Translation by Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran
Info 1 30:1
Alif-Lãm-Mĩm.
2 30:2
The Romans have been defeated
3 30:3
in a nearby land.1 Yet following their defeat, they will triumph
4 30:4
within three to nine years.1 The ˹whole˺ matter rests with Allah before and after ˹victory˺. And on that day the believers will rejoice
5 30:5
at the victory willed by Allah. He gives victory to whoever He wills. For He is the Almighty, Most Merciful.
6 30:6
˹This is˺ the promise of Allah. ˹And˺ Allah never fails in His promise. But most people do not know.
7 30:7
They ˹only˺ know the worldly affairs of this life, but are ˹totally˺ oblivious to the Hereafter.
8 30:8
Have they not reflected upon their own being? Allah only created the heavens and the earth and everything in between for a purpose and an appointed term. Yet most people are truly in denial of the meeting with their Lord!
9 30:9
Have they not travelled throughout the land to see what was the end of those ˹destroyed˺ before them? They were far superior in might; they cultivated the land and developed it more than these ˹Meccans˺ ever have. Their messengers came to them with clear proofs. Allah would have never wronged them, but it was they who wronged themselves.
10 30:10
Then most evil was the end of the evildoers for denying and mocking the signs of Allah.
