17:12 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran We made the day and night as two signs. So We made the sign of the night devoid of light, and We made the sign of the day ˹perfectly˺ bright, so that you may seek the bounty of your Lord and know the number of years and calculation ˹of time˺. And We have explained everything in detail.
17:13 1 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran We have bound every human’s destiny to their neck.1 And on the Day of Judgment We will bring forth to each ˹person˺ a record which they will find laid open.

17:15 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Whoever chooses to be guided, it is only for their own good. And whoever chooses to stray, it is only to their own loss. No soul burdened with sin will bear the burden of another. And We would never punish ˹a people˺ until We have sent a messenger ˹to warn them˺.
17:16 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Whenever We intend to destroy a society, We command its elite ˹to obey Allah˺ but they act rebelliously in it. So the decree ˹of punishment˺ is justified, and We destroy it utterly.
17:17 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran ˹Imagine˺ how many peoples We have destroyed after Noah! And sufficient is your Lord as All-Aware and All-Seeing of the sins of His servants.
17:18 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Whoever desires this fleeting world ˹alone˺, We hasten in it whatever We please to whoever We will; then We destine them for Hell, where they will burn, condemned and rejected.
17:19 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran But whoever desires the Hereafter and strives for it accordingly, and is a ˹true˺ believer, it is they whose striving will be appreciated.
17:20 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran We provide both the former and the latter from the bounty of your Lord. And the bounty of your Lord can never be withheld.
17:21 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran See how We have favoured some over others ˹in this life˺, but the Hereafter is certainly far greater in rank and in favour.
17:22 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Do not set up any other god with Allah, or you will end up condemned, abandoned.
17:23 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran For your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And honour your parents. If one or both of them reach old age in your care, never say to them ˹even˺ ‘ugh,’ nor yell at them. Rather, address them respectfully.
17:24 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran And be humble with them out of mercy, and pray, “My Lord! Be merciful to them as they raised me when I was young.”
17:25 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Your Lord knows best what is within yourselves. If you are righteous, He is certainly All-Forgiving to those who ˹constantly˺ turn to Him.
17:26 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Give to close relatives their due, as well as the poor and ˹needy˺ travellers. And do not spend wastefully.
17:27 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Surely the wasteful are ˹like˺ brothers to the devils. And the Devil is ever ungrateful to his Lord.
17:28 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran But if you must turn them down ˹because you lack the means to give˺—while hoping to receive your Lord’s bounty—then ˹at least˺ give them a kind word.
17:29 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Do not be so tight-fisted, for you will be blameworthy; nor so open-handed, for you will end up in poverty.
17:30 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Surely your Lord gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills. He is certainly All-Aware, All-Seeing of His servants.
17:31 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Do not kill your children for fear of poverty. We provide for them and for you. Surely killing them is a heinous sin.
