30.1 . Alif . Lam . Mim .

غُلِبَتِ الرُّومُ   

30.2 . The Romans have been defeated

فِي أَدْنَى الْأَرْضِ وَهُم مِّن بَعْدِ غَلَبِهِمْ سَيَغْلِبُونَ   

30.3 . In the nearer land , and they , after their defeat will be victorious

فِي بِضْعِ سِنِينَ لِلَّهِ الْأَمْرُ مِن قَبْلُ وَمِن بَعْدُ وَيَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ   

30.4 . Within ten years Allah ' s is the command in the former case and in the latter and in that day believers will rejoice

بِنَصْرِ اللَّهِ يَنصُرُ مَن يَشَاءُ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ   

30.5 . In Allah ' s help to victory . He helpeth to victory whom He will . He is the Mighty , the Merciful .

وَعْدَ اللَّهِ لَا يُخْلِفُ اللَّهُ وَعْدَهُ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ   

30.6 . It is a promise of Allah . Allah faileth not His promise , but most of mankind know not .

يَعْلَمُونَ ظَاهِراً مِّنَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ عَنِ الْآخِرَةِ هُمْ غَافِلُونَ   

30.7 . They know only some appearance of the life of the world , and are heedless of the Hereafter .

أَوَلَمْ يَتَفَكَّرُوا فِي أَنفُسِهِمْ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَأَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى وَإِنَّ كَثِيراً مِّنَ النَّاسِ بِلِقَاء رَبِّهِمْ لَكَافِرُونَ   

30.8 . Have they not pondered upon themselves? Allah created not the heavens and the earth , and that which is between them , save with truth and for a destined end . But truly many of mankind are disbelievers in the meeting with their Lord .

أَوَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ كَانُوا أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً وَأَثَارُوا الْأَرْضَ وَعَمَرُوهَا أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا عَمَرُوهَا وَجَاءتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلَكِن كَانُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ   

30.9 . Have they not travelled in the land and seen the nature of the consequence for those who were before them? They were stronger than these in power , and they dug the earth and built Upon it more than these have built . Messengers of their own came unto them with clear proofs ( of Allah ' s Sovereignty ) . Surely Allah wronged them not , but they did wrong themselves .

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَاقِبَةَ الَّذِينَ أَسَاؤُوا السُّوأَى أَن كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ وَكَانُوا بِهَا يَسْتَهْزِئُون   

30.10 . Then evil was the consequence to those who dealt in evil , because they denied the revelations of Allah and made a mock of them .
