30:1  Alif. La’am. Mi’em!
30:2  The Romans have been defeated
30:3  In a near land, and they, after their defeat, will become victorious
30:4  In the coming few years. Unto Allâh, belongs the command before and after. On that day the monotheistic believers will rejoice
30:5  In the triumph which Allâh will give them. He gives victory to whom He wills. He is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
30:6  It is a Promise of Allâh. It is impossible for Allâh to break His promise, but most people do lack the knowledge.
30:7  They know (only) what is conspicuous of this ‘worldly life’; and they are inattentive to the ‘Hereafter’.
30:8  Why do they not think carefully about their own selves? Allâh created not the heavens and earth, and that which is between them, except for a certain reason and for an appointed term. Verily most of the people, in (the matter of) meeting with their Lord, are inclined to disbelieve.
30:9  Have they not travelled through the land and seen what was the dreadful outcome of those who were before them? They were more powerful than them. They tilled the land and built on it more than what they, (-the Quraysh Tribe of Mecca), have built on it. Their ‘Messengers’ came to them with the knowledge of truth. (But they gave no credence to their ‘Message', which led into their own destruction). It was not Allâh Who wronged them, but they are the ones who used to wrong themselves.
30:10  Then dreadful was the outcome of those who did evil, because they gave no credence to Our ‘Revelations’ and used to mock at them.
30:11  Allâh originates the creation, then repeats it, then you are destined to return unto Him.
30:12  The Day when the (Inevitable) ‘Hour’ (of Reckoning) comes to pass, the ungodly sinner will remain in a state of despair.
30:13  They will have no intercessors from among those whom they associate with Allâh. Consequently they shall disavow those whom they associate with Allâh.
30:14  The Day when the (Inevitable) ‘Hour’ (of Reckoning) comes to pass is the day when they will be separated.
30:15  Then as for those who adhere firmly to Islamic monotheism and do righteous acts will be delighted in a ‘garden of bliss’.
30:16  On the other hand, those who excessively indulge in disbelief (in Allâh), and deny Our ‘Verses’ and the meeting of the Hereafter, will be brought to doom.
30:17  Therefore, glorify and venerate Allâh when you enter the evening and when you enter the morning.
30:18  Unto Him belong All the praises (& gratitude) in the heavens and on the earth, in the evenings and when you are at noon.
30:19  He brings forth the living from the dead and brings forth the dead from the living. He resuscitates the earth after its death. This is how you will be resurrected.
30:20  (One) of His Signs is this, that He created you from dust, then you became human beings, all scattered abroad.
30:21  (One) of His Signs is this, that He created for you spouses from among yourselves, so as to have tranquility in them, and that He put between you intimacy and compassion. In that, definitely, are signs for people who ruminate (on the supremacy of Allâh).
30:22  (One) of His sings is the creation of the heavens and earth, and the diversity of your tongues and colors. Absolutely, in that are signs for the people who have spiritual gift of knowledge.
30:23  (One) of His sings is that you sleep at night and at daylight, and you strive to obtain of His Bounty. Absolutely, in that are signs for people who hearken.
30:24  (One) of His signs is this, that He shows you the lightning for fear and hope, and sends down water from the cloud, then resuscitates therewith the earth after its death. Absolutely, in that are signs for a people who are capable of perceiving the intended meaning of (His Signs).
30:25  (One) of His signs is this that the heavens and earth will stand fast by His Command, then when He calls you with a (single) call to come forth from the earth. You will immediately come forth.
30:26  Unto Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and on the earth. All are obedient to Him.
30:27  He is the One Who originates the creation, then repeats it. This is easier for Him (to do). His is the most exalted similitude in the heavens and on the earth. He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
30:28  He sets forth to you a similitude of yourselves. Do you have among those whom your right hands possess partners in that which We have bestowed on you, so that you are equal therein, you fear them as you fear each other? This is how We distinctly explain the ‘Revelations’ for a people who are capable of perceiving (the intended meaning of the signs of Allâh).
30:29  Nay, those who are grossly unfair have taken in their self-deceived beliefs for the epistemic without having a reason. Then who can give spiritual insight to the one whom Allâh has made sure he is fooled into believing a lie? For such there will be no helpers.
30:30  Thus, set your face steadily and truly towards the system of faith and worship as a monotheist, (since it is consistent with) the true nature which Allâh has created in the people. The creation of Allâh cannot be altered. This is the upright faith, but most of the people do lack knowledge (of the truth).
30:31  Turn in repentance unto Him, observe all that He has commanded you, establish the regular Prayer, and be not of the Polytheists,
30:32  (Or) of those who split up their religion and become sects, every party rejoicing over what it has.
30:33  When adversity touches the people, they implore their Lord, turning in repentance unto Him. Then when He gives them a taste of His mercy, at once some of them begin to attribute partners to their Lord,
30:34  In order to disbelieve in that which We have granted them. Thus, enjoy yourselves for a while, but you will come to know (the consequences of your heresy).
30:35  Or have We sent down authority to them, which speaks of that which they associate with Him?
30:36  When We let the people taste mercy, they rejoice over it. But if an evil thing befell them because of what their hands have sent forth, they would fall into despair.
30:37  Do they not see that Allâh spreads out sustenance to whom He wills and straitens it? Unquestionably, there are signs in this for people who are inclined to believe in Allâh.
30:38  Therefore, give to the near of kin his right, as well as to the needy and the hopeless wayfarer. That is best for those who seek the Countenance of Allâh. Those are the ones who will ultimately achieve a blissful life/or gain eternal salvation.
30:39  That which you give in usury so as to increase within the wealth of people will not increase with Allâh. But what you give in alms, seeking the countenance of Allâh, (will increase). Those are the ones who will get a recompense multiplied.
30:40  Allâh is the (only) One Who created you, then gave you sustenance; then He causes you to die, then gives life to you again. Is there anyone of your (so-called) partners (of Allâh) that can do any of these things? Exalted is He and high above of what they associate with Him.
30:41  Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea due to what the hands of people have earned, so that He may make them taste part of what they have done, and may give them a chance to quit their perversion.
30:42  Say, (O’ Muhammad), "Travel in the land, then see how dreadful was the end of those before you. Most of them were Polytheists.”
30:43  Thus, set your face steadily and truly towards the upright faith (as a monotheist) before there comes to you from Allâh a day which cannot be averted. On that day, they will be divided.
30:44  Whoever falls into disbelief in Allâh must bear the consequences of his disbelief, while those who do righteous (acts) pave the way (to Al- Jannah) for themselves.
30:45  He will remunerate out of His bounty to those who adhere firmly to Islamic monotheism and do righteous acts. Verily, He demonstrates not his own love for those who lack faith (in Him).
30:46  (One) of His signs is this, that He sends forth the winds as joyful news, making you taste His mercy, allowing the ship to run by His command, so that you may strive to obtain of His bounty, and you may show your gratitude (to Him).
30:47  Indeed, We sent before you ‘Messengers’ to their people. They came to them with the knowledge of truth. We inflicted Our divine retribution upon those who deliberately kept on singing. It is incumbent on Us to grant victory to the the monotheistic believers.
30:48  Allâh is the One Who sends forth the winds so that they raise clouds, then He spreads them along the sky as He wills, and then cause them to break into fragments, and so you behold the rain coming forth from within them. Then when He causes it to fall on whom of His servants as He wills, they regard it as auspicious.
30:49  Nevertheless, they were before this, just before it was sent down upon them, they were in a state of despair.
30:50  Look then at the (positive) effects of the mercy of Allâh, how He resuscitates the earth after its death. Indeed, He is the one who gives life to the dead; and He is the one who is capable of doing whatever He wills.
30:51  If it should happen that We sent a wind and they saw it yellow, they would after that obviously continue to fall into disbelief in Allâh.
30:52  Therefore, you can’t make the dead hear, nor can you make the deaf hear the call, when they go back retreating,
30:53  Nor can you guide the (spiritual) blind out of their error. You can’t make none hear except those who (firmly) believe in Our ‘Revelation’ and delight in submitting (themselves entirely to the authority of Allâh).
30:54  Allâh is the (only) One Who created you from a state of weakness, then gave you strength after weakness, then gave you weakness and gray hair after strength. He creates whatever He wills, and He is the All-Knowing, the All-Powerful.
30:55  On the day when the (Inevitable) ‘Hour’ (of Reckoning) comes to pass, the ungodly sinners will swear that they had not stayed more than an hour. This is how they were deceived into going away from the established course.
30:56  Those who have spiritual gift of knowledge and Faith will say: "Indeed you have stayed according to the ordinance of Allâh until the ‘Day of Resurrection’. Thus, this is the ‘Day of Resurrection’, but you were not to aware.
30:57  So, on that ‘Day’, the excuses of those who were grossly unfair and morally wrong will not benefit them, neither will they be allowed to make amends.
30:58  We have coined for mankind in this Qur'an every kind of parable. If it should happen that you brought to them a Verse, those who excessively indulge in disbelief (in Allâh) would definitely say: "You are but gainsayers."
30:59  This is how Allâh sealed the hearts of those who lack knowledge (of Him).
30:60  Therefore, persist in patience and constancy! The promise of Allâh is absolutely true. Let not those who are deeply skeptical (about the ‘Day of Judgment’) influence you to lose your patience.
