    Al-Ahzaab 56–62

    Imam: Muhammad Al-Subayyil

    Read the passage · Al-Ahzaab 56–62

    إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتَهُۥ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ ۚ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ صَلُّوا۟ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا۟ تَسْلِيمًا٥٦

    Indeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels [ask Him to do so]. O you who have believed, ask [Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [Allah to grant him] peace.

    إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ لَعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًۭا مُّهِينًۭا٥٧

    Indeed, those who abuse Allah and His Messenger - Allah has cursed them in this world and the Hereafter and prepared for them a humiliating punishment.

    وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ بِغَيْرِ مَا ٱكْتَسَبُوا۟ فَقَدِ ٱحْتَمَلُوا۟ بُهْتَٰنًۭا وَإِثْمًۭا مُّبِينًۭا٥٨

    And those who harm believing men and believing women for [something] other than what they have earned have certainly born upon themselves a slander and manifest sin.

    يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ قُل لِّأَزْوَٰجِكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ وَنِسَآءِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يُدْنِينَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِن جَلَٰبِيبِهِنَّ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ أَدْنَىٰٓ أَن يُعْرَفْنَ فَلَا يُؤْذَيْنَ ۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورًۭا رَّحِيمًۭا٥٩

    O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.

    ۞ لَّئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقُونَ وَٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌۭ وَٱلْمُرْجِفُونَ فِى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لَنُغْرِيَنَّكَ بِهِمْ ثُمَّ لَا يُجَاوِرُونَكَ فِيهَآ إِلَّا قَلِيلًۭا٦٠

    If the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is disease and those who spread rumors in al-Madinah do not cease, We will surely incite you against them; then they will not remain your neighbors therein except for a little.

    مَّلْعُونِينَ ۖ أَيْنَمَا ثُقِفُوٓا۟ أُخِذُوا۟ وَقُتِّلُوا۟ تَقْتِيلًۭا٦١

    Accursed wherever they are found, [being] seized and massacred completely.

    سُنَّةَ ٱللَّهِ فِى ٱلَّذِينَ خَلَوْا۟ مِن قَبْلُ ۖ وَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّةِ ٱللَّهِ تَبْدِيلًۭا٦٢

    [This is] the established way of Allah with those who passed on before; and you will not find in the way of Allah any change.

    مَلِكِ ٱلنَّاسِ٢

    The Sovereign of mankind.

    إِلَٰهِ ٱلنَّاسِ٣

    The God of mankind,

    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!"

    إِنَّآ أَعْطَيْنَٰكَ ٱلْكَوْثَرَ١

    Indeed, We have granted you, [O Muhammad], al-Kawthar.

    فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَٱنْحَرْ٢

    So pray to your Lord and sacrifice [to Him alone].

    إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ ٱلْأَبْتَرُ٣

    Indeed, your enemy is the one cut off.

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.
