Whoever desires this fleeting world ˹alone˺, We hasten in it whatever We please to whoever We will; then We destine them for Hell, where they will burn, condemned and rejected.

17:19

ﱔAnd whoeverﱕdesiresﱖthe Hereafterﱗand exertsﱘfor itﱙthe effortﱚwhile heﱛ(is) a believerﱜthen thoseﱝ[are]ﱞtheir effortﱟ(is) appreciatedﱠ(19)

But whoever desires the Hereafter and strives for it accordingly, and is a ˹true˺ believer, it is they whose striving will be appreciated.

17:20

ﱡ(To) eachﱢWe extendﱣ(to) theseﱤand (to) theseﱥfromﱦ(the) giftﱧﱨ(of) your LordﱩAnd notﱪisﱫ(the) giftﱬ(of) your Lordﱭrestrictedﱮ(20)

We provide both the former and the latter from the bounty of your Lord. And the bounty of your Lord can never be withheld.

17:21

ﱯSeeﱰhowﱱWe preferredﱲsome of themﱳoverﱴﱵothersﱶAnd surely the Hereafterﱷ(is) greaterﱸ(in) degreesﱹand greaterﱺ(in) excellenceﱻ(21)

See how We have favoured some over others ˹in this life˺, but the Hereafter is certainly far greater in rank and in favour.

17:22

ﱼ(Do) notﱽmakeﱾwithﱿAllahﲀgodﲁanotherﲂlest you will sitﲃdisgracedﲄforsakenﲅ(22)

Do not set up any other god with Allah, or you will end up condemned, abandoned.

For your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And honour your parents. If one or both of them reach old age in your care, never say to them ˹even˺ ‘ugh,’ nor yell at them. Rather, address them respectfully.

17:24

ﲢAnd lowerﲣto themﲤ(the) wingﲥ(of) humilityﲦ(out) ofﲧ[the] mercyﲨand sayﲩMy LordﲪHave mercy on both of themﲫasﲬthey brought me upﲭ(when I was) smallﲮ(24)

And be humble with them out of mercy, and pray, “My Lord! Be merciful to them as they raised me when I was young.”

17:25

ﲯYour Lordﲰ(is) most knowingﲱof whatﲲ(is) inﲳﲴyourselvesﲵIfﲶyou areﲷrighteousﲸthen indeed, Heﲹisﲺto those who often turn (to Him)ﲻMost Forgivingﲼ(25)

Your Lord knows best what is within yourselves. If you are righteous, He is certainly All-Forgiving to those who ˹constantly˺ turn to Him.

Give to close relatives their due, as well as the poor and ˹needy˺ travellers. And do not spend wastefully.

17:27

ﳈIndeedﳉthe spendthriftsﳊareﳋbrothersﳌﳍ(of) the devilsﳎAnd isﳏthe Shaitaanﳐto his Lordﳑungratefulﳒ(27)

Surely the wasteful are ˹like˺ brothers to the devils. And the Devil is ever ungrateful to his Lord.
