Chapter 17, Page 283, Juz 15

11. Yet man prays for harm, just as he prays for good: man is ever hasty. 12. We made the night and the day as two signs, then darkened the night and made the daylight for seeing, for you to seek your Lord’s bounty and to know how to count the years and calculate. We have explained everything in detail. 13. We have bound each human being’s destiny to his neck. On the Day of Resurrection, We shall bring out a record for each of them, which they will find spread wide open, 14. ‘Read your record. Today your own soul is enough to calculate your account.’

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
