|---|
| 30:1 | | �Alif �A�, L?m �L�, M?m �M� |
| 30:2 | | The Romans have been defeated |
| 30:3 | | In a near land, but they, after being defeated, will soon be victorious |
| 30:4 | | Within a few years. To Allah belongs 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 victory is ) Allah�s promise! Allah does not fail His promise, but most people do not know |
| 30:7 | | They know (only) the appearance of the life of this world and they are heedless of the Hereafter |
| 30:8 | | Have they not pondered upon themselves? Allah did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them but with truth and (for) an appointed term? And verily most of the people are deniers of the meeting of their Lord (at the Resurrection) |
| 30:9 | | Have they not travelled in the earth and seen how was the end of these before them? They were stronger than them in strength, and they ploughed up the earth and cultivated it more than they themselves have cultivated it; and their messenger came to them with clear proofs (miracles) (which they rejected, to their own destruction); so Allah would never deal with them unjustly, but they dealt unjustly with their own selves |
| 30:10 | | Then evil was the end of those that did evil, for they belied the signs of Allah, and at them they used to mock |
| 30:11 | | Allah originates the creation, then reproduces it, then unto Him you shall be returned |
| 30:12 | | And On the Day when the Hour will come, the guilty shall be in despair |
| 30:13 | | And these shall not be for them any intercessors from among their �partner gods� and they shall disbelieve in their partners |
| 30:14 | | And on the Day when the Hour will come, that Day they shall be divided |
| 30:15 | | And as for those who believed and did righteous deeds, they shall be made happy in a garden (of Paradise) |
| 30:16 | | And as for those who disbelieved and rejected Our signs and the meeting of the Hereafter, those shall be arraigned into the chastisement |
| 30:17 | | So glory be to Allah, when you enter the evening and when you enter 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 dead from the living, and gives life to the earth after its death, and thus shall you bed brought forth |
| 30:20 | | And one of His signs is that He created you from dust, and then, behold, you are human beings scattered (in the world) |
| 30:21 | | And of His signs is that He crated spouses for you from yourselves, that you may repose in them, and He has set between you love and mercy; verily there are signs in this, for a people who reflect |
| 30:22 | | And of his signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variety of your languages and your colours; verily there are signs in this for the learned |
| 30:23 | | And of His signs is your sleeping by night and day and your seeking after His grace; verily there are signs in this for a people who hear |
| 30:24 | | And of His signs is that He shows you the lightning for fear and for hope and that He sends down water from the heaven and gives life therewith to the earth after its death; verily there are signs in this for a people who understand |
| 30:25 | | And of His signs is that the heaven and the earth subsist by His command, then (after your death) when He summons you once (and) suddenly out of the earth, behold, you come forth |
| 30:26 | | To Him belongs every being that is the heavens and the earth; all are subservient unto Him |
| 30:27 | | And He it is Who originates the creation, then He brings it back again, and it is easier for Him (than the first creation), and His is the Sublime Similitude in the heavens and the earth, and He is the Might, 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 explain the signs in detail 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 leaves astray? And they shall have no helpers |
| 30:30 | | So set your face to the religion being upright, the nature (framed) of Allah, in which He has created mankind. There is no altering of Allah�s creation. That is the right religion, but most people do not know |
| 30:31 | | Turn you to Him, and fear Him, and perform the prayer and be not of the idolaters |
| 30:32 | | Of those who split up their religion, and have become sects, every party rejoicing in what is 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, behold, some of them associate partners with their Lord |
| 30:34 | | That they may be ungrateful for what We have given them. �Take your enjoyment, certainly you will soon know� |
| 30:35 | | Or have We sent down any authority upon them, such as it speaks of what they associate with Him |
| 30:36 | | And when We make people taste of mercy they rejoice in it, and if an evil befalls them for what their own hands have forwarded, behold, they despair |
| 30:37 | | Do they not see that Allah enlarges the provision for whomever He pleases and straitens? Verily there are signs in this for a people who believe |
| 30:38 | | So give what is due to kindred, the needy, and the wayfarer, that is best for those who seek the pleasure of Allah, and those are they that are prosperous |
| 30:39 | | And that which you give in present so that it may increase in the property of men it will not increase with Allah, and whatever you give in charity (Zak?t) seeking the pleasure of Allah, it is these (persons) that shall get manifold |
| 30:40 | | Allah is He Who created you, then gave you sustenance, then He shall make you die, then He shall bring you to life; is there any of your associate-gods who does aught of that? Glory be to Him and Exalted High is He far above what they associate (with Him) |
| 30:41 | | Mischief has appeared in the land and the sea because of what the hands of men have wrought, that He may make them taste a part of what they have done, so that they may turn (away from evil) |
| 30:42 | | Say: �Travel in the land, then see how was the end of those before, most of them were polytheists |
| 30:43 | | Then Set your face to the established religion before there comes a day from Allah which cannot be averted; on that day shall become separated |
| 30:44 | | Whoever disbelieves, his unbelief shall be (charged) against him, and whoever does good deed, for their own selves they are preparing |
| 30:45 | | That He may reward those who believe and do righteous deeds out of His Grace, verily He does not love the unbelievers |
| 30:46 | | And among His signs is that He sends forth the winds bearing good tidings (of rain), and that He may make you taste of His mercy, and that the ships may run by His command, and that you may seek (sustenance) of His grace, and that you may be grateful |
| 30:47 | | And We did indeed send, before you, messengers unto their people, and they came to them with clear proofs, then We took vengeance upon those who were guilty, and helping the believers is ever incumbent on Us |
| 30:48 | | It is Allah Who sends forth the winds so they raise a cloud, then He spreads it forth in the sky as He pleases, and breaks it into fragments 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, behold, they rejoice |
| 30:49 | | Although before it was sent down on them before that they had been in despair |
| 30:50 | | Look then at the traces of Allah�s mercy, how He gives life to the earth after its death; verily He is the giver of life to the dead; and He is All-powerful over all things |
| 30:51 | | And if We send a wind (from which) they see (their tilth turned) yellow, they certainly become, thereafter, disbelievers (ungrateful) |
| 30:52 | | For verily you can not make the dead to listen nor can you make the deaf to hear the call, when they turn away backward |
| 30:53 | | Nor can you lead the blind out of their straying. Only those will you make to hear who believe in Our signs and so they submit |
| 30:54 | | Allah is He Who created you out of weakness, then He gave strength after weakness, then after strength He appointed weakness and grey hair; He creates what He pleases, and He is the Knowing, the Powerful |
| 30:55 | | And on the Day that the Hour (of Judgment) will be established, the guilty will swear that they tarried not but an hour; thus were they used to being deluded |
| 30:56 | | And those who have been given knowledge and faith will say (to the guilty); �certainly you have tarried according to Allah�s Book till the Day of Resurrection, so this is the Day of Resurrection, but you did not know� |
| 30:57 | | So on that Day their excuse shall not profit those who did injustice, nor will they be allowed to make amends |
| 30:58 | | And indeed We have set forth for the people in this Qur�?n, every kind of similitude, and if you bring unto them a sign, certainly those who disbelieve will say: �You are naught but follow falsehood� |
| 30:59 | | Thus does Allah set a seal on the hearts of those who do not know |
| 30:60 | | So be patient, verily the promise of Allah is True, and let not those who have no certainty hold you in light estimation |
