سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَسْرَىٰ بِعَبْدِهِۦ لَيْلًا مِّنَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ إِلَى ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْأَقْصَا ٱلَّذِى بَـٰرَكْنَا حَوْلَهُۥ لِنُرِيَهُۥ مِنْ ءَايَـٰتِنَآ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْبَصِيرُ subḥānal ladhī asrā bi`abdihi laylan minal masjidil ḥarāmi ilal-masjidil-aqṣal ladhī bāraknā ḥawlahu linuriyahu min āyātinā ۚ innahu huwas samī`ul baṣīr 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.

وَءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَجَعَلْنَـٰهُ هُدًى لِّبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ أَلَّا تَتَّخِذُوا۟ مِن دُونِى وَكِيلًا wa-ātaynā mūsal kitāba waja`alnāhu hudan libanī isrā-iyla allā tattakhidhū min dūnī wakīlā 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.
3
ذُرِّيَّةَ مَنْ حَمَلْنَا مَعَ نُوحٍ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَبْدًا شَكُورًا dhurriyyata man ḥamalnā ma`a nūḥ ۚ innahu kāna `abdan shakūrā O you, the offspring of those We bore (in the ark) with Noah, he was indeed a grateful votary.
4
وَقَضَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ فِى ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ لَتُفْسِدُنَّ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَلَتَعْلُنَّ عُلُوًّا كَبِيرًا waqaḍaynā ilā banī isrā-iyla fil kitābi latufsidunna fil-arḍi marratayni walata`lunna `uluwwan kabīrā We announced to the children of Israel in the Book: "You will surely create disorder twice in the land, and become exceedingly arrogant."
5
فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعْدُ أُولَىٰهُمَا بَعَثْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ عِبَادًا لَّنَآ أُو۟لِى بَأْسٍ شَدِيدٍ فَجَاسُوا۟ خِلَـٰلَ ٱلدِّيَارِ ۚ وَكَانَ وَعْدًا مَّفْعُولًا fa-idhā jā-a wa`du ūlāhumā ba`athnā `alaykum `ibādal lanā ulī ba-sin shadīdin fajāsū khilālad diyār ۚ wakāna wa`dan maf`ūlā 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.
6
ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَا لَكُمُ ٱلْكَرَّةَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَمْدَدْنَـٰكُم بِأَمْوَٰلٍ وَبَنِينَ وَجَعَلْنَـٰكُمْ أَكْثَرَ نَفِيرًا thumma radadnā lakumul karrata `alayhim wa-amdadnākum bi-amwālin wabanīna waja`alnākum akthara nafīrā Then We gave you a chance against them, and strengthened you with wealth and children, and increased your numbers (and said):
7
إِنْ أَحْسَنتُمْ أَحْسَنتُمْ لِأَنفُسِكُمْ ۖ وَإِنْ أَسَأْتُمْ فَلَهَا ۚ فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعْدُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ لِيَسُـۥٓـُٔوا۟ وُجُوهَكُمْ وَلِيَدْخُلُوا۟ ٱلْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَلِيُتَبِّرُوا۟ مَا عَلَوْا۟ تَتْبِيرًا in aḥsantum aḥsantum li-anfusikum ۖ wa in asa-tum falahā ۚ fa-idhā jā-a wa`dul-ākhirati liyasū-ū wujūhakum waliyadkhulul masjida kamā dakhalūhu awwala marratin waliyutabbirū mā `alaw tatbīrā "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.

عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمْ أَن يَرْحَمَكُمْ ۚ وَإِنْ عُدتُّمْ عُدْنَا ۘ وَجَعَلْنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلْكَـٰفِرِينَ حَصِيرًا `asā rabbukum an yarḥamakum ۚ wa in `udtum `udnā ۘ waja`alnā jahannama lilkāfirīna ḥaṣīrā 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.

We have expounded most distinctly everything.
13
وَكُلَّ إِنسَـٰنٍ أَلْزَمْنَـٰهُ طَـٰٓئِرَهُۥ فِى عُنُقِهِۦ ۖ وَنُخْرِجُ لَهُۥ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ كِتَـٰبًا يَلْقَىٰهُ مَنشُورًا wakulla insānin alzamnāhu ṭā-irahu fī `unuqih ۖ wanukhriju lahu yawmal qiyāmati kitāban yalqāhu manshūrā 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):

We never punish till We have sent a messenger.
16

27
إِنَّ ٱلْمُبَذِّرِينَ كَانُوٓا۟ إِخْوَٰنَ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينِ ۖ وَكَانَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ لِرَبِّهِۦ كَفُورًا innal mubadhhirīna kānū ikhwānash shayāṭīn ۖ wakānash shayṭānu lirabbihi kafūrā Those who dissipate (their wealth) are the brethren of the devils, and the Devil was ungrateful to his Lord.

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).

This is better, and excellent its consequence.

So do not take another god apart from God, or you will be cast into Hell, reproved, ostracised.

42

وَجَعَلْنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَن يَفْقَهُوهُ وَفِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًا ۚ وَإِذَا ذَكَرْتَ رَبَّكَ فِى ٱلْقُرْءَانِ وَحْدَهُۥ وَلَّوْا۟ عَلَىٰٓ أَدْبَـٰرِهِمْ نُفُورًا waja`alnā `alā qulūbihim akinnatan an yafqahūhu wafī ādhānihim waqrā ۚ wa idhā dhakarta rabbaka fil qur-āni waḥdahu wallaw `alā adbārihim nufūrā And We put covers over their hearts and deafness in their ears that they should not understand it. So when you invoke your Lord alone in the Qur'an they turn their backs and walk away.
47
نَّحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَسْتَمِعُونَ بِهِۦٓ إِذْ يَسْتَمِعُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَإِذْ هُمْ نَجْوَىٰٓ إِذْ يَقُولُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا رَجُلًا مَّسْحُورًا naḥnu a`lamu bimā yastami`ūna bihi idh yastami`ūna ilayka wa idh hum najwā idh yaqūluẓ ẓālimūna in tattabi`ūna illā rajulan mas-ḥūrā We know well with what (intent) they hear you, for when they confer privately the wicked say: "You follow but a man deluded."

They will then say: "Who will revert us back?" Say: "He who originated you in the first place." They will shake their heads at you and say: "When will that be?" Say: "In the near future, perhaps,

Verily Satan sows dissensions: Satan is indeed the acknowledged enemy of mankind.

Yet We have not sent you as warden over them.
55
وَرَبُّكَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ وَلَقَدْ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ ۖ وَءَاتَيْنَا دَاوُۥدَ زَبُورًا warabbuka a`lamu biman fis samāwāti wal-arḍ ۗ walaqad faḍḍalnā ba`ḍan nabiyyīna `alā ba`ḍ ۖ wa-ātaynā dāwūda zabūrā Your Lord knows whoever is in the heavens and the earth. We exalted some of the prophets over the others; and to David We gave the Book of Psalms.

Indeed, the punishment of your Lord is to be feared!
58
وَإِن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا نَحْنُ مُهْلِكُوهَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ أَوْ مُعَذِّبُوهَا عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا ۚ كَانَ ذَٰلِكَ فِى ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ مَسْطُورًا wa in min qaryatin illā naḥnu muhlikūhā qabla yawmil qiyāmati aw mu`adhhibūhā `adhāban shadīdā ۚ kāna dhālika fil kitābi masṭūrā There is not a habitation We shall not destroy before the Day of Resurrection, or not inflict severe punishment upon it. This is in accordance with the law (of God).

وَمَا مَنَعَنَآ أَن نُّرْسِلَ بِٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ إِلَّآ أَن كَذَّبَ بِهَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ ۚ وَءَاتَيْنَا ثَمُودَ ٱلنَّاقَةَ مُبْصِرَةً فَظَلَمُوا۟ بِهَا ۚ وَمَا نُرْسِلُ بِٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ إِلَّا تَخْوِيفًا wa mā mana`anā an nursila bil-āyāti illā an kadhhaba bihal-awwalūn ۚ wa-ātaynā thamūdan nāqata mubṣiratan faẓalamū bihā ۚ wa mā nursilu bil-āyāti illā takhwyfā Nothing could stop Us from sending signs except that the earlier people had rejected them as lies. We sent to Thamud the she-camel as a token to make it clear to them, but they treated her cruelly; and We send signs only to deter.

وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لَكَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ أَحَاطَ بِٱلنَّاسِ ۚ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا ٱلرُّءْيَا ٱلَّتِىٓ أَرَيْنَـٰكَ إِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِّلنَّاسِ وَٱلشَّجَرَةَ ٱلْمَلْعُونَةَ فِى ٱلْقُرْءَانِ ۚ وَنُخَوِّفُهُمْ فَمَا يَزِيدُهُمْ إِلَّا طُغْيَـٰنًا كَبِيرًا wa idh qulnā laka inna rabbaka aḥāṭa bin nās ۚ wa mā ja`alnar ru-yal latī araynāka illā fitnatan linnāsi wash shajaratal mal`ūnata fil qur-ān ۚ wanukhawwifuhum famā yazīduhum illā ṭughyānan kabīrā When We said to you: "Verily your Lord circumscribes mankind," and showed you the vision and the accursed tree of the Qur'an, it was as a bone of contention for men. Thus do We (instil) fear in them; but they only transgress the more.
61
وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِـَٔادَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ قَالَ ءَأَسْجُدُ لِمَنْ خَلَقْتَ طِينًا wa idh qulnā lil-malā-ikatis-judū li-ādama fasajadū illā iblīsa qāla a-asjudu liman khalaqta ṭīnā When We asked the angels to bow before Adam, they all bowed but Iblis, who said: "Can I bow before him whom You created from clay?"

But when He brings you safely to the shore, you turn away, for man is most ungrateful.

69
أَمْ أَمِنتُمْ أَن يُعِيدَكُمْ فِيهِ تَارَةً أُخْرَىٰ فَيُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ قَاصِفًا مِّنَ ٱلرِّيحِ فَيُغْرِقَكُم بِمَا كَفَرْتُمْ ۙ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُوا۟ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا بِهِۦ تَبِيعًا am amintum an yu`īdakum fīhi tāratan ukhrā fayursila `alaykum qāṣifan minar rīḥi fayughriqakum bimā kafartum thumma lā tajidū lakum `alaynā bihi tabī`ā Or you feel so secure that He will not send you back (to sea) again or send a gravel-hurtling storm against you, and drown you for your ingratitude? Then you will not find any avenger against Us.

76
وَإِن كَادُوا۟ لَيَسْتَفِزُّونَكَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ لِيُخْرِجُوكَ مِنْهَا ۖ وَإِذًا لَّا يَلْبَثُونَ خِلَـٰفَكَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا wa in kādū layastafizzūnaka minal-arḍi liyukhrijūka minhā ۖ wa idhal lā yalbathūna khilāfaka illā qalīlā They had nearly expelled you from the land and driven you away from it. But then, they too would have stayed but a little after you.

Indeed the Recitation at dawn is palpably evident.

Say, revelation is by the command of your Lord, and that you have been given but little knowledge.
