Surah Al-Isra

Verse 17:1

سُبْحٰنَ الَّذِیْۤ اَسْرٰی بِعَبْدِهٖ لَیْلًا مِّنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ اِلَی الْمَسْجِدِ الْاَقْصَا الَّذِیْ بٰرَكْنَا حَوْلَهٗ لِنُرِیَهٗ مِنْ اٰیٰتِنَا ؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِیْعُ الْبَصِیْرُ ۟

Subḥaanal laẓeee ʹasraa biʻAbdihee laylam minal Masjidil Ḥaraami ʹilal Masjidil ʹAq̣ṣal laẓee baaraknaa ḥaw-lahoo linuriyahoo min ʹAayaatinaa: ʹinnahoo Huwas Sameeʻul Baṣeer.

Glory be to the One Who took His servant ˹Muḥammad˺ by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque whose surroundings We have blessed, so that We may show him some of Our signs. Indeed, He alone is the All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

Verse 17:2

وَاٰتَیْنَا مُوْسَی الْكِتٰبَ وَجَعَلْنٰهُ هُدًی لِّبَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ اَلَّا تَتَّخِذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِیْ وَكِیْلًا ۟ؕ

Wa-ʹaataynaa Moosal Kitaaba wa-jaʻalnaahu Hudal li-Baneee ʹIsraaaʹeela ʹallaa tat-takhiẓoo miñ doonee wakeelaa.

And We gave Moses the Scripture and made it a guide for the Children of Israel, ˹stating:˺ “Do not take besides Me any other Trustee of Affairs,

Verse 17:3

ذُرِّیَّةَ مَنْ حَمَلْنَا مَعَ نُوْحٍ ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ عَبْدًا شَكُوْرًا ۟

Ẓurriyyata man ḥamalnaa maʻa Nooḥ! ʹInnahoo kaana ʻabdañ shakooraa.

˹O˺ descendants of those We carried with Noah ˹in the Ark˺! He was indeed a grateful servant.”

Verse 17:4

وَقَضَیْنَاۤ اِلٰی بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ فِی الْكِتٰبِ لَتُفْسِدُنَّ فِی الْاَرْضِ مَرَّتَیْنِ وَلَتَعْلُنَّ عُلُوًّا كَبِیْرًا ۟

Wa-q̣aḍaynaaa ʹilaa Baneee ʹIsraaaʹeela fil kitaabi latufsidunna fil ʹarḍi marratayni wa-lataʻlunna ʻuluwwañ kabeeraa!

And We warned the Children of Israel in the Scripture, “You will certainly cause corruption in the land twice, and you will become extremely arrogant.

Verse 17:5

فَاِذَا جَآءَ وَعْدُ اُوْلٰىهُمَا بَعَثْنَا عَلَیْكُمْ عِبَادًا لَّنَاۤ اُولِیْ بَاْسٍ شَدِیْدٍ فَجَاسُوْا خِلٰلَ الدِّیَارِؕ وَكَانَ وَعْدًا مَّفْعُوْلًا ۟

Faʹiẓaa jaaaʹa waʻdu ʹulaahumaa baʻas̤naa ʻalaykum ʻibaadal lanaaa ʹulee baʹsiñ shadeediñ fajaasoo khilaalad diyaar; wa-kaana waʻdam mafʻoolaa.

When the first of the two warnings would come to pass, We would send against you some of Our servants of great might, who would ravage your homes. This would be a warning fulfilled.

Verse 17:6

ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَا لَكُمُ الْكَرَّةَ عَلَیْهِمْ وَاَمْدَدْنٰكُمْ بِاَمْوَالٍ وَّبَنِیْنَ وَجَعَلْنٰكُمْ اَكْثَرَ نَفِیْرًا ۟

S̤umma radadnaa lakumul karrata ʻalayhim wa-ʹamdadnaakum̃ biʹamwaaliñw wabaneena wa-jaʻalnaakum ʹaks̤ara nafeeraa.

Then ˹after your repentance˺ We would give you the upper hand over them and aid you with wealth and offspring, causing you to outnumber them.

Verse 17:7

اِنْ اَحْسَنْتُمْ اَحْسَنْتُمْ لِاَنْفُسِكُمْ ۫ وَاِنْ اَسَاْتُمْ فَلَهَا ؕ فَاِذَا جَآءَ وَعْدُ الْاٰخِرَةِ لِیَسُوْٓءٗا وُجُوْهَكُمْ وَلِیَدْخُلُوا الْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوْهُ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَّلِیُتَبِّرُوْا مَا عَلَوْا تَتْبِیْرًا ۟

ʹIn ʹaḥsañtum ʹaḥsañtum liʹañfusikum; wa-in ʹasaʹtum falahaa. Faʹiẓaa jaaaʹa waʻdul ʹaakhirati liyasoooʹu wujoohakum wa-liyadkhulul Masjida kamaa dakhaloohu ʹawwala marratiñw waliyutabbiroo maa- ʻalaw tatbeeraa.

If you act rightly, it is for your own good, but if you do wrong, it is to your own loss. “And when the second warning would come to pass, your enemies would ˹be left to˺ totally disgrace you and enter the Temple ˹of Jerusalem˺ as they entered it the first time, and utterly destroy whatever would fall into their hands.

Verse 17:8

عَسٰی رَبُّكُمْ اَنْ یَّرْحَمَكُمْ ۚ وَاِنْ عُدْتُّمْ عُدْنَا ۘ وَجَعَلْنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ حَصِیْرًا ۟

ʻAsaa Rabbukum ʹañy yarḥamakum; wa-ʹin ʻuttum ʻudnaa. Wa-jaʻalnaa Jahannama lilkaafireena ḥaṣeeraa.

Perhaps your Lord will have mercy on you ˹if you repent˺, but if you return ˹to sin˺, We will return ˹to punishment˺. And We have made Hell a ˹permanent˺ confinement for the disbelievers.”

Verse 17:9

اِنَّ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنَ یَهْدِیْ لِلَّتِیْ هِیَ اَقْوَمُ وَیُبَشِّرُ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ الَّذِیْنَ یَعْمَلُوْنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ اَنَّ لَهُمْ اَجْرًا كَبِیْرًا ۟ۙ

ʹInna haaẓal Q̣urʹaana yahdee lillatee hiya ʹaq̣wamu wa-yubashshirul Muʹmineenal laẓeena yaʻmaloonaṣ ṣaaliḥaati ʹanna lahum ʹajrañ kabeeraa;

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

Verse 17:10

وَّاَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ اَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابًا اَلِیْمًا ۟۠

Waʹannal laẓeena laa- yuʹminoona bil-ʹAakhirati ʹaʻtadnaa lahum ʻAẓaaban ʹaleemaa.

And ˹it warns˺ those who do not believe in the Hereafter ˹that˺ We have prepared for them a painful punishment.

Verse 17:11

وَیَدْعُ الْاِنْسَانُ بِالشَّرِّ دُعَآءَهٗ بِالْخَیْرِ ؕ وَكَانَ الْاِنْسَانُ عَجُوْلًا ۟

Wa-yadʻul ʹiñsaanu bishsharri duʻaaʹahoo bilkhayr; wa-kaanal ʹiñsaanu ʻajoolaa.

And humans ˹swiftly˺ pray for evil as they pray for good. For humankind is ever hasty.

Verse 17:12

وَجَعَلْنَا الَّیْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ اٰیَتَیْنِ فَمَحَوْنَاۤ اٰیَةَ الَّیْلِ وَجَعَلْنَاۤ اٰیَةَ النَّهَارِ مُبْصِرَةً لِّتَبْتَغُوْا فَضْلًا مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ وَلِتَعْلَمُوْا عَدَدَ السِّنِیْنَ وَالْحِسَابَ ؕ وَكُلَّ شَیْءٍ فَصَّلْنٰهُ تَفْصِیْلًا ۟

Wa-jaʻalnal Layla wan-Nahaara ʹAayatayni famaḥawnaaa ʹAayatal Layli wa-jaʻalnaaa ʹAayatan Nahaari mubṣiratal litabtag̣oo faḍlam mir rabbikum wa-litaʻlamoo ʻadadas sineena walḥisaab: wa-kulla shayʹiñ faṣṣalnaahu tafṣeelaa.

We made the day and night as two signs. So We made the sign of the night devoid of light, and We made the sign of the day ˹perfectly˺ bright, so that you may seek the bounty of your Lord and know the number of years and calculation ˹of time˺. And We have explained everything in detail.

Verse 17:13

وَكُلَّ اِنْسَانٍ اَلْزَمْنٰهُ طٰٓىِٕرَهٗ فِیْ عُنُقِهٖ ؕ وَنُخْرِجُ لَهٗ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ كِتٰبًا یَّلْقٰىهُ مَنْشُوْرًا ۟

Wa-kulla ʹiñsaanin ʹalzamnaahu ṭaaaʹirahoo fee ʻunuq̣ih: wa-nukhriju lahoo Yawmal Q̣iyaamati kitaabañy yalq̣aahu mañshooraa.

We have bound every human’s destiny to their neck. And on the Day of Judgment We will bring forth to each ˹person˺ a record which they will find laid open.

Verse 17:14

اِقْرَاْ كِتٰبَكَ ؕ كَفٰی بِنَفْسِكَ الْیَوْمَ عَلَیْكَ حَسِیْبًا ۟ؕ

ʹIq̣raʹ kitaabaka kafaa binafsikal yawma ʻalayka ḥaseebaa.

˹And it will be said,˺ “Read your record. You ˹alone˺ are sufficient this Day to take account of yourself.”

Verse 17:15

مَنِ اهْتَدٰی فَاِنَّمَا یَهْتَدِیْ لِنَفْسِهٖ ۚ وَمَنْ ضَلَّ فَاِنَّمَا یَضِلُّ عَلَیْهَا ؕ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِّزْرَ اُخْرٰی ؕ وَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِیْنَ حَتّٰی نَبْعَثَ رَسُوْلًا ۟

Manih tadaa faʹinnamaa yahtadee linafsih: Wa-mañ ḍalla faʹinnamaa yaḍillu ʻalayhaa: wa-laa taziru waaziratuñw wizra ʹukhraa: wa-maa kunnaa muʻaẓẓibeena ḥattaa nabʻas̤a rasoolaa.

Whoever chooses to be guided, it is only for their own good. And whoever chooses to stray, it is only to their own loss. No soul burdened with sin will bear the burden of another. And We would never punish ˹a people˺ until We have sent a messenger ˹to warn them˺.

Verse 17:16

وَاِذَاۤ اَرَدْنَاۤ اَنْ نُّهْلِكَ قَرْیَةً اَمَرْنَا مُتْرَفِیْهَا فَفَسَقُوْا فِیْهَا فَحَقَّ عَلَیْهَا الْقَوْلُ فَدَمَّرْنٰهَا تَدْمِیْرًا ۟

Wa-ʹiẓaaa ʹaradnaaa ʹan nuhlika q̣aryatan ʹamarnaa mutrafeehaa fafasaq̣oo feehaa faḥaq̣q̣a ʻalayhal q̣awlu fadammarnaahaa tadmeeraa.

Whenever We intend to destroy a society, We command its elite ˹to obey Allah˺ but they act rebelliously in it. So the decree ˹of punishment˺ is justified, and We destroy it utterly.

Verse 17:17

وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا مِنَ الْقُرُوْنِ مِنْ بَعْدِ نُوْحٍ ؕ وَكَفٰی بِرَبِّكَ بِذُنُوْبِ عِبَادِهٖ خَبِیْرًا بَصِیْرًا ۟

Wa-kam ʹahlaknaa minal q̣urooni mim baʻdi Nooḥ? Wa-kafaa bi-Rabbika biẓunoobi ʻibaadihee Khabeeram Baṣeeraa.

˹Imagine˺ how many peoples We have destroyed after Noah! And sufficient is your Lord as All-Aware and All-Seeing of the sins of His servants.

Verse 17:18

مَنْ كَانَ یُرِیْدُ الْعَاجِلَةَ عَجَّلْنَا لَهٗ فِیْهَا مَا نَشَآءُ لِمَنْ نُّرِیْدُ ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا لَهٗ جَهَنَّمَ ۚ یَصْلٰىهَا مَذْمُوْمًا مَّدْحُوْرًا ۟

Mañ kaana yureedul ʻaajilata ʻajjalnaa lahoo feehaa maa- nashaaaʹu liman nureedu s̤umma jaʻalnaa lahoo Jahannam: yaṣlaahaa maẓmoomam madḥooraa.

Whoever desires this fleeting world ˹alone˺, We hasten in it whatever We please to whoever We will; then We destine them for Hell, where they will burn, condemned and rejected.

Verse 17:19

وَمَنْ اَرَادَ الْاٰخِرَةَ وَسَعٰی لَهَا سَعْیَهَا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ كَانَ سَعْیُهُمْ مَّشْكُوْرًا ۟

Wa-man ʹaraadal ʹAakhirata wa-saʻaa lahaa saʻyahaa wa-huwa Muʹminuñ faʹulaaaʹika kaana saʻyuhum mashkooraa.

But whoever desires the Hereafter and strives for it accordingly, and is a ˹true˺ believer, it is they whose striving will be appreciated.

Verse 17:20

كُلًّا نُّمِدُّ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ وَهٰۤؤُلَآءِ مِنْ عَطَآءِ رَبِّكَ ؕ وَمَا كَانَ عَطَآءُ رَبِّكَ مَحْظُوْرًا ۟

kullan numiddu haaaʹulaaaʹi wa-haaaʹulaaaʹi min ʻaṭaaaʹi rabbik: Wa-maa kaana ʻaṭaaaʹu Rabbika maḥz̤̣ooraa.

We provide both the former and the latter from the bounty of your Lord. And the bounty of your Lord can never be withheld.

Verse 17:21

اُنْظُرْ كَیْفَ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلٰی بَعْضٍ ؕ وَلَلْاٰخِرَةُ اَكْبَرُ دَرَجٰتٍ وَّاَكْبَرُ تَفْضِیْلًا ۟

ʹUñz̤̣ur kayfa faḍḍalnaa baʻḍahum ʻalaa baʻḍ: wa-lalʹAakhiratu ʹakbaru darajaatiñw waʹakbaru tafḍeelaa.

See how We have favoured some over others ˹in this life˺, but the Hereafter is certainly far greater in rank and in favour.

Verse 17:22

لَا تَجْعَلْ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهًا اٰخَرَ فَتَقْعُدَ مَذْمُوْمًا مَّخْذُوْلًا ۟۠

Laa- tajʻal maʻal laahi ʹilaahan ʹaakhara fataq̣ʻuda maẓmoomam makhẓoolaa.

Do not set up any other god with Allah, or you will end up condemned, abandoned.

Verse 17:23

وَقَضٰی رَبُّكَ اَلَّا تَعْبُدُوْۤا اِلَّاۤ اِیَّاهُ وَبِالْوَالِدَیْنِ اِحْسَانًا ؕ اِمَّا یَبْلُغَنَّ عِنْدَكَ الْكِبَرَ اَحَدُهُمَاۤ اَوْ كِلٰهُمَا فَلَا تَقُلْ لَّهُمَاۤ اُفٍّ وَّلَا تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَقُلْ لَّهُمَا قَوْلًا كَرِیْمًا ۟

Wa-q̣aḍaa Rabbuka ʹallaa taʻbudooo ʹillaaa ʹiyyaahu wa-bilwaalidayni ʹiḥsaanaa. ʹImmaa yablug̣anna ʻiñdakal kibara ʹaḥaduhumaaa aw kilaahumaa falaa taq̣ul lahumaaa ʹuffiñw Walaa tanharhumaa wa-q̣ul lahumaa q̣awlañ kareemaa.

For your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And honour your parents. If one or both of them reach old age in your care, never say to them ˹even˺ ‘ugh,’ nor yell at them. Rather, address them respectfully.

Verse 17:24

وَاخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ الذُّلِّ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ وَقُلْ رَّبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّیٰنِیْ صَغِیْرًا ۟ؕ

Wakhfiḍ lahumaa janaaḥaẓ ẓulli minar raḥmati wa-q̣ur Rabbir ḥamhumaa kamaa rabbayaani ṣag̣eeraa.

And be humble with them out of mercy, and pray, “My Lord! Be merciful to them as they raised me when I was young.”

Verse 17:25

رَبُّكُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِیْ نُفُوْسِكُمْ ؕ اِنْ تَكُوْنُوْا صٰلِحِیْنَ فَاِنَّهٗ كَانَ لِلْاَوَّابِیْنَ غَفُوْرًا ۟

Rabbukum ʹaʻlamu bimaa fee nufoosikum: ʹiñ takoonoo ṣaaliḥeena faʹinnahoo kaana lil-ʹawwabeena G̣afooraa.

Your Lord knows best what is within yourselves. If you are righteous, He is certainly All-Forgiving to those who ˹constantly˺ turn to Him.

Verse 17:26

وَاٰتِ ذَا الْقُرْبٰی حَقَّهٗ وَالْمِسْكِیْنَ وَابْنَ السَّبِیْلِ وَلَا تُبَذِّرْ تَبْذِیْرًا ۟

Wa-ʹaati ẓal q̣urbaa ḥaq̣q̣ahoo walmiskeena wabnas sabeeli wa-laa tubaẓẓir tabẓeeraa.

Give to close relatives their due, as well as the poor and ˹needy˺ travellers. And do not spend wastefully.

Verse 17:27

اِنَّ الْمُبَذِّرِیْنَ كَانُوْۤا اِخْوَانَ الشَّیٰطِیْنِ ؕ وَكَانَ الشَّیْطٰنُ لِرَبِّهٖ كَفُوْرًا ۟

ʹInnal mubaẓẓireena kaanooo ʹikhwaanash shayaaṭeen; wa-kaanash Shayṭaanu li-Rabbihee kafooraa.

Surely the wasteful are ˹like˺ brothers to the devils. And the Devil is ever ungrateful to his Lord.

Verse 17:28

وَاِمَّا تُعْرِضَنَّ عَنْهُمُ ابْتِغَآءَ رَحْمَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّكَ تَرْجُوْهَا فَقُلْ لَّهُمْ قَوْلًا مَّیْسُوْرًا ۟

Wa-ʹimmaa tuʻriḍanna ʻanhum ubtig̣aaaʹa Raḥmatim mir Rabbika tarjoohaa faq̣ullahum raa. q̣awlam maysoo

But if you must turn them down ˹because you lack the means to give˺—while hoping to receive your Lord’s bounty—then ˹at least˺ give them a kind word.

Verse 17:29

وَلَا تَجْعَلْ یَدَكَ مَغْلُوْلَةً اِلٰی عُنُقِكَ وَلَا تَبْسُطْهَا كُلَّ الْبَسْطِ فَتَقْعُدَ مَلُوْمًا مَّحْسُوْرًا ۟

Wa-laa tajʻal yadaka mag̣loolatan ʹilaa ʻunuq̣ika wa-laa tabsuṭhaa kullal basṭi fataq̣ʻuda maloomam maḥsooraa.

Do not be so tight-fisted, for you will be blameworthy; nor so open-handed, for you will end up in poverty.

Verse 17:30

اِنَّ رَبَّكَ یَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَیَقْدِرُ ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهٖ خَبِیْرًا بَصِیْرًا ۟۠

ʹInna Rabbaka yabsuṭur rizq̣a limañy yashaaaʹu wa-yaq̣dir. ʹInnahoo kaana biʻibaadihee Khabeeram Baṣeeraa.

Surely your Lord gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills. He is certainly All-Aware, All-Seeing of His servants.

Verse 17:31

وَلَا تَقْتُلُوْۤا اَوْلَادَكُمْ خَشْیَةَ اِمْلَاقٍ ؕ نَحْنُ نَرْزُقُهُمْ وَاِیَّاكُمْ ؕ اِنَّ قَتْلَهُمْ كَانَ خِطْاً كَبِیْرًا ۟

Wa-laa taq̣tulooo ʹawlaadakum khashyata ʹimlaaq̣: Naḥnu narzuq̣uhum wa-ʹiyyaakum ʹInna q̣atlahum kaana khiṭʹañ kabeeraa.

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

Verse 17:32

وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا الزِّنٰۤی اِنَّهٗ كَانَ فَاحِشَةً ؕ وَسَآءَ سَبِیْلًا ۟

Wa-laa taq̣rabuz zinaaa ʹinnahoo kaana faaḥishah: wa-saaaʹa sabeelaa.

Do not go near adultery. It is truly a shameful deed and an evil way.

Verse 17:33

وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا النَّفْسَ الَّتِیْ حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ اِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ ؕ وَمَنْ قُتِلَ مَظْلُوْمًا فَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا لِوَلِیِّهٖ سُلْطٰنًا فَلَا یُسْرِفْ فِّی الْقَتْلِ ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ مَنْصُوْرًا ۟

Wa-laa taq̣tulun nafsal latee ḥarramal laahu ʹillaa bilḥaq̣q̣. Wa-mañ q̣utila maz̤̣loomañ faq̣ad jaʻalnaa liwaliyyihee sulṭaanañ falaa yusrif fil q̣atl; ʹinnahoo kaana mañṣooraa.

Do not take a ˹human˺ life—made sacred by Allah—except with ˹legal˺ right. If anyone is killed unjustly, We have given their heirs the authority, but do not let them exceed limits in retaliation, for they are already supported ˹by law˺.

Verse 17:34

وَلَا تَقْرَبُوْا مَالَ الْیَتِیْمِ اِلَّا بِالَّتِیْ هِیَ اَحْسَنُ حَتّٰی یَبْلُغَ اَشُدَّهٗ ۪ وَاَوْفُوْا بِالْعَهْدِ ۚ اِنَّ الْعَهْدَ كَانَ مَسْـُٔوْلًا ۟

Wa-laa taq̣raboo maalal yateemi ʹillaa billatee hiya ʹaḥsanu ḥattaa yablug̣a ʹashuddah; wa-ʹawfoo bilʻahd: ʹinnal ʻahda kaana masʹoolaa.

Do not come near the wealth of the orphan—unless intending to enhance it—until they attain maturity. Honour ˹your˺ pledges, for you will surely be accountable for them.

Verse 17:35

وَاَوْفُوا الْكَیْلَ اِذَا كِلْتُمْ وَزِنُوْا بِالْقِسْطَاسِ الْمُسْتَقِیْمِ ؕ ذٰلِكَ خَیْرٌ وَّاَحْسَنُ تَاْوِیْلًا ۟

Wa-ʹawful kayla ʹiẓaa kiltum wazinoo bilq̣isṭaasil mustaq̣eem: ẓaalika khayruñw waʹaḥsanu taʹweelaa.

Give in full when you measure, and weigh with an even balance. That is fairest and best in the end.

Verse 17:36

وَلَا تَقْفُ مَا لَیْسَ لَكَ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ ؕ اِنَّ السَّمْعَ وَالْبَصَرَ وَالْفُؤَادَ كُلُّ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ كَانَ عَنْهُ مَسْـُٔوْلًا ۟

Wa-laa taq̣fu maa- laysa laka bihee ʻilm; ʹinnas samʻa walbaṣara walfuʹaada kullu ʹulaaaʹika kaana ʻanhu masʹoolaa.

Do not follow what you have no ˹sure˺ knowledge of. Indeed, all will be called to account for ˹their˺ hearing, sight, and intellect.

Verse 17:37

وَلَا تَمْشِ فِی الْاَرْضِ مَرَحًا ۚ اِنَّكَ لَنْ تَخْرِقَ الْاَرْضَ وَلَنْ تَبْلُغَ الْجِبَالَ طُوْلًا ۟

Wa-laa tamshi fil ʹarḍi maraḥaa: ʹinnaka lañ takhriq̣al ʹarḍa wa-lañ tablug̣al jibaala ṭoolaa.

And do not walk on the earth arrogantly. Surely you can neither crack the earth nor stretch to the height of the mountains.

Verse 17:38

كُلُّ ذٰلِكَ كَانَ سَیِّئُهٗ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ مَكْرُوْهًا ۟

Kullu ẓaalika kaana sayyiʹuhoo ʻiñda Rabbika makroohaa.

The violation of any of these ˹commandments˺ is detestable to your Lord.

Verse 17:39

ذٰلِكَ مِمَّاۤ اَوْحٰۤی اِلَیْكَ رَبُّكَ مِنَ الْحِكْمَةِ ؕ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهًا اٰخَرَ فَتُلْقٰی فِیْ جَهَنَّمَ مَلُوْمًا مَّدْحُوْرًا ۟

Ẓaalika mimmaaa ʹawḥaaa ʹilayka Rabbuka minal ḥikmah. wa-laa tajʻal maʻal laahi ʹilaahan ʹaakhara fatulq̣aa fee Jahannama maloomam madḥooraa.

This is part of the wisdom which your Lord has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺. And do not set up any other god with Allah ˹O humanity˺, or you will be cast into Hell, blameworthy, rejected.

Verse 17:40

اَفَاَصْفٰىكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ بِالْبَنِیْنَ وَاتَّخَذَ مِنَ الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةِ اِنَاثًا ؕ اِنَّكُمْ لَتَقُوْلُوْنَ قَوْلًا عَظِیْمًا ۟۠

ʹA-faʹaṣfaakum Rabbukum̃ bilbaneena wattakhaẓa minal malaaaʹikati ʹinaas̤aa? ʹInnakum lataq̣ooloona q̣awlan ʻaz̤̣eemaa!

Has your Lord favoured you ˹pagans˺ with sons and taken angels as ˹His˺ daughters? You are truly making an outrageous claim.

Verse 17:41

وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِیْ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ لِیَذَّكَّرُوْا ؕ وَمَا یَزِیْدُهُمْ اِلَّا نُفُوْرًا ۟

Wa-laq̣ad ṣarrafnaa fee haaẓal Q̣urʹaani liyaẓẓakkaroo: wa-maa yazeeduhum ʹillaa nufooraa!

We have surely varied ˹the signs˺ in this Quran so perhaps they may be mindful, but it only drives them farther away.

Verse 17:42

قُلْ لَّوْ كَانَ مَعَهٗۤ اٰلِهَةٌ كَمَا یَقُوْلُوْنَ اِذًا لَّابْتَغَوْا اِلٰی ذِی الْعَرْشِ سَبِیْلًا ۟

Q̣ul law kaana maʻahooo ʹaalihatuñ kamaa yaq̣ooloona ʹiẓal labtag̣aw ʹilaa Ẓil ʻArshi sabeelaa!

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Had there been other gods besides Him—as they claim—then they would have certainly sought a way to ˹challenge˺ the Lord of the Throne.”

Verse 17:43

سُبْحٰنَهٗ وَتَعٰلٰی عَمَّا یَقُوْلُوْنَ عُلُوًّا كَبِیْرًا ۟

Subḥaanahoo wa-Taʻaalaa ʻammaa yaq̣ooloona ʻUluwwañ Kabeeraa!

Glorified and Highly Exalted is He above what they claim!

Verse 17:44

تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ السَّمٰوٰتُ السَّبْعُ وَالْاَرْضُ وَمَنْ فِیْهِنَّ ؕ وَاِنْ مِّنْ شَیْءٍ اِلَّا یُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِهٖ وَلٰكِنْ لَّا تَفْقَهُوْنَ تَسْبِیْحَهُمْ ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ حَلِیْمًا غَفُوْرًا ۟

Tusabbiḥu lahus samaawaatus sabʻu wal-ʹarḍu wa-mañ feehinn: wa-ʹim miñ shayʹin ʹillaa yusabbiḥu bi-Ḥamdihee wa-laakil laa tafq̣ahoona tasbeeḥahum: ʹInnahoo kaana Ḥaleeman G̣afooraa!

The seven heavens, the earth, and all those in them glorify Him. There is not a single thing that does not glorify His praises—but you ˹simply˺ cannot comprehend their glorification. He is indeed Most Forbearing, All-Forgiving.

Verse 17:45

وَاِذَا قَرَاْتَ الْقُرْاٰنَ جَعَلْنَا بَیْنَكَ وَبَیْنَ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ حِجَابًا مَّسْتُوْرًا ۟ۙ

Wa-ʹiẓaa q̣araʹtal Q̣urʹaana jaʻalnaa baynaka wa-baynal laẓeena laa- yuʹminoona bil-ʹAakhirati ḥijaabam mastooraa;

When you ˹O Prophet˺ recite the Quran, We put a hidden barrier between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter.

Verse 17:46

وَّجَعَلْنَا عَلٰی قُلُوْبِهِمْ اَكِنَّةً اَنْ یَّفْقَهُوْهُ وَفِیْۤ اٰذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًا ؕ وَاِذَا ذَكَرْتَ رَبَّكَ فِی الْقُرْاٰنِ وَحْدَهٗ وَلَّوْا عَلٰۤی اَدْبَارِهِمْ نُفُوْرًا ۟

Wa-jaʻalnaa ʻalaa q̣uloobihim ʹakinnatan ʹañy yafq̣ahoohu wa-feee ʹaaẓaanihim waq̣raa: wa-ʹiẓaa ẓakarta Rabbaka fil Q̣urʹaani Waḥdahoo wallaw ʻalaaa ʹadbaarihim nufooraa.

We have cast veils over their hearts—leaving them unable to comprehend it—and deafness in their ears. And when you mention your Lord alone in the Quran, they turn their backs in aversion.

Verse 17:47

نَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا یَسْتَمِعُوْنَ بِهٖۤ اِذْ یَسْتَمِعُوْنَ اِلَیْكَ وَاِذْ هُمْ نَجْوٰۤی اِذْ یَقُوْلُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ اِنْ تَتَّبِعُوْنَ اِلَّا رَجُلًا مَّسْحُوْرًا ۟

Naḥnu ʹaʻlamu bimaa yastamiʻoona biheee ʹiẓ yastamiʻoona ʹilayka wa-ʹiẓ hum najwaaa ʹiẓ yaq̣ooluz̤̣ z̤̣aalimoona ʹiñ tattabiʻoona ʹillaa rajulam mas-ḥooraa.

We know best how they listen to your recitation and what they say privately—when the wrongdoers say, “You would only be following a bewitched man.”

Verse 17:48

اُنْظُرْ كَیْفَ ضَرَبُوْا لَكَ الْاَمْثَالَ فَضَلُّوْا فَلَا یَسْتَطِیْعُوْنَ سَبِیْلًا ۟

ʹUñz̤̣ur kayfa ḍaraboo lakal ʹams̤aala faḍalloo falaa yastaṭeeʻoona sabeelaa.

See how they call you names ˹O Prophet˺! So they have gone so ˹far˺ astray that they cannot find the ˹Right˺ Way.

Verse 17:49

وَقَالُوْۤا ءَاِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا وَّرُفَاتًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَبْعُوْثُوْنَ خَلْقًا جَدِیْدًا ۟

Wa-q̣aalooo ʹa-ʹiẓaa kunnaa ʻiz̤̣aamañw Warufaatan ʹa-ʹinnaa lamabʻoos̤oona khalq̣añ jadeedaa?

And they say ˹mockingly˺, “When we are reduced to bones and ashes, will we really be raised as a new creation?”

Verse 17:50

قُلْ كُوْنُوْا حِجَارَةً اَوْ حَدِیْدًا ۟ۙ

Q̣ul koonoo ḥijaaratan ʹaw ḥadeedaa,

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “˹Yes, even if˺ you become stones, or iron,

Verse 17:51

اَوْ خَلْقًا مِّمَّا یَكْبُرُ فِیْ صُدُوْرِكُمْ ۚ فَسَیَقُوْلُوْنَ مَنْ یُّعِیْدُنَا ؕ قُلِ الَّذِیْ فَطَرَكُمْ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ ۚ فَسَیُنْغِضُوْنَ اِلَیْكَ رُءُوْسَهُمْ وَیَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰی هُوَ ؕ قُلْ عَسٰۤی اَنْ یَّكُوْنَ قَرِیْبًا ۟

ʹAw khalq̣am mimmaa yakburu fee ṣudoorikum! Fasayaq̣ooloona mañy yuʻeedunaa? Q̣ulil laẓee faṭarakum ʹawwala marrah! Fasayung̣iḍoona ʹilayka ruʹoosahum wa-yaq̣ooloona mataa hu? Q̣ul ʻasaaa ʹañy yakoona q̣areebaa!

or whatever you think is harder to bring to life!” Then they will ask ˹you˺, “Who will bring us back ˹to life˺?” Say, “The One Who created you the first time.” They will then shake their heads at you and ask, “When will that be?” Say, “Perhaps it is soon!”

Verse 17:52

یَوْمَ یَدْعُوْكُمْ فَتَسْتَجِیْبُوْنَ بِحَمْدِهٖ وَتَظُنُّوْنَ اِنْ لَّبِثْتُمْ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا ۟۠

Yawma yadʻookum fatastajeeboona bi-Ḥamdihee wa-taunnoona ʹil labis̤tum ʹillaa q̣aleelaa!

On the Day He will call you, you will ˹instantly˺ respond by praising Him, thinking you had remained ˹in the world˺ only for a little while.

Verse 17:53

وَقُلْ لِّعِبَادِیْ یَقُوْلُوا الَّتِیْ هِیَ اَحْسَنُ ؕ اِنَّ الشَّیْطٰنَ یَنْزَغُ بَیْنَهُمْ ؕ اِنَّ الشَّیْطٰنَ كَانَ لِلْاِنْسَانِ عَدُوًّا مُّبِیْنًا ۟

Wa-q̣ul liʻibaadee yaq̣oolul latee hiya ʹaḥsan: ʹinnash shayṭaana yañzag̣u baynahum: ʹinnash Shayṭaana kaana lil-ʹiñsaani ʻaduwwam mubeenaa.

Tell My ˹believing˺ servants to say only what is best. Satan certainly seeks to sow discord among them. Satan is indeed a sworn enemy to humankind.

Verse 17:54

رَبُّكُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ ؕ اِنْ یَّشَاْ یَرْحَمْكُمْ اَوْ اِنْ یَّشَاْ یُعَذِّبْكُمْ ؕ وَمَاۤ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ عَلَیْهِمْ وَكِیْلًا ۟

Rabbukum ʹaʻlamu bikum: ʹiñy yashaʹ yarḥamkum ʹaw ʹiñy yashaʹ yuʻaẓẓibkum: wa-maaa ʹarsalnaaka ʻalayhim wakeelaa.

Your Lord knows you best. He may have mercy on you if He wills, or punish you if He wills. We have not sent you ˹O Prophet˺ as a keeper over them.

Verse 17:55

وَرَبُّكَ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ ؕ وَلَقَدْ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَ النَّبِیّٖنَ عَلٰی بَعْضٍ وَّاٰتَیْنَا دَاوٗدَ زَبُوْرًا ۟

Wa-Rabbuka ʹaʻlamu bimañ fis samaawaati wal-ʹarḍ: wa-laq̣ad faḍḍalnaa baʻḍan nabiyyeena ʻalaa baʻḍiñw waʹaataynaa Daawooda Zabooraa.

Your Lord knows best all those in the heavens and the earth. And We have surely favoured some prophets above others, and to David We gave the Psalms.

Verse 17:56

قُلِ ادْعُوا الَّذِیْنَ زَعَمْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖ فَلَا یَمْلِكُوْنَ كَشْفَ الضُّرِّ عَنْكُمْ وَلَا تَحْوِیْلًا ۟

Q̣ulid ʻul laẓeena zaʻamtum miñ doonihee falaa yamlikoona kashfaḍ ḍurri ʻañkum wa-laa taḥweelaa.

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Invoke those you claim ˹to be divine˺ besides Him—they do not have the power to undo harm from you or transfer it ˹to someone else˺.”

Verse 17:57

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ یَدْعُوْنَ یَبْتَغُوْنَ اِلٰی رَبِّهِمُ الْوَسِیْلَةَ اَیُّهُمْ اَقْرَبُ وَیَرْجُوْنَ رَحْمَتَهٗ وَیَخَافُوْنَ عَذَابَهٗ ؕ اِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ كَانَ مَحْذُوْرًا ۟

ʹUlaaaʹikal laẓeena yadʻoona yabtag̣oona ʹilaa Rabbihimul Waseelata ʹayyuhum ʹaq̣rabu wa-yarjoona Raḥmatahoo wa-yakhafoona ʻAẓaabah: ʹinna ʻAẓaaba Rabbika kaana maḥẓooraa.

˹Even˺ the closest ˹to Allah˺ of those invoked would be seeking a way to their Lord, hoping for His mercy, and fearing His punishment. Indeed, your Lord’s torment is fearsome.

Verse 17:58

وَاِنْ مِّنْ قَرْیَةٍ اِلَّا نَحْنُ مُهْلِكُوْهَا قَبْلَ یَوْمِ الْقِیٰمَةِ اَوْ مُعَذِّبُوْهَا عَذَابًا شَدِیْدًا ؕ كَانَ ذٰلِكَ فِی الْكِتٰبِ مَسْطُوْرًا ۟

Wa-ʹim miñ q̣aryatin ʹillaa Naḥnu muhlikoohaa q̣abla yawmil Q̣iyaamati ʹaw muʻaẓẓiboohaa ʻaẓaabañ shadeedaa: kaana ẓaalika fil Kitaabi masṭooraa.

There is not a ˹wicked˺ society that We will not destroy or punish with a severe torment before the Day of Judgment. That is written in the Record.

Verse 17:59

وَمَا مَنَعَنَاۤ اَنْ نُّرْسِلَ بِالْاٰیٰتِ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ كَذَّبَ بِهَا الْاَوَّلُوْنَ ؕ وَاٰتَیْنَا ثَمُوْدَ النَّاقَةَ مُبْصِرَةً فَظَلَمُوْا بِهَا ؕ وَمَا نُرْسِلُ بِالْاٰیٰتِ اِلَّا تَخْوِیْفًا ۟

Wa-maa manaʻanaaa ʹañ nursila bil-ʹaayaati ʹillaaa ʹañ kaẓẓaba bihal ʹawwaloon: wa-ʹaataynaa S̤amoodan Naaq̣ata mubṣiratañ faalamoo bihaa: wa-maa nursilu bil-ʹAayaati ʹillaa takhweefaa.

Nothing keeps Us from sending the ˹demanded˺ signs except that they had ˹already˺ been denied by earlier peoples. And We gave Thamûd the she-camel as a clear sign, but they wrongfully rejected it. We only send the signs as a warning.

Verse 17:60

وَاِذْ قُلْنَا لَكَ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ اَحَاطَ بِالنَّاسِ ؕ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الرُّءْیَا الَّتِیْۤ اَرَیْنٰكَ اِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِّلنَّاسِ وَالشَّجَرَةَ الْمَلْعُوْنَةَ فِی الْقُرْاٰنِ ؕ وَنُخَوِّفُهُمْ ۙ فَمَا یَزِیْدُهُمْ اِلَّا طُغْیَانًا كَبِیْرًا ۟۠

Wa-ʹiẓ q̣ulnaa laka ʹinna Rabbaka ʹaḥaaṭa binnaas: wa-maa jaʻalnar ruʹyal lateee ʹaraynaaka ʹillaa fitnatal linnaasi wash-Shajaratal Malʻoonata fil Q̣urʹaan: wa-nukhaw-wifuhum famaa yazeeduhum ʹillaa ṭug̣yaanañ kabeeraa.

And ˹remember, O Prophet˺ when We told you, “Certainly your Lord encompasses the people.” And We have made what We brought you to see as well as the cursed tree ˹mentioned˺ in the Quran only as a test for the people. We keep warning them, but it only increases them greatly in defiance.

Verse 17:61

وَاِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةِ اسْجُدُوْا لِاٰدَمَ فَسَجَدُوْۤا اِلَّاۤ اِبْلِیْسَ ؕ قَالَ ءَاَسْجُدُ لِمَنْ خَلَقْتَ طِیْنًا ۟ۚ

Wa-ʹiẓ q̣ulnaa lil-malaaaʹikatis judoo liʹAadama fasajadooo ʹillaaa ʹIblees: q̣aala ʹaʹasjudu liman khalaq̣ta ṭeenaa?

And ˹remember˺ when We said to the angels, “Prostrate before Adam,” so they all did—but not Iblîs, who protested, “Should I prostrate to the one You have created from mud?”

Verse 17:62

قَالَ اَرَءَیْتَكَ هٰذَا الَّذِیْ كَرَّمْتَ عَلَیَّ ؗ لَىِٕنْ اَخَّرْتَنِ اِلٰی یَوْمِ الْقِیٰمَةِ لَاَحْتَنِكَنَّ ذُرِّیَّتَهٗۤ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا ۟

Q̣aala ʹaraʹaytaka haaẓal laẓee karramta ʻalayy! Laʹin ʹakhkhartani ʹilaa Yawmil Q̣iyaamati laʹaḥtanikanna ẓurriyyatahooo ʹillaa q̣aleelaa!

Adding, “Do you see this one you honoured above me? If you delay my end until the Day of Judgment, I will certainly take hold of his descendants, except for a few.”

Verse 17:63

قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَمَنْ تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ فَاِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ جَزَآؤُكُمْ جَزَآءً مَّوْفُوْرًا ۟

Q̣aalaẓ hab famañ tabiʻaka minhum faʹinna Jahannama jazaaaʹukum jazaaaʹam mawfooraa.

Allah responded, “Be gone! Whoever of them follows you, Hell will surely be the reward for all of you—an ample reward.

Verse 17:64

وَاسْتَفْزِزْ مَنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ مِنْهُمْ بِصَوْتِكَ وَاَجْلِبْ عَلَیْهِمْ بِخَیْلِكَ وَرَجِلِكَ وَشَارِكْهُمْ فِی الْاَمْوَالِ وَالْاَوْلَادِ وَعِدْهُمْ ؕ وَمَا یَعِدُهُمُ الشَّیْطٰنُ اِلَّا غُرُوْرًا ۟

Wastafziz manis taṭaʻta minhum̃ biṣawtika wa-ʹajlib ʻalayhim̃ bikhaylika wa-rajilika wa-shaarik-hum fil ʹamwaali wal-ʹawlaadi wa-ʻidhum. Wa-maa yaʻiduhumush Shayṭaanu ʹillaa g̣urooraa.

And incite whoever you can of them with your voice, mobilize against them all your cavalry and infantry, manipulate them in their wealth and children, and make them promises.” But Satan promises them nothing but delusion.

Verse 17:65

اِنَّ عِبَادِیْ لَیْسَ لَكَ عَلَیْهِمْ سُلْطٰنٌ ؕ وَكَفٰی بِرَبِّكَ وَكِیْلًا ۟

ʹInna ʻibaadi laysa laka ʻalayhim sulṭaan: wa-kafaa bi-Rabbika Wakeelaa.

˹Allah added,˺ “You will truly have no authority over My ˹faithful˺ servants.” And sufficient is your Lord as a Guardian.

Verse 17:66

رَبُّكُمُ الَّذِیْ یُزْجِیْ لَكُمُ الْفُلْكَ فِی الْبَحْرِ لِتَبْتَغُوْا مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِیْمًا ۟

Rabbukumul laẓee yuzjee lakumul Fulka fil baḥri litabtag̣oo miñ faḍlih ʹInnahoo kaana bikum Raḥeemaa.

It is your Lord Who steers the ships for you through the sea, so that you may seek His bounty. Surely He is ever Merciful to you.

Verse 17:67

وَاِذَا مَسَّكُمُ الضُّرُّ فِی الْبَحْرِ ضَلَّ مَنْ تَدْعُوْنَ اِلَّاۤ اِیَّاهُ ۚ فَلَمَّا نَجّٰىكُمْ اِلَی الْبَرِّ اَعْرَضْتُمْ ؕ وَكَانَ الْاِنْسَانُ كَفُوْرًا ۟

Wa-ʹiẓaa massakumuḍ ḍurru fil baḥri ḍalla mañ tadʻoona ʹillaaa ʹiyyaah! Falammaa najjaakum ʹilal barri ʹaʻraḍtum. Wa-kaanal ʹiñsaanu kafooraa!

When you are touched with hardship at sea, you ˹totally˺ forget all ˹the gods˺ you ˹normally˺ invoke, except Him. But when He delivers you ˹safely˺ to shore, you turn away. Humankind is ever ungrateful.

Verse 17:68

اَفَاَمِنْتُمْ اَنْ یَّخْسِفَ بِكُمْ جَانِبَ الْبَرِّ اَوْ یُرْسِلَ عَلَیْكُمْ حَاصِبًا ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُوْا لَكُمْ وَكِیْلًا ۟ۙ

ʹA-faʹamiñtum ʹañy yakhsifa bikum jaanibal barri ʹaw yursila ʻalaykum ḥaasibañ s̤umma laa- tajidoo lakum wakeelaa?

Do you feel secure that He will not cause the land to swallow you up, or unleash upon you a storm of stones? Then you will find none to protect you.

Verse 17:69

اَمْ اَمِنْتُمْ اَنْ یُّعِیْدَكُمْ فِیْهِ تَارَةً اُخْرٰی فَیُرْسِلَ عَلَیْكُمْ قَاصِفًا مِّنَ الرِّیْحِ فَیُغْرِقَكُمْ بِمَا كَفَرْتُمْ ۙ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُوْا لَكُمْ عَلَیْنَا بِهٖ تَبِیْعًا ۟

ʹAm ʹamiñtum ʹañy yuʻeedakum feehi taaratan ʹukhraa fayursila ʻalaykum q̣aaṣifam minar reeḥi fayug̣riq̣akum̃ bimaa kafartum s̤umma laa- tajidoo lakum ʻalaynaa bihee tabeeʻaa?

Or do you feel secure that He will not send you back to sea once again, and send upon you a violent storm, drowning you for your denial? Then you will find none to avenge you against Us.

Verse 17:70

وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِیْۤ اٰدَمَ وَحَمَلْنٰهُمْ فِی الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ وَرَزَقْنٰهُمْ مِّنَ الطَّیِّبٰتِ وَفَضَّلْنٰهُمْ عَلٰی كَثِیْرٍ مِّمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا تَفْضِیْلًا ۟۠

Wa-laq̣ad karramnaa Baneee ʹAadama waḥamalnaahum fil barri walbaḥri wa-razaq̣naahum minaṭ ṭayyibaati wa-faḍḍalnaahum ʻalaa kas̤eerim mimman khalaq̣naa tafḍeelaa.

Indeed, We have dignified the children of Adam, carried them on land and sea, granted them good and lawful provisions, and privileged them far above many of Our creatures.

Verse 17:71

یَوْمَ نَدْعُوْا كُلَّ اُنَاسٍ بِاِمَامِهِمْ ۚ فَمَنْ اُوْتِیَ كِتٰبَهٗ بِیَمِیْنِهٖ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ یَقْرَءُوْنَ كِتٰبَهُمْ وَلَا یُظْلَمُوْنَ فَتِیْلًا ۟

Yawma nadʻoo kulla ʹunaasim biʹImaamihim: faman ʹootiya kitaabahoo biyameenihee faʹulaaaʹika yaq̣raʹoona kitaabahum wa-laa yuz̤̣lamoona fateelaa.

˹Beware of˺ the Day We will summon every people with their leader. So whoever will be given their record in their right hand will read it ˹happily˺ and will not be wronged ˹even by the width of˺ the thread of a date stone.

Verse 17:72

وَمَنْ كَانَ فِیْ هٰذِهٖۤ اَعْمٰی فَهُوَ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ اَعْمٰی وَاَضَلُّ سَبِیْلًا ۟

Wa-mañ kaana fee haaẓiheee ʹaʻmaa fahuwa fil ʹAakhirati ʹaʻmaa wa-ʹaḍallu Sabeelaa.

But whoever is blind ˹to the truth˺ in this ˹world˺ will be blind in the Hereafter, and ˹even˺ far more astray from the ˹Right˺ Way.

Verse 17:73

وَاِنْ كَادُوْا لَیَفْتِنُوْنَكَ عَنِ الَّذِیْۤ اَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلَیْكَ لِتَفْتَرِیَ عَلَیْنَا غَیْرَهٗ ۖۗ وَاِذًا لَّاتَّخَذُوْكَ خَلِیْلًا ۟

Wa-ʹiñ kaadoo layaftinoonaka ʻanil laẓeee ʹawḥaynaaa ʹilayka litaftariya ʻalaynaa g̣ayrah: wa-ʹiẓallat takhaẓooka khaleelaa!

They definitely ˹thought they˺ were about to lure you away from what We have revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺, hoping that you would attribute something else to Us falsely—and then they would have certainly taken you as a close friend.

Verse 17:74

وَلَوْلَاۤ اَنْ ثَبَّتْنٰكَ لَقَدْ كِدْتَّ تَرْكَنُ اِلَیْهِمْ شَیْـًٔا قَلِیْلًا ۟ۗۙ

Wa-lawlaaa ʹañ s̤abbatnaaka laq̣ad kitta tarkanu ʹilayhim shayʹañ q̣aleelaa.

Had We not made you steadfast, you probably would have inclined to them a little,

Verse 17:75

اِذًا لَّاَذَقْنٰكَ ضِعْفَ الْحَیٰوةِ وَضِعْفَ الْمَمَاتِ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُ لَكَ عَلَیْنَا نَصِیْرًا ۟

ʹIẓal laʹaẓaq̣naaka ḍiʻfal ḥayaati waḍiʻfal mamaati s̤umma laa- tajidu laka ʻalaynaa naṣeeraa!

and then We truly would have made you taste double ˹punishment˺ both in this life and after death, and you would have found no helper against Us.

Verse 17:76

وَاِنْ كَادُوْا لَیَسْتَفِزُّوْنَكَ مِنَ الْاَرْضِ لِیُخْرِجُوْكَ مِنْهَا وَاِذًا لَّا یَلْبَثُوْنَ خِلٰفَكَ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا ۟

Wa-ʹiñ kaadoo layastafizzoonaka minal ʹarḍi liyukhrijooka minhaa wa-ʹiẓal laa yalbas̤oona khilaafaka ʹillaa q̣aleelaa.

They were about to intimidate you to drive you out of the land ˹of Mecca˺, but then they would not have survived after you ˹had left˺ except for a little while.

Verse 17:94

وَمَا مَنَعَ النَّاسَ اَنْ یُّؤْمِنُوْۤا اِذْ جَآءَهُمُ الْهُدٰۤی اِلَّاۤ اَنْ قَالُوْۤا اَبَعَثَ اللّٰهُ بَشَرًا رَّسُوْلًا ۟

قُلْ لَّوْ كَانَ فِی الْاَرْضِ مَلٰٓىِٕكَةٌ یَّمْشُوْنَ مُطْمَىِٕنِّیْنَ لَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَیْهِمْ مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ مَلَكًا رَّسُوْلًا ۟

Whoever Allah guides is truly guided. And whoever He leaves to stray, you will find no guardians for them besides Him. And We will drag them on their faces on the Day of Judgment—deaf, dumb, and blind. Hell will be their home. Whenever it dies down, We will flare it up for them.

Verse 17:98

ذٰلِكَ جَزَآؤُهُمْ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَقَالُوْۤا ءَاِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا وَّرُفَاتًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَبْعُوْثُوْنَ خَلْقًا جَدِیْدًا ۟

That is their reward for rejecting Our signs and asking ˹mockingly˺, “When we are reduced to bones and ashes, will we really be raised as a new creation?”

Verse 17:99

اَوَلَمْ یَرَوْا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ قَادِرٌ عَلٰۤی اَنْ یَّخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَهُمْ اَجَلًا لَّا رَیْبَ فِیْهِ ؕ فَاَبَی الظّٰلِمُوْنَ اِلَّا كُفُوْرًا ۟

Have they not realized that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth, can ˹easily˺ re-create them? He has ˹already˺ set for them a time, about which there is no doubt. But the wrongdoers persist in denial.

Verse 17:100

قُلْ لَّوْ اَنْتُمْ تَمْلِكُوْنَ خَزَآىِٕنَ رَحْمَةِ رَبِّیْۤ اِذًا لَّاَمْسَكْتُمْ خَشْیَةَ الْاِنْفَاقِ ؕ وَكَانَ الْاِنْسَانُ قَتُوْرًا ۟۠

Say ˹to them, O Prophet˺, “Even if you were to possess the ˹infinite˺ treasuries of my Lord’s mercy, then you would certainly withhold ˹them˺, fearing they would run out—for humankind is ever stingy!”

Verse 17:101

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَیْنَا مُوْسٰی تِسْعَ اٰیٰتٍ بَیِّنٰتٍ فَسْـَٔلْ بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ اِذْ جَآءَهُمْ فَقَالَ لَهٗ فِرْعَوْنُ اِنِّیْ لَاَظُنُّكَ یٰمُوْسٰی مَسْحُوْرًا ۟

We surely gave Moses nine clear signs. ˹You, O Prophet, can˺ ask the Children of Israel. When Moses came to them, Pharaoh said to him, “I really think that you, O Moses, are bewitched.”

Verse 17:102

قَالَ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَاۤ اَنْزَلَ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ اِلَّا رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ بَصَآىِٕرَ ۚ وَاِنِّیْ لَاَظُنُّكَ یٰفِرْعَوْنُ مَثْبُوْرًا ۟

Moses replied, “You know well that none has sent these ˹signs˺ down except the Lord of the heavens and the earth as insights. And I really think that you, O Pharaoh, are doomed.”

Verse 17:103

فَاَرَادَ اَنْ یَّسْتَفِزَّهُمْ مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ فَاَغْرَقْنٰهُ وَمَنْ مَّعَهٗ جَمِیْعًا ۟ۙ

Faʹaraada ʹañy yastafizzahum minal ʹarḍi faʹag̣raq̣naahu wa-mam maʻahoo jameeʻaa.

So Pharaoh wanted to scare the Israelites out of the land ˹of Egypt˺, but We drowned him and all of those with him.

Verse 17:104

وَّقُلْنَا مِنْ بَعْدِهٖ لِبَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ اسْكُنُوا الْاَرْضَ فَاِذَا جَآءَ وَعْدُ الْاٰخِرَةِ جِئْنَا بِكُمْ لَفِیْفًا ۟ؕ

And We said to the Children of Israel after Pharaoh, “Reside in the land, but when the promise of the Hereafter comes to pass, We will bring you all together.”

Verse 17:105

وَبِالْحَقِّ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ وَبِالْحَقِّ نَزَلَ ؕ وَمَاۤ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ اِلَّا مُبَشِّرًا وَّنَذِیْرًا ۟ۘ

Wa-bil-Ḥaq̣q̣i ʹañzalnaahu wa-bil-Ḥaq̣q̣i nazal: wa-maaa ʹarsalnaaka ʹillaa Mubashshirañw Wa-Naẓeeraa.

We have sent down the Quran in truth, and with the truth it has come down. We have sent you ˹O Prophet˺ only as a deliverer of good news and a warner.

Verse 17:106

وَقُرْاٰنًا فَرَقْنٰهُ لِتَقْرَاَهٗ عَلَی النَّاسِ عَلٰی مُكْثٍ وَّنَزَّلْنٰهُ تَنْزِیْلًا ۟

Wa-Q̣urʹaanañ faraq̣naahu litaq̣raʹahoo ʻalan naasi ʻalaa muks̤iñw wanazzalnaahu tañzeelaa.

˹It is˺ a Quran We have revealed in stages so that you may recite it to people at a deliberate pace. And We have sent it down in successive revelations.

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Believe in this ˹Quran˺, or do not. Indeed, when it is recited to those who were gifted with knowledge before it ˹was revealed˺, they fall upon their faces in prostration,

Verse 17:108

وَّیَقُوْلُوْنَ سُبْحٰنَ رَبِّنَاۤ اِنْ كَانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّنَا لَمَفْعُوْلًا ۟

Wa-yaq̣ooloona Subḥaana Rabbinaaa ʹiñ kaana waʻdu Rabbinaa lamafʻoolaa!

and say, ‘Glory be to our Lord! Surely the promise of our Lord has been fulfilled.’

Verse 17:109

وَیَخِرُّوْنَ لِلْاَذْقَانِ یَبْكُوْنَ وَیَزِیْدُهُمْ خُشُوْعًا ۟

Wa-yakhirroona lil-ʹaẓq̣aani yabkoona wa-yazeeduhum khushooʻaa.

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Call upon Allah or call upon the Most Compassionate—whichever you call, He has the Most Beautiful Names.” Do not recite your prayers too loudly or silently, but seek a way between.

Verse 17:111

وَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِیْ لَمْ یَتَّخِذْ وَلَدًا وَّلَمْ یَكُنْ لَّهٗ شَرِیْكٌ فِی الْمُلْكِ وَلَمْ یَكُنْ لَّهٗ وَلِیٌّ مِّنَ الذُّلِّ وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِیْرًا ۟۠

Wa-q̣ulil Ḥamdu lillaahil laẓee lam yattakhiẓ waladañw walam yakul lahoo shareekuñ fil mulki wa-lam yakul lahoo waliyyum minaẓ ẓulli wa-kabbirhu takbeeraa.

And say, “All praise is for Allah, Who has never had ˹any˺ offspring; nor does He have a partner in ˹governing˺ the kingdom; nor is He pathetic, needing a protector. And revere Him immensely.”
