17:8

12. We have made the night and the day two wonders. We erased the wonder of the night, and made the wonder of the day revealing, that you may seek bounty from your Lord, and know the number of years, and the calculation. We have explained all things in detail.

وَكُلَّ اِنْسَانٍ اَلْزَمْنٰهُ طٰۤىِٕرَهٗ فِيْ عُنُقِهٖۗ وَنُخْرِجُ لَهٗ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ كِتٰبًا يَّلْقٰىهُ مَنْشُوْرًا ۝١٣

Iqro' kitābak, kafā binafsikal-yauma ‘alaika ḥasībā

14. “Read your book; today there will be none but yourself to call you to account.”

17:15

مَنِ اهْتَدٰى فَاِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِيْ لِنَفْسِهٖۚ وَمَنْ ضَلَّ فَاِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَاۗ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِّزْرَ اُخْرٰىۗ وَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِيْنَ حَتّٰى نَبْعَثَ رَسُوْلًا ۝١٥

17:16

وَاِذَآ اَرَدْنَآ اَنْ نُّهْلِكَ قَرْيَةً اَمَرْنَا مُتْرَفِيْهَا فَفَسَقُوْا فِيْهَا فَحَقَّ عَلَيْهَا الْقَوْلُ فَدَمَّرْنٰهَا تَدْمِيْرًا ۝١٦

وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا مِنَ الْقُرُوْنِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ نُوْحٍۗ وَكَفٰى بِرَبِّكَ بِذُنُوْبِ عِبَادِهٖ خَبِيْرًاۢ بَصِيْرًا ۝١٧

Wa kam ahlaknā minal-qurūni mim ba‘di nūḥ, wa kafā birobbika biżunūbi ‘ibādihī khobīrom baṣīrō

17. How many generations have We destroyed after Noah? Your Lord is sufficient as Knower and Beholder of the sins of His servants.

17:18

مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيْدُ الْعَاجِلَةَ عَجَّلْنَا لَهٗ فِيْهَا مَا نَشَاۤءُ لِمَنْ نُّرِيْدُ ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا لَهٗ جَهَنَّمَۚ يَصْلٰىهَا مَذْمُوْمًا مَّدْحُوْرًا ۝١٨

تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ السَّمٰوٰتُ السَّبْعُ وَالْاَرْضُ وَمَنْ فِيْهِنَّۗ وَاِنْ مِّنْ شَيْءٍ اِلَّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِهٖ وَلٰكِنْ لَّا تَفْقَهُوْنَ تَسْبِيْحَهُمْۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ حَلِيْمًا غَفُوْرًا ۝٤٤

Tusabbiḥu lahus-samāwātus-sab‘u wal-arḍu wa man fīhinn, wa im min syai'in illā yusabbiḥu biḥamdihī wa lākil lā tafqohūna tasbīḥahum, innahū kāna ḥalīman ghofūrō

44. Praising Him are the seven heavens, and the earth, and everyone in them. There is not a thing that does not glorify Him with praise, but you do not understand their praises. He is indeed Forbearing and Forgiving.

17:45

وَاِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْاٰنَ جَعَلْنَا بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ حِجَابًا مَّسْتُوْرًاۙ ۝٤٥

Wa iżā qoro'tal-qur'āna ja‘alnā bainaka wa bainal-lażīna lā yu'minūna bil-ākhiroti ḥijābam mastūrō

45. When you read the Quran, We place between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter an invisible barrier.

17:46

وَّجَعَلْنَا عَلٰى قُلُوْبِهِمْ اَكِنَّةً اَنْ يَّفْقَهُوْهُ وَفِيْٓ اٰذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًاۗ وَاِذَا ذَكَرْتَ رَبَّكَ فِى الْقُرْاٰنِ وَحْدَهٗ وَلَّوْا عَلٰٓى اَدْبَارِهِمْ نُفُوْرًا ۝٤٦

Wa ja‘alnā ‘alā qulūbihim akinnatan ay yafqohūhu wa fī āżānihim waqrō, wa iżā żakarta robbaka fil-qur'āni waḥdahū wallau ‘alā adbārihim nufūrō

46. And We drape veils over their hearts, preventing them from understanding it, and heaviness in their ears. And when you mention your Lord alone in the Quran, they turn their backs in aversion.

17:47

نَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَسْتَمِعُوْنَ بِهٖٓ اِذْ يَسْتَمِعُوْنَ اِلَيْكَ وَاِذْ هُمْ نَجْوٰٓى اِذْ يَقُوْلُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ اِنْ تَتَّبِعُوْنَ اِلَّا رَجُلًا مَّسْحُوْرًا ۝٤٧

Naḥnu a‘lamu bimā yastami‘ūna bihī iż yastami‘ūna ilaika wa iż hum najwā iż yaqūluẓ-ẓōlimūna in tattabi‘ūna illā rojulam masḥūrō

47. We know well what they listen to, when they listen to you, as they conspire, when the wrongdoers say, “You only follow a man bewitched.”

17:48

اُنْظُرْ كَيْفَ ضَرَبُوْا لَكَ الْاَمْثَالَ فَضَلُّوْا فَلَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ سَبِيْلًا ۝٤٨

Unẓur kaifa ḍorobū lakal-amṡāla fa ḍollū falā yastaṭī‘ūna sabīlā

48. Note what they compared you to. They are lost, and unable to find a way.

17:49

وَقَالُوْٓا ءَاِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا وَّرُفَاتًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَبْعُوْثُوْنَ خَلْقًا جَدِيْدًا ۝٤٩

Wa qōlū a'iżā kunnā ‘iẓōmaw wa rufātan a'innā lamab‘ūṡūna kholqon jadīdā

49. And they say, “When we have become bones and fragments, shall we really be resurrected as a new creation?”

17:50

قُلْ كُوْنُوْا حِجَارَةً اَوْ حَدِيْدًاۙ ۝٥٠

Qul kūnū ḥijārotan au ḥadīdā

50. Say, “Even if you become rocks or iron.

17:51

اَوْ خَلْقًا مِّمَّا يَكْبُرُ فِيْ صُدُوْرِكُمْ ۚفَسَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَنْ يُّعِيْدُنَاۗ قُلِ الَّذِيْ فَطَرَكُمْ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۗ فَسَيُنْغِضُوْنَ اِلَيْكَ رُءُوْسَهُمْ وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰى هُوَۗ قُلْ عَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّكُوْنَ قَرِيْبًا ۝٥١

Au kholqom mimmā yakburu fī ṣudūrikum, fa sayaqūlūna may yu‘īdunā, qulil-lażī faṭorokum awwala marroh, fa sayun-ghiḍūna ilaika ru'ūsahum wa yaqūlūna matā huw, qul ‘asā ay yakūna qorībā

51. Or some substance, which, in your minds, is even harder.” Then they will say, “Who will restore us?” Say, “The One who originated you the first time.” Then they will nod their heads at you, and say, “When will it be?” Say, “Perhaps it will be soon.”

17:52

يَوْمَ يَدْعُوْكُمْ فَتَسْتَجِيْبُوْنَ بِحَمْدِهٖ وَتَظُنُّوْنَ اِنْ لَّبِثْتُمْ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا ࣖ ۝٥٢

Yauma yad‘ūkum fa tastajībūna biḥamdihī wa taẓunnūna il labiṡtum illā qolīlā

52. On the Day when He calls you, you will respond with His praise, and you will realize that you stayed only a little.

17:53

وَقُلْ لِّعِبَادِيْ يَقُوْلُوا الَّتِيْ هِيَ اَحْسَنُۗ اِنَّ الشَّيْطٰنَ يَنْزَغُ بَيْنَهُمْۗ اِنَّ الشَّيْطٰنَ كَانَ لِلْاِنْسَانِ عَدُوًّا مُّبِيْنًا ۝٥٣

Wa qul li‘ibādī yaqūlul-latī hiya aḥsan, innasy-syaiṭōna yanzaghu bainahum, innasy-syaiṭōna kāna lil-insāni ‘aduwwam mubīnā

53. Tell My servants to say what is best. Satan sows discord among them. Satan is to man an open enemy.

17:54

رَبُّكُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ اِنْ يَّشَأْ يَرْحَمْكُمْ اَوْ اِنْ يَّشَأْ يُعَذِّبْكُمْۗ وَمَآ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَكِيْلًا ۝٥٤

Robbukum a‘lamu bikum, iy yasya' yarḥamkum au iy yasya' yu‘ażżibkum, wa mā arsalnāka ‘alaihim wakīlā

54. Your Lord knows you best. If He wills, He will have mercy on you; and if He wills, He will punish you. We did not send you as their advocate.

17:55

وَرَبُّكَ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ وَلَقَدْ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَ النَّبِيّٖنَ عَلٰى بَعْضٍ وَّاٰتَيْنَا دَاوٗدَ زَبُوْرًا ۝٥٥

Wa robbuka a‘lamu biman fis-samāwāti wal-arḍ, wa laqod faḍḍolnā ba‘ḍon nabiyyīna ‘alā ba‘ḍiw wa ātainā dāwūda zabūrō

55. Your Lord knows well everyone in the heavens and the earth. We have given some prophets advantage over others; and to David We gave the Psalms.

17:56

قُلِ ادْعُوا الَّذِيْنَ زَعَمْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖ فَلَا يَمْلِكُوْنَ كَشْفَ الضُّرِّ عَنْكُمْ وَلَا تَحْوِيْلًا ۝٥٦

Qulid‘ul-lażīna za‘amtum min dūnihī falā yamlikūna kasyfaḍ-ḍurri ‘ankum wa lā taḥwīlā

56. Say, “Call upon those you claim besides Him. They have no power to relieve your adversity, nor can they change it.”

17:57

اُولٰۤىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ يَدْعُوْنَ يَبْتَغُوْنَ اِلٰى رَبِّهِمُ الْوَسِيْلَةَ اَيُّهُمْ اَقْرَبُ وَيَرْجُوْنَ رَحْمَتَهٗ وَيَخَافُوْنَ عَذَابَهٗۗ اِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ كَانَ مَحْذُوْرًا ۝٥٧

Ulā-ikal-lażīna yad‘ūna yabtaghūna ilā robbihimul-wasīlata ayyuhum aqrobu wa yarjūna roḥmatahū wa yakhōfūna ‘ażābah, inna ‘ażāba robbika kāna maḥżūrō

57. Those they call upon are themselves seeking means of access to their Lord, vying to be nearer, and hoping for His mercy, and fearing His punishment. The punishment of your Lord is to be dreaded.

17:58

وَاِنْ مِّنْ قَرْيَةٍ اِلَّا نَحْنُ مُهْلِكُوْهَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ اَوْ مُعَذِّبُوْهَا عَذَابًا شَدِيْدًاۗ كَانَ ذٰلِكَ فىِ الْكِتٰبِ مَسْطُوْرًا ۝٥٨

Wa im min qoryatin illā naḥnu muhlikūhā qobla yaumil-qiyāmati au mu‘ażżibūhā ‘ażāban syadīdā, kāna żālika fil-kitābi masṭūrō

58. There is no city but We will destroy before the Day of Resurrection, or punish it with a severe punishment. This is inscribed in the Book.

17:59

وَمَا مَنَعَنَآ اَنْ نُّرْسِلَ بِالْاٰيٰتِ اِلَّآ اَنْ كَذَّبَ بِهَا الْاَوَّلُوْنَۗ وَاٰتَيْنَا ثَمُوْدَ النَّاقَةَ مُبْصِرَةً فَظَلَمُوْا بِهَاۗ وَمَا نُرْسِلُ بِالْاٰيٰتِ اِلَّا تَخْوِيْفًا ۝٥٩

Wa mā mana‘anā an nursila bil-āyāti illā an każżaba bihal-awwalūn, wa ātainā ṡamūdan-nāqota mubṣirotan fa ẓolamū bihā, wa mā nursilu bil-āyāti illā takhwīfā

59. Nothing prevents Us from sending miraculous signs, except that the ancients called them lies. We gave Thamood the she-camel, a visible sign, but they mistreated her. We do not send the signs except to instill reverence.

17:60

وَاِذْ قُلْنَا لَكَ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ اَحَاطَ بِالنَّاسِۗ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الرُّءْيَا الَّتِيْٓ اَرَيْنٰكَ اِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِّلنَّاسِ وَالشَّجَرَةَ الْمَلْعُوْنَةَ فِى الْقُرْاٰنِ ۗ وَنُخَوِّفُهُمْۙ فَمَا يَزِيْدُهُمْ اِلَّا طُغْيَانًا كَبِيْرًا ࣖ ۝٦٠

Wa iż qulnā laka inna robbaka aḥāṭo bin-nās, wa mā ja‘alnar-ru'yal-latī aroināka illā fitnatal lin-nāsi wasy-syajarotal mal‘ūnata fil-qur'ān, wa nukhowwifuhum, famā yazīduhum illā ṭughyānan kabīrō

60. We said to you that your Lord encompasses humanity. We did not make the vision We showed you, except as a test for the people, and the tree cursed in the Quran. We frighten them, but that only increases their defiance.

17:61

وَاِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةِ اسْجُدُوْا لِاٰدَمَ فَسَجَدُوْٓا اِلَّآ اِبْلِيْسَۗ قَالَ ءَاَسْجُدُ لِمَنْ خَلَقْتَ طِيْنًاۚ ۝٦١

Wa iż qulnā lil-malā-ikatisjudū li'ādama fa sajadū illā iblīs, qōla a'asjudu liman kholaqta ṭīnā

61. When We said to the angels, “Bow down before Adam,” they bowed down, except for Satan. He said, “Shall I bow down before someone You created from mud?”

17:62

قَالَ اَرَاَيْتَكَ هٰذَا الَّذِيْ كَرَّمْتَ عَلَيَّ لَىِٕنْ اَخَّرْتَنِ اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ لَاَحْتَنِكَنَّ ذُرِّيَّتَهٗٓ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا ۝٦٢

Qōla aro'aitaka hāżal-lażī karromta ‘alayya la'in akhkhortani ilā yaumil-qiyāmati la'aḥtanikanna żurriyyatahū illā qolīlā

62. He said, “Do You see this one whom You have honored more than me? If You reprieve me until the Day of Resurrection, I will bring his descendants under my sway, except for a few.”

17:63

قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَمَنْ تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ فَاِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ جَزَاۤؤُكُمْ جَزَاۤءً مَّوْفُوْرًا ۝٦٣

Qōlażhab faman tabi‘aka minhum fa inna jahannama jazā-ukum jazā-am maufūrō

63. He said, “Begone! Whoever of them follows you—Hell is your reward, an ample reward.”

17:64

وَاسْتَفْزِزْ مَنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ مِنْهُمْ بِصَوْتِكَ وَاَجْلِبْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِخَيْلِكَ وَرَجِلِكَ وَشَارِكْهُمْ فِى الْاَمْوَالِ وَالْاَوْلَادِ وَعِدْهُمْۗ وَمَا يَعِدُهُمُ الشَّيْطٰنُ اِلَّا غُرُوْرًا ۝٦٤

Wastafziz manistaṭo‘ta minhum biṣoutika wa ajlib ‘alaihim bikhoilika wa rojilika wa syārikūhum fil-amwāli wal-aulādi wa ‘id-hum, wa mā ya‘iduhumusy-syaiṭōnu illā ghurūrō

64. “And entice whomever of them you can with your voice, and rally against them your cavalry and your infantry, and share with them in wealth and children, and make promises to them.” But Satan promises them nothing but delusion.

17:65

اِنَّ عِبَادِيْ لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطٰنٌۗ وَكَفٰى بِرَبِّكَ وَكِيْلًا ۝٦٥

Inna ‘ibādī laisa laka ‘alaihim sulṭōn, wa kafā birobbika wakīlā

65. “As for My devotees, you have no authority over them.” Your Lord is an adequate Guardian.

17:66

رَبُّكُمُ الَّذِيْ يُزْجِيْ لَكُمُ الْفُلْكَ فِى الْبَحْرِ لِتَبْتَغُوْا مِنْ فَضْلِهٖۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيْمًا ۝٦٦

Robbukumul-lażī yuzjī lakumul-fulka fil-baḥri litabtaghū min faḍlih, innahū kāna bikum roḥīmā

66. Your Lord is He who propels for you the ships at sea, that you may seek of His bounty. He is towards you Most Merciful.

17:67

وَاِذَا مَسَّكُمُ الضُّرُّ فِى الْبَحْرِ ضَلَّ مَنْ تَدْعُوْنَ اِلَّآ اِيَّاهُۚ فَلَمَّا نَجّٰىكُمْ اِلَى الْبَرِّ اَعْرَضْتُمْۗ وَكَانَ الْاِنْسَانُ كَفُوْرًا ۝٦٧

Wa iżā massakumuḍ-ḍurru fil-baḥri ḍolla man tad‘ūna illā iyyāh, falammā najjākum ilal-barri a‘roḍtum, wa kānal-insānu kafūrō

67. When harm afflicts you at sea, those you pray to vanish, except for Him. But when He saves you to land, you turn away. The human being is ever thankless.

17:68

اَفَاَمِنْتُمْ اَنْ يَّخْسِفَ بِكُمْ جَانِبَ الْبَرِّ اَوْ يُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَاصِبًا ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُوْا لَكُمْ وَكِيْلًا ۙ ۝٦٨

Afa amintum ay yakhsifa bikum jānibal-barri au yursila ‘alaikum ḥaṣiban ṡumma lā tajidū lakum wakīlā

68. Are you confident that He will not cause a tract of land to cave in beneath you, or unleash a tornado against you, and then you find no protector?

17:69

اَمْ اَمِنْتُمْ اَنْ يُّعِيْدَكُمْ فِيْهِ تَارَةً اُخْرٰى فَيُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ قَاصِفًا مِّنَ الرِّيْحِ فَيُغْرِقَكُمْ بِمَا كَفَرْتُمْۙ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُوْا لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا بِهٖ تَبِيْعًا ۝٦٩

Am amintum ay yu‘īdakum fīhi tārotan ukhrō fa yursila ‘alaikum qōṣifam minar-rīḥi fa yughriqokum bimā kafartum, ṡumma lā tajidū lakum ‘alainā bihī tabī‘ā

69. Or are you confident that He will not return you to it once again, and unleash a hurricane against you, and drown you for your ingratitude? Then you will find no helper against Us.

17:70

وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِيْٓ اٰدَمَ وَحَمَلْنٰهُمْ فِى الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ وَرَزَقْنٰهُمْ مِّنَ الطَّيِّبٰتِ وَفَضَّلْنٰهُمْ عَلٰى كَثِيْرٍ مِّمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا تَفْضِيْلًا ࣖ ۝٧٠

Wa laqod karromnā banī ādama wa ḥamalnāhum fil-barri wal-baḥri wa rozaqnāhum minaṭ-ṭoyyibāti wa faḍḍolnāhum ‘alā kaṡīrim mimman kholaqnā tafḍīlā

70. We have honored the Children of Adam, and carried them on land and sea, and provided them with good things, and greatly favored them over many of those We created.

17:71

يَوْمَ نَدْعُوْا كُلَّ اُنَاسٍۢ بِاِمَامِهِمْۚ فَمَنْ اُوْتِيَ كِتٰبَهٗ بِيَمِيْنِهٖ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ يَقْرَءُوْنَ كِتٰبَهُمْ وَلَا يُظْلَمُوْنَ فَتِيْلًا ۝٧١

Yauma nad‘ū kulla unāsim bi'imāmihim, faman ūtiya katābahū biyamīnihī fa ulā-ika yaqro'ūna kitābahum wa lā yuẓlamūna fatīlā

71. On the Day when We call every people with their leader. Whoever is given his record in his right hand—these will read their record, and they will not be wronged one bit.

17:72

وَمَنْ كَانَ فِيْ هٰذِهٖٓ اَعْمٰى فَهُوَ فِى الْاٰخِرَةِ اَعْمٰى وَاَضَلُّ سَبِيْلًا ۝٧٢

Wa man kāna fī hāżihī a‘mā fa huwa fil-ākhiroti a‘mā wa aḍollu sabīlā

72. But whoever is blind in this, he will be blind in the Hereafter, and further astray from the way.

17:73

وَاِنْ كَادُوْا لَيَفْتِنُوْنَكَ عَنِ الَّذِيْٓ اَوْحَيْنَآ اِلَيْكَ لِتَفْتَرِيَ عَلَيْنَا غَيْرَهٗۖ وَاِذًا لَّاتَّخَذُوْكَ خَلِيْلًا ۝٧٣

Wa in kādū layaftinūnaka ‘anil-lażī auḥainā ilaika litaftariya ‘alainā ghoiroh, wa iżal lattakhożūka kholīlā

73. They almost lured you away from what We have revealed to you, so that you would invent something else in Our name. In that case, they would have taken you for a friend.

17:74

وَلَوْلَآ اَنْ ثَبَّتْنٰكَ لَقَدْ كِدْتَّ تَرْكَنُ اِلَيْهِمْ شَيْـًٔا قَلِيْلًا ۙ ۝٧٤

Wa lau lā an ṡabbatnāka laqod kitta tarkanu ilaihim syai'an qolīlā

74. Had We not given you stability, you might have inclined towards them a little.

17:75

اِذًا لَّاَذَقْنٰكَ ضِعْفَ الْحَيٰوةِ وَضِعْفَ الْمَمَاتِ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُ لَكَ عَلَيْنَا نَصِيْرًا ۝٧٥

Iżal-la'ażaqnāka ḍi‘fal-ḥayāti wa ḍi‘fal-mamāti ṡumma lā tajidu laka ‘alainā naṣīrō

75. Then We would have made you taste double in life, and double at death; then you would have found for yourself no helper against Us.

17:76

وَاِنْ كَادُوْا لَيَسْتَفِزُّوْنَكَ مِنَ الْاَرْضِ لِيُخْرِجُوْكَ مِنْهَا وَاِذًا لَّا يَلْبَثُوْنَ خِلٰفَكَ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا ۝٧٦

Wa in kādū layastafizzūnaka minal-arḍi liyukhrijūka minhā wa iżal lā yalbaṡūna khilāfaka illā qolīlā

76. They almost provoked you, to expel you from the land. In that case, they would not have lasted after you, except briefly.

17:77

سُنَّةَ مَنْ قَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ مِنْ رُّسُلِنَا وَلَا تَجِدُ لِسُنَّتِنَا تَحْوِيْلًا ࣖ ۝٧٧

Sunnata man qod arsalnā qoblaka mir rusulinā wa lā tajidu lisunnatinā taḥwīlā

77. The tradition of the messengers We sent before you—you will find no change in Our rules.

17:78

اَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَ لِدُلُوْكِ الشَّمْسِ اِلٰى غَسَقِ الَّيْلِ وَقُرْاٰنَ الْفَجْرِۗ اِنَّ قُرْاٰنَ الْفَجْرِ كَانَ مَشْهُوْدًا ۝٧٨

Aqimiṣ-ṣolāta lidulūkisy-syamsi ilā ghosaqil-laili wa qur'ānal-fajr, inna qur'ānal-fajri kāna masyhūdā

78. Perform the prayer at the decline of the sun, until the darkness of the night; and the Quran at dawn. The Quran at dawn is witnessed.

17:79

وَمِنَ الَّيْلِ فَتَهَجَّدْ بِهٖ نَافِلَةً لَّكَۖ عَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّبْعَثَكَ رَبُّكَ مَقَامًا مَّحْمُوْدًا ۝٧٩

Wa minal-laili fa tahajjad bihī nāfilatal lak, ‘asā ay yab‘aṡaka robbuka maqōmam maḥmūdā

79. And keep vigil with it during parts of the night, as an extra prayer. Perhaps your Lord will raise you to a laudable position.

17:80

وَقُلْ رَّبِّ اَدْخِلْنِيْ مُدْخَلَ صِدْقٍ وَّاَخْرِجْنِيْ مُخْرَجَ صِدْقٍ وَّاجْعَلْ لِّيْ مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ سُلْطٰنًا نَّصِيْرًا ۝٨٠

Wa qur robbi adkhilnī mudkhola ṣidqiw wa akhrijnī mukhroja ṣidqiw waj‘al lī mil ladunka sulṭōnan naṣīrō

80. And say, “My Lord, lead me in through an entry of truth, and lead me out through an exit of truth, and grant me from You a supporting power.”

17:81

وَقُلْ جَاۤءَ الْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الْبَاطِلُ ۖاِنَّ الْبَاطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوْقًا ۝٨١

Wa qul jā-al-ḥaqqu wa zahaqol-bāṭil, innal-bāṭila kāna zahūqō

81. And say, “The truth has come, and falsehood has withered away; for falsehood is bound to wither away.”

17:82

وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْاٰنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاۤءٌ وَّرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَۙ وَلَا يَزِيْدُ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ اِلَّا خَسَارًا ۝٨٢

Wa nunazzilu minal-qur'āni mā huwa syifā-uw wa roḥmatul lil-mu'minīn, wa lā yazīduẓ-ẓōlimīna illā khosārō

82. We send down in the Quran healing and mercy for the believers, but it increases the wrongdoers only in loss.

17:83

وَاِذَآ اَنْعَمْنَا عَلَى الْاِنْسَانِ اَعْرَضَ وَنَاٰ بِجَانِبِهٖۚ وَاِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ كَانَ يَـُٔوْسًا ۝٨٣

Wa iżā an‘amnā ‘alal-insāni a‘roḍo wa na'ā bijānibih, wa iżā massahusy-syarru kāna ya'ūsā

83. When We bless the human being, he turns away and distances himself. But when adversity touches him, he is in despair.

17:84
