Surat Al-'Isrā'

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

17:1 to top Sahih InternationalExalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al- Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 17:2 to top Sahih InternationalAnd We gave Moses the Scripture and made it a guidance for the Children of Israel that you not take other than Me as Disposer of affairs, 17:3 to top Sahih InternationalO descendants of those We carried [in the ship] with Noah. Indeed, he was a grateful servant. 17:4 to top Sahih InternationalAnd We conveyed to the Children of Israel in the Scripture that, "You will surely cause corruption on the earth twice, and you will surely reach [a degree of] great haughtiness. 17:5 to top Sahih InternationalSo when the [time of] promise came for the first of them, We sent against you servants of Ours - those of great military might, and they probed [even] into the homes, and it was a promise fulfilled. 17:6 to top Sahih InternationalThen We gave back to you a return victory over them. And We reinforced you with wealth and sons and made you more numerous in manpower 17:7 to top Sahih International[And said], "If you do good, you do good for yourselves; and if you do evil, [you do it] to yourselves." Then when the final promise came, [We sent your enemies] to sadden your faces and to enter the temple in Jerusalem, as they entered it the first time, and to destroy what they had taken over with [total] destruction. 17:8 to top Sahih International[Then Allah said], "It is expected, [if you repent], that your Lord will have mercy upon you. But if you return [to sin], We will return [to punishment]. And We have made Hell, for the disbelievers, a prison-bed." 17:9 to top Sahih InternationalIndeed, this Qur'an guides to that which is most suitable and gives good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a great reward. 17:10 to top Sahih InternationalAnd that those who do not believe in the Hereafter - We have prepared for them a painful punishment. 17:11 to top Sahih InternationalAnd man supplicates for evil as he supplicates for good, and man is ever hasty. 17:12 to top Sahih InternationalAnd We have made the night and day two signs, and We erased the sign of the night and made the sign of the day visible that you may seek bounty from your Lord and may know the number of years and the account [of time]. And everything We have set out in detail. 17:13 to top Sahih InternationalAnd [for] every person We have imposed his fate upon his neck, and We will produce for him on the Day of Resurrection a record which he will encounter spread open. 17:14 to top Sahih International[It will be said], "Read your record. Sufficient is yourself against you this Day as accountant." 17:15 to top Sahih InternationalWhoever is guided is only guided for [the benefit of] his soul. And whoever errs only errs against it. And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. And never would We punish until We sent a messenger. 17:16 to top Sahih InternationalAnd when We intend to destroy a city, We command its affluent but they defiantly disobey therein; so the word comes into effect upon it, and We destroy it with [complete] destruction. 17:17 to top Sahih InternationalAnd how many have We destroyed from the generations after Noah. And sufficient is your Lord, concerning the sins of His servants, as Acquainted and Seeing. 17:18 to top Sahih InternationalWhoever should desire the immediate - We hasten for him from it what We will to whom We intend. Then We have made for him Hell, which he will [enter to] burn, censured and banished. 17:19 to top Sahih InternationalBut whoever desires the Hereafter and exerts the effort due to it while he is a believer - it is those whose effort is ever appreciated [by Allah ]. 17:20 to top Sahih InternationalTo each [category] We extend - to these and to those - from the gift of your Lord. And never has the gift of your Lord been restricted. 17:21 to top Sahih InternationalLook how We have favored [in provision] some of them over others. But the Hereafter is greater in degrees [of difference] and greater in distinction. 17:22 to top Sahih InternationalDo not make [as equal] with Allah another deity and [thereby] become censured and forsaken. 17:23 to top Sahih InternationalAnd your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff," and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word. 17:24 to top Sahih InternationalAnd lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say, "My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small." 17:25 to top Sahih InternationalYour Lord is most knowing of what is within yourselves. If you should be righteous [in intention] - then indeed He is ever, to the often returning [to Him], Forgiving. 17:26 to top Sahih InternationalAnd give the relative his right, and [also] the poor and the traveler, and do not spend wastefully. 17:27 to top Sahih InternationalIndeed, the wasteful are brothers of the devils, and ever has Satan been to his Lord ungrateful. 17:28 to top Sahih InternationalAnd if you [must] turn away from the needy awaiting mercy from your Lord which you expect, then speak to them a gentle word. 17:29 to top Sahih InternationalAnd do not make your hand [as] chained to your neck or extend it completely and [thereby] become blamed and insolvent. 17:30 to top Sahih InternationalIndeed, your Lord extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]. Indeed He is ever, concerning His servants, Acquainted and Seeing. 17:31 to top Sahih InternationalAnd do not kill your children for fear of poverty. We provide for them and for you. Indeed, their killing is ever a great sin. 17:32 to top Sahih InternationalAnd do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse. Indeed, it is ever an immorality and is evil as a way. 17:33 to top Sahih InternationalAnd do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden, except by right. And whoever is killed unjustly - We have given his heir authority, but let him not exceed limits in [the matter of] taking life. Indeed, he has been supported [by the law]. 17:34 to top Sahih InternationalAnd do not approach the property of an orphan, except in the way that is best, until he reaches maturity. And fulfill [every] commitment. Indeed, the commitment is ever [that about which one will be] questioned. 17:35 to top Sahih InternationalAnd give full measure when you measure, and weigh with an even balance. That is the best [way] and best in result. 17:36 to top Sahih InternationalAnd do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge. Indeed, the hearing, the sight and the heart - about all those [one] will be questioned. 17:37 to top Sahih InternationalAnd do not walk upon the earth exultantly. Indeed, you will never tear the earth [apart], and you will never reach the mountains in height. 17:38 to top Sahih InternationalAll that - its evil is ever, in the sight of your Lord, detested. 17:39 to top Sahih InternationalThat is from what your Lord has revealed to you, [O Muhammad], of wisdom. And, [O mankind], do not make [as equal] with Allah another deity, lest you be thrown into Hell, blamed and banished. 17:40 to top Sahih InternationalThen, has your Lord chosen you for [having] sons and taken from among the angels daughters? Indeed, you say a grave saying. 17:41 to top Sahih InternationalAnd We have certainly diversified [the contents] in this Qur'an that mankind may be reminded, but it does not increase the disbelievers except in aversion. 17:42 to top Sahih InternationalSay, [O Muhammad], "If there had been with Him [other] gods, as they say, then they [each] would have sought to the Owner of the Throne a way." 17:43 to top Sahih InternationalExalted is He and high above what they say by great sublimity. 17:44 to top Sahih InternationalThe seven heavens and the earth and whatever is in them exalt Him. And there is not a thing except that it exalts [ Allah ] by His praise, but you do not understand their [way of] exalting. Indeed, He is ever Forbearing and Forgiving. 17:45 to top Sahih InternationalAnd when you recite the Qur'an, We put between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter a concealed partition. 17:46 to top Sahih InternationalAnd We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And when you mention your Lord alone in the Qur'an, they turn back in aversion. 17:47 to top Sahih InternationalWe are most knowing of how they listen to it when they listen to you and [of] when they are in private conversation, when the wrongdoers say, "You follow not but a man affected by magic." 17:48 to top Sahih InternationalLook how they strike for you comparisons; but they have strayed, so they cannot [find] a way. 17:49 to top Sahih InternationalAnd they say, "When we are bones and crumbled particles, will we [truly] be resurrected as a new creation?" 17:50 to top Sahih InternationalSay, "Be you stones or iron 17:51 to top Sahih InternationalOr [any] creation of that which is great within your breasts." And they will say, "Who will restore us?" Say, "He who brought you forth the first time." Then they will nod their heads toward you and say, "When is that?" Say, "Perhaps it will be soon - 17:52 to top Sahih InternationalOn the Day He will call you and you will respond with praise of Him and think that you had not remained [in the world] except for a little." 17:53 to top Sahih InternationalAnd tell My servants to say that which is best. Indeed, Satan induces [dissension] among them. Indeed Satan is ever, to mankind, a clear enemy. 17:54 to top Sahih InternationalYour Lord is most knowing of you. If He wills, He will have mercy upon you; or if He wills, He will punish you. And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], over them as a manager. 17:55 to top Sahih InternationalAnd your Lord is most knowing of whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And We have made some of the prophets exceed others [in various ways], and to David We gave the book [of Psalms]. 17:56 to top Sahih InternationalSay, "Invoke those you have claimed [as gods] besides Him, for they do not possess the [ability for] removal of adversity from you or [for its] transfer [to someone else]." 17:57 to top Sahih InternationalThose whom they invoke seek means of access to their Lord, [striving as to] which of them would be nearest, and they hope for His mercy and fear His punishment. Indeed, the punishment of your Lord is ever feared. 17:58 to top Sahih InternationalAnd there is no city but that We will destroy it before the Day of Resurrection or punish it with a severe punishment. That has ever been in the Register inscribed. 17:59 to top Sahih InternationalAnd nothing has prevented Us from sending signs except that the former peoples denied them. And We gave Thamud the she-camel as a visible sign, but they wronged her. And We send not the signs except as a warning. 17:60 to top Sahih InternationalAnd [remember, O Muhammad], when We told you, "Indeed, your Lord has encompassed the people." And We did not make the sight which We showed you except as a trial for the people, as was the accursed tree [mentioned] in the Qur'an. And We threaten them, but it increases them not except in great transgression. 17:61 to top Sahih InternationalAnd [mention] when We said to the angles, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He said, "Should I prostrate to one You created from clay?" 17:62 to top Sahih International[Iblees] said, "Do You see this one whom You have honored above me? If You delay me until the Day of Resurrection, I will surely destroy his descendants, except for a few." 17:63 to top Sahih International[ Allah ] said, "Go, for whoever of them follows you, indeed Hell will be the recompense of you - an ample recompense. 17:64 to top Sahih InternationalAnd incite [to senselessness] whoever you can among them with your voice and assault them with your horses and foot soldiers and become a partner in their wealth and their children and promise them." But Satan does not promise them except delusion. 17:65 to top Sahih InternationalIndeed, over My [believing] servants there is for you no authority. And sufficient is your Lord as Disposer of affairs. 17:66 to top Sahih InternationalIt is your Lord who drives the ship for you through the sea that you may seek of His bounty. Indeed, He is ever, to you, Merciful. 17:67 to top Sahih InternationalAnd when adversity touches you at sea, lost are [all] those you invoke except for Him. But when He delivers you to the land, you turn away [from Him]. And ever is man ungrateful. 17:68 to top Sahih InternationalThen do you feel secure that [instead] He will not cause a part of the land to swallow you or send against you a storm of stones? Then you would not find for yourselves an advocate. 17:69 to top Sahih InternationalOr do you feel secure that He will not send you back into the sea another time and send upon you a hurricane of wind and drown you for what you denied? Then you would not find for yourselves against Us an avenger. 17:70 to top Sahih InternationalAnd We have certainly honored the children of Adam and carried them on the land and sea and provided for them of the good things and preferred them over much of what We have created, with [definite] preference. 17:71 to top Sahih International[Mention, O Muhammad], the Day We will call forth every people with their record [of deeds]. Then whoever is given his record in his right hand - those will read their records, and injustice will not be done to them, [even] as much as a thread [inside the date seed]. 17:72 to top Sahih InternationalAnd whoever is blind in this [life] will be blind in the Hereafter and more astray in way. 17:73 to top Sahih InternationalAnd indeed, they were about to tempt you away from that which We revealed to you in order to [make] you invent about Us something else; and then they would have taken you as a friend. 17:74 to top Sahih InternationalAnd if We had not strengthened you, you would have almost inclined to them a little. 17:75 to top Sahih InternationalThen [if you had], We would have made you taste double [punishment in] life and double [after] death. Then you would not find for yourself against Us a helper. 17:76 to top Sahih InternationalAnd indeed, they were about to drive you from the land to evict you therefrom. And then [when they do], they will not remain [there] after you, except for a little. 17:77 to top Sahih International[That is Our] established way for those We had sent before you of Our messengers; and you will not find in Our way any alteration. 17:78 to top Sahih InternationalEstablish prayer at the decline of the sun [from its meridian] until the darkness of the night and [also] the Qur'an of dawn. Indeed, the recitation of dawn is ever witnessed. 17:79 to top Sahih InternationalAnd from [part of] the night, pray with it as additional [worship] for you; it is expected that your Lord will resurrect you to a praised station. 17:80 to top Sahih InternationalAnd say, "My Lord, cause me to enter a sound entrance and to exit a sound exit and grant me from Yourself a supporting authority." 17:81 to top Sahih InternationalAnd say, "Truth has come, and falsehood has departed. Indeed is falsehood, [by nature], ever bound to depart." 17:82 to top Sahih InternationalAnd We send down of the Qur'an that which is healing and mercy for the believers, but it does not increase the wrongdoers except in loss. 17:83 to top Sahih InternationalAnd when We bestow favor upon the disbeliever, he turns away and distances himself; and when evil touches him, he is ever despairing. 17:84 to top Sahih InternationalSay, "Each works according to his manner, but your Lord is most knowing of who is best guided in way." 17:85 to top Sahih InternationalAnd they ask you, [O Muhammad], about the soul. Say, "The soul is of the affair of my Lord. And mankind have not been given of knowledge except a little." 17:86 to top Sahih InternationalAnd if We willed, We could surely do away with that which We revealed to you. Then you would not find for yourself concerning it an advocate against Us. 17:87 to top Sahih InternationalExcept [We have left it with you] as a mercy from your Lord. Indeed, His favor upon you has ever been great. 17:88 to top Sahih InternationalSay, "If mankind and the jinn gathered in order to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like of it, even if they were to each other assistants." 17:89 to top Sahih InternationalAnd We have certainly diversified for the people in this Qur'an from every [kind] of example, but most of the people refused [anything] except disbelief. 17:90 to top Sahih InternationalAnd they say, "We will not believe you until you break open for us from the ground a spring. 17:91 to top Sahih InternationalOr [until] you have a garden of palm tress and grapes and make rivers gush forth within them in force [and abundance] 17:92 to top Sahih InternationalOr you make the heaven fall upon us in fragments as you have claimed or you bring Allah and the angels before [us] 17:93 to top Sahih InternationalOr you have a house of gold or you ascend into the sky. And [even then], we will not believe in your ascension until you bring down to us a book we may read." Say, "Exalted is my Lord! Was I ever but a human messenger?" 17:94 to top Sahih InternationalAnd what prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them except that they said, "Has Allah sent a human messenger?" 17:95 to top Sahih InternationalSay, "If there were upon the earth angels walking securely, We would have sent down to them from the heaven an angel [as a] messenger." 17:96 to top Sahih InternationalSay, "Sufficient is Allah as Witness between me and you. Indeed he is ever, concerning His servants, Acquainted and Seeing." 17:97 to top Sahih InternationalAnd whoever Allah guides - he is the [rightly] guided; and whoever He sends astray - you will never find for them protectors besides Him, and We will gather them on the Day of Resurrection [fallen] on their faces - blind, dumb and deaf. Their refuge is Hell; every time it subsides We increase them in blazing fire. 17:98 to top Sahih InternationalThat is their recompense because they disbelieved in Our verses and said, "When we are bones and crumbled particles, will we [truly] be resurrected [in] a new creation?" 17:99 to top Sahih InternationalDo they not see that Allah , who created the heavens and earth, is [the one] Able to create the likes of them? And He has appointed for them a term, about which there is no doubt. But the wrongdoers refuse [anything] except disbelief. 17:100 to top Sahih InternationalSay [to them], "If you possessed the depositories of the mercy of my Lord, then you would withhold out of fear of spending." And ever has man been stingy. 17:101 to top Sahih InternationalAnd We had certainly given Moses nine evident signs, so ask the Children of Israel [about] when he came to them and Pharaoh said to him, "Indeed I think, O Moses, that you are affected by magic." 17:102 to top Sahih International[Moses] said, "You have already known that none has sent down these [signs] except the Lord of the heavens and the earth as evidence, and indeed I think, O Pharaoh, that you are destroyed." 17:103 to top Sahih InternationalSo he intended to drive them from the land, but We drowned him and those with him all together. 17:104 to top Sahih InternationalAnd We said after Pharaoh to the Children of Israel, "Dwell in the land, and when there comes the promise of the Hereafter, We will bring you forth in [one] gathering." 17:105 to top Sahih InternationalAnd with the truth We have sent the Qur'an down, and with the truth it has descended. And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a bringer of good tidings and a warner. 17:106 to top Sahih InternationalAnd [it is] a Qur'an which We have separated [by intervals] that you might recite it to the people over a prolonged period. And We have sent it down progressively. 17:107 to top Sahih InternationalSay, "Believe in it or do not believe. Indeed, those who were given knowledge before it - when it is recited to them, they fall upon their faces in prostration, 17:108 to top Sahih InternationalAnd they say, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, the promise of our Lord has been fulfilled." 17:109 to top Sahih InternationalAnd they fall upon their faces weeping, and the Qur'an increases them in humble submission. 17:110 to top Sahih InternationalSay, "Call upon Allah or call upon the Most Merciful. Whichever [name] you call - to Him belong the best names." And do not recite [too] loudly in your prayer or [too] quietly but seek between that an [intermediate] way. 17:111 to top Sahih InternationalAnd say, "Praise to Allah , who has not taken a son and has had no partner in [His] dominion and has no [need of a] protector out of weakness; and glorify Him with [great] glorification."
