وَكُلَّ And (for) every إِنسَـٰنٍ man أَلْزَمْنَـٰهُ We have fastened to him طَـٰٓئِرَهُۥ his fate فِى in عُنُقِهِۦ ۖ his neck وَنُخْرِجُ and We will bring forth لَهُۥ for him يَوْمَ (on the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ (of) the Resurrection كِتَـٰبًۭا a record يَلْقَىٰهُ which he will find مَنشُورًا wide open ١٣ (13)

ٱنظُرْ See كَيْفَ how فَضَّلْنَا We preferred بَعْضَهُمْ some of them عَلَىٰ over بَعْضٍۢ ۚ others وَلَلْـَٔاخِرَةُ And surely the Hereafter أَكْبَرُ (is) greater دَرَجَـٰتٍۢ (in) degrees وَأَكْبَرُ and greater تَفْضِيلًۭا (in) excellence ٢١ (21)

Look how We have favored [in provision] some of them over others. But the Hereafter is greater in degrees [of difference] and greater in distinction.

تُسَبِّحُ Glorify لَهُ [to] Him ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتُ the seven heavens ٱلسَّبْعُ the seven heavens وَٱلْأَرْضُ and the earth وَمَن and whatever فِيهِنَّ ۚ (is) in them وَإِن And (there is) not مِّن any شَىْءٍ thing إِلَّا except يُسَبِّحُ glorifies بِحَمْدِهِۦ His Praise وَلَـٰكِن but لَّا not تَفْقَهُونَ you understand تَسْبِيحَهُمْ ۗ their glorification إِنَّهُۥ Indeed, He كَانَ is حَلِيمًا Ever-Forbearing غَفُورًۭا Oft-Forgiving ٤٤ (44)

The seven heavens and the earth and whatever is in them exalt Him. And there is not a thing except that it exalts [Allāh] by His praise, but you do not understand their [way of] exalting. Indeed, He is ever Forbearing and Forgiving.

١٧:٤٥

وَإِذَا And when قَرَأْتَ you recite ٱلْقُرْءَانَ the Quran جَعَلْنَا We place بَيْنَكَ between you وَبَيْنَ and between ٱلَّذِينَ those who لَا (do) not يُؤْمِنُونَ believe بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ in the Hereafter حِجَابًۭا a barrier مَّسْتُورًۭا hidden ٤٥ (45)

And when you recite the Qur’ān, We put between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter a concealed partition.

١٧:٤٦

وَجَعَلْنَا And We have placed عَلَىٰ over قُلُوبِهِمْ their hearts أَكِنَّةً coverings أَن lest يَفْقَهُوهُ they understand it وَفِىٓ and in ءَاذَانِهِمْ their ears وَقْرًۭا ۚ deafness وَإِذَا And when ذَكَرْتَ you mention رَبَّكَ your Lord فِى in ٱلْقُرْءَانِ the Quran وَحْدَهُۥ Alone وَلَّوْا۟ they turn عَلَىٰٓ on أَدْبَـٰرِهِمْ their backs نُفُورًۭا (in) aversion ٤٦ (46)

And 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’ān, they turn back in aversion.

١٧:٤٧

نَّحْنُ We أَعْلَمُ know best بِمَا [of] what يَسْتَمِعُونَ they listen بِهِۦٓ to [it] إِذْ when يَسْتَمِعُونَ they listen إِلَيْكَ to you وَإِذْ and when هُمْ they نَجْوَىٰٓ (are) in private conversation إِذْ when يَقُولُ say ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ the wrongdoers إِن Not تَتَّبِعُونَ you follow إِلَّا but رَجُلًۭا a man مَّسْحُورًا bewitched ٤٧ (47)

We 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."

١٧:٤٨

ٱنظُرْ See كَيْفَ how ضَرَبُوا۟ they put forth لَكَ for you ٱلْأَمْثَالَ the examples فَضَلُّوا۟ but they have gone astray فَلَا so not يَسْتَطِيعُونَ they can سَبِيلًۭا (find) a way ٤٨ (48)

Look how they strike for you comparisons; but they have strayed, so they cannot [find] a way.

١٧:٤٩

وَقَالُوٓا۟ And they say أَءِذَا Is it when كُنَّا we are عِظَـٰمًۭا bones وَرُفَـٰتًا and crumbled particles أَءِنَّا will we لَمَبْعُوثُونَ surely (be) resurrected خَلْقًۭا (as) a creation جَدِيدًۭا new ٤٩ (49)

And they say, "When we are bones and crumbled particles, will we [truly] be resurrected as a new creation?"

١٧:٥٠

۞ قُلْ Say كُونُوا۟ Be حِجَارَةً stones أَوْ or حَدِيدًا iron ٥٠ (50)

Say, "Be you stones or iron

١٧:٥١

أَوْ Or خَلْقًۭا a creation مِّمَّا of what يَكْبُرُ (is) great فِى in صُدُورِكُمْ ۚ your breasts فَسَيَقُولُونَ Then they will say مَن Who يُعِيدُنَا ۖ will restore us قُلِ Say ٱلَّذِى He Who فَطَرَكُمْ created you أَوَّلَ (the) first مَرَّةٍۢ ۚ time فَسَيُنْغِضُونَ Then they will shake إِلَيْكَ at you رُءُوسَهُمْ their heads وَيَقُولُونَ and they say مَتَىٰ When (will) هُوَ ۖ it (be) قُلْ Say عَسَىٰٓ Perhaps أَن that يَكُونَ (it) will be قَرِيبًۭا soon ٥١ (51)

Or [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 -

١٧:٥٢

يَوْمَ (On) the Day يَدْعُوكُمْ He will call you فَتَسْتَجِيبُونَ and you will respond بِحَمْدِهِۦ with His Praise وَتَظُنُّونَ and you will think إِن not لَّبِثْتُمْ you had remained إِلَّا except قَلِيلًۭا a little (while) ٥٢ (52)

On 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."

١٧:٥٣

وَقُل And say لِّعِبَادِى to My slaves يَقُولُوا۟ (to) say ٱلَّتِى that هِىَ which أَحْسَنُ ۚ (is) best إِنَّ Indeed ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ the Shaitaan يَنزَغُ sows discord بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ between them إِنَّ Indeed ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ the Shaitaan كَانَ is لِلْإِنسَـٰنِ to the man عَدُوًّۭا an enemy مُّبِينًۭا clear ٥٣ (53)

And tell My servants to say that which is best. Indeed, Satan induces [dissension] among them. Indeed Satan is ever, to mankind, a clear enemy.

١٧:٥٤

رَّبُّكُمْ Your Lord أَعْلَمُ (is) most knowing بِكُمْ ۖ of you إِن If يَشَأْ He wills يَرْحَمْكُمْ He will have mercy on you أَوْ or إِن if يَشَأْ He wills يُعَذِّبْكُمْ ۚ He will punish you وَمَآ And not أَرْسَلْنَـٰكَ We have sent you عَلَيْهِمْ over them وَكِيلًۭا (as) a guardian ٥٤ (54)

Your 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 Muḥammad], over them as a manager.

١٧:٥٥

وَرَبُّكَ And your Lord أَعْلَمُ (is) most knowing بِمَن of whoever فِى (is) in ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ and the earth وَلَقَدْ And verily فَضَّلْنَا We have preferred بَعْضَ some ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ (of) the Prophets عَلَىٰ to بَعْضٍۢ ۖ others وَءَاتَيْنَا And We gave دَاوُۥدَ Dawood زَبُورًۭا Zaboor ٥٥ (55)

And 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].

١٧:٥٦

قُلِ Say ٱدْعُوا۟ Call ٱلَّذِينَ those whom زَعَمْتُم you claimed مِّن besides Him دُونِهِۦ besides Him فَلَا [then] not يَمْلِكُونَ they have power كَشْفَ (to) remove ٱلضُّرِّ the misfortunes عَنكُمْ from you وَلَا and not تَحْوِيلًا (to) transfer (it) ٥٦ (56)

Say, "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]."

١٧:٥٧

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ Those ٱلَّذِينَ whom يَدْعُونَ they call يَبْتَغُونَ seek إِلَىٰ to رَبِّهِمُ their Lord ٱلْوَسِيلَةَ the means of access أَيُّهُمْ which of them أَقْرَبُ (is) nearest وَيَرْجُونَ and they hope رَحْمَتَهُۥ (for) His mercy وَيَخَافُونَ and fear عَذَابَهُۥٓ ۚ His punishment إِنَّ Indeed عَذَابَ (the) punishment رَبِّكَ (of) your Lord كَانَ is مَحْذُورًۭا (ever) feared ٥٧ (57)

Those 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.

١٧:٥٨

وَإِن And not مِّن (is) any قَرْيَةٍ town إِلَّا but نَحْنُ We مُهْلِكُوهَا (will) destroy it قَبْلَ before يَوْمِ (the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ (of) the Resurrection أَوْ or مُعَذِّبُوهَا punish it عَذَابًۭا with a punishment شَدِيدًۭا ۚ severe كَانَ That is ذَٰلِكَ That is فِى in ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ the Book مَسْطُورًۭا written ٥٨ (58)

And 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.

١٧:٥٩

وَمَا And not مَنَعَنَآ stopped Us أَن that نُّرْسِلَ We send بِٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ the Signs إِلَّآ except أَن that كَذَّبَ denied بِهَا them ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ ۚ the former (people) وَءَاتَيْنَا And We gave ثَمُودَ Thamud ٱلنَّاقَةَ the she-camel مُبْصِرَةًۭ (as) a visible sign فَظَلَمُوا۟ but they wronged بِهَا ۚ her وَمَا And not نُرْسِلُ We send بِٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ the Signs إِلَّا except تَخْوِيفًۭا (as) a warning ٥٩ (59)

And nothing has prevented Us from sending signs [i.e., miracles] except that the former peoples denied them. And We gave Thamūd the she-camel as a visible sign, but they wronged her. And We send not the signs except as a warning.

١٧:٦٠

وَإِذْ And when قُلْنَا We said لَكَ to you إِنَّ Indeed رَبَّكَ your Lord أَحَاطَ has encompassed بِٱلنَّاسِ ۚ the mankind وَمَا And not جَعَلْنَا We made ٱلرُّءْيَا the vision ٱلَّتِىٓ which أَرَيْنَـٰكَ We showed you إِلَّا except فِتْنَةًۭ (as) a trial لِّلنَّاسِ for mankind وَٱلشَّجَرَةَ and the tree ٱلْمَلْعُونَةَ the accursed فِى in ٱلْقُرْءَانِ ۚ the Quran وَنُخَوِّفُهُمْ And We threaten them فَمَا but not يَزِيدُهُمْ it increases them إِلَّا except طُغْيَـٰنًۭا (in) transgression كَبِيرًۭا great ٦٠ (60)

And [remember, O Muḥammad], when We told you, "Indeed, your Lord has encompassed the people."1 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’ān. And We threaten [i.e., warn] them, but it increases them not except in great transgression.

١٧:٦١

وَإِذْ And when قُلْنَا We said لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ to the Angels ٱسْجُدُوا۟ Prostrate لِـَٔادَمَ to Adam فَسَجَدُوٓا۟ So they prostrated إِلَّآ except إِبْلِيسَ Iblis قَالَ He said ءَأَسْجُدُ Shall I prostrate لِمَنْ to (one) whom خَلَقْتَ You created طِينًۭا (from) clay ٦١ (61)

And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He said, "Should I prostrate to one You created from clay?"

١٧:٦٢

قَالَ He said أَرَءَيْتَكَ Do You see هَـٰذَا this ٱلَّذِى whom كَرَّمْتَ You have honored عَلَىَّ above me لَئِنْ If أَخَّرْتَنِ You give me respite إِلَىٰ till يَوْمِ (the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ (of) the Resurrection لَأَحْتَنِكَنَّ I will surely destroy ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥٓ his offspring إِلَّا except قَلِيلًۭا a few ٦٢ (62)

[Iblees] said, "Do You see this one whom You have honored above me? If You delay me [i.e., my death] until the Day of Resurrection, I will surely destroy his descendants, except for a few."

١٧:٦٣

قَالَ He said ٱذْهَبْ Go فَمَن and whoever تَبِعَكَ follows you مِنْهُمْ among them فَإِنَّ then indeed جَهَنَّمَ Hell جَزَآؤُكُمْ (is) your recompense جَزَآءًۭ a recompense مَّوْفُورًۭا ample ٦٣ (63)

[Allāh] said, "Go, for whoever of them follows you, indeed Hell will be the recompense of [all of] you - an ample recompense.

١٧:٦٤

وَٱسْتَفْزِزْ And incite مَنِ whoever ٱسْتَطَعْتَ you can مِنْهُم among them بِصَوْتِكَ with your voice وَأَجْلِبْ and assault عَلَيْهِم [on] them بِخَيْلِكَ with your cavalry وَرَجِلِكَ and infantry وَشَارِكْهُمْ and be a partner فِى in ٱلْأَمْوَٰلِ the wealth وَٱلْأَوْلَـٰدِ and the children وَعِدْهُمْ ۚ and promise them وَمَا And not يَعِدُهُمُ promises them ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ the Shaitaan إِلَّا except غُرُورًا delusion ٦٤ (64)

And 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.

١٧:٦٥

إِنَّ Indeed عِبَادِى My slaves لَيْسَ not لَكَ for you عَلَيْهِمْ over them سُلْطَـٰنٌۭ ۚ any authority وَكَفَىٰ And sufficient بِرَبِّكَ (is) your Lord وَكِيلًۭا (as) a Guardian ٦٥ (65)

Indeed, over My [believing] servants there is for you no authority. And sufficient is your Lord as Disposer of affairs.

١٧:٦٦

رَّبُّكُمُ Your Lord ٱلَّذِى (is) the One Who يُزْجِى drives لَكُمُ for you ٱلْفُلْكَ the ship فِى in ٱلْبَحْرِ the sea لِتَبْتَغُوا۟ that you may seek مِن of فَضْلِهِۦٓ ۚ His Bounty إِنَّهُۥ Indeed, He كَانَ is بِكُمْ to you رَحِيمًۭا Ever Merciful ٦٦ (66)

It 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.

١٧:٦٧

وَإِذَا And when مَسَّكُمُ touches you ٱلضُّرُّ the hardship فِى in ٱلْبَحْرِ the sea ضَلَّ lost مَن (are) who تَدْعُونَ you call إِلَّآ except إِيَّاهُ ۖ Him Alone فَلَمَّا But when نَجَّىٰكُمْ He delivers you إِلَى to ٱلْبَرِّ the land أَعْرَضْتُمْ ۚ you turn away وَكَانَ And is ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ man كَفُورًا ungrateful ٦٧ (67)

And 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.

١٧:٦٨

أَفَأَمِنتُمْ Do you then feel secure أَن that (not) يَخْسِفَ He will cause to swallow بِكُمْ you جَانِبَ side ٱلْبَرِّ (of) the land أَوْ or يُرْسِلَ send عَلَيْكُمْ against you حَاصِبًۭا a storm of stones ثُمَّ Then لَا not تَجِدُوا۟ you will find لَكُمْ for you وَكِيلًا a guardian ٦٨ (68)

Then 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.

١٧:٦٩

أَمْ Or أَمِنتُمْ do you feel secure أَن that (not) يُعِيدَكُمْ He will send you back فِيهِ into it تَارَةً another time أُخْرَىٰ another time فَيُرْسِلَ and send عَلَيْكُمْ upon you قَاصِفًۭا a hurricane مِّنَ of ٱلرِّيحِ the wind فَيُغْرِقَكُم and drown you بِمَا because كَفَرْتُمْ ۙ you disbelieved ثُمَّ Then لَا not تَجِدُوا۟ you will find لَكُمْ for you عَلَيْنَا against Us بِهِۦ therein تَبِيعًۭا an avenger ٦٩ (69)

Or do you feel secure that He will not send you back into it [i.e., 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.

١٧:٧٠

۞ وَلَقَدْ And certainly كَرَّمْنَا We have honored بَنِىٓ (the) children of Adam ءَادَمَ (the) children of Adam وَحَمَلْنَـٰهُمْ and We carried them فِى on ٱلْبَرِّ the land وَٱلْبَحْرِ and the sea وَرَزَقْنَـٰهُم and We have provided them مِّنَ of ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتِ the good things وَفَضَّلْنَـٰهُمْ and We preferred them عَلَىٰ over كَثِيرٍۢ many مِّمَّنْ of those whom خَلَقْنَا We have created تَفْضِيلًۭا (with) preference ٧٠ (70)

And 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.

[Mention, O Muḥammad], 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].

١٧:٧٢

وَمَن And whoever كَانَ is فِى in هَـٰذِهِۦٓ this (world) أَعْمَىٰ blind فَهُوَ then he فِى in ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ the Hereafter أَعْمَىٰ (will be) blind وَأَضَلُّ and more astray سَبِيلًۭا (from the) path ٧٢ (72)

And whoever is blind in this [life] will be blind in the Hereafter and more astray in way.

And 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.

١٧:٧٤

وَلَوْلَآ And if not أَن [that] ثَبَّتْنَـٰكَ We (had) strengthened you لَقَدْ certainly كِدتَّ you almost تَرْكَنُ (would) have inclined إِلَيْهِمْ to them شَيْـًۭٔا (in) something قَلِيلًا a little ٧٤ (74)

And if We had not strengthened you, you would have almost inclined to them a little.

١٧:٧٥

إِذًۭا Then لَّأَذَقْنَـٰكَ We (would) have made you taste ضِعْفَ double ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ (in) the life وَضِعْفَ and double ٱلْمَمَاتِ (after) the death ثُمَّ Then لَا not تَجِدُ you (would) have found لَكَ for you عَلَيْنَا against Us نَصِيرًۭا any helper ٧٥ (75)

Then [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.

١٧:٧٦

وَإِن And indeed كَادُوا۟ they were about لَيَسْتَفِزُّونَكَ (to) scare you مِنَ from ٱلْأَرْضِ the land لِيُخْرِجُوكَ that they evict you مِنْهَا ۖ from it وَإِذًۭا But then لَّا not يَلْبَثُونَ they (would) have stayed خِلَـٰفَكَ after you إِلَّا except قَلِيلًۭا a little ٧٦ (76)

And indeed, they were about to provoke [i.e., drive] you from the land [i.e., Makkah] to evict you therefrom. And then [when they do], they will not remain [there] after you, except for a little.

And when We bestow favor upon man [i.e., the disbeliever], he turns away and distances himself; and when evil touches him, he is ever despairing.

١٧:٨٤

قُلْ Say كُلٌّۭ Each يَعْمَلُ works عَلَىٰ on شَاكِلَتِهِۦ his manner فَرَبُّكُمْ but your Lord أَعْلَمُ (is) most knowing بِمَنْ of who هُوَ [he] أَهْدَىٰ (is) best guided سَبِيلًۭا (in) way ٨٤ (84)
