الٓمٓ

1. Alif Laam Meem ^[1].

[1]. See footnote to Qur’an chapter2: Verse1.

2 : 29

أَحَسِبَ ٱلنَّاسُ أَن يُتۡرَكُوٓاْ أَن يَقُولُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا وَهُمۡ لَا يُفۡتَنُونَ

2. Do the people think that they will be left to say, "We believe" ^[2] and they will not be tested?

[2]. As to their truthfulness to this statement of theirs that there is no god but Allāh and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. The testing of our faith is for our benefit. Consider it pure joy and cause of thanksgiving to God, whenever you face trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. We sometimes fail to consider the connection between suffering and spiritual growth. Our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. This is not the only place where the Qur’an states that our difficulties are actually beneficial for us. Suffering produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

3 : 29

وَلَقَدۡ فَتَنَّا ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡۖ فَلَيَعۡلَمَنَّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ صَدَقُواْ وَلَيَعۡلَمَنَّ ٱلۡكَٰذِبِينَ

3. We have certainly tested those before them, so Allāh will surely make evident those who are truthful, and He will surely make evident the liars.

4 : 29

أَمۡ حَسِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ أَن يَسۡبِقُونَاۚ سَآءَ مَا يَحۡكُمُونَ

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

5 : 29

مَن كَانَ يَرۡجُواْ لِقَآءَ ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّ أَجَلَ ٱللَّهِ لَأٓتٖۚ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ

5. Whoever hopes for the Meeting with Allāh ^[3], then the term appointed by Allāh is surely coming (so let him prepare for it). And He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.

[3]. The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him, said: “Allāh Almighty says: Whoever comes with a good deed will have the reward of ten like it and even more. And whoever comes with an evil deed will be recompensed for one evil deed like it or he will be forgiven. Whoever draws close to Me by the length of a hand, I will draw close to him by the length of an arm. And whoever draws close to Me by the length of an arm, I will draw close to him by the length of a fathom. Whoever comes to Me walking, I will come to him running. For whoever meets Me with enough sins to fill the earth, not associating any partners with Me, I will meet him with as much forgiveness.”
If we seek Allāh first, then all the things we need will be added to us. When we make Allāh first in life, we see Him working through all circumstances and events for our good. Whether you are just beginning to seek out Allāh or you have been a Muslim for years, we should never stop seeking to know Allāh better.

6 : 29

وَمَن جَٰهَدَ فَإِنَّمَا يُجَٰهِدُ لِنَفۡسِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَغَنِيٌّ عَنِ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

6. And whoever strives, he strives hard only for his own good. Indeed, Allāh is surely in no need of the worlds ^[4].

[4]. Allāh is One who does not need us at all. He exists independent of the world, as one who is Self-Sufficient and Self-Existent. But having said that, it is true that Allāh loves us. It is true that He longs for good relationship with us.

7 : 29

وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَنُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنۡهُمۡ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمۡ وَلَنَجۡزِيَنَّهُمۡ أَحۡسَنَ ٱلَّذِي كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ

7. As for those who believe ^[5] and do good deeds, We shall remove from them their evil deeds, and reward them according to the best of what they used to do.

[5]. In the Oneness of Allāh (Islamic Monotheism) and in the Messenger Muhammad, and do not give up their faith for the harm they get from the pagans and unbelievers.

8 : 29

وَوَصَّيۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ بِوَٰلِدَيۡهِ حُسۡنٗاۖ وَإِن جَٰهَدَاكَ لِتُشۡرِكَ بِي مَا لَيۡسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلۡمٞ فَلَا تُطِعۡهُمَآۚ إِلَيَّ مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ فَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ

8. We have enjoined on man to (honor and) be good to his parents ^[6]." But If they strive to make you associate 'others' with Me, of which you have no 'Divine' knowledge, do not obey them. to Me is your return, and I shall inform you of what you used to do.

[6]. Children, obey your parents in everything that not contradicts with the teachings of Islam, for this pleases Allāh. Repeatedly Allāh commands children to honor their parents with loving hearts of obedience.  Children who demean or belittle their parents' leadership and decision making are clearly on a path to destruction. For Allāh commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother that it may go well with you and that you may be blessed'.

9 : 29

وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَنُدۡخِلَنَّهُمۡ فِي ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

9. Those who believe and do righteous deeds, We shall certainly admit them among the righteous (in Paradise).

10 : 29

وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ فَإِذَآ أُوذِيَ فِي ٱللَّهِ جَعَلَ فِتۡنَةَ ٱلنَّاسِ كَعَذَابِ ٱللَّهِۖ وَلَئِن جَآءَ نَصۡرٞ مِّن رَّبِّكَ لَيَقُولُنَّ إِنَّا كُنَّا مَعَكُمۡۚ أَوَلَيۡسَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَعۡلَمَ بِمَا فِي صُدُورِ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

10. Among the people is he who says: "We believe in Allāh." But when he is persecuted in (the Way of) Allāh, he makes the persecution (at the hands) of people as equal to the torment of Allāh. And if there comes help from your Lord (Allāh), they (the hypocrites) would surely say: "We were with you." Is not Allāh most knowing of what is in the chests of the worlds (mankind and Jinn)?

11 : 29

وَلَيَعۡلَمَنَّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَلَيَعۡلَمَنَّ ٱلۡمُنَٰفِقِينَ

11. And Allāh will surely make evident those who believe, and He will surely make evident the hypocrites ^[7].

[7]. I.e., Allāh test the people with good and hard days to distinguish the good from the wicked, although Allâh knows all that before putting them to test. 

12 : 29

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱتَّبِعُواْ سَبِيلَنَا وَلۡنَحۡمِلۡ خَطَٰيَٰكُمۡ وَمَا هُم بِحَٰمِلِينَ مِنۡ خَطَٰيَٰهُم مِّن شَيۡءٍۖ إِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ

12. And those who disbelieve (in the Truth) say to those who believe: Follow our path and we do bear (the consequences of) your sins. But they are not going to bear anything of their sins. Indeed, they are surely liars.

13 : 29

وَلَيَحۡمِلُنَّ أَثۡقَالَهُمۡ وَأَثۡقَالٗا مَّعَ أَثۡقَالِهِمۡۖ وَلَيُسۡـَٔلُنَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ عَمَّا كَانُواْ يَفۡتَرُونَ

13. And they will certainly bear their own burdens (sins), and other burdens ^[8] with their own burdens, and they will certainly be questioned on the Day of Resurrection about what they used to invent (of lies).

[8]. Of the people they misled, although it will not lessen the burden of the latter in any way.

14 : 29

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦ فَلَبِثَ فِيهِمۡ أَلۡفَ سَنَةٍ إِلَّا خَمۡسِينَ عَامٗا فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلطُّوفَانُ وَهُمۡ ظَٰلِمُونَ

14. And indeed, We sent Noah to his people, so he remained among them for a thousand years, less fifty. Then the flood overtook them, while they were unjust ^[9].

[9]. Insisting in associating others with Allāh in worship.

15 : 29

فَأَنجَيۡنَٰهُ وَأَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلسَّفِينَةِ وَجَعَلۡنَٰهَآ ءَايَةٗ لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

15. So We delivered him and those in the ark, and made it a Sign (and lesson) to the worlds (mankind and Jinn).

16 : 29

وَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱتَّقُوهُۖ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرٞ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ

16. And (We also sent) Abraham when he said to his people: "Worship Allāh alone and be mindful of Him; this is best for you, if only you knew."

17 : 29

إِنَّمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَوۡثَٰنٗا وَتَخۡلُقُونَ إِفۡكًاۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَمۡلِكُونَ لَكُمۡ رِزۡقٗا فَٱبۡتَغُواْ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرِّزۡقَ وَٱعۡبُدُوهُ وَٱشۡكُرُواْ لَهُۥٓۖ إِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ

17. You only worship idols (graven images) instead of Allāh, and you create falsehood. Indeed, those whom you worship besides Allāh do not possess for you any provision, so seek from Allāh the provision, worship Him alone, and be grateful to Him. To Him you shall (all) be returned.

18 : 29

وَإِن تُكَذِّبُواْ فَقَدۡ كَذَّبَ أُمَمٞ مِّن قَبۡلِكُمۡۖ وَمَا عَلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ إِلَّا ٱلۡبَلَٰغُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ

18. And if you deny (Our message), then many (wicked) nations before you have also denied ^[10]. And nothing is incumbent on the messenger but a plain delivering (of the Message).

[10]. If the wicked are ruling the nation, sin will be everywhere, but those who live righteously will win in the end. If a nation is not guided by Allāh, the people will lose self-control and follow self-indulgence which is satisfying their own sinful desires, lusts, and pleasures, but the nation that obeys Allah’s laws will be happy.

19 : 29

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ كَيۡفَ يُبۡدِئُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡخَلۡقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥٓۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرٞ

19. Have they not considered how Allāh begins the creation, then He resurrects it ^[11]? Indeed, This is too easy for Allāh.

[11]. I.e., raises it to life again for Judgment.

20 : 29

قُلۡ سِيرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَٱنظُرُواْ كَيۡفَ بَدَأَ ٱلۡخَلۡقَۚ ثُمَّ ٱللَّهُ يُنشِئُ ٱلنَّشۡأَةَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ

20. Say: "Travel throughout the land and see how He began the creation, then Allāh will produce the latter creation. Indeed, Allāh is able to do all things."

21 : 29

يُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَرۡحَمُ مَن يَشَآءُۖ وَإِلَيۡهِ تُقۡلَبُونَ

21. He chastises (justly) whom He wills and has Mercy on whom He wills (out of His grace), and to Him you shall (all) be returned back (for Judgment).

22 : 29

وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعۡجِزِينَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَا فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِۖ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِيّٖ وَلَا نَصِيرٖ

22. And you cannot escape Him on earth or in heaven. Nor have you any protector or helper besides Allāh.

23 : 29

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَلِقَآئِهِۦٓ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يَئِسُواْ مِن رَّحۡمَتِي وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ

23. As for those who disbelieve in the Signs of Allāh and His meeting, those they have despaired of My mercy, and those they will have a painful torment.

24 : 29

فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوۡمِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُواْ ٱقۡتُلُوهُ أَوۡ حَرِّقُوهُ فَأَنجَىٰهُ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّقَوۡمٖ يُؤۡمِنُونَ

24. So the answer of his people was not except that they said: "Kill him or burn him." Then Allāh delivered him from the fire. In this there are certainly signs for a people who believe.

25 : 29

وَقَالَ إِنَّمَا ٱتَّخَذۡتُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَوۡثَٰنٗا مَّوَدَّةَ بَيۡنِكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۖ ثُمَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ يَكۡفُرُ بَعۡضُكُم بِبَعۡضٖ وَيَلۡعَنُ بَعۡضُكُم بَعۡضٗا وَمَأۡوَىٰكُمُ ٱلنَّارُ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن نَّٰصِرِينَ

25. And (Abraham) said 'to his people': "Indeed, you only have taken (for worship) idols (graven images) instead of Allāh, out of mutual love between yourselves in this worldly life ^[12], then on the Day of Resurrection you will deny one another, curse one another, your abode is the eternal Fire, and you shall not have any helpers (intercessors)."

[12]. Worshipping an idol in every people was the secret of unity between them and for every people there was a chosen idol. Worshipping idols also had created a relation between them and their ancestors and they often pretended by the same pretext that those things were the traces of their ancestors which they followed. Besides, the chiefs of the pagans invited their followers to worship idols and this was a ring of join between ‘the chiefs’ and their ‘followers’. But on the Day of the Resurrection, all these chaffy and rotten links will be broken, and everyone puts its sin on another one’s shoulder while he curses him and repudiates the deed of the other.

26 : 29

۞ فَـَٔامَنَ لَهُۥ لُوطٞۘ وَقَالَ إِنِّي مُهَاجِرٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّيٓۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ

26. So Lot believed for him, and (Abraham) said: "I am emigrating to (Allāh) my Lord, for surely He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise."

27 : 29

وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهُۥٓ إِسۡحَٰقَ وَيَعۡقُوبَ وَجَعَلۡنَا فِي ذُرِّيَّتِهِ ٱلنُّبُوَّةَ وَٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ أَجۡرَهُۥ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَاۖ وَإِنَّهُۥ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ لَمِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

27. And We granted to him Isaac and Jacob, and placed in his descendants the Prophethood and the Scripture, and We gave him his reward in this world. And indeed, in the Hereafter he is surely of the righteous.

28 : 29

وَلُوطًا إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦٓ إِنَّكُمۡ لَتَأۡتُونَ ٱلۡفَٰحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَكُم بِهَا مِنۡ أَحَدٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

28. And (mention) Lot, when he said to his people, "Indeed, You are committing such indecency (homosexual acts) which no one have ever done so before you of the worlds (mankind and jinn) ^[13]."

13. i.e., Are there, out of all Allāh's creatures, any besides you who commit this unnatural act?

29 : 29

أَئِنَّكُمۡ لَتَأۡتُونَ ٱلرِّجَالَ وَتَقۡطَعُونَ ٱلسَّبِيلَ وَتَأۡتُونَ فِي نَادِيكُمُ ٱلۡمُنكَرَۖ فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوۡمِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُواْ ٱئۡتِنَا بِعَذَابِ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ

29. Indeed, you (sexually) approach men, cut off the way ^[14], and commit detestable acts in your councils? But nothing was the answer of his people except that they said: "Bring on us Allah’s torment, if you are of the truthful."

[14]. I.e., commit highway robbery and aggression against travelers. Another meaning cut off the offspring by approaching the men as wives and leaving the women.

30 : 29

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱنصُرۡنِي عَلَى ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ

30. (Lot) said: "My Lord (Allah), help me against the corrupting people."

31 : 29

وَلَمَّا جَآءَتۡ رُسُلُنَآ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ بِٱلۡبُشۡرَىٰ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا مُهۡلِكُوٓاْ أَهۡلِ هَٰذِهِ ٱلۡقَرۡيَةِۖ إِنَّ أَهۡلَهَا كَانُواْ ظَٰلِمِينَ

31. And when Our (angelic) messengers came to Abraham with the good news (of the birth of Isaac), they said: "We are certainly going to destroy the people of this town. Indeed, its people are evildoers."

32 : 29

قَالَ إِنَّ فِيهَا لُوطٗاۚ قَالُواْ نَحۡنُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَن فِيهَاۖ لَنُنَجِّيَنَّهُۥ وَأَهۡلَهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱمۡرَأَتَهُۥ كَانَتۡ مِنَ ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ

32. He said: "Indeed, Lot is in it (that town)." They said: "We know well who is in it. We shall deliver him and his family, except his wife; she will be of those who will remain behind (to perish)."

33 : 29

وَلَمَّآ أَن جَآءَتۡ رُسُلُنَا لُوطٗا سِيٓءَ بِهِمۡ وَضَاقَ بِهِمۡ ذَرۡعٗاۖ وَقَالُواْ لَا تَخَفۡ وَلَا تَحۡزَنۡ إِنَّا مُنَجُّوكَ وَأَهۡلَكَ إِلَّا ٱمۡرَأَتَكَ كَانَتۡ مِنَ ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ

33. And when Our (angelic) messengers came to Lot, he was distressed for them and felt straitened (by their arrival). But they said: "Fear not ^[15], nor grieve; we shall certainly deliver you and your family, except your wife; she will be of those who remain behind (to perish)."

[15]. Allah’s precious people are commanded not to be afraid: “Fear not, for I will save you. Do not be afraid, for I am with you”. The pattern of “fear not . . . for” followed by a Divine action is consistently repeated in the Qur’an when Allāh instructs His people not to be afraid. Allah’s presence restrains fear. How reassuring to know that regardless of where life leads us, we need not fear. Even though you walk through the darkest valley, fear no evil, for Allāh is with you.

34 : 29

إِنَّا مُنزِلُونَ عَلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِ هَٰذِهِ ٱلۡقَرۡيَةِ رِجۡزٗا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفۡسُقُونَ

34. Indeed, We will bring down upon the people of this town a scourge from the sky for they have been defiantly disobedient

35 : 29

وَلَقَد تَّرَكۡنَا مِنۡهَآ ءَايَةَۢ بَيِّنَةٗ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَعۡقِلُونَ

35. And indeed We have left thereof a clear Sign (the remains of its ruins) - for a people who understand.

36 : 29

وَإِلَىٰ مَدۡيَنَ أَخَاهُمۡ شُعَيۡبٗا فَقَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱرۡجُواْ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَ وَلَا تَعۡثَوۡاْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مُفۡسِدِينَ

36. And to (the people of) Midian (We sent) their brother Shu’aib, so he said: "My people, worship Allāh alone and hope 'for the reward of' the Last Day, and do not go about in the land, spreading corruption."

37 : 29

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلرَّجۡفَةُ فَأَصۡبَحُواْ فِي دَارِهِمۡ جَٰثِمِينَ

37. But they denied him (Shuaib), so seized them the earthquake, and they became within their home (corpses) fallen prone.

38 : 29

وَعَادٗا وَثَمُودَاْ وَقَد تَّبَيَّنَ لَكُم مِّن مَّسَٰكِنِهِمۡۖ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ فَصَدَّهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَكَانُواْ مُسۡتَبۡصِرِينَ

38. And ‘Aad and Thamud (We destroyed them also), and (their fate) is already evident to you from their (ruined) dwellings. And Satan made their deeds fair-seeming to them, so he kept them back from the (right) Path (of Islam), and they were endowed with perception.

39 : 29

وَقَٰرُونَ وَفِرۡعَوۡنَ وَهَٰمَٰنَۖ وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُم مُّوسَىٰ بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ فَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا كَانُواْ سَٰبِقِينَ

39. And Korah, Pharaoh and Haman; and certainly Moses came to them with clear Signs, but they were puffed-up with pride in the land ^[16], but they were not outrunners (from Our punishment).

[16]. Your pride will bring you down. Humility will bring you honor.

40 : 29

فَكُلًّا أَخَذۡنَا بِذَنۢبِهِۦۖ فَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ حَاصِبٗا وَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ أَخَذَتۡهُ ٱلصَّيۡحَةُ وَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ خَسَفۡنَا بِهِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ أَغۡرَقۡنَاۚ وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيَظۡلِمَهُمۡ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ

40. So each of them We seized for their sin. Then of them was he who, We sent on him a violent storm ^[17], and of them was he who seized him the awful cry ^[18], and of them was he who, We caused to swallow him the earth ^[19] and of them was he who, We drowned ^[20]. And it was not Allāh to do injustice to them, but they were unjust to their own selves.

[17). i.e., Lot’s people.
[18]. Thamud and the people of Shuaib.
[19]. i.e., Korah.
[20]. the people of Noah and Pharoah.

41 : 29

مَثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَوۡلِيَآءَ كَمَثَلِ ٱلۡعَنكَبُوتِ ٱتَّخَذَتۡ بَيۡتٗاۖ وَإِنَّ أَوۡهَنَ ٱلۡبُيُوتِ لَبَيۡتُ ٱلۡعَنكَبُوتِۚ لَوۡ كَانُواْ يَعۡلَمُونَ

41. The example of those who take protectors (lords, saviors) other than Allāh is like the spider who takes for itself a home (mesh). And indeed, the frailest of homes is the spider’s home (mesh) - if only they knew.

42 : 29

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُ مَا يَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ مِن شَيۡءٖۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ

42. Surely Allāh knows that whatever (gods) they invoke besides Him are nothing. For He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

43 : 29

وَتِلۡكَ ٱلۡأَمۡثَٰلُ نَضۡرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِۖ وَمَا يَعۡقِلُهَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡعَٰلِمُونَ

43. And these examples, We present to the people, and none will understand them but the learned ones.

44 : 29

خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِٱلۡحَقِّۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

44. Allāh created the heavens and the earth for a truth (genuine purpose). There is certainly a Sign in this for the believers.

45 : 29

ٱتۡلُ مَآ أُوحِيَ إِلَيۡكَ مِنَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَۖ إِنَّ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ تَنۡهَىٰ عَنِ ٱلۡفَحۡشَآءِ وَٱلۡمُنكَرِۗ وَلَذِكۡرُ ٱللَّهِ أَكۡبَرُۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُ مَا تَصۡنَعُونَ

45. Recite that which has been revealed to you of the Book 'the Qur’an' ^[21] and keep up the prayer. Indeed, the prayer keeps one away from indecency and sin ^[22]. And the Remembrance of Allāh ^[23] is greater. For Allāh knows what you do.

[21]. Get the Qur’an and read it. It is the Word of God, so you can't really go wrong there. Read the Qur’an to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be righteous. The Qur'an is light to direct you, spiritual food to support you and comfort to strength you. Pray ib any nearby mosque and attend the congregational prayer there with the Muslims whom submit themselves to God.
[22]. Through prayer, we can overcome temptations to sin. Pray for Allah’s help to keep you from making wrong choices. This will give you the strength to do what is right.
[23]. Remembrance of Allāh (Adhikr) is one of the greatest forms of worship in Islam. It involves the use of the heart, tongue (or both) to praise Allāh, seek forgiveness or produce any form of righteous deed leading to reward. Although it appears simple to do, yet powerful to gain a high rank in the sight of the almighty! For example, a two-word dhikr can massively increase the scale of righteous deeds of a believer and lead him to Jannah, as reported by a narration from Muhammad, God’s messenger ﷺ; “Two words that are light on the tongue and heavy in the balance and beloved to the Most Merciful: Subhaanallaah wabihamdihi Subhaanallaah il-‘Azeem”.

46 : 29

۞ وَلَا تُجَٰدِلُوٓاْ أَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ إِلَّا بِٱلَّتِي هِيَ أَحۡسَنُ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مِنۡهُمۡۖ وَقُولُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِٱلَّذِيٓ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡنَا وَأُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكُمۡ وَإِلَٰهُنَا وَإِلَٰهُكُمۡ وَٰحِدٞ وَنَحۡنُ لَهُۥ مُسۡلِمُونَ

46. Do not argue with the followers of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) except in the best manner, except those among them that commit injustice, and say: "We believe in that which has been sent down to us (of revelation) and sent down to you, and our God and your God is One (i.e., Allāh), and to Him 'alone' we submit as Muslims ^[24].

[24]. Christians practice polytheism, while Muslims uphold pure monotheism. For this reason, it is permissible to pray in a mosque, but not in a church.
At the same time, Muslims affirm the prophethood of Jesus, recognizing that he was sent to the lost sheep of Israel, whereas the Jews deny him. And just as the Jews reject Jesus, the Christians likewise reject the Prophet Muhammad — even though he is mentioned in the Gospel. Therefore, it is an obligation upon both Jews and Christians to follow God’s final Messenger. To turn away from him is to deny the truth.
Mohammad, God's messenger (ﷺ) said: "By Allāh in Whose Hand my soul is. You will not enter Paradise until you believe (and submit to God), and you will not believe until you love one another".
And this is love: that we walk in obedience to Allah’s Commandments. His command is that you worship none but Him and believe in His messenger, the Prophet Muhammad and follow him, and that you walk in brotherhood and love with one another.

47 : 29

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَنزَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَۚ فَٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦۖ وَمِنۡ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ مَن يُؤۡمِنُ بِهِۦۚ وَمَا يَجۡحَدُ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ

47. Thus We have sent down to you the Book (the Qur’an). So those (who are firm in knowledge) whom We have given them the Scripture before believe in it ^[25], and also of these (pagans) there are those (wise people) who believed in it. None reject in Our verses (of the Qur’an) except the deniers.

[25]. For they find the description of the Qur’an and the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in the bible.

48 : 29

وَمَا كُنتَ تَتۡلُواْ مِن قَبۡلِهِۦ مِن كِتَٰبٖ وَلَا تَخُطُّهُۥ بِيَمِينِكَۖ إِذٗا لَّٱرۡتَابَ ٱلۡمُبۡطِلُونَ

48. Never did you (Muhammad) recite any Scripture before it (the Qur’an), nor did you write one with your right hand, then the falsifiers would have had cause for doubt.

49 : 29

بَلۡ هُوَ ءَايَٰتُۢ بَيِّنَٰتٞ فِي صُدُورِ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡعِلۡمَۚ وَمَا يَجۡحَدُ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ إِلَّا ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ

49. Rather, it (the Qur’an) is clear Verses in the hearts of those who are granted 'right' knowledge. And none reject Our Revelations except the unjust.

50 : 29

وَقَالُواْ لَوۡلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيۡهِ ءَايَٰتٞ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦۚ قُلۡ إِنَّمَا ٱلۡأٓيَٰتُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَإِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٌ

50. And they said: "Why are not miracles sent down upon him from his Lord (Allāh)?" Say: "The miracles are only with Allāh, and I am only a plain warner."

51 : 29

أَوَلَمۡ يَكۡفِهِمۡ أَنَّآ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ يُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَرَحۡمَةٗ وَذِكۡرَىٰ لِقَوۡمٖ يُؤۡمِنُونَ

51. Is it not enough for them that We have sent down to you (Muhammad) the Book (the Qur’an) which is recited to them? Indeed, there is Mercy in this and a Remembrance for a people who believe ^[26].

[26]. Muhammad, God's messenger ﷺ said: "Not to wish to be the like of except two men: A man whom Allāh has taught the Qur’ân and he recites it during some hours of the night and during some hours of the day, and his neighbour listens to him and says: ‘I wish I had been given what has been given to so-and-so, so that I might do what he does;’ and a man whom Allāh has given wealth and he spends it (according to what Allāh has ordained) in a just and right manner, whereupon another man may say: ‘I wish I had been given what so-and-so has been given, for then I would do what he does.’"

52 : 29

قُلۡ كَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ بَيۡنِي وَبَيۡنَكُمۡ شَهِيدٗاۖ يَعۡلَمُ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ بِٱلۡبَٰطِلِ وَكَفَرُواْ بِٱللَّهِ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡخَٰسِرُونَ

52. Say: "Allāh is Enough as a Witness between me and you." He knows what is in the heavens and the earth. But those who believe in falsehood and disbelieve in Allāh - it is they who are the losers."

53 : 29

وَيَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَكَ بِٱلۡعَذَابِ وَلَوۡلَآ أَجَلٞ مُّسَمّٗى لَّجَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُۚ وَلَيَأۡتِيَنَّهُم بَغۡتَةٗ وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ

53. And they ask you to hasten on the torment. Had not a term been appointed, the torment would already have come to them. And It will certainly come to them all of a sudden while they do not perceive.

54 : 29

يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَكَ بِٱلۡعَذَابِ وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحِيطَةُۢ بِٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

54. They ask you to hasten on the torment. But Gehinnom 'Hell' will surely encompass the deniers.

55 : 29

يَوۡمَ يَغۡشَىٰهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ مِن فَوۡقِهِمۡ وَمِن تَحۡتِ أَرۡجُلِهِمۡ وَيَقُولُ ذُوقُواْ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ

55. On the Day when the torment will cover them from above them, and from under their feet; and He will say: "Taste what you used to do (of evil)."

56 : 29

يَٰعِبَادِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِنَّ أَرۡضِي وَٰسِعَةٞ فَإِيَّٰيَ فَٱعۡبُدُونِ

56. O my (believing) servants, My earth is indeed vast, so worship only Me and Me alone.

57 : 29

كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ ذَآئِقَةُ ٱلۡمَوۡتِۖ ثُمَّ إِلَيۡنَا تُرۡجَعُونَ

57. Every soul will taste the agony of death, then to Us you will (all) be returned.

58 : 29

وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ غُرَفٗا تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۚ نِعۡمَ أَجۡرُ ٱلۡعَٰمِلِينَ

58. As for those who believe and do righteous deeds, We will surely house to them of Paradise (elevated) chambers under which rivers flow,flow, abiding therein forever. How excellent is the reward of the workers (of good):

59 : 29

ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُواْ وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ

59. Those who are patient, and on their Lord 'Allāh alone' do they rely and trust.

60 : 29

وَكَأَيِّن مِّن دَآبَّةٖ لَّا تَحۡمِلُ رِزۡقَهَا ٱللَّهُ يَرۡزُقُهَا وَإِيَّاكُمۡۚ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ

60. And how many a creature carries not its own sustenance. Allāh provides for it and for you; for He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.

61 : 29

وَلَئِن سَأَلۡتَهُم مَّنۡ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَسَخَّرَ ٱلشَّمۡسَ وَٱلۡقَمَرَ لَيَقُولُنَّ ٱللَّهُۖ فَأَنَّىٰ يُؤۡفَكُونَ

61. And if you ask them: "Who created the heavens and the earth, and has subjected the sun and the moon?" They will certainly say: "Allāh." How are they then turned away (from the Truth)?

62 : 29

ٱللَّهُ يَبۡسُطُ ٱلرِّزۡقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِۦ وَيَقۡدِرُ لَهُۥٓۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ عَلِيمٞ

62. Allāh extends the provision for whom He wills of His servants or restricts for him. Indeed, Allāh has perfect Knowledge of all things.

63 : 29

وَلَئِن سَأَلۡتَهُم مَّن نَّزَّلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ فَأَحۡيَا بِهِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَوۡتِهَا لَيَقُولُنَّ ٱللَّهُۚ قُلِ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِۚ بَلۡ أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡقِلُونَ

63. And if you ask them: "Who is it that has been sending down water from the sky, then revives therewith the earth after its death;" they will say, "Allāh." Say: "All praise be to Allāh." But most of them do not understand.

64 : 29

وَمَا هَٰذِهِ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَآ إِلَّا لَهۡوٞ وَلَعِبٞۚ وَإِنَّ ٱلدَّارَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ لَهِيَ ٱلۡحَيَوَانُۚ لَوۡ كَانُواْ يَعۡلَمُونَ

64. And the life of this world is nothing but amused and a play. And the home of the Hereafter, that is surely the (eternal) life - if they only knew.

65 : 29

فَإِذَا رَكِبُواْ فِي ٱلۡفُلۡكِ دَعَوُاْ ٱللَّهَ مُخۡلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّىٰهُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡبَرِّ إِذَا هُمۡ يُشۡرِكُونَ

65. So when they ride in the ships (and find themselves in danger) they call upon Allāh (alone), being sincere to Him in devotion, but when He brings them safe to the land, at once they associate others with Him.

66 : 29

لِيَكۡفُرُواْ بِمَآ ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمۡ وَلِيَتَمَتَّعُواْۚ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ

66. So that they will deny what We have given them, and let them enjoy themselves (for a while); so they will soon come to know (the result of this behavior).

67 : 29

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ أَنَّا جَعَلۡنَا حَرَمًا ءَامِنٗا وَيُتَخَطَّفُ ٱلنَّاسُ مِنۡ حَوۡلِهِمۡۚ أَفَبِٱلۡبَٰطِلِ يُؤۡمِنُونَ وَبِنِعۡمَةِ ٱللَّهِ يَكۡفُرُونَ

67. Have they not seen that We have made a safe sanctuary (i e., Makkah), while the people are snatched away ^[27] from all around them? Will they still believe in falsehood, and deny Allah’s Grace?

[27]. i.e., killed and taken captives

68 : 29

وَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوۡ كَذَّبَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُۥٓۚ أَلَيۡسَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَثۡوٗى لِّلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

68. And who is more unjust than one who invents a lie against Allāh, or rejects the Truth when it has come to him? Is not Hell the 'fitting' Home for all the deniers?

69 : 29

وَٱلَّذِينَ جَٰهَدُواْ فِينَا لَنَهۡدِيَنَّهُمۡ سُبُلَنَاۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَمَعَ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

69. As for those who strive hard in Our cause, We shall certainly guide them to Our Ways (of peace and salvation) ^[28]. And indeed Allāh is with the good-doers.

[28]. The various ways and means to attain the acceptance and Pleasure of Allāh.
