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

30:7They know an outer aspect of the worldly life, but they are heedless of the Hereafter.

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.

30:13They 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.

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

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.

30:33When 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.

30:36When 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.

30:40God is He who created you, then provides for you, then makes you die, then brings you back to life. Can any of your idols do any of that? Glorified is He, and Exalted above what they associate.

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.

30:47Before 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.

30:52You cannot make the dead hear, nor can you make the deaf hear the call when they turn away.

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

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