Glory to (Allah) who did take his servant for a journey by night from the sacred Mosque to the farthest Mosque, whose precincts we did bless, in order that we might show him some of our Signs: for he is the one who heareth and seeth (all things).

A.Yusuf Ali 17:1

Then did we grant you the return as against them: we gave you increase in resources and sons, and made you the more numerous in man power.

A.Yusuf Ali 17:6

If ye did well, ye did well for yourself; if ye did evil, (ye did it) against yourself. So when the second of the warnings came to pass, (we permitted your enemies) to disfigure your faces, and to enter your temple as they had entered it before, and to visit with destruction all that fell into their power.

A.Yusuf Ali 17:7

Verily this Quran doth guide to that which is most right (or stable), and giveth the glad tidings to the Believers who work deeds of righteousness, that they shall have a magnificent reward;

We have made the night and the day as two (of our) Signs; the sign of the night have we obscured, while the sign of the day we have made to enlighten you; that ye may seek Bounty from your Lord, and that ye may know the number and count of the years: all things have we explained in detail.

A.Yusuf Ali 17:12

13

Every man's fate we have fastened on his own neck: on the day of judgment we shall bring out for him a scroll, which he will see spread open.

(It will be said to him:) read thine (own) record: sufficient is thy soul this day to make out an account against thee.

Who receiveth guidance, receiveth it for his own benefit: who goeth astray doth so to his own loss: no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another: nor would We visit with Our Wrath until We had sent a messenger (to give warning).

A.Yusuf Ali 17:15

16

When We decide to destroy a population, We (first) send a definite order to those among them who are given the good things of this life and yet transgress; so that the word is proved true against them: then We destroy them utterly.

Of the bounties of thy Lord we bestow freely on all these as well as those: the bounties of thy Lord are not closed (to anyone).

A.Yusuf Ali 17:21

22

Take not with Allah another object of worship; or thou (O man) wilt sit in disgrace and destitution.

A.Yusuf Ali 17:22

23

Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour.
