29:2Have the people supposed that they will be left alone to say, “We believe,” without being put to the test?

29:3We have tested those before them. God will surely know the truthful, and He will surely know the liars.

29:6Whoever strives, strives only for himself. God is Independent of the beings.

29:7Those who believe and do righteous deeds—We will remit their sins, and We will reward them according to the best of what they used to do.

29:8We have advised the human being to be good to his parents. But if they urge you to associate with Me something you have no knowledge of, do not obey them. To Me is your return; and I will inform you of what you used to do.

29:9Those who believe and do good works—We will admit them into the company of the righteous.

29:10Among the people is he who says, “We have believed in God.” Yet when he is harmed on God’s account, he equates the people's persecution with God’s retribution. And if help comes from your Lord, he says, “We were actually with you.” Is not God aware of what is inside the hearts of the people?

29:11God certainly knows those who believe, and He certainly knows the hypocrites.

29:12Those who disbelieve say to those who believe, “Follow our way, and we will carry your sins.” In no way can they carry any of their sins. They are liars.

29:13They will carry their own loads, and other loads with their own. And they will be questioned on the Day of Resurrection concerning what they used to fabricate.

29:16And Abraham, when he said to his people, “Worship God, and fear Him. That is better for you, if you only knew.

29:17You worship idols besides God, and you fabricate falsehoods. Those you worship, instead of God, cannot provide you with livelihood. So seek your livelihood from God, and worship Him, and thank Him. To Him you will be returned.”

29:18If you disbelieve, communities before you have also disbelieved. The Messenger is only responsible for clear transmission.

29:21He punishes whom He wills, and He grants mercy to whom He wills, and to Him you will be restored.

29:22You cannot escape, on earth or in the heaven; and you have no protector and no savior besides God.

29:23Those who disbelieved in God’s signs and His encounter—these have despaired of My mercy. For them is a painful torment.

29:24But the only response from his people was their saying, “Kill him, or burn him.” But God saved him from the fire. Surely in that are signs for people who believe.

29:26Then Lot believed in him, and said, “I am emigrating to my Lord. He is the Noble, the Wise.”

29:27And We granted him Isaac and Jacob, and conferred on his descendants the Prophethood and the Book, and gave him his reward in this life; and in the Hereafter he will be among the upright.

29:28And Lot, when he said to his people, “You are committing an obscenity not perpetrated before you by anyone in the whole world.

29:32He said, “Yet Lot is in it.” They said, “We are well aware of who is in it. We will save him, and his family, except for his wife, who will remain behind.”

29:33Then, when Our envoys came to Lot, they were mistreated, and he was troubled and distressed on their account. They said, “Do not fear, nor grieve. We will save you and your family, except for your wife, who will remain behind.”

29:34“We will bring down upon the people of this town a scourge from heaven, because of their wickedness.”

29:35And We left behind a clear trace of it, for people who understand.

29:38And Aad and Thamood. It has become clear to you from their dwellings. Satan embellished for them their deeds, barring them from the path, even though they could see.

29:40Each We seized by his sin. Against some We sent a sandstorm. Some were struck by the Blast. Some We caused the ground to cave in beneath them. And some We drowned. It was not God who wronged them, but it was they who wronged their own selves.

29:42God knows what they invoke besides Him. He is the Almighty, the Wise.

29:44God created the heavens and the earth with truth. Surely in that is a sign for the believers.

29:46And do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in the best manner possible, except those who do wrong among them. And say, “We believe in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to you; and our God and your God is One; and to Him we are submissive.”

29:47Likewise, We revealed to you the Scripture. Those to whom We gave the Scripture believe in it, and some of these believe in it. None renounce Our communications except the disbelievers.

29:48You did not read any scripture before this, nor did you write it down with your right hand; otherwise the falsifiers would have doubted.

29:51Does it not suffice them that We revealed to you the Scripture, which is recited to them? In that is mercy and a reminder for people who believe.

29:52Say, “God suffices as witness between you and me. He knows everything in the heavens and the Earth. Those who believe in vanity and reject God—it is they who are the losers.”

29:54They urge you to hasten the punishment. But Hell will engulf the disbelievers.

29:55On the Day when the punishment will envelop them, from above them, and from beneath their feet, He will say, “Taste what you used to do!”

29:56O My servants who have believed: My earth is vast, so worship Me alone.

29:57Every soul will taste death. Then to Us you will be returned.

29:58Those who believe and work righteousness—We will settle them in Paradise, in mansions under which rivers flow, dwelling therein forever. Excellent is the compensation for the workers.

29:63And if you asked them, “Who sends water down from the sky, with which He revives the earth after it had died?” They would say, “God.” Say, “Praise be to God.” But most of them do not understand.

29:66To be ungrateful for what We have given them, and to enjoy themselves. They will surely come to know.

29:67Do they not see that We established a Secure Sanctuary, while all around them the people are being carried away? Do they believe in falsehood, and reject the blessings of God?
