Al-Isra 17:53

Al-Isra - The Night Journey

الإسراء

وَقُل لِعِبادي يَقولُوا الَّتي هِيَ أَحسَنُ ۚ إِنَّ الشَّيطانَ يَنزَغُ بَينَهُم ۚ إِنَّ الشَّيطانَ كانَ لِلإِنسانِ عَدُوًّا مُبينًا

Tell My servants to speak in a most kindly manner, for Satan sows discord among them. Satan is a clear enemy of man.

Verse 54

رَبُّكُم أَعلَمُ بِكُم ۖ إِن يَشَأ يَرحَمكُم أَو إِن يَشَأ يُعَذِّبكُم ۚ وَما أَرسَلناكَ عَلَيهِم وَكيلًا

Your Lord knows you best. If He wills, He will have mercy on you. And if He wills, He will punish you. We didn’t send you as their overseer.

Verse 55

وَرَبُّكَ أَعلَمُ بِمَن فِي السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ ۗ وَلَقَد فَضَّلنا بَعضَ النَّبِيّينَ عَلىٰ بَعضٍ ۖ وَآتَينا داوودَ زَبورًا

Your Lord knows everyone in the heavens and on earth. We’ve favored some prophets over others. To David, We gave the Psalms.

Verse 56

قُلِ ادعُوا الَّذينَ زَعَمتُم مِن دونِهِ فَلا يَملِكونَ كَشفَ الضُّرِّ عَنكُم وَلا تَحويلًا

Say, “Invoke those you presume besides Him; they lack the power to alleviate your suffering or change your condition.”

Verse 57

أُولـٰئِكَ الَّذينَ يَدعونَ يَبتَغونَ إِلىٰ رَبِّهِمُ الوَسيلَةَ أَيُّهُم أَقرَبُ وَيَرجونَ رَحمَتَهُ وَيَخافونَ عَذابَهُ ۚ إِنَّ عَذابَ رَبِّكَ كانَ مَحذورًا

Those whom they call upon are themselves seeking a way to their Lord, vying for His proximity, hoping for His mercy, and dreading His punishment. Your Lord’s punishment is to be avoided.

Verse 58

وَإِن مِن قَريَةٍ إِلّا نَحنُ مُهلِكوها قَبلَ يَومِ القِيامَةِ أَو مُعَذِّبوها عَذابًا شَديدًا ۚ كانَ ذٰلِكَ فِي الكِتابِ مَسطورًا

There is no community that We won’t obliterate or severely chastise before Resurrection Day. This is inscribed in the Book.
