17:2And We gave Moses the Scripture, and made it a guide for the Children of Israel: Take none for protector other than Me.

17:3The descendants of those We carried with Noah. He was an appreciative servant.

17:10And those who do not believe in the Hereafter—We have prepared for them a painful punishment.

17:12We 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.

17:14“Read your book; today there will be none but yourself to call you to account.”

17:15Whoever is guided—is guided for his own good. And whoever goes astray—goes astray to his detriment. No burdened soul carries the burdens of another, nor do We ever punish until We have sent a messenger.

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

17:20To all—these and those—We extend from the gifts of your Lord. The gifts of your Lord are not restricted.

17:22Do not set up another god with God, lest you become condemned and damned.

17:23Your Lord has commanded that you worship none but Him, and that you be good to your parents. If either of them or both of them reach old age with you, do not say to them a word of disrespect, nor scold them, but say to them kind words.

17:25Your Lord knows best what is in your minds. If you are righteous—He is Forgiving to the obedient.

17:26And give the relative his rights, and the poor, and the wayfarer, and do not squander wastefully.

17:29And do not keep your hand tied to your neck, nor spread it out fully, lest you end up liable and regretful.

17:31And do not kill your children for fear of poverty. We provide for them, and for you. Killing them is a grave sin.

17:32And do not come near adultery. It is immoral, and an evil way.

17:33And do not kill the soul which God has made sacred, except in the course of justice. If someone is killed unjustly, We have given his next of kin certain authority. But he should not be excessive in killing, for he will be supported.

17:34And do not go near the orphan’s property, except with the best of intentions, until he has reached his maturity. And honor your pledge, because the pledge involves responsibility.

17:36And do not occupy yourself with what you have no knowledge of. The hearing, and the sight, and the brains—all these will be questioned.

17:37And do not walk proudly on earth. You can neither pierce the earth, nor can you match the mountains in height.

17:39That is some of the wisdom your Lord has revealed to you. Do not set up with God another god, or else you will be thrown in Hell, rebuked and banished.

17:44Praising 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.

17:45When you read the Quran, We place between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter an invisible barrier.

17:47We know well what they listen to, when they listen to you, as they conspire, when the wrongdoers say, “You only follow a man bewitched.”

17:48Note what they compared you to. They are lost, and unable to find a way.

17:51Or 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.”

17:54Your 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.

17:55Your 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.

17:56Say, “Call upon those you claim besides Him. They have no power to relieve your adversity, nor can they change it.”

17:58There 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.

17:59Nothing 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.

17:60We 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.

17:62He 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.”

17:64“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“As for My devotees, you have no authority over them.” Your Lord is an adequate Guardian.

17:68Are you confident that He will not cause a track of land to cave in beneath you, or unleash a tornado against you, and then you find no protector?

17:69Or 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.

17:70We 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.

17:71On 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.

17:74Had We not given you stability, you might have inclined towards them a little.

17:75Then We would have made you taste double in life, and double at death; then you would have found for yourself no helper against Us.

17:76They almost provoked you, to expel you from the land. In that case, they would not have lasted after you, except briefly.

17:77The tradition of the messengers We sent before you—you will find no change in Our rules.

17:84Say, “Each does according to his disposition. Your Lord knows best who is better guided in the way.”

17:85And they ask you about the Spirit. Say, “The Spirit belongs to the domain of my Lord; and you were given only little knowledge.”

17:86If We willed, We could take away what We revealed to you. Then you will find for yourself no protecting guardian against Us.

17:88Say, “If mankind and jinn came together to produce the like of this Quran, they could never produce the like of it, even if they backed up one another.”

17:90And they said, “We will not believe in you unless you make a spring burst from the ground for us.

17:93Or you possess a house of gold. Or you ascend into the sky. Even then, we will not believe in your ascension, unless you bring down for us a book that we can read.” Say, “Glory be to my Lord. Am I anything but a human messenger?”

17:94Nothing prevented the people from believing, when guidance has come to them, except that they said, “Did God send a human messenger?”

17:96Say, “God is enough witness between you and me. He is fully aware of His servants, and He sees them well.”

17:97Whomever God guides is the guided one. And whomever He leaves astray—for them you will find no protectors apart from Him. And We will gather them on the Day of Resurrection, on their faces, blind, dumb, and deaf. Their abode is Hell; whenever it abates, We intensify the blaze for them.

17:99Do they not consider that God, Who created the heavens and the earth, is Able to create the likes of them? He has assigned for them a term, in which there is no doubt. But the wrongdoers persist in denying the truth.

17:102He said, “You know that none sent these down except the Lord of the heavens and the earth—eye openers; and I think that you, Pharaoh, are doomed.”

17:107Say, “Believe in it, or do not believe.” Those who were given knowledge before it, when it is recited to them, they fall to their chins, prostrating.

17:110Say, “Call Him God, or call Him the Most Merciful. Whichever name you use, to Him belong the Best Names.” And be neither loud in your prayer, nor silent in it, but follow a course in between.

17:111And say, “Praise be to God, who has not begotten a son, nor has He a partner in sovereignty, nor has He an ally out of weakness, and glorify Him constantly.”
