God is the Exalted One who took His servant one night for a visit from the Sacred Mosque (in Mecca) to the Aqsa Mosque (in Jerusalem). God has blessed the surroundings of the Aqsa Mosque. He took His servant on this visit to show him (miraculous) evidence of His (existence). It is He who is All-hearing and All-aware.
2
To Moses We gave the Book and made it a guide for the children of Israel, so that they would not have any one as their guardian other than Me
3
(We made it a guide for) the offspring of those whom We carried in the Ark with Noah, a thankful servant (of God).
4
We made it known to the Israelites through the Torah that they would twice commit evil in the land with great transgression and rebellion.
5
(We told them) during your first uprising of evil We shall send to you
6
Our Mighty servants, who will chase you from house to house. This is a decree already ordained. We, then, gave you a chance to defeat your enemies with the help of increasing your wealth and offspring.
7
(We told you), "If you do good, it will be for your own benefit, but if you do bad, it will be against your souls. When the prophecy of your second transgression will come to pass, sadness will cover your faces. They (your enemies) will enter the mosque as they did the first time to bring about utter destruction.
8
Perhaps your Lord will have mercy on you. If you return to disobedience We will also punish you again. We have made hell a prison for the disbelievers."
9
This Quran shows the way to that which is the most upright and gives to the righteous believers the glad news of a great reward.
10
(It also declares) that for the disbelievers We have prepared a painful torment in the life to come.
11
People pray as earnestly to gain evil as one should to gain virtue. But people are hasty.
12
We have made the day and night each as evidence (of Our existence). The night is invisible and the day is visible so that you may seek favors from your Lord and determine the number of years and mark the passing of time. For everything We have given a detailed explanation.
13
We have made every person's actions cling to his neck. On the Day of Judgment, We will bring forth the record of his actions in the form of a wide open book.
14
We will tell him, "Read it and judge for yourself."
15
One who follows guidance does so for himself and one who goes astray does so against his soul. No one will suffer for the sins of others. We have never punished anyone without sending them Our Messenger first.
16
When We decide to destroy a town We warn the rich ones therein who commit evil. Thus it becomes deserving to destruction and We destroy its very foundations.
17
We have destroyed many generations after the time of Noah. Your Lord is All knowing and Well Aware of the sins of His servants.
18
Whoever desires (only) the enjoyment of this life will receive it if We want it to be so. Then We will make Hell his reward wherein he will suffer, despised and driven away from Our mercy.
19
The effort of one who faithfully strives hard for the (happiness) of the life to come will be appreciated (by God).
20
Each group will receive its share of your Lord's generosity. Your Lord's generosity is not limited.
21
Consider how We have given preference to some people above others, yet the life to come has more honor and respect.
22
Do not consider anything equal to God lest you will become despised and neglected.
23
Your Lord has ordained that you must not worship anything other than Him and that you must be kind to your parents. If either or both of your parents should become advanced in age, do not express to them words which show your slightest disappointment. Never yell at them but always speak to them with kindness.
24
Be humble and merciful towards them and say, "Lord, have mercy upon them as they cherished me in my childhood."
25
Your Lord knows what is in your souls. If you would be righteous, know that He is All-forgiving to those who turn to Him in repentance.
26
Give the relatives, the destitute and those who when on a journey have become needy, their dues.
27
Do not be a wasteful spender. Squanderers are the brothers of satan. Satan was faithless to his Lord.
28
If you are not able to assist them, at least speak to them in a kind manner.
29
Do not be stingy nor over generous lest you become empty handed and bankrupt.
30
Your Lord increases and determines the sustenance of whomever He wants. He is Well Aware and watches over His servants.
