1 I, Allāh, am the Best Knower. |
2 The Romans are vanquished |
3 In a near land, and they, after their defeat, will gain victory |
4 Within nine years. Allāh’s is the command before and after. And on that day the believers will rejoice |
5 In Allāh’s help. He helps whom He pleases, and He is the Mighty, the Merciful — |
6 (It is) Allāh’s promise! Allāh will not fail in His promise, but most people know not. |
7 They know the outward of this world’s life, but of the Hereafter they are heedless. |
8 Do they not reflect within themselves? Allāh did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them but with truth, and (for) an appointed term. And surely most of the people are deniers of the meeting with their Lord. |
9 Have they not travelled in the earth and seen what was the end of those before them? They were stronger than these in prowess, and dug up the earth, and built on it more than these have built. And their messengers came to them with clear arguments. So it was not Allāh, Who wronged them, but they wronged themselves. |
10 Then evil was the end of those who did evil, because they rejected the messages of Allāh and mocked at them. |
11 Allāh originates the creation, then reproduces it, then to Him you will be returned. |
12 And the day when the Hour comes, the guilty will despair. |
13 And they will have no intercessors from among their associate-gods, and they will deny their associate-gods. |
14 And the day when the Hour comes, that day they will be separated one from the other. |
