Surah Al-'Ankabut (العنكبوت)

The Spider · Meccan · 69 ayahs · Juz 20, 21

• 29:1

  الٓمٓ

  Alif Laam Meem. (Only Allaah knows the correct meaning of these letters.)

• 29:2

  أَحَسِبَ ٱلنَّاسُ أَن يُتْرَكُوٓا۟ أَن يَقُولُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا وَهُمْ لَا يُفْتَنُونَ

  Do people (the Mu'mineen) think that they will be left to say, "We have Imaan!" without being tested? (In fact, the stronger the Imaan, the harder the test.)

• 29:3

  وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۖ فَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ صَدَقُوا۟ وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ

  We certainly tested those (Mu'mineen) before them, and (by putting people through tests) Allaah will definitely (make people) know those who are true (in their Imaan) and He will definitely (make people) know who the liars are (whose Imaan in not sincere).

• 29:4

  أَمْ حَسِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ أَن يَسْبِقُونَا ۚ سَآءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ

  Do those who do evil (who commit kufr and Shirk) think that they can escape Us (escape Our punishment)? Evil (wrong) indeed is the decision (judgement) they take (because none can ever escape Our punishment).

• 29:5

  مَن كَانَ يَرْجُوا۟ لِقَآءَ ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّ أَجَلَ ٱللَّهِ لَـَٔاتٍ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

  Whoever yearns to meet Allaah (should know that) the term of Allaah (the time stipulated by Allaah when He will meet people) will certainly arrive. And He is the All Hearing, the All Knowing.

• 29:6

  وَمَن جَـٰهَدَ فَإِنَّمَا يُجَـٰهِدُ لِنَفْسِهِۦٓ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَغَنِىٌّ عَنِ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

  Whoever strives (fights the Kuffaar or his own passions) strives only for himself (for his own benefit because he will attain the benefits and rewards). Allaah is Independent of the entire universe (and is not dependent on their worship or obedience). (He created us to confer blessing on us).

• 29:7

  وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَنُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَحْسَنَ ٱلَّذِى كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

  Those who have Imaan and do good deeds, We shall definitely cancel (forgive) their sins from them and reward them (with rewards that are) better than what (actions) they did (because the rewards of the Aakhirah are everlasting).
