Section 1

Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

[Ankabut 29:1] Alif-Lam-Meem. (Alphabets of the Arabic language – Allah and to whomever He reveals, know their precise meanings.)

[Ankabut 29:2] Do men fancy that they will be left just upon their declaring, “We believe”, and they will not be tested?

[Ankabut 29:3] We indeed tested those before them – so Allah will surely test the truthful, and will surely test the liars.

[Ankabut 29:4] Or do they who commit evil deeds imagine that they can escape from Us? What an evil judgement they impose!

[Ankabut 29:5] Whoever expects to meet Allah – then indeed the time appointed by Allah will come; and He is the All Hearing, the All Knowing.

[Ankabut 29:6] And whoever strives in Allah's cause, strives only for his own benefit; indeed Allah is Independent of the entire creation.
