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.

30:19He 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.

30:21And 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.

30:23And of His signs are your sleep by night and day, and your pursuit of His bounty. In this are signs for people who listen.

30:24And of His signs is that He shows you the lightning, causing fear and hope. And He brings down water from the sky, and with it He revives the earth after it was dead. In this are signs for people who understand.

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.

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

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

30:34To show ingratitude for what We have given them. Indulge yourselves—you will surely know.

30:35Have We sent down to them any authority, which speaks in support of their idols?

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.

30:39The usury you practice, seeking thereby to multiply people’s wealth, will not multiply with God. But what you give in charity, desiring God’s approval—these are the multipliers.

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.

30:50So observe the effects of God’s mercy—how He revives the earth after it was dead. Indeed, He is the Reviver of the dead. He is Capable of everything.

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.

30:56But 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.

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.
