بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ
17:41 We have explained in the Qur´an that they may take admonition, but this only increases their hatred
17:42 "Say: "If there had been other gods with him, as they claim, they would have sought a way to the Owner of the Sovereignty"."
17:44 The seven heavens and all that is in them glorify Him. There is nothing that does not praise and glorify Him, but you do not understand their remembrance. He is Compassionate, Forgiving
17:45 When you recite the Qur´an, We place between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter an invisible barrier.
17:46 And We put shells in their hearts and weights in their ears to prevent them from understanding it. When you remember your Lord only in the Qur´an, they turn back in hatred
17:47 "We know well how they hear when they listen to you, and how they say among themselves, "You are only following a bewitched man"."
17:48 Behold how they go astray, recognizing you, and they will never find a way again
17:49 "They said: "Shall we be resurrected with a new creation after we have become bones and small pieces?"
17:51 "Or assume a form that seems impossible to you, it does not matter."They will say: "Who will bring us back?"Say: "Whoever created you in the first place!"Then they will shake their heads and say, "And when?"Say: "Perhaps nearer than you think..."
17:52 On the Day when He will call you, you will respond to Him with praise, and you will realize that you have remained but a short time.
17:53 Tell My servants: Let them speak and argue in the best way. For Satan enters between them. Satan is the manifest enemy of man
17:54 Your Lord knows you better. If He wills, He will have mercy on you, and if He wills, He will punish you. We did not send you to advocate for them
17:55 Your Lord knows best what is in the heavens and what is in the earth. And We favored some of the prophets over others, for example, We gave David the Psalms.
17:56 "Say: "Call those whom you claim besides Him, they can neither remove nor prevent distress from you."
17:57 Even those whom they call seek a way to draw near to their Lord. They hope for His mercy and fear His punishment. The punishment of your Lord is something to be avoided.
17:58 There is no country that We shall not destroy it or punish it severely before the Day of Resurrection. This is written in the Book.
17:59 The fact that those before denied them did not prevent Us from sending signs. For example, We had clearly given the camel to Thamud. But they wronged him. We send the signs only as a warning.
17:60 We had informed you that your Lord has encompassed mankind. But We have only tested mankind with the vision We showed you and with the tree cursed in the Qur´an. We warn them, but it only adds to their transgression.
