    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

    ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ١

    The Most Merciful

    عَلَّمَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ٢

    Taught the Qur'an,

    خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ٣

    Created man,

    عَلَّمَهُ ٱلْبَيَانَ٤

    [And] taught him eloquence.

    ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ بِحُسْبَانٍۢ٥

    The sun and the moon [move] by precise calculation,

    وَٱلنَّجْمُ وَٱلشَّجَرُ يَسْجُدَانِ٦

    And the stars and trees prostrate.

    وَٱلسَّمَآءَ رَفَعَهَا وَوَضَعَ ٱلْمِيزَانَ٧

    And the heaven He raised and imposed the balance

    أَلَّا تَطْغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْمِيزَانِ٨

    That you not transgress within the balance.

    وَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلْوَزْنَ بِٱلْقِسْطِ وَلَا تُخْسِرُوا۟ ٱلْمِيزَانَ٩

    And establish weight in justice and do not make deficient the balance.

    وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَضَعَهَا لِلْأَنَامِ١٠

    And the earth He laid [out] for the creatures.

    فِيهَا فَٰكِهَةٌۭ وَٱلنَّخْلُ ذَاتُ ٱلْأَكْمَامِ١١

    Therein is fruit and palm trees having sheaths [of dates]

    وَٱلْحَبُّ ذُو ٱلْعَصْفِ وَٱلرَّيْحَانُ١٢

    And grain having husks and scented plants.

    فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ١٣

    So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

    خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مِن صَلْصَٰلٍۢ كَٱلْفَخَّارِ١٤

    He created man from clay like [that of] pottery.

    وَخَلَقَ ٱلْجَآنَّ مِن مَّارِجٍۢ مِّن نَّارٍۢ١٥

    And He created the jinn from a smokeless flame of fire.

    فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ١٦

    So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

    رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقَيْنِ وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَغْرِبَيْنِ١٧

    [He is] Lord of the two sunrises and Lord of the two sunsets.

    فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ١٨

    So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

    مَرَجَ ٱلْبَحْرَيْنِ يَلْتَقِيَانِ١٩

    He released the two seas, meeting [side by side];

    بَيْنَهُمَا بَرْزَخٌۭ لَّا يَبْغِيَانِ٢٠

    Between them is a barrier [so] neither of them transgresses.

    فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ٢١

    So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

    يَخْرُجُ مِنْهُمَا ٱللُّؤْلُؤُ وَٱلْمَرْجَانُ٢٢

    From both of them emerge pearl and coral.

    فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ٢٣

    So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

    وَلَهُ ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْمُنشَـَٔاتُ فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ كَٱلْأَعْلَٰمِ٢٤

    And to Him belong the ships [with sails] elevated in the sea like mountains.

    فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ٢٥

    So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

    كُلُّ مَنْ عَلَيْهَا فَانٍۢ٢٦

    Everyone upon the earth will perish,

    وَيَبْقَىٰ وَجْهُ رَبِّكَ ذُو ٱلْجَلَٰلِ وَٱلْإِكْرَامِ٢٧

    And there will remain the Face of your Lord, Owner of Majesty and Honor.

    فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ٢٨

    So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

    يَسْـَٔلُهُۥ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ هُوَ فِى شَأْنٍۢ٢٩

    Whoever is within the heavens and earth asks Him; every day He is bringing about a matter.

    فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ٣٠

    So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

    سَنَفْرُغُ لَكُمْ أَيُّهَ ٱلثَّقَلَانِ٣١

    We will attend to you, O prominent beings.

    فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ٣٢

    So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

    يَٰمَعْشَرَ ٱلْجِنِّ وَٱلْإِنسِ إِنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَن تَنفُذُوا۟ مِنْ أَقْطَارِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱنفُذُوا۟ ۚ لَا تَنفُذُونَ إِلَّا بِسُلْطَٰنٍۢ٣٣

    O company of jinn and mankind, if you are able to pass beyond the regions of the heavens and the earth, then pass. You will not pass except by authority [from Allah].

    فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ٣٤

    So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

    يُرْسَلُ عَلَيْكُمَا شُوَاظٌۭ مِّن نَّارٍۢ وَنُحَاسٌۭ فَلَا تَنتَصِرَانِ٣٥

    So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

    فَإِذَا ٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ وَرْدَةًۭ كَٱلدِّهَانِ٣٧

    And when the heaven is split open and becomes rose-colored like oil -

    فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ٣٨

    So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny? -

    فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّا يُسْـَٔلُ عَن ذَنۢبِهِۦٓ إِنسٌۭ وَلَا جَآنٌّۭ٣٩

    Then on that Day none will be asked about his sin among men or jinn.

    فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ٤٠

    So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

    إِذَا وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ١

    When the Occurrence occurs,

    لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ٢

    There is, at its occurrence, no denial.

    خَافِضَةٌۭ رَّافِعَةٌ٣

    And become dust dispersing.

    وَكُنتُمْ أَزْوَٰجًۭا ثَلَٰثَةًۭ٧

    And you become [of] three kinds:

    فَأَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ مَآ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ٨

    Then the companions of the right - what are the companions of the right?

    وَلَحْمِ طَيْرٍۢ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ٢١

    And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire.

    وَحُورٌ عِينٌۭ٢٢

    Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation

    فَجَعَلْنَٰهُنَّ أَبْكَارًا٣٦

  3. Isha

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.
