29:46
۞ وَلَا
تُجَـٰدِلُوٓا۟
أَهْلَ
ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ
إِلَّا
بِٱلَّتِى
هِىَ
أَحْسَنُ
إِلَّا
ٱلَّذِينَ
ظَلَمُوا۟
مِنْهُمْ ۖ
وَقُولُوٓا۟
ءَامَنَّا
بِٱلَّذِىٓ
أُنزِلَ
إِلَيْنَا
وَأُنزِلَ
إِلَيْكُمْ
وَإِلَـٰهُنَا
وَإِلَـٰهُكُمْ
وَٰحِدٌۭ
وَنَحْنُ
لَهُۥ
مُسْلِمُونَ
ﱜ
[Believers], argue only in the best way with the People of the Book, except with those of them who act unjustly. Say, ‘We believe in what was revealed to us and in what was revealed to you; our God and your God are one [and the same]; we are devoted to Him.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

29:47
وَكَذَٰلِكَ
أَنزَلْنَآ
إِلَيْكَ
ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ ۚ
فَٱلَّذِينَ
ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمُ
ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ
يُؤْمِنُونَ
بِهِۦ ۖ
وَمِنْ
هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ
مَن
يُؤْمِنُ
بِهِۦ ۚ
وَمَا
يَجْحَدُ
بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ
إِلَّا
ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ
ﱳ
This is the way We sent the Scripture to you [Muhammad]. Those to whom We had already given Scripture believe in [the Quran] and so do some of these people. No one refuses to acknowledge Our revelations but the defiant.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

29:48
وَمَا
كُنتَ
تَتْلُوا۟
مِن
قَبْلِهِۦ
مِن
كِتَـٰبٍۢ
وَلَا
تَخُطُّهُۥ
بِيَمِينِكَ ۖ
إِذًۭا
لَّٱرْتَابَ
ٱلْمُبْطِلُونَ
ﲂ
You never recited any Scripture before We revealed this one to you; you never wrote one down with your hand. If you had done so, those who follow falsehood might have had cause to doubt.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

29:49
بَلْ
هُوَ
ءَايَـٰتٌۢ
بَيِّنَـٰتٌۭ
فِى
صُدُورِ
ٱلَّذِينَ
أُوتُوا۟
ٱلْعِلْمَ ۚ
وَمَا
يَجْحَدُ
بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ
إِلَّا
ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ
ﲒ
But no, [this Quran] is a revelation that is clear to the hearts of those endowed with knowledge. No one refuses to acknowledge Our revelations but the evildoers.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

29:50
وَقَالُوا۟
لَوْلَآ
أُنزِلَ
عَلَيْهِ
ءَايَـٰتٌۭ
مِّن
رَّبِّهِۦ ۖ
قُلْ
إِنَّمَا
ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتُ
عِندَ
ٱللَّهِ
وَإِنَّمَآ
أَنَا۠
نَذِيرٌۭ
مُّبِينٌ
ﲤ
They say, ‘Why have no miracles been sent to him by his Lord?’ Say, ‘Miracles lie in God’s hands; I am simply here to warn you plainly.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

29:51
أَوَلَمْ
يَكْفِهِمْ
أَنَّآ
أَنزَلْنَا
عَلَيْكَ
ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ
يُتْلَىٰ
عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ
إِنَّ
فِى
ذَٰلِكَ
لَرَحْمَةًۭ
وَذِكْرَىٰ
لِقَوْمٍۢ
يُؤْمِنُونَ
ﲵ
Do they not think it is enough that We have sent down to you the Scripture that is recited to them? There is a mercy in this and a lesson for believing people.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

29:52
قُلْ
كَفَىٰ
بِٱللَّهِ
بَيْنِى
وَبَيْنَكُمْ
شَهِيدًۭا ۖ
يَعْلَمُ
مَا
فِى
ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ
وَٱلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُوا۟
بِٱلْبَـٰطِلِ
وَكَفَرُوا۟
بِٱللَّهِ
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ
هُمُ
ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ
ﳋ
Say, ‘God is sufficient witness between me and you: He knows what is in the heavens and earth. Those who believe in false deities and deny God will be the losers.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

29:53
وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ
بِٱلْعَذَابِ ۚ
وَلَوْلَآ
أَجَلٌۭ
مُّسَمًّۭى
لَّجَآءَهُمُ
ٱلْعَذَابُ
وَلَيَأْتِيَنَّهُم
بَغْتَةًۭ
وَهُمْ
لَا
يَشْعُرُونَ
ﱎ
They challenge you to hasten the punishment: they would already have received a punishment if God had not set a time for it, and indeed it will come to them suddenly and catch them unawares.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

29:54
يَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ
بِٱلْعَذَابِ
وَإِنَّ
جَهَنَّمَ
لَمُحِيطَةٌۢ
بِٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ
ﱕ
They challenge you to hasten the punishment: Hell will encompass all those who deny the truth,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

29:55
يَوْمَ
يَغْشَىٰهُمُ
ٱلْعَذَابُ
مِن
فَوْقِهِمْ
وَمِن
تَحْتِ
أَرْجُلِهِمْ
وَيَقُولُ
ذُوقُوا۟
مَا
كُنتُمْ
تَعْمَلُونَ
ﱣ
on the Day when punishment overwhelms them from above and from below their very feet, and they will be told, ‘Now taste the punishment for what you used to do.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

29:56
يَـٰعِبَادِىَ
ٱلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُوٓا۟
إِنَّ
أَرْضِى
وَٰسِعَةٌۭ
فَإِيَّـٰىَ
فَٱعْبُدُونِ
ﱬ
My believing servants! My earth is vast, so worship Me and Me alone.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

29:57
كُلُّ
نَفْسٍۢ
ذَآئِقَةُ
ٱلْمَوْتِ ۖ
ثُمَّ
إِلَيْنَا
تُرْجَعُونَ
ﱵ
Every soul will taste death, then it is to Us that you will be returned.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

29:58
وَٱلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُوا۟
وَعَمِلُوا۟
ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ
لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُم
مِّنَ
ٱلْجَنَّةِ
غُرَفًۭا
تَجْرِى
مِن
تَحْتِهَا
ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ
خَـٰلِدِينَ
فِيهَا ۚ
نِعْمَ
أَجْرُ
ٱلْعَـٰمِلِينَ
ﲈ
We shall lodge those who believed and did good deeds in lofty dwellings, in the Garden graced with flowing streams, there to remain. How excellent is the reward of those who labour,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

29:59
ٱلَّذِينَ
صَبَرُوا۟
وَعَلَىٰ
رَبِّهِمْ
يَتَوَكَّلُونَ
ﲎ
those who are steadfast, those who put their trust in their Lord!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

29:60
وَكَأَيِّن
مِّن
دَآبَّةٍۢ
لَّا
تَحْمِلُ
رِزْقَهَا
ٱللَّهُ
يَرْزُقُهَا
وَإِيَّاكُمْ ۚ
وَهُوَ
ٱلسَّمِيعُ
ٱلْعَلِيمُ
ﲜ
How many are the creatures who do not store their sustenance! God sustains them and you: He alone is the All Hearing, the All Knowing.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

29:61
وَلَئِن
سَأَلْتَهُم
مَّنْ
خَلَقَ
ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ
وَٱلْأَرْضَ
وَسَخَّرَ
ٱلشَّمْسَ
وَٱلْقَمَرَ
لَيَقُولُنَّ
ٱللَّهُ ۖ
فَأَنَّىٰ
يُؤْفَكُونَ
ﲫ
If you ask the disbelievers who created the heavens and earth and who harnessed the sun and moon, they are sure to say, ‘God.’ Then why do they turn away from Him?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

29:62
ٱللَّهُ
يَبْسُطُ
ٱلرِّزْقَ
لِمَن
يَشَآءُ
مِنْ
عِبَادِهِۦ
وَيَقْدِرُ
لَهُۥٓ ۚ
إِنَّ
ٱللَّهَ
بِكُلِّ
شَىْءٍ
عَلِيمٌۭ
ﲻ
It is God who gives abundantly to whichever of His servants He will, and sparingly to whichever He will: He has full knowledge of everything.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

29:63
وَلَئِن
سَأَلْتَهُم
مَّن
نَّزَّلَ
مِنَ
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
مَآءًۭ
فَأَحْيَا
بِهِ
ٱلْأَرْضَ
مِنۢ
بَعْدِ
مَوْتِهَا
لَيَقُولُنَّ
ٱللَّهُ ۚ
قُلِ
ٱلْحَمْدُ
لِلَّهِ ۚ
بَلْ
أَكْثَرُهُمْ
لَا
يَعْقِلُونَ
ﳔ
If you ask them, ‘Who sends water down from the sky and gives life with it to the earth after it has died?’ they are sure to say, ‘God.’ Say, ‘Praise belongs to God!’ Truly, most of them do not use their reason.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

29:64
وَمَا
هَـٰذِهِ
ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ
ٱلدُّنْيَآ
إِلَّا
لَهْوٌۭ
وَلَعِبٌۭ ۚ
وَإِنَّ
ٱلدَّارَ
ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ
لَهِىَ
ٱلْحَيَوَانُ ۚ
لَوْ
كَانُوا۟
يَعْلَمُونَ
ﱒ
The life of this world is merely an amusement and a diversion; the true life is in the Hereafter, if only they knew.

فَإِذَا
رَكِبُوا۟
فِى
ٱلْفُلْكِ
دَعَوُا۟

مُخْلِصِينَ
لَهُ
ٱلدِّينَ
فَلَمَّا
نَجَّىٰهُمْ
إِلَى
ٱلْبَرِّ
إِذَا
هُمْ
يُشْرِكُونَ
ﱣ
Whenever they go on board a ship they call on God, and dedicate their faith to Him alone, but once He has delivered them safely back to land, see how they ascribe partners to Him!
