Glory to the One who took His servant [for a journey] by night from the Haram Mosque [in Mecca] to the Aqsa Mosque [in Jerusalem]. We blessed those precincts in order that We might show him some of Our signs. He is the All-hearing, the All-seeing.

sub'ḥāna alladhī asrā biʿabdihi laylan mina l-masjidi l-ḥarāmi ilā l-masjidi l-aqṣā alladhī bāraknā ḥawlahu linuriyahu min āyātinā innahu huwa l-samīʿu l-baṣīr

وَءَاتَیۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ وَجَعَلۡنَـٰهُ هُدࣰى لِّبَنِیۤ إِسۡرَ ٰۤءِیلَ أَلَّا تَتَّخِذُوا۟ مِن دُونِی وَكِیلࣰا ۝٢

Linda "iLham" Barto

We gave Moses the Book [of Torah] and made it a guide to the Children of Israel: Do not take other than Me as disposer of affairs.

waātaynā mūsā l-kitāba wajaʿalnāhu hudan libanī is'rāīla allā tattakhidhū min dūnī wakīla

Linda "iLham" Barto

Descendants of those We delivered along with Noah, truly he was a most grateful servant.

dhurriyyata man ḥamalnā maʿa nūḥin innahu kāna ʿabdan shakūra

17:4

وَقَضَیۡنَاۤ إِلَىٰ بَنِیۤ إِسۡرَ ٰۤءِیلَ فِی ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ لَتُفۡسِدُنَّ فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مَرَّتَیۡنِ وَلَتَعۡلُنَّ عُلُوࣰّا كَبِیرࣰا ۝٤

Linda "iLham" Barto

We gave warning to the Children of Israel in the (Bible) that twice they would cause corruption upon the earth and be elated with mighty arrogance.

waqaḍaynā ilā banī is'rāīla fī l-kitābi latuf'sidunna fī l-arḍi marratayni walataʿlunna ʿuluwwan kabīra

17:5

فَإِذَا جَاۤءَ وَعۡدُ أُولَىٰهُمَا بَعَثۡنَا عَلَیۡكُمۡ عِبَادࣰا لَّنَاۤ أُو۟لِی بَأۡسࣲ شَدِیدࣲ فَجَاسُوا۟ خِلَـٰلَ ٱلدِّیَارِۚ وَكَانَ وَعۡدࣰا مَّفۡعُولࣰا ۝٥

Linda "iLham" Barto

When the first of the two predictions came to pass, We sent against you Our servants prone to terrible warfare. They entered the privacy of your homes, and it was a prophecy fulfilled.

fa-idhā jāa waʿdu ūlāhumā baʿathnā ʿalaykum ʿibādan lanā ulī basin shadīdin fajāsū khilāla l-diyāri wakāna waʿdan mafʿūla

17:6

ثُمَّ رَدَدۡنَا لَكُمُ ٱلۡكَرَّةَ عَلَیۡهِمۡ وَأَمۡدَدۡنَـٰكُم بِأَمۡوَ ٰلࣲ وَبَنِینَ وَجَعَلۡنَـٰكُمۡ أَكۡثَرَ نَفِیرًا ۝٦

Linda "iLham" Barto

We then granted you victory against them. We gave you increase in resources and children and made you more numerous.

thumma radadnā lakumu l-karata ʿalayhim wa-amdadnākum bi-amwālin wabanīna wajaʿalnākum akthara nafīra

17:7

إِنۡ أَحۡسَنتُمۡ أَحۡسَنتُمۡ لِأَنفُسِكُمۡۖ وَإِنۡ أَسَأۡتُمۡ فَلَهَاۚ فَإِذَا جَاۤءَ وَعۡدُ ٱلۡءَاخِرَةِ لِیَسُـࣳۤءُوا۟ وُجُوهَكُمۡ وَلِیَدۡخُلُوا۟ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةࣲ وَلِیُتَبِّرُوا۟ مَا عَلَوۡا۟ تَتۡبِیرًا ۝٧

Linda "iLham" Barto

If you did well, you did well for your own benefit. If you did evil, it was for your own demise. When the second prediction came to pass, (your enemies) disgraced you and entered the Temple as they had done before. They destroyed everything they touched.

in aḥsantum aḥsantum li-anfusikum wa-in asatum falahā fa-idhā jāa waʿdu l-ākhirati liyasūū wujūhakum waliyadkhulū l-masjida kamā dakhalūhu awwala marratin waliyutabbirū mā ʿalaw tatbīra

عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمۡ أَن یَرۡحَمَكُمۡۚ وَإِنۡ عُدتُّمۡ عُدۡنَاۘ وَجَعَلۡنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلۡكَـٰفِرِینَ حَصِیرًا ۝٨

Linda "iLham" Barto

It may be that your Lord may show mercy to you, but if you regress, We shall regress. We have made Hell a prison for unbelievers.

Linda "iLham" Barto

Humanity prays for evil just as he/she prays for good, and humanity is impatient.

wayadʿu l-insānu bil-shari duʿāahu bil-khayri wakāna l-insānu ʿajūla

17:12

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلَّیۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ ءَایَتَیۡنِۖ فَمَحَوۡنَاۤ ءَایَةَ ٱلَّیۡلِ وَجَعَلۡنَاۤ ءَایَةَ ٱلنَّهَارِ مُبۡصِرَةࣰ لِّتَبۡتَغُوا۟ فَضۡلࣰا مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ وَلِتَعۡلَمُوا۟ عَدَدَ ٱلسِّنِینَ وَٱلۡحِسَابَۚ وَكُلَّ شَیۡءࣲ فَصَّلۡنَـٰهُ تَفۡصِیلࣰا ۝١٢

Linda "iLham" Barto

We made the night and the day as two signs. We made the sign of night to mean ‘obscurity,’ and We made the sign of day to mean ‘enlightenment.’ Thus you may seek bounty from your Lord, as well as be knowledgeable of the number and calculation of the years. We have explained all things in detail.

wajaʿalnā al-layla wal-nahāra āyatayni famaḥawnā āyata al-layli wajaʿalnā āyata l-nahāri mub'ṣiratan litabtaghū faḍlan min rabbikum walitaʿlamū ʿadada l-sinīna wal-ḥisāba wakulla shayin faṣṣalnāhu tafṣīla

Linda "iLham" Barto

We have fastened every person’s fate around his/her own neck. On the Day of Judgment, We will bring him/her a scroll, and he/she will see it unrolled.

“Read your record! This day your own soul is sufficient to make an account against you.”

17:15

مَّنِ ٱهۡتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا یَهۡتَدِی لِنَفۡسِهِۦۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا یَضِلُّ عَلَیۡهَاۚ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةࣱ وِزۡرَ أُخۡرَىٰۗ وَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِینَ حَتَّىٰ نَبۡعَثَ رَسُولࣰا ۝١٥

Linda "iLham" Barto

Whoever accepts guidance receives it for his/her own benefit. Whoever goes astray does so at his/her own loss. No tote-bearer may carry the burden of another. We will not, however, manifest Our wrath until We have sent a messenger [to each society].

mani ih'tadā fa-innamā yahtadī linafsihi waman ḍalla fa-innamā yaḍillu ʿalayhā walā taziru wāziratun wiz'ra ukh'rā wamā kunnā muʿadhibīna ḥattā nabʿatha rasūla

Linda "iLham" Barto

When We decide to destroy a population, We send a definite order to those among them who are blessed but still sin so that the word is proven true against them. Then We completely destroy them.

Linda "iLham" Barto

How many generations have We destroyed since Noah? Your Lord is sufficient to take note and witness the sins of His servants.

17:18

Linda "iLham" Barto

As for whoever desires the temporal things, We readily grant things as We will to whom We will. In the end, We have provided Hell for him/her. He/she will burn, disgraced and rejected.

Linda "iLham" Barto

As for those who desire the hereafter and strive for it with a relevant struggle and have faith, they are the ones for whom the struggle is acceptable.

waman arāda l-ākhirata wasaʿā lahā saʿyahā wahuwa mu'minun fa-ulāika kāna saʿyuhum mashkūra

17:20

كُلࣰّا نُّمِدُّ هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ وَهَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ مِنۡ عَطَاۤءِ رَبِّكَۚ وَمَا كَانَ عَطَاۤءُ رَبِّكَ مَحۡظُورًا ۝٢٠

Linda "iLham" Barto

From the bounties of your Lord, We bestow freely on all –these as well as those. The bounties of your Lord are not restricted.

Linda "iLham" Barto

See how We have bestowed more on some than on others. Truly, the hereafter is greater in status and finer in excellence.

Linda "iLham" Barto

Do not accept with Allah another god, or you will sit disgraced and forsaken.

17:23

۞ وَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعۡبُدُوۤا۟ إِلَّاۤ إِیَّاهُ وَبِٱلۡوَ ٰلِدَیۡنِ إِحۡسَـٰنًاۚ إِمَّا یَبۡلُغَنَّ عِندَكَ ٱلۡكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَاۤ أَوۡ كِلَاهُمَا فَلَا تَقُل لَّهُمَاۤ أُفࣲّ وَلَا تَنۡهَرۡهُمَا وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوۡلࣰا كَرِیمࣰا ۝٢٣

Linda "iLham" Barto

Your Lord has decreed that you worship no one but Him and that you be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them live to attain old age, never say an unkind word to them. Do not reject them. Address them in terms of honor.

Linda "iLham" Barto

Out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility. Say, “My Lord, have mercy on them as they cherished me in childhood.”

wa-ikh'fiḍ lahumā janāḥa l-dhuli mina l-raḥmati waqul rabbi ir'ḥamhumā kamā rabbayānī ṣaghīra

Linda "iLham" Barto

Even if you have to reject them in pursuit of your Lord’s mercy, which you expect, speak to them words of tactful kindness.

Linda "iLham" Barto

Do not make yourself as if your hand were tied to your neck [unwilling to lend a helping hand], but also do not be so giving that you yourself become at fault and destitute.

17:30

وَلَا تَقۡتُلُوا۟ ٱلنَّفۡسَ ٱلَّتِی حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّۗ وَمَن قُتِلَ مَظۡلُومࣰا فَقَدۡ جَعَلۡنَا لِوَلِیِّهِۦ سُلۡطَـٰنࣰا فَلَا یُسۡرِف فِّی ٱلۡقَتۡلِۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مَنصُورࣰا ۝٣٣

Linda "iLham" Barto

Do not take life, which Allah has made sacred, except for reasons of justice. If anyone is wrongfully killed, We give his/her heirs authority [to demand equity or to forgive], but (an heir) should not exceed limitations in the matter of taking life, as the law already favors him/her.

Linda "iLham" Barto

Do not approach the orphan’s property, except to improve it [ie, invest it], until he/she attains legal age of adulthood. Fulfill every agreement, for each contract will be explored [on the Day of Judgment].

Linda "iLham" Barto

Do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge. Indeed, the hearing, the sight, and the heart will be questioned.

وَلَا تَمۡشِ فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مَرَحًاۖ إِنَّكَ لَن تَخۡرِقَ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَلَن تَبۡلُغَ ٱلۡجِبَالَ طُولࣰا ۝٣٧

Linda "iLham" Barto

Do not walk upon the earth with impertinence, because you cannot split the earth asunder or climb the highest mountain.

كُلُّ ذَ ٰلِكَ كَانَ سَیِّئُهُۥ عِندَ رَبِّكَ مَكۡرُوهࣰا ۝٣٨

Of all such things, sin is disgusting in the sight of your Lord.

Linda "iLham" Barto

These are among the wisdom your Lord has revealed to you. Do not accept, along with Allah, another object of worship. If you do, you will be driven to Hell, guilty and scorned.

Has your Lord preferred sons for you, and taken for Himself daughters from among the angels? Truly, you say something that is hideous!

We have given a variety of explanations in the Qur’an so that (the idolaters) may be advised, but only their rebellion increases.

The seven skies and Earth and all beings thereof declare His glory. There is nothing that does not celebrate His praises, but you do not understand such praise. Truly, He is Most Tolerant, Most Forgiving.

When you recite the Qur’an, We put, between you and those who deny the afterlife, an invisible veil.

We cover their hearts so they cannot understand (the Qur’an), and We block their ears. When you honor your Lord only, through the Qur’an, they turn their backs in aversion.

We know best why they listen when they listen to you and when they meet privately. The wicked say, “You believe in a man who is possessed!”

Even if you were material, that, in your minds, would be even more difficult!” They will then say, “Who will cause us to return?” Say, “He who first created you!” Then they will shake their heads at you and say, “When will that be?” Say, “Perhaps it will be quite soon.

Your Lord knows you best. If He pleases, He grants you mercy. If He pleases, He sends punishment. We have not sent you [Muhammed] as a guardian over them.

Linda "iLham" Barto

Those that they call upon strive to find the way to approach their Lord; that includes those who are nearest. They hope for His mercy and fear His wrath. Truly, the wrath of Your Lord is something to heed.

We refrain from sending signs only because people of former generations treated them as false. We sent a female camel to the Thamud as a visible sign, but they treated her sinfully. We only sent the signs as a warning.

Linda "iLham" Barto

We told you that your Lord truly surrounds these people. We granted the vision which We showed you only as a test for people. The tree cursed in the Qur’an also was [a test for whether the people would believe it]. We warned them, but each warning only led to greater sin.
