1 Surahs8 Versesركوع 245
17:53
وَقُل
And say
لِّعِبَادِى
to My slaves
يَقُولُواۡ
(to) say
ٱلَّتِى
that
هِىَ
which
أَحۡسَنُ‌ۚ
(is) best
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنَ
the Shaitaan
يَنزَغُ
sows discord
بَيۡنَهُمۡ‌ۚ
between them
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنَ
the Shaitaan
كَانَ
is
لِلۡإِنسَـٰنِ
to the man
عَدُوًّا
an enemy
مُّبِينًا
clear
٥٣
And tell My servants to say that which is best. Indeed, Satan induces [dissension] among them. Indeed Satan is ever, to mankind, a clear enemy.
17:54
رَّبُّكُمۡ
Your Lord
أَعۡلَمُ
(is) most knowing
بِكُمۡ‌ۖ
of you
إِن
If
يَشَأۡ
He wills
يَرۡحَمۡكُمۡ
He will have mercy on you
أَوۡ
or
إِن
if
يَشَأۡ
He wills
يُعَذِّبۡكُمۡ‌ۚ
He will punish you
وَمَآ
And not
أَرۡسَلۡنَـٰكَ
We have sent you
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
over them
وَكِيلاً
(as) a guardian
٥٤
Your Lord is most knowing of you. If He wills, He will have mercy upon you; or if He wills, He will punish you. And We have not sent you, [O Muḥammad], over them as a manager.
17:55
وَرَبُّكَ
And your Lord
أَعۡلَمُ
(is) most knowing
بِمَن
of whoever
فِى
(is) in
ٱلسَّمَـٰوٰتِ
the heavens
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۗ
and the earth
وَلَقَدۡ
And verily
فَضَّلۡنَا
We have preferred
بَعۡضَ
some
ٱلنَّبِيِّــۧنَ
(of) the Prophets
عَلَىٰ
to
بَعۡضٍ‌ۖ
others
وَءَاتَيۡنَا
And We gave
دَاوُۥدَ
Dawood
زَبُورًا
Zaboor
٥٥
And your Lord is most knowing of whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And We have made some of the prophets exceed others [in various ways], and to David We gave the book [of Psalms].
17:56
قُلِ
Say
ٱدۡعُواۡ
Call
ٱلَّذِينَ
those whom
زَعَمۡتُم
you claimed
مِّن
besides Him
دُونِهِۦ
besides Him
فَلَا
[then] not
يَمۡلِكُونَ
they have power
كَشۡفَ
(to) remove
ٱلضُّرِّ
the misfortunes
عَنكُمۡ
from you
وَلَا
and not
تَحۡوِيلاً
(to) transfer (it)
٥٦
Say, "Invoke those you have claimed [as gods] besides Him, for they do not possess the [ability for] removal of adversity from you or [for its] transfer [to someone else]."
17:57
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
Those
ٱلَّذِينَ
whom
يَدۡعُونَ
they call
يَبۡتَغُونَ
seek
إِلَىٰ
to
رَبِّهِمُ
their Lord
ٱلۡوَسِيلَةَ
the means of access
أَيُّهُمۡ
which of them
أَقۡرَبُ
(is) nearest
وَيَرۡجُونَ
and they hope
رَحۡمَتَهُۥ
(for) His mercy
وَيَخَافُونَ
and fear
عَذَابَهُۥٓ‌ۚ
His punishment
إِنَّ
Indeed
عَذَابَ
(the) punishment
رَبِّكَ
(of) your Lord
كَانَ
is
مَحۡذُورًا
(ever) feared
٥٧
Those whom they invoke1 seek means of access to their Lord, [striving as to] which of them would be nearest, and they hope for His mercy and fear His punishment. Indeed, the punishment of your Lord is ever feared.
17:58
وَإِن
And not
مِّن
(is) any
قَرۡيَةٍ
town
إِلَّا
but
نَحۡنُ
We
مُهۡلِكُوهَا
(will) destroy it
قَبۡلَ
before
يَوۡمِ
(the) Day
ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ
(of) the Resurrection
أَوۡ
or
مُعَذِّبُوهَا
punish it
عَذَابًا
with a punishment
شَدِيدًا‌ۚ
severe
كَانَ
That is
ذٰلِكَ
That is
فِى
in
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ
the Book
مَسۡطُورًا
written
٥٨
And there is no city but that We will destroy it1 before the Day of Resurrection or punish it with a severe punishment. That has ever been in the Register2 inscribed.
17:59
وَمَا
And not
مَنَعَنَآ
stopped Us
أَن
that
نُّرۡسِلَ
We send
بِٱلۡأَيَـٰتِ
the Signs
إِلَّآ
except
أَن
that
كَذَّبَ
denied
بِهَا
them
ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ‌ۚ
the former (people)
وَءَاتَيۡنَا
And We gave
ثَمُودَ
Thamud
ٱلنَّاقَةَ
the she-camel
مُبۡصِرَةً
(as) a visible sign
فَظَلَمُواۡ
but they wronged
بِهَا‌ۚ
her
وَمَا
And not
نُرۡسِلُ
We send
بِٱلۡأَيَـٰتِ
the Signs
إِلَّا
except
تَخۡوِيفًا
(as) a warning
٥٩
And nothing has prevented Us from sending signs [i.e., miracles] except that the former peoples denied them. And We gave Thamūd the she-camel as a visible sign, but they wronged her. And We send not the signs except as a warning.
17:60
وَإِذۡ
And when
قُلۡنَا
We said
لَكَ
to you
إِنَّ
Indeed
رَبَّكَ
your Lord
أَحَاطَ
has encompassed
بِٱلنَّاسِ‌ۚ
the mankind
وَمَا
And not
جَعَلۡنَا
We made
ٱلرُّءۡيَا
the vision
ٱلَّتِىٓ
which
أَرَيۡنَـٰكَ
We showed you
إِلَّا
except
فِتۡنَةً
(as) a trial
لِّلنَّاسِ
for mankind
وَٱلشَّجَرَةَ
and the tree
ٱلۡمَلۡعُونَةَ
the accursed
فِى
in
ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ‌ۚ
the Quran
وَنُخَوِّفُهُمۡ
And We threaten them
فَمَا
but not
يَزِيدُهُمۡ
it increases them
إِلَّا
except
طُغۡيَـٰنًا
(in) transgression
كَبِيرًا
great
٦٠
And [remember, O Muḥammad], when We told you, "Indeed, your Lord has encompassed the people."1 And We did not make the sight which We showed you2 except as a trial for the people, as was the accursed tree [mentioned] in the Qur’ān. And We threaten [i.e., warn] them, but it increases them not except in great transgression.
