سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَسۡرَىٰ بِعَبۡدِهِۦ لَيۡلٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ إِلَى ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡأَقۡصَا ٱلَّذِي بَٰرَكۡنَا حَوۡلَهُۥ لِنُرِيَهُۥ مِنۡ ءَايَٰتِنَآۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡبَصِيرُ (1) وَءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ هُدٗى لِّبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ أَلَّا تَتَّخِذُواْ مِن دُونِي وَكِيلٗا (2) ذُرِّيَّةَ مَنۡ حَمَلۡنَا مَعَ نُوحٍۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَبۡدٗا شَكُورٗا (3) وَقَضَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَتُفۡسِدُنَّ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مَرَّتَيۡنِ وَلَتَعۡلُنَّ عُلُوّٗا كَبِيرٗا (4) فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعۡدُ أُولَىٰهُمَا بَعَثۡنَا عَلَيۡكُمۡ عِبَادٗا لَّنَآ أُوْلِي بَأۡسٖ شَدِيدٖ فَجَاسُواْ خِلَٰلَ ٱلدِّيَارِۚ وَكَانَ وَعۡدٗا مَّفۡعُولٗا (5) ثُمَّ رَدَدۡنَا لَكُمُ ٱلۡكَرَّةَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَأَمۡدَدۡنَٰكُم بِأَمۡوَٰلٖ وَبَنِينَ وَجَعَلۡنَٰكُمۡ أَكۡثَرَ نَفِيرًا (6) إِنۡ أَحۡسَنتُمۡ أَحۡسَنتُمۡ لِأَنفُسِكُمۡۖ وَإِنۡ أَسَأۡتُمۡ فَلَهَاۚ فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعۡدُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ لِيَسُـُٔواْ وُجُوهَكُمۡ وَلِيَدۡخُلُواْ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٖ وَلِيُتَبِّرُواْ مَا عَلَوۡاْ تَتۡبِيرًا (7) عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمۡ أَن يَرۡحَمَكُمۡۚ وَإِنۡ عُدتُّمۡ عُدۡنَاۚ وَجَعَلۡنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ حَصِيرًا (8) إِنَّ هَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ يَهۡدِي لِلَّتِي هِيَ أَقۡوَمُ وَيُبَشِّرُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ أَنَّ لَهُمۡ أَجۡرٗا كَبِيرٗا (9) وَأَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ أَعۡتَدۡنَا لَهُمۡ عَذَابًا أَلِيمٗا (10) وَيَدۡعُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ بِٱلشَّرِّ دُعَآءَهُۥ بِٱلۡخَيۡرِۖ وَكَانَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ عَجُولٗا (11) وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلَّيۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ ءَايَتَيۡنِۖ فَمَحَوۡنَآ ءَايَةَ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَجَعَلۡنَآ ءَايَةَ ٱلنَّهَارِ مُبۡصِرَةٗ لِّتَبۡتَغُواْ فَضۡلٗا مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ وَلِتَعۡلَمُواْ عَدَدَ ٱلسِّنِينَ وَٱلۡحِسَابَۚ وَكُلَّ شَيۡءٖ فَصَّلۡنَٰهُ تَفۡصِيلٗا (12) وَكُلَّ إِنسَٰنٍ أَلۡزَمۡنَٰهُ طَٰٓئِرَهُۥ فِي عُنُقِهِۦۖ وَنُخۡرِجُ لَهُۥ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ كِتَٰبٗا يَلۡقَىٰهُ مَنشُورًا (13) ٱقۡرَأۡ كِتَٰبَكَ كَفَىٰ بِنَفۡسِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ عَلَيۡكَ حَسِيبٗا (14) مَّنِ ٱهۡتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَهۡتَدِي لِنَفۡسِهِۦۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيۡهَاۚ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٞ وِزۡرَ أُخۡرَىٰۗ وَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِينَ حَتَّىٰ نَبۡعَثَ رَسُولٗا (15) وَإِذَآ أَرَدۡنَآ أَن نُّهۡلِكَ قَرۡيَةً أَمَرۡنَا مُتۡرَفِيهَا فَفَسَقُواْ فِيهَا فَحَقَّ عَلَيۡهَا ٱلۡقَوۡلُ فَدَمَّرۡنَٰهَا تَدۡمِيرٗا (16) وَكَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡقُرُونِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ نُوحٖۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِرَبِّكَ بِذُنُوبِ عِبَادِهِۦ خَبِيرَۢا بَصِيرٗا (17) مَّن كَانَ يُرِيدُ ٱلۡعَاجِلَةَ عَجَّلۡنَا لَهُۥ فِيهَا مَا نَشَآءُ لِمَن نُّرِيدُ ثُمَّ جَعَلۡنَا لَهُۥ جَهَنَّمَ يَصۡلَىٰهَا مَذۡمُومٗا مَّدۡحُورٗا (18) وَمَنۡ أَرَادَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ وَسَعَىٰ لَهَا سَعۡيَهَا وَهُوَ مُؤۡمِنٞ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ كَانَ سَعۡيُهُم مَّشۡكُورٗا (19) كُلّٗا نُّمِدُّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَهَٰٓؤُلَآءِ مِنۡ عَطَآءِ رَبِّكَۚ وَمَا كَانَ عَطَآءُ رَبِّكَ مَحۡظُورًا (20) ٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ فَضَّلۡنَا بَعۡضَهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖۚ وَلَلۡأٓخِرَةُ أَكۡبَرُ دَرَجَٰتٖ وَأَكۡبَرُ تَفۡضِيلٗا (21) لَّا تَجۡعَلۡ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَقۡعُدَ مَذۡمُومٗا مَّخۡذُولٗا (22) ۞وَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعۡبُدُوٓاْ إِلَّآ إِيَّاهُ وَبِٱلۡوَٰلِدَيۡنِ إِحۡسَٰنًاۚ إِمَّا يَبۡلُغَنَّ عِندَكَ ٱلۡكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَآ أَوۡ كِلَاهُمَا فَلَا تَقُل لَّهُمَآ أُفّٖ وَلَا تَنۡهَرۡهُمَا وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوۡلٗا كَرِيمٗا (23) وَٱخۡفِضۡ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ ٱلذُّلِّ مِنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَةِ وَقُل رَّبِّ ٱرۡحَمۡهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرٗا (24) رَّبُّكُمۡ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا فِي نُفُوسِكُمۡۚ إِن تَكُونُواْ صَٰلِحِينَ فَإِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِلۡأَوَّٰبِينَ غَفُورٗا (25) وَءَاتِ ذَا ٱلۡقُرۡبَىٰ حَقَّهُۥ وَٱلۡمِسۡكِينَ وَٱبۡنَ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَلَا تُبَذِّرۡ تَبۡذِيرًا (26) إِنَّ ٱلۡمُبَذِّرِينَ كَانُوٓاْ إِخۡوَٰنَ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِۖ وَكَانَ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ لِرَبِّهِۦ كَفُورٗا (27) وَإِمَّا تُعۡرِضَنَّ عَنۡهُمُ ٱبۡتِغَآءَ رَحۡمَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّكَ تَرۡجُوهَا فَقُل لَّهُمۡ قَوۡلٗا مَّيۡسُورٗا (28) وَلَا تَجۡعَلۡ يَدَكَ مَغۡلُولَةً إِلَىٰ عُنُقِكَ وَلَا تَبۡسُطۡهَا كُلَّ ٱلۡبَسۡطِ فَتَقۡعُدَ مَلُومٗا مَّحۡسُورًا (29) إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَبۡسُطُ ٱلرِّزۡقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَقۡدِرُۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِۦ خَبِيرَۢا بَصِيرٗا (30) وَلَا تَقۡتُلُوٓاْ أَوۡلَٰدَكُمۡ خَشۡيَةَ إِمۡلَٰقٖۖ نَّحۡنُ نَرۡزُقُهُمۡ وَإِيَّاكُمۡۚ إِنَّ قَتۡلَهُمۡ كَانَ خِطۡـٔٗا كَبِيرٗا (31) وَلَا تَقۡرَبُواْ ٱلزِّنَىٰٓۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فَٰحِشَةٗ وَسَآءَ سَبِيلٗا (32) وَلَا تَقۡتُلُواْ ٱلنَّفۡسَ ٱلَّتِي حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّۗ وَمَن قُتِلَ مَظۡلُومٗا فَقَدۡ جَعَلۡنَا لِوَلِيِّهِۦ سُلۡطَٰنٗا فَلَا يُسۡرِف فِّي ٱلۡقَتۡلِۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مَنصُورٗا (33) وَلَا تَقۡرَبُواْ مَالَ ٱلۡيَتِيمِ إِلَّا بِٱلَّتِي هِيَ أَحۡسَنُ حَتَّىٰ يَبۡلُغَ أَشُدَّهُۥۚ وَأَوۡفُواْ بِٱلۡعَهۡدِۖ إِنَّ ٱلۡعَهۡدَ كَانَ مَسۡـُٔولٗا (34) وَأَوۡفُواْ ٱلۡكَيۡلَ إِذَا كِلۡتُمۡ وَزِنُواْ بِٱلۡقِسۡطَاسِ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمِۚ ذَٰلِكَ خَيۡرٞ وَأَحۡسَنُ تَأۡوِيلٗا (35) وَلَا تَقۡفُ مَا لَيۡسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلۡمٌۚ إِنَّ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَٱلۡبَصَرَ وَٱلۡفُؤَادَ كُلُّ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ كَانَ عَنۡهُ مَسۡـُٔولٗا (36) وَلَا تَمۡشِ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مَرَحًاۖ إِنَّكَ لَن تَخۡرِقَ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَلَن تَبۡلُغَ ٱلۡجِبَالَ طُولٗا (37) كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ كَانَ سَيِّئُهُۥ عِندَ رَبِّكَ مَكۡرُوهٗا (38) ذَٰلِكَ مِمَّآ أَوۡحَىٰٓ إِلَيۡكَ رَبُّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡحِكۡمَةِۗ وَلَا تَجۡعَلۡ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتُلۡقَىٰ فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَلُومٗا مَّدۡحُورًا (39) أَفَأَصۡفَىٰكُمۡ رَبُّكُم بِٱلۡبَنِينَ وَٱتَّخَذَ مِنَ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِنَٰثًاۚ إِنَّكُمۡ لَتَقُولُونَ قَوۡلًا عَظِيمٗا (40) وَلَقَدۡ صَرَّفۡنَا فِي هَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ لِيَذَّكَّرُواْ وَمَا يَزِيدُهُمۡ إِلَّا نُفُورٗا (41) قُل لَّوۡ كَانَ مَعَهُۥٓ ءَالِهَةٞ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ إِذٗا لَّٱبۡتَغَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِي ٱلۡعَرۡشِ سَبِيلٗا (42) سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ عُلُوّٗا كَبِيرٗا (43) تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ ٱلسَّبۡعُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّۚ وَإِن مِّن شَيۡءٍ إِلَّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمۡدِهِۦ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تَفۡقَهُونَ تَسۡبِيحَهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورٗا (44) وَإِذَا قَرَأۡتَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ جَعَلۡنَا بَيۡنَكَ وَبَيۡنَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ حِجَابٗا مَّسۡتُورٗا (45) وَجَعَلۡنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمۡ أَكِنَّةً أَن يَفۡقَهُوهُ وَفِيٓ ءَاذَانِهِمۡ وَقۡرٗاۚ وَإِذَا ذَكَرۡتَ رَبَّكَ فِي ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ وَحۡدَهُۥ وَلَّوۡاْ عَلَىٰٓ أَدۡبَٰرِهِمۡ نُفُورٗا (46) نَّحۡنُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَسۡتَمِعُونَ بِهِۦٓ إِذۡ يَسۡتَمِعُونَ إِلَيۡكَ وَإِذۡ هُمۡ نَجۡوَىٰٓ إِذۡ يَقُولُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا رَجُلٗا مَّسۡحُورًا (47) ٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ ضَرَبُواْ لَكَ ٱلۡأَمۡثَالَ فَضَلُّواْ فَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ سَبِيلٗا (48) وَقَالُوٓاْ أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمٗا وَرُفَٰتًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ خَلۡقٗا جَدِيدٗا (49) ۞قُلۡ كُونُواْ حِجَارَةً أَوۡ حَدِيدًا (50) أَوۡ خَلۡقٗا مِّمَّا يَكۡبُرُ فِي صُدُورِكُمۡۚ فَسَيَقُولُونَ مَن يُعِيدُنَاۖ قُلِ ٱلَّذِي فَطَرَكُمۡ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٖۚ فَسَيُنۡغِضُونَ إِلَيۡكَ رُءُوسَهُمۡ وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هُوَۖ قُلۡ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ قَرِيبٗا (51) يَوۡمَ يَدۡعُوكُمۡ فَتَسۡتَجِيبُونَ بِحَمۡدِهِۦ وَتَظُنُّونَ إِن لَّبِثۡتُمۡ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗا (52) وَقُل لِّعِبَادِي يَقُولُواْ ٱلَّتِي هِيَ أَحۡسَنُۚ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَ يَنزَغُ بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَ كَانَ لِلۡإِنسَٰنِ عَدُوّٗا مُّبِينٗا (53) رَّبُّكُمۡ أَعۡلَمُ بِكُمۡۖ إِن يَشَأۡ يَرۡحَمۡكُمۡ أَوۡ إِن يَشَأۡ يُعَذِّبۡكُمۡۚ وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَٰكَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَكِيلٗا (54) وَرَبُّكَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَلَقَدۡ فَضَّلۡنَا بَعۡضَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖۖ وَءَاتَيۡنَا دَاوُۥدَ زَبُورٗا (55) قُلِ ٱدۡعُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ زَعَمۡتُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ فَلَا يَمۡلِكُونَ كَشۡفَ ٱلضُّرِّ عَنكُمۡ وَلَا تَحۡوِيلًا (56) أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدۡعُونَ يَبۡتَغُونَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمُ ٱلۡوَسِيلَةَ أَيُّهُمۡ أَقۡرَبُ وَيَرۡجُونَ رَحۡمَتَهُۥ وَيَخَافُونَ عَذَابَهُۥٓۚ إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ كَانَ مَحۡذُورٗا (57) وَإِن مِّن قَرۡيَةٍ إِلَّا نَحۡنُ مُهۡلِكُوهَا قَبۡلَ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ أَوۡ مُعَذِّبُوهَا عَذَابٗا شَدِيدٗاۚ كَانَ ذَٰلِكَ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ مَسۡطُورٗا (58) وَمَا مَنَعَنَآ أَن نُّرۡسِلَ بِٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ إِلَّآ أَن كَذَّبَ بِهَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَۚ وَءَاتَيۡنَا ثَمُودَ ٱلنَّاقَةَ مُبۡصِرَةٗ فَظَلَمُواْ بِهَاۚ وَمَا نُرۡسِلُ بِٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ إِلَّا تَخۡوِيفٗا (59) وَإِذۡ قُلۡنَا لَكَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ أَحَاطَ بِٱلنَّاسِۚ وَمَا جَعَلۡنَا ٱلرُّءۡيَا ٱلَّتِيٓ أَرَيۡنَٰكَ إِلَّا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلنَّاسِ وَٱلشَّجَرَةَ ٱلۡمَلۡعُونَةَ فِي ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِۚ وَنُخَوِّفُهُمۡ فَمَا يَزِيدُهُمۡ إِلَّا طُغۡيَٰنٗا كَبِيرٗا (60) وَإِذۡ قُلۡنَا لِلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسۡجُدُواْ لِأٓدَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓاْ إِلَّآ إِبۡلِيسَ قَالَ ءَأَسۡجُدُ لِمَنۡ خَلَقۡتَ طِينٗا (61) قَالَ أَرَءَيۡتَكَ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي كَرَّمۡتَ عَلَيَّ لَئِنۡ أَخَّرۡتَنِ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ لَأَحۡتَنِكَنَّ ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥٓ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗا (62) قَالَ ٱذۡهَبۡ فَمَن تَبِعَكَ مِنۡهُمۡ فَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ جَزَآؤُكُمۡ جَزَآءٗ مَّوۡفُورٗا (63) وَٱسۡتَفۡزِزۡ مَنِ ٱسۡتَطَعۡتَ مِنۡهُم بِصَوۡتِكَ وَأَجۡلِبۡ عَلَيۡهِم بِخَيۡلِكَ وَرَجِلِكَ وَشَارِكۡهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَمۡوَٰلِ وَٱلۡأَوۡلَٰدِ وَعِدۡهُمۡۚ وَمَا يَعِدُهُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ إِلَّا غُرُورًا (64) إِنَّ عِبَادِي لَيۡسَ لَكَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٞۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِرَبِّكَ وَكِيلٗا (65) رَّبُّكُمُ ٱلَّذِي يُزۡجِي لَكُمُ ٱلۡفُلۡكَ فِي ٱلۡبَحۡرِ لِتَبۡتَغُواْ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ بِكُمۡ رَحِيمٗا (66) وَإِذَا مَسَّكُمُ ٱلضُّرُّ فِي ٱلۡبَحۡرِ ضَلَّ مَن تَدۡعُونَ إِلَّآ إِيَّاهُۖ فَلَمَّا نَجَّىٰكُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡبَرِّ أَعۡرَضۡتُمۡۚ وَكَانَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ كَفُورًا (67) أَفَأَمِنتُمۡ أَن يَخۡسِفَ بِكُمۡ جَانِبَ ٱلۡبَرِّ أَوۡ يُرۡسِلَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ حَاصِبٗا ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُواْ لَكُمۡ وَكِيلًا (68) أَمۡ أَمِنتُمۡ أَن يُعِيدَكُمۡ فِيهِ تَارَةً أُخۡرَىٰ فَيُرۡسِلَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ قَاصِفٗا مِّنَ ٱلرِّيحِ فَيُغۡرِقَكُم بِمَا كَفَرۡتُمۡ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُواْ لَكُمۡ عَلَيۡنَا بِهِۦ تَبِيعٗا (69) ۞وَلَقَدۡ كَرَّمۡنَا بَنِيٓ ءَادَمَ وَحَمَلۡنَٰهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡبَرِّ وَٱلۡبَحۡرِ وَرَزَقۡنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ وَفَضَّلۡنَٰهُمۡ عَلَىٰ كَثِيرٖ مِّمَّنۡ خَلَقۡنَا تَفۡضِيلٗا (70) يَوۡمَ نَدۡعُواْ كُلَّ أُنَاسِۭ بِإِمَٰمِهِمۡۖ فَمَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يَقۡرَءُونَ كِتَٰبَهُمۡ وَلَا يُظۡلَمُونَ فَتِيلٗا (71) وَمَن كَانَ فِي هَٰذِهِۦٓ أَعۡمَىٰ فَهُوَ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ أَعۡمَىٰ وَأَضَلُّ سَبِيلٗا (72) وَإِن كَادُواْ لَيَفۡتِنُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ لِتَفۡتَرِيَ عَلَيۡنَا غَيۡرَهُۥۖ وَإِذٗا لَّٱتَّخَذُوكَ خَلِيلٗا (73) وَلَوۡلَآ أَن ثَبَّتۡنَٰكَ لَقَدۡ كِدتَّ تَرۡكَنُ إِلَيۡهِمۡ شَيۡـٔٗا قَلِيلًا (74) إِذٗا لَّأَذَقۡنَٰكَ ضِعۡفَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ وَضِعۡفَ ٱلۡمَمَاتِ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُ لَكَ عَلَيۡنَا نَصِيرٗا (75) وَإِن كَادُواْ لَيَسۡتَفِزُّونَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ لِيُخۡرِجُوكَ مِنۡهَاۖ وَإِذٗا لَّا يَلۡبَثُونَ

English Translation
Chapter 17 surah Al-Isra - the Night Journey
In the name of God,
the Gracious, the Merciful.
1. Glory to Him who journeyed His
servant by night, from the Sacred Mosque, to the Farthest Mosque, whose
precincts We have blessed, in order to show him of Our wonders. He is the
Listener, the Beholder.
2. And We gave Moses the Scripture, and
made it a guide for the Children of Israel: Take none for protector other than
Me.
3. The descendants of those We carried with Noah. He was an
appreciative servant.
4. And We conveyed to the Children of Israel
in the Scripture: You will commit evil on earth twice, and you will rise to a
great height.
5. When the first of the two promises came true, We
sent against you servants of Ours, possessing great might, and they ransacked
your homes. It was a promise fulfilled.
6. Then We gave you back
your turn against them, and supplied you with wealth and children, and made
you more numerous.
7. If you work righteousness, you work
righteousness for yourselves; and if you commit evil, you do so against
yourselves. Then, when the second promise comes true, they will make your
faces filled with sorrow, and enter the Temple as they entered it the first
time, and utterly destroy all that falls into their power.
8.
Perhaps your Lord will have mercy on you. But if you revert, We will revert.
We have made Hell a prison for the disbelievers.
9. This Quran
guides to what is most upright; and it gives good news to the believers who do
good deeds, that they will have a great reward.
10. And those who
do not believe in the Hereafter—We have prepared for them a painful
punishment.
11. The human being prays for evil as he prays for
good. The human being is very hasty.
12. We have made the night and
the day two wonders. We erased the wonder of the night, and made the wonder of
the day revealing, that you may seek bounty from your Lord, and know the
number of years, and the calculation. We have explained all things in
detail.
13. For every person We have attached his fate to his neck.
And on the Day of Resurrection, We will bring out for him a book which he will
find spread open.
14. “Read your book; today there will be none but
yourself to call you to account.”
15. Whoever is guided—is guided
for his own good. And whoever goes astray—goes astray to his detriment. No
burdened soul carries the burdens of another, nor do We ever punish until We
have sent a messenger.
16. When We decide to destroy a town, We
command its affluent ones, they transgress in it, so the word becomes
justified against it, and We destroy it completely.
17. How many
generations have We destroyed after Noah? Your Lord is sufficient as Knower
and Beholder of the sins of his servants.
18. Whoever desires the
fleeting life, We expedite for him what We decide to give him, to whomever We
desire. Then We consign him to Hell, where he will roast, condemned and
defeated.
19. But whoever desires the Hereafter, and pursues it as
it should be pursued, while he is a believer; these—their effort will be
appreciated.
20. To all—these and those—We extend from the gifts of
your Lord. The gifts of your Lord are not restricted.
21. See how
We have favored some of them over others; yet the Hereafter is greater in
ranks, and greater in favors.
22. Do not set up another god with
God, lest you become condemned and damned.
23. Your Lord has
commanded that you worship none but Him, and that you be good to your parents.
If either of them or both of them reach old age with you, do not say to them a
word of disrespect, nor scold them, but say to them kind words.
24.
And 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 a child.”
25. Your Lord
knows best what is in your minds. If you are righteous—He is Forgiving to the
obedient.
26. And give the relative his rights, and the poor, and
the wayfarer, and do not squander wastefully.
27. The extravagant
are brethren of the devils, and the devil is ever ungrateful to his Lord.
28.
But if you turn away from them, seeking mercy from your Lord which you hope
for, then say to them words of comfort.
29. And do not keep your
hand tied to your neck, nor spread it out fully, lest you end up liable and
regretful.
30. Your Lord expands the provision for whomever He
wills, and restricts it. He is fully Informed, Observant of His servants.
31.
And do not kill your children for fear of poverty. We provide for them, and
for you. Killing them is a grave sin.
32. And do not come near
adultery. It is immoral, and an evil way.
33. And do not kill the
soul which God has made sacred, except in the course of justice. If someone is
killed unjustly, We have given his next of kin certain authority. But he
should not be excessive in killing, for he will be supported.
34.
And do not go near the orphan’s property, except with the best of intentions,
until he has reached his maturity. And honor your pledge, because the pledge
involves responsibility.
35. And give full measure when you
measure, and weigh with accurate scales. That is fair, and the best
determination.
36. And do not occupy yourself with what you have no
knowledge of. The hearing, and the sight, and the brains—all these will be
questioned.
37. And do not walk proudly on earth. You can neither
pierce the earth, nor can you match the mountains in height.
38.
The evil of all these is disliked by your Lord.
39. That is some of
the wisdom your Lord has revealed to you. Do not set up with God another god,
or else you will be thrown in Hell, rebuked and banished.
40. Has
your Lord favored you with sons, while choosing for Himself daughters from
among the angels? You are indeed saying a terrible thing.
41. We
have explained in this Quran in various ways, that they may remember, but it
only adds to their rebellion.
42. Say, “If there were other gods
with Him, as they say, they would have sought a way to the Lord of the
Throne.”
43. Be He glorified. He is exalted, far above what they
say.
44. Praising Him are the seven heavens, and the earth, and
everyone in them. There is not a thing that does not glorify Him with praise,
but you do not understand their praises. He is indeed Forbearing and
Forgiving.
45. When you read the Quran, We place between you and
those who do not believe in the Hereafter an invisible barrier.
46.
And We drape veils over their hearts, preventing them from understanding it,
and heaviness in their ears. And when you mention your Lord alone in the
Quran, they turn their backs in aversion.
47. We know well what
they listen to, when they listen to you, as they conspire, when the wrongdoers
say, “You only follow a man bewitched.”
48. Note what they compared
you to. They are lost, and unable to find a way.
49. And they say,
“When we have become bones and fragments, shall we really be resurrected as a
new creation?”
50. Say, “Even if you become rocks or iron.
51.
Or some substance, which, in your minds, is even harder.” Then they will say,
“Who will restore us?” Say, “The One who originated you the first time.” Then
they will nod their heads at you, and say, “When will it be?” Say, “Perhaps it
will be soon.”
52. On the Day when He calls you, you will respond
with His praise, and you will realize that you stayed only a little.
53.
Tell My servants to say what is best. Satan sows discord among them. Satan is
to man an open enemy.
54. Your Lord knows you best. If He wills, He
will have mercy on you; and if He wills, He will punish you. We did not send
you as their advocate.
55. Your Lord knows well everyone in the
heavens and the earth. We have given some prophets advantage over others; and
to David We gave the Psalms.
56. Say, “Call upon those you claim
besides Him. They have no power to relieve your adversity, nor can they change
it.”
57. Those they call upon are themselves seeking means of
access to their Lord, vying to be nearer, and hoping for His mercy, and
fearing His punishment. The punishment of your Lord is to be dreaded.
58.
There is no city but We will destroy before the Day of Resurrection, or punish
it with a severe punishment. This is inscribed in the Book.
59.
Nothing prevents Us from sending miraculous signs, except that the ancients
called them lies. We gave Thamood the she-camel, a visible sign, but they
mistreated her. We do not send the signs except to instill reverence.
60.
We said to you that your Lord encompasses humanity. We did not make the vision
We showed you, except as a test for the people, and the tree cursed in the
Quran. We frighten them, but that only increases their defiance.
61.
When We said to the angels, “Bow down before Adam,” they bowed down, except
for Satan. He said, “Shall I bow down before someone You created from mud?”
62.
He said, “Do You see this one whom You have honored more than me? If You
reprieve me until the Day of Resurrection, I will bring his descendants under
my sway, except for a few.”
63. He said, “Begone! Whoever of them
follows you—Hell is your reward, an ample reward.”
64. “And entice
whomever of them you can with your voice, and rally against them your cavalry
and your infantry, and share with them in wealth and children, and make
promises to them.” But Satan promises them nothing but delusion.
65.
“As for My devotees, you have no authority over them.” Your Lord is an
adequate Guardian.
66. Your Lord is He who propels for you the
ships at sea, that you may seek of His bounty. He is towards you Most
Merciful.
67. When harm afflicts you at sea, those you pray to
vanish, except for Him. But when He saves you to land, you turn away. The
human being is ever thankless.
68. Are you confident that He will
not cause a track of land to cave in beneath you, or unleash a tornado against
you, and then you find no protector?
69. Or are you confident that
He will not return you to it once again, and unleash a hurricane against you,
and drown you for your ingratitude? Then you will find no helper against
Us.
70. We have honored the Children of Adam, and carried them on
land and sea, and provided them with good things, and greatly favored them
over many of those We created.
71. On the Day when We call every
people with their leader. Whoever is given his record in his right hand—these
will read their record, and they will not be wronged one bit.
72.
But whoever is blind in this, he will be blind in the Hereafter, and further
astray from the way.
73. They almost lured you away from what We
have revealed to you, so that you would invent something else in Our name. In
that case, they would have taken you for a friend.
74. Had We not
given you stability, you might have inclined towards them a little.
75.
Then We would have made you taste double in life, and double at death; then
you would have found for yourself no helper against Us.
76. They
almost provoked you, to expel you from the land. In that case, they would not
have lasted after you, except briefly.
77. The tradition of the
messengers We sent before you—you will find no change in Our rules.
78.
Perform the prayer at the decline of the sun, until the darkness of the night;
and the Quran at dawn. The Quran at dawn is witnessed.
79. And keep
vigil with it during parts of the night, as an extra prayer. Perhaps your Lord
will raise you to a laudable position.
80. And say, “My Lord, lead
me in through an entry of truth, and lead me out through an exit of truth, and
grant me from You a supporting power.”
81. And say, “The truth has
come, and falsehood has withered away; for falsehood is bound to wither
away.”
82. We send down in the Quran healing and mercy for the
believers, but it increases the wrongdoers only in loss.
83. When
We bless the human being, he turns away and distances himself. But when
adversity touches him, he is in despair.
84. Say, “Each does
according to his disposition. Your Lord knows best who is better guided in the
way.”
85. And they ask you about the Spirit. Say, “The Spirit
belongs to the domain of my Lord; and you were given only little
knowledge.”
86. If We willed, We could take away what We revealed
to you. Then you will find for yourself no protecting guardian against Us.
87.
Except through a mercy from your Lord. His favors upon you have been great.
88.
Say, “If mankind and jinn came together to produce the like of this Quran,
they could never produce the like of it, even if they backed up one
another.”
89. We have displayed for mankind in this Quran every
kind of similitude, but most people insist on denying the truth.
90.
And they said, “We will not believe in you unless you make a spring burst from
the ground for us.
91. Or you have a garden of palms and vines;
then cause rivers to gush pouring through them.
92. Or make the sky
fall on us in pieces, as you claim, or bring God and the angels before us.
93.
Or you possess a house of gold. Or you ascend into the sky. Even then, we will
not believe in your ascension, unless you bring down for us a book that we can
read.” Say, “Glory be to my Lord. Am I anything but a human messenger?”
94.
Nothing prevented the people from believing, when guidance has come to them,
except that they said, “Did God send a human messenger?”
95. Say,
“If there were angels on earth, walking around in peace, We would have sent
down to them from heaven an angel messenger.”
96. Say, “God is
enough witness between you and me. He is fully aware of His servants, and He
sees them well.”
97. Whomever God guides is the guided one. And
whomever He leaves astray—for them you will find no protectors apart from Him.
And We will gather them on the Day of Resurrection, on their faces, blind,
dumb, and deaf. Their abode is Hell; whenever it abates, We intensify the
blaze for them.
98. This is their repayment for having blasphemed
against Our revelations, and having said, “Shall we, when we have become bones
and fragments, be resurrected as a new creation?”
99. Do they not
consider that God, Who created the heavens and the earth, is Able to create
the likes of them? He has assigned for them a term, in which there is no
doubt. But the wrongdoers persist in denying the truth.
100. Say,
“If you possessed the treasuries of my Lord’s mercy, you would have withheld
them for fear of spending.” The human being has always been stingy.
101.
We gave Moses nine clear signs—ask the Children of Israel. When he went to
them, Pharaoh said to him, “I think that you, Moses, are bewitched.”
102.
He said, “You know that none sent these down except the Lord of the heavens
and the earth—eye openers; and I think that you, Pharaoh, are doomed.”
103.
He resolved to scare them off the land, but We drowned him, and those with
him, altogether.
104. After him, We said to the Children of Israel,
“Inhabit the land, and when the promise of the Hereafter arrives, We will
bring you all together.”
105. With the truth We sent it down, and
with the truth it descended. We sent you only as a bearer of good news and a
warner.
106. A Quran which We unfolded gradually, that you may
recite to the people over time. And We revealed it in stages.
107.
Say, “Believe in it, or do not believe.” Those who were given knowledge before
it, when it is recited to them, they fall to their chins, prostrating.
108.
And they say, “Glory to our Lord. The promise of our Lord is fulfilled.”
109.
And they fall to their chins, weeping, and it adds to their humility.
110.
Say, “Call Him God, or call Him the Most Merciful. Whichever name you use, to
Him belong the Best Names.” And be neither loud in your prayer, nor silent in
it, but follow a course in between.
111. And say, “Praise be to
God, who has not begotten a son, nor has He a partner in sovereignty, nor has
He an ally out of weakness, and glorify Him constantly.”[]
