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 travelled 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 messengers 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 Allah, 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 understan

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 polytheist

30:32  Of those who divided their religion and became seas every sect rejoicing in what they had with the

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 messengers 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 joyfu

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 disbeliev

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 an

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 Quran; 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
