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

17:5When the first of the two promises came true, We sent against you servants of Ours, possessing great might, and they ransacked your homes. It was a promise fulfilled.

17:7If you work righteousness, you work righteousness for yourselves; and if you commit evil, you do so against yourselves. Then, when the second promise comes true, they will make your faces filled with sorrow, and enter the Temple as they entered it the first time, and utterly destroy all that falls into their power.

17:11The human being prays for evil as he prays for good. The human being is very hasty.

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.

17:15Whoever 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.

17:18Whoever desires the fleeting life, We expedite for him what We decide to give him, to whomever We desire. Then We consign him to Hell, where he will roast, condemned and defeated.

17:19But whoever desires the Hereafter, and pursues it as it should be pursued, while he is a believer; these—their effort will be appreciated.

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.

17:24And lower to them the wing of humility, out of mercy, and say, “My Lord, have mercy on them, as they raised me when I was a child.”

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

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.

17:35And give full measure when you measure, and weigh with accurate scales. That is fair, and the best determination.

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.

17:40Has your Lord favored you with sons, while choosing for Himself daughters from among the angels? You are indeed saying a terrible thing.

17:42Say, “If there were other gods with Him, as they say, they would have sought a way to the Lord of the Throne.”

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.”

17:49And they say, “When we have become bones and fragments, shall we really be resurrected as a new creation?”

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.

17:60We 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.

17:65“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.

17:72But whoever is blind in this, he will be blind in the Hereafter, and further astray from the way.

17:73They 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.

17:75Then 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.

17:79And keep vigil with it during parts of the night, as an extra prayer. Perhaps your Lord will raise you to a laudable position.

17:81And say, “The truth has come, and falsehood has withered away; for falsehood is bound to wither away.”

17:82We send down in the Quran healing and mercy for the believers, but it increases the wrongdoers only in loss.

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.”

17:92Or make the sky fall on us in pieces, as you claim, or bring God and the angels before 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?”

17:97Whomever 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.

17:98This is their repayment for having blasphemed against Our revelations, and having said, “Shall we, when we have become bones and fragments, be resurrected as a new creation?”

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.

17:100Say, “If you possessed the treasuries of my Lord’s mercy, you would have withheld them for fear of spending.” The human being has always been stingy.

17:101We gave Moses nine clear signs—ask the Children of Israel. When he went to them, Pharaoh said to him, “I think that you, Moses, are bewitched.”

17:105With the truth We sent it down, and with the truth it descended. We sent you only as a bearer of good news and a warner.

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.”
