11:2  The Roman Empire has been defeated

11:3  in the nearest part of earth; but they will be victors after their defeat,

11:4  in three to ten years. All matters are up to God, in the past and in the future. And on that day the faithful will exult,

11:5  with the help of God. God helps whom God will, and God is almighty, most merciful.

11:6  It is the promise of God: and God does not break a divine promise; though most of humanity does not know.

11:7  They know the externals of the life of the world, but they are heedless of the ultimate end.

11:8  Do they not reflect within their souls? God did not create the heavens and the earth and all that is between them but in the right way and for an appointed term: but most of humanity does not believe in the meeting with their Lord.

11:9  And do they not travel the earth and see how those before them ended up? They were more powerful than these, and tilled the earth, and populated it, more densely than have these. And there came to them Messengers to them with clarifications. And God would

11:10  Then the end of those who did evil was evil, in that they rejected the signs of God and took them for a joke.

11:11  God initiates creation, then repeats it; then to God you are returned.

11:12  And on the day the hour arrives, sinners will be despondent.

11:13  And they will have no intercessors from among their idols, and they will cure these idols of theirs.

11:14  And on the day the hour arrives, on that day they will be divided:

11:15  those who had faith and did good works will be gladdened in a garden;

11:16  while those who disbelieved and repudiated Our signs and the final meeting will be brought to punishment.

11:17  So glorify God as you enter into the evenings and as you enter into the mornings-

11:18  for to God belongs all praise in the heavens and the earth- and at dusk and noontide.

11:19  God brings forth the living from the. dead, and brings forth the dead from the living; and God enlivens the earth after its death: and so will you all be brought forth.

11:20  And among the signs of God is creating you all from dust; and there you are, humankind, propagating widely.

11:21  And among the signs of God is having created for you mates from yourselves that you may feel at home with them, and God put love and kindness among you. Surely in that is a sign for a reflective people.

11:22  And among the signs of od is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages and your complexions. Surely in that is a sign for the knowing.

11:23  And among the signs of God is your sleep by night and by day, and your seeking from the bounty of God. Surely in that is a sign for a people who hear.

11:24  And among the signs of God is showing you lightning, occasion for fear and for hope; and God sends water down from the sky. enlivening the earth after it has died. Surely in that is a sign for an intelligent people.

11:25  And among the signs of God is that sky and earth stand by divine decree. Then when God calls you with a call from earth, you will all come forth.

11:26  To God belongs everyone in the heavens and the earth: all are obedient to God.

11:27  And God it is who begins creation, then repeats it: and that is supremely easy for God. And to God refers the highest ideal in the heavens and the earth: and God is almighty, most wise.

11:28  God gives you an example from your own realm: have you slaves who are partners in what We have provided for you. and you are equals in it, you fearing them as you fear yourselves? Thus do we explain the signs to an understanding people.
