    Al-Ahzaab 41–48

    Imam: Maher Al-Muaiqly

    Read the passage · Al-Ahzaab 41–48

    يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱذْكُرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ذِكْرًۭا كَثِيرًۭا٤١

    O you who have believed, remember Allah with much remembrance

    وَسَبِّحُوهُ بُكْرَةًۭ وَأَصِيلًا٤٢

    And exalt Him morning and afternoon.

    هُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُصَلِّى عَلَيْكُمْ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتُهُۥ لِيُخْرِجَكُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ ۚ وَكَانَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَحِيمًۭا٤٣

    It is He who confers blessing upon you, and His angels [ask Him to do so] that He may bring you out from darknesses into the light. And ever is He, to the believers, Merciful.

    تَحِيَّتُهُمْ يَوْمَ يَلْقَوْنَهُۥ سَلَٰمٌۭ ۚ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًۭا كَرِيمًۭا٤٤

    Their greeting the Day they meet Him will be, "Peace." And He has prepared for them a noble reward.

    يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَٰكَ شَٰهِدًۭا وَمُبَشِّرًۭا وَنَذِيرًۭا٤٥

    O Prophet, indeed We have sent you as a witness and a bringer of good tidings and a warner.

    وَدَاعِيًا إِلَى ٱللَّهِ بِإِذْنِهِۦ وَسِرَاجًۭا مُّنِيرًۭا٤٦

    And one who invites to Allah, by His permission, and an illuminating lamp.

    وَبَشِّرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِأَنَّ لَهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ فَضْلًۭا كَبِيرًۭا٤٧

    And give good tidings to the believers that they will have from Allah great bounty.

    وَلَا تُطِعِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ وَٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ وَدَعْ أَذَىٰهُمْ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ وَكِيلًۭا٤٨

    And do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites but do not harm them, and rely upon Allah. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs.

  3. Isha

    An-Najm 1–30

    Imam: Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais

    Read the passage · An-Najm 1–30

    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

    وَٱلنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ١

    By the star when it descends,

    مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَىٰ٢

    Your companion [Muhammad] has not strayed, nor has he erred,

    وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰٓ٣

    Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination.

    إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْىٌۭ يُوحَىٰ٤

    It is not but a revelation revealed,

    عَلَّمَهُۥ شَدِيدُ ٱلْقُوَىٰ٥

    Taught to him by one intense in strength -

    ذُو مِرَّةٍۢ فَٱسْتَوَىٰ٦

    One of soundness. And he rose to [his] true form

    وَهُوَ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ٧

    While he was in the higher [part of the] horizon.

    ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ٨

    Then he approached and descended

    فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَىٰ٩

    And was at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer.

    فَأَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦ مَآ أَوْحَىٰ١٠

    And he revealed to His Servant what he revealed.

    مَا كَذَبَ ٱلْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰٓ١١

    The heart did not lie [about] what it saw.

    أَفَتُمَٰرُونَهُۥ عَلَىٰ مَا يَرَىٰ١٢

    So will you dispute with him over what he saw?

    وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَىٰ١٣

    And he certainly saw him in another descent

    عِندَ سِدْرَةِ ٱلْمُنتَهَىٰ١٤

    At the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary -

    عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰٓ١٥

    Near it is the Garden of Refuge -

    إِذْ يَغْشَى ٱلسِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَىٰ١٦

    When there covered the Lote Tree that which covered [it].

    مَا زَاغَ ٱلْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ١٧

    The sight [of the Prophet] did not swerve, nor did it transgress [its limit].

    لَقَدْ رَأَىٰ مِنْ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ١٨

    He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.

    أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱللَّٰتَ وَٱلْعُزَّىٰ١٩

    So have you considered al-Lat and al-'Uzza?

    وَمَنَوٰةَ ٱلثَّالِثَةَ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰٓ٢٠

    And Manat, the third - the other one?

    أَلَكُمُ ٱلذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ ٱلْأُنثَىٰ٢١

    Is the male for you and for Him the female?

    تِلْكَ إِذًۭا قِسْمَةٌۭ ضِيزَىٰٓ٢٢

    That, then, is an unjust division.

    إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّآ أَسْمَآءٌۭ سَمَّيْتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَٰنٍ ۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهْوَى ٱلْأَنفُسُ ۖ وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مِّن رَّبِّهِمُ ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ٢٣

    They are not but [mere] names you have named them - you and your forefathers - for which Allah has sent down no authority. They follow not except assumption and what [their] souls desire, and there has already come to them from their Lord guidance.

    أَمْ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ مَا تَمَنَّىٰ٢٤

    Or is there for man whatever he wishes?

    فَلِلَّهِ ٱلْءَاخِرَةُ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ٢٥

    Rather, to Allah belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].

    ۞ وَكَم مِّن مَّلَكٍۢ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ لَا تُغْنِى شَفَٰعَتُهُمْ شَيْـًٔا إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ أَن يَأْذَنَ ٱللَّهُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَرْضَىٰٓ٢٦

    And how many angels there are in the heavens whose intercession will not avail at all except [only] after Allah has permitted [it] to whom He wills and approves.

    إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْءَاخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ تَسْمِيَةَ ٱلْأُنثَىٰ٢٧

    Indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter name the angels female names,

    وَمَا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنْ عِلْمٍ ۖ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ ۖ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّنَّ لَا يُغْنِى مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ شَيْـًۭٔا٢٨

    And they have thereof no knowledge. They follow not except assumption, and indeed, assumption avails not against the truth at all.

    فَأَعْرِضْ عَن مَّن تَوَلَّىٰ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَلَمْ يُرِدْ إِلَّا ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا٢٩

    So turn away from whoever turns his back on Our message and desires not except the worldly life.

    ذَٰلِكَ مَبْلَغُهُم مِّنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ٣٠

    That is their sum of knowledge. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who strays from His way, and He is most knowing of who is guided.

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.
