17:1Glory to Him who journeyed His servant by night, from the Sacred Mosque, to the Farthest Mosque, whose precincts We have blessed, in order to show him of Our wonders. He is the Listener, the Beholder.

17:8Perhaps your Lord will have mercy on you. But if you revert, We will revert. We have made Hell a prison for the disbelievers.

17:9This Quran guides to what is most upright; and it gives good news to the believers who do good deeds, that they will have a great reward.

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.

17:13For every person We have attached his fate to his neck. And on the Day of Resurrection, We will bring out for him a book which he will find spread open.

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.

17:21See how We have favored some of them over others; yet the Hereafter is greater in ranks, and greater in favors.

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.”

17:33And 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.

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

17:41We have explained in this Quran in various ways, that they may remember, but it only adds to their rebellion.

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

17:49And 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.

17:55Your 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.”

17:62He 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.”

17:65“As for My devotees, you have no authority over them.” Your Lord is an adequate Guardian.

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.

17:73They 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.

17:74Had 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.

17:87Except through a mercy from your Lord. His favors upon you have been great.

17:89We have displayed for mankind in this Quran every kind of similitude, but most people insist on denying the truth.

17:91Or you have a garden of palms and vines; then cause rivers to gush pouring through them.

17:95Say, “If there were angels on earth, walking around in peace, We would have sent down to them from heaven an angel messenger.”

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?”

17:100Say, “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.
