English Translation
Here you can read various translations of verse 29
[This is] so that the People of the Scripture may know that they are not able [to obtain] anything from the bounty of Allah and that [all] bounty is in the hand of Allah; He gives it to whom He wills. And Allah is the possessor of great bounty.
That the People of the Book may know that they have no power whatever over the Grace of Allah, that (His) Grace is (entirely) in His Hand, to bestow it on whomsoever He wills. For Allah is the Lord of Grace abounding.
(You should do this) so that the People of the Book know that they have no control over Allah’s Bounty, and that all bounty is in Allah’s Hand; He bestows it on whomsoever He pleases. Allah is the Lord of abounding bounty.
So that the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) may know that they have no power whatsoever over the Grace of Allah, and that (His) Grace is (entirely) in His Hand to bestow it on whomsoever He wills. And Allah is the Owner of Great Bounty.
That the People of the Scripture may know that they control naught of the bounty of Allah, but that the bounty is in Allah’s hand to give to whom He will. And Allah is of Infinite Bounty.
Lest that the Population of the Book (Or: The Family of the Book, i.e., the Jews and Christians) should know that they are able to estimate anything of the Grace of Allah, and that the Grace is in the Hand of Allah; He brings it to whomever He decides; and Allah is The Owner of the magnificent Grace.
The People of the Book should know that they have no power over any of God’s grace and that grace is in the hand of God alone: He gives it to whoever He will. God’s grace is truly immense.
یہ اس لیے کہ اہل کتاب جان لیں کہ اللہ کے فضل کے کسی حصہ پر بھی انہیں اختیار نہیں اور یہ کہ (سارا) فضل اللہ ہی کے ہاتھ ہے وه جسے چاہے دے، اور اللہ ہے ہی بڑے فضل واﻻ
