation?”

Al-Isra 17:50

قُل كونوا حِجارَةً أَو حَديدًا

Say, “Be stones or iron,

Al-Isra 17:51

أَو خَلقًا مِمّا يَكبُرُ فى صُدورِكُم ۚ فَسَيَقولونَ مَن يُعيدُنا ۖ قُلِ الَّذى فَطَرَكُم أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ ۚ فَسَيُنغِضونَ إِلَيكَ رُءوسَهُم وَيَقولونَ مَتىٰ هُوَ ۖ قُل عَسىٰ أَن يَكونَ قَريبًا

Or a creation of what seems great within your breasts.” They will say, “Who will bring us back?” Say, “The One who originated you the first time.” Then they will shake their heads at you and say, “When will it be?” Say, “Perhaps it is near.”

Al-Isra 17:52

يَومَ يَدعوكُم فَتَستَجيبونَ بِحَمدِهِ وَتَظُنّونَ إِن لَبِثتُم إِلّا قَليلًا

On the day He calls you and you respond with His praise, and you think that you remained only a little while.

Al-Isra 17:53

وَقُل لِعِبادى يَقولُوا الَّتى هِىَ أَحسَنُ ۚ إِنَّ الشَّيطٰنَ يَنزَغُ بَينَهُم ۚ إِنَّ الشَّيطٰنَ كانَ لِلإِنسٰنِ عَدُوًّا مُبينًا

Tell My servants to say what is best. Surely Satan sows discord among them. Surely Satan is an open enemy to the human being.

Al-Isra 17:54

رَبُّكُم أَعلَمُ بِكُم ۖ إِن يَشَأ يَرحَمكُم أَو إِن يَشَأ يُعَذِّبكُم ۚ وَما أَرسَلنٰكَ عَلَيهِم وَكيلًا

Your Lord knows you best. If He wills, He has mercy on you, or if He wills, He punishes you. We have not sent you as a trustee over them.

Al-Isra 17:55

وَرَبُّكَ أَعلَمُ بِمَن فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالأَرضِ ۗ وَلَقَد فَضَّلنا بَعضَ النَّبِيّـۧنَ عَلىٰ بَعضٍ ۖ وَءاتَينا داوۥدَ زَبورًا

Your Lord knows best whoever is in the heavens and the earth. We certainly favored some prophets over others, and We gave David the Psalms.

Al-Isra 17:56

قُلِ ادعُوا الَّذينَ زَعَمتُم مِن دونِهِ فَلا يَملِكونَ كَشفَ الضُّرِّ عَنكُم وَلا تَحويلًا

Say, “Call upon those whom you claim apart from Him. They have no power to remove harm from you or to shift it.”

Al-Isra 17:57

أُولٰئِكَ الَّذينَ يَدعونَ يَبتَغونَ إِلىٰ رَبِّهِمُ الوَسيلَةَ أَيُّهُم أَقرَبُ وَيَرجونَ رَحمَتَهُ وَيَخافونَ عَذابَهُ ۚ إِنَّ عَذابَ رَبِّكَ كانَ مَحذورًا

Those whom they call upon themselves seek a means of approach to their Lord—which of them is nearer—and hope for His mercy and fear His punishment. Your Lord’s punishment is indeed to be guarded against.

Al-Isra 17:58

وَإِن مِن قَريَةٍ إِلّا نَحنُ مُهلِكوها قَبلَ يَومِ القِيٰمَةِ أَو مُعَذِّبوها عَذابًا شَديدًا ۚ كانَ ذٰلِكَ فِى الكِتٰبِ مَسطورًا

There is no town that We will not destroy before the Day of Resurrection or punish with severe punishment. That is written in the Book.

Al-Isra 17:59

وَما مَنَعَنا أَن نُرسِلَ بِالـٔايٰتِ إِلّا أَن كَذَّبَ بِهَا الأَوَّلونَ ۚ وَءاتَينا ثَمودَ النّاقَةَ مُبصِرَةً فَظَلَموا بِها ۚ وَما نُرسِلُ بِالـٔايٰتِ إِلّا تَخويفًا

Nothing prevented Us from sending the signs except that the earlier peoples denied them. We gave Thamud the she-camel as a clear sign, but they wronged her. We send signs only to give warning.

Al-Isra 17:60

وَإِذ قُلنا لَكَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ أَحاطَ بِالنّاسِ ۚ وَما جَعَلنَا الرُّءيَا الَّتى أَرَينٰكَ إِلّا فِتنَةً لِلنّاسِ وَالشَّجَرَةَ المَلعونَةَ فِى القُرءانِ ۚ وَنُخَوِّفُهُم فَما يَزيدُهُم إِلّا طُغيٰنًا كَبيرًا

When We told you, “Your Lord encompasses the people.” We made the vision We showed you only a trial for the people, and also the cursed tree in the Qur’an. We warn them, but it only increases them in great transgression.

Al-Isra 17:61

وَإِذ قُلنا لِلمَلٰئِكَةِ اسجُدوا لِـٔادَمَ فَسَجَدوا إِلّا إِبليسَ قالَ ءَأَسجُدُ لِمَن خَلَقتَ طينًا

When We said to the angels, “Prostrate before Adam,” they prostrated, except Iblis. He said, “Shall I prostrate before one You created from clay?”

Al-Isra 17:62

قالَ أَرَءَيتَكَ هٰذَا الَّذى كَرَّمتَ عَلَىَّ لَئِن أَخَّرتَنِ إِلىٰ يَومِ القِيٰمَةِ لَأَحتَنِكَنَّ ذُرِّيَّتَهُ إِلّا قَليلًا

He said, “Tell me, is this the one You have honored above me? If You give me respite until the Day of Resurrection, I will surely take his descendants under my control, except a few.”

Al-Isra 17:63

قالَ اذهَب فَمَن تَبِعَكَ مِنهُم فَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ جَزاؤُكُم جَزاءً مَوفورًا

He said, “Go! Whoever among them follows you, Hell will be your recompense—a full recompense.

Al-Isra 17:64

وَاستَفزِز مَنِ استَطَعتَ مِنهُم بِصَوتِكَ وَأَجلِب عَلَيهِم بِخَيلِكَ وَرَجِلِكَ وَشارِكهُم فِى الأَموٰلِ وَالأَولٰدِ وَعِدهُم ۚ وَما يَعِدُهُمُ الشَّيطٰنُ إِلّا غُرورًا

Stir up whomever you can among them with your voice, rally your cavalry and infantry against them, share in their wealth and children, and make them promises.” Satan promises them nothing but delusion.

Al-Isra 17:65

إِنَّ عِبادى لَيسَ لَكَ عَلَيهِم سُلطٰنٌ ۚ وَكَفىٰ بِرَبِّكَ وَكيلًا

“Over My servants you have no authority.” Your Lord suffices as a trustee.

Al-Isra 17:66

رَبُّكُمُ الَّذى يُزجى لَكُمُ الفُلكَ فِى البَحرِ لِتَبتَغوا مِن فَضلِهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ كانَ بِكُم رَحيمًا

Your Lord is the One who drives the ships for you through the sea so that you may seek His bounty. He is indeed merciful to you.

Al-Isra 17:67

وَإِذا مَسَّكُمُ الضُّرُّ فِى البَحرِ ضَلَّ مَن تَدعونَ إِلّا إِيّاهُ ۖ فَلَمّا نَجّىٰكُم إِلَى البَرِّ أَعرَضتُم ۚ وَكانَ الإِنسٰنُ كَفورًا

When harm touches you at sea, those you call upon vanish from your thoughts except Him. But when He brings you safely to land, you turn away. The human being is ever ungrateful.

Al-Isra 17:68

أَفَأَمِنتُم أَن يَخسِفَ بِكُم جانِبَ البَرِّ أَو يُرسِلَ عَلَيكُم حاصِبًا ثُمَّ لا تَجِدوا لَكُم وَكيلًا

Do you feel secure that He will not make a tract of land swallow you or send a storm of stones against you, and then you will find no trustee for yourselves?

Al-Isra 17:69

أَم أَمِنتُم أَن يُعيدَكُم فيهِ تارَةً أُخرىٰ فَيُرسِلَ عَلَيكُم قاصِفًا مِنَ الرّيحِ فَيُغرِقَكُم بِما كَفَرتُم ۙ ثُمَّ لا تَجِدوا لَكُم عَلَينا بِهِ تَبيعًا

Or do you feel secure that He will not return you to it another time, send a shattering wind against you, and drown you for your ingratitude, and then you will find no one to pursue Us on your behalf over it?

Al-Isra 17:70

وَلَقَد كَرَّمنا بَنى ءادَمَ وَحَمَلنٰهُم فِى البَرِّ وَالبَحرِ وَرَزَقنٰهُم مِنَ الطَّيِّبٰتِ وَفَضَّلنٰهُم عَلىٰ كَثيرٍ مِمَّن خَلَقنا تَفضيلًا

We have certainly honored the children of Adam, carried them on land and sea, provided them with good things, and greatly favored them above many of those We created.

Al-Isra 17:71

يَومَ نَدعوا كُلَّ أُناسٍ بِإِمٰمِهِم ۖ فَمَن أوتِىَ كِتٰبَهُ بِيَمينِهِ فَأُولٰئِكَ يَقرَءونَ كِتٰبَهُم وَلا يُظلَمونَ فَتيلًا

On the day We call every group of people with their leader, those given their book in their right hand will read their book and will not be wronged by so much as a thread.

Al-Isra 17:72

وَمَن كانَ فى هٰذِهِ أَعمىٰ فَهُوَ فِى الـٔاخِرَةِ أَعمىٰ وَأَضَلُّ سَبيلًا

Whoever is blind in this will be blind in the Hereafter and further astray from the way.

Al-Isra 17:73

وَإِن كادوا لَيَفتِنونَكَ عَنِ الَّذى أَوحَينا إِلَيكَ لِتَفتَرِىَ عَلَينا غَيرَهُ ۖ وَإِذًا لَاتَّخَذوكَ خَليلًا

They almost tempted you away from what We revealed to you, so that you would invent something else against Us. Then they would have taken you as a close friend.

Al-Isra 17:74

وَلَولا أَن ثَبَّتنٰكَ لَقَد كِدتَ تَركَنُ إِلَيهِم شَيـًٔا قَليلًا

Had We not made you firm, you would nearly have inclined toward them a little.

Al-Isra 17:75

إِذًا لَأَذَقنٰكَ ضِعفَ الحَيوٰةِ وَضِعفَ المَماتِ ثُمَّ لا تَجِدُ لَكَ عَلَينا نَصيرًا

Then We would have made you taste double in life and double in death. Then you would have found no helper for yourself against Us.

Al-Isra 17:76

وَإِن كادوا لَيَستَفِزّونَكَ مِنَ الأَرضِ لِيُخرِجوكَ مِنها ۖ وَإِذًا لا يَلبَثونَ خِلٰفَكَ إِلّا قَليلًا

They almost unsettled you from the land to drive you out of it. Then they would have remained after you only a little while.

Al-Isra 17:77

سُنَّةَ مَن قَد أَرسَلنا قَبلَكَ مِن رُسُلِنا ۖ وَلا تَجِدُ لِسُنَّتِنا تَحويلًا

Such was the way with Our messengers whom We sent before you. You will find no alteration in Our way.

Al-Isra 17:78

أَقِمِ الصَّلوٰةَ لِدُلوكِ الشَّمسِ إِلىٰ غَسَقِ الَّيلِ وَقُرءانَ الفَجرِ ۖ إِنَّ قُرءانَ الفَجرِ كانَ مَشهودًا

Establish prayer from the sun’s decline until the darkness of night, and the recitation at dawn. The recitation at dawn is indeed witnessed.

Al-Isra 17:79

وَمِنَ الَّيلِ فَتَهَجَّد بِهِ نافِلَةً لَكَ عَسىٰ أَن يَبعَثَكَ رَبُّكَ مَقامًا مَحمودًا

And during part of the night, keep vigil with it as an additional devotion for you. Perhaps your Lord will raise you to a praised station.

Al-Isra 17:80

وَقُل رَبِّ أَدخِلنى مُدخَلَ صِدقٍ وَأَخرِجنى مُخرَجَ صِدقٍ وَاجعَل لى مِن لَدُنكَ سُلطٰنًا نَصيرًا

Say, “My Lord, bring me in with a true entrance and bring me out with a true exit, and grant me from Yourself a supporting authority.”

Al-Isra 17:81

وَقُل جاءَ الحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ البٰطِلُ ۚ إِنَّ البٰطِلَ كانَ زَهوقًا

Say, “Truth has come, and falsehood has passed away. Falsehood is indeed bound to pass away.”

Al-Isra 17:82

وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ القُرءانِ ما هُوَ شِفاءٌ وَرَحمَةٌ لِلمُؤمِنينَ ۙ وَلا يَزيدُ الظّٰلِمينَ إِلّا خَسارًا

We send down of the Qur’an what is healing and mercy for the believers, but it increases the wrongdoers only in loss.

Al-Isra 17:83

وَإِذا أَنعَمنا عَلَى الإِنسٰنِ أَعرَضَ وَنَـٔا بِجانِبِهِ ۖ وَإِذا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ كانَ يَـٔوسًا

When We bestow favor on the human being, he turns away and withdraws to one side. When harm touches him, he becomes deeply despairing.

Al-Isra 17:84

قُل كُلٌّ يَعمَلُ عَلىٰ شاكِلَتِهِ فَرَبُّكُم أَعلَمُ بِمَن هُوَ أَهدىٰ سَبيلًا

Say, “Everyone acts according to their own disposition. Your Lord knows best who is better guided in the way.”

Al-Isra 17:85

وَيَسـَٔلونَكَ عَنِ الرّوحِ ۖ قُلِ الرّوحُ مِن أَمرِ رَبّى وَما أوتيتُم مِنَ العِلمِ إِلّا قَليلًا

They ask you about the spirit. Say, “The spirit is of my Lord’s command, and you have been given only a little knowledge.”

Al-Isra 17:86

وَلَئِن شِئنا لَنَذهَبَنَّ بِالَّذى أَوحَينا إِلَيكَ ثُمَّ لا تَجِدُ لَكَ بِهِ عَلَينا وَكيلًا

If We willed, We could surely take away what We revealed to you. Then you would find no trustee for yourself against Us concerning it,

Al-Isra 17:87

إِلّا رَحمَةً مِن رَبِّكَ ۚ إِنَّ فَضلَهُ كانَ عَلَيكَ كَبيرًا

except as a mercy from your Lord. His bounty toward you is indeed great.

Al-Isra 17:88

قُل لَئِنِ اجتَمَعَتِ الإِنسُ وَالجِنُّ عَلىٰ أَن يَأتوا بِمِثلِ هٰذَا القُرءانِ لا يَأتونَ بِمِثلِهِ وَلَو كانَ بَعضُهُم لِبَعضٍ ظَهيرًا

Say, “If humans and jinn gathered to bring the like of this Qur’an, they could not bring its like, even if they supported one another.”

Al-Isra 17:89

وَلَقَد صَرَّفنا لِلنّاسِ فى هٰذَا القُرءانِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ فَأَبىٰ أَكثَرُ النّاسِ إِلّا كُفورًا

We have certainly presented every kind of example in varied ways for the people in this Qur’an, but most people insist on nothing but disbelief.

Al-Isra 17:90

وَقالوا لَن نُؤمِنَ لَكَ حَتّىٰ تَفجُرَ لَنا مِنَ الأَرضِ يَنبوعًا

They said, “We will never believe you until you make a spring gush from the ground for us,

Al-Isra 17:91

أَو تَكونَ لَكَ جَنَّةٌ مِن نَخيلٍ وَعِنَبٍ فَتُفَجِّرَ الأَنهٰرَ خِلٰلَها تَفجيرًا

or you have a garden of palms and grapevines and make rivers gush abundantly through it,

Al-Isra 17:92

أَو تُسقِطَ السَّماءَ كَما زَعَمتَ عَلَينا كِسَفًا أَو تَأتِىَ بِاللَّهِ وَالمَلٰئِكَةِ قَبيلًا

or you make the sky fall upon us in pieces as you have claimed, or bring The God and the angels face to face,

Al-Isra 17:93

أَو يَكونَ لَكَ بَيتٌ مِن زُخرُفٍ أَو تَرقىٰ فِى السَّماءِ وَلَن نُؤمِنَ لِرُقِيِّكَ حَتّىٰ تُنَزِّلَ عَلَينا كِتٰبًا نَقرَؤُهُ ۗ قُل سُبحانَ رَبّى هَل كُنتُ إِلّا بَشَرًا رَسولًا

or you have a house of gold, or ascend into the sky. We will not believe in your ascent until you bring down to us a book that we can read.” Say, “Glory be to my Lord! Am I anything but a human messenger?”

Al-Isra 17:94

وَما مَنَعَ النّاسَ أَن يُؤمِنوا إِذ جاءَهُمُ الهُدىٰ إِلّا أَن قالوا أَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ بَشَرًا رَسولًا

Nothing prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them except that they said, “Has The God sent a human as a messenger?”

Al-Isra 17:95

قُل لَو كانَ فِى الأَرضِ مَلٰئِكَةٌ يَمشونَ مُطمَئِنّينَ لَنَزَّلنا عَلَيهِم مِنَ السَّماءِ مَلَكًا رَسولًا

Say, “If there were angels walking securely on the earth, We would surely have sent down to them an angel from heaven as a messenger.”

Al-Isra 17:96

قُل كَفىٰ بِاللَّهِ شَهيدًا بَينى وَبَينَكُم ۚ إِنَّهُ كانَ بِعِبادِهِ خَبيرًا بَصيرًا

Say, “The God suffices as a witness between me and you. He is indeed fully aware of His servants and sees them.”

Al-Isra 17:97

وَمَن يَهدِ اللَّهُ فَهُوَ المُهتَدِ ۖ وَمَن يُضلِل فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُم أَولِياءَ مِن دونِهِ ۖ وَنَحشُرُهُم يَومَ القِيٰمَةِ عَلىٰ وُجوهِهِم عُميًا وَبُكمًا وَصُمًّا ۖ مَأوىٰهُم جَهَنَّمُ ۖ كُلَّما خَبَت زِدنٰهُم سَعيرًا

Whoever The God guides is rightly guided. Whoever He leads astray, you will find no guardians for them apart from Him. On the Day of Resurrection, We will gather them on their faces, blind, mute, and deaf. Their refuge is Hell; whenever it subsides, We will increase its blaze for them.

Al-Isra 17:98

ذٰلِكَ جَزاؤُهُم بِأَنَّهُم كَفَروا بِـٔايٰتِنا وَقالوا أَءِذا كُنّا عِظٰمًا وَرُفٰتًا أَءِنّا لَمَبعوثونَ خَلقًا جَديدًا

That is their recompense because they rejected Our signs and said, “When we have become bones and crumbled remains, will we really be raised in a new creation?”

Al-Isra 17:99

أَوَلَم يَرَوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذى خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالأَرضَ قادِرٌ عَلىٰ أَن يَخلُقَ مِثلَهُم وَجَعَلَ لَهُم أَجَلًا لا رَيبَ فيهِ فَأَبَى الظّٰلِمونَ إِلّا كُفورًا

Have they not seen that The God, who created the heavens and the earth, is able to create their like? He has appointed for them a term about which there is no doubt, but the wrongdoers insist on nothing but disbelief.

Al-Isra 17:100

قُل لَو أَنتُم تَملِكونَ خَزائِنَ رَحمَةِ رَبّى إِذًا لَأَمسَكتُم خَشيَةَ الإِنفاقِ ۚ وَكانَ الإِنسٰنُ قَتورًا

Say, “If you possessed the treasures of my Lord’s mercy, you would hold them back for fear of spending.” The human being is ever stingy.

Al-Isra 17:101

وَلَقَد ءاتَينا موسىٰ تِسعَ ءايٰتٍ بَيِّنٰتٍ ۖ فَسـَٔل بَنى إِسرٰءيلَ إِذ جاءَهُم فَقالَ لَهُ فِرعَونُ إِنّى لَأَظُنُّكَ يٰموسىٰ مَسحورًا

We certainly gave Moses nine clear signs. Ask the children of Israel: when he came to them, Pharaoh said to him, “Moses, I think you are bewitched.”

Al-Isra 17:102

قالَ لَقَد عَلِمتَ ما أَنزَلَ هٰؤُلاءِ إِلّا رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالأَرضِ بَصائِرَ وَإِنّى لَأَظُنُّكَ يٰفِرعَونُ مَثبورًا

He said, “You certainly know that none but the Lord of the heavens and the earth sent these down as insights. And I think you, Pharaoh, are doomed.”

Al-Isra 17:103

فَأَرادَ أَن يَستَفِزَّهُم مِنَ الأَرضِ فَأَغرَقنٰهُ وَمَن مَعَهُ جَميعًا

He intended to drive them from the land, so We drowned him and all those with him.

Al-Isra 17:104

وَقُلنا مِن بَعدِهِ لِبَنى إِسرٰءيلَ اسكُنُوا الأَرضَ فَإِذا جاءَ وَعدُ الـٔاخِرَةِ جِئنا بِكُم لَفيفًا

After him, We said to the children of Israel, “Dwell in the land. When the promise of the Hereafter comes, We will bring you all together.”

Al-Isra 17:105

وَبِالحَقِّ أَنزَلنٰهُ وَبِالحَقِّ نَزَلَ ۗ وَما أَرسَلنٰكَ إِلّا مُبَشِّرًا وَنَذيرًا

With truth We sent it down, and with truth it descended. We sent you only as a bearer of good news and a warner.

Al-Isra 17:106

وَقُرءانًا فَرَقنٰهُ لِتَقرَأَهُ عَلَى النّاسِ عَلىٰ مُكثٍ وَنَزَّلنٰهُ تَنزيلًا

And a Qur’an We have divided so that you may recite it to the people at intervals, and We sent it down gradually.

Al-Isra 17:107

قُل ءامِنوا بِهِ أَو لا تُؤمِنوا ۚ إِنَّ الَّذينَ أوتُوا العِلمَ مِن قَبلِهِ إِذا يُتلىٰ عَلَيهِم يَخِرّونَ لِلأَذقانِ سُجَّدًا

Say, “Believe in it or do not believe.” Those who were given knowledge before it, when it is recited to them, fall upon their chins in prostration,

Al-Isra 17:108

وَيَقولونَ سُبحٰنَ رَبِّنا إِن كانَ وَعدُ رَبِّنا لَمَفعولًا

and say, “Glory be to our Lord! Our Lord’s promise is surely fulfilled.”

Al-Isra 17:109

وَيَخِرّونَ لِلأَذقانِ يَبكونَ وَيَزيدُهُم خُشوعًا ۩

They fall upon their chins, weeping, and it increases them in humility.

Al-Isra 17:110

قُلِ ادعُوا اللَّهَ أَوِ ادعُوا الرَّحمٰنَ ۖ أَيًّا ما تَدعوا فَلَهُ الأَسماءُ الحُسنىٰ ۚ وَلا تَجهَر بِصَلاتِكَ وَلا تُخافِت بِها وَابتَغِ بَينَ ذٰلِكَ سَبيلًا

Say, “Call upon The God or call upon the Entirely Merciful. Whichever you call upon, to Him belong the most beautiful names.” Do not be loud in your prayer or quiet in it, but seek a way between the two.

Al-Isra 17:111

وَقُلِ الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذى لَم يَتَّخِذ وَلَدًا وَلَم يَكُن لَهُ شَريكٌ فِى المُلكِ وَلَم يَكُن لَهُ وَلِىٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ ۖ وَكَبِّرهُ تَكبيرًا

Say, “Praise belongs to The God, who has taken no child, who has no partner in sovereignty, and who has no guardian out of weakness.” Magnify Him greatly.
