3
In the nearby land, and after their defeat they will soon be victorious.

Within a few (up to nine) years time; only for Allah is the command, before and after; and the believers will rejoice on that day.
5
With the help of Allah; He helps whomever He wills; and only He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.

The promise of Allah; Allah does not renege on His promise, but most people do not know.
7
They know only the visible worldly life; and are totally neglectful of the Hereafter.
8
Have they not inwardly pondered – that Allah has not created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, except with truth and a fixed term? And indeed many people deny the meeting with their Lord.
9
And did they not travel in the land to see what sort of fate befell those before them? They were stronger than them, and they cultivated the land and inhabited it more than them, and their Noble Messengers came to them with clear proofs; so it did not befit Allah’s Majesty to oppress them, but it was they who used to wrong themselves.

Allah initiates the creation, then will create it again – then it is to Him that you will return.

And those who disbelieved, and denied Our signs and confronting the Hereafter – they will be hauled into the punishment.
17
So proclaim the Purity of Allah when you witness the night and the morning.
18
And only His is the praise in the heavens and the earth – and before the day ends and at noon.
19
He brings forth the living from the dead, and brings forth the dead from the living, and He revives the earth after its death; and this how you will be raised.
20
And among His signs is that He created you from dust, and therefore you are human beings spread in the earth.
21
And among His signs is that He created spouses for you from yourselves for you to gain rest from them, and kept love and mercy between yourselves; indeed in this are signs for the people who ponder.
22
And among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the differences in your languages and colours; indeed in this are signs for people who know.
23
And among His signs is your sleeping during the night and day, and your seeking His munificence; indeed in this are signs for people who heed.
24
And among His signs is that He shows you the lightning, instilling fear and hope, and sends down water from the sky, so revives the earth after its death; indeed in this are signs for people of intellect.
25
And among His signs is that the heavens and the earth remain established by His command; then when He calls you – from the earth – you will thereupon emerge.

This is how We illustrate detailed signs for the people of intellect.
29
Rather the unjust followed their own desires, without knowledge; so who can guide one whom Allah has sent astray? And they do not have supporters.
30
Therefore set your attention for obeying Allah, devoted solely to Him; the foundation set by Allah, upon which He created man; do not change what Allah has created; this is the proper religion – but most people do not know.
