Listen to the powerful and reflective recitation of Surah Al-‘Ankabut, the twenty-ninth chapter of the Quran. Known as “The Spider,” this Surah highlights the reality of tests and trials in the life of every believer.
Surah Al-‘Ankabut reminds us that faith will be tested and that patience and steadfastness are essential for success. It recounts the stories of earlier prophets such as Nuh (AS), Ibrahim (AS), Lut (AS), Shu‘ayb (AS), and Musa (AS), showing how they remained firm despite rejection and hardship.
The Surah uses the example of the spider’s fragile web to illustrate the weakness of relying on anything other than Allah. It calls believers to place complete trust in Him, remain sincere in worship, and stand strong in times of difficulty.

00:00al ankabut the spider with the name of allah the most gracious the ever-merciful alf lam meem i am
00:13allah the all-knowing
00:16do the people think that they will be left alone and not tried with hardships for the mere fact that
00:23they profess belief whereas we did already try those who were before them with hardships
00:30allah will surely bring to light those who are true in their faith as he will bring to light also
00:36the liars or do those who do evil deeds think that they will escape our punishment how ill they
00:45judge he that looks forward to meet allah let him be prepared for it for the time appointed by allah
00:53is bound to come he is the all-hearing the all-knowing and he who strives hard in the way
01:02of allah does it in fact for his own good verily allah is independent of the worlds
01:10and those who believe and do deeds of righteousness we shall invariably rid them of their evils and we shall
01:19of course reward them according to the best of their deeds
01:24we have enjoined on a human being to be kind to his parents but should they stress upon you to
01:32associate
01:32with me things which you know to be nothing at all you shall not obey them you shall all have
01:40to return to me after all i shall tell you all that you have been doing in your life
01:47and as to those who believe and do deeds of righteousness we will certainly admit them to the fold of
01:54the righteous
01:56there are some hypocrites among the people who say we believe in allah but when they are made to suffer
02:03in the cause of allah
02:04they regard the persecution by people as if it were the punishment from allah
02:12yet if help comes from your lord and he gives you victory they are sure to say of course we
02:21were with you
02:23we should also have a share in it
02:27why does not allah know well enough what lies hidden in the hearts of all beings
02:33indeed
02:34allah will bring to light those who believe
02:37and he will also reveal the hypocrites
02:41and those who disbelieve say to those who believe
02:45follow our way
02:47and we will bear the consequences of your sins at the time of judgment
02:51whereas
02:52they can bear nothing whatsoever of their sins
02:56they are as a matter of fact
02:59liars
03:01on the other hand
03:02they will certainly have to bear the burdens of their own sins
03:06as well as some burdens of leading others astray
03:10over and above their own burdens
03:12and they will be questioned on the day of resurrection
03:15about the lies that they used to fabricate
03:19and we indeed sent noah to his people
03:23and he his teachings
03:25stayed among them for as long as a thousand years short of fifty years
03:31while his people were steeped in wrongdoings
03:34they were caught in the deluge
03:37however
03:37we delivered him
03:39and along with him all
03:41those who were in the ark
03:44and we made this event
03:46a sign for the peoples
03:49and we sent abraham
03:52recall the time when he said to his people
03:54worship allah and take him as a shield
03:58that is best for you
04:00if you but knew
04:02the things you worship apart from allah
04:05are only false gods
04:06and in calling them gods
04:08you forge lies
04:10those gods
04:11whom you worship
04:13besides allah
04:14do not have the means
04:16to provide sustenance for you
04:17therefore
04:19seek sustenance and provision
04:21for yourselves from allah
04:23and worship him
04:24and give thanks
04:25for you will be brought back to him one day
04:29and if you deny me
04:31then you should not forget
04:33that people before you
04:35have also cried lies
04:37to their respective messengers
04:38and the messenger is responsible
04:41only for conveying the divine message
04:43to the people
04:44in clear terms
04:46do the people not ever consider
04:49how allah originates the creation
04:51then continues repeating and reproducing it
04:55this work of creation and reproduction
04:58is indeed easy for allah
05:02say
05:02travels through the earth
05:05and observe how he brought about the first creation
05:08allah will as well bring about the second creation in the hereafter
05:14verily
05:15allah is possessor
05:16of prudential powers
05:18over all his desired things
05:21he punishes whom he will
05:23of the guilty
05:24and shows mercy
05:26to whom he will
05:27and to him
05:28you shall have to be turned back
05:31you cannot escape him
05:33on the earth
05:33or in the heaven
05:35and you have no patron
05:37nor even a helper
05:38apart from allah
05:41and those who deny the signs of allah
05:44and deny
05:45that they will meet him
05:47are actually despaired of my mercy
05:50it is they for whom awaits a grievous punishment
05:55his people had no response to make to abraham
05:58but they said
06:00kill him
06:01or rather burn him
06:03but allah delivered him from the fire
06:06there are sure signs in this episode
06:10for the people who would believe
06:13abraham said
06:15you have certainly taken for yourselves
06:18idols for worship
06:19apart from allah
06:21as a mark of mutual love
06:23between you all
06:25polytheist brethren
06:26in the present life
06:27but on the day of resurrection
06:30you will disown one another
06:32and curse one another
06:34and your resort will be the fire
06:36and you will have none to help you
06:40and lot became a believer because of him
06:43and abraham said
06:45i shall migrate
06:46where i have been commanded to by my lord
06:49he is the almighty
06:50the all-wise
06:53and we bestowed on him
06:55righteous offsprings
06:57isaac a son
06:59and jacob a grandson
07:01and we perpetuated the gift of prophethood
07:05and the scripture in his descendants
07:08and we gave him his reward in this life
07:11and he will most surely occupy an eminent place
07:16among the righteous in the hereafter
07:19and we sent lot
07:20behold he said to his people
07:23you indulge in such an obscenity
07:27as is unprecedented and unsurpassed in the whole world
07:31is it not true
07:33you approach men
07:34lustfully
07:35and commit highway robbery
07:38is it not true also
07:40you commit indecent action in your gatherings
07:44but his people had no response to make
07:47yet they said
07:49bring upon us the punishment of allah
07:52if you are of those who speak the truth
07:57thereupon
07:57lot said
07:58help me my lord
08:00against these people who work corruption
08:06and when our messengers came to abraham
08:08with important news
08:10they said
08:11we are going to destroy people of this township
08:14for its inhabitants are certainly wrongdoers
08:17abraham said
08:19but lot is living there in that township
08:22they said
08:23we know very well
08:25who are living in it
08:26we will surely save him and his family
08:29except his wife
08:31who is among those who stay behind
08:34and when our messengers came to lot
08:37he felt distressed on account of their coming
08:40for he felt helpless to give them protection
08:43but they the messenger said
08:46have no fear
08:48and do not grieve
08:50allah promises you protection
08:52saying
08:53we will deliver you
08:55and all your household
08:56except your wife
08:58who will not leave the place stricken with calamity
09:02and who is among those
09:04staying behind
09:06as for the inhabitants of this township
09:09we are going to bring down upon them
09:12an unavoidable calamity
09:13for they have been behaving disobediently
09:18behold
09:19we have left there
09:21in the ruins of this township
09:23a clear sign for a people
09:25who would care to understand
09:28and to midianites
09:29we sent their kinsman
09:31Shu'aib
09:32he said
09:33my people
09:35worship Allah
09:36and hope
09:38putting your faithful confidence in it
09:41for the last day
09:42and do not act corruptly
09:45behaving lawlessly in the country
09:48but instead of obeying him
09:51they cried him lies
09:53so they were caught in a violent earthquake
09:56and they became corpses
09:58laid down on their chests
10:00on the ground
10:01in their dwellings
10:04and we destroyed the tribes of Ad and Thamud
10:08and this must have become clear to you
10:11from their dwellings
10:12Satan made their evil deeds
10:15fair seeming to them
10:16and by making them take pride in their doings
10:19turned them away from the right way
10:21though they were enlightened
10:23and sagacious people
10:26and similar was the fate met by Korah
10:29Pharaoh
10:30and Haman
10:32Moses had come to them
10:34with manifest signs
10:36but they behaved arrogantly on the earth
10:39yet they could not outstrip us
10:42and thus escape our punishment
10:45in short
10:46we took each of them to task for his sins
10:49against some of them
10:52we sent a violent storm of sand and stones
10:55while others were overtaken by a roaring blast
10:59and some others we made extinct
11:01in the bowels of the earth
11:02and yet others we drowned
11:04it was far from Allah
11:07to have done injustice to them
11:09rather they were doing wrong to themselves
11:13the case of those who take
11:15helping friends apart from Allah
11:17is like the case of the spider
11:20that takes to itself a house
11:22yet of all houses
11:24the house of the spider
11:26is the frailest
11:27if they but knew
11:29the flimsiness
11:30and fragility
11:31of their idols
11:32they would not have sought
11:34their protection
11:36verily
11:37Allah knows
11:38whatever they call upon
11:39apart from him
11:40he is the almighty
11:42the all wise
11:45these are the various situations
11:47which we set forth
11:49for the benefit of humankind
11:50yet except for the learned
11:53nobody tries to grasp them
11:58Allah has created the heavens
12:00and the earth
12:01to suit the requirements
12:03of truth and wisdom
12:04and for a significant end
12:07in this
12:08there is in fact
12:10a great sign for the believers
12:14recite
12:15preach
12:16follow and meditate
12:18on that which has been revealed
12:20to you of the book
12:21and observe prayer
12:23verily
12:24prayer restrains
12:25the observer
12:26from indecency
12:27and abominable things
12:28and loathsome deeds
12:30and from all that
12:32runs counter to reason
12:34and moral sense
12:36yet of all
12:37the greatest thing
12:39is that Allah
12:40will remember you
12:41and help you rise
12:42to eminence
12:43and Allah knows
12:44all that you do
12:46believers
12:47observe all the propriety
12:50when you argue
12:52when you argue with the people
12:52of the scripture
12:53but those who are bent
12:55upon behaving unjustly
12:56among them
12:57do not agree
12:58to these principles
12:59so deal with them
13:01accordingly
13:02and say to them
13:04we believe in all
13:05that is revealed to us
13:07and in that which
13:08has been revealed
13:09to you
13:10and our God
13:11and your God
13:13is one
13:13and to him
13:15we stand
13:16resigned
13:18and for a similar purpose
13:20of confirming
13:20and testifying
13:21to the truth
13:22of all previous scriptures
13:23have we sent
13:25down to you
13:25this perfect book
13:27and those
13:29whom we have given
13:30the true knowledge
13:30of the book
13:31the Torah
13:31believe in it
13:33and of these
13:34Meccans who possessed
13:36no sacred scriptures
13:37before
13:37there are some
13:39who believe in it
13:40the Quran
13:40and it is only
13:42the ungrateful
13:43disbelievers
13:44who deny
13:45our revelations
13:46deliberately
13:46and persistently
13:49Prophet
13:49you read no book
13:52nor did you write one
13:54with your own hand
13:55before this
13:55had it been so
13:57those who declare it
13:59as false
13:59could then have the cause
14:01to entertain
14:02some doubts
14:04nay
14:04far from being
14:06an invention
14:07this Quran
14:08is full of clear signs
14:10in the minds
14:10of those
14:11who have been
14:11given true knowledge
14:12it is only
14:14the unjust
14:15indeed
14:15who deny
14:17our signs
14:18deliberately
14:19and they say
14:20why have no
14:22signs of punishment
14:23been revealed
14:24to him
14:24from his Lord
14:25say to them
14:26the signs
14:27are many
14:28with Allah
14:29accordingly
14:30I am about
14:31to give you
14:32plain warning
14:33concerning
14:34some of the
14:34signs of punishment
14:36well
14:37is this
14:38sign of mercy
14:39not enough
14:40for them
14:41that we have
14:42revealed to you
14:43this perfect book
14:44which is recited
14:45to them
14:46as a matter
14:47of fact
14:47it comprises
14:48mercy
14:49and blessings
14:50and is a means
14:51to rise
14:52to eminence
14:53for the people
14:53who would believe
14:55say
14:57sufficient
14:58is Allah
14:58as a witness
14:59between me
15:00and you
15:01he knows
15:02all that lies
15:03in the heavens
15:03and on the earth
15:05and lost
15:06are those
15:06who believe
15:07in falsehood
15:08and disbelieve
15:09in Allah
15:09they demand
15:11you to
15:12precipitate
15:12the sign
15:13of their punishment
15:14had not
15:15their term
15:16been stated
15:17as a respite
15:18to mend
15:19their evil ways

15:46come upon
