29:1

الٓمٓ ﴿١﴾

Alif-Lām-Mīm

Alif. Lam. Mim.

29:2

أَحَسِبَ ٱلنَّاسُ أَن يُتْرَكُوٓا۟ أَن يَقُولُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا وَهُمْ لَا يُفْتَنُونَ ﴿٢﴾

Aḥasiba an-nāsu an yutrakū an yaqūlū āmannā wahum lā yuftanūn

Do men imagine that they will be left (at ease) because they say, We believe, and will not be tested with affliction?

29:3

وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۖ فَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ صَدَقُوا۟ وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ ﴿٣﴾

Walaqad fatannā alladhīna min qablihim falayaʿlamanna Allāhu alladhīna ṣadaqū walayaʿlamanna al-kādhibīn

Lo! We tested those who were before you. Thus Allah knoweth those who are sincere, and knoweth those who feign.

29:4

أَمْ حَسِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ أَن يَسْبِقُونَا ۚ سَآءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ ﴿٤﴾

Am ḥasiba alladhīna yaʿmalūna as-sayyiʾāti an yasbiqūnā sāʾa mā yaḥkumūn

Or do those who do ill-deeds imagine that they can outstrip Us? Evil (for them) is that which they decide.

29:5

مَن كَانَ يَرْجُوا۟ لِقَآءَ ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّ أَجَلَ ٱللَّهِ لَـَٔاتٍ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ﴿٥﴾

Man kāna yarjū liqāʾa Allāhi faʾinna ajala Allāhi laʾātin wahuwa as-samīʿu al-ʿalīm

Whoso looketh forward to the meeting with Allah (let him know that) Allah's reckoning is surely nigh, and He is the Hearer, the Knower.

29:6

وَمَن جَـٰهَدَ فَإِنَّمَا يُجَـٰهِدُ لِنَفْسِهِۦٓ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَغَنِىٌّ عَنِ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ﴿٦﴾

Waman jāhada faʾinnamā yujāhidu linafsihi inna Allāha laghaniyyun ʿani al-ʿālamīn

And whosoever striveth, striveth only for himself, for lo! Allah is altogether Independent of (His) creatures.

29:7

وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَنُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَحْسَنَ ٱلَّذِى كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٧﴾

Walladhīna āmanū waʿamilū aṣ-ṣāliḥāti lanukaffiranna ʿanhum sayyiʾātihim walanajziyannahum aḥsana alladhī kānū yaʿmalūn

And as for those who believe and do good works, We shall remit from them their evil deeds and shall repay them the best that they did.

29:8

وَوَصَّيْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ بِوَٰلِدَيْهِ حُسْنًا ۖ وَإِن جَـٰهَدَاكَ لِتُشْرِكَ بِى مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَآ ۚ إِلَىَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٨﴾

Wawaṣṣaynā al-insāna biwālidayhi ḥusnan waʾin jāhadāka litushrika bī mā laysa laka bihi ʿilmun falā tuṭiʿhumā ilayya marjiʿukum faʾunabbiʾukum bimā kuntum taʿmalūn

We have enjoined on man kindness to parents; but if they strive to make thee join with Me that of which thou hast no knowledge, then obey them not. Unto Me is your return and I shall tell you what ye used to do.

29:9

وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَنُدْخِلَنَّهُمْ فِى ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ﴿٩﴾

Walladhīna āmanū waʿamilū aṣ-ṣāliḥāti lanudkhilannahum fī aṣ-ṣāliḥīn

And as for those who believe and do good works, We verily shall make them enter in among the righteous.

29:10

وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ فَإِذَآ أُوذِىَ فِى ٱللَّهِ جَعَلَ فِتْنَةَ ٱلنَّاسِ كَعَذَابِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَئِن جَآءَ نَصْرٌ مِّن رَّبِّكَ لَيَقُولُنَّ إِنَّا كُنَّا مَعَكُمْ ۚ أَوَلَيْسَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَعْلَمَ بِمَا فِى صُدُورِ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ﴿١٠﴾

Wamina an-nāsi man yaqūlu āmannā billāhi faʾidhā ūdhiya fī Allāhi jaʿala fitnata an-nāsi kaʿadhābi Allāhi walaʾin jāʾa naṣrun min rabbika layaqūlunna innā kunnā maʿakum awalaysa Allāhu biʾaʿlama bimā fī ṣudūri al-ʿālamīn

Of mankind is he who saith: We believe in Allah, but, if he be made to suffer for the sake of Allah, he mistaketh the persecution of mankind for Allah's punishment; and then, if victory cometh from thy Lord, will say: Lo! we were with you (all the while). Is not Allah Best Aware of what is in the bosoms of (His) creatures?

29:11

وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقِينَ ﴿١١﴾

Walayaʿlamanna Allāhu alladhīna āmanū walayaʿlamanna al-munāfiqīn

Verily Allah knoweth those who believe, and verily He knoweth the hypocrites.

29:12

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱتَّبِعُوا۟ سَبِيلَنَا وَلْنَحْمِلْ خَطَـٰيَـٰكُمْ وَمَا هُم بِحَـٰمِلِينَ مِنْ خَطَـٰيَـٰهُم مِّن شَىْءٍ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ ﴿١٢﴾

Waqāla alladhīna kafarū lilladhīna āmanū ittabiʿū sabīlanā walnaḥmil khaṭāyākum wamā hum biḥāmilīna min khaṭāyāhum min shayʾin innahum lakādhibūn

Those who disbelieve say unto those who believe: Follow our way (of religion) and we verily will bear your sins (for you). They cannot bear aught of their sins. Lo! they verily are liars.

29:13

وَلَيَحْمِلُنَّ أَثْقَالَهُمْ وَأَثْقَالًا مَّعَ أَثْقَالِهِمْ ۖ وَلَيُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ عَمَّا كَانُوا۟ يَفْتَرُونَ ﴿١٣﴾

Walayaḥmilunna athqālahum waʾathqālan maʿa athqālihim walayusʾalunna yawma al-qiyāmati ʿammā kānū yaftarūn

But they verily will bear their own loads and other loads beside their own, and they verily will be questioned on the Day of Resurrection concerning that which they invented.

29:14

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ فَلَبِثَ فِيهِمْ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ إِلَّا خَمْسِينَ عَامًا فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلطُّوفَانُ وَهُمْ ظَـٰلِمُونَ ﴿١٤﴾

Walaqad arsalnā nūḥan ilā qawmihi falabitha fīhim alfa sanatin illā khamsīna ʿāman faʾakhadhahumu aṭ-ṭūfānu wahum ẓālimūn

And verily we sent Noah (as Our messenger) unto his folk, and he continued with them for a thousand years save fifty years; and the flood engulfed them, for they were wrong-doers.

29:15

فَأَنجَيْنَـٰهُ وَأَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلسَّفِينَةِ وَجَعَلْنَـٰهَآ ءَايَةً لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ﴿١٥﴾

Faʾanjaynāhu waʾaṣḥāba as-safīnati wajaʿalnāhā āyatan lilʿālamīn

And We rescued him and those with him in the ship, and made of it a portent for the peoples.

29:16

وَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱتَّقُوهُ ۖ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿١٦﴾

Waʾibrāhīma idh qāla liqawmihi uʿbudū Allāha wāttaqūhu dhālikum khayrun lakum in kuntum taʿlamūn

And Abraham! (Remember) when he said unto his folk: Serve Allah, and keep your duty unto Him; that is better for you if ye did but know.

29:17

إِنَّمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَوْثَـٰنًا وَتَخْلُقُونَ إِفْكًا ۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ لَكُمْ رِزْقًا فَٱبْتَغُوا۟ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرِّزْقَ وَٱعْبُدُوهُ وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ لَهُۥٓ ۖ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ ﴿١٧﴾

Innamā taʿbudūna min dūni Allāhi awthānan watakhluqūna ifkan inna alladhīna taʿbudūna min dūni Allāhi lā yamlikūna lakum rizqan fābtaghū ʿinda Allāhi ar-rizqa wāʿbudūhu wāshkurū lahu ilayhi turjaʿūn

Ye serve instead of Allah only idols, and ye only invent a lie. Lo! those whom ye serve instead of Allah own no provision for you. So seek your provision from Allah, and serve Him, and give thanks unto Him, (for) unto Him ye will be brought back.

29:18

وَإِن تُكَذِّبُوا۟ فَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أُمَمٌ مِّن قَبْلِكُمْ ۖ وَمَا عَلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ إِلَّا ٱلْبَلَـٰغُ ٱلْمُبِينُ ﴿١٨﴾

Waʾin tukadhdhibū faqad kadhdhaba umamun min qablikum wamā ʿalā ar-rasūli illā al-balāghu al-mubīn

But if ye deny, then nations have denied before you. The messenger is only to convey (the message) plainly.

29:19

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ كَيْفَ يُبْدِئُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥٓ ۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ ﴿١٩﴾

Awalam yaraw kayfa yubdiʾu Allāhu al-khalqa thumma yuʿīduhu inna dhālika ʿalā Allāhi yasīr

See they not how Allah produceth creation, then reproduceth it? Lo! for Allah that is easy.

29:20

قُلْ سِيرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ بَدَأَ ٱلْخَلْقَ ۚ ثُمَّ ٱللَّهُ يُنشِئُ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ﴿٢٠﴾

Qul sīrū fī al-arḍi fānẓurū kayfa badaʾa al-khalqa thumma Allāhu yunshiʾu an-nashʾata al-ākhirata inna Allāha ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīr

Say (O Muhammad): Travel in the land and see how He originated creation, then Allah bringeth forth the later growth. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.

29:21

يُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَرْحَمُ مَن يَشَآءُ ۖ وَإِلَيْهِ تُقْلَبُونَ ﴿٢١﴾

Yuʿadhdhibu man yashāʾu wayarḥamu man yashāʾu waʾilayhi tuqlabūn

He punisheth whom He will and showeth mercy unto whom He will, and unto Him ye will be turned.

29:22

وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ ۖ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِىٍّ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ ﴿٢٢﴾

Wamā antum bimuʿjizīna fī al-arḍi walā fī as-samāʾi wamā lakum min dūni Allāhi min waliyyin walā naṣīr

Ye cannot escape (from Him) in the earth or in the sky, and beside Allah there is for you no friend or helper.

29:23

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَلِقَآئِهِۦٓ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ يَئِسُوا۟ مِن رَّحْمَتِى وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ﴿٢٣﴾

Walladhīna kafarū biʾāyāti Allāhi waliqāʾihi ulāʾika yaʾisū min raḥmatī waʾulāʾika lahum ʿadhābun alīm

Those who disbelieve in the revelations of Allah and in (their) Meeting with Him, such have no hope of My mercy. For such there is a painful doom.

29:24

فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوا۟ ٱقْتُلُوهُ أَوْ حَرِّقُوهُ فَأَنجَىٰهُ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿٢٤﴾

Famā kāna jawāba qawmihi illā an qālū uqtulūhu aw ḥarriqūhu faʾanjāhu Allāhu mina an-nāri inna fī dhālika laʾāyātin liqawmin yuʾminūn

But the answer of his folk was only that they said: "Kill him" or "Burn him." Then Allah saved him from the Fire. Lo! herein verily are portents for folk who believe.

29:25

وَقَالَ إِنَّمَا ٱتَّخَذْتُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَوْثَـٰنًا مَّوَدَّةَ بَيْنِكُمْ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ ثُمَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ يَكْفُرُ بَعْضُكُم بِبَعْضٍ وَيَلْعَنُ بَعْضُكُم بَعْضًا وَمَأْوَىٰكُمُ ٱلنَّارُ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن نَّـٰصِرِينَ ﴿٢٥﴾

Waqāla innamā ittakhadhtum min dūni Allāhi awthānan mawaddata baynikum fī al-ḥayāti ad-dunyā thumma yawma al-qiyāmati yakfuru baʿḍukum bibaʿḍin wayalʿanu baʿḍukum baʿḍan wamaʾwākumu an-nāru wamā lakum min nāṣirīn

He said: Ye have chosen only idols instead of Allah. The love between you is only in the life of the world. Then on the Day of Resurrection ye will deny each other and curse each other, and your abode will be the Fire, and ye will have no helpers.

29:26

۞ فَـَٔامَنَ لَهُۥ لُوطٌ ۘ وَقَالَ إِنِّى مُهَاجِرٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّىٓ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ﴿٢٦﴾

Faʾāmana lahu lūṭun waqāla innī muhājirun ilā rabbī innahu huwa al-ʿazīzu al-ḥakīm

And Lot believed him, and said: Lo! I am a fugitive unto my Lord. Lo! He, only He, is the Mighty, the Wise.

29:27

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُۥٓ إِسْحَـٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَجَعَلْنَا فِى ذُرِّيَّتِهِ ٱلنُّبُوَّةَ وَٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ أَجْرَهُۥ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَإِنَّهُۥ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ لَمِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ﴿٢٧﴾

Wawahabnā lahu isḥāqa wayaʿqūba wajaʿalnā fī dhurriyyatihi an-nubuwwata wal-kitāba waʾātaynāhu ajrahu fī ad-dunyā waʾinnahu fī al-ākhirati lamina aṣ-ṣāliḥīn

And We bestowed on him Isaac and Jacob, and We established the prophethood and the Scripture among his seed, and We gave him his reward in the world, and lo! in the Hereafter he verily is among the righteous.

29:28

وَلُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ إِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ ٱلْفَـٰحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَكُم بِهَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِّنَ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ﴿٢٨﴾

And Lot! (Remember) when he said unto his folk: Lo! ye commit lewdness such as no creature did before you.

29:29

أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ ٱلرِّجَالَ وَتَقْطَعُونَ ٱلسَّبِيلَ وَتَأْتُونَ فِى نَادِيكُمُ ٱلْمُنكَرَ ۖ فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوا۟ ٱئْتِنَا بِعَذَابِ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ ﴿٢٩﴾

Aʾinnakum lataʾtūna ar-rijāla wataqṭaʿūna as-sabīla wataʾtūna fī nādīkumu al-munkara famā kāna jawāba qawmihi illā an qālū iʾtinā biʿadhābi Allāhi in kunta mina aṣ-ṣādiqīn

For come ye not in unto males, and cut ye not the road (for travellers), and commit ye not abomination in your meetings? But the answer of his folk was only that they said: Bring Allah's doom upon us if thou art a truthteller!

29:30

إِنَّا مُنزِلُونَ عَلَىٰٓ أَهْلِ هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ رِجْزًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْسُقُونَ ﴿٣٤﴾

وَقَـٰرُونَ وَفِرْعَوْنَ وَهَـٰمَـٰنَ ۖ وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مُّوسَىٰ بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ فَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ سَـٰبِقِينَ ﴿٣٩﴾

So We took each one in his sin; of them was he on whom We sent a hurricane, and of them was he who was overtaken by the (Awful) Cry, and of them was he whom We caused the earth to swallow, and of them was he whom We drowned. It was not for Allah to wrong them, but they wronged themselves.

29:41

مَثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَوْلِيَآءَ كَمَثَلِ ٱلْعَنكَبُوتِ ٱتَّخَذَتْ بَيْتًا ۖ وَإِنَّ أَوْهَنَ ٱلْبُيُوتِ لَبَيْتُ ٱلْعَنكَبُوتِ ۖ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٤١﴾

Mathalu alladhīna ittakhadhū min dūni Allāhi aliyāʾa kamathali al-ʿankabūti ittakhadhat baytan waʾinna awhana al-buyūti labaytu al-ʿankabūti law kānū yaʿlamūn

The likeness of those who choose other patrons than Allah is as the likeness of the spider when she taketh unto herself a house, and lo! the frailest of all houses is the spider's house, if they but knew.

29:42

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ مِن شَىْءٍ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ﴿٤٢﴾

Inna Allāha yaʿlamu mā yadʿūna min dūnihi min shayʾin wahuwa al-ʿazīzu al-ḥakīm

Lo! Allah knoweth what thing they invoke instead of Him. He is the Mighty, the Wise.

29:43

وَتِلْكَ ٱلْأَمْثَـٰلُ نَضْرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِ ۖ وَمَا يَعْقِلُهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْعَـٰلِمُونَ ﴿٤٣﴾

Watilka al-amthālu naḍribuhā lilnnāsi wamā yaʿqiluhā illā al-ʿālimūn

As for these similitudes, We coin them for mankind, but none will grasp their meaning save the wise.

29:44

خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِٱلْحَقِّ ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٤٤﴾

Khalaqa Allāhu as-samāwāti wal-arḍa bil-ḥaqqi inna fī dhālika laʾāyatan lilmuʾminīn

Allah created the heavens and the earth with truth. Lo! therein is indeed a portent for believers.

29:45

ٱتْلُ مَآ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ ۖ إِنَّ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ تَنْهَىٰ عَنِ ٱلْفَحْشَآءِ وَٱلْمُنكَرِ ۗ وَلَذِكْرُ ٱللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَصْنَعُونَ ﴿٤٥﴾

Utlu mā ūḥiya ilayka mina al-kitābi waʾaqimi aṣ-ṣalāta inna aṣ-ṣalāta tanhā ʿani al-faḥshāʾi wal-munkari waladhikru Allāhi akbaru wallāhu yaʿlamu mā taṣnaʿūn

Recite that which hath been inspired in thee of the Scripture, and establish worship. Lo! worship preserveth from lewdness and iniquity, but verily remembrance of Allah is more important. And Allah knoweth what ye do.

29:46

۞ وَلَا تُجَـٰدِلُوٓا۟ أَهْلَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ إِلَّا بِٱلَّتِى هِىَ أَحْسَنُ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ ۖ وَقُولُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْنَا وَأُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَإِلَـٰهُنَا وَإِلَـٰهُكُمْ وَٰحِدٌ وَنَحْنُ لَهُۥ مُسْلِمُونَ ﴿٤٦﴾

Walā tujādilū ahla al-kitābi illā billatī hiya aḥsanu illā alladhīna ẓalamū minhum waqūlū āmannā billadhī unzila ilaynā waʾunzila ilaykum waʾilāhunā waʾilāhukum wāḥidun wanaḥnu lahu muslimūn

And argue not with the People of the Scripture unless it be in (a way) that is better, save with such of them as do wrong; and say: We believe in that which hath been revealed unto us and revealed unto you; our Allah and your Allah is One, and unto Him we surrender.

29:47

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ ۚ فَٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ ۖ وَمِنْ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ مَن يُؤْمِنُ بِهِۦ ۚ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ إِلَّا ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ ﴿٤٧﴾

Wakadhālika anzalnā ilayka al-kitāba falladhīna ātaynāhumu al-kitāba yuʾminūna bihi wamin hāʾulāʾi man yuʾminu bihi wamā yajḥadu biʾāyātinā illā al-kāfirūn

In like manner We have revealed unto thee the Scripture, and those unto whom We gave the Scripture aforetime will believe therein; and of these (also) there are some who believe therein. And none deny Our revelations save the disbelievers.

29:48

وَمَا كُنتَ تَتْلُوا۟ مِن قَبْلِهِۦ مِن كِتَـٰبٍ وَلَا تَخُطُّهُۥ بِيَمِينِكَ ۖ إِذًا لَّٱرْتَابَ ٱلْمُبْطِلُونَ ﴿٤٨﴾

Wamā kunta tatlū min qablihi min kitābin walā takhuṭṭuhu biyamīnika idhan lārtāba al-mubṭilūn

And thou (O Muhammad) wast not a reader of any scripture before it, nor didst thou write it with thy right hand, for then might those have doubted, who follow falsehood.

29:49

بَلْ هُوَ ءَايَـٰتٌۢ بَيِّنَـٰتٌ فِى صُدُورِ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمَ ۚ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ إِلَّا ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ ﴿٤٩﴾

Bal huwa āyātun bayyinātun fī ṣudūri alladhīna ūtū al-ʿilma wamā yajḥadu biʾāyātinā illā aẓ-ẓālimūn

But it is clear revelations in the hearts of those who have been given knowledge, and none deny Our revelations save wrong-doers.

29:50

وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَـٰتٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ ۖ قُلْ إِنَّمَا ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَإِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ ﴿٥٠﴾

Waqālū lawlā unzila ʿalayhi āyātun min rabbihi qul innamā al-āyātu ʿinda Allāhi waʾinnamā anā nadhīrun mubīn

And they say: Why are not portents sent down upon him from his Lord? Say: Portents are with Allah only, and I am but a plain warner.

29:51

أَوَلَمْ يَكْفِهِمْ أَنَّآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ يُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَرَحْمَةً وَذِكْرَىٰ لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿٥١﴾

Awalam yakfihim annā anzalnā ʿalayka al-kitāba yutlā ʿalayhim inna fī dhālika laraḥmatan wadhikrā liqawmin yuʾminūn

Is it not enough for them that We have sent down unto thee the Scripture which is read unto them? Lo! herein verily is mercy, and a reminder for folk who believe.

29:52

قُلْ كَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكُمْ شَهِيدًا ۖ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِٱلْبَـٰطِلِ وَكَفَرُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ ﴿٥٢﴾

Qul kafā billāhi baynī wabaynakum shahīdan yaʿlamu mā fī as-samāwāti wal-arḍi walladhīna āmanū bil-bāṭili wakafarū billāhi ulāʾika humu al-khāsirūn

Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Allah sufficeth for witness between me and you. He knoweth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those who believe in vanity and disbelieve in Allah, they it is who are the losers.

29:53

وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِٱلْعَذَابِ ۚ وَلَوْلَآ أَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّى لَّجَآءَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ وَلَيَأْتِيَنَّهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ﴿٥٣﴾

Wayastaʿjilūnaka bil-ʿadhābi walawlā ajalun musamman lajāʾahumu al-ʿadhābu walayaʾtiyannahum baghtatan wahum lā yashʿurūn

They bid thee hasten on the doom (of Allah). And if a term had not been appointed, the doom would assuredly have come unto them (ere now). And verily it will come upon them suddenly when they perceive not.

29:54

يَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِٱلْعَذَابِ وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحِيطَةٌۢ بِٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ﴿٥٤﴾

Yastaʿjilūnaka bil-ʿadhābi waʾinna jahannama lamuḥīṭatun bil-kāfirīn

They bid thee hasten on the doom, when lo! hell verily will encompass the disbelievers

29:55

يَوْمَ يَغْشَىٰهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ مِن فَوْقِهِمْ وَمِن تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِهِمْ وَيَقُولُ ذُوقُوا۟ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٥٥﴾

Yawma yaghshāhumu al-ʿadhābu min fawqihim wamin taḥti arjulihim wayaqūlu dhūqū mā kuntum taʿmalūn

On the day when the doom will overwhelm them from above them and from underneath their feet, and He will say: Taste what ye used to do!

29:56

يَـٰعِبَادِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِنَّ أَرْضِى وَٰسِعَةٌ فَإِيَّـٰىَ فَٱعْبُدُونِ ﴿٥٦﴾

Kullu nafsin dhāʾiqatu al-mawti thumma ilaynā turjaʿūn

Every soul will taste of death. Then unto Us ye will be returned.

29:58

وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُم مِّنَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ غُرَفًا تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ نِعْمَ أَجْرُ ٱلْعَـٰمِلِينَ ﴿٥٨﴾

Walladhīna āmanū waʿamilū aṣ-ṣāliḥāti lanubawwiʾannahum mina al-jannati ghurafan tajrī min taḥtihā al-anhāru khālidīna fīhā niʿma ajru al-ʿāmilīn

Those who believe and do good works, them verily We shall house in lofty dwellings of the Garden underneath which rivers flow. There they will dwell secure. How sweet the guerdon of the toilers,

29:59

ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا۟ وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ ﴿٥٩﴾

Alladhīna ṣabarū waʿalā rabbihim yatawakkalūn

Who persevere, and put their trust in their Lord!

29:60

وَكَأَيِّن مِّن دَآبَّةٍ لَّا تَحْمِلُ رِزْقَهَا ٱللَّهُ يَرْزُقُهَا وَإِيَّاكُمْ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ﴿٦٠﴾

Wakaʾayyin min dābbatin lā taḥmilu rizqahā Allāhu yarzuquhā waʾiyyākum wahuwa as-samīʿu al-ʿalīm

And how many an animal there is that beareth not its own provision! Allah provideth for it and for you. He is the Hearer, the Knower.

29:61

وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَسَخَّرَ ٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ لَيَقُولُنَّ ٱللَّهُ ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ ﴿٦١﴾

Walaʾin saʾaltahum man khalaqa as-samāwāti wal-arḍa wasakhkhara ash-shamsa wal-qamara layaqūlunna Allāhu faʾannā yuʾfakūn

And if thou wert to ask them: Who created the heavens and the earth, and constrained the sun and the moon (to their appointed work)? they would say: Allah. How then are they turned away?

29:62

ٱللَّهُ يَبْسُطُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ وَيَقْدِرُ لَهُۥٓ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ ﴿٦٢﴾

Allāhu yabsuṭu ar-rizqa liman yashāʾu min ʿibādihi wayaqdiru lahu inna Allāha bikulli shayʾin ʿalīm

Allah maketh the provision wide for whom He will of His bondmen, and straiteneth it for whom (He will). Lo! Allah is Aware of all things.

29:63

Walaʾin saʾaltahum man nazzala mina as-samāʾi māʾan faʾaḥyā bihi al-arḍa min baʿdi mawtihā layaqūlunna Allāhu quli al-ḥamdu lillāhi bal aktharuhum lā yaʿqilūn

And if thou wert to ask them: Who causeth water to come down from the sky, and therewith reviveth the earth after its death? they verily would say: Allah. Say: Praise be to Allah! But most of them have no sense.

29:64

وَمَا هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَآ إِلَّا لَهْوٌ وَلَعِبٌ ۚ وَإِنَّ ٱلدَّارَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ لَهِىَ ٱلْحَيَوَانُ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٦٤﴾

Wamā hādhihi al-ḥayātu ad-dunyā illā lahwun walaʿibun waʾinna ad-dāra al-ākhirata lahiya al-ḥayawānu law kānū yaʿlamūn

This life of the world is but a pastime and a game. Lo! the home of the Hereafter - that is Life, if they but knew.

29:65

فَإِذَا رَكِبُوا۟ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ دَعَوُا۟ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّىٰهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّ إِذَا هُمْ يُشْرِكُونَ ﴿٦٥﴾

Liyakfurū bimā ātaynāhum waliyatamattaʿū fasawfa yaʿlamūn

That they may disbelieve in that which We have given them, and that they may take their ease. But they will come to know.

29:67

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّا جَعَلْنَا حَرَمًا ءَامِنًا وَيُتَخَطَّفُ ٱلنَّاسُ مِنْ حَوْلِهِمْ ۚ أَفَبِٱلْبَـٰطِلِ يُؤْمِنُونَ وَبِنِعْمَةِ ٱللَّهِ يَكْفُرُونَ ﴿٦٧﴾

Awalam yaraw annā jaʿalnā ḥaraman āminan wayutakhaṭṭafu an-nāsu min ḥawlihim afabil-bāṭili yuʾminūna wabiniʿmati Allāhi yakfurūn

Have they not seen that We have appointed a sanctuary immune (from violence), while mankind are ravaged all around them? Do they then believe in falsehood and disbelieve in the bounty of Allah?

29:68

وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِٱلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُۥٓ ۚ أَلَيْسَ فِى جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ﴿٦٨﴾

Waman aẓlamu mimmani iftarā ʿalā Allāhi kadhiban aw kadhdhaba bil-ḥaqqi lammā jāʾahu alaysa fī jahannama mathwan lilkāfirīn

Who doeth greater wrong than he who inventeth a lie concerning Allah, or denieth the truth when it cometh unto him? Is not there a home in hell for disbelievers?

29:69

وَٱلَّذِينَ جَـٰهَدُوا۟ فِينَا لَنَهْدِيَنَّهُمْ سُبُلَنَا ۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَمَعَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿٦٩﴾
