17:1 Glory be to the One Who took His slave [Muhammad] by night from the Sacred Mosque [in Makkah] to the Aqsā Mosque [in Jerusalem] whose surroundings We have blessed, so that We may show him some of Our signs. Indeed, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing.

17:2 We gave Moses the Scripture and made it a guide for the Children of Israel, “Do not take besides Me anyone as a Disposer of Affairs[1].

17:3 O descendants of those whom We carried [on board] with Noah[1]. He was indeed a grateful slave.”

17:4 We declared to the Children of Israel in the Scripture, “You will surely spread corruption on earth twice, and you will surely become exceedingly arrogant[1].

17:5 When the first of the two warnings came to pass, We sent against you some of Our slaves of great might, and they ravaged through the land[1]; this warning was bound to be fulfilled[2].

17:6 Then We gave you the upper hand over them and strengthened you with wealth and children, and made you greater in number.

17:7 If you do good, it is for your own good, but if you do evil, it is to your own loss. Then when the second warning came to pass, your enemies would disgrace and suppress you[1], and enter the Temple [of Jerusalem][2] as they entered it the first time, and utterly destroy whatever fell into their power[3].
