30:4In a few years. The matter is up to God, in the past, and in the future. On that day, the believers will rejoice.

30:8Do they not reflect within themselves? God did not create the heavens and the earth, and what is between them, except with reason, and for a specific duration. But most people, regarding meeting their Lord, are disbelievers.

30:9Have they not travelled the earth and seen how those before them ended up? They were more powerful than them, and they cultivated the land and developed it more than they developed it, and their messengers came to them with clear signs. God would never wrong them, but they used to wrong themselves.

30:10Then, evil was the end of those who committed evil. That is because they rejected God’s revelations, and used to ridicule them.

30:11God originates creation, and then repeats it. Then to Him you will be returned.

30:12On the Day when the Hour takes place, the guilty will despair.

30:13They will have no intercessors from among their idols, and they will disown their partners.

30:14On the Day when the Hour takes place—on that Day they will separate.

30:18His is the praise in the heavens and on earth, and in the evening, and when you reach midday.

30:21And of His signs is that He created for you mates from among yourselves, so that you may find tranquility in them; and He planted love and compassion between you. In this are signs for people who reflect.

30:22And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your languages and colors. In this are signs for those who know.

30:25And of His signs is that the heaven and the earth stand at His disposal. And then, when He calls you out of the earth, you will emerge at once.

30:26To Him belongs everyone in the heavens and the earth. All are submissive to Him.

30:27It is He who initiates creation, and then repeats it, something easy for Him. His is the highest attribute, in the heavens and the earth. He is the Almighty, the Wise.

30:28He illustrates an example for you, from your own selves: do you make your servants full partners in the wealth We have given you? Do you revere them as you revere one another? We thus explain the revelations for a people who understand.

30:29Yet the wrongdoers follow their desires without knowledge. But who can guide whom God leaves astray? They will have no helpers.

30:30So devote yourself to the religion of monotheism—the natural instinct God has instilled in mankind. There is no altering God’s creation. This is the true religion, but most people do not know.

30:31Turning towards Him—and be conscious of Him, and perform the prayer, and do not be of the idolaters.

30:32Of those who divided their religion, and became sects; each faction pleased with what they have.

30:33When affliction touches the people, they call on their Lord, turning to Him in repentance. But then, when He gives them a taste of His mercy, some of them attribute partners to their Lord.

30:37Do they not see that God expands the provision for whomever He wills, or restricts it? Surely in this are signs for people who believe.

30:41Corruption has appeared on land and sea, because of what people’s hands have earned, in order to make them taste some of what they have done, so that they might return.

30:43So devote yourself to the upright religion, before there comes from God a Day that cannot be averted. On that Day, they will be shocked.

30:44Whoever disbelieves, upon him falls his disbelief. And whoever acts righteously—they are preparing for themselves.

30:45So that He may reward those who have believed and done the righteous deeds out of His bounty. Indeed, He does not love the ungrateful.

30:47Before you, We sent messengers to their people. They came to them with clear proofs. Then We took revenge on those who sinned. It is incumbent on Us to help the believers.

30:48God is He who sends the winds. They stir up clouds. Then He spreads them in the sky as He wills. And He breaks them apart. Then you see rain drops issuing from their midst. Then, when He makes it fall upon whom He wills of His servants, behold, they rejoice.

30:49Although they were before this—before it was sent down upon them—in despair.

30:51But if We send a wind, and they see it turning things yellow, they would continue thereafter to disbelieve.

30:53Nor can you guide the blind out of their error. You can make hear only those who believe in Our signs, and so have submitted.

30:55On the Day when the Hour takes place, the sinners will swear they had stayed but an hour. Thus they were deluded.

30:56But those endowed with knowledge and faith will say, “You remained in God’s Book until the Day of Resurrection. This is the Day of Resurrection, but you did not know.”

30:57On that Day, the sinners’ excuses will not benefit them, nor will they be excused.
