Manzil
مَنْزِل
Manzil (منزل) is a collection of Qur’anic passages commonly recited in South Asia as ruqyah: a prayerful recitation seeking Allah’s protection and healing. People often read it in one sitting, in the morning or evening. The familiar printed selection brings together 18 passages from 14 sūrahs—79 individually numbered verses, although it is traditionally called “the thirty-three verses.” Its arrangement grew from a South Asian family practice rather than from a single revealed chapter: in a preface dated 1399 AH (1979 CE), Muḥammad Ṭalḥa Kandhlawī described how his family recited and taught these passages, then printed them together for convenience. He also identified related selections, with some differences, in earlier works by Shāh Walī Allāh al-Dihlawī and Ashraf ʿAlī Thānawī. The verses are Qur’anic; this particular order and reading schedule are later devotional choices.
This reading edition follows the South Asian Manzil selection in the uploaded booklet: 18 passages from 14 surahs, comprising 79 numbered āyāt. Each verse is presented in Arabic, then Latin transliteration, then a newly written English translation. Long lines wrap within their verse block.
The Arabic uses the Ḥafṣ reading and the common Kūfan verse numbering: the opening bismillāh is 1:1 in al Fātiḥah. The opening formula before seven other surahs is shown as its own three line block and is not counted as a verse of those surahs.
Transliteration key: ā, ī, ū are long vowels; ʿ is ʿayn and ʾ is hamza. The forms ḥ, ṣ, ḍ, ṭ, ẓ and the digraphs kh, gh, sh, th, dh distinguish Arabic consonants. The written al- article is retained even before sun letters. Word endings represent the vocalized text; connected recitation and a pause can sound different.

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْكِتَٰبُ لَا رَيْبَ ۛ فِيهِ ۛ هُدًۭى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ ﴿٢﴾
Dhālika al-kitābu lā rayba fīhi hudan li-al-muttaqīna.
This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guide for those mindful of Allah:
ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْغَيْبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَٰهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ ﴿٣﴾
Alladhīna yuʾminūna bi-al-ghaybi wa-yuqīmūna al-ṣalāta wa-mimmā razaqnāhum yunfiqūna.
those who believe in the unseen, keep up the prayer, and give from what We have provided for them;
وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ مِن قَبْلِكَ وَبِٱلْءَاخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوقِنُونَ ﴿٤﴾
Wa-alladhīna yuʾminūna bi-mā ʾunzila ʾilayka wa-mā ʾunzila min qablika wa-bi-al-ʾākhirati hum yūqinūna.
those who believe in what has been sent down to you and what was sent down before you, and who are certain of the life to come.
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ عَلَىٰ هُدًۭى مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ ۖ وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ ﴿٥﴾
ʾUlāʾika ʿalā hudan min rabbihim wa-ʾulāʾika hum al-mufliḥūna.
Such people follow guidance from their Lord, and they are the ones who prosper.
Al Baqarah 2:163 البقرة
وَإِلَٰهُكُمْ إِلَٰهٌۭ وَٰحِدٌۭ ۖ لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ﴿١٦٣﴾
Wa-ʾilāhukum ʾilāhun wāḥidun; lā ʾilāha ʾillā huwa al-Raḥmānu al-Raḥīmu.
Your God is one God. There is no god but Him, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.
Al Baqarah 2:255–257 البقرة
ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْحَىُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُۥ سِنَةٌۭ وَلَا نَوْمٌۭ ۚ لَّهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِۦ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَىْءٍۢ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَـُٔودُهُۥ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَلِىُّ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ﴿٢٥٥﴾
Allāhu lā ʾilāha ʾillā huwa al-Ḥayyu al-Qayyūmu; lā taʾkhudhuhu sinatun wa-lā nawmun; lahu mā fī al-samāwāti wa-mā fī al-ʾarḍi; man dhā alladhī yashfaʿu ʿindahu ʾillā bi-ʾidhnihi? Yaʿlamu mā bayna ʾaydīhim wa-mā khalfahum; wa-lā yuḥīṭūna bi-shayʾin min ʿilmihi ʾillā bi-mā shāʾa; wasiʿa kursiyyuhu al-samāwāti wa-al-ʾarḍa; wa-lā yaʾūduhu ḥifẓuhumā; wa-huwa al-ʿAliyyu al-ʿAẓīmu.
Allah—there is no god but Him, the Ever-Living, the One who sustains all. Neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him. Everything in the heavens and on the earth belongs to Him. Who can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what lies before them and what lies behind them, while they encompass nothing of His knowledge except what He wills. His Kursī encompasses the heavens and the earth, and preserving them does not weary Him. He is the Most High, the Magnificent.
لَآ إِكْرَاهَ فِى ٱلدِّينِ ۖ قَد تَّبَيَّنَ ٱلرُّشْدُ مِنَ ٱلْغَىِّ ۚ فَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِٱلطَّٰغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدِ ٱسْتَمْسَكَ بِٱلْعُرْوَةِ ٱلْوُثْقَىٰ لَا ٱنفِصَامَ لَهَا ۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ ﴿٢٥٦﴾
Lā ʾikrāha fī al-dīni; qad tabayyana al-rushdu mina al-ghayyi; fa-man yakfur bi-al-ṭāghūti wa-yuʾmin bi-Allāhi fa-qadi istamsaka bi-al-ʿurwati al-wuthqā lā infiṣāma lahā; wa-Allāhu samīʿun ʿalīmun.
There is no compulsion in religion: the right way has become distinct from error. Whoever rejects false objects of worship and believes in Allah has taken hold of the firmest handhold, which will never break. Allah hears all and knows all.
ٱللَّهُ وَلِىُّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يُخْرِجُهُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ ۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ أَوْلِيَآؤُهُمُ ٱلطَّٰغُوتُ يُخْرِجُونَهُم مِّنَ ٱلنُّورِ إِلَى ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ ۗ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ ﴿٢٥٧﴾
Allāhu waliyyu alladhīna ʾāmanū yukhrijuhum mina al-ẓulumāti ʾilā al-nūri; wa-alladhīna kafarū ʾawliyāʾuhum al-ṭāghūtu yukhrijūnahum mina al-nūri ʾilā al-ẓulumāti; ʾulāʾika ʾaṣḥābu al-nāri hum fīhā khālidūna.
Allah is the protecting friend of those who believe. He brings them out of darkness into light. As for those who reject faith, their protecting friends are false powers that lead them out of light into darkness. They are the people of the Fire, where they will remain.
Al Baqarah 2:284–286 البقرة
لِّلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ وَإِن تُبْدُوا۟ مَا فِىٓ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ يُحَاسِبْكُم بِهِ ٱللَّهُ ۖ فَيَغْفِرُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَآءُ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ قَدِيرٌ ﴿٢٨٤﴾
Li-Allāhi mā fī al-samāwāti wa-mā fī al-ʾarḍi; wa-ʾin tubdū mā fī ʾanfusikum ʾaw tukhfūhu yuḥāsibkum bihi Allāhu; fa-yaghfiru li-man yashāʾu wa-yuʿadhdhibu man yashāʾu; wa-Allāhu ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīrun.
Everything in the heavens and on the earth belongs to Allah. Whether you disclose what is within yourselves or conceal it, Allah will call you to account for it. He then forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills. Allah has power over all things.
ءَامَنَ ٱلرَّسُولُ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِن رَّبِّهِۦ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۚ كُلٌّ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتِهِۦ وَكُتُبِهِۦ وَرُسُلِهِۦ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍۢ مِّن رُّسُلِهِۦ ۚ وَقَالُوا۟ سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا ۖ غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ ﴿٢٨٥﴾
ʾĀmana al-rasūlu bi-mā ʾunzila ʾilayhi min rabbihi wa-al-muʾminūna; kullun ʾāmana bi-Allāhi wa-malāʾikatihi wa-kutubihi wa-rusulihi; lā nufarriqu bayna ʾaḥadin min rusulihi; wa-qālū samiʿnā wa-ʾaṭaʿnā, ghufrānaka rabbanā wa-ʾilayka al-maṣīru.
The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, as do the believers. All believe in Allah, His angels, His books, and His messengers. ‘We make no distinction among any of His messengers,’ they say. ‘We hear and obey. We ask Your forgiveness, our Lord; to You is the final return.’
لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۚ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا ٱكْتَسَبَتْ ۗ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَآ إِن نَّسِينَآ أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَآ إِصْرًۭا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُۥ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِۦ ۖ وَٱعْفُ عَنَّا وَٱغْفِرْ لَنَا وَٱرْحَمْنَآ ۚ أَنتَ مَوْلَىٰنَا فَٱنصُرْنَا عَلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ ﴿٢٨٦﴾
Lā yukallifu Allāhu nafsan ʾillā wusʿahā; lahā mā kasabat wa-ʿalayhā mā iktasabat; rabbanā lā tuʾākhidhnā ʾin nasīnā ʾaw ʾakhṭaʾnā; rabbanā wa-lā taḥmil ʿalaynā ʾiṣran kamā ḥamaltahu ʿalā alladhīna min qablinā; rabbanā wa-lā tuḥammilnā mā lā ṭāqata lanā bihi; wa-uʿfu ʿannā wa-ighfir lanā wa-irḥamnā; ʾanta mawlānā fa-unṣurnā ʿalā al-qawmi al-kāfirīna.
Allah does not burden any soul beyond its capacity. It gains the benefit of what it has earned and bears the consequence of what it has done. ‘Our Lord, do not hold us to account if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord, do not lay on us a burden like the one You laid on those before us. Our Lord, do not make us bear what we cannot endure. Pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our Protector, so help us against those who reject faith.’
Āl ʿImrān 3:18 آل عمران
شَهِدَ ٱللَّهُ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَأُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمِ قَآئِمًۢا بِٱلْقِسْطِ ۚ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ﴿١٨﴾
Shahida Allāhu ʾannahu lā ʾilāha ʾillā huwa wa-al-malāʾikatu wa-ʾulū al-ʿilmi qāʾiman bi-al-qisṭi; lā ʾilāha ʾillā huwa al-ʿAzīzu al-Ḥakīmu.
Allah bears witness that there is no god but Him; so do the angels and those endowed with knowledge. He upholds justice. There is no god but Him, the Almighty, the All-Wise.
Āl ʿImrān 3:26–27 آل عمران
قُلِ ٱللَّهُمَّ مَٰلِكَ ٱلْمُلْكِ تُؤْتِى ٱلْمُلْكَ مَن تَشَآءُ وَتَنزِعُ ٱلْمُلْكَ مِمَّن تَشَآءُ وَتُعِزُّ مَن تَشَآءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَن تَشَآءُ ۖ بِيَدِكَ ٱلْخَيْرُ ۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ قَدِيرٌۭ ﴿٢٦﴾
Quli Allāhumma Mālika al-mulki tuʾtī al-mulka man tashāʾu wa-tanziʿu al-mulka mimman tashāʾu wa-tuʿizzu man tashāʾu wa-tudhillu man tashāʾu; bi-yadika al-khayru; ʾinnaka ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīrun.
Say, ‘O Allah, Master of all sovereignty, You grant sovereignty to whom You will and take it from whom You will. You honor whom You will and humble whom You will. All good rests in Your hand. You have power over all things.’
تُولِجُ ٱلَّيْلَ فِى ٱلنَّهَارِ وَتُولِجُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فِى ٱلَّيْلِ ۖ وَتُخْرِجُ ٱلْحَىَّ مِنَ ٱلْمَيِّتِ وَتُخْرِجُ ٱلْمَيِّتَ مِنَ ٱلْحَىِّ ۖ وَتَرْزُقُ مَن تَشَآءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍۢ ﴿٢٧﴾
Tūliju al-layla fī al-nahāri wa-tūliju al-nahāra fī al-layli; wa-tukhriju al-ḥayya mina al-mayyiti wa-tukhriju al-mayyita mina al-ḥayyi; wa-tarzuqu man tashāʾu bi-ghayri ḥisābin.
‘You bring night into day and day into night; You bring the living from the dead and the dead from the living; and You provide for whom You will without measure.’
Al Aʿrāf 7:54–56 الأعراف
إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍۢ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ يُغْشِى ٱلَّيْلَ ٱلنَّهَارَ يَطْلُبُهُۥ حَثِيثًۭا وَٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ وَٱلنُّجُومَ مُسَخَّرَٰتٍۭ بِأَمْرِهِۦٓ ۗ أَلَا لَهُ ٱلْخَلْقُ وَٱلْأَمْرُ ۗ تَبَارَكَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿٥٤﴾
ʾInna rabbakumu Allāhu alladhī khalaqa al-samāwāti wa-al-ʾarḍa fī sittati ʾayyāmin thumma istawā ʿalā al-ʿarshi; yughshī al-layla al-nahāra yaṭlubuhu ḥathīthan, wa-al-shamsa wa-al-qamara wa-al-nujūma musakhkharātin bi-ʾamrihi; ʾalā lahu al-khalqu wa-al-ʾamru; tabāraka Allāhu rabbu al-ʿālamīna.
Your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then established Himself over the Throne. He cloaks the day in night, which pursues it swiftly. The sun, moon, and stars are subject to His command. Surely creation and command belong to Him alone. Blessed is Allah, Lord of all worlds.
ٱدْعُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعًۭا وَخُفْيَةً ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُعْتَدِينَ ﴿٥٥﴾
Udʿū rabbakum taḍarruʿan wa-khufyatan; ʾinnahu lā yuḥibbu al-muʿtadīna.
Call upon your Lord humbly and quietly. He does not love those who overstep the bounds.
وَلَا تُفْسِدُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلَٰحِهَا وَٱدْعُوهُ خَوْفًۭا وَطَمَعًا ۚ إِنَّ رَحْمَتَ ٱللَّهِ قَرِيبٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿٥٦﴾
Wa-lā tufsidū fī al-ʾarḍi baʿda ʾiṣlāḥihā wa-udʿūhu khawfan wa-ṭamaʿan; ʾinna raḥmata Allāhi qarībun mina al-muḥsinīna.
Do not spread corruption on the earth after it has been set right. Call upon Him with fear and hope. Allah’s mercy is near to those who do good.
Al Isrāʾ 17:110–111 الإسراء
قُلِ ٱدْعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ أَوِ ٱدْعُوا۟ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنَ ۖ أَيًّۭا مَّا تَدْعُوا۟ فَلَهُ ٱلْأَسْمَآءُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ۚ وَلَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا وَٱبْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ سَبِيلًۭا ﴿١١٠﴾
Quli udʿū Allāha ʾaw udʿū al-Raḥmāna; ʾayyan mā tadʿū fa-lahu al-ʾasmāʾu al-ḥusnā; wa-lā tajhar bi-ṣalātika wa-lā tukhāfit bihā wa-ibtaghi bayna dhālika sabīlan.
Say, ‘Call upon Allah, or call upon the Most Compassionate. Whichever name you use, the most beautiful names belong to Him.’ Do not raise your voice too much in prayer or lower it too much; seek a way between the two.
وَقُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَدًۭا وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ شَرِيكٌۭ فِى ٱلْمُلْكِ وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ وَلِىٌّۭ مِّنَ ٱلذُّلِّ ۖ وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيرًۢا ﴿١١١﴾
Wa-quli al-ḥamdu li-Allāhi alladhī lam yattakhidh waladan wa-lam yakun lahu sharīkun fī al-mulki wa-lam yakun lahu waliyyun mina al-dhulli; wa-kabbirhu takbīran.
And say, ‘All praise belongs to Allah, who has taken no child, has no partner in His sovereignty, and needs no protector against weakness.’ Proclaim His greatness as it deserves to be proclaimed.
Al Muʾminūn 23:115–118 المؤمنون
أَفَحَسِبْتُمْ أَنَّمَا خَلَقْنَٰكُمْ عَبَثًۭا وَأَنَّكُمْ إِلَيْنَا لَا تُرْجَعُونَ ﴿١١٥﴾
ʾA-fa-ḥasibtum ʾannamā khalaqnākum ʿabathan wa-ʾannakum ʾilaynā lā turjaʿūna?
Did you think We created you without purpose and that you would not be brought back to Us?
فَتَعَٰلَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلْحَقُّ ۖ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْكَرِيمِ ﴿١١٦﴾
Fa-taʿālā Allāhu al-Maliku al-Ḥaqqu; lā ʾilāha ʾillā huwa rabbu al-ʿarshi al-karīmi.
Exalted is Allah, the true Sovereign! There is no god but Him, Lord of the noble Throne.
وَمَن يَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ لَا بُرْهَٰنَ لَهُۥ بِهِۦ فَإِنَّمَا حِسَابُهُۥ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦٓ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ ﴿١١٧﴾
Wa-man yadʿu maʿa Allāhi ʾilāhan ʾākhara lā burhāna lahu bihi fa-ʾinnamā ḥisābuhu ʿinda rabbihi; ʾinnahu lā yufliḥu al-kāfirūna.
Whoever calls upon another god alongside Allah, with no proof for doing so, will answer to their Lord alone. Those who reject the truth will not prosper.
وَقُل رَّبِّ ٱغْفِرْ وَٱرْحَمْ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ ﴿١١٨﴾
Wa-qul rabbi ighfir wa-irḥam wa-ʾanta khayru al-rāḥimīna.
And say, ‘My Lord, forgive and show mercy; You are the best of those who show mercy.’
Al Ṣāffāt 37:1–11 الصافات
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Bismi Allāhi al-Raḥmāni al-Raḥīmi.

ʾInna ʾilāhakum la-wāḥidun
surely your God is One—
رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ ﴿٥﴾
Rabbu al-samāwāti wa-al-arḍi wa-mā baynahumā wa-rabbu al-mashāriqi
the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, and the Lord of all points of sunrise.
إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ ﴿٦﴾
ʾInnā zayyannā al-samāʾa al-dunyā bi-zīnatin al-kawākibi
We have adorned the nearest heaven with the beauty of the stars,

Wa-ḥifẓan min kulli shayṭānin māridin

لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍۢ ﴿٨﴾
Lā yassammaʿūna ʾilā al-malaʾi al-aʿlā wa-yuqdhafūna min kulli jānibin
They cannot listen to the highest assembly; they are pelted from every side,
دُحُورًۭا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌۭ وَاصِبٌ ﴿٩﴾
Duḥūran wa-lahum ʿadhābun wāṣibun
driven away, and a lasting punishment awaits them—
إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌۭ ثَاقِبٌۭ ﴿١٠﴾
ʾIllā man khaṭifa al-khaṭfata fa-ʾatbaʿahu shihābun thāqibun
except for one who snatches a fragment of what is heard; a piercing flame pursues him.
فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٍۢ لَّازِبٍۭ ﴿١١﴾

O company of jinn and humans, if you can pass beyond the bounds of the heavens and the earth, then pass beyond them. You will not pass except with authority.

Fa-bi-ʾayyi ʾālāʾi rabbikumā tukadhdhibāni
which of your Lord’s gifts, then, will you both deny?

Fa-yawmaʾidhin lā yusʾalu ʿan dhanbihi ʾinsun wa-lā jānnun
On that Day, neither human nor jinn will be asked about their sin.

Fa-bi-ʾayyi ʾālāʾi rabbikumā tukadhdhibāni

Had We sent this Qur’an down upon a mountain, you would have seen it humbled and breaking apart in awe of Allah. We offer people such examples so that they may reflect.

He is Allah: there is no god but Him—the Sovereign, the Holy, the Source of Peace, the Giver of Security, the Guardian, the Mighty, the Compeller, the Supremely Great. Glory be to Allah above all they associate with Him.
هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْخَٰلِقُ ٱلْبَارِئُ ٱلْمُصَوِّرُ ۖ لَهُ ٱلْأَسْمَآءُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ۚ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ﴿٢٤﴾

Sources and editorial notes
Selection and order. The uploaded 16 page Manzil English booklet published by Noore Hidayat lists the passage ranges followed here. Its traditional description of “33 verses” conflicts with the 79 individually numbered āyāt in its own contents list.
Arabic text. The fully vocalized Unicode passages follow the AlQurani Manzil reading page, which credits the King Fahd Qurʾān Printing Complex QPC V4 data through the Quranic Universal Library. The Arabic was separated at canonical verse boundaries without changing its words, vowel signs, or pause marks, and all 79 verses were checked against Quran.com. The only difference found was a Unicode hamza encoding in 2:4, with the same reading. The verse numbers displayed here are editorial.
Translation. The English in this document was written anew from the Arabic. In the uploaded booklet, the English alongside 2:284–286 instead translates 2:264–266; it was not used here. The booklet also leaves the bismillāh outside its al Fātiḥah verse numbering, whereas this edition uses the common Kūfan numbering with bismillāh as 1:1.
For 55:35, nuḥās is rendered “molten copper”; classical explanation also permits “smoke.” This transliteration represents the vocalized written forms rather than a full tajwīd pronunciation guide.
