بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمـٰنِ الرَّحيمِ الم
Alif. Lam. Meem.
غُلِبَتِ الرّومُ
The Romans have been defeated.
في أَدنَى الأَرضِ وَهُم مِن بَعدِ غَلَبِهِم سَيَغلِبونَ
In the nearest region of the land, and yet, after their defeat, they will be victorious.
في بِضعِ سِنينَ ۗ لِلَّهِ الأَمرُ مِن قَبلُ وَمِن بَعدُ ۚ وَيَومَئِذٍ يَفرَحُ المُؤمِنونَ
Within a few years—to God belongs the command, before and after. And on that day, the believers will rejoice.
بِنَصرِ اللَّهِ ۚ يَنصُرُ مَن يَشاءُ ۖ وَهُوَ العَزيزُ الرَّحيمُ
In the victory of God. He grants victory to whom He wills. He is the Almighty, the Merciful.
وَعدَ اللَّهِ ۖ لا يُخلِفُ اللَّهُ وَعدَهُ وَلـٰكِنَّ أَكثَرَ النّاسِ لا يَعلَمونَ
The promise of God—God never breaks His promise, but most people don’t know.
يَعلَمونَ ظاهِرًا مِنَ الحَياةِ الدُّنيا وَهُم عَنِ الآخِرَةِ هُم غافِلونَ
They know the superficial aspects of this worldly life, but they are oblivious to the Hereafter.
أَوَلَم يَتَفَكَّروا في أَنفُسِهِم ۗ ما خَلَقَ اللَّهُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ وَما بَينَهُما إِلّا بِالحَقِّ وَأَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى ۗ وَإِنَّ كَثيرًا مِنَ النّاسِ بِلِقاءِ رَبِّهِم لَكافِرونَ
Don’t they reflect within themselves? God didn’t create the heavens, the earth, and what’s between them, except with the truth and for a determined term. Yet, many among humankind deny the meeting with their Lord.
