Khan G:
Waseem Akram:
chapter 30 sura
In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
1. Alif, Lam, Meem.
2. The Romans have been defeated.
3. In a nearby territory. But following their defeat, they will be victorious.
4. In a few years. The matter is up to God, in the past, and in the future. On that day, the believers will rejoice.
5. In God’s support. He supports whomever He wills. He is the Almighty, the Merciful.
6. The promise of God—God never breaks His promise, but most people do not know.
7. They know an outer aspect of the worldly life, but they are heedless of the Hereafter.
8. Do 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.
9. Have 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.
10. Then, evil was the end of those who committed evil. That is because they rejected God’s revelations, and used to ridicule them.
11. God originates creation, and then repeats it. Then to Him you will be returned.
12. On the Day when the Hour takes place, the guilty will despair.
13. They will have no intercessors from among their idols, and they will disown their partners.
14. On the Day when the Hour takes place—on that Day they will separate.
15. As for those who believed and did good deeds—they will be delighted in meadows.
16. But as for those who disbelieved, and rejected Our signs and the encounter of the Hereafter—those will be hauled into the torment.
17. So glorify God when you retire at night, and when you rise in the morning.
18. His is the praise in the heavens and on earth, and in the evening, and when you reach midday.
19. He brings the living out of the dead, and He brings the dead out of the living, and He revives the land after it had died. Likewise you will be resurrected.
20. And of His signs is that He created you from dust; and behold, you become humans spreading out.
21. And of His signs is that He created for you mates from among yourselves, so that you may find tranquility in them; and He planted love and compassion between you. In this are signs for people who reflect.
22. And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your languages and colors. In this are signs for those who know.
23. And of His signs are your sleep by night and day, and your pursuit of His bounty. In this are signs for people who listen.
24. And of His signs is that He shows you the lightning, causing fear and hope. And He brings down water from the sky, and with it He revives the earth after it was dead. In this are signs for people who understand.
25. And of His signs is that the heaven and the earth stand at His disposal. And then, when He calls you out of the earth, you will emerge at once.
26. To Him belongs everyone in the heavens and the earth. All are submissive to Him.
27. It is He who initiates creation, and then repeats it, something easy for Him. His is the highest attribute, in the heavens and the earth. He is the Almighty, the Wise.
28. He illustrates an example for you, from your own selves: do you make your servants full partners in the wealth We have given you? Do you revere them as you revere one another? We thus explain the revelations for a people who understand.
29. Yet the wrongdoers follow their desires without knowledge. But who can guide whom God leaves astray? They will have no helpers.
30. So devote yourself to the religion of monotheism—the natural instinct God has instilled in mankind. There is no altering God’s creation. This is the true religion, but most people do not know.
