The Spider) - سورة العنكبوت

Alif, Lam, Meem
Do the people think that they will be left to say, "We believe" and they will not be tried?






But
We have certainly tried those before them, and Allah will
surely make evident those who are truthful, and He will surely
make evident the liars.






Or do those who do evil deeds think they can outrun Us? Evil is what they judge.






Whoever
should hope for the meeting with Allah - indeed, the term
decreed by Allah is coming. And He is the Hearing, the Knowing.






And whoever strives only strives for [the benefit of] himself. Indeed, Allah is free from need of the worlds.






And
those who believe and do righteous deeds - We will surely
remove from them their misdeeds and will surely reward them
according to the best of what they used to do.






And
We have enjoined upon man goodness to parents. But if they
endeavor to make you associate with Me that of which you have
no knowledge, do not obey them. To Me is your return, and I
will inform you about what you used to do.






And those who believe and do righteous deeds - We will surely admit them among the righteous [into Paradise].






And
of the people are some who say, "We believe in Allah ," but
when one [of them] is harmed for [the cause of] Allah , they
consider the trial of the people as [if it were] the
punishment of Allah . But if victory comes from your Lord, they
say, "Indeed, We were with you." Is not Allah most knowing of
what is within the breasts of all creatures?






And Allah will surely make evident those who believe, and He will surely make evident the hypocrites.






And
those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Follow our
way, and we will carry your sins." But they will not carry
anything of their sins. Indeed, they are liars.






But
they will surely carry their [own] burdens and [other]
burdens along with their burdens, and they will surely be
questioned on the Day of Resurrection about what they used to
invent.






And
We certainly sent Noah to his people, and he remained among
them a thousand years minus fifty years, and the flood seized
them while they were wrongdoers.



But We saved him and the companions of the ship, and We made it a sign for the worlds.






And
[We sent] Abraham, when he said to his people, "Worship Allah
and fear Him. That is best for you, if you should know.






You
only worship, besides Allah , idols, and you produce a
falsehood. Indeed, those you worship besides Allah do not possess
for you [the power of] provision. So seek from Allah provision
and worship Him and be grateful to Him. To Him you will be
returned."






And
if you [people] deny [the message] - already nations before
you have denied. And there is not upon the Messenger except
[the duty of] clear notification.






Have they not considered how Allah begins creation and then repeats it? Indeed that, for Allah , is easy.






Say,
[O Muhammad], "Travel through the land and observe how He
began creation. Then Allah will produce the final creation. Indeed
Allah , over all things, is competent."






He punishes whom He wills and has mercy upon whom He wills, and to Him you will be returned.






And
you will not cause failure [to Allah ] upon the earth or in
the heaven. And you have not other than Allah any protector or
any helper.






And
the ones who disbelieve in the signs of Allah and the meeting
with Him - those have despaired of My mercy, and they will
have a painful punishment.






And
the answer of Abraham's people was not but that they said,
"Kill him or burn him," but Allah saved him from the fire.
Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.






And
[Abraham] said, "You have only taken, other than Allah , idols
as [a bond of] affection among you in worldly life. Then on
the Day of Resurrection you will deny one another and curse
one another, and your refuge will be the Fire, and you will
not have any helpers."






And
Lot believed him. [Abraham] said, "Indeed, I will emigrate to
[the service of] my Lord. Indeed, He is the Exalted in
Might, the Wise."






And
We gave to Him Isaac and Jacob and placed in his
descendants prophethood and scripture. And We gave him his
reward in this world, and indeed, he is in the Hereafter among
the righteous.






And
[mention] Lot, when he said to his people, "Indeed, you
commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from
among the worlds.






Indeed,
you approach men and obstruct the road and commit in your
meetings [every] evil." And the answer of his people was not
but they said, "Bring us the punishment of Allah , if you
should be of the truthful."






He said, "My Lord, support me against the corrupting people."

And
when Our messengers came to Abraham with the good tidings,
they said, "Indeed, we will destroy the people of that Lot's
city. Indeed, its people have been wrongdoers."

[Abraham]
said, "Indeed, within it is Lot." They said, "We are more
knowing of who is within it. We will surely save him and his
family, except his wife. She is to be of those who remain
behind."

And
when Our messengers came to Lot, he was distressed for them
and felt for them great discomfort. They said, "Fear not, nor
grieve. Indeed, we will save you and your family, except your
wife; she is to be of those who remain behind.

Indeed,
we will bring down on the people of this city punishment
from the sky because they have been defiantly disobedient."

And We have certainly left of it a sign as clear evidence for a people who use reason.

And
to Madyan [We sent] their brother Shu'ayb, and he said, "O
my people, worship Allah and expect the Last Day and do not
commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption."

But they denied him, so the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone.

And
[We destroyed] 'Aad and Thamud, and it has become clear to
you from their [ruined] dwellings. And Satan had made pleasing
to them their deeds and averted them from the path, and they
were endowed with perception.

And
[We destroyed] Qarun and Pharaoh and Haman. And Moses had
already come to them with clear evidences, and they were
arrogant in the land, but they were not outrunners [of Our
punishment].

So
each We seized for his sin; and among them were those upon
whom We sent a storm of stones, and among them were those
who were seized by the blast [from the sky], and among them
were those whom We caused the earth to swallow, and among them
were those whom We drowned. And Allah would not have wronged
them, but it was they who were wronging themselves.

The
example of those who take allies other than Allah is like
that of the spider who takes a home. And indeed, the weakest
of homes is the home of the spider, if they only knew.

Indeed, Allah knows whatever thing they call upon other than Him. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

And these examples We present to the people, but none will understand them except those of knowledge.

Allah created the heavens and the earth in truth. Indeed in that is a sign for the believers.

Recite,
[O Muhammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book and
establish prayer. Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and
wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allah is greater. And Allah
knows that which you do.

And
do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in a
way that is best, except for those who commit injustice among
them, and say, "We believe in that which has been revealed to
us and revealed to you. And our God and your God is one;
and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."

And
thus We have sent down to you the Qur'an. And those to
whom We [previously] gave the Scripture believe in it. And
among these [people of Makkah] are those who believe in it.
And none reject Our verses except the disbelievers.

And
you did not recite before it any scripture, nor did you
inscribe one with your right hand. Otherwise the falsifiers
would have had [cause for] doubt.

Rather,
the Qur'an is distinct verses [preserved] within the breasts
of those who have been given knowledge. And none reject Our
verses except the wrongdoers.

But
they say, "Why are not signs sent down to him from his
Lord?" Say, "The signs are only with Allah , and I am only a
clear warner."

And
is it not sufficient for them that We revealed to you the
Book which is recited to them? Indeed in that is a mercy and
reminder for a people who believe.

Say,
"Sufficient is Allah between me and you as Witness. He knows
what is in the heavens and earth. And they who have believed
in falsehood and disbelieved in Allah - it is those who are the
losers."

And
they urge you to hasten the punishment. And if not for [the
decree of] a specified term, punishment would have reached
them. But it will surely come to them suddenly while they
perceive not.

They urge you to hasten the punishment. And indeed, Hell will be encompassing of the disbelievers

On
the Day the punishment will cover them from above them and
from below their feet and it is said, "Taste [the result of]
what you used to do."

O My servants who have believed, indeed My earth is spacious, so worship only Me.

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

And
those who have believed and done righteous deeds - We will
surely assign to them of Paradise [elevated] chambers beneath
which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. Excellent is
the reward of the [righteous] workers

Who have been patient and upon their Lord rely.

And
how many a creature carries not its [own] provision. Allah
provides for it and for you. And He is the Hearing, the
Knowing.

If
you asked them, "Who created the heavens and earth and
subjected the sun and the moon?" they would surely say, " Allah
." Then how are they deluded?

Allah
extends provision for whom He wills of His servants and
restricts for him. Indeed Allah is, of all things, Knowing.

And
if you asked them, "Who sends down rain from the sky and
gives life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness?" they
would surely say " Allah ." Say, "Praise to Allah "; but most of
them do not reason.

And
this worldly life is not but diversion and amusement. And
indeed, the home of the Hereafter - that is the [eternal]
life, if only they knew.

And
when they board a ship, they supplicate Allah , sincere to
Him in religion. But when He delivers them to the land, at
once they associate others with Him

So that they will deny what We have granted them, and they will enjoy themselves. But they are going to know.

Have
they not seen that We made [Makkah] a safe sanctuary, while
people are being taken away all around them? Then in falsehood
do they believe, and in the favor of Allah they disbelieve?

And
who is more unjust than one who invents a lie about Allah or
denies the truth when it has come to him? Is there not in
Hell a [sufficient] residence for the disbelievers?

And
those who strive for Us - We will surely guide them to
Our ways. And indeed, Allah is with the doers of good.
