Surah 17 (Al-Isrâ), Verses 1-22 (Y6)

</p> <p>As-salaam wa-alaikum, brothers and sisters.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Summary</h2> <p>Today’s selection is from Surah 17, Al-Isrâ or the Night Journey, verses 1-22. These verses talk of the prophecy made by Allah in the Torah that the Children of Israel would make mischief of one kind or another and twice would they be caught and punished. Next there is a discussion fo the Day of Judgment, when everyone’s deeds will be laid bare – those who sought to do good and those who sought only the transitory things of this earthly life will be judged.</p> <p>If you enjoy the podcast, <strong>HELP SPREAD THE WORD</strong>!

Then, when the promise for your second forewarning came to be fulfilled, We sent another army to sadden your faces and to enter your masjid <em>(their temple in Jerusalem)</em> as the former had entered it before, and they utterly destroyed all that they laid their hands on.<sup>[7]</sup> Now your Lord may again be merciful to you; but if you repeat the same behavior, We will repeat the punishment, and in the hereafter, We have made hell a prison for such unbelievers.<sup>[8]</sup> Surely, this Qur’an guides to the Way which is perfectly straight and gives the good news to the believers who do good that they shall have a great reward;<sup>[9]</sup> and at the same time it gives warnings to those who do not believe in the hereafter, that We have prepared for them a painful punishment.<sup>[10]</sup> 17:[6-10]</p><p>Yet, the prayer that man should for good, he makes for evil, for every man is given to hasty (deeds).<sup>[11]</sup> We have made the night and the day as two signs. We enshrouded the night with darkness and gave light to the day, to enable you to seek the bounty of your Lord, and that you may compute the years and count the numbers. Thus, We have set forth all things in detail.<sup>[12</sup>] We have fastened the destiny of every man to his own neck, and on the Day of Resurrection We shall bring out for him a book spread wide open,<sup>[13]</sup> saying: “Read your book of deeds. Today you yourself are sufficient to take your own account.”<sup>[14]</sup> 17:[11-14]</p><p>He that seeks guidance, that guidance shall be for his own soul, but he that goes astray does so to his own loss. No bearer shall bear the burden of another on the Day of Judgment. And during your worldly life, We do not inflict punishment until We send forth a Messenger to make truth distinct from falsehood.<sup>[15]</sup> Whenever We have intended to destroy a town, it was because We sent Our commandments to its people who were leading easy lives but they showed disobedience; as a result Our Judgment was passed, and We razed that city to the ground.<sup>[16]</sup> How many generations have We destroyed since Nûh’s time? Sufficient is your Lord to note and see the sins of His servants.<sup>[17]</sup> 17:[15-17]</p><p>He that desires the transitory things of this life, We readily grant him such things as We please to whomsoever We want, then We condemn him to hell, where he will burn, blameworthy and rejected.<sup>[18]</sup> He who desires the life of the hereafter and strives for it as best as he can provided he is a believer, the endeavor of every such person will be accepted.<sup>[19]</sup> We bestowed on all – these as well those – out of the bounties of your Lord; the bounties of your Lord are not confined.<sup>[20]</sup> See how We have exalted some over others, and certainly the hereafter is more exalted and greater in excellence.<sup>[21]</sup> Do not associate another deity with Allah, lest you sit back, condemned, forsaken.<sup>[22]</sup> 17:[18-22]</p><p>Ameen.</p></blockquote> <p>This concludes today’s episode of the 17 Verses Podcast. I hope that this selection has helped increase your understanding of the holy Qur’an just a little bit.</p> <p>Thank you and be well.</p> <div id="ca-pub-9273842516298100:6693584073" class="ads
