30:2The Romans have been defeated.

30:3In a nearby territory. But following their defeat, they will be victorious.

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.

30:15As for those who believed and did good deeds—they will be delighted in meadows.

30:16But as for those who disbelieved, and rejected Our signs and the encounter of the Hereafter—those will be hauled into the torment.

30:19He brings the living out of the dead, and He brings the dead out of the living, and He revives the land after it had died. Likewise you will be resurrected.

30:20And of His signs is that He created you from dust; and behold, you become humans spreading out.

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.

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

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.

30:36When We give people a taste of mercy, they rejoice in it. But when adversity befalls them, because of what their hands have perpetrated, they begin to despair.

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.

30:38So give the relative his rights, and the destitute, and the wayfarer. That is best for those who seek God’s presence. Those are the prosperous.

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.

30:42Say, “Roam the earth, and observe the fate of those who came before. Most of them were idolaters.”

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.

30:46And of His signs is that He sends the winds bearing good news, to give you a taste of His mercy, and so that the ships may sail by His command, and so that you may seek of His bounty, and so that you may give thanks.

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.

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

30:58We have cited in this Quran for the people every sort of parable. But even if you bring them a miracle, those who disbelieve will say, “You are nothing but fakers.”

30:60So be patient. The promise of God is true. And do not let those who lack certainty belittle you.
