[29:1] ALM.

[29:2] Do the people think that they will be left alone once they say; we believe, without being tested?

[29:3] And indeed We tested those before them, for God must surely know those who are truthful and must surely know the liars.

[29:4] Do those who do evil deeds reckon that they can get ahead of us? How miserable is their judgment!

[29:5] Those who seek the meeting with God shall therefore expect for sure that God's time is coming. And He is The All Hearer, The All Knower.

[29:6] And whoever works hard then indeed he works hard for himself. Indeed God is in no need of the world.

[29:7] As for those who attained faith and lead a righteous life, We will surely remit their evil deeds and We will indeed reward them with the best for what they did.

[29:8] And We enjoined the human being to honor his parents, however, if they try to make you set up partners for Me, wherein you have no knowledge thereof, then do not obey the two of them. To Me is your final return, then, I will inform you all of everything you have done.

[29:9] As for those who have attained faith and lead a righteous life, We will surely admit them along with the righteous.

[29:10] And amongst people are those who say; we have faith in God, but when they are persecuted because of God, they equate people's persecution to the punishment from God, and when the victory comes from your Lord, they surely say; we are indeed with you. Does not God fully know what is in the hearts of the people?

[29:11] And surely God knows those who are faithful and He surely knows the hypocrites.

[29:12] And those who have no faith say to those who have faith; follow our path and we will carry your sins, however, they can never carry their sins in the least, they are indeed liars.

[29:13] And they will certainly carry their loads and even more load along with their load, and they will be questioned on the Day of Resurrection regarding everything they fabricated.

[29:14] And We indeed sent Noah to his people, he then lasted amongst them one thousand years, less fifty, then the storm overtook them because of their transgression.

[29:15]  We then saved him along with occupants of the ship and made it a sign for the world.

[29:16] And Abraham, when he said to his people; worship God and fear Him. This is better for you, if you only knew.

[29:17] You only worship besides God idols, and create fabrications. Indeed, those whom you worship besides God, have no power to provide any provision for you, therefore, seek your provision at God and worship Him and be grateful to Him, for you will return to Him.

[29:18] And if you reject it, then congregations before you also rejected it, and the only responsibility of the messenger is the clear delivery.

[29:19] Do they not see how God initiates creation then repeats it? Indeed this is easy for God.

[29:20] Say; travel throughout the land, then observe how creation starts. God thus initiates the initiation of the Hereafter. Indeed God is All Powerful over all things.

[29:21] He punishes whomever He wills and has mercy on whomever He wills, and to Him you will return.

[29:22] And you are not vanquishers on the land, nor are you in the sky, and you have no one besides God as an ally or a helper.

[29:23] As for those who disbelieve in God's signs and meeting Him, they have despaired from My mercy and reserved for them is a painful suffering.

[29:24] Afterwards, the only response from his people was to say, kill him or burn him, God then rescued him from the fire. Indeed in this there are signs for people who have faith.

[29:25] And he said; you only take these idols besides God to maintain friendship amongst yourselves in this worldly life, then on the Day of Judgment you disown each other and curse one another and your abode is Hell wherein you have no helpers.

[29:26] Then Lot attained faith because of him and said; I am emigrating to my Lord. Indeed He is The Almighty, The All Wise.

[29:27] And We granted him Isaac and Jacob and appointed from their descendants prophets and gave them the scripture and We gave him his wage in this world, and indeed in the Hereafter he will be one of the righteous.

[29:28] As for Lot when he said to his people; indeed you are committing such a vice that no one in the world has ever committed.

[29:29] Indeed you are chasing men, committing highway robbery, and allow evil in your society. Then the only answer from his people was; bring us God's punishment if you are truthful.

[29:30] He said, Lord, give me victory over the wicked people.

[29:31] And when our messengers came to Abraham with the good news, they said; we are indeed the annihilators of the inhabitants of this town, for indeed her inhabitants are transgressors.

[29:32] He said; but Lot is there. They said; we know full well who is there. We will surely save him and his family except for his wife; she is one of those who will remain.

[29:33] And when Our messengers came to Lot, he became sad because of them and suffered because of them, but they said; do not fear and do not grieve, we will indeed save you and your family except your wife who will remain.

[29:34] We will indeed bring down upon the inhabitants of this town from the sky a misery because of the wickedness they practice.

[29:35] And We indeed rendered some of them a proven sign for people who use their intelligence.

[29:36] And to the Medians, went their brother Jethro, he then said; O my people worship God and be hopeful about the Last Day and do not use matter wickedly as corruptors.

[29:37] Thereafter, they rejected him, then the quake overwhelmed them and the next day, they ended up motionless in their homes.

[29:38] And Aad and Thamoud, wherein indeed you have proof of their dwellings, but Satan adorned their works, consequently he diverted them from the path, right before their eyes.

[29:39] As for Qaroon, Pharaoh and Hamaan, indeed Moses came to them with proofs, then they turned arrogant on the land but they could not succeed.

[29:40] Then every one of them suffered because of their sins. Therefore, some whom We send a storm upon them and some whom were overwhelmed by the thunder and some were swallowed by the ground and some were drowned. However, God did not commit injustice against them; they were the ones who committed injustice against themselves.

[29:41] The example of those who take allies besides God is like the female spider and her home, indeed the most unnerving place is the home of the female spider, if they only knew.

[29:42] Indeed, God knows everything they call upon besides Him. And He is The Almighty, The All Wise.

[29:43] And these are examples that We cite for the people, and no one understands them except those who are knowledgeable.

[29:44] God created the vacua and matter truthfully. Indeed in this there is a sign for the faithful.

[29:45] Recite what is inspired to you from the scripture and observe the contact prayer. Indeed the contact prayer prevents vice and evil. And for sure commemorating God is the most important. And God knows all that you do.

[29:46] As for all of you, you shall not argue with the people of the scripture except in the nicest manner, however, not so with those who transgress from among them. You all shall say; we believe in what is revealed to us and what is revealed to you and our god and your god is one and to Him we offer peace.

[29:47] And We thus revealed the scripture to you. Then those who have received the scripture believe in it, and among them are those who believe in it; and no one argues regarding Our signs except the unfaithful.

[29:48] You never recited any scripture before this, and nor did you write one with your hand, otherwise the falsifiers would have had a lot of doubt.

[29:49] On the contrary, these are proven signs in the hearts of those who are given knowledge. And no one argues about Our signs except the transgressors.

[29:50] And they said; if only signs came down to him from his Lord. Say; all signs are at God and I am only a manifest warner.

[29:51] Is it not enough for them that indeed We revealed the scripture to you that is recited to them? Indeed in this there is a mercy and a reminder for the people who are faithful .

[29:52] Say; God suffices as a witness between me and you. He knows what is in the vacua and matter. As for those who believe in falsehood and have no faith in God, then these are the losers.

[29:53] And they want you to rush the suffering for them. And if it were not for a predetermined time, the suffering would have come to them suddenly when they least expect it.

[29:54] They want you to rush the suffering for them, and indeed Gehenna is already surrounding the unfaithful.

[29:55] The day when the suffering overwhelms them from their top and from beneath their feet, and He will say; taste the results of your deeds.

[29:56] O My servants who have faith, indeed My land is ever expanding, therefore, you shall surely worship Me alone.

[29:57] Every soul shall taste death, then, to Us is your final destiny.

[29:58] As for those who have faith, We will point out to them mansions in Paradise, wherein streams flow beneath them and they abide therein eternally. A blessed reward for the workers.

[29:59] These are the ones who steadfastly persevered and put their trust in their Lord.

[29:60] And there is not a single creature that does not carry its provision; because God provides for it as well as for all of you. And He is The All Hearer, The All Knower.

[29:61] And if you ask them who created the vacua and matter and brought into order the sun and the moon, they would definitely say; God, therefore, how can they deviate?

[29:62] God is the One who increases the provision for whomever He wills from amongst His servants and withholds it from him. Indeed God is All Powerful over all things.

[29:63] And if you ask them who sends water from the sky whereby it revives the land after it has died, they would definitely say; God. Say; praise God. However, most of them do not use their intelligence.

[29:64] And this worldly life is nothing more than vanity and play. And indeed the abode of the Hereafter is the real life. If they only knew!

[29:65] Then when they board the ship, they call upon God, devoting the faith purely to Him, however, when We rescue them to the dry land, they set up partners for god.

[29:66] This is because they are unappreciative of what We have given them and because they want to enjoy for a while, then they will soon find out.

[29:67] Do they not see that We have established a sacred, secure place, while people around it live in fear? Are they, therefore, going to believe in falsehood and reject God's blessings?

[29:68] And who is more unjust than the one who attributes a lie to God or denies the truth when it comes his way? Is Gehenna not a just abode for the unfaithful?

[29:69] As for those who strive in Our cause, We will surely guide them to Our ways. And indeed God is always with the righteous.
