29. Surah Al-'Ankabut – Verses 41–69
The SpiderRead and listen to Surah Al-'Ankabut with translation, tafsir, audio recitation, word-by-word meaning, and transliteration.
The example of those who take allies other than Allāh is like that of the spider who takes [i.e., constructs] a home. And indeed, the weakest of homes is the home of the spider, if they only knew.
— Saheeh International
Indeed, Allāh knows whatever thing they call upon1 other than Him. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
— Saheeh International
And these examples We present to the people, but none will understand them except those of knowledge.
— Saheeh International
Allāh created the heavens and the earth in truth. Indeed in that is a sign for the believers.
— Saheeh International
Recite, [O Muḥammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book and establish prayer. Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allāh is greater. And Allāh knows that which you do.
— Saheeh International
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."
— Saheeh International
And thus We have sent down to you the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān]. 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.
— Saheeh International
And you did not recite before it any scripture, nor did you inscribe one with your right hand. Then [i.e., otherwise] the falsifiers would have had [cause for] doubt.
— Saheeh International
Rather, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is distinct verses [preserved] within the breasts of those who have been given knowledge. And none reject Our verses except the wrongdoers.
— Saheeh International
But they say, "Why are not signs sent down to him from his Lord?" Say, "The signs are only with Allāh, and I am only a clear warner."
— Saheeh International
And is it not sufficient for them that We revealed to you the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] which is recited to them? Indeed in that is a mercy and reminder for a people who believe.
— Saheeh International
Say, "Sufficient is Allāh 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 Allāh - it is those who are the losers."
— Saheeh International
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.
— Saheeh International
They urge you to hasten the punishment. And indeed, Hell will be encompassing of the disbelievers
— Saheeh International
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."
— Saheeh International
O My servants who have believed, indeed My earth is spacious, so worship only Me.
— Saheeh International
Every soul will taste death. Then to Us will you be returned.
— Saheeh International
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
— Saheeh International
Who have been patient and upon their Lord rely.
— Saheeh International
And how many a creature carries not its [own] provision. Allāh provides for it and for you. And He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
— Saheeh International
If you asked them, "Who created the heavens and earth and subjected the sun and the moon?" they would surely say, "Allāh." Then how are they deluded?
— Saheeh International
Allāh extends provision for whom He wills of His servants and restricts for him. Indeed Allāh is, of all things, Knowing.
— Saheeh International
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, "Allāh." Say, "Praise to Allāh"; but most of them do not reason.
— Saheeh International
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.
— Saheeh International
And when they board a ship, they supplicate Allāh, sincere to Him in religion [i.e., faith and hope]. But when He delivers them to the land, at once they associate others with Him
— Saheeh International
So that they will deny what We have granted them, and they will enjoy themselves. But they are going to know.1
— Saheeh International
Have they not seen that We made [Makkah] a safe sanctuary, while people are being taken away1 all around them? Then in falsehood do they believe, and in the favor of Allāh they disbelieve?
— Saheeh International
And who is more unjust than one who invents a lie about Allāh or denies the truth when it has come to him? Is there not in Hell a [sufficient] residence for the disbelievers?
— Saheeh International
And those who strive for Us - We will surely guide them to Our ways.1 And indeed, Allāh is with the doers of good.
