We also gave Moses the Scripture, and made it a guide for the Children of Israel. 'Entrust yourselves to no one but Me,

M.A.Haleem 17:2

you descendants of those We carried with Noah: he was truly a thankful servant.'

M.A.Haleem 17:3

but then We allowed you to prevail against your enemy. We increased your wealth and offspring and made you more numerous

M.A.Haleem 17:6

7

whether you do good or evil it is to your own soulsand when the second warning was fulfilled (We sent them) to shame your faces and enter the place of worship as they did the first time, and utterly destroy whatever fell into their power.

Your Lord may yet have mercy on you, but if you do the same again, so shall We: We have made Hell a prison for those who defy (Our warning).

M.A.Haleem 17:9

10

warns that We have prepared an agonizing punishment for those who do not believe in the world to come.

M.A.Haleem 17:10

11

Yet man prays for harm, just as he prays for good: man is ever hasty.

M.A.Haleem 17:11

12

We made the night and the day as two signs, then darkened the night and made the daylight for seeing, for you to seek your Lord's bounty and to know how to count the years and calculate. We have explained everything in detail.

M.A.Haleem 17:12

We have bound each human being's destiny to his neck. On the Day of Resurrection, We shall bring out a record for each of them, which they will find spread wide open,

M.A.Haleem 17:13

14

'Read your record. Today your own soul is enough to calculate your account.'

M.A.Haleem 17:14

Whoever accepts guidance does so for his own good; whoever strays does so at his own peril. No soul will bear another's burden, nor do We punish until We have sent a messenger.

M.A.Haleem 17:15

16

When We decide to destroy a town, We command those corrupted by wealth (to reform), but they (persist in their) disobedience; Our sentence is passed, and We destroy them utterly.

How many generations We have destroyed since Noah! Your Lord knows and observes the sins of His servants well enough.

M.A.Haleem 17:17

If anyone desires (only) the fleeting life, We speed up whatever We will in it, for whoever We wish; in the end We have prepared Hell for him in which to burn, disgraced and rejected.

see how We have given some more than others- but the Hereafter holds greater ranks and greater favours.

M.A.Haleem 17:21

Set up no other god beside God, or you will end up disgraced and forsaken.

M.A.Haleem 17:22

Your Lord has commanded that you should worship none but Him, and that you be kind to your parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you, say no word that shows impatience with them, and do not be harsh with them, but speak to them respectfully

M.A.Haleem 17:23

24

and lower your wing in humility towards them in kindness and say, 'Lord, have mercy on them, just as they cared for me when I was little.'

M.A.Haleem 17:24

25

Your Lord knows best what is in your heart. If you are good, He is most forgiving to those who return to Him.

M.A.Haleem 17:25

Give relatives their due, and the needy, and travellers- do not squander your wealth wastefully:

M.A.Haleem 17:26

27

those who squander are the brothers of Satan, and Satan is most ungrateful to his Lord-

M.A.Haleem 17:27

28

but if, while seeking some bounty that you expect from your Lord, you turn them down, then at least speak some word of comfort to them.
