بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمـٰنِ الرَّحيمِ سُبحانَ الَّذي أَسرىٰ بِعَبدِهِ لَيلًا مِنَ المَسجِدِ الحَرامِ إِلَى المَسجِدِ الأَقصَى الَّذي بارَكنا حَولَهُ لِنُرِيَهُ مِن آياتِنا ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّميعُ البَصيرُ

Blessed is He who journeyed His servant by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque, the precincts We’ve blessed, to show him some of Our wonders. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing.

وَآتَينا موسَى الكِتابَ وَجَعَلناهُ هُدًى لِبَني إِسرائيلَ أَلّا تَتَّخِذوا مِن دوني وَكيلًا

We gave Moses the Scripture and made it a guide for the Children of Israel: “Take no protector other than Me.”

وَقَضَينا إِلىٰ بَني إِسرائيلَ فِي الكِتابِ لَتُفسِدُنَّ فِي الأَرضِ مَرَّتَينِ وَلَتَعلُنَّ عُلُوًّا كَبيرًا

We forewarned the Children of Israel in the Scripture: “Twice you will spread corruption on earth, and you will ascend to a great height.”

فَإِذا جاءَ وَعدُ أولاهُما بَعَثنا عَلَيكُم عِبادًا لَنا أُولي بَأسٍ شَديدٍ فَجاسوا خِلالَ الدِّيارِ ۚ وَكانَ وَعدًا مَفعولًا

When the first of these prophecies came to pass, We sent against you Our servants of formidable might, they ravaged through the homes, and it was a fulfilled warning.

ثُمَّ رَدَدنا لَكُمُ الكَرَّةَ عَلَيهِم وَأَمدَدناكُم بِأَموالٍ وَبَنينَ وَجَعَلناكُم أَكثَرَ نَفيرًا

Then, We gave you victory over them, reinforced you with wealth and children, and made you more numerous in human resources.

إِن أَحسَنتُم أَحسَنتُم لِأَنفُسِكُم ۖ وَإِن أَسَأتُم فَلَها ۚ فَإِذا جاءَ وَعدُ الآخِرَةِ لِيَسوءوا وُجوهَكُم وَلِيَدخُلُوا المَسجِدَ كَما دَخَلوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَلِيُتَبِّروا ما عَلَوا تَتبيرًا

If you do good, it’s for yourself. If you do evil, it’s against yourselves. Then, when the second warning was fulfilled, they disfigured your faces, entered the temple as they had entered it the first time, and utterly ravaged all that they overran.

عَسىٰ رَبُّكُم أَن يَرحَمَكُم ۚ وَإِن عُدتُم عُدنا ۘ وَجَعَلنا جَهَنَّمَ لِلكافِرينَ حَصيرًا

Perhaps your Lord will have mercy on you. If you revert, We will revert. We made Hell a prison for the disbelievers.
