17:9Verily this Qur'an doth guide to that which is most right (or stable), and giveth the Glad Tidings to the Believers who work deeds of righteousness, that they shall have a magnificent reward;
17:10And to those who believe not in the Hereafter, (it announceth) that We have prepared for them a Penalty Grievous (indeed).
17:11The prayer that man should make for good, he maketh for evil; for man is given to hasty (deeds).
17:12We have made the Night and the Day as two (of Our) Signs: the Sign of the Night have We obscured, while the Sign of the Day We have made to enlighten you; that ye may seek bounty from your Lord, and that ye may know the number and count of the years: all things have We explained in detail.
17:13Every man's fate We have fastened on his own neck: On the Day of Judgment We shall bring out for him a scroll, which he will see spread open.
17:14(It will be said to him:) "Read thine (own) record: Sufficient is thy soul this day to make out an account against thee."
17:15Who receiveth guidance, receiveth it for his own benefit: who goeth astray doth so to his own loss: No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another: nor would We visit with Our Wrath until We had sent an apostle (to give warning).
17:16When We decide to destroy a population, We (first) send a definite order to those among them who are given the good things of this life and yet transgress; so that the word is proved true against them: then (it is) We destroy them utterly.
17:17How many generations have We destroyed after Noah? and enough is thy Lord to note and see the sins of His servants.
17:18If any do wish for the transitory things (of this life), We readily grant them - such things as We will, to such person as We will: in the end have We provided Hell for them: they will burn therein, disgraced and rejected.
17:19Those who do wish for the (things of) the Hereafter, and strive therefor with all due striving, and have Faith,- they are the ones whose striving is acceptable (to God).
17:20Of the bounties of thy Lord We bestow freely on all- These as well as those: The bounties of thy Lord are not closed (to anyone).
17:21See how We have bestowed more on some than on others; but verily the Hereafter is more in rank and gradation and more in excellence.
17:22Take not with God another object of worship; or thou (O man!) wilt sit in disgrace and destitution. (less info)
