13:29

Those whobelievedand didrighteous deedsblessedness(is) for themand a beautifulplace of return(29)

Those who believe and do good, for them will be bliss and an honourable destination.”

13:30

ThusWe have sent youtoa nationverilyhave passed awayfrombefore itnationsso that you might reciteto themwhatWe revealedto youwhile theydisbelieveﱚﱛin the Most GraciousSayHe(is) my Lord(there is) nogodexceptHimUpon HimI put my trustand to Him(is) my return(30)

And so We have sent you ˹O Prophet˺ to a community, like ˹We did with˺ earlier communities, so that you may recite to them what We have revealed to you. Yet they deny the Most Compassionate.1 Say, “He is my Lord! There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. In Him I put my trust, and to Him I turn ˹in repentance˺.”

13:31

And ifthat wasany Qurancould be movedby itthe mountainsorcould be cloven asunderby itthe earthorcould be made to speakby itﱵﱶthe deadNaywith Allah(is) the commandﱺﱻallThen do notknowthose whoﱿbelievethatifhad willedAllahsurely, He would have guidedallﲆﲇall of the mankindAnd notwill ceasethose whodisbelieveto strike themfor whatthey dida disasterorit settlesclosefromtheir homesuntilcomes(the) promiseﲘﲙ(of) AllahIndeedAllah(will) notfail(in) the Promise(31)

If there were a recitation that could cause mountains to move, or the earth to split, or the dead to speak, ˹it would have been this Quran˺. But all matters are by Allah’s Will. Have the believers not yet realized that had Allah willed, He could have guided all of humanity? And disasters will continue to afflict the disbelievers or strike close to their homes for their misdeeds, until Allah’s promise comes to pass. Surely Allah never fails in His promise.

13:32

And certainlywere mockedMessengersfrombefore youbut I granted respiteto those whodisbelievedthenﲩﲪI seized themand howwasMy penalty(32)

Other messengers had already been ridiculed before you, but I delayed the disbelievers ˹for a while˺ then seized them. And how ˹horrible˺ was My punishment!

13:33

Is ˹there any equal to˺ the Vigilant One Who knows what every soul commits? Yet the pagans have associated others with Allah ˹in worship˺. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Name them! Or do you ˹mean to˺ inform Him of something He does not know on the earth? Or are these ˹gods˺ just empty words?” In fact, the disbelievers’ falsehood has been made so appealing to them that they have been turned away from the Path. And whoever Allah leaves to stray will be left with no guide.

13:34

For them is punishment in this worldly life, but the punishment of the Hereafter is truly far worse. And none can shield them from Allah.
