17. Surah Al Isra

The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:  

وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاء وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ...   

17:82.  We send down (stage by stage) in the Qur'án that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe:

...وَلاَ يَزِيدُ الظَّالِمِينَ إَلاَّ خَسَارًا ﴿٨٢﴾

to the unjust it causes nothing but loss after loss.

C2282. In Allah's revelation there is healing for our broken spirits, hope for our spiritual future, and joy in the forgiveness of our sins. All who work in faith will share in these privileges.

It is only the rebels against Allah's Law who will suffer loss. The more they will oppose Truth, the deeper down will they go into the mire-the state of sin and Wrath, which is worse than destruction.

وَبِالْحَقِّ أَنزَلْنَاهُ وَبِالْحَقِّ نَزَلَ...   

17:105. We sent down the (Qur'án) in Truth, and in Truth has it descended:

C2315. The Quran was sent down by Allah in Truth: it was not forged by any mortal.

It has descended in Truth: it was not and has not been falsified or corrupted in the process of being communicated to mankind.

...وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلاَّ مُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيرًا ﴿١٠٥﴾

and We sent thee but to give Glad Tidings and to warn (sinners).

C2316. The part of the Prophet was that of a Messenger: he was not responsible if the ungodly rejected it. He fulfilled his mission in promulgating and explaining it and leaving it as a legacy to the world.

وَقُرْآناً فَرَقْنَاهُ لِتَقْرَأَهُ عَلَى النَّاسِ عَلَى مُكْثٍ...   

17:106. (It is) a Qur'án which We have divided (into parts from time to time), in order that thou mightest recite it to men at intervals:

...وَنَزَّلْنَاهُ تَنزِيلاً ﴿١٠٦﴾

We have revealed it by stages.

17: 82 [al-Israa, mecca 50 ]

Wa nunazzilu minal qur'a_ni ma_ huwa syifa_'uw wa rahmatul lil mu'minin(a), wa la_ yaziduz za_limina illa_ khasa_ra_(n).

Asad Thus, step by step, We bestow from on high through this Quran all that gives health and is a grace unto those who believe, the while it only adds to the ruin of evildoers.

Pickthall And We reveal of the Qur'an that which is a healing and a mercy for believers though it increase the evil-doers in naught save ruin.
