Wa iżā ażaqnan-nāsa roḥmatan fariḥū bihā, wa in tuṣibhum sayyi'atum bimā qoddamat aidīhim iżā hum yaqnaṭūn

36. When We give people a taste of mercy, they rejoice in it. But when adversity befalls them, because of what their hands have perpetrated, they begin to despair.

30:37

اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ وَيَقْدِرُۗ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُّؤْمِنُوْنَ ۝٣٧

38. So give the relative his rights, and the destitute, and the wayfarer. That is best for those who seek Allah’s presence. Those are the prosperous.

30:39

وَمَآ اٰتَيْتُمْ مِّنْ رِّبًا لِّيَرْبُوَا۟ فِيْٓ اَمْوَالِ النَّاسِ فَلَا يَرْبُوْا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ ۚوَمَآ اٰتَيْتُمْ مِّنْ زَكٰوةٍ تُرِيْدُوْنَ وَجْهَ اللّٰهِ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْمُضْعِفُوْنَ ۝٣٩

39. The usury you practice, seeking thereby to multiply people’s wealth, will not multiply with Allah. But what you give in charity, desiring Allah’s approval—these are the multipliers.

30:40

40. Allah is He who created you, then provides for you, then makes you die, then brings you back to life. Can any of your idols do any of that? Glorified is He, and exalted above what they associate.

30:41

ظَهَرَ الْفَسَادُ فِى الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ اَيْدِى النَّاسِ لِيُذِيْقَهُمْ بَعْضَ الَّذِيْ عَمِلُوْا لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُوْنَ ۝٤١

42. Say, “Roam the earth, and observe the fate of those who came before. Most of them were idolaters.”

30:43

فَاَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّيْنِ الْقَيِّمِ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يَّأْتِيَ يَوْمٌ لَّا مَرَدَّ لَهٗ مِنَ اللّٰهِ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ يَّصَّدَّعُوْنَ ۝٤٣

30:44

مَنْ كَفَرَ فَعَلَيْهِ كُفْرُهٗۚ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلِاَنْفُسِهِمْ يَمْهَدُوْنَۙ ۝٤٤

لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖۗ اِنَّهٗ لَا يُحِبُّ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ ۝٤٥

Liyajziyal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣōliḥāti min faḍlih, innahū lā yuḥibbul-kāfirīn

45. So that He may reward those who have believed and done the righteous deeds out of His bounty. Indeed, He does not love the ungrateful.

30:46

وَمِنْ اٰيٰتِهٖٓ اَنْ يُّرْسِلَ الرِّيٰحَ مُبَشِّرٰتٍ وَّلِيُذِيْقَكُمْ مِّنْ رَّحْمَتِهٖ وَلِتَجْرِيَ الْفُلْكُ بِاَمْرِهٖ وَلِتَبْتَغُوْا مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَ ۝٤٦

Wa min āyātihī ay yursilar-riyāḥa mubasysyirōtiw wa liyużīqokum mir roḥmatihī wa litajriyal-fulka bi'amrihī wa litabtaghū min faḍlihī wa la‘allakum tasykurūn

46. And of His signs is that He sends the winds bearing good news, to give you a taste of His mercy, and so that the ships may sail by His command, and so that you may seek of His bounty, and so that you may give thanks.

30:47

وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ رُسُلًا اِلٰى قَوْمِهِمْ فَجَاۤءُوْهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنٰتِ فَانْتَقَمْنَا مِنَ الَّذِيْنَ اَجْرَمُوْاۗ وَكَانَ حَقًّاۖ عَلَيْنَا نَصْرُ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ ۝٤٧

Wa laqod arsalnā min qoblika rusulan ilā qoumihim fajā-ūhum bil-bayyināti fantaqomnā minal-lażīna ajromū, wa kāna ḥaqqon ‘alainā naṣrul-mu'minīn

47. Before you, We sent messengers to their people. They came to them with clear proofs. Then We took revenge on those who sinned. It is incumbent on Us to help the believers.

30:48

اَللّٰهُ الَّذِيْ يُرْسِلُ الرِّيٰحَ فَتُثِيْرُ سَحَابًا فَيَبْسُطُهٗ فِى السَّمَاۤءِ كَيْفَ يَشَاۤءُ وَيَجْعَلُهٗ كِسَفًا فَتَرَى الْوَدْقَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ خِلٰلِهٖۚ فَاِذَآ اَصَابَ بِهٖ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهٖٓ اِذَا هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُوْنَۚ ۝٤٨

Allāhul-lażī yursilur-riyāḥa fatuṡīru saḥāban fayabsuṭuhū fis-samā-i kaifa yasyā-u wa yaj‘aluhū kisafan fatarol-wadqo yakhruju min khilālih, fa'iżā aṣōba bihī may yasyā-u min ‘ibādihī iżā hum yastabsyirūn

48. Allah is He who sends the winds. They stir up clouds. Then He spreads them in the sky as He wills. And He breaks them apart. Then you see raindrops issuing from their midst. Then, when He makes it fall upon whom He wills of His servants, behold, they rejoice.

30:49

وَاِنْ كَانُوْا مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يُّنَزَّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِّنْ قَبْلِهٖ لَمُبْلِسِيْنَۚ ۝٤٩

Wa in kānū min qobli ay yunazzala ‘alaihim min qoblihī lamublisīn

49. Although they were before this—before it was sent down upon them—in despair.

30:50

فَانْظُرْ اِلٰٓى اٰثٰرِ رَحْمَتِ اللّٰهِ كَيْفَ يُحْيِ الْاَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَاۗ اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ لَمُحْيِ الْمَوْتٰىۚ وَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ ۝٥٠

Fanẓur ilā āṡāri roḥmatillāhi kaifa yuḥyil-arḍo ba‘da mautihā, inna żālika lamuḥyil-mautā, wa huwa ‘alā kulli syai'in qodīr

50. So observe the effects of Allah’s mercy—how He revives the earth after it was dead. Indeed, He is the Reviver of the dead. He is Capable of everything.

30:51

وَلَىِٕنْ اَرْسَلْنَا رِيْحًا فَرَاَوْهُ مُصْفَرًّا لَّظَلُّوْا مِنْۢ بَعْدِهٖ يَكْفُرُوْنَ ۝٥١

Wa la'in arsalnā rīḥan faro'auhu muṣfarrol laẓollū mim ba‘dihī yakfurūn

51. But if We send a wind, and they see it turning things yellow, they would continue thereafter to disbelieve.

30:52

فَاِنَّكَ لَا تُسْمِعُ الْمَوْتٰى وَلَا تُسْمِعُ الصُّمَّ الدُّعَاۤءَ اِذَا وَلَّوْا مُدْبِرِيْنَ ۝٥٢

Fa innaka lā tusmi‘ul-mautā wa lā tusmi‘uṣ-ṣummad-du‘ā-a iżā wallau mudbirīn

52. You cannot make the dead hear, nor can you make the deaf hear the call when they turn away.

30:53

وَمَآ اَنْتَ بِهٰدِ الْعُمْيِ عَنْ ضَلٰلَتِهِمْۗ اِنْ تُسْمِعُ اِلَّا مَنْ يُّؤْمِنُ بِاٰيٰتِنَا فَهُمْ مُّسْلِمُوْنَ ࣖ ۝٥٣

Wa mā anta bihādil-‘umyi ‘an ḍolālatihim, in tusmi‘u illā may yu'minu bi'āyātinā fahum muslimūn

53. Nor can you guide the blind out of their error. You can make hear only those who believe in Our signs, and so have submitted.

30:54

اَللّٰهُ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَكُمْ مِّنْ ضَعْفٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ ضَعْفٍ قُوَّةً ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ قُوَّةٍ ضَعْفًا وَّشَيْبَةً ۗيَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاۤءُۚ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيْمُ الْقَدِيْرُ ۝٥٤

Allāhul-lażī kholaqokum min ḍo‘fin ṡumma ja‘ala mim ba‘di ḍo‘fin quwwatan ṡumma ja‘ala mim ba‘di quwwatin ḍo‘faw wa syaibah, yakhluqu mā yasyā', wa huwal-‘alīmul-qodīr

54. Allah is He who created you weak, then after weakness gave you strength, then after strength gave you weakness and gray hair. He creates whatever He wills. He is the Omniscient, the Omnipotent.

30:55

وَيَوْمَ تَقُوْمُ السَّاعَةُ يُقْسِمُ الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ ەۙ مَا لَبِثُوْا غَيْرَ سَاعَةٍ ۗ كَذٰلِكَ كَانُوْا يُؤْفَكُوْنَ ۝٥٥

Wa yauma taqūmus-sā‘atu yuqsimul-mujrimūn, mā labiṡū ghoiro sā‘ah, każālika kānū yu'fakūn

55. On the Day when the Hour takes place, the sinners will swear they had stayed but an hour. Thus they were deluded.

30:56

وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوا الْعِلْمَ وَالْاِيْمَانَ لَقَدْ لَبِثْتُمْ فِيْ كِتٰبِ اللّٰهِ اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْبَعْثِۖ فَهٰذَا يَوْمُ الْبَعْثِ وَلٰكِنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۝٥٦

Wa qōlal-lażīna ūtul-‘ilma wal-īmāna laqod labiṡtum fī kitābillāhi ilā yaumil-ba‘ṡ, fa hāżā yaumul-ba‘ṡi wa lākinnakum kuntum lā ta‘lamūn

56. But those endowed with knowledge and faith will say, “You remained in Allah’s Book until the Day of Resurrection. This is the Day of Resurrection, but you did not know.”

30:57

فَيَوْمَىِٕذٍ لَّا يَنْفَعُ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا مَعْذِرَتُهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُسْتَعْتَبُوْنَ ۝٥٧

Fa yauma'iżil lā yanfa‘ul-lażīna ẓolamū ma‘żirotuhum wa lā hum yusta‘tabūn

57. On that Day, the sinners’ excuses will not benefit them, nor will they be excused.

30:58

وَلَقَدْ ضَرَبْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِيْ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَثَلٍۗ وَلَىِٕنْ جِئْتَهُمْ بِاٰيَةٍ لَّيَقُوْلَنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْٓا اِنْ اَنْتُمْ اِلَّا مُبْطِلُوْنَ ۝٥٨

Wa laqod ḍorobnā lin-nāsi fī hāżal-qur'āni min kulli maṡal, wa la'in ji'tahum bi'āyatil layaqūlannal-lażīna kafarū in antum illā mubṭilūn

58. We have cited in this Quran for the people every sort of parable. But even if you bring them a miracle, those who disbelieve will say, “You are nothing but fakers.”

30:59

كَذٰلِكَ يَطْبَعُ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى قُلُوْبِ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ۝٥٩

Każālika yaṭba‘ullāhu ‘alā qulūbil-lażīna lā ya‘lamūn

59. Allah thus seals the hearts of those who do not know.

30:60

فَاصْبِرْ اِنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَّلَا يَسْتَخِفَّنَّكَ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُوْقِنُوْنَ ࣖ ۝٦٠

Faṣbir inna wa‘dallāhi ḥaqquw wa lā yastakhiffannakal-lażīna lā yūqinūn

60. So be patient. The promise of Allah is true. And do not let those who lack certainty belittle you.
