Wa Laqad Fatannā Al-Ladhīna Min Qablihim Falaya`lamanna Al-Lahu Al-Ladhīna Şadaqū Wa Laya`lamanna Al-Kādhibīna
We did test those who have gone before them. Allah has to see (for the purpose of reward and punishment) who are the truthful and who are the liars.[29.3]
Wa Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Wa `Amilū Aş-Şāliĥāti Lanukaffiranna `Anhum Sayyi'ātihim Wa Lanajziyannahum 'Aĥsana Al-Ladhī Kānū Ya`malūna
As for those who believe and do good deeds, We shall cleanse them of their sins and We shall reward them according to the best of their deeds.[29.7]
We have enjoined man to show kindness to his parents; but if they (your parents) force you to commit shirk with Me, of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them. To Me is your return and I will inform you of what you have done.[29.8]
There are some among people, who say: “We believe in Allah;" yet when they suffer in the cause of Allah they confuse the persecution of people with the punishment of Allah. But when there comes help in the shape of a victory from your Rabb, they are sure to say: “We have always been with you." Is not Allah fully aware of what is in the hearts of the people of the world.[29.10]
Wa Qāla Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Lilladhīna 'Āmanū Attabi`ū Sabīlanā Wa Lnaĥmil Khaţāyākum Wa Mā Hum Biĥāmilīna Min Khaţāyāhum MinShay'in 'Innahum Lakādhibūna
The unbelievers say to the believers: “Follow us, and we will bear the burden of your sins.” But they will not bear any burden of their sins; they are surely lying.[29.12]
Wa Layaĥmilunna 'Athqālahum Wa 'Athqālāan Ma`a 'Athqālihim Wa Layus'alunna Yawma Al-Qiyāmati `Ammā Kānū Yaftarūna
Of course, they shall bear their own burdens as well as the burdens of others in addition to their own; and on the Day of Resurrection they shall be questioned about their invented lies.[29.13]
Wa Laqad 'Arsalnā Nūĥāan 'Ilá Qawmihi Falabitha Fīhim 'Alfa Sanatin 'Illā Khamsīna `Āmāan Fa'akhadhahumu Aţ-Ţūfānu Wa Hum Žālimūn
We sent Nüh (Noah) to his people and he lived among them a thousand years less fifty. Then because of their wrongdoings the flood overtook them.[29.14]

You worship idols besides Allah and fabricate falsehood. In fact, those whom you worship besides Allah have no power to give you your sustenance, therefore seek your sustenance from Allah, and worship Him. Give thanks to Him, for to Him you shall be returned.[29.17]
Say to them: “Travel through the earth and see how Allah originates the creation, then creates the later creation. Surely Allah has power over everything.[29.20]
Wa Mā 'Antum Bimu`jizīna Fī Al-'Arđi Wa Lā Fī As-Samā'i Wa Mā Lakum Min Dūni Al-Lahi Min Wa Līyin Wa Lā Naşīrin
Neither can you frustrate Him in the earth or in the Heaven; nor have you any protector or helper besides Allah."[29.22]
Wa Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Bi'āyāti Al-Lahi Wa Liqā'ihi 'Ūlā'ika Ya'isū Min Raĥmatī Wa 'Ūlā'ika Lahum `Adhābun 'Alīmun
As for those who disbelieve Allah’s revelations and deny that they will ever meet Him, they are the ones who shall despair of My mercy and they are the ones who shall have a painful punishment.[29.23]
The people of Ibrمhïm (Abraham) had no answer except to say: “Kill him!” Or “Burn him!” But Allah saved him from the fire when they tried to burn him. Surely in this incident there are signs for those who believe.[29.24]
Wa Qāla 'Innamā Attakhadhtum Min Dūni Al-Lahi 'Awthānāan Mawaddata Baynikum Fī Al-Ĥayāati Ad-Dunyā Thumma Yawma Al-Qiyāmati Yakfuru Ba`đukum Biba`đin Wa Yal`anu Ba`đukum Ba`đāan Wa Ma'wākumu An-Nāru Wa Mā Lakum Min Nāşirīna
After coming out from the fire safely, Ibrمhïm addressed them: “Today you have made idols, instead of Allah, a means of affection among yourselves, but remember, on the Day of Resurrection you shall disown and curse one another. Fire shall be your abode and you shall have no helper."[29.25]
Fa'āmana Lahu Lūţun Wa Qāla 'Innī Muhājirun 'Ilá Rabbī 'Innahu Huwa Al-`Azīzu Al-Ĥakīmu
Witnessing this whole incident, Lüt (Lot) affirmed his belief with Ibrمhïm. Finally Ibrمhïm said: “I will migrate towards my Rabb (go where my Rabb has bidden me). He is the Mighty, the Wise."[29.26]
Wa Wahabnā Lahu 'Isĥāqa Wa Ya`qūba Wa Ja`alnā Fī Dhurrīyatihi An-Nubūwata Wa Al-Kitāba Wa 'Ātaynāhu 'Ajrahu Fī Ad-Dunyā Wa 'Innahu Fī Al-'Ākhirati Lamina Aş-Şāliĥīn
We gave him Ishمq (Isaac - a son) and Ya'qoob (Jacob - a grandson), and placed the Prophethood and the Book in his progeny - thus We gave him his reward in this life, and in the hereafter he will surely be among the righteous.[29.27]
'A'innakum Lata'tūna Ar-Rijāla Wa Taqţa`ūna As-Sabīla Wa Ta'tūna Fī Nādīkumu Al-Munkara Famā Kāna Jawāba Qawmihi 'Illā 'An Qālū A'tinā Bi`adhābi Al-Lahi 'In Kunta Mina Aş-Şādiqīna
Do you lust after males, commit robbery on the highways and commit evil deeds even in your assemblies?” His people had no answer except to say: “Bring us the scourge of Allah if you are truthful."[29.29]
When Our Messengers (angels) came to Ibrمhïm (Abraham) with the good news (the birth of a son in his old age), they said: “We are to destroy the people of that township, for its people are indeed wrongdoers."[29.31]
Qāla 'Inna Fīhā Lūţāan Qālū Naĥnu 'A`lamu Biman Fīhā Lanunajjiyannahu Wa 'Ahlahu 'Illā Amra'atahu Kānat Mina Al-Ghābirīn
Ibrمhïm said: “But Lüt is in there." The angels replied: “We know who is in there: we shall certainly save him and his family, except his wife, who will remain behind!”[29.32]
Wa Lammā 'An Jā'at Rusulunā Lūţāan Sī'a Bihim Wa Đāqa BihimDhar`āan Wa Qālū Lā Takhaf Wa Lā Taĥzan 'Innā Munajjūka Wa 'Ahlaka 'Illā Amra'ataka Kānat Mina Al-Ghābirīna
And when Our Messengers (angels) came to Lüt he became sad and anxious on their account, for he felt powerless to protect them. But they said “Do not fear nor grieve (we are the angels assigned for their torment): we shall save you and your family except your wife; she will be of those who will remain behind.[29.33]
Wa 'Ilá Madyana 'AkhāhumShu`aybāan Faqāla Yā Qawmi A`budū Al-Laha Wa Arjū Al-Yawma Al-'Ākhira Wa Lā Ta`thaw Fī Al-'Arđi Mufsidīn
To the people of Madyan We sent their brother Shu‘aib, who said: “O my people! Worship Allah and look forward to the Last Day, and do not transgress in the land wickedly."[29.36]
Wa `Ādāan Wa Thamūda Wa Qad Tabayyana Lakum Min Masākinihim Wa Zayyana Lahumu Ash-Shayţānu 'A`mālahum Faşaddahum `Ani As-Sabīli Wa Kānū Mustabşirīna
Likewise We destroyed the people of ‘Ad and the Thamüd: you have seen the traces of their dwellings. Shaitمn had made their foul deeds fair-seeming to them and diverted them from the Right Way, though they were intelligent people.[29.38]
Wa Qārūna Wa Fir`awna Wa Hāmāna Wa Laqad Jā'ahum Mūsá Bil-Bayyināti Fāstakbarū Fī Al-'Arđi Wa Mā Kānū Sābiqīna
Musa (Moses) came to Qarün (Korah), Fir'on (Pharaoh) and Hamمn with clear signs but they remained arrogant in the land; yet they could not go ahead of Us.[29.39]
Fakullāan 'Akhadhnā Bidhanbihi Faminhum Man 'Arsalnā `Alayhi Ĥāşibāan Wa Minhum Man 'Akhadhat/hu Aş-Şayĥatu Wa Minhum Man Khasafnā Bihi Al-'Arđa Wa Minhum Man 'Aghraqnā Wa Mā Kāna Al-Lahu Liyažlimahum Wa Lakin Kānū 'Anfusahum Yažlimūna
We seized all of them for their sinfulness: against some We sent a violent tornado full of stones, some were seized by a mighty blast, some were swallowed up by the earth, and yet some We drowned. It was not Allah Who was unjust to them, but they were unjust to their own souls.[29.40]
Mathalu Al-Ladhīna Attakhadhū Min Dūni Al-Lahi 'Awliyā'a Kamathali Al-`Ankabūti Attakhadhat Baytāan Wa 'Inna 'Awhana Al-Buyūti Labaytu Al-`Ankabūti Law Kānū Ya`lamūna
The likeness of those who take Auliy?' (protectors and helpers) other than All?h is as the likeness of a spider, who builds (for itself) a house, but verily, the frailest (weakest) of houses is the spider's house; if they but knew. (Al-'Ankabut [29.41]
Wa Tilka Al-'Amthālu Nađribuhā Lilnnāsi Wa Mā Ya`qiluhā 'Illā Al-`Ālimūna
And these similitudes We put forward for mankind, but none will understand them except those who have knowledge (of All?h and His Signs, etc.). (Al-'Ankabut [29.43]
(All?h says to His Prophet Muhammad SAW): "All?h (Alone) created the heavens and the earth with truth (and none shared Him in their creation)." Verily! Therein is surely a sign for those who believe. (Al-'Ankabut [29.44]
Atlu Mā 'Ūĥiya 'Ilayka Mina Al-Kitābi Wa 'Aqimu Aş-Şalāata 'Inna Aş-Şalāata Tanhá `Ani Al-Faĥshā'i Wa Al-Munkari Wa Ladhikru Al-Lahi 'Akbaru Wa Allāhu Ya`lamu Mā Taşna`ūna
Recite from this Book (Al-Qur'an) which has been revealed to you and establish Salah (Islamic prayers). Surely Salah keeps one away from shameful and evil deeds; and surely the remembrance of Allah (and Allah’s mention of your name in front of the angels) is the greatest indeed, Allah knows what you do.[29.45]
Wa Lā Tujādilū 'Ahla Al-Kitābi 'Illā Bi-Atī Hiya 'Aĥsanu 'Illā Al-Ladhīna Žalamū Minhum Wa Qūlū 'Āmannā Bial-Ladhī 'Unzila 'Ilaynā Wa 'Unzila 'Ilaykum Wa 'Ilahunā Wa 'Ilahukum Wāĥidun Wa Naĥnu Lahu Muslimūna
Do not argue with the People of the Book except in good taste - except with those who are wicked among them - and say: “We believe in that which is sent down to us and that which is sent down to you; Our God and your God is the same One God to Whom we submit as Muslims."[29.46]
Wa Kadhalika 'Anzalnā 'Ilayka Al-Kitāba Fa-Al-Ladhīna 'Ātaynāhumu Al-Kitāba Yu'uminūna Bihi Wa Min Hā'uulā' Man Yu'uminu Bihi Wa Mā Yajĥadu Bi'āyātinā 'Illā Al-Kāfirūna
O Prophet, We have sent down this Book to you (similar to that of Musa and Isa). So the People of the Book believe in it, and so do some of these (people of Arabia): and none but unbelievers deny Our revelations.[29.47]
Wa Mā Kunta Tatlū Min Qablihi Min Kitābin Wa Lā Takhuţţuhu Biyamīnika 'Idhāan Lārtāba Al-Mubţilūna
O Muhammad, you have never read a book before this nor have you ever transcribed one with your right hand. Had you done either of these, the quibblers could suspect it.[29.48]
Bal Huwa 'Āyātun Bayyinātun Fī Şudūri Al-Ladhīna 'Ūtū Al-`Ilma Wa Mā Yajĥadu Bi'āyātinā 'Illā Až-Žālimūna
Rather, these are clear signs in the breast of those who are endowed with knowledge: and none deny Our signs except the wrongdoers.[29.49]
Wa Qālū Lawlā 'Unzila `Alayhi 'Āyātun Min Rabbihi Qul 'Innamā Al-'Āyātu `Inda Al-Lahi Wa 'Innamā 'Anā Nadhīrun Mubīnun
They ask: “Why have the signs not been sent down to him from his Rabb?" Tell them: “The signs are in the hands of Allah. I am only a plain Warner."[29.50]
Is it not enough for them that We have sent down to you this Book (AL-Qur’an) which is recited to them, surely in it is a blessing and a reminder for those who believe.[29.51]
Qul Kafá Bil-Lahi Baynī Wa BaynakumShahīdāan Ya`lamu Mā Fī As-Samāwāti Wa Al-'Arđi Wa Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Bil-Bāţili Wa Kafarū Bil-Lahi 'Ūlā'ika Humu Al-Khāsirūna
Tell them: “Allah is sufficient as a witness between me and you - for He knows all that is in the heavens and the earth - those who believe in falsehood and disbelieve Allah, it is they who shall be the losers."[29.52]
Wa Yasta`jilūnaka Bil-`Adhābi Wa Lawlā 'Ajalun Musammáan Lajā'ahumu Al-`Adhābu Wa Laya'tiyannahum Baghtatan Wa Hum Lā Yash`urūna
They challenge you to hasten the scourge on them. Had a time not been fixed for it, the scourge would already have overtaken them. It is going to come suddenly and catch them unaware.[29.53]
Wa Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Wa `Amilū Aş-Şāliĥāti Lanubawwi'annahum Mina Al-Jannati Ghurafāan Tajrī Min Taĥtihā Al-'Anhāru Khālidīna Fīhā Ni`ma 'Ajru Al-`Āmilīna
Those who embrace true faith and do good deeds shall be lodged in the mansions of paradise beneath which rivers flow, to live therein forever. What an excellent reward for the doers of good deeds;[29.58]
Wa Ka'ayyin Min Dābbatin Lā Taĥmilu Rizqahā Al-Lahu Yarzuquhā Wa 'Īyākum Wa Huwa As-Samī`u Al-`Alīmu
How many creatures are there that do not carry their provisions with them? Allah provides for them as He provides for you. It is He Who is All-hearing, All-knowing.[29.60]
Wa La'in Sa'altahum Man Khalaqa As-Samāwāti Wa Al-'Arđa Wa Sakhkhara Ash-Shamsa Wa Al-Qamara Layaqūlunna Al-Lahu Fa'annā Yu'ufakūna
If you ask the disbelievers as to who has created the heavens and the earth, and subjected the sun and the moon to His laws? They will certainly say: “Allah!” How are they then being deluded away from the truth?[29.61]
Wa La'in Sa'altahum Man Nazzala Mina As-Samā'i Mā'an Fa'aĥyā Bihi Al-'Arđa Min Ba`di Mawtihā Layaqūlunna Al-Lahu Quli Al-Ĥamdu Lillahi Bal 'Aktharuhum Lā Ya`qilūna
And if you ask them who sends down rainwater from the sky and thereby raises the dead land back to life?” They will certainly say: “Allah!” Say, “Praise be to Allah!” Yet most of them do not use their common sense.[29.63]
Wa Mā Hadhihi Al-Ĥayāatu Ad-Dunyā 'Illā Lahwun Wa La`ibun Wa 'Inna Ad-Dāra Al-'Ākhirata Lahiya Al-Ĥayawānu Law Kānū Ya`lamūna
The life of this world is nothing but a pastime and play! It is the life of the hereafter that is the true life, if they but knew it.[29.64]
If they embark on a ship, and the ship gets into trouble, they call upon Allah, being sincerely obedient to Him; but when He brings them safely to land, they start committing shirk (giving credit for their safe arrival to others);[29.65]
Liyakfurū Bimā 'Ātaynāhum Wa Liyatamatta`ū Fasawfa Ya`lamūna
so that they may become ungrateful for the blessing that We have bestowed on them and enjoy the life of this world! They will soon come to know the result of this behavior.[29.66]

Do they not see that We have made for them a secure sanctuary in the Ka'bah, while the people are being snatched away from all around them? Do they still believe in falsehood and deny the blessings of Allah?[29.67]
Wa Man 'Ažlamu Mimmani Aftará `Alá Al-Lahi Kadhibāan 'Aw Kadhdhaba Bil-Ĥaqqi Lammā Jā'ahu 'Alaysa Fī Jahannama Mathwáan Lilkāfirīna
And who is more wicked than the one who forges a lie against Allah or rejects the Truth when it reaches him? Is not the hell a fitting abode for such disbelievers?[29.68]
