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.

17:9This 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.

17:24And 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.”

17:41We 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.”

17:43Be He glorified. He is exalted, far above what they say.

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.”

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

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

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.”

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

17:57Those they call upon are themselves seeking means of access to their Lord, vying to be nearer, and hoping for His mercy, and fearing His punishment. The punishment of your Lord is to be dreaded.

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.

17:61When We said to the angels, “Bow down before Adam,” they bowed down, except for Satan. He said, “Shall I bow down before someone You created from mud?”

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.

17:73They 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.

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

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.”

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

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

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.

17:107Say, “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.

17:108And they say, “Glory to our Lord. The promise of our Lord is fulfilled.”

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