    Read the passage · Adh-Dhaariyat 1–51

    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

    وَٱلذَّٰرِيَٰتِ ذَرْوًۭا١

    By those [winds] scattering [dust] dispersing

    فَٱلْحَٰمِلَٰتِ وِقْرًۭا٢

    And those [clouds] carrying a load [of water]

    فَٱلْجَٰرِيَٰتِ يُسْرًۭا٣

    And those [ships] sailing with ease

    فَٱلْمُقَسِّمَٰتِ أَمْرًا٤

    And those [angels] apportioning [each] matter,

    إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقٌۭ٥

    Indeed, what you are promised is true.

    وَإِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ لَوَٰقِعٌۭ٦

    And indeed, the recompense is to occur.

    وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْحُبُكِ٧

    By the heaven containing pathways,

    إِنَّكُمْ لَفِى قَوْلٍۢ مُّخْتَلِفٍۢ٨

    Indeed, you are in differing speech.

    يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِكَ٩

    Deluded away from the Qur'an is he who is deluded.

    قُتِلَ ٱلْخَرَّٰصُونَ١٠

    Destroyed are the falsifiers

    ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى غَمْرَةٍۢ سَاهُونَ١١

    Who are within a flood [of confusion] and heedless.

    يَسْـَٔلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ١٢

    They ask, "When is the Day of Recompense?"

    يَوْمَ هُمْ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ يُفْتَنُونَ١٣

    [It is] the Day they will be tormented over the Fire

    ذُوقُوا۟ فِتْنَتَكُمْ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ١٤

    [And will be told], "Taste your torment. This is that for which you were impatient."

    إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍ١٥

    Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs,

    ءَاخِذِينَ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحْسِنِينَ١٦

    Accepting what their Lord has given them. Indeed, they were before that doers of good.

    كَانُوا۟ قَلِيلًۭا مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ١٧

    They used to sleep but little of the night,

    وَبِٱلْأَسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ١٨

    And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness,

    وَفِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّۭ لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ١٩

    And from their properties was [given] the right of the [needy] petitioner and the deprived.

    وَفِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ءَايَٰتٌۭ لِّلْمُوقِنِينَ٢٠

    And on the earth are signs for the certain [in faith]

    وَفِىٓ أَنفُسِكُمْ ۚ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ٢١

    And in yourselves. Then will you not see?

    وَفِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزْقُكُمْ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ٢٢

    And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promised.

    فَوَرَبِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقٌّۭ مِّثْلَ مَآ أَنَّكُمْ تَنطِقُونَ٢٣

    Then by the Lord of the heaven and earth, indeed, it is truth - just as [sure as] it is that you are speaking.

    هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيْفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلْمُكْرَمِينَ٢٤

    Has there reached you the story of the honored guests of Abraham? -

    إِذْ دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا۟ سَلَٰمًۭا ۖ قَالَ سَلَٰمٌۭ قَوْمٌۭ مُّنكَرُونَ٢٥

    When they entered upon him and said, "[We greet you with] peace." He answered, "[And upon you] peace, [you are] a people unknown.

    فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ فَجَآءَ بِعِجْلٍۢ سَمِينٍۢ٢٦

    Then he went to his family and came with a fat [roasted] calf

    فَقَرَّبَهُۥٓ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ٢٧

    And placed it near them; he said, "Will you not eat?"

    فَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةًۭ ۖ قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفْ ۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ عَلِيمٍۢ٢٨

    And he felt from them apprehension. They said, "Fear not," and gave him good tidings of a learned boy.

    فَأَقْبَلَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ فِى صَرَّةٍۢ فَصَكَّتْ وَجْهَهَا وَقَالَتْ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٌۭ٢٩

    And his wife approached with a cry [of alarm] and struck her face and said, "[I am] a barren old woman!"

    قَالُوا۟ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ٣٠

    They said, "Thus has said your Lord; indeed, He is the Wise, the Knowing."

    ۞ قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ٣١

    [Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"

    قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍۢ مُّجْرِمِينَ٣٢

    They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals

    لِنُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةًۭ مِّن طِينٍۢ٣٣

    To send down upon them stones of clay,

    مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ٣٤

    Marked in the presence of your Lord for the transgressors."

    فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ٣٥

    So We brought out whoever was in the cities of the believers.

    فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ٣٦

    And We found not within them other than a [single] house of Muslims.

    وَتَرَكْنَا فِيهَآ ءَايَةًۭ لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ٣٧

    And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.

    وَفِى مُوسَىٰٓ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ بِسُلْطَٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ٣٨

    And in Moses [was a sign], when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority.

    فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكْنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَٰحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌۭ٣٩

    But he turned away with his supporters and said," A magician or a madman."

    فَأَخَذْنَٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذْنَٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌۭ٤٠

    So We took him and his soldiers and cast them into the sea, and he was blameworthy.

  2. Jumu'ah

    Al-A'laa and Al-Ghaashiya

    Imam: Abdullah Al-Juhany

    Read the passage · Al-A'laa

    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

    سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى١

    Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,

    ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ٢

    Who created and proportioned

    وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ٣

    And who destined and [then] guided

    وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ٤

    And who brings out the pasture

    فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ٥

    And [then] makes it black stubble.

    سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ٦

    We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget,

    إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ٧

    Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.

    وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ٨

    And We will ease you toward ease.

    فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ٩

    So remind, if the reminder should benefit;

    سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ١٠

    He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.

    وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى١١

    But the wretched one will avoid it -

    ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ١٢

    [He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,

    ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ١٣

    Neither dying therein nor living.

    قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ١٤

    He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

    وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ١٥

    And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

    بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا١٦

    But you prefer the worldly life,

    وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ١٧

    While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

    إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ١٨

    Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,

    صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ١٩

    The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.

    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

    هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْغَٰشِيَةِ١

    Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?

    وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَٰشِعَةٌ٢

    [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled,

    عَامِلَةٌۭ نَّاصِبَةٌۭ٣

    Working [hard] and exhausted.

    تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةًۭ٤

    They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire.

    تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ ءَانِيَةٍۢ٥

    They will be given drink from a boiling spring.

    لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍۢ٦

    For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant

    لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِن جُوعٍۢ٧

    Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.

    وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ نَّاعِمَةٌۭ٨

    [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure.

    لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌۭ٩

    With their effort [they are] satisfied

    فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۢ١٠

    In an elevated garden,

    لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَٰغِيَةًۭ١١

    Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.

    فِيهَا عَيْنٌۭ جَارِيَةٌۭ١٢

    Within it is a flowing spring.

    فِيهَا سُرُرٌۭ مَّرْفُوعَةٌۭ١٣

    Within it are couches raised high

    وَأَكْوَابٌۭ مَّوْضُوعَةٌۭ١٤

    And cups put in place

    وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌۭ١٥

    And cushions lined up

    وَزَرَابِىُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ١٦

    And carpets spread around.

    أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ١٧

    Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created?

    وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ١٨

    And at the sky - how it is raised?

    وَإِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ١٩

    And at the mountains - how they are erected?

    وَإِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ٢٠

    And at the earth - how it is spread out?

    فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌۭ٢١

    So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder.

    لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ٢٢

    You are not over them a controller.

    إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ٢٣

    However, he who turns away and disbelieves -

    فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَكْبَرَ٢٤

    Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.

    إِنَّ إِلَيْنَآ إِيَابَهُمْ٢٥

    Indeed, to Us is their return.

    ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم٢٦

    Then indeed, upon Us is their account.

  3. Maghrib

    Luqman 31–34 and Al-Fajr 21–30

    Imam: Bandar Baleelah

    Read the passage · Luqman 31–34

    أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱلْفُلْكَ تَجْرِى فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ بِنِعْمَتِ ٱللَّهِ لِيُرِيَكُم مِّنْ ءَايَٰتِهِۦٓ ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍۢ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍۢ شَكُورٍۢ٣١

    Do you not see that ships sail through the sea by the favor of Allah that He may show you of His signs? Indeed in that are signs for everyone patient and grateful.

    وَإِذَا غَشِيَهُم مَّوْجٌۭ كَٱلظُّلَلِ دَعَوُا۟ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّىٰهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّ فَمِنْهُم مُّقْتَصِدٌۭ ۚ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ إِلَّا كُلُّ خَتَّارٍۢ كَفُورٍۢ٣٢

    And when waves come over them like canopies, they supplicate Allah, sincere to Him in religion. But when He delivers them to the land, there are [some] of them who are moderate [in faith]. And none rejects Our signs except everyone treacherous and ungrateful.

    يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱتَّقُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ وَٱخْشَوْا۟ يَوْمًۭا لَّا يَجْزِى وَالِدٌ عَن وَلَدِهِۦ وَلَا مَوْلُودٌ هُوَ جَازٍ عَن وَالِدِهِۦ شَيْـًٔا ۚ إِنَّ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقٌّۭ ۖ فَلَا تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكُم بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْغَرُورُ٣٣

    O mankind, fear your Lord and fear a Day when no father will avail his son, nor will a son avail his father at all. Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth, so let not the worldly life delude you and be not deceived about Allah by the Deceiver.

    إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عِندَهُۥ عِلْمُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ ٱلْغَيْثَ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِى ٱلْأَرْحَامِ ۖ وَمَا تَدْرِى نَفْسٌۭ مَّاذَا تَكْسِبُ غَدًۭا ۖ وَمَا تَدْرِى نَفْسٌۢ بِأَىِّ أَرْضٍۢ تَمُوتُ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌۢ٣٤

    Indeed, Allah [alone] has knowledge of the Hour and sends down the rain and knows what is in the wombs. And no soul perceives what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul perceives in what land it will die. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.

    Read the passage · Al-Fajr 21–30

    كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّۭا دَكًّۭا٢١

    No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed -

    وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّۭا صَفًّۭا٢٢

    And your Lord has come and the angels, rank upon rank,

    وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ٢٣

    And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell - that Day, man will remember, but what good to him will be the remembrance?

    يَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى٢٤

    He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life."

    فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ٢٥

    So on that Day, none will punish [as severely] as His punishment,

    وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ٢٦

    And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers].

    يَٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ٢٧

    [To the righteous it will be said], "O reassured soul,

    ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةًۭ مَّرْضِيَّةًۭ٢٨

    Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him],

    فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَٰدِى٢٩

    And enter among My [righteous] servants

    وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى٣٠

    And enter My Paradise."

    Read the passage · Al-Burooj

    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

    وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْبُرُوجِ١

    By the sky containing great stars

    وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْمَوْعُودِ٢

    And [by] the promised Day

    وَشَاهِدٍۢ وَمَشْهُودٍۢ٣

    And [by] the witness and what is witnessed,

    قُتِلَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأُخْدُودِ٤

    Cursed were the companions of the trench

    ٱلنَّارِ ذَاتِ ٱلْوَقُودِ٥

    [Containing] the fire full of fuel,

    إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌۭ٦

    When they were sitting near it

    وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌۭ٧

    And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses.

    وَمَا نَقَمُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَمِيدِ٨

    And they resented them not except because they believed in Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy,

    ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ شَهِيدٌ٩

    To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, over all things, is Witness.

    إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا۟ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا۟ فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ ٱلْحَرِيقِ١٠

    Indeed, those who have tortured the believing men and believing women and then have not repented will have the punishment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the Burning Fire.

    إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّٰتٌۭ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ١١

    Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds will have gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great attainment.

    إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ١٢

    Indeed, the vengeance of your Lord is severe.

    إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ١٣

    Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats.

    وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلْوَدُودُ١٤

    And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate,

    ذُو ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْمَجِيدُ١٥

    Honorable Owner of the Throne,

    فَعَّالٌۭ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ١٦

    Effecter of what He intends.

    هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْجُنُودِ١٧

    Has there reached you the story of the soldiers -

    فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ١٨

    [Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud?

    بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِى تَكْذِيبٍۢ١٩

    But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial,

    وَٱللَّهُ مِن وَرَآئِهِم مُّحِيطٌۢ٢٠

    While Allah encompasses them from behind.

    بَلْ هُوَ قُرْءَانٌۭ مَّجِيدٌۭ٢١

    And what can make you know what is the night comer?

    ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ٣

    It is the piercing star -

    إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌۭ٤

    There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.

    فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ٥

    So let man observe from what he was created.

    خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍۢ دَافِقٍۢ٦

    He was created from a fluid, ejected,

    يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ٧

    Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.

    إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌۭ٨

    Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.

    يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ٩

    The Day when secrets will be put on trial,

    فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍۢ وَلَا نَاصِرٍۢ١٠

    Then man will have no power or any helper.

    وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ١١

    By the sky which returns [rain]

    وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ١٢

    And [by] the earth which cracks open,

    إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌۭ فَصْلٌۭ١٣

    Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,

    وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ١٤

    And it is not amusement.

    إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًۭا١٥

    Indeed, they are planning a plan,

    وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًۭا١٦

    But I am planning a plan.

    فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا١٧

    So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.

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.
