29:2Do men imagine that they will be left (at ease) because they say, We believe, and will not be tested with affliction?

We certainly tested those before them, and Allah will surely distinguish the truthful from the liars.

29:3Lo! We tested those who were before you. Thus Allah knoweth those who are sincere, and knoweth those who feign.

Or do those who commit evil think they can escape Us? How misguided they are!

29:4Or do those who do ill-deeds imagine that they can outstrip Us? Evil (for them) is that which they decide.

Whoever strives, strives only for himself. Allah is independent of all creation.

29:6And whosoever striveth, striveth only for himself, for lo! Allah is altogether Independent of (His) creatures.
