29:2
أَحَسِبَ
ٱلنَّاسُ
أَن
يُتْرَكُوٓا۟
أَن
يَقُولُوٓا۟
ءَامَنَّا
وَهُمْ
لَا
يُفْتَنُونَ
ﲝ
Do people think they will be left alone after saying ‘We believe’ without being put to the test?
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
29:3
وَلَقَدْ
فَتَنَّا
ٱلَّذِينَ
مِن
قَبْلِهِمْ ۖ
فَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ
ٱللَّهُ
ٱلَّذِينَ
صَدَقُوا۟
وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ
ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ
ﲪ
We tested those who went before them: God will certainly mark out which ones are truthful and which are lying.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
29:4
أَمْ
حَسِبَ
ٱلَّذِينَ
يَعْمَلُونَ
ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ
أَن
يَسْبِقُونَا ۚ

يَحْكُمُونَ
ﲶ
Do the evildoers think they can escape us? How ill they judge!
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
29:5
مَن
كَانَ
يَرْجُوا۟
لِقَآءَ
ٱللَّهِ
فَإِنَّ
أَجَلَ
ٱللَّهِ

But as for those who strive for their meeting with God, God’s appointed time is bound to come; He is the All Hearing, the All Knowing.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
29:6
وَمَن
جَـٰهَدَ
فَإِنَّمَا
يُجَـٰهِدُ
لِنَفْسِهِۦٓ ۚ
إِنَّ
ٱللَّهَ
لَغَنِىٌّ
عَنِ
ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
ﳐ
Those who exert themselves do so for their own benefit––God does not need His creatures––
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
29:7
وَٱلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُوا۟
وَعَمِلُوا۟
ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ
لَنُكَفِّرَنَّ
عَنْهُمْ
سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْ
وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ
أَحْسَنَ
ٱلَّذِى
كَانُوا۟

ﱍ
We shall certainly blot out the misdeeds of those who believe and do good deeds, and We shall reward them according to the best of their actions.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
29:8
وَوَصَّيْنَا
ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ
بِوَٰلِدَيْهِ
حُسْنًۭا ۖ
وَإِن
جَـٰهَدَاكَ
لِتُشْرِكَ
بِى
مَا
لَيْسَ
لَكَ
بِهِۦ
عِلْمٌۭ
فَلَا
تُطِعْهُمَآ ۚ
إِلَىَّ
مَرْجِعُكُمْ
فَأُنَبِّئُكُم
بِمَا
كُنتُمْ
تَعْمَلُونَ
ﱥ
We have commanded people to be good to their parents, but do not obey them if they strive to make you serve, beside Me, anything of which you have no knowledge: you will all return to Me, and I shall inform you of what you have done.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
29:9
وَٱلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُوا۟
وَعَمِلُوا۟
ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ
لَنُدْخِلَنَّهُمْ
فِى
ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ
ﱭ
We shall be sure to admit those who believe and do good deeds to the ranks of the righteous.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
29:10
وَمِنَ
ٱلنَّاسِ
مَن
يَقُولُ
ءَامَنَّا
بِٱللَّهِ
فَإِذَآ
أُوذِىَ
فِى
ٱللَّهِ
جَعَلَ
فِتْنَةَ
ٱلنَّاسِ

There are some people who say, ‘We believe in God,’ but, when they suffer for His cause, they think that human persecution is as severe as God’s punishment––yet, if any help comes to you [Prophet] from your Lord, they will say, ‘We have always been with you’. Does God not know best what is in everyone’s hearts?
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
29:11
وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ
ٱللَّهُ
ٱلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُوا۟
وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ
ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقِينَ
ﲖ
God will be sure to mark out which ones are the believers, and which the hypocrites.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
29:12
وَقَالَ
ٱلَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا۟
لِلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُوا۟
ٱتَّبِعُوا۟
سَبِيلَنَا
وَلْنَحْمِلْ
خَطَـٰيَـٰكُمْ
وَمَا

مِنْ
خَطَـٰيَـٰهُم
مِّن
شَىْءٍ ۖ
إِنَّهُمْ
لَكَـٰذِبُونَ
ﲪ
Those who disbelieve say to the believers, ‘Follow our path and we shall bear [the consequences for] your sins,’ yet they will not do so––they are liars.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
29:13
وَلَيَحْمِلُنَّ
أَثْقَالَهُمْ
وَأَثْقَالًۭا
مَّعَ
أَثْقَالِهِمْ ۖ
وَلَيُسْـَٔلُنَّ
يَوْمَ
ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ
عَمَّا
كَانُوا۟
يَفْتَرُونَ
ﲷ
They will bear their own burdens and others besides: they will be questioned about their false assertions on the Day of Resurrection.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
29:14
وَلَقَدْ
أَرْسَلْنَا
نُوحًا
إِلَىٰ
قَوْمِهِۦ
فَلَبِثَ
فِيهِمْ

We sent Noah out to his people. He lived among them for fifty years short of a thousand but when the Flood overwhelmed them they were still doing evil.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
29:15
فَأَنجَيْنَـٰهُ
وَأَصْحَـٰبَ
ٱلسَّفِينَةِ
وَجَعَلْنَـٰهَآ
ءَايَةًۭ
لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

We saved him and those with him on the Ark. We made this a sign for all people.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
29:16
وَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ
إِذْ
قَالَ
لِقَوْمِهِ
ٱعْبُدُوا۟
ٱللَّهَ

ذَٰلِكُمْ
خَيْرٌۭ

We also sent Abraham. He said to his people, ‘Serve God and be mindful of Him: that is better for you, if only you knew.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
29:17
إِنَّمَا
تَعْبُدُونَ
مِن
دُونِ
ٱللَّهِ
أَوْثَـٰنًۭا
وَتَخْلُقُونَ
إِفْكًا ۚ

ٱللَّهِ
لَا

عِندَ
ٱللَّهِ
ٱلرِّزْقَ
وَٱعْبُدُوهُ
وَٱشْكُرُوا۟
لَهُۥٓ ۖ

ﱴ
What you worship instead of God are mere idols; what you invent is nothing but falsehood. Those you serve instead of God have no power to give you provisions, so seek provisions from God, serve Him, and give Him thanks: you will all be returned to Him.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
29:18
وَإِن
تُكَذِّبُوا۟
فَقَدْ

If you say this is a lie, [be warned that] other communities before you said the same. The messenger’s only duty is to give clear warning.’
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
29:19
أَوَلَمْ
يَرَوْا۟
كَيْفَ
يُبْدِئُ
ٱللَّهُ
ٱلْخَلْقَ

Do they not see that God brings life into being and reproduces it? Truly this is easy for God.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
29:20
قُلْ
سِيرُوا۟
فِى
ٱلْأَرْضِ
فَٱنظُرُوا۟
كَيْفَ
بَدَأَ
ٱلْخَلْقَ ۚ
ثُمَّ
ٱللَّهُ

Say, ‘Travel throughout the earth and see how He brings life into being: and He will bring the next life into being. God has power over all things.
