Part 15 / Chapter 17Chapter 17 / سُبْحَانَ الَّذِى أَسْرَى بِعَبْدِهِ
 
Glorified (Exalted) is He who took His slave at night from the sacred mosqueسُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَى بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلًا مِّنَ المَسْجِدِ الحَرَامِ
to the farthest mosque, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him our signsإِلَى المَسْجِدِ الأَقْصَا الَّذِي بَارَكْنَا حَوْلَهُ لِنُرِيَهُ مِنْ ءَايَاتِنَآ
Indeed He, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer1إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيْعُ البَصِيْرُ
and lower to them both the wing of humility out of mercyوَاخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ الذُّلِّ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ
and say “my Lord have mercy on them both as they brought me up from young24وَقُل رَّبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيْرًا
and say to my servants to say what is best وَقُل لِّعِبَادِي يَقُوْلُواْ الَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ
truly Satan sows discord among them إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَنْزَغُ بَيْنَهُم
indeed Satan is to man an open enemy53إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ كَانَ لِلْإِنْسَانِ عَدُوًّا مُّبِيْنًا
and when We bestow favor on man, he turns away and becomes remote (distant) وَإِذَآ أَنْعَمْنَا عَلَى الإِنْسَانِ أَعْرَضَ وَنَئَا بِجَانِبِهِ
however when evil touches him he is in dfespair83وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ كَانَ يَئُوسًا

say, “believe in it or do not believe, verily those who were given knowledge before itقُلْ ءَامِنُوا بِهِ أَوْ لَا تُؤْمِنُوا إِنَّ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا العِلْمَ مِن قَبْلِهِ
when it is recited to them, they fall on their faces in prostration107إِذَا يُتْلَى عَلَيْهِم يَخِرُّونَ لِلْأَذْقَانِ سُجَّدًا

109
Say “invoke Allah SWT or invoke the Most Graciousقُلِ ادْعُوا اللهَ أَوِ ادْعُوا الرَّحْمَانَ
by whatever name you invoke Him, for Him belong the Best Namesأَيَّا مَّا تَدْعُوا فَلُهُ الأَسْمَآءُ الحُسْنَى
and don’t offer your prayer aloud nor in a low voiceوَلَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا
but follow a way between110وَابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَالِكَ سَبِيْلًا
and say, “All the praises and thanks belong to Allah (SWT) who has not begotten a son and not is for Him a partnerوَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِى لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَدًا وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ شَرِيْكٌ
in the creation and not is for Him a protector out of need and magnify Him with all due magnificence111فِى المُلْكِ وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ وَلِيٌّ مِّنَ الذُّلِّ وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيْرًا
