يَوْمَ يَدْعُوكُمْ فَتَسْتَجِيبُونَ بِحَمْدِهِ وَتَظُنُّونَ إِنْ لَبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا (52)

The day when He will call you, and you will respond with His praise and think that you had not remained except for a little.
[Al Quran ; 17:52]

---

وَقُلْ لِعِبَادِي يَقُولُوا الَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ ۚ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَنْزَغُ بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ كَانَ لِلْإِنْسَانِ عَدُوًّا مُبِينًا (53)

And say to My servants to say that which is best. Indeed, the devil induces among them; indeed, the devil is ever to the human an obvious enemy.
[Al Quran ; 17:53]

---

رَبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ ۖ إِنْ يَشَأْ يَرْحَمْكُمْ أَوْ إِنْ يَشَأْ يُعَذِّبْكُمْ ۚ وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَكِيلًا (54)

Your Lord is most Knowing of you; if He wills, He may grant you mercy, and if He wills, He may castigate you. And We have not sent you over them as a trustee.
[Al Quran ; 17:54]

---

وَرَبُّكَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۗ وَلَقَدْ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَ النَّبِيِّينَ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ ۖ وَآتَيْنَا دَاوُودَ زَبُورًا (55)

And your Lord is most Knowing whoever is in the heavens and the earth; and We have certainly favoured some of the prophets over others, and We have given Dawood the Psalms.
[Al Quran ; 17:55]

---

قُلِ ادْعُوا الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ مِنْ دُونِهِ فَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ كَشْفَ الضُّرِّ عَنْكُمْ وَلَا تَحْوِيلًا (56)

Say: Call upon those whom you alleged other than Him, for they do not possess the removal of adversity or transferring (it).
[Al Quran ; 17:56]

---

أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ يَبْتَغُونَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمُ الْوَسِيلَةَ أَيُّهُمْ أَقْرَبُ وَيَرْجُونَ رَحْمَتَهُ وَيَخَافُونَ عَذَابَهُ ۚ إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ كَانَ مَحْذُورًا (57)

Those whom they call seek to their Lord means of access, (striving to) which would be nearest, and they hope for His mercy and fear His torture. Indeed, the torture of your Lord is ever to be avoided.
[Al Quran ; 17:57]

---

وَإِنْ مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا نَحْنُ مُهْلِكُوهَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ أَوْ مُعَذِّبُوهَا عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا ۚ كَانَ ذَٰلِكَ فِي الْكِتَابِ مَسْطُورًا (58)

And there is not a village except that We will destroy it before the day of resurrection or castigate it with a severe torture. That has ever been in the book written.
[Al Quran ; 17:58]

---

وَمَا مَنَعَنَا أَنْ نُرْسِلَ بِالْآيَاتِ إِلَّا أَنْ كَذَّبَ بِهَا الْأَوَّلُونَ ۚ وَآتَيْنَا ثَمُودَ النَّاقَةَ مُبْصِرَةً فَظَلَمُوا بِهَا ۚ وَمَا نُرْسِلُ بِالْآيَاتِ إِلَّا تَخْوِيفًا (59)

And nothing could have stopped Us from sending signs except that the former (people) denied them. And We gave Thamud the she-camel as a visible (sign), but they did injustice to her. And We do not send the signs except as a threat.
[Al Quran ; 17:59]

---

وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لَكَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ أَحَاطَ بِالنَّاسِ ۚ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي أَرَيْنَاكَ إِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِلنَّاسِ وَالشَّجَرَةَ الْمَلْعُونَةَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ ۚ وَنُخَوِّفُهُمْ فَمَا يَزِيدُهُمْ إِلَّا طُغْيَانًا كَبِيرًا (60)

And when We said to you: Indeed, your Lord has encompassed the people. And We did not make the vision which We showed you except as a trial for the people, as was the cursed tree in the Quran. And We threaten them, but it does not increase them except in great transgression.

وَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَدًا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ ۖ وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيرًا (111)

And say: Praise be to Allah, Who has not taken a child nor was for Him a partner in the kingdom, and (Who) has no guardian out of weakness. And magnify Him with magnification.
[Al Quran ; 17:111]
