Dr. Mustafa Khattab
29:1
ﮡAlif Laam Meem
ﮢ(1)

الم

Alif-Lãm-Mĩm.
29:2
ﮣDo think
ﮤthe people
ﮥthat
ﮦthey will be left
ﮧbecause
ﮨthey say
ﮩWe believe
ﮪand they
ﮫwill not be tested
ﮬwill not be tested
ﮭ(2)

أَحَسِبَ النَّاسُ أَن يُتْرَكُوا أَن يَقُولُوا آمَنَّا وَهُمْ لَا يُفْتَنُونَ

Do people think once they say, “We believe,” that they will be left without being put to the test?
29:3
ﮮAnd indeed
ﮯWe tested
ﮰthose who
ﮱ(were) before them
ﯓﯔ(were) before them
ﯕAnd Allah will surely make evident
ﯖAnd Allah will surely make evident
ﯗthose who
ﯘ(are) truthful
ﯙand He will surely make evident
ﯚthe liars
ﯛ(3)

وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۖ فَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ صَدَقُوا وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْكَاذِبِينَ

We certainly tested those before them. And ˹in this way˺ Allah will clearly distinguish between those who are truthful and those who are liars.
29:4
ﯜOr
ﯝthink
ﯞthose who
ﯟdo
ﯠevil deeds
ﯡthat
ﯢﯣthey can outrun Us
ﯤEvil is
ﯥwhat
ﯦthey judge
ﯧ(4)

أَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ السَّيِّئَاتِ أَن يَسْبِقُونَا ۚ سَاءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ

Or do the evildoers ˹simply˺ think that they will escape Us? How wrong is their judgment!
29:5
ﯨWhoever
ﯩ[is]
ﯪhopes
ﯫ(for the) meeting
ﯬ(with) Allah
ﯭthen indeed
ﯮ(the) Term
ﯯ(of) Allah
ﯰﯱ(is) surely coming
ﯲAnd He
ﯳ(is) the All-Hearer
ﯴthe All-Knower
ﯵ(5)

مَن كَانَ يَرْجُو لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ أَجَلَ اللَّهِ لَآتٍ ۚ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ

Whoever hopes for the meeting with Allah, ˹let them know that˺ Allah’s appointed time is sure to come. He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
29:6
ﯶAnd whoever
ﯷstrives
ﯸthen only
ﯹhe strives
ﯺﯻfor himself
ﯼIndeed
ﯽAllah
ﯾ(is) Free from need
ﯿof
ﰀthe worlds
ﰁ(6)

وَمَن جَاهَدَ فَإِنَّمَا يُجَاهِدُ لِنَفْسِهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَغَنِيٌّ عَنِ الْعَالَمِينَ

And whoever strives ˹in Allah’s cause˺, only does so for their own good. Surely Allah is not in need of ˹any of˺ His creation.
29:7
ﭑAnd those who
ﭒbelieve
ﭓand do
ﭔrighteous (deeds)
ﭕsurely, We will remove
ﭖfrom them
ﭗtheir evil deeds
ﭘand We will surely reward them
ﭙ(the) best
ﭚ(of) what
ﭛthey used
ﭜ(to) do
ﭝ(7)

وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَنُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَحْسَنَ الَّذِي كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

As for those who believe and do good, We will certainly absolve them of their sins, and reward them according to the best of what they used to do.
29:8
ﭞAnd We have enjoined
ﭟ(on) man
ﭠgoodness to his parents
ﭡﭢgoodness to his parents
ﭣbut if
ﭤthey both strive against you
ﭥto make you associate
ﭦwith Me
ﭧwhat
ﭨnot
ﭩyou have
ﭪof it
ﭫany knowledge
ﭬthen (do) not
ﭭﭮobey both of them
ﭯTo Me
ﭰ(is) your return
ﭱand I will inform you
ﭲabout what
ﭳyou used
ﭴ(to) do
ﭵ(8)

وَوَصَّيْنَا الْإِنسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ حُسْنًا ۖ وَإِن جَاهَدَاكَ لِتُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا ۚ إِلَيَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

We have commanded people to honour their parents. But if they urge you to associate with Me what you have no knowledge of,1 then do not obey them. To Me you will ˹all˺ return, and then I will inform you of what you used to do.
29:9
ﭶAnd those who
ﭷbelieve
ﭸand do
ﭹrighteous deeds
ﭺWe will surely admit them
ﭻamong
ﭼthe righteous
ﭽ(9)

وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَنُدْخِلَنَّهُمْ فِي الصَّالِحِينَ

Those who believe and do good will surely be admitted by Us into ˹the company of˺ the righteous.
29:10
ﭾAnd of
ﭿthe people
ﮀ(is he) who
ﮁsays
ﮂWe believe
ﮃin Allah
ﮄBut when
ﮅhe is harmed
ﮆin
ﮇ(the Way of) Allah
ﮈhe considers
ﮉ(the) trial
ﮊ(of) the people
ﮋas (the) punishment
ﮌ(of) Allah
ﮍBut if
ﮎcomes
ﮏvictory
ﮐfrom
ﮑyour Lord
ﮒsurely they say
ﮓIndeed, we
ﮔwere
ﮕﮖwith you
ﮗIs not
ﮘAllah
ﮙmost knowing
ﮚof what
ﮛ(is) in
ﮜ(the) breasts
ﮝ(of) the worlds
ﮞ(10)

وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ فَإِذَا أُوذِيَ فِي اللَّهِ جَعَلَ فِتْنَةَ النَّاسِ كَعَذَابِ اللَّهِ وَلَئِن جَاءَ نَصْرٌ مِّن رَّبِّكَ لَيَقُولُنَّ إِنَّا كُنَّا مَعَكُمْ ۚ أَوَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَعْلَمَ بِمَا فِي صُدُورِ الْعَالَمِينَ

There are some who say, “We believe in Allah,” but when they suffer in the cause of Allah, they mistake ˹this˺ persecution at the hands of people for the punishment of Allah. But when victory comes from your Lord, they surely say ˹to the believers˺, “We have always been with you.” Does Allah not know best what is in the hearts of all beings?
