سورة 17
۞
Al-Isra
-
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. Exalted is He who made His obedient one travel by night, from the Forbidden Sanctuary to the farthest sanctuary, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him some of Our signs.i 1
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ سُبْحَٰنَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَسْرَىٰ بِعَبْدِهِۦ لَيْلًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ إِلَى ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْأَقْصَا ٱلَّذِى بَٰرَكْنَا حَوْلَهُۥ لِنُرِيَهُۥ مِنْ ءَايَٰتِنَآ -
Indeed, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing. 1
إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْبَصِيرُ -
And We gave Moussa the Scripture, and made it a guidance for the Children of Israel: "Take no one, besides Me, as an agent" — progeny of those We carried with Nuh.i 3
وَءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَجَعَلْنَٰهُ هُدًۭى لِّبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ أَلَّا تَتَّخِذُوا۟ مِن دُونِى وَكِيلًۭا ذُرِّيَّةَ مَنْ حَمَلْنَا مَعَ نُوحٍ الدوري السوسي -
He was indeed a grateful the obedient one.i 3
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَبْدًۭا شَكُورًۭا -
And We decreed to the Children of Israel, in the Scripture: "You will surely spread corruption on the earth twice, and you will surely rise to an immense arrogance."i 4
وَقَضَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ فِى ٱلْكِتَٰبِ لَتُفْسِدُنَّ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَلَتَعْلُنَّ عُلُوًّۭا كَبِيرًۭا -
When the promise of the first of these two came, We raised up against you obedient ones of Ours, possessed of severe rigor, who ranged through the dwellings in every direction —i 5
فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعْدُ أُولَىٰهُمَا بَعَثْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ عِبَادًۭا لَّنَآ أُو۟لِى بَأْسٍۢ شَدِيدٍۢ فَجَاسُوا۟ خِلَٰلَ ٱلدِّيَارِ -
and it was a fulfilled promise. 5
وَكَانَ وَعْدًۭا مَّفْعُولًۭا -
Then We gave you back the upper hand over them, and supported you with wealth and children, and made you more numerous in ranks. 6
ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَا لَكُمُ ٱلْكَرَّةَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَمْدَدْنَٰكُم بِأَمْوَٰلٍۢ وَبَنِينَ وَجَعَلْنَٰكُمْ أَكْثَرَ نَفِيرًا -
If you do well, you do well for yourselves, 7
إِنْ أَحْسَنتُمْ أَحْسَنتُمْ لِأَنفُسِكُمْ -
and if you do ill, it is against yourselves. 7
وَإِنْ أَسَأْتُمْ فَلَهَا -
Then, when the promise of the second time came, [We raised up servants] to afflict your faces, to enter the Sanctuary as they had entered it the first time, and to utterly destroy whatever they seized.i 7
فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعْدُ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ لِيَسُۥٓـُٔوا۟ وُجُوهَكُمْ وَلِيَدْخُلُوا۟ ٱلْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۢ وَلِيُتَبِّرُوا۟ مَا عَلَوْا۟ تَتْبِيرًا الدوري السوسي -
It may be that your Guardian will show you benevolence; 8
عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمْ أَن يَرْحَمَكُمْ -
but if you revert, We will revert. 8
وَإِنْ عُدتُّمْ عُدْنَا -
And We have made Jahannam, for those who deny, an enclosure.i 8
وَجَعَلْنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلْكَٰفِرِينَ حَصِيرًا -
This Recitation guides to what is most upright, and gives the believers who do righteous deeds the glad tidings that they will have a great reward, and that those who do not believe in the last life — We have prepared for them a painful punishment.i 10
إِنَّ هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ يَهْدِى لِلَّتِى هِىَ أَقْوَمُ وَيُبَشِّرُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ أَنَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًۭا كَبِيرًۭا وَأَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْءَاخِرَةِ أَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًۭا -
The human being calls for evil with the same haste with which he calls for good, 11
وَيَدْعُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ بِٱلشَّرِّ دُعَآءَهُۥ بِٱلْخَيْرِ -
for the human being is hasty. 11
وَكَانَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ عَجُولًۭا -
We have made the night and the day two signs; We effaced the sign of the night and made the sign of the day a time of clarity, so that you might seek a favor from your Guardian and know the count of years and reckoning. 12
وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ ءَايَتَيْنِ فَمَحَوْنَآ ءَايَةَ ٱلَّيْلِ وَجَعَلْنَآ ءَايَةَ ٱلنَّهَارِ مُبْصِرَةًۭ لِّتَبْتَغُوا۟ فَضْلًۭا مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَلِتَعْلَمُوا۟ عَدَدَ ٱلسِّنِينَ وَٱلْحِسَابَ -
And everything, We have set out in detail. 12
وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍۢ فَصَّلْنَٰهُ تَفْصِيلًۭا -
And to every human being We have fastened his own omen to his neck; and We shall bring forth for him, on the Day of Appearance, a register which he will find laid open:i 13
وَكُلَّ إِنسَٰنٍ أَلْزَمْنَٰهُ طَٰٓئِرَهُۥ فِى عُنُقِهِۦ وَنُخْرِجُ لَهُۥ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ كِتَٰبًۭا يَلْقَىٰهُ مَنشُورًا -
"Read your register: today, it suffices that you be your own accountant."i 14
ٱقْرَأْ كِتَٰبَكَ كَفَىٰ بِنَفْسِكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكَ حَسِيبًۭا -
Whoever lets himself be guided is guided only for himself, 15
مَّنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِى لِنَفْسِهِۦ -
and whoever goes astray does so only against himself. 15
وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَا -
No burdened Self will bear the burden of another.i 15
وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌۭ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ -
And We never punish until We have raised up a messenger. 15
وَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِينَ حَتَّىٰ نَبْعَثَ رَسُولًۭا -
And when We wish to destroy a city, We command its privileged ones [to reform], but they overstep within it; so the word comes true against it, and We destroy it utterly.i 16
وَإِذَآ أَرَدْنَآ أَن نُّهْلِكَ قَرْيَةً أَمَرْنَا مُتْرَفِيهَا فَفَسَقُوا۟ فِيهَا فَحَقَّ عَلَيْهَا ٱلْقَوْلُ فَدَمَّرْنَٰهَا تَدْمِيرًۭا -
How many generations have We destroyed after Nuh!i 17
وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ نُوحٍۢ -
Your Guardian suffices, to know the wrongs of His servants, as Informed and Seeing. 17
وَكَفَىٰ بِرَبِّكَ بِذُنُوبِ عِبَادِهِۦ خَبِيرًۢا بَصِيرًۭا -
Whoever wants the hasty [life], We hasten for him in it what We will, to whom We will; then We assign him Jahannam, where he will burn, blamed, driven away. 18
مَّن كَانَ يُرِيدُ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ عَجَّلْنَا لَهُۥ فِيهَا مَا نَشَآءُ لِمَن نُّرِيدُ ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا لَهُۥ جَهَنَّمَ يَصْلَىٰهَا مَذْمُومًۭا مَّدْحُورًۭا -
And whoever wants the last [life] and strives for it with the effort it deserves, while being a believer — those are the ones whose effort will be acknowledged. 19
وَمَنْ أَرَادَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ وَسَعَىٰ لَهَا سَعْيَهَا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌۭ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ كَانَ سَعْيُهُم مَّشْكُورًۭا -
To all, We grant — 20
كُلًّۭا نُّمِدُّ -
to these as to those — from your Guardian's gift, 20
هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَهَٰٓؤُلَآءِ مِنْ عَطَآءِ رَبِّكَ -
and your Guardian's gift is never restricted. 20
وَمَا كَانَ عَطَآءُ رَبِّكَ مَحْظُورًا -
See how We have favored some over others; 21
ٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ -
and the last life is indeed greater in degrees, and greater in preference. 21
وَلَلْءَاخِرَةُ أَكْبَرُ دَرَجَٰتٍۢ وَأَكْبَرُ تَفْضِيلًۭا -
Do not place, alongside God, another deity, or you would find yourself blamed, abandoned. 22
لَّا تَجْعَلْ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَقْعُدَ مَذْمُومًۭا مَّخْذُولًۭا -
Your Guardian has decreed that you obey none but Him, 23
وَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِيَّاهُ -
and kindness toward one's two parents. 23
وَبِٱلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ إِحْسَٰنًا -
If either of them, or both, reach old age with you, do not say to them "ugh!" and do not rebuke them, 23
إِمَّا يَبْلُغَنَّ عِندَكَ ٱلْكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَآ أَوْ كِلَاهُمَا فَلَا تَقُل لَّهُمَآ أُفٍّۢ وَلَا تَنْهَرْهُمَا -
but speak to them a noble word. 23
وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوْلًۭا كَرِيمًۭا -
And lower for them the wing of humility, out of tenderness, 24
وَٱخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ ٱلذُّلِّ مِنَ ٱلرَّحْمَةِ -
and say: "My Guardian, have benevolence on them as they raised me when I was small." 24
وَقُل رَّبِّ ٱرْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِى صَغِيرًۭا -
Your Guardian knows best what is in your Self.i 25
رَّبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِى نُفُوسِكُمْ -
If you are righteous, He is, toward those who turn back to Him, most forgiving. 25
إِن تَكُونُوا۟ صَٰلِحِينَ فَإِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِلْأَوَّٰبِينَ غَفُورًۭا -
And give to the close relative his due, and to the destitute and the traveler on the road,i 26
وَءَاتِ ذَا ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ حَقَّهُۥ وَٱلْمِسْكِينَ وَٱبْنَ ٱلسَّبِيلِ -
and do not squander wastefully. 26
وَلَا تُبَذِّرْ تَبْذِيرًا -
Those who squander are the brothers of the Diverters,i 27
إِنَّ ٱلْمُبَذِّرِينَ كَانُوٓا۟ إِخْوَٰنَ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ -
and the Diverter is, toward his Guardian, a great denier.i 27
وَكَانَ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ لِرَبِّهِۦ كَفُورًۭا -
And if you must turn away from them, seeking a benevolence from your Guardian that you hope for, then speak to them an easy word. 28
وَإِمَّا تُعْرِضَنَّ عَنْهُمُ ٱبْتِغَآءَ رَحْمَةٍۢ مِّن رَّبِّكَ تَرْجُوهَا فَقُل لَّهُمْ قَوْلًۭا مَّيْسُورًۭا -
Do not keep your hand chained to your neck, nor stretch it out completely, or you would find yourself blamed, overwhelmed with regret. 29
وَلَا تَجْعَلْ يَدَكَ مَغْلُولَةً إِلَىٰ عُنُقِكَ وَلَا تَبْسُطْهَا كُلَّ ٱلْبَسْطِ فَتَقْعُدَ مَلُومًۭا مَّحْسُورًا -
Your Guardian extends provision to whom He wills, and He measures it; 30
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَبْسُطُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَقْدِرُ -
He is, toward His obedient ones, Informed and Seeing. 30
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِۦ خَبِيرًۢا بَصِيرًۭا -
Do not kill your children for fear of poverty:i 31
وَلَا تَقْتُلُوٓا۟ أَوْلَٰدَكُمْ خَشْيَةَ إِمْلَٰقٍۢ -
it is We who provide for them, as for you. 31
نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُهُمْ وَإِيَّاكُمْ -
Killing them is indeed a great fault. 31
إِنَّ قَتْلَهُمْ كَانَ خِطْـًۭٔا كَبِيرًۭا -
Do not approach fornication: it is an indecency, and what a detestable path!i 32
وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا۟ ٱلزِّنَىٰٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فَٰحِشَةًۭ وَسَآءَ سَبِيلًۭا -
And do not kill the Self which God has made sacred, except in truth.i 33
وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا۟ ٱلنَّفْسَ ٱلَّتِى حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ -
Whoever is killed unjustly, We have granted the legal authority [in charge] an authority; but let him not exceed the bound in taking life,i 33
وَمَن قُتِلَ مَظْلُومًۭا فَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا لِوَلِيِّهِۦ سُلْطَٰنًۭا فَلَا يُسْرِف فِّى ٱلْقَتْلِ -
for he will be helped. 33
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مَنصُورًۭا -
Do not approach the orphan's wealth, except in the best manner, until he reaches his full maturity, 34
وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا۟ مَالَ ٱلْيَتِيمِ إِلَّا بِٱلَّتِى هِىَ أَحْسَنُ حَتَّىٰ يَبْلُغَ أَشُدَّهُۥ -
and keep the covenant, 34
وَأَوْفُوا۟ بِٱلْعَهْدِ -
for the covenant will be questioned. 34
إِنَّ ٱلْعَهْدَ كَانَ مَسْـُٔولًۭا -
Give full measure when you measure, and weigh with the straight balance: 35
وَأَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْكَيْلَ إِذَا كِلْتُمْ وَزِنُوا۟ بِٱلْقِسْطَاسِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِ -
that is better, and finer in outcome. 35
ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌۭ وَأَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيلًۭا -
Do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge: 36
وَلَا تَقْفُ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلْمٌ -
hearing, sight, and the Conscience — of all that, account will be asked.i 36
إِنَّ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْبَصَرَ وَٱلْفُؤَادَ كُلُّ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ كَانَ عَنْهُ مَسْـُٔولًۭا -
And do not walk upon the earth with insolence: 37
وَلَا تَمْشِ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مَرَحًا -
you will never split the earth, nor reach the mountains in height. 37
إِنَّكَ لَن تَخْرِقَ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَلَن تَبْلُغَ ٱلْجِبَالَ طُولًۭا -
All that, its evil is, with your Guardian, detestable. 38
كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ كَانَ سَيِّئُهُۥ عِندَ رَبِّكَ مَكْرُوهًۭا ورش قالون البزي قنبل الدوري السوسي -
That is what your Guardian has revealed to you of wisdom.i 39
ذَٰلِكَ مِمَّآ أَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَيْكَ رَبُّكَ مِنَ ٱلْحِكْمَةِ -
Do not place, alongside God, another deity, or you would be cast into Jahannam, blamed, driven away. 39
وَلَا تَجْعَلْ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتُلْقَىٰ فِى جَهَنَّمَ مَلُومًۭا مَّدْحُورًا -
Has your Guardian then favored you with sons, and taken, among the Agents, daughters?i 40
أَفَأَصْفَىٰكُمْ رَبُّكُم بِٱلْبَنِينَ وَٱتَّخَذَ مِنَ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِنَٰثًا -
You are indeed uttering an enormous word. 40
إِنَّكُمْ لَتَقُولُونَ قَوْلًا عَظِيمًۭا -
We have indeed diversified, in this Recitation, [Our words] so that they might remember; but it only increases their aversion. 41
وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِى هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانِ لِيَذَّكَّرُوا۟ وَمَا يَزِيدُهُمْ إِلَّا نُفُورًۭا -
Say: "If there were, with Him, deities, as you say, they would then have sought a way to the Holder of the Edifice."i 42
قُل لَّوْ كَانَ مَعَهُۥٓ ءَالِهَةٌۭ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ إِذًۭا لَّٱبْتَغَوْا۟ إِلَىٰ ذِى ٱلْعَرْشِ سَبِيلًۭا ورش شعبة قالون الدوري السوسي -
Glory be to Him, and He is exalted, above what they say, in immense exaltation.i 43
سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ عُلُوًّۭا كَبِيرًۭا -
The seven heavens glorify Him, as does the earth and those within it;i 44
تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ ٱلسَّبْعُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ ورش شعبة قالون البزي قنبل -
there is nothing that does not glorify Him in praise, 44
وَإِن مِّن شَىْءٍ إِلَّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِهِۦ -
but you do not understand their glorification. 44
وَلَٰكِن لَّا تَفْقَهُونَ تَسْبِيحَهُمْ -
He is thoughtful, most forgiving.i 44
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًۭا -
And when you recite the Recitation, We place between you and those who do not believe in the last life a hidden veil,i 45
وَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ جَعَلْنَا بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْءَاخِرَةِ حِجَابًۭا مَّسْتُورًۭا -
and We place over their Cores veils, [preventing them] from understanding it, and in their ears a deafness.i 46
وَجَعَلْنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَن يَفْقَهُوهُ وَفِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًۭا -
And when you mention your Guardian in the Recitation, Him alone, they turn their backs in aversion.i 46
وَإِذَا ذَكَرْتَ رَبَّكَ فِى ٱلْقُرْءَانِ وَحْدَهُۥ وَلَّوْا۟ عَلَىٰٓ أَدْبَٰرِهِمْ نُفُورًۭا -
We know best what they listen for, when they listen to you, and when they are in private converse, when the wrongdoers say: "You follow none but a man abused by illusion."i 47
نَّحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَسْتَمِعُونَ بِهِۦٓ إِذْ يَسْتَمِعُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَإِذْ هُمْ نَجْوَىٰٓ إِذْ يَقُولُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا رَجُلًۭا مَّسْحُورًا -
See how they have multiplied examples against you, and so gone astray:i 48
ٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ ضَرَبُوا۟ لَكَ ٱلْأَمْثَالَ فَضَلُّوا۟ -
so they cannot find a way. 48
فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ سَبِيلًۭا -
And they said: "When we are bones and fragments, shall we really be raised in a new creation?" 49
وَقَالُوٓا۟ أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًۭا وَرُفَٰتًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ خَلْقًۭا جَدِيدًۭا -
Say: "Be stone, or iron, or any creation that looms great in your minds,i 51
قُلْ كُونُوا۟ حِجَارَةً أَوْ حَدِيدًا أَوْ خَلْقًۭا مِّمَّا يَكْبُرُ فِى صُدُورِكُمْ -
They will then say: 'Who will bring us back?' 51
فَسَيَقُولُونَ مَن يُعِيدُنَا -
Say: 'He who fashioned you the first time.' 51
قُلِ ٱلَّذِى فَطَرَكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۢ -
Then they will shake their heads at you and say: 'When will that be?' 51
فَسَيُنْغِضُونَ إِلَيْكَ رُءُوسَهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هُوَ -
Say: 'It may well be near. 51
قُلْ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ قَرِيبًۭا -
The Day He calls you, you will respond in praise of Him, and you will think you had stayed only a little [while]." 52
يَوْمَ يَدْعُوكُمْ فَتَسْتَجِيبُونَ بِحَمْدِهِۦ وَتَظُنُّونَ إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًۭا -
And tell My obedient ones to say what is best: 53
وَقُل لِّعِبَادِى يَقُولُوا۟ ٱلَّتِى هِىَ أَحْسَنُ -
the Diverter sows discord among them;i 53
إِنَّ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنَ يَنزَغُ بَيْنَهُمْ -
the Diverter is, to the human being, a declared enemy.i 53
إِنَّ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنَ كَانَ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ عَدُوًّۭا مُّبِينًۭا -
Your Guardian knows you best; if He wills, He shows you benevolence, and if He wills, He punishes you. 54
رَّبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ إِن يَشَأْ يَرْحَمْكُمْ أَوْ إِن يَشَأْ يُعَذِّبْكُمْ -
We have not sent you to be their agent.i 54
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَٰكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَكِيلًۭا -
Your Guardian knows best those who are in the heavens and the earth. 55
وَرَبُّكَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ -
We have indeed favored some prophets over others, and We gave Dawud the Formulary.i 55
وَلَقَدْ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ وَءَاتَيْنَا دَاوُۥدَ زَبُورًۭا -
Say: "Invoke those you claim [to be divine] besides Him: they have no power to remove harm from you, nor to divert it." 56
قُلِ ٱدْعُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ فَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ كَشْفَ ٱلضُّرِّ عَنكُمْ وَلَا تَحْوِيلًا -
Those very ones they invoke seek, toward their Guardian, the means of approach — whichever of them is nearest — and hope for His benevolence and fear His punishment,i 57
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ يَبْتَغُونَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمُ ٱلْوَسِيلَةَ أَيُّهُمْ أَقْرَبُ وَيَرْجُونَ رَحْمَتَهُۥ وَيَخَافُونَ عَذَابَهُۥٓ -
for your Guardian's punishment is indeed to be feared. 57
إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ كَانَ مَحْذُورًۭا -
There is not a city but We shall destroy it before the Day of Appearance, or punish it with a severe punishment:i 58
وَإِن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا نَحْنُ مُهْلِكُوهَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ أَوْ مُعَذِّبُوهَا عَذَابًۭا شَدِيدًۭا -
that is inscribed in the register.i 58
كَانَ ذَٰلِكَ فِى ٱلْكِتَٰبِ مَسْطُورًۭا -
Nothing has kept Us from sending the signs, except that the former peoples denied them. 59
وَمَا مَنَعَنَآ أَن نُّرْسِلَ بِٱلْءَايَٰتِ إِلَّآ أَن كَذَّبَ بِهَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ -
We gave the Depleters [Thamud] the she-camel, as clear evidence, but they wronged her. 59
وَءَاتَيْنَا ثَمُودَ ٱلنَّاقَةَ مُبْصِرَةًۭ فَظَلَمُوا۟ بِهَا -
And We send the signs only as a warning. 59
وَمَا نُرْسِلُ بِٱلْءَايَٰتِ إِلَّا تَخْوِيفًۭا -
And [recall] when We told you that your Guardian encompasses the people [in His knowledge] — 60
وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لَكَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ أَحَاطَ بِٱلنَّاسِ -
We made the vision that We showed you only a trial for the people, as also the cursed tree in this Recitation.i 60
وَمَا جَعَلْنَا ٱلرُّءْيَا ٱلَّتِىٓ أَرَيْنَٰكَ إِلَّا فِتْنَةًۭ لِّلنَّاسِ وَٱلشَّجَرَةَ ٱلْمَلْعُونَةَ فِى ٱلْقُرْءَانِ السوسي -
And We warn them, but it only increases their immense excess. 60
وَنُخَوِّفُهُمْ فَمَا يَزِيدُهُمْ إِلَّا طُغْيَٰنًۭا كَبِيرًۭا -
And [recall] when We said to the Agents: "Prostrate before Adam," they prostrated,i 61
وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِءَادَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓا۟ -
except the Despairing One [Iblis]: he said: "Shall I prostrate before one You created from clay?"i 61
إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ قَالَ ءَأَسْجُدُ لِمَنْ خَلَقْتَ طِينًۭا -
He said: "Do You see this one You have honored above me? If You give me respite until the Day of Appearance, I shall surely seize his progeny, except a few."i 62
قَالَ أَرَءَيْتَكَ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كَرَّمْتَ عَلَىَّ لَئِنْ أَخَّرْتَنِ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ لَأَحْتَنِكَنَّ ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥٓ إِلَّا قَلِيلًۭا -
He said: "Go! Whoever among them follows you — Jahannam will be your recompense, an abundant recompense.i 63
قَالَ ٱذْهَبْ فَمَن تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ فَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ جَزَآؤُكُمْ جَزَآءًۭ مَّوْفُورًۭا -
Rouse, by your voice, whomever you can among them; rally against them your cavalry and your infantry; share with them in wealth and children; and make them promises — 64
وَٱسْتَفْزِزْ مَنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتَ مِنْهُم بِصَوْتِكَ وَأَجْلِبْ عَلَيْهِم بِخَيْلِكَ وَرَجِلِكَ وَشَارِكْهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَمْوَٰلِ وَٱلْأَوْلَٰدِ وَعِدْهُمْ -
but the Diverter promises them nothing but delusion.i 64
وَمَا يَعِدُهُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ إِلَّا غُرُورًا -
Over My obedient ones, you have no authority; 65
إِنَّ عِبَادِى لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَٰنٌۭ -
and your Guardian suffices as agent."i 65
وَكَفَىٰ بِرَبِّكَ وَكِيلًۭا -
Your Guardian is the One who makes the vessel glide for you on the sea, so that you may seek His favor. 66
رَّبُّكُمُ ٱلَّذِى يُزْجِى لَكُمُ ٱلْفُلْكَ فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ لِتَبْتَغُوا۟ مِن فَضْلِهِۦٓ -
He is, toward you, full of benevolence. 66
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيمًۭا -
And when harm touches you at sea, those you invoke abandon you, except Him. 67
وَإِذَا مَسَّكُمُ ٱلضُّرُّ فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ ضَلَّ مَن تَدْعُونَ إِلَّآ إِيَّاهُ -
Then, when He saves you to dry land, you turn away: 67
فَلَمَّا نَجَّىٰكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّ أَعْرَضْتُمْ -
the human being is a great denier.i 67
وَكَانَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ كَفُورًا -
Are you then sure He will not cause a part of the dry land to swallow you, or send upon you a shower of stones, leaving you then to find no agent? Or are you sure He will not bring you back into it another time, to send upon you a shattering wind that drowns you, for your denial, leaving you then to find no one to pursue Us on your behalf?i 69
أَفَأَمِنتُمْ أَن يَخْسِفَ بِكُمْ جَانِبَ ٱلْبَرِّ أَوْ يُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَاصِبًۭا ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُوا۟ لَكُمْ وَكِيلًا أَمْ أَمِنتُمْ أَن يُعِيدَكُمْ فِيهِ تَارَةً أُخْرَىٰ فَيُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ قَاصِفًۭا مِّنَ ٱلرِّيحِ فَيُغْرِقَكُم بِمَا كَفَرْتُمْ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُوا۟ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا بِهِۦ تَبِيعًۭا البزي قنبل الدوري السوسي -
We have indeed honored the sons of Adam, carried them on land and sea, provided them with good things, and preferred them, in preference, over many of those We have created.i 70
وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ وَحَمَلْنَٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْبَرِّ وَٱلْبَحْرِ وَرَزَقْنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ وَفَضَّلْنَٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ كَثِيرٍۢ مِّمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا تَفْضِيلًۭا -
The Day We call every group of people with their reference,i 71
يَوْمَ نَدْعُوا۟ كُلَّ أُنَاسٍۭ بِإِمَٰمِهِمْ -
whoever is given his register in his right hand — those will read their register, and not be wronged a hair's breadth.i 71
فَمَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يَقْرَءُونَ كِتَٰبَهُمْ وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ فَتِيلًۭا -
And whoever is blind in this [life] will be blind in the last life, and further astray in path. 72
وَمَن كَانَ فِى هَٰذِهِۦٓ أَعْمَىٰ فَهُوَ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ أَعْمَىٰ وَأَضَلُّ سَبِيلًۭا -
They have indeed nearly tried you, [to turn you away] from what We revealed to you, so that you might invent against Us something else; 73
وَإِن كَادُوا۟ لَيَفْتِنُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ لِتَفْتَرِىَ عَلَيْنَا غَيْرَهُۥ -
and then, they would have taken you as an intimate friend.i 73
وَإِذًۭا لَّٱتَّخَذُوكَ خَلِيلًۭا -
And had We not made you firm, you would well nigh have inclined toward them, a little. 74
وَلَوْلَآ أَن ثَبَّتْنَٰكَ لَقَدْ كِدتَّ تَرْكَنُ إِلَيْهِمْ شَيْـًۭٔا قَلِيلًا -
We would then have made you taste double [the punishment] of life and double [the punishment] of death; then you would have found, against Us, no helper. 75
إِذًۭا لَّأَذَقْنَٰكَ ضِعْفَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ وَضِعْفَ ٱلْمَمَاتِ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُ لَكَ عَلَيْنَا نَصِيرًۭا -
They have indeed nearly shaken you out of this land, to drive you out of it — 76
وَإِن كَادُوا۟ لَيَسْتَفِزُّونَكَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ لِيُخْرِجُوكَ مِنْهَا -
and then, they would not have remained after you, except a little.i 76
وَإِذًۭا لَّا يَلْبَثُونَ خِلَٰفَكَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًۭا ورش شعبة قالون البزي قنبل الدوري السوسي -
Such is the constant rule concerning those We sent before you among Our messengers, 77
سُنَّةَ مَن قَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ مِن رُّسُلِنَا -
and you will find no change to Our rule. 77
وَلَا تَجِدُ لِسُنَّتِنَا تَحْوِيلًا -
Maintain the Contact from the sun's decline until the darkness of night, and the Recitation of dawn:i 78
أَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ لِدُلُوكِ ٱلشَّمْسِ إِلَىٰ غَسَقِ ٱلَّيْلِ وَقُرْءَانَ ٱلْفَجْرِ -
the recitation of dawn is indeed witnessed. 78
إِنَّ قُرْءَانَ ٱلْفَجْرِ كَانَ مَشْهُودًۭا -
And for part of the night, keep vigil with it, as an addition for you: it may be that your Guardian will raise you to a praised station. 79
وَمِنَ ٱلَّيْلِ فَتَهَجَّدْ بِهِۦ نَافِلَةًۭ لَّكَ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَبْعَثَكَ رَبُّكَ مَقَامًۭا مَّحْمُودًۭا -
And say: "My Guardian, cause me to enter by an entrance of truth, and cause me to exit by an exit of truth, and grant me, from Yourself, a supporting authority." 80
وَقُل رَّبِّ أَدْخِلْنِى مُدْخَلَ صِدْقٍۢ وَأَخْرِجْنِى مُخْرَجَ صِدْقٍۢ وَٱجْعَل لِّى مِن لَّدُنكَ سُلْطَٰنًۭا نَّصِيرًۭا -
And say: "The truth has come, and falsehood has vanished: 81
وَقُلْ جَآءَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ ٱلْبَٰطِلُ -
falsehood is bound to vanish." 81
إِنَّ ٱلْبَٰطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوقًۭا -
And We send down, from this Recitation, that which is healing and benevolence for the believers,i 82
وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ ٱلْقُرْءَانِ مَا هُوَ شِفَآءٌۭ وَرَحْمَةٌۭ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ -
but it only increases the wrongdoers in loss. 82
وَلَا يَزِيدُ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا خَسَارًۭا -
And when We favor the human being with blessings, he turns away and withdraws to his side; 83
وَإِذَآ أَنْعَمْنَا عَلَى ٱلْإِنسَٰنِ أَعْرَضَ وَنَـَٔا بِجَانِبِهِۦ -
and when harm touches him, he is despairing.i 83
وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ كَانَ يَـُٔوسًۭا -
Say: "Each one acts according to his own manner; your Guardian knows best who is best guided in path."i 84
قُلْ كُلٌّۭ يَعْمَلُ عَلَىٰ شَاكِلَتِهِۦ فَرَبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ هُوَ أَهْدَىٰ سَبِيلًۭا -
And they ask you about the Influx.i 85
وَيَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلرُّوحِ -
Say: "The Influx is of my Guardian's affair; and you have been given of knowledge only a little." 85
قُلِ ٱلرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّى وَمَآ أُوتِيتُم مِّنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًۭا -
And if We willed, We would surely take away what We have revealed to you; then you would find, against Us, no agent for it — except a benevolence from your Guardian.i 87
وَلَئِن شِئْنَا لَنَذْهَبَنَّ بِٱلَّذِىٓ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُ لَكَ بِهِۦ عَلَيْنَا وَكِيلًا إِلَّا رَحْمَةًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ -
His favor toward you is indeed immense. 87
إِنَّ فَضْلَهُۥ كَانَ عَلَيْكَ كَبِيرًۭا -
Say: "If humans and the Occulted united to produce the equal of this Recitation, they would not produce its equal, even were they mutual support to one another."i 88
قُل لَّئِنِ ٱجْتَمَعَتِ ٱلْإِنسُ وَٱلْجِنُّ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَأْتُوا۟ بِمِثْلِ هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانِ لَا يَأْتُونَ بِمِثْلِهِۦ وَلَوْ كَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍۢ ظَهِيرًۭا -
We have indeed diversified for the people, in this Recitation, every kind of example; but most people persisted in nothing but denial.i 89
وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِى هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍۢ فَأَبَىٰٓ أَكْثَرُ ٱلنَّاسِ إِلَّا كُفُورًۭا -
And they said: "We will not believe in you until you make a spring gush forth for us from the earth, or you have a garden of palm trees and vines in which you make rivers gush forth abundantly, or you make the sky fall upon us in pieces as you claim, or you bring God and the Agents before us, or you have a house of ornament, or you ascend to the sky — and we will not believe even in your ascent until you bring down upon us a register we can read."i 93
وَقَالُوا۟ لَن نُّؤْمِنَ لَكَ حَتَّىٰ تَفْجُرَ لَنَا مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ يَنۢبُوعًا أَوْ تَكُونَ لَكَ جَنَّةٌۭ مِّن نَّخِيلٍۢ وَعِنَبٍۢ فَتُفَجِّرَ ٱلْأَنْهَٰرَ خِلَٰلَهَا تَفْجِيرًا أَوْ تُسْقِطَ ٱلسَّمَآءَ كَمَا زَعَمْتَ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًا أَوْ تَأْتِىَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ قَبِيلًا أَوْ يَكُونَ لَكَ بَيْتٌۭ مِّن زُخْرُفٍ أَوْ تَرْقَىٰ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَلَن نُّؤْمِنَ لِرُقِيِّكَ حَتَّىٰ تُنَزِّلَ عَلَيْنَا كِتَٰبًۭا نَّقْرَؤُهُۥ -
Say: "Exalted is my Guardian! Am I anything but a human being, a messenger?"i 93
قُلْ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّى هَلْ كُنتُ إِلَّا بَشَرًۭا رَّسُولًۭا البزي قنبل -
And nothing kept the people from believing, when guidance came to them, except that they said: "Would God have sent a human being as a messenger?" 94
وَمَا مَنَعَ ٱلنَّاسَ أَن يُؤْمِنُوٓا۟ إِذْ جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوٓا۟ أَبَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ بَشَرًۭا رَّسُولًۭا -
Say: "Had there been on earth Agents walking about in tranquility, We would have sent down to them, from the sky, an Agent, as messenger."i 95
قُل لَّوْ كَانَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مَلَٰٓئِكَةٌۭ يَمْشُونَ مُطْمَئِنِّينَ لَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَلَكًۭا رَّسُولًۭا -
Say: "God suffices as witness between me and you: 96
قُلْ كَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ شَهِيدًۢا بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكُمْ -
He is, toward His obedient ones, Informed and Seeing." 96
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِۦ خَبِيرًۢا بَصِيرًۭا -
Whoever God guides, he is the rightly guided, 97
وَمَن يَهْدِ ٱللَّهُ فَهُوَ ٱلْمُهْتَدِ -
and whoever He lets go astray, you will never find for them allies besides Him. 97
وَمَن يُضْلِلْ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُمْ أَوْلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِهِۦ -
And We shall gather them, on the Day of Appearance, upon their faces, blind, dumb, and deaf:i 97
وَنَحْشُرُهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمْ عُمْيًۭا وَبُكْمًۭا وَصُمًّۭا -
their refuge will be Jahannam: 97
مَّأْوَىٰهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ -
every time it dies down, We revive for them the blaze.i 97
كُلَّمَا خَبَتْ زِدْنَٰهُمْ سَعِيرًۭا -
That is their reward, for having denied Our signs and said: "When we are bones and fragments, shall we really be raised in a new creation?" 98
ذَٰلِكَ جَزَآؤُهُم بِأَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَقَالُوٓا۟ أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًۭا وَرُفَٰتًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ خَلْقًۭا جَدِيدًا -
Have they not seen that God, who created the heavens and the earth, is able to create their like, and that He has appointed for them a term about which there is no doubt? 99
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ قَادِرٌ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَهُمْ أَجَلًۭا لَّا رَيْبَ فِيهِ السوسي -
But the wrongdoers persisted in nothing but denial. 99
فَأَبَى ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ إِلَّا كُفُورًۭا -
Say: "If you possessed the treasures of my Guardian's benevolence, you would then hold them back, for fear of spending." 100
قُل لَّوْ أَنتُمْ تَمْلِكُونَ خَزَآئِنَ رَحْمَةِ رَبِّىٓ إِذًۭا لَّأَمْسَكْتُمْ خَشْيَةَ ٱلْإِنفَاقِ -
The human being is stingy. 100
وَكَانَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ قَتُورًۭا -
We have indeed given Moussa nine clear signs:i 101
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ تِسْعَ ءَايَٰتٍۭ بَيِّنَٰتٍۢ -
so ask the Children of Israel: when he came to them, Fir'awn said to him: "I think you are indeed abused by illusion, O Moussa."i 101
فَسْـَٔلْ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ إِذْ جَآءَهُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُۥ فِرْعَوْنُ إِنِّى لَأَظُنُّكَ يَٰمُوسَىٰ مَسْحُورًۭا -
He said: "You well know that none but the Guardian of the heavens and the earth has sent down these enlightening proofs,i 102
قَالَ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَآ أَنزَلَ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ إِلَّا رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ بَصَآئِرَ -
and I think you are indeed ruined, O Fir'awn."i 102
وَإِنِّى لَأَظُنُّكَ يَٰفِرْعَوْنُ مَثْبُورًۭا -
He then wanted to shake them out of that land; but We drowned him, and all those with him. 103
فَأَرَادَ أَن يَسْتَفِزَّهُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ فَأَغْرَقْنَٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ جَمِيعًۭا -
And We said after him to the Children of Israel: "Dwell in this land," 104
وَقُلْنَا مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ لِبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱسْكُنُوا۟ ٱلْأَرْضَ -
then, when the promise of the second time comes, We shall bring you all together, mingled.i 104
فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعْدُ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ جِئْنَا بِكُمْ لَفِيفًۭا -
With truth We sent it down, 105
وَبِٱلْحَقِّ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ -
and with truth it descended; 105
وَبِٱلْحَقِّ نَزَلَ -
and We have sent you only as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner. 105
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَٰكَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرًۭا وَنَذِيرًۭا -
And a Recitation that We have divided, so that you recite it to the people gradually,i 106
وَقُرْءَانًۭا فَرَقْنَٰهُ لِتَقْرَأَهُۥ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ عَلَىٰ مُكْثٍۢ -
and We have sent it down by successive stages. 106
وَنَزَّلْنَٰهُ تَنزِيلًۭا -
Say: "Believe in it, or do not believe: 107
قُلْ ءَامِنُوا۟ بِهِۦٓ أَوْ لَا تُؤْمِنُوٓا۟ -
those to whom knowledge was given before it, when it is recited to them, fall prostrate on their chins, saying: 'Glory to our Guardian! Our Guardian's promise is indeed fulfilled.' 108
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمَ مِن قَبْلِهِۦٓ إِذَا يُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ يَخِرُّونَ لِلْأَذْقَانِ سُجَّدًۭا وَيَقُولُونَ سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّنَآ إِن كَانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّنَا لَمَفْعُولًۭا -
And they fall on their chins, weeping, and it increases their humility. 109
وَيَخِرُّونَ لِلْأَذْقَانِ يَبْكُونَ وَيَزِيدُهُمْ خُشُوعًۭا -
Say: "Invoke God, or invoke the All-Benevolent: 110
قُلِ ٱدْعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ أَوِ ٱدْعُوا۟ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنَ -
whichever [name] you invoke, to Him belong the most beautiful attributes."i 110
أَيًّۭا مَّا تَدْعُوا۟ فَلَهُ ٱلْأَسْمَآءُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ -
Do not raise your voice too much in your Contact, nor whisper it either: seek, between the two, a path.i 110
وَلَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا وَٱبْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ سَبِيلًۭا -
And say: "Praise be to God, who has not taken a child, who has no associate in sovereignty, and who needs no protector out of any weakness," 111
وَقُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَدًۭا وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ شَرِيكٌۭ فِى ٱلْمُلْكِ وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ وَلِىٌّۭ مِّنَ ٱلذُّلِّ -
and proclaim His greatness, fully. 111
وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيرًۢا
