In the Name
of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[30.1] Alif
Lam Mim.
[30.2] The
Romans are vanquished,
[30.3] In a
near land, and they, after being vanquished, shall overcome,
[30.4]
Within a few years. Allah's is the command before and after; and on that day the believers
shall rejoice,
[30.5] With
the help of Allah; He helps whom He pleases; and He is the Mighty, the Merciful;
[30.6] (This
is) Allah's promise! Allah will not fail His promise, but most people do not know.
[30.7] They
know the outward of this world's life, but of the hereafter they are absolutely heedless.
[30.8] Do
they not reflect within themselves: Allah did not create the heavens and the earth and
what is between them two but with truth, and (for) an appointed term? And most surely most
of the people are deniers of the meeting of their Lord.
[30.9] Have
they not traveled in the earth and seen how was the end of those before them? They were
stronger than these in prowess, and dug up the earth, and built on it in greater abundance
than these have built on it, and there came to them their apostles with clear arguments;
so it was not beseeming for Allah that He should deal with them unjustly, but they dealt
unjustly with their own souls.
[30.10] Then
evil was the end of those who did evil, because they rejected the communications of Allah
and used to mock them.
[30.11]
Allah originates the creation, then reproduces it, then to Him you shall be brought back.
[30.12] And
at the time when the hour shall come the guilty shall be in despair.
[30.13] And
they shall not have any intercessors from among their gods they have joined with God, and
they shall be deniers of their associate-gods.
[30.14] And
at the time when the hour shall come, at that time they shall become separated one from
the other.
[30.15] Then
as to those who believed and did good, they shall be made happy in a garden.
[30.16] And
as to those who disbelieved and rejected Our communications and the meeting of the
hereafter, these shall be brought over to the chastisement.

[30.17]
Therefore glory be to Allah when you enter upon the time of the evening and when you enter
upon the time of the morning.
[30.18] And
to Him belongs praise in the heavens and the earth, and at nightfall and when you are at
midday.
[30.19] He
brings forth the living from the dead and brings forth the dead from the living, and gives
life to the earth after its death, and thus shall you be brought forth.
[30.20] And
one of His signs is that He created you from dust, then lo! you are mortals (who) scatter.
[30.21] And
one of His signs is that He created mates for you from yourselves that you may find rest
in them, and He put between you love and compassion; most surely there are signs in this
for a people who reflect.
[30.22] And
one of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your
tongues and colors; most surely there are signs in this for the learned.
[30.23] And
one of His signs is your sleeping and your seeking of His grace by night and (by) day;
most surely there are signs in this for a people who would hear.
[30.24] And
one of His signs is that He shows you the lightning for fear and for hope, and sends down
water from the clouds then gives life therewith to the earth after its death; most surely
there are signs in this for a people who understand.
[30.25] And
one of His signs is that the heaven and the earth subsist by His command, then when He
calls you with a (single) call from out of the earth, lo! you come forth.
[30.26] And
His is whosoever is in the heavens and the earth; all are obedient to Him.
[30.27] And
He it is Who originates the creation, then reproduces it, and it is easy to Him; and His
are the most exalted attributes in the heavens and the earth, and He is the Mighty, the
Wise.
[30.28] He
sets forth to you a parable relating to yourselves: Have you among those whom your right
hands possess partners in what We have given you for sustenance, so that with respect to
it you are alike; you fear them as you fear each other? Thus do We make the communications
distinct for a people who understand.
[30.29] Nay!
those who are unjust follow their low desires without any knowledge; so who can guide him
whom Allah makes err? And they shall have no helpers.
[30.30] Then
set your face upright for religion in the right state -- the nature made by Allah in which
He has made men; there is no altering of Allah's creation; that is the right religion, but
most people do not know --
[30.31]
Turning to Him, and be careful of (your duty to) Him and keep up prayer and be not of the
polytheists,
[30.32] Of
those who divided their religion and became sects, every sect rejoicing in what they had
with them.
[30.33] And
when harm afflicts men, they call upon their Lord, turning to Him, then when He makes them
taste of mercy from Him, lo! some of them begin to associate (others) with their Lord,
[30.34] So
as to be ungrateful for what We have given them; but enjoy yourselves (for a while), for
you shall soon come to know.
[30.35] Or,
have We sent down upon them an authority so that it speaks of that which they associate
with Him?
[30.36] And
when We make people taste of mercy they rejoice in it, and if an evil befall them for what
their hands have already wrought, lo! they are in despair.
[30.37] Do
they not see that Allah makes ample provision for whom He pleases, or straitens? Most
surely there are signs in this for a people who believe.
[30.38] Then
give to the near of kin his due, and to the needy and the wayfarer; this is best for those
who desire Allah's pleasure, and these it is who are successful.
[30.39] And
whatever you lay out as usury, so that it may increase in the property of men, it shall
not increase with Allah; and whatever you give in charity, desiring Allah's pleasure -- it
is these (persons) that shall get manifold.
[30.40]
Allah is He Who created you, then gave you sustenance, then He causes you to die, then
brings you to life. Is there any of your associate-gods who does aught of it? Glory be to
Him, and exalted be He above what they associate (with Him).
[30.41]
Corruption has appeared in the land and the sea on account of what the hands of men have
wrought, that He may make them taste a part of that which they have done, so that they may
return.
[30.42] Say:
Travel in the land, then see how was the end of those before; most of them were
polytheists.
[30.43] Then
turn thy face straight to the right religion before there come from Allah the day which
cannot be averted; on that day they shall become separated.
[30.44]
Whoever disbelieves, he shall be responsible for his disbelief, and whoever does good,
they prepare (good) for their own souls,
[30.45] That
He may reward those who believe and do good out of His grace; surely He does not love the
unbelievers.
[30.46] And
one of His signs is that He sends forth the winds bearing good news, and that He may make
your taste of His mercy, and that the ships may run by His command, and that you may seek
of His grace, and that you may be grateful.
[30.47] And
certainly We sent before you apostles to their people, so they came to them with clear
arguments, then We gave the punishment to those who were guilty; and helping the believers
is ever incumbent on Us.
[30.48]
Allah is he Who sends forth the winds so they raise a cloud, then He spreads it forth in
the sky as He pleases, and He breaks it up so that you see the rain coming forth from
inside it; then when He causes it to fall upon whom He pleases of His servants, lo! they
are joyful,
[30.49]
Though they were before this, before it was sent down upon them, confounded in sure
despair.
[30.50] Look
then at the signs of Allah's mercy, how He gives life to the earth after its death, most
surely He will raise the dead to life; and He has power over all things.
[30.51] And
if We send a wind and they see it to be yellow, they would after that certainly continue
to disbelieve.
[30.52] For
surely you cannot, make the dead to hear and you cannot make the deaf to hear the call,
when they turn back and flee.
[30.53] Nor
can you lead away the blind out of their error. You cannot make to hear any but those who
believe in Our communications so they shall submit.
[30.54]
Allah is He Who created you from a state of weakness then He gave strength after weakness,
then ordained weakness and hoary hair after strength; He creates what He pleases, and He
is the Knowing, the Powerful.
[30.55] And
at the time when the hour shall come, the guilty shall swear (that) they did not tarry but
an hour; thus are they ever turned away.
[30.56] And
those who are given knowledge and faith will say: Certainly you tarried according to the
ordinance of Allah till the day of resurrection, so this is the day of resurrection, but
you did not know.
[30.57] But
on that day their excuse shall not profit those who were unjust, nor shall they be
regarded with goodwill.
[30.58] And
certainly We have set forth for men every kind of example in this Qur’an; and if you
should bring them a communication, those who disbelieve would certainly say: You are
naught but false claimants.
[30.59] Thus
does Allah set a seal on the hearts of those who do not know.
[30.60]
Therefore be patient; surely the promise of Allah is true and let not those who have no
certainty hold you in light estimation.
