    Read the passage · Al-Balad

    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

    لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِهَٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ١

    I swear by this city, Makkah -

    وَأَنتَ حِلٌّۢ بِهَٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ٢

    And you, [O Muhammad], are free of restriction in this city -

    وَوَالِدٍۢ وَمَا وَلَدَ٣

    And [by] the father and that which was born [of him],

    لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ فِى كَبَدٍ٤

    We have certainly created man into hardship.

    أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌۭ٥

    Does he think that never will anyone overcome him?

    يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًۭا لُّبَدًا٦

    He says, "I have spent wealth in abundance."

    أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّمْ يَرَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ٧

    Does he think that no one has seen him?

    أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُۥ عَيْنَيْنِ٨

    Have We not made for him two eyes?

    وَلِسَانًۭا وَشَفَتَيْنِ٩

    And a tongue and two lips?

    وَهَدَيْنَٰهُ ٱلنَّجْدَيْنِ١٠

    And have shown him the two ways?

    فَلَا ٱقْتَحَمَ ٱلْعَقَبَةَ١١

    But he has not broken through the difficult pass.

    وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْعَقَبَةُ١٢

    And what can make you know what is [breaking through] the difficult pass?

    فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ١٣

    It is the freeing of a slave

    أَوْ إِطْعَٰمٌۭ فِى يَوْمٍۢ ذِى مَسْغَبَةٍۢ١٤

    Or feeding on a day of severe hunger

    يَتِيمًۭا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ١٥

    An orphan of near relationship

    أَوْ مِسْكِينًۭا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍۢ١٦

    Or a needy person in misery

    ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْمَرْحَمَةِ١٧

    And then being among those who believed and advised one another to patience and advised one another to compassion.

    أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ١٨

    Those are the companions of the right.

    وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ١٩

    But they who disbelieved in Our signs - those are the companions of the left.

    عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌۭ مُّؤْصَدَةٌۢ٢٠

    Over them will be fire closed in.

    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

    أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ١

    Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?

    وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ٢

    And We removed from you your burden

    ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ٣

    Which had weighed upon your back

    وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ٤

    And raised high for you your repute.

    فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا٥

    For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.

    إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًۭا٦

    Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.

    فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ٧

    So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].

    وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب٨

    And to your Lord direct [your] longing.

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.

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.
