Ali Unal 30:1

2

The Byzantine Romans have been defeated,

Ali Unal 30:2

3

In the lands close-by, but they, after their defeat, will be victorious

Ali Unal 30:3

4

Within a few (nine) years – to God belongs the command (the absolute judgment and authority) both before and after (any event) – and at the time (when the Romans are victorious), the believers will rejoice,

Ali Unal 30:4

5

Because of God’s help leading them to victory. He helps whom He wills to victory. He is the All-Glorious with irresistible might, the All-Compassionate (especially towards His believing servants).

Ali Unal 30:5

6

(This is) God’s promise. God never fails His promise, but most people do not know this (as they have no true knowledge about God).

Ali Unal 30:6

7

They only know (what reaches to their senses from) the outward aspect of the life of this world, but they are heedless and unaware of (what lies beyond it and) the Hereafter.

Ali Unal 30:7

8

Do they not reflect upon themselves (even once)? God has not created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them save with truth (meaningfully and for definite, wise purposes, and on solid foundations of truth), and for an appointed term. But surely many among the people are in unbelief about the meeting with their Lord.

Ali Unal 30:8

9

Have they never traveled about the earth and seen what was the outcome for those before them (who also obstinately disbelieved in Our signs)? They were greater than them in power. They cultivated the soil and mined it (for minerals and water resources), and built it up more and better than these have done. And in time their Messengers came to them with clear proofs of the truth (which they rejected to their own doom). God would never wrong them, but it was they themselves who were wronging themselves.

Ali Unal 30:9

10

In consequence, the outcome for those who were lost in evil was evil, as they denied God’s Revelations and signs, and were mocking them.

Ali Unal 30:10

11

God originates creation in the first instance, and then reproduces it, (and will bring it back in the Hereafter), and then you will be returned to Him.

Ali Unal 30:11

12

When the Last Hour stands forth and the Judgment is established, the disbelieving criminals will be plunged into despair.

Ali Unal 30:12

13

They will have no intercessors in the beings whom they associate (as partners with God), and they will no longer believe in their being partners with God.

Ali Unal 30:13

14

When the Last Hour stands forth (and the Judgment is established) – on that Day all people will be separated from one another.

Ali Unal 30:14

15

As for those who believe and do good, righteous deeds, they will be honored and made happy in a delightful Garden.

Ali Unal 30:15

16

But those who disbelieve and deny Our Revelations and the final meeting (with Us) in the Hereafter, such will be arraigned for punishment (in Hell).

Ali Unal 30:16

17

So glorify God when you enter the evening and when you enter the morning;

Ali Unal 30:17

18

– And (proclaim that) all praise and gratitude in the heavens and on the earth are for Him – and in the afternoon and when you enter the noon time.

Ali Unal 30:18

19

He brings forth the living out of the dead, and brings the dead out of the living, and revives the earth after its death. It is in the way (that He revives the dead earth that) you will be brought forth from the dead.

Ali Unal 30:19

20

And among His signs is that He created you from earth, and (since) then you have grown into a human population scattered widely.

Ali Unal 30:20

21

And among His signs is that He has created for you, from your selves, mates, that you may incline towards them and find rest in them, and He has engendered love and tenderness between you. Surely in this are signs for people who reflect.

Ali Unal 30:21

22

And among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your languages and colors. Surely in this are signs indeed for people who have knowledge (of the facts in creation and who are free of prejudices).

Ali Unal 30:22

23

And among His signs is your sleeping at night and in the day, and your seeking (livelihoods) out of His bounty. Surely in this are signs for people who listen (to the voice of God’s messages in creation and His provision for itall creatures).

Ali Unal 30:23

24

And among His signs is His displaying before you the lightning, giving rise to both fear (of being struck) and hopeful expectation (of rain), and that He sends down water from the sky, and revives with it the earth after its death. Surely in this are signs for people who use theirwill reason and understand.

Ali Unal 30:24

25

And among His signs is that the heaven and the earth stand firm (subsisting) by His Command. ThenIn the end, when He calls you forth from the earth (with a single, particular summons), then (at once) you will come forth.

Ali Unal 30:25

26

To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on the earth. All are obedient to Him in humble service.

Ali Unal 30:26

27

He it is Who originates creation in the first instance and then reproduces it (in the world) and will bring it back (in the Hereafter): and that (reproduction and bringing back) is easier for Him. Whatever attribute of sublimity there is (like existence, life, power, knowledge, munificence, and might, etc.) in the heavens and the earth, it is His in the highest degree, and He is the All-Glorious with irresistible might, the All-Wise.

Ali Unal 30:27

28

He strikes a parable from your selves: Do you recognize for those, over whom you hold possession and authority (slaves or animals), a share in what We have provided for you, so that you and they have equal shares in it, and do you hold them in fearful respect as you hold each other in fearful respect? Thus We set out in detail the signs (of Our Oneness) for people who will reason and understand.

Ali Unal 30:28

29

No indeed! Those who do (the greatest) wrong (by associating partners with God) follow only their own desires and caprices, without (basing on any) knowledge. Who has power to guide him whom God has led astray (on account of following merely his lusts and fancies)? And such have none to help them (to salvation).

Ali Unal 30:29

30

So set your whole being upon the Religion (of Islam) as one of pure faith (free from unbelief, polytheism, and hypocrisy). This is the original pattern belonging to God on which He has originated humankind. No change can there be in God’s creation. This is the upright, ever-true Religion, but most of the people do not know.

Ali Unal 30:30
