1
GLORY TO HIM who took His votary to a wide and open land from the Sacred Mosque (at Makkah) to the distant Mosque whose precincts We have blessed, that We may show him some of Our signs. Verily He is all-hearing and all-seeing.
2
We gave Moses the Book, and made it a guidance for the children of Israel that they should not take another protector apart from Me.
3
O you, the offspring of those We bore (in the ark) with Noah, he was indeed a grateful votary.
4
We announced to the children of Israel in the Book: "You will surely create disorder twice in the land, and become exceedingly arrogant."
5
So, when the time of the first prediction came, We sent against you Our creatures full of martial might, who ransacked your cities; and the prediction was fulfilled.
6
Then We gave you a chance against them, and strengthened you with wealth and children, and increased your numbers (and said):
7
If you do good, you will do so for your own good; if you do ill, you will do it for your own loss. So, when the time of the second prediction comes, (We shall rouse another people) to shame you, and enter the Temple as they had done the first time, and to destroy what they conquered utterly.
8
Your Lord may haply be merciful to you. But if you repeat it, We shall do the same. We have constituted Hell as prison for unbelievers.
9
Verily this Qur'an directs you to the path that is straight, and gives happy tidings to those who believe and do the right: For them is a great reward.
10
As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We have prepared a painful punishment.
11
Man prays for evil as he prays for good, for man is hasty.
12
We have created night and day as two signs, then We efface the sign of the night, and make the sign of the day resplendent that you may seek the bounty of your Lord, and know the computation of years and numbers. We have expounded most distinctly everything.
13
Round each man's neck We have hung his ledger of deeds, and on the Day of Resurrection will present it as a book spread out (and say):
14
Read your ledger; this day you are sufficient to take your own account.
15
He who finds the right path does so for himself; and he who goes astray does so to his own loss; and no one who carries a burden bears another's load. We never punish till We have sent a messenger.
16
And when We destroy a human habitation We send Our command to (warn) its people living a life of ease; and when they disobey, the sentence against them is justified, and We destroy them utterly.
17
How many generations have We laid low after Noah, for your Lord knows and notices well enough the sins of His creatures.
18
Whosoever desires what hastes away, We hasten to give him (in this life) as much as We please to whosoever We will; but afterwards there is Hell for him in which he will burn, disgraced and ostracised.
19
But he who desires the Hereafter, and strives for it with a will, and is a believer, will be favoured for his endeavour.
20
We bestow from the gifts of your Lord on these and on those, for the gifts of your Lord are not restricted.
21
See, how We favour one over the other; and in life to come are higher ranks and favours greater still.
22
Do not set up another god with God, or you will remain disgraced and destitute.
23
So your Lord has decreed: Do not worship anyone but Him, and be good to your parents. If one or both of them grow old in your presence, do not say fie to them, nor reprove them, but say gentle words to them
24
And look after them with kindness and love, and say: O Lord, have mercy on them as they nourished me when I was small."
25
Your Lord knows what is in your heart. If you are righteous, then He is indeed forgiving to those who turn (to Him) in repentance.
26
So give to your relatives what is their due, and to those who are needy, and the wayfarers; and do not dissipate (your wealth) extravagantly.
27
Those who dissipate (their wealth) are the brethren of the devils, and the Devil was ungrateful to his Lord.
28
If you neglect (your parents) while seeking the bounty of your Lord, of which you are hopeful, speak to them softly.
29
Do not be niggardly, nor extravagant that you may later feel reprehensive and constrained.
30
Certainly your Lord provides with open hands whosoever He will, but according to capacity, for He knows and watches His creatures.
