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.

17:4And We conveyed to the Children of Israel in the Scripture: You will commit evil on earth twice, and you will rise to a great height.

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.

17:6Then We gave you back your turn against them, and supplied you with wealth and children, and made you more numerous.

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.

17:9This 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.

17:16When We decide to destroy a town, We command its affluent ones, they transgress in it, so the word becomes justified against it, and We destroy it completely.

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.

17:22Do 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.

17:24And 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.”

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

17:30Your Lord expands the provision for whomever He wills, and restricts it. He is fully Informed, Observant of His servants.

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.

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

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.

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

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.”

17:44Praising 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.

17:46And 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.

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

17:51Or 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.”

17:52On the Day when He calls you, you will respond with His praise, and you will realize that you stayed only a little.

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.

17:60We 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.

17:64“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.

17:69Or 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.

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

17:78Perform 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.

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

17:80And 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.”

17:81And 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.

17:83When We bless the human being, he turns away and distances himself. But when adversity touches him, he is in despair.

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.”

17:88Say, “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.”

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

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.

17:100Say, “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.”

17:103He resolved to scare them off the land, but We drowned him, and those with him, altogether.

17:104After him, We said to the Children of Israel, “Inhabit the land, and when the promise of the Hereafter arrives, We will bring you all together.”

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.

17:106A Quran which We unfolded gradually, that you may recite to the people over time. And We revealed it in stages.

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.

17:109And they fall to their chins, weeping, and it adds to their humility.

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.
