سُبْحَـٰنَ Exalted ٱلَّذِىٓ (is) the One Who أَسْرَىٰ took بِعَبْدِهِۦ His servant لَيْلًۭا (by) night مِّنَ from ٱلْمَسْجِدِ Al-Masjid Al-Haraam ٱلْحَرَامِ Al-Masjid Al-Haraam إِلَى to ٱلْمَسْجِدِ Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa ٱلْأَقْصَا Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa ٱلَّذِى which بَـٰرَكْنَا We blessed حَوْلَهُۥ its surroundings لِنُرِيَهُۥ that We may show him مِنْ of ءَايَـٰتِنَآ ۚ Our Signs إِنَّهُۥ Indeed He هُوَ He ٱلسَّمِيعُ (is) the All-Hearer ٱلْبَصِيرُ the All-Seer ١

وَءَاتَيْنَا And We gave مُوسَى Musa ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book وَجَعَلْنَـٰهُ and made it هُدًۭى a guidance لِّبَنِىٓ for the Children إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ (of) Israel أَلَّا That not تَتَّخِذُوا۟ you take مِن other than Me دُونِى other than Me وَكِيلًۭا (as) a Disposer of affairs ٢

ذُرِّيَّةَ Offsprings مَنْ (of one) who حَمَلْنَا We carried مَعَ with نُوحٍ ۚ Nuh إِنَّهُۥ Indeed, he كَانَ was عَبْدًۭا a servant شَكُورًۭا grateful ٣

وَقَضَيْنَآ And We decreed إِلَىٰ for بَنِىٓ (the) Children إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ (of) Israel فِى in ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ the Book لَتُفْسِدُنَّ Surely you will cause corruption فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth مَرَّتَيْنِ twice وَلَتَعْلُنَّ and surely you will reach عُلُوًّۭا haughtiness كَبِيرًۭا great ٤

فَإِذَا So when جَآءَ came وَعْدُ (the) promise أُولَىٰهُمَا (for) the first of the two بَعَثْنَا We raised عَلَيْكُمْ against you عِبَادًۭا servants لَّنَآ of Ours أُو۟لِى those of great military might بَأْسٍۢ those of great military might شَدِيدٍۢ those of great military might فَجَاسُوا۟ and they entered خِلَـٰلَ the inner most part ٱلدِّيَارِ ۚ (of) the homes وَكَانَ and (it) was وَعْدًۭا a promise مَّفْعُولًۭا fulfilled ٥

ثُمَّ Then رَدَدْنَا We gave back لَكُمُ to you ٱلْكَرَّةَ the return victory عَلَيْهِمْ over them وَأَمْدَدْنَـٰكُم And We reinforced you بِأَمْوَٰلٍۢ with the wealth وَبَنِينَ and sons وَجَعَلْنَـٰكُمْ and made you أَكْثَرَ more نَفِيرًا numerous ٦

إِنْ If أَحْسَنتُمْ you do good أَحْسَنتُمْ you do good لِأَنفُسِكُمْ ۖ for yourselves وَإِنْ and if أَسَأْتُمْ you do evil فَلَهَا ۚ then it is for it فَإِذَا So when جَآءَ came وَعْدُ promise ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ the last لِيَسُـۥٓـُٔوا۟ to sadden وُجُوهَكُمْ your faces وَلِيَدْخُلُوا۟ and to enter ٱلْمَسْجِدَ the Masjid كَمَا just as دَخَلُوهُ they (had) entered it أَوَّلَ first مَرَّةٍۢ time وَلِيُتَبِّرُوا۟ and to destroy مَا what عَلَوْا۟ they had conquered تَتْبِيرًا (with) destruction ٧

عَسَىٰ (It) may be رَبُّكُمْ that your Lord أَن that your Lord يَرْحَمَكُمْ ۚ (may) have mercy upon you وَإِنْ But if عُدتُّمْ you return عُدْنَا ۘ We will return وَجَعَلْنَا And We have made جَهَنَّمَ Hell لِلْكَـٰفِرِينَ for the disbelievers حَصِيرًا a prison-bed ٨

إِنَّ Indeed هَـٰذَا this ٱلْقُرْءَانَ the Quran يَهْدِى guides لِلَّتِى to that هِىَ which أَقْوَمُ (is) most straight وَيُبَشِّرُ and gives glad tidings ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ to the believers ٱلَّذِينَ those who يَعْمَلُونَ do ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ the righteous deeds أَنَّ that لَهُمْ for them أَجْرًۭا (is) a reward كَبِيرًۭا great ٩

وَأَنَّ And that ٱلَّذِينَ those who لَا (do) not يُؤْمِنُونَ believe بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ in the Hereafter أَعْتَدْنَا We have prepared لَهُمْ for them عَذَابًا a punishment أَلِيمًۭا painful ١٠

وَيَدْعُ And prays ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ the man بِٱلشَّرِّ for evil دُعَآءَهُۥ (as) he prays بِٱلْخَيْرِ ۖ for the good وَكَانَ And is ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ the man عَجُولًۭا ever hasty ١١

وَجَعَلْنَا And We have made ٱلَّيْلَ the night وَٱلنَّهَارَ and the day ءَايَتَيْنِ ۖ (as) two signs فَمَحَوْنَآ Then We erased ءَايَةَ (the) sign ٱلَّيْلِ (of) the night وَجَعَلْنَآ and We made ءَايَةَ (the) sign ٱلنَّهَارِ (of) the day مُبْصِرَةًۭ visible لِّتَبْتَغُوا۟ that you may seek فَضْلًۭا bounty مِّن from رَّبِّكُمْ your Lord وَلِتَعْلَمُوا۟ and that you may know عَدَدَ (the) number ٱلسِّنِينَ (of) the years وَٱلْحِسَابَ ۚ and the account وَكُلَّ And every شَىْءٍۢ thing فَصَّلْنَـٰهُ We have explained it تَفْصِيلًۭا (in) detail ١٢

وَكُلَّ And (for) every إِنسَـٰنٍ man أَلْزَمْنَـٰهُ We have fastened to him طَـٰٓئِرَهُۥ his fate فِى in عُنُقِهِۦ ۖ his neck وَنُخْرِجُ and We will bring forth لَهُۥ for him يَوْمَ (on the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ (of) the Resurrection كِتَـٰبًۭا a record يَلْقَىٰهُ which he will find مَنشُورًا wide open ١٣

ٱقْرَأْ Read كِتَـٰبَكَ your record كَفَىٰ Sufficient بِنَفْسِكَ (is) yourself ٱلْيَوْمَ today عَلَيْكَ against you حَسِيبًۭا (as) accountant ١٤

مَّنِ Whoever ٱهْتَدَىٰ (is) guided فَإِنَّمَا then only يَهْتَدِى he is guided لِنَفْسِهِۦ ۖ for his soul وَمَن And whoever ضَلَّ goes astray فَإِنَّمَا then only يَضِلُّ he goes astray عَلَيْهَا ۚ against it وَلَا And not تَزِرُ will bear وَازِرَةٌۭ a bearer of burden وِزْرَ burden أُخْرَىٰ ۗ (of) another وَمَا And not كُنَّا We مُعَذِّبِينَ are to punish حَتَّىٰ until نَبْعَثَ We have sent رَسُولًۭا a Messenger ١٥

وَإِذَآ And when أَرَدْنَآ We intend أَن that نُّهْلِكَ We destroy قَرْيَةً a town أَمَرْنَا We order مُتْرَفِيهَا its wealthy people فَفَسَقُوا۟ but they defiantly disobey فِيهَا therein فَحَقَّ so (is) proved true عَلَيْهَا against it ٱلْقَوْلُ the word فَدَمَّرْنَـٰهَا and We destroy it تَدْمِيرًۭا (with) destruction ١٦

وَكَمْ And how many أَهْلَكْنَا We destroyed مِنَ from ٱلْقُرُونِ the generations مِنۢ after بَعْدِ after نُوحٍۢ ۗ Nuh وَكَفَىٰ And sufficient بِرَبِّكَ (is) your Lord بِذُنُوبِ concerning the sins عِبَادِهِۦ (of) His servants خَبِيرًۢا All-Aware بَصِيرًۭا All-Seer ١٧

مَّن Whoever كَانَ should يُرِيدُ desire ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ the immediate عَجَّلْنَا We hasten لَهُۥ for him فِيهَا in it مَا what نَشَآءُ We will لِمَن to whom نُّرِيدُ We intend ثُمَّ Then جَعَلْنَا We have made لَهُۥ for him جَهَنَّمَ Hell يَصْلَىٰهَا he will burn مَذْمُومًۭا disgraced مَّدْحُورًۭا rejected ١٨

وَمَنْ And whoever أَرَادَ desires ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ the Hereafter وَسَعَىٰ and exerts لَهَا for it سَعْيَهَا the effort وَهُوَ while he مُؤْمِنٌۭ (is) a believer فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ then those كَانَ [are] سَعْيُهُم their effort مَّشْكُورًۭا (is) appreciated ١٩

كُلًّۭا (To) each نُّمِدُّ We extend هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ (to) these وَهَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ and (to) these مِنْ from عَطَآءِ (the) gift رَبِّكَ ۚ (of) your Lord وَمَا And not كَانَ is عَطَآءُ (the) gift رَبِّكَ (of) your Lord مَحْظُورًا restricted ٢٠
