17:0
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful.
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
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 to (Allah) Who did take His servant for a Journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the farthest Mosque, whose precincts We did bless,- in order that We might show him some of Our Signs: for He is the One Who heareth and seeth (all things).
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.
We gave Moses the Book, and made it a Guide to the Children of Israel, (commanding): "Take not other than Me as Disposer of (your) affairs."
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.
O ye that are sprung from those whom We carried (in the Ark) with Noah! Verily he was a devotee most grateful.
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 gave (Clear) Warning to the Children of Israel in the Book, that twice would they do mischief on the earth and be elated with mighty arrogance (and twice would they be punished)!
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.
When the first of the warnings came to pass, We sent against you Our servants given to terrible warfare: They entered the very inmost parts of your homes; and it was a warning (completely) fulfilled.
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 did We grant you the Return as against them: We gave you increase in resources and sons, and made you the more numerous in man-power.
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 ye did well, ye did well for yourselves; if ye did evil, (ye did it) against yourselves. So when the second of the warnings came to pass, (We permitted your enemies) to disfigure your faces, and to enter your Temple as they had entered it before, and to visit with destruction all that fell into their power.
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.
It may be that your Lord may (yet) show Mercy unto you; but if ye revert (to your sins), We shall revert (to Our punishments): And we have made Hell a prison for those who reject (all Faith).
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.
Verily this Qur'an doth guide to that which is most right (or stable), and giveth the Glad Tidings to the Believers who work deeds of righteousness, that they shall have a magnificent reward;
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 to those who believe not in the Hereafter, (it announceth) that We have prepared for them a Penalty Grievous (indeed).
وَ یَدْعُ الْاِنْسَانُ بِالشَّرِّ دُعَآءَهٗ بِالْخَیْرِؕ-وَ كَانَ الْاِنْسَانُ عَجُوْلًا(۱۱)
Man prays for evil as he prays for good, for man is hasty.
The prayer that man should make for good, he maketh for evil; for man is given to hasty (deeds).
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 made the Night and the Day as two (of Our) Signs: the Sign of the Night have We obscured, while the Sign of the Day We have made to enlighten you; that ye may seek bounty from your Lord, and that ye may know the number and count of the years: all things have We explained in detail.
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):
Every man's fate We have fastened on his own neck: On the Day of Judgment We shall bring out for him a scroll, which he will see spread open.
اِقْرَاْ كِتٰبَكَؕ-كَفٰى بِنَفْسِكَ الْیَوْمَ عَلَیْكَ حَسِیْبًاؕ(۱۴)
"Read your ledger; this day you are sufficient to take your own account.
(It will be said to him:) "Read thine (own) record: Sufficient is thy soul this day to make out an account 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.
Who receiveth guidance, receiveth it for his own benefit: who goeth astray doth so to his own loss: No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another: nor would We visit with Our Wrath until We had sent an messenger (to give warning).
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.
When We decide to destroy a population, We (first) send a definite order to those among them who are given the good things of this life and yet transgress; so that the word is proved true against them: then (it is) We destroy them 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 have We destroyed after Noah? and enough is thy Lord to note and see 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.
If any do wish for the transitory things (of this life), We readily grant them - such things as We will, to such person as We will: in the end have We provided Hell for them: they will burn therein, disgraced 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.
Those who do wish for the (things of) the Hereafter, and strive therefor with all due striving, and have Faith,- they are the ones whose striving is acceptable (to Allah).
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.
Of the bounties of thy Lord We bestow freely on all- These as well as those: The bounties of thy Lord are not closed (to anyone).
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.
See how We have bestowed more on some than on others; but verily the Hereafter is more in rank and gradation and more in excellence.
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.
Take not with Allah another object of worship; or thou (O man!) wilt sit in disgrace and destitution.
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 hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour.
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, out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility, and say: "My Lord! bestow on them thy Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood."
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 knoweth best what is in your hearts: If ye do deeds of righteousness, verily He is Most Forgiving to those who turn to Him again and again (in true penitence).
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 render to the kindred their due rights, as (also) to those in want, and to the wayfarer: But squander not (your wealth) in the manner of a spendthrift.
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.
Verily spendthrifts are brothers of the Evil Ones; and the Evil One is to his Lord (himself) ungrateful.
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.
And even if thou hast to turn away from them in pursuit of the Mercy from thy Lord which thou dost expect, yet speak to them a word of easy kindness.
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.
Make not thy hand tied (like a niggard's) to thy neck, nor stretch it forth to its utmost reach, so that thou become blameworthy and destitute.
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.
Verily thy Lord doth provide sustenance in abundance for whom He pleaseth, and He provideth in a just measure. For He doth know and regard all 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.
Kill not your children for fear of want: We shall provide sustenance for them as well as for you. Verily the killing of them is a great 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.
Nor come nigh to adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) and an evil, opening the road (to other evils).
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).
Nor take life - which Allah has made sacred - except for just cause. And if anyone is slain wrongfully, we have given his heir authority (to demand qisas or to forgive): but let him not exceed bounds in the matter of taking life; for he is helped (by the Law).
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.
Come not nigh to the orphan's property except to improve it, until he attains the age of full strength; and fulfil (every) engagement, for (every) engagement will be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning).
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.
Give full measure when ye measure, and weigh with a balance that is straight: that is the most fitting and the most advantageous in the final determination.
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 of which thou hast no knowledge; for every act of hearing, or of seeing or of (feeling in) the heart will be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning).
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.
Nor walk on the earth with insolence: for thou canst not rend the earth asunder, nor reach the mountains in height.
كُلُّ ذٰلِكَ كَانَ سَیِّئُهٗ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ مَكْرُوْهًا(۳۸)
All these are evil and odious to your Lord.
Of all such things the evil is hateful in the sight of thy Lord.
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.
These are among the (precepts of) wisdom, which thy Lord has revealed to thee. Take not, with Allah, another object of worship, lest thou shouldst be thrown into Hell, blameworthy 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!
Has then your Lord (O Pagans!) preferred for you sons, and taken for Himself daughters among the angels? Truly ye utter a most dreadful saying!
