29:0
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful.
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
اَحَسِبَ النَّاسُ اَنْ یُّتْرَكُوْۤا اَنْ یَّقُوْلُوْۤا اٰمَنَّا وَ هُمْ لَا یُفْتَنُوْنَ(۲)
Do men think they will get away by saying: "We believe," and will not be tried?
Do the people reckon that they will be left to say 'We believe,' and will not be tried?
وَ لَقَدْ فَتَنَّا الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَلَیَعْلَمَنَّ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ صَدَقُوْا وَ لَیَعْلَمَنَّ الْكٰذِبِیْنَ(۳)
We had tried those who were before them so that God knew who spoke the truth, and who were liars.
We certainly tried those that were before them, and assuredly God knows those who speak truly, and assuredly He knows the liars.
اَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِیْنَ یَعْمَلُوْنَ السَّیِّاٰتِ اَنْ یَّسْبِقُوْنَاؕ-سَآءَ مَا یَحْكُمُوْنَ(۴)
Do those who do evil think that they will get the better of Us? How bad is the judgement that they make!
Or do they reckon, those who do evil deeds, that they will outstrip Us? Ill they judge!
مَنْ كَانَ یَرْجُوْا لِقَآءَ اللّٰهِ فَاِنَّ اَجَلَ اللّٰهِ لَاٰتٍؕ-وَ هُوَ السَّمِیْعُ الْعَلِیْمُ(۵)
He who hopes to meet God (should know) that God´s appointed time will surely come. He is all-hearing and all-knowing.
Whoso looks to encounter God, God's term is coming; He is the All-hearing, the All-knowing.
وَ مَنْ جَاهَدَ فَاِنَّمَا یُجَاهِدُ لِنَفْسِهٖؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَغَنِیٌّ عَنِ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ(۶)
He who strives does so for himself. Verily God is independent of the creatures of the world.
Whosoever struggles, struggles only to his own gain; surely God is All-sufficient nor needs any being.
وَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَنُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْهُمْ سَیِّاٰتِهِمْ وَ لَنَجْزِیَنَّهُمْ اَحْسَنَ الَّذِیْ كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ(۷)
We shall pardon the sinful deeds of those who believe and do the right, and give them a reward better than their deeds.
And those who believe, and do righteous deeds, We shall surely acquit them of their evil deeds, and shall recompense them the best of what they were doing.
وَ وَصَّیْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ بِوَالِدَیْهِ حُسْنًاؕ-وَ اِنْ جَاهَدٰكَ لِتُشْرِكَ بِیْ مَا لَیْسَ لَكَ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَاؕ-اِلَیَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَاُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ(۸)
We have enjoined on man to be good to his parents; but if they try to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, then do not obey them. You have to come back to Us, when I will tell you what you used to do.
We have charged man, that he be kind to his parents; but if they strive with thee to make thee associate with Me that whereof thou hast no knowledge, then do not obey them; unto Me you shall return, and I shall tell you what you were doing.
وَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَنُدْخِلَنَّهُمْ فِی الصّٰلِحِیْنَ(۹)
We shall admit those who believe and do the right among the righteous.
And those who believe, and do righteous deeds assuredly We shall admit them among the righteous.
وَ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ یَّقُوْلُ اٰمَنَّا بِاللّٰهِ فَاِذَاۤ اُوْذِیَ فِی اللّٰهِ جَعَلَ فِتْنَةَ النَّاسِ كَعَذَابِ اللّٰهِؕ-وَ لَىٕنْ جَآءَ نَصْرٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكَ لَیَقُوْلُنَّ اِنَّا كُنَّا مَعَكُمْؕ-اَوَ لَیْسَ اللّٰهُ بِاَعْلَمَ بِمَا فِیْ صُدُوْرِ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ(۱۰)
There are among men those who say: "We believe in God;" yet if they happen to suffer in the cause of God they take oppression by men as punishment from God. And if help comes to them from your Lord, they say: "We were with you." Does not God know what is hidden in the hearts of men?
Some men there are who say, 'We believe in God,' but when such a man is hurt in God's cause, he makes the persecution of men as it were God's chastisement; then if help comes from thy Lord, he will say 'We were with you.' What, does not God know very well what is in the breasts of all beings?
وَ لَیَعْلَمَنَّ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ لَیَعْلَمَنَّ الْمُنٰفِقِیْنَ(۱۱)
God will surely know the believers and know the hypocrites.
God surely knows the believers, and He knows the hypocrites.
وَ قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لِلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّبِعُوْا سَبِیْلَنَا وَ لْنَحْمِلْ خَطٰیٰكُمْؕ-وَ مَا هُمْ بِحٰمِلِیْنَ مِنْ خَطٰیٰهُمْ مِّنْ شَیْءٍؕ-اِنَّهُمْ لَكٰذِبُوْنَ(۱۲)
Those who deny say to those who affirm: "Follow our way; we shall carry the burden of your sins." But they cannot carry the burden of their sins in the least. They are liars indeed.
The unbelievers say to the believers, 'Follow our path, and let us carry your offences'; yet they cannot carry anything, even of their own offences; they are truly liars.
وَ لَیَحْمِلُنَّ اَثْقَالَهُمْ وَ اَثْقَالًا مَّعَ اَثْقَالِهِمْ٘-وَ لَیُسْــٴَـلُنَّ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ عَمَّا كَانُوْا یَفْتَرُوْنَ۠(۱۳)
They will carry their own loads and other loads besides their own; and will surely be questioned on the Day of Resurrection about what they contrived.
They shall certainly carry their loads, and other loads along with their loads, and upon the Day of Resurrection they shall surely be questioned concerning that they were forging.
وَ لَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا نُوْحًا اِلٰى قَوْمِهٖ فَلَبِثَ فِیْهِمْ اَلْفَ سَنَةٍ اِلَّا خَمْسِیْنَ عَامًاؕ-فَاَخَذَهُمُ الطُّوْفَانُ وَ هُمْ ظٰلِمُوْنَ(۱۴)
We sent Noah to his people, and he lived with them a thousand years minus fifty. Then they were caught by the deluge for they were evil.
Indeed, We sent Noah to his people, and he tarried among them a thousand years, all but fifty; so the Flood seized them, while they were evildoers.
فَاَنْجَیْنٰهُ وَ اَصْحٰبَ السَّفِیْنَةِ وَ جَعَلْنٰهَاۤ اٰیَةً لِّلْعٰلَمِیْنَ(۱۵)
But We saved him and those with him in the ark, and made it a sign for the creatures of the world.
Yet We delivered him, and those who were in the ship, and appointed it for a sign unto all beings.
وَ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ اِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ وَ اتَّقُوْهُؕ-ذٰلِكُمْ خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ(۱۶)
And (remember) Abraham who said to his people: "Worship God and be obedient to Him. This is better for you if you understand.
And Abraham, when he said to his people, 'Serve God, and fear Him; that is better for you, did you know.
اِنَّمَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اَوْثَانًا وَّ تَخْلُقُوْنَ اِفْكًاؕ-اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ تَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ لَا یَمْلِكُوْنَ لَكُمْ رِزْقًا فَابْتَغُوْا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ الرِّزْقَ وَ اعْبُدُوْهُ وَ اشْكُرُوْا لَهٗؕ-اِلَیْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ(۱۷)
You worship idols in place of God and invent lies. Surely those you worship other than God have no power over your means of livelihood. So seek your sustenance from God, and worship Him and give Him thanks. To Him will you be brought back in the end.
You only serve, apart from God, idols and you create a calumny; those you serve, apart from God, have no power to provide for you. So seek after your provision with God, and serve Him, and be thankful to Him; unto Him you shall be returned.
وَ اِنْ تُكَذِّبُوْا فَقَدْ كَذَّبَ اُمَمٌ مِّنْ قَبْلِكُمْؕ-وَ مَا عَلَى الرَّسُوْلِ اِلَّا الْبَلٰغُ الْمُبِیْنُ(۱۸)
But if you deny, then many a people have denied before you. The duty of the apostle is to convey the message clearly."
'But if you cry me lies, nations cried lies before you; and it is only for the Messenger to deliver the Manifest Message.'
اَوَ لَمْ یَرَوْا كَیْفَ یُبْدِئُ اللّٰهُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ یُعِیْدُهٗؕ-اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ یَسِیْرٌ(۱۹)
Do they not see how God originates creation, then reverts it back? This is indeed how inevitably the law of God works;
(Have they not seen how God originates creation, then brings it back again? Surely that is an easy matter for God.
قُلْ سِیْرُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ فَانْظُرُوْا كَیْفَ بَدَاَ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ اللّٰهُ یُنْشِئُ النَّشْاَةَ الْاٰخِرَةَؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌۚ(۲۰)
Say: "Travel on the earth and see how He originated creation. Then (you will know) how God will raise the last raising (of the dead). Surely God has power over everything,
Say: Journey in the land, then behold how He originated creation; then God causes the second growth to grow; God is powerful over everything,
یُعَذِّبُ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَ یَرْحَمُ مَنْ یَّشَآءُۚ-وَ اِلَیْهِ تُقْلَبُوْنَ(۲۱)
Punish whom He will, and have mercy on whom He please. And to Him will you be brought back in the end.
chastising whom He will, and having mercy on whomsoever He will, and unto Him you shall be turned.
وَ مَاۤ اَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِیْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِ وَ لَا فِی السَّمَآءِ٘-وَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَّلِیٍّ وَّ لَا نَصِیْرٍ۠(۲۲)
Escape Him you cannot either in the earth or in the sky; and you have no friend or helper apart from God.
You are not able to frustrate Him either in the earth or in heaven; and you have not, apart from God, either protector or helper.
وَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ وَ لِقَآىٕهٖۤ اُولٰٓىٕكَ یَىٕسُوْا مِنْ رَّحْمَتِیْ وَ اُولٰٓىٕكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ(۲۳)
Those who deny the signs of God and the meeting with Him, cannot have hope of My mercy. There is a painful punishment for them.
And those who disbelieve in God's signs and the encounter with Him -- they despair of My mercy, and there awaits them a painful chastisement.)
فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهٖۤ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ قَالُوا اقْتُلُوْهُ اَوْ حَرِّقُوْهُ فَاَنْجٰىهُ اللّٰهُ مِنَ النَّارِؕ-اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ یُّؤْمِنُوْنَ(۲۴)
The people (of Abraham) had no answer except: "Kill him or burn him;" but God saved him from the fire. There are lessons in this for those who believe.
But the only answer of his people was that they said, 'Slay him, or burn him!' Then God delivered him from the fire; surely in that are signs for a people who believe.
وَ قَالَ اِنَّمَا اتَّخَذْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اَوْثَانًاۙ-مَّوَدَّةَ بَیْنِكُمْ فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَاۚ-ثُمَّ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ یَكْفُرُ بَعْضُكُمْ بِبَعْضٍ وَّ یَلْعَنُ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا٘-وَّ مَاْوٰىكُمُ النَّارُ وَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ نّٰصِرِیْنَۗۙ(۲۵)
He said: "You have taken to idols through mutual affection in this life, in place of God, but on the Day of Resurrection you will disown and curse each other, and your abode will be Hell, and you will have none to help you."
And he said, 'You have only taken to yourselves idols, apart from God, as a mark of mutual love between you in the present life; then upon the Day of Resurrection you will deny one another, and you will curse one another, and your refuge will be the Fire, and you will have no helpers.'
فَاٰمَنَ لَهٗ لُوْطٌۘ-وَ قَالَ اِنِّیْ مُهَاجِرٌ اِلٰى رَبِّیْؕ-اِنَّهٗ هُوَ الْعَزِیْزُ الْحَكِیْمُ(۲۶)
Then Lot believed in him; and (Abraham) said: "I will separate myself and take refuge in my Lord. Surely He is all-mighty and all-wise."
But Lot believed him; and he said, 'I will flee to my Lord; He is the All-mighty, the All-wise.'
وَ وَهَبْنَا لَهٗۤ اِسْحٰقَ وَ یَعْقُوْبَ وَ جَعَلْنَا فِیْ ذُرِّیَّتِهِ النُّبُوَّةَ وَ الْكِتٰبَ وَ اٰتَیْنٰهُ اَجْرَهٗ فِی الدُّنْیَاۚ-وَ اِنَّهٗ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ لَمِنَ الصّٰلِحِیْنَ(۲۷)
So We bestowed on him Isaac and Jacob and gave his progeny prophethood and scripture, and rewarded him in this world, and in the next he will be among the upright.
And We gave him Isaac and Jacob, and We appointed the Prophecy and the Book to be among his seed; We gave him his wage in this world, and in the world to come he shall be among the righteous.
وَ لُوْطًا اِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهٖۤ اِنَّكُمْ لَتَاْتُوْنَ الْفَاحِشَةَ٘-مَا سَبَقَكُمْ بِهَا مِنْ اَحَدٍ مِّنَ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ(۲۸)
And (remember) Lot when he said to his people: "You indulge in lecherous acts which none of the creatures had done before you.
And Lot, when he said to his people 'Surely you commit such indecency as never any being in all the world committed before you.
اَىٕنَّكُمْ لَتَاْتُوْنَ الرِّجَالَ وَ تَقْطَعُوْنَ السَّبِیْلَ ﳔ وَ تَاْتُوْنَ فِیْ نَادِیْكُمُ الْمُنْكَرَؕ-فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهٖۤ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ قَالُوا ائْتِنَا بِعَذَابِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ(۲۹)
You commit unnatural acts with men and cut off the way (of procreation), and commit obscenities in your gatherings." The only answer his people made was: "Bring the punishment of God, if you are truthful."
What, do you approach men, and cut the way, and commit in your assembly dishonour?' But the only answer of his people was that they said, 'Then bring us the chastisement of God, if thou speakest truly.'
قَالَ رَبِّ انْصُرْنِیْ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْمُفْسِدِیْنَ۠(۳۰)
"O Lord, help me against the wicked people,"(Lot) prayed.
He said, 'My Lord, help me against the people that work corruption.'
وَ لَمَّا جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَاۤ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ بِالْبُشْرٰىۙ-قَالُوْۤا اِنَّا مُهْلِكُوْۤا اَهْلِ هٰذِهِ الْقَرْیَةِۚ-اِنَّ اَهْلَهَا كَانُوْا ظٰلِمِیْنَۚۖ(۳۱)
When Our messengers came to Abraham with good news, they said: "We have to destroy this city as its inhabitants have become sinful."
And when Our messengers came to Abraham with the good tidings, they said, 'We shall destroy the people of this city, for its people are evildoers.'
قَالَ اِنَّ فِیْهَا لُوْطًاؕ-قَالُوْا نَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ فِیْهَا ﱞ لَنُنَجِّیَنَّهٗ وَ اَهْلَهٗۤ اِلَّا امْرَاَتَهٗ ﱪ كَانَتْ مِنَ الْغٰبِرِیْنَ(۳۲)
He said: "Surely Lot is there." They answered: "We know who is there. We are to save him and his family except his wife, for she is one of those who will stay behind."
He said, 'Lot is in it.' They said, 'We know very well who is in it; assuredly We shall deliver him and his family, except his wife; she has become of those that tarry.'
وَ لَمَّاۤ اَنْ جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوْطًا سِیْٓءَ بِهِمْ وَ ضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَّ قَالُوْا لَا تَخَفْ وَ لَا تَحْزَنْ- اِنَّا مُنَجُّوْكَ وَ اَهْلَكَ اِلَّا امْرَاَتَكَ كَانَتْ مِنَ الْغٰبِرِیْنَ(۳۳)
So, when Our messengers came to Lot, he was worried on their account as he was unable to protect them. They said: "Have no fear or regret. We will certainly save you and your family except your wife, for she is one of those who will stay behind.
When that Our messengers came to Lot he was troubled on their account and distressed for them; but they said, 'Fear not, neither sorrow, for surely we shall deliver thee and thy family, except thy wife; she has become of those that tarry.
اِنَّا مُنْزِلُوْنَ عَلٰۤى اَهْلِ هٰذِهِ الْقَرْیَةِ رِجْزًا مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَفْسُقُوْنَ(۳۴)
We have to bring a scourge from the heavens on the people of this city as they are depraved."
We shall send down upon the people of this city wrath out of heaven for their ungodliness.'
وَ لَقَدْ تَّرَكْنَا مِنْهَاۤ اٰیَةًۢ بَیِّنَةً لِّقَوْمٍ یَّعْقِلُوْنَ(۳۵)
Verily We have left a clear sign of this for people of sense to see.
And indeed, We have left thereof a sign, a clear sign? unto a people who understand.
وَ اِلٰى مَدْیَنَ اَخَاهُمْ شُعَیْبًاۙ-فَقَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ وَ ارْجُوا الْیَوْمَ الْاٰخِرَ وَ لَا تَعْثَوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ مُفْسِدِیْنَ(۳۶)
To Midian We sent their brother Shu´aib. He said: "O people, worship God and be ready for the Day of Resurrection. Do no evil, and create no mischief in the land."
And to Midian their brother Shuaib; he said, 'O my people, serve God, and look you for the Last Day; and do not mischief in the land, working corruption.'
فَكَذَّبُوْهُ فَاَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِیْ دَارِهِمْ جٰثِمِیْنَ٘(۳۷)
But they denied him and were seized by an earthquake, and lay overturned in their homes in the morning.
But they cried lies to him; so the earthquake seized them, and morning found them in their habitation fallen prostrate.
وَ عَادًا وَّ ثَمُوْدَاۡ وَ قَدْ تَّبَیَّنَ لَكُمْ مِّنْ مَّسٰكِنِهِمْ- وَ زَیَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّیْطٰنُ اَعْمَالَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِیْلِ وَ كَانُوْا مُسْتَبْصِرِیْنَۙ(۳۸)
And (remember) ´Ad and Thamud. It will be clear to you from their habitations (how they were destroyed), for Satan had made their deeds look attractive to them, and turned them away from the path; and yet they were a people of acumen.
And Ad, and Thamood -- it has become clear to you from their dwelling-places; and Satan decked out fair to them their works, and barred them from the way, though they saw clearly.
وَ قَارُوْنَ وَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَ هَامٰنَ ﱎ وَ لَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ مُّوْسٰى بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ وَ مَا كَانُوْا سٰبِقِیْنَۚ(۳۹)
(Remember) Qarun, Pharaoh and Haman to whom Moses came with clear signs; but they were haughty (and oppressed) the land. Yet they could not run away from Us;
And Korah, and Pharaoh, and Haman; Moses came to them with the clear signs, but they waxed proud in the earth, yet they outstripped Us not.
فَكُلًّا اَخَذْنَا بِذَنْۢبِهٖۚ-فَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ اَرْسَلْنَا عَلَیْهِ حَاصِبًاۚ-وَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ اَخَذَتْهُ الصَّیْحَةُۚ-وَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ خَسَفْنَا بِهِ الْاَرْضَۚ-وَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ اَغْرَقْنَاۚ-وَ مَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِیَظْلِمَهُمْ وَ لٰكِنْ كَانُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ یَظْلِمُوْنَ(۴۰)
And We seized all of them for their crimes. Against some We sent a violent wind hurling stones, and some We seized with a mighty blast, and some We submerged under the earth, and some We drowned. It was not for God to wrong them, they wronged themselves.
Each We seized for his sin; and of them against some We loosed a squall of pebbles and some were seized by the Cry, and some We made the earth to swallow, and some We drowned; God would never wrong them, but they wronged themselves.
