17:0
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful.
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
سُبْحٰنَ الَّذِیْۤ اَسْرٰى بِعَبْدِهٖ لَیْلًا مِّنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ اِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْاَقْصَا الَّذِیْ بٰرَكْنَا حَوْلَهٗ لِنُرِیَهٗ مِنْ اٰیٰتِنَاؕ-اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِیْعُ الْبَصِیْرُ(۱)
GLORY TO HIM who took His votary to a wide and open land from the Sacred Mosque (at Makkah) to the distant Mosque whose precincts We have blessed, that We may show him some of Our signs. Verily He is all-hearing and all-seeing.
Glory be to Him, who carried His servant by night from the Holy Mosque to the Further Mosque the precincts of which We have blessed, that We might show him some of Our signs. He is the All-hearing, the All-seeing.
وَ اٰتَیْنَا مُوْسَى الْكِتٰبَ وَ جَعَلْنٰهُ هُدًى لِّبَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ اَلَّا تَتَّخِذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِیْ وَكِیْلًاؕ(۲)
We gave Moses the Book, and made it a guidance for the children of Israel that they should not take another protector apart from Me.
And We gave Moses the Book, and made it a guidance to the Children of Israel: 'Take not unto yourselves any guardian apart from Me.'
ذُرِّیَّةَ مَنْ حَمَلْنَا مَعَ نُوْحٍؕ-اِنَّهٗ كَانَ عَبْدًا شَكُوْرًا(۳)
O you, the offspring of those We bore (in the ark) with Noah, he was indeed a grateful votary.
The seed of those We bore with Noah; he was a thankful servant.
وَ قَضَیْنَاۤ اِلٰى بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ فِی الْكِتٰبِ لَتُفْسِدُنَّ فِی الْاَرْضِ مَرَّتَیْنِ وَ لَتَعْلُنَّ عُلُوًّا كَبِیْرًا(۴)
We announced to the children of Israel in the Book: "You will surely create disorder twice in the land, and become exceedingly arrogant."
And We decreed for the Children of Israel in the Book: 'You shall do corruption in the earth twice, and you shall ascend exceeding high.'
فَاِذَا جَآءَ وَعْدُ اُوْلٰىهُمَا بَعَثْنَا عَلَیْكُمْ عِبَادًا لَّنَاۤ اُولِیْ بَاْسٍ شَدِیْدٍ فَجَاسُوْا خِلٰلَ الدِّیَارِ وَ كَانَ وَعْدًا مَّفْعُوْلًا(۵)
So, when the time of the first prediction came, We sent against you Our creatures full of martial might, who ransacked your cities; and the prediction was fulfilled.
So, when the promise of the first of these came to pass, We sent against you servants of Ours, men of great might, and they went through the habitations, and it was a promise performed.
ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَا لَكُمُ الْكَرَّةَ عَلَیْهِمْ وَ اَمْدَدْنٰكُمْ بِاَمْوَالٍ وَّ بَنِیْنَ وَ جَعَلْنٰكُمْ اَكْثَرَ نَفِیْرًا(۶)
Then We gave you a chance against them, and strengthened you with wealth and children, and increased your numbers (and said):
Then We gave back to you the turn to prevail over them, and We succoured you with wealth and children, and We made you a greater host.
اِنْ اَحْسَنْتُمْ اَحْسَنْتُمْ لِاَنْفُسِكُمْ- وَ اِنْ اَسَاْتُمْ فَلَهَاؕ-فَاِذَا جَآءَ وَعْدُ الْاٰخِرَةِ لِیَسُوْٓءٗا وُجُوْهَكُمْ وَ لِیَدْخُلُوا الْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوْهُ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَّ لِیُتَبِّرُوْا مَا عَلَوْا تَتْبِیْرًا(۷)
"If you do good, you will do so for your own good; if you do ill, you will do it for your own loss." So, when the time of the second prediction comes, (We shall rouse another people) to shame you, and enter the Temple as they had done the first time, and to destroy what they conquered utterly.
'If you do good, it is your own souls you do good to, and if you do evil it is to them likewise.' Then, when the promise of the second came to pass, We sent against you Our servants to discountenance you, and to enter the Temple, as they entered it the first time, and to destroy utterly that which they ascended to.
عَسٰى رَبُّكُمْ اَنْ یَّرْحَمَكُمْۚ-وَ اِنْ عُدْتُّمْ عُدْنَاۘ-وَ جَعَلْنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ حَصِیْرًا(۸)
Your Lord may haply be merciful to you. But if you repeat it, We shall do the same. We have constituted Hell as prison for unbelievers.
Perchance your Lord will have mercy upon you; but if you return, We shall return; and We have made Gehenna a prison for the unbelievers.
اِنَّ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنَ یَهْدِیْ لِلَّتِیْ هِیَ اَقْوَمُ وَ یُبَشِّرُ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ الَّذِیْنَ یَعْمَلُوْنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ اَنَّ لَهُمْ اَجْرًا كَبِیْرًاۙ(۹)
Verily this Qur´an directs you to the path that is straight, and gives happy tidings to those who believe and do the right: For them is a great reward.
Surely this Koran guides to the way that is straightest and gives good tidings to the believers who do deeds of righteousness, that theirs shall be a great wage,
وَّ اَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ اَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابًا اَلِیْمًا۠(۱۰)
As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We have prepared a painful punishment.
and that those who do not believe in the world to come -- we have prepared for them a painful chastisement.
وَ یَدْعُ الْاِنْسَانُ بِالشَّرِّ دُعَآءَهٗ بِالْخَیْرِؕ-وَ كَانَ الْاِنْسَانُ عَجُوْلًا(۱۱)
Man prays for evil as he prays for good, for man is hasty.
Man prays for evil, as he prays for good; man is ever hasty.
وَ جَعَلْنَا الَّیْلَ وَ النَّهَارَ اٰیَتَیْنِ فَمَحَوْنَاۤ اٰیَةَ الَّیْلِ وَ جَعَلْنَاۤ اٰیَةَ النَّهَارِ مُبْصِرَةً لِّتَبْتَغُوْا فَضْلًا مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ وَ لِتَعْلَمُوْا عَدَدَ السِّنِیْنَ وَ الْحِسَابَؕ-وَ كُلَّ شَیْءٍ فَصَّلْنٰهُ تَفْصِیْلًا(۱۲)
We have created night and day as two signs, then We efface the sign of the night, and make the sign of the day resplendent that you may seek the bounty of your Lord, and know the computation of years and numbers. We have expounded most distinctly everything.
We have appointed the night and the day as two signs; then We have blotted out the sign of the night, and made the sign of the day to see, and that you may seek bounty from your Lord, and that you may know the number of the years, and the reckoning; and everything We have distinguished very distinctly.
وَ كُلَّ اِنْسَانٍ اَلْزَمْنٰهُ طٰٓىٕرَهٗ فِیْ عُنُقِهٖؕ-وَ نُخْرِ جُ لَهٗ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ كِتٰبًا یَّلْقٰىهُ مَنْشُوْرًا(۱۳)
Round each man´s neck We have hung his ledger of deeds, and on the Day of Resurrection will present it as a book spread out (and say):
And every man -- We have fastened to him his bird of omen upon his neck; and We shall bring forth for him, on the Day of Resurrection, a book he shall find spread wide open.
اِقْرَاْ كِتٰبَكَؕ-كَفٰى بِنَفْسِكَ الْیَوْمَ عَلَیْكَ حَسِیْبًاؕ(۱۴)
"Read your ledger; this day you are sufficient to take your own account.
'Read thy book! Thy soul suffices thee this day as a reckoner against thee.'
مَنِ اهْتَدٰى فَاِنَّمَا یَهْتَدِیْ لِنَفْسِهٖۚ-وَ مَنْ ضَلَّ فَاِنَّمَا یَضِلُّ عَلَیْهَاؕ-وَ لَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِّزْرَ اُخْرٰىؕ-وَ مَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِیْنَ حَتّٰى نَبْعَثَ رَسُوْلًا(۱۵)
"He who finds the right path does so for himself; and he who goes astray does so to his own loss; and no one who carries a burden bears another´s load. We never punish till We have sent a messenger.
Whosoever is guided, is only guided to his own gain, and whosoever goes astray, it is only to his own loss; no soul laden bears the load of another. We never chastise, until We send forth a Messenger.
وَ اِذَاۤ اَرَدْنَاۤ اَنْ نُّهْلِكَ قَرْیَةً اَمَرْنَا مُتْرَفِیْهَا فَفَسَقُوْا فِیْهَا فَحَقَّ عَلَیْهَا الْقَوْلُ فَدَمَّرْنٰهَا تَدْمِیْرًا(۱۶)
"And when We destroy a human habitation We send Our command to (warn) its people living a life of ease; and when they disobey, the sentence against them is justified, and We destroy them utterly.
And when We desire to destroy a city, We command its men who live at ease, and they commit ungodliness therein, then the Word is realized against it, and We destroy it utterly.
وَ كَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا مِنَ الْقُرُوْنِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ نُوْحٍؕ-وَ كَفٰى بِرَبِّكَ بِذُنُوْبِ عِبَادِهٖ خَبِیْرًۢا بَصِیْرًا(۱۷)
"How many generations have We laid low after Noah, for your Lord knows and notices well enough the sins of His creatures.
How many generations We have destroyed after Noah! Thy Lord suffices as one who is aware of and sees the sins of His servants.
مَنْ كَانَ یُرِیْدُ الْعَاجِلَةَ عَجَّلْنَا لَهٗ فِیْهَا مَا نَشَآءُ لِمَنْ نُّرِیْدُ ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا لَهٗ جَهَنَّمَۚ-یَصْلٰىهَا مَذْمُوْمًا مَّدْحُوْرًا(۱۸)
"Whosoever desires what hastes away, We hasten to give him (in this life) as much as We please to whosoever We will; but afterwards there is Hell for him in which he will burn, disgraced and ostracised.
Whosoever desires this hasty world, We hasten for him therein what We will unto whomsoever We desire; then We appoint for him Gehenna wherein he shall roast, condemned and rejected.
وَ مَنْ اَرَادَ الْاٰخِرَةَ وَ سَعٰى لَهَا سَعْیَهَا وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ كَانَ سَعْیُهُمْ مَّشْكُوْرًا(۱۹)
"But he who desires the Hereafter, and strives for it with a will, and is a believer, will be favoured for his endeavour.
And whosoever desires the world to come and strives after it as he should, being a believer -- those, their striving shall be thanked.
كُلًّا نُّمِدُّ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ وَ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ مِنْ عَطَآءِ رَبِّكَؕ-وَ مَا كَانَ عَطَآءُ رَبِّكَ مَحْظُوْرًا(۲۰)
"We bestow from the gifts of your Lord on these and on those, for the gifts of your Lord are not restricted.
Each We succour, these and those, from thy Lord's gift; and thy Lord's gift is not confined.
اُنْظُرْ كَیْفَ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍؕ-وَ لَلْاٰخِرَةُ اَكْبَرُ دَرَجٰتٍ وَّ اَكْبَرُ تَفْضِیْلًا(۲۱)
"See, how We favour one over the other; and in life to come are higher ranks and favours greater still.
Behold, how We prefer some of them over others! And surely the world to come is greater in ranks, greater in preferment.
لَا تَجْعَلْ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهًا اٰخَرَ فَتَقْعُدَ مَذْمُوْمًا مَّخْذُوْلًا۠(۲۲)
"Do not set up another god with God, or you will remain disgraced and destitute.
Set not up with God another god, or thou wilt sit condemned and forsaken.
وَ قَضٰى رَبُّكَ اَلَّا تَعْبُدُوْۤا اِلَّاۤ اِیَّاهُ وَ بِالْوَالِدَیْنِ اِحْسَانًاؕ-اِمَّا یَبْلُغَنَّ عِنْدَكَ الْكِبَرَ اَحَدُهُمَاۤ اَوْ كِلٰهُمَا فَلَا تَقُلْ لَّهُمَاۤ اُفٍّ وَّ لَا تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَ قُلْ لَّهُمَا قَوْلًا كَرِیْمًا(۲۳)
"So your Lord has decreed: Do not worship anyone but Him, and be good to your parents. If one or both of them grow old in your presence, do not say fie to them, nor reprove them, but say gentle words to them
Thy Lord has decreed you shall not serve any but Him, and to be good to parents, whether one or both of them attains old age with thee; say not to them 'Fie' neither chide them, but speak unto them words respectful,
وَ اخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ الذُّلِّ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ قُلْ رَّبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّیٰنِیْ صَغِیْرًاؕ(۲۴)
"And look after them with kindness and love, and say: "O Lord, have mercy on them as they nourished me when I was small."
and lower to them the wing of humbleness out of mercy and say; 'My Lord, have mercy upon them, as they raised me up when I was little.'
رَبُّكُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِیْ نُفُوْسِكُمْؕ-اِنْ تَكُوْنُوْا صٰلِحِیْنَ فَاِنَّهٗ كَانَ لِلْاَوَّابِیْنَ غَفُوْرًا(۲۵)
Your Lord knows what is in your heart. If you are righteous, then He is indeed forgiving to those who turn (to Him) in repentance.
Your Lord knows very well what is in your hearts if you are righteous, for He is All-forgiving to those who are penitent.
وَ اٰتِ ذَا الْقُرْبٰى حَقَّهٗ وَ الْمِسْكِیْنَ وَ ابْنَ السَّبِیْلِ وَ لَا تُبَذِّرْ تَبْذِیْرًا(۲۶)
So give to your relatives what is their due, and to those who are needy, and the wayfarers; and do not dissipate (your wealth) extravagantly.
And give the kinsman his right, and the needy, and the traveller; and never squander;
اِنَّ الْمُبَذِّرِیْنَ كَانُوْۤا اِخْوَانَ الشَّیٰطِیْنِؕ-وَ كَانَ الشَّیْطٰنُ لِرَبِّهٖ كَفُوْرًا(۲۷)
Those who dissipate (their wealth) are the brethren of the devils, and the Devil was ungrateful to his Lord.
the squanderers are brothers of Satan, and Satan is unthankful to his Lord.
وَ اِمَّا تُعْرِضَنَّ عَنْهُمُ ابْتِغَآءَ رَحْمَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّكَ تَرْجُوْهَا فَقُلْ لَّهُمْ قَوْلًا مَّیْسُوْرًا(۲۸)
If you neglect (your parents) while seeking the bounty of your Lord, of which you are hopeful, speak to them softly.
But if thou turnest from them, seeking mercy from thy Lord that thou hopest for, then speak unto them gentle words.
وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ یَدَكَ مَغْلُوْلَةً اِلٰى عُنُقِكَ وَ لَا تَبْسُطْهَا كُلَّ الْبَسْطِ فَتَقْعُدَ مَلُوْمًا مَّحْسُوْرًا(۲۹)
Do not be niggardly, nor extravagant that you may later feel reprehensive and constrained.
And keep not thy hand chained to thy neck, nor outspread it widespread altogether, or thou wilt sit reproached and denuded.
اِنَّ رَبَّكَ یَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَ یَقْدِرُؕ-اِنَّهٗ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهٖ خَبِیْرًۢا بَصِیْرًا۠(۳۰)
Certainly your Lord provides with open hands whosoever He will, but according to capacity, for He knows and watches His creatures.
Surely thy Lord outspreads and straitens His provision unto whom He will; surely He is aware of and sees His servants.
وَ لَا تَقْتُلُوْۤا اَوْلَادَكُمْ خَشْیَةَ اِمْلَاقٍؕ-نَحْنُ نَرْزُقُهُمْ وَ اِیَّاكُمْؕ-اِنَّ قَتْلَهُمْ كَانَ خِطْاً كَبِیْرًا(۳۱)
Do not abandon your children out of fear of poverty. We will provide for them and for you. Killing them is certainly a great wrong.
And slay not your children for fear of poverty; We will provide for you and them; surely the slaying of them is a grievous sin.
وَ لَا تَقْرَبُوا الزِّنٰۤى اِنَّهٗ كَانَ فَاحِشَةًؕ-وَ سَآءَ سَبِیْلًا(۳۲)
And do not go near fornication, as it is immoral and an evil way.
And approach not fornication; surely it is an indecency, and evil as a way.
وَ لَا تَقْتُلُوا النَّفْسَ الَّتِیْ حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ اِلَّا بِالْحَقِّؕ-وَ مَنْ قُتِلَ مَظْلُوْمًا فَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا لِوَلِیِّهٖ سُلْطٰنًا فَلَا یُسْرِفْ فِّی الْقَتْلِؕ-اِنَّهٗ كَانَ مَنْصُوْرًا(۳۳)
And do not take a life, which God has forbidden, except in a just cause. We have given the right (of redress) to the heir of the person who is killed, but he should not exceed the limits (of justice) by slaying (the killer), for he will be judged (by the same law).
And slay not the soul God has forbidden, except by right. Whosoever is slain unjustly, We have appointed to his next-of-kin authority; but let him not exceed in slaying; he shall be helped.
وَ لَا تَقْرَبُوْا مَالَ الْیَتِیْمِ اِلَّا بِالَّتِیْ هِیَ اَحْسَنُ حَتّٰى یَبْلُغَ اَشُدَّه۪ٗ-وَ اَوْفُوْا بِالْعَهْدِۚ-اِنَّ الْعَهْدَ كَانَ مَسْـٴُـوْلًا (۳۴)
And do not touch the property of the orphans except for bettering it, until they come of age; and fulfil the promise made: You will surely be questioned about the promise.
And do not approach the property of the orphan save in the fairest manner, until he is of age. And fulfil the covenant; surely the covenant shall be questioned of.
وَ اَوْفُوا الْكَیْلَ اِذَا كِلْتُمْ وَ زِنُوْا بِالْقِسْطَاسِ الْمُسْتَقِیْمِؕ-ذٰلِكَ خَیْرٌ وَّ اَحْسَنُ تَاْوِیْلًا(۳۵)
Give full measure when you are measuring, and weigh on a balanced scale. This is better, and excellent its consequence.
And fill up the measure when you measure, and weigh with the straight balance; that is better and fairer in the issue.
وَ لَا تَقْفُ مَا لَیْسَ لَكَ بِهٖ عِلْمٌؕ-اِنَّ السَّمْعَ وَ الْبَصَرَ وَ الْفُؤَادَ كُلُّ اُولٰٓىٕكَ كَانَ عَنْهُ مَسْـٴُـوْلًا (۳۶)
Do not follow that of which you have no knowledge. Verily the ear, the eye, the heart, each will be questioned.
And pursue not that thou hast no knowledge of; the hearing, the sight, the heart -- all of those shall be questioned of.
وَ لَا تَمْشِ فِی الْاَرْضِ مَرَحًاۚ-اِنَّكَ لَنْ تَخْرِقَ الْاَرْضَ وَ لَنْ تَبْلُغَ الْجِبَالَ طُوْلًا(۳۷)
And do not strut about the land with insolence: Surely you cannot cleave the earth, nor attain the height of mountains in stature.
And walk not in the earth exultantly; certainly thou wilt never tear the earth open, nor attain the mountains in height.
كُلُّ ذٰلِكَ كَانَ سَیِّئُهٗ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ مَكْرُوْهًا(۳۸)
All these are evil and odious to your Lord.
All of that -- the wickedness of it is hateful in the sight of thy Lord has revealed to thee:
ذٰلِكَ مِمَّاۤ اَوْحٰۤى اِلَیْكَ رَبُّكَ مِنَ الْحِكْمَةِؕ-وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهًا اٰخَرَ فَتُلْقٰى فِیْ جَهَنَّمَ مَلُوْمًا مَّدْحُوْرًا(۳۹)
This is some of the wisdom your Lord has revealed to you. So do not take another god apart from God, or you will be cast into Hell, reproved, ostracised.
That is of the wisdom thy Lord set not up with God another god, or thou wilt be cast into Gehenna, reproached and rejected.
اَفَاَصْفٰىكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ بِالْبَنِیْنَ وَ اتَّخَذَ مِنَ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةِ اِنَاثًاؕ-اِنَّكُمْ لَتَقُوْلُوْنَ قَوْلًا عَظِیْمًا۠(۴۰)
Has God chosen to give you sons, and taken for Himself daughters from among the angels? You utter grievous things indeed!
What, has your Lord favoured you with sons and taken to Himself from the angels females? Surely it is a monstrous thing you are saying!
