[These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings]. 030:001 Maulana I, Allah, am the Best Knower. 030:001 Pickthal Alif. Lam.

The decision of the matter, before and after (these events) is only with Allah, (before the defeat of Romans by the Persians, and after, i.e. the defeat of the Persians by the Romans). And on that Day, the believers (i.e. Muslims) will rejoice (at the victory given by Allah to the Romans against the Persians), 030:004 Maulana Within nine years. Allah’s is the command before an after. And on that day the believers will rejoice 030:004 Pickthal Within ten years - Allah's is the command in the former case and in the latter - and in that day believers will rejoice 030:004 Rashad Within several years. Such is GOD's decision, both in the first prophecy, and the second.

HE helps whom HE pleases; and HE is the Mighty, the Merciful. 030:005 Yusufali With the help of Allah. He helps whom He will, and He is exalted in might, most merciful. 030:006 030:006 Khan (It is) a Promise of Allah (i.e. Allah will give victory to the Romans against the Persians), and Allah fails not in His Promise, but most of men know not. 030:006 Maulana (It is) Allah’s promise! Allah will not fail in His promise, but most people know not. 030:006 Pickthal It is a promise of Allah. Allah faileth not His promise, but most of mankind know not. 030:006 Rashad Such is GOD's promise - and GOD never breaks His promise - but most people do not know. 030:006 Sarwar This is the promise of God. God does not ignore His promise, but many people do not know. 030:006 Shakir (This is) Allah's promise! Allah will not fail His promise, but most people do not know. 030:006 Sherali ALLAH has made this promise. ALLAH breaks not HIS promise, but most men know not. 030:006 Yusufali (It is) the promise of Allah. Never does Allah depart from His promise: but most men understand not. 030:007 030:007 Khan They know only the outside appearance of the life of the world (i.e. the matters of their livelihood, like irrigating or sowing or reaping, etc.), and they are heedless of the Hereafter. 030:007 Maulana They know the outward of this world’s life, but of the Hereafter they are heedless. 030:007 Pickthal They know only some appearance of the life of the world, and are heedless of the Hereafter. 030:007 Rashad They care only about things of this world that are visible to them, while being totally oblivious to the Hereafter. 030:007 Sarwar They only know the superficial realities of the worldly life and they are unaware of the life to come. 030:007 Shakir They know the outward of this world's life, but of the hereafter they are absolutely heedless. 030:007 Sherali They know only the outer part of the life of this world, and of the Hereafter they are utterly unmindful. 030:007 Yusufali They know but the outer (things) in the life of this world: but of the End of things they are heedless. 030:008 030:008 Khan Do they not think deeply (in their ownselves) about themselves (how Allah created them from nothing, and similarly He will resurrect them)? Allah has created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, except with truth and for an appointed term. And indeed many of mankind deny the Meeting with their Lord. 030:008 Maulana Do they not reflect within themselves? Allah 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. 030:008 Pickthal Have they not pondered upon themselves? Allah created not the heavens and the earth, and that which is between them, save with truth and for a destined end. But truly many of mankind are disbelievers in the meeting with their Lord. 030:008 Rashad Why do they not reflect on themselves? GOD did not create the heavens and the earth, and everything between them, except for a specific purpose, and for a specific life span. However, most people, with regard to meeting their Lord, are disbelievers. 030:008 Sarwar Have they not thought that God has not created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them but for a genuine purpose to exist for an appointed term? Many people do not believe in their meeting with their Lord. 030:008 Shakir Do they not reflect within themselves: Allah did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them two but with truth, and (for) an appointed term? And most surely most of the people are deniers of the meeting of their Lord. 030:008 Sherali Do they not reflect within themselves that ALLAH has not created the heavens and the earth and all that is between the two but in accordance with the requirements of wisdom and for a fixed term? But many among men believe not in the meeting with their Lord. 030:008 Yusufali Do they not reflect in their own minds? Not but for just ends and for a term appointed, did Allah create the heavens and the earth, and all between them: yet are there truly many among men who deny the meeting with their Lord (at the Resurrection)! 030:009 030:009 Khan Do they not travel in the land, and see what was the end of those before them? They were superior to them in strength, and they tilled the earth and populated it in greater numbers than these (pagans) have done, and there came to them their Messengers with clear proofs. Surely, Allah wronged them not, but they used to wrong themselves. 030:009 Maulana 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 Allah, Who wronged them, but they wronged themselves. 030:009 Pickthal Have they not travelled in the land and seen the nature of the consequence for those who were before them? They were stronger than these in power, and they dug the earth and built upon it more than these have built. Messengers of their own came unto them with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty). Surely Allah wronged them not, but they did wrong themselves. 030:009 Rashad Have they not roamed the earth and noted the consequences for those who preceded them? They used to be more powerful, more prosperous, and more productive on earth. Their messengers went to them with clear signs. Consequently, GOD was not the One who wronged them; they are the ones who wronged their own souls. 030:009 Sarwar Have they not travelled through the land to see how terrible was the end of the people who lived before them. The people who lived before them were stronger than them in might, in tilling, and in developing the earth. Our Messengers came to them with clear miracles. God did not do an injustice to them but they wronged themselves. 030:009 Shakir Have they not travelled in the earth and seen how was the end of those before them? They were stronger than these in prowess, and dug up the earth, and built on it in greater abundance than these have built on it, and there came to them their messengers with clear arguments; so it was not beseeming for Allah that He should deal with them unjustly, but they dealt unjustly with their own souls. 030:009 Sherali Have they not traveled in the earth so that they might see how evil was the end of those who were before them? They were stronger than these in power, and they tilled the soil and populated it more and better than these have populated it. And their Messengers came to them with manifest Signs. And ALLAH would not wrong them, but they wronged their own souls. 030:009 Yusufali Do they not travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those before them? They were superior to them in strength: they tilled the soil and populated it in greater numbers than these have done: there came to them their messengers with Clear (Signs). (Which they rejected, to their own destruction): It was not Allah Who wronged them, but they wronged their own souls. 030:010 030:010 Khan Then evil was the end of those who did evil, because they belied the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, Messengers, etc.) of Allah and made mock of them. 030:010 Maulana Then evil was the end of those who did evil, because they rejected the messages of Allah and mocked at them. 030:010 Pickthal Then evil was the consequence to those who dealt in evil, because they denied the revelations of Allah and made a mock of them. 030:010 Rashad The consequences for those who committed evil had to be evil. That is because they rejected GOD's revelations, and ridiculed them. 030:010 Sarwar The end of the evil-doers was terrible, for they had rejected the revelations of God and mocked them. 030:010 Shakir Then evil was the end of those who did evil, because they rejected the communications of Allah and used to mock them. 030:010 Sherali Then evil was the end of those who did evil, because, they rejected the Signs of ALLAH and scoffed at them. 030:010 Yusufali In the long run evil in the extreme will be the End of those who do evil; for that they rejected the Signs of Allah, and held them up to ridicule. 030:011 030:011 Section 2: The two Parties 030:011 Khan Allah (Alone) originates the creation, then He will repeat it, then to Him you will be returned. 030:011 Maulana Allah originates the creation, then reproduces it, then to Him you will be returned. 030:011 Pickthal Allah produceth creation, then He reproduceth it, then unto Him ye will be returned. 030:011 Rashad GOD is the One who initiates the creation and repeats it. Ultimately, you will be returned to Him. 030:011 Sarwar God begins the creation then causes it to turn back and to Him you will all return. 030:011 Shakir Allah originates the creation, then reproduces it, then to Him you shall be brought back. 030:011 Sherali ALLAH originates creation; then HE keeps repeating it; then to HIM shall you be brought back. 030:011 Yusufali It is Allah Who begins (the process of) creation; then repeats it; then shall ye be brought back to Him. 030:012 030:012 Khan And on the Day when the Hour will be established, the Mujrimun (disbelievers, sinners, criminals, polytheists, etc.) will be plunged into destruction with deep regrets, sorrows, and despair. 030:012 Maulana And the day when the Hour comes, the guilty will despair. 030:012 Pickthal And in the day when the Hour riseth the unrighteous will despair. 030:012 Rashad On the Day when the Hour comes to pass, the guilty will be shocked. 030:012 Sarwar On the day when the Hour of Doom comes, the criminals will despair. 030:012 Shakir And at the time when the hour shall come the guilty shall be in despair. 030:012 Sherali And on the day when the Hour will arrive the guilty shall be seized with despair. 030:012 Yusufali On the Day that the Hour will be established, the guilty will be struck dumb with despair. 030:013 030:013 Khan No intercessor will they have from those whom they made equal with Allah (partners i.e. their so-called associate gods), and they will (themselves) reject and deny their partners. 030:013 Maulana And they will have no intercessors from among their associate-gods, and they will deny their associate-gods. 030:013 Pickthal There will be none to intercede for them of those whom they made equal with Allah. And they will reject their partners (whom they ascribed unto Him). 030:013 Rashad Their idols will have no power to intercede on their behalf; on the contrary, they will disown their idols. 030:013 Sarwar None of the idols will intercede for them and they will reject their idols. 030:013 Shakir And they shall not have any intercessors from among their gods they have joined with Allah, and they shall be deniers of their associate-gods. 030:013 Sherali And they shall have no intercessors from among those who they associate with ALLAH; and they will deny those whom they associate with HIM. 030:013 Yusufali No intercessor will they have among their "Partners" and they will (themselves) reject their "Partners". 030:014 030:014 Khan And on the Day when the Hour will be established, that Day shall (all men) be separated (i.e the believers will be separated from the disbelievers). 030:014 Maulana And the day when the Hour comes, that day they will be separated one from the other. 030:014 Pickthal In the day when the Hour cometh, in that day they will be sundered. 030:014 Rashad On the day when the Hour comes to pass, they will part company. 030:014 Sarwar When that day comes, (people) will be separated from one another. 030:014 Shakir And at the time when the hour shall come, at that time they shall become separated one from the other. 030:014 Sherali And on the day when the Hour will arrive - on that day they will become separated from one another. 030:014 Yusufali On the Day that the Hour will be established,- that Day shall (all men) be sorted out. 030:015 030:015 Khan Then as for those who believed (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) and did righteous good deeds, such shall be honoured and made to enjoy luxurious life (forever) in a Garden of delight (Paradise). 030:015 Maulana Then as to those who believed and did good, they will be made happy in a garden. 030:015 Pickthal As for those who believed and did good works, they will be made happy in a Garden. 030:015 Rashad As for those who believe and lead a righteous life, they will be in Paradise, rejoicing. 030:015 Sarwar The righteously striving believers will happily live in paradise. 030:015 Shakir Then as to those who believed and did good, they shall be made happy in a garden. 030:015 Sherali Then those who believed and acted righteously will be honoured and made happy in stately gardens. 030:015 Yusufali Then those who have believed and worked righteous deeds, shall be made happy in a Mead of Delight. 030:016 030:016 Khan And as for those who disbelieved and belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, Allah's Messengers, Resurrection, etc.), and the Meeting of the Hereafter, such shall be brought forth to the torment (in the Hell-fire). 030:016 Maulana And as for those who disbelieved and rejected Our messages and the meeting of the Hereafter, they will be brought to chastisement. 030:016 Pickthal But as for those who disbelieved and denied Our revelations, and denied the meeting of the Hereafter, such will be brought to doom. 030:016 Rashad As for those who disbelieve, and reject our revelations and the meeting of the Hereafter, they will last in the retribution forever. 030:016 Sarwar However, the disbelievers, who called Our revelations and the Day of Judgment lies, will be brought into torment. 030:016 Shakir And as to those who disbelieved and rejected Our communications and the meeting of the hereafter, these shall be brought over to the chastisement. 030:016 Sherali But as for those who disbelieved and rejected Our Signs and the meeting of the Hereafter, these shall be confronted with punishment. 030:016 Yusufali And those who have rejected Faith and falsely denied our Signs and the meeting of the Hereafter,- such shall be brought forth to Punishment. 030:017 030:017 Khan So glorify Allah [above all that (evil) they associate with Him (O believers)], when you come up to the evening [i.e. offer the (Maghrib) sunset and ('Isha') night prayers], and when you enter the morning [i.e offer the (Fajr) morning prayer]. 030:017 Maulana So glory be to Allah when you enter the evening and when you enter the morning. 030:017 Pickthal So glory be to Allah when ye enter the night and when ye enter the morning - 030:017 Rashad Therefore, you shall glorify GOD when you retire at night, and when you rise in the morning. 030:017 Sarwar Glory belongs to God all the time, in the evening and in the morning. 030:017 Shakir Therefore glory be to Allah when you enter upon the time of the evening and when you enter upon the time of the morning. 030:017 Sherali So glorify ALLAH when you enter the evening and when you enter the morning - 030:017 Yusufali So (give) glory to Allah, when ye reach eventide and when ye rise in the morning;

Thus are they ever turned away. 030:055 Pickthal And on the day when the Hour riseth the guilty will vow that they did tarry but an hour - thus were they ever deceived. 030:055 Rashad On the day when the Hour comes to pass, the guilty will swear that they lasted (in this world) only one hour. That is how wrong they were. 030:055 Sarwar On the day when the Hour of Doom comes, the criminals will swear that they have remained (in their graves) for no more than an hour. They had been inventing lies in this way. 030:055 Shakir And at the time when the hour shall come, the guilty shall swear (that) they did not tarry but an hour; thus are they ever turned away. 030:055 Sherali And on the day when the appointed Hour shall arrive, the guilty will swear that they tarried not save a brief period - thus are they turned away from the right path. 030:055 Yusufali On the Day that the Hour (of Reckoning) will be established, the transgressors will swear that they tarried not but an hour: thus were they used to being deluded! 030:056 030:056 Khan And those who have been bestowed with knowledge and faith will say: "Indeed you have stayed according to the Decree of Allah, until the Day of Resurrection, so this is the Day of Resurrection, but you knew not." 030:056 Maulana And those who are given knowledge and faith will say: Certainly you tarried according to the ordinance of Allah till the day of Resurrection -- so this is the day of Resurrection -- but you did not know. 030:056 Pickthal But those to whom knowledge and faith are given will say: The truth is, ye have tarried, by Allah's decree, until the Day of Resurrection.

Yet, no matter what kind of proof you present to the disbelievers, they say, "You are falsifiers." 030:058 Sarwar We have told people various parables in this Quran. Even if you had shown them a miracle, the unbelievers would have said, "You are only the followers of falsehood". 030:058 Shakir And certainly We have set forth for men every kind of example in this Quran; and if you should bring them a communication, those who disbelieve would certainly say: You are naught but false claimants. 030:058 Sherali And, truly, WE have set forth for men in this Qur'an every type of parable, and indeed, if thou bring them a Sign, those who disbelieve will, surely, say, `You are but liars.' 030:058 Yusufali verily We have propounded for men, in this Qur'an every kind of Parable: But if thou bring to them any Sign, the Unbelievers are sure to say, "Ye do nothing but talk vanities.” 030:059 030:059 Khan Thus does Allah seal up the hearts of those who know not [the proofs and evidence of the Oneness of Allah i.e. those who try not to understand true facts that which you (Muhammad SAW) have brought to them]. 030:059 Maulana Thus does Allah seal the hearts of those who know not. 030:059 Pickthal Thus doth Allah seal the hearts of those who know not. 030:059 Rashad GOD thus seals the hearts of those who do not know. 030:059 Sarwar Thus does God seal the hearts of those who do not know. 030:059 Shakir Thus does Allah set a seal on the hearts of those who do not know. 030:059 Sherali Thus does ALLAH seal the hearts of those who have no knowledge. 030:059 Yusufali Thus does Allah seal up the hearts of those who understand not. 030:060 030:060 Khan So be patient (O Muhammad SAW). Verily, the Promise of Allah is true, and let not those who have no certainty of faith, discourage you from conveying Allah's Message (which you are obliged to convey). 030:060 Maulana So be patient; surely the promise of Allah is true; and let not those disquiet thee who have no certainty. 030:060 Pickthal So have patience (O Muhammad)!

The promise of God is certainly true. Let not the faithless make you despair of the promise of God. 030:060 Shakir Therefore be patient; surely the promise of Allah is true and let not those who have no certainty hold you in light estimation. 030:060 Sherali So be thou patient. Surely, the promise of ALLAH is true; and let not those who have no certainty of faith hold thee in light estimation so as to move thee from the stand thou hast taken. 030:060 Yusufali So patiently persevere: for verily the promise of Allah is true: nor let those shake thy firmness, who have (themselves) no certainty of faith.
