17. Surah Al-Isra – Verses 81–111

And say, "Truth has come, and falsehood has departed. Indeed is falsehood, [by nature], ever bound to depart."

— Saheeh International

And We send down of the Qur’ān that which is healing and mercy for the believers, but it does not increase the wrongdoers except in loss.

— Saheeh International

And when We bestow favor upon man [i.e., the disbeliever], he turns away and distances himself; and when evil touches him, he is ever despairing.

— Saheeh International

Say, "Each works according to his manner, but your Lord is most knowing of who is best guided in way."

— Saheeh International

And they ask you, [O Muḥammad], about the soul. Say, "The soul is of the affair [i.e., concern] of my Lord. And you [i.e., mankind] have not been given of knowledge except a little."

— Saheeh International

And if We willed, We could surely do away with that which We revealed to you. Then you would not find for yourself concerning it an advocate against Us.

— Saheeh International

Except [We have left it with you] as a mercy from your Lord. Indeed, His favor upon you has ever been great.

— Saheeh International

Say, "If mankind and the jinn gathered in order to produce the like of this Qur’ān, they could not produce the like of it, even if they were to each other assistants."

— Saheeh International

And We have certainly diversified for the people in this Qur’ān from every [kind of] example, but most of the people refused except disbelief.

— Saheeh International

And they say, "We will not believe you until you break open for us from the ground a spring

— Saheeh International

Or [until] you have a garden of palm trees and grapes and make rivers gush forth within them in force [and abundance]

— Saheeh International

Or you make the heaven fall upon us in fragments as you have claimed or you bring Allāh and the angels before [us]

— Saheeh International

Or you have a house of ornament [i.e., gold] or you ascend into the sky. And [even then], we will not believe in your ascension until you bring down to us a book we may read." Say, "Exalted is my Lord! Was I ever but a human messenger?"

— Saheeh International

And what prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them except that they said, "Has Allāh sent a human messenger?"

— Saheeh International

Say, "If there were upon the earth angels walking securely,1 We would have sent down to them from the heaven an angel [as a] messenger."

— Saheeh International

Say, "Sufficient is Allāh as Witness between me and you. Indeed He is ever, concerning His servants, Aware and Seeing."

— Saheeh International

And whoever Allāh guides - he is the [rightly] guided; and whoever He sends astray1 - you will never find for them protectors besides Him, and We will gather them on the Day of Resurrection [fallen] on their faces - blind, dumb and deaf. Their refuge is Hell; every time it subsides, We increase [for] them blazing fire.

— Saheeh International

That is their recompense because they disbelieved in Our verses and said, "When we are bones and crumbled particles, will we [truly] be resurrected [in] a new creation?"

— Saheeh International

Do they not see that Allāh, who created the heavens and earth, is [the one] Able to create the likes of them? And He has appointed for them a term, about which there is no doubt. But the wrongdoers refuse except disbelief.

— Saheeh International

Say [to them], "If you possessed the depositories of the mercy of my Lord, then you would withhold out of fear of spending." And ever has man been stingy.

— Saheeh International

And We had certainly given Moses nine evident signs, so ask the Children of Israel [about] when he came to them and Pharaoh said to him, "Indeed I think, O Moses, that you are affected by magic."

— Saheeh International

[Moses] said, "You have already known that none has sent down these [signs] except the Lord of the heavens and the earth as evidence, and indeed I think,1 O Pharaoh, that you are destroyed."

— Saheeh International

So he intended to drive them from the land, but We drowned him and those with him all together.

— Saheeh International

And We said after him [i.e., Pharaoh] to the Children of Israel, "Dwell in the land, and when there comes the promise [i.e., appointment] of the Hereafter, We will bring you forth in [one] gathering."

— Saheeh International

And with the truth We have sent it [i.e., the Qur’ān] down, and with the truth it has descended. And We have not sent you, [O Muḥammad], except as a bringer of good tidings and a warner.

— Saheeh International

And [it is] a Qur’ān which We have separated [by intervals] that you might recite it to the people over a prolonged period. And We have sent it down progressively.

— Saheeh International

Say, "Believe in it or do not believe." Indeed, those who were given knowledge before it1 - when it is recited to them, they fall upon their faces in prostration,

— Saheeh International

And they say, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, the promise of our Lord has been fulfilled."

— Saheeh International

And they fall upon their faces weeping, and it [i.e., the Qur’ān] increases them in humble submission.

— Saheeh International

Say, "Call upon Allāh or call upon the Most Merciful [ar-Raḥmān]. Whichever [name] you call - to Him belong the best names." And do not recite [too] loudly in your prayer or [too] quietly but seek between that an [intermediate] way.

— Saheeh International

And say, "Praise to Allāh, who has not taken a son and has had no partner in [His] dominion and has no [need of a] protector out of weakness; and glorify Him with [great] glorification."

— Saheeh International
