    Imam: Ali Al-Hudhaify

    Read the passage · An-Naba

    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

    عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ١

    About what are they asking one another?

    عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ٢

    About the great news -

    ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ٣

    That over which they are in disagreement.

    كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ٤

    No! They are going to know.

    ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ٥

    Then, no! They are going to know.

    أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَٰدًۭا٦

    Have We not made the earth a resting place?

    وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًۭا٧

    And the mountains as stakes?

    وَخَلَقْنَٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًۭا٨

    And We created you in pairs

    وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًۭا٩

    And made your sleep [a means for] rest

    وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًۭا١٠

    And made the night as clothing

    وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشًۭا١١

    And made the day for livelihood

    وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًۭا شِدَادًۭا١٢

    And constructed above you seven strong [heavens]

    وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًۭا وَهَّاجًۭا١٣

    And made [therein] a burning lamp

    وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءًۭ ثَجَّاجًۭا١٤

    And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water

    لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّۭا وَنَبَاتًۭا١٥

    That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation

    وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا١٦

    And gardens of entwined growth.

    إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتًۭا١٧

    Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time -

    يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًۭا١٨

    The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes

    وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًۭا١٩

    And the heaven is opened and will become gateways

    وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا٢٠

    And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage.

    إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًۭا٢١

    Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait

    لِّلطَّٰغِينَ مَـَٔابًۭا٢٢

    For the transgressors, a place of return,

    لَّٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحْقَابًۭا٢٣

    In which they will remain for ages [unending].

    لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًۭا وَلَا شَرَابًا٢٤

    They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink

    إِلَّا حَمِيمًۭا وَغَسَّاقًۭا٢٥

    Except scalding water and [foul] purulence -

    جَزَآءًۭ وِفَاقًا٢٦

    An appropriate recompense.

    إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًۭا٢٧

    Indeed, they were not expecting an account

    وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابًۭا٢٨

    And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial.

    وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَٰهُ كِتَٰبًۭا٢٩

    But all things We have enumerated in writing.

    فَذُوقُوا۟ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا٣٠

    "So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment."

    إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا٣١

    Indeed, for the righteous is attainment -

    حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعْنَٰبًۭا٣٢

    Gardens and grapevines

    وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًۭا٣٣

    And full-breasted [companions] of equal age

    وَكَأْسًۭا دِهَاقًۭا٣٤

    And a full cup.

    لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًۭا وَلَا كِذَّٰبًۭا٣٥

    No ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood -

    جَزَآءًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًۭا٣٦

    [As] reward from your Lord, [a generous] gift [made due by] account,

    رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ۖ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًۭا٣٧

    [From] the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Most Merciful. They possess not from Him [authority for] speech.

    يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ صَفًّۭا ۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًۭا٣٨

    The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand in rows, they will not speak except for one whom the Most Merciful permits, and he will say what is correct.

    ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلْحَقُّ ۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا٣٩

    That is the True Day; so he who wills may take to his Lord a [way of] return.

    إِنَّآ أَنذَرْنَٰكُمْ عَذَابًۭا قَرِيبًۭا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْكَافِرُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٰبًۢا٤٠

    Indeed, We have warned you of a near punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust!"

    Read the passage · At-Taariq

    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

    وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ١

    By the sky and the night comer -

    وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ٢

    And what can make you know what is the night comer?

    ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ٣

    It is the piercing star -

    إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌۭ٤

    There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.

    فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ٥

    So let man observe from what he was created.

    خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍۢ دَافِقٍۢ٦

    He was created from a fluid, ejected,

    يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ٧

    Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.

    إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌۭ٨

    Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.

    يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ٩

    The Day when secrets will be put on trial,

    فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍۢ وَلَا نَاصِرٍۢ١٠

    Then man will have no power or any helper.

    وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ١١

    By the sky which returns [rain]

    وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ١٢

    And [by] the earth which cracks open,

    إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌۭ فَصْلٌۭ١٣

    Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,

    وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ١٤

    And it is not amusement.

    إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًۭا١٥

    Indeed, they are planning a plan,

    وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًۭا١٦

    But I am planning a plan.

    فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا١٧

    So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.

    Al-A'laa and An-Naas

    Imam: Abdullah Al-Khulayfi

    Read the passage · Al-A'laa

    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

    سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى١

    Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,

    ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ٢

    Who created and proportioned

    وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ٣

    And who destined and [then] guided

    وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ٤

    And who brings out the pasture

    فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ٥

    And [then] makes it black stubble.

    سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ٦

    We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget,

    إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ٧

    Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.

    وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ٨

    And We will ease you toward ease.

    فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ٩

    So remind, if the reminder should benefit;

    سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ١٠

    He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.

    وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى١١

    But the wretched one will avoid it -

    ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ١٢

    [He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,

    ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ١٣

    Neither dying therein nor living.

    قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ١٤

    He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

    وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ١٥

    And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

    بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا١٦

    But you prefer the worldly life,

    وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ١٧

    While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

    إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ١٨

    Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,

    صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ١٩

    The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.

    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

    قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلنَّاسِ١

    Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind,

    مَلِكِ ٱلنَّاسِ٢

    The Sovereign of mankind.

    إِلَٰهِ ٱلنَّاسِ٣

    The God of mankind,

    مِن شَرِّ ٱلْوَسْوَاسِ ٱلْخَنَّاسِ٤

    From the evil of the retreating whisperer -

    ٱلَّذِى يُوَسْوِسُ فِى صُدُورِ ٱلنَّاسِ٥

    Who whispers [evil] into the breasts of mankind -

    مِنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ٦

    From among the jinn and mankind."

Dhuhr and Asr are prayed silently. The live tracker's ayat begin on 25 September 2026; for earlier days this page shows the Haramain library's records.

Look up a day

Hijri date

Where this comes from

Each prayer's imam, passage and recording are listed by the Haramain library, Tilawat al-Haramain (tilawatalharamain.com), usually within a few hours of the prayer. Its titles are written by hand; Hasanah reads the surahs and ayat from them.

The ayat by rak'ah come from Hasanah's live tracker, which listens to the Quran channel's broadcast from the Haram and names each ayah as it is recited. It has kept them since 25 September 2026. It can miss an ayah or mishear one, so a passage it heard may be a little shorter or longer than the one recited.

Dhuhr and Asr are prayed silently, so there is no recitation to show for them. Times are calculated for Makkah by the Umm al-Qura method.
