    وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ٢

    And We removed from you your burden

    ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ٣

    وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ٤

  3. Isha

    the close of Al-Munaafiqoon and At-Tin

    Imam: Khalid Al-Ghamdi

    Read the passage · At-Tin

    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

    وَٱلتِّينِ وَٱلزَّيْتُونِ١

    By the fig and the olive

    وَطُورِ سِينِينَ٢

    And [by] Mount Sinai

    وَهَٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ ٱلْأَمِينِ٣

    And [by] this secure city [Makkah],

    لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ فِىٓ أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍۢ٤

    We have certainly created man in the best of stature;

    ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَٰهُ أَسْفَلَ سَٰفِلِينَ٥

    Then We return him to the lowest of the low,

    إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ فَلَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۢ٦

    Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds, for they will have a reward uninterrupted.

    فَمَا يُكَذِّبُكَ بَعْدُ بِٱلدِّينِ٧

    So what yet causes you to deny the Recompense?

    أَلَيْسَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَحْكَمِ ٱلْحَٰكِمِينَ٨

    Is not Allah the most just of judges?

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.
