S:  And call not with Allah any other god; there is no god but He, every thing is perishable but He; His is the judgment, and to Him you shall be brought back.

In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

029.001 Y:  A.L.M.

P:  Alif.  Lam.  Mim.

S:  Alif Lam Mim.

029.002 Y:  Do men think that they will be left alone on saying, “We believe”, and that they will not be tested?

P:  Do men imagine that they will be left (at ease) because they say, We believe, and will not be tested with affliction?

S:  Do men think that they will be left alone on saying, We believe, and not be tried?

029.003 Y:  We did test those before them, and Allah will certainly know those who are true from those who are false.

P:  Lo!  We tested those who were before you.  Thus Allah knoweth those who are sincere, and knoweth those who feign.

S:  And certainly We tried those before them, so Allah will certainly know those who are true and He will certainly know the liars.

029.004 Y:  Do those who practise evil think that they will get the better of Us?  Evil is their judgment!

P:  Or do those who do ill-deeds imagine that they can outstrip Us?  Evil (for them) is that which they decide.

S:  Or do they who work evil think that they will escape Us?  Evil is it that they judge!

029.005 Y:  For those whose hopes are in the meeting with Allah (in the Hereafter, let them strive); for the term (appointed) by Allah is surely coming and He hears and knows (all things).

P:  Whoso looketh forward to the meeting with Allah (let him know that) Allah’s reckoning is surely nigh, and He is the Hearer, the Knower.

S:  Whoever hopes to meet Allah, the term appointed by Allah will then most surely come; and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

029.006 Y:  And if any strive (with might and main), they do so for their own souls:  for Allah is free of all needs from all creation.

P:  And whosoever striveth, striveth only for himself, for lo!  Allah is altogether Independent of (His) creatures.

S:  And whoever strives hard, he strives only for his own soul; most surely Allah is Self-sufficient, above (need of) the worlds.

029.007 Y:  Those who believe and work righteous deeds,- from them shall We blot out all evil (that may be) in them, and We shall reward them according to the best of their deeds.

P:  And as for those who believe and do good works, We shall remit from them their evil deeds and shall repay them the best that they did.

S:  And (as for) those who believe and do good, We will most certainly do away with their evil deeds and We will most certainly reward them the best of what they did.
