بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمـٰنِ الرَّحيمِ الم
Alif, Lam, Meem.
غُلِبَتِ الرّومُ
The Byzantines have been defeated
في أَدنَى الأَرضِ وَهُم مِن بَعدِ غَلَبِهِم سَيَغلِبونَ
In the nearest land. But they, after their defeat, will overcome.
في بِضعِ سِنينَ ۗ لِلَّهِ الأَمرُ مِن قَبلُ وَمِن بَعدُ ۚ وَيَومَئِذٍ يَفرَحُ المُؤمِنونَ
Within three to nine years. To Allah belongs the command before and after. And that day the believers will rejoice
بِنَصرِ اللَّهِ ۚ يَنصُرُ مَن يَشاءُ ۖ وَهُوَ العَزيزُ الرَّحيمُ
In the victory of Allah. He gives victory to whom He wills, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
وَعدَ اللَّهِ ۖ لا يُخلِفُ اللَّهُ وَعدَهُ وَلـٰكِنَّ أَكثَرَ النّاسِ لا يَعلَمونَ
[It is] the promise of Allah. Allah does not fail in His promise, but most of the people do not know.
يَعلَمونَ ظاهِرًا مِنَ الحَياةِ الدُّنيا وَهُم عَنِ الآخِرَةِ هُم غافِلونَ
They know what is apparent of the worldly life, but they, of the Hereafter, are unaware.
أَوَلَم يَتَفَكَّروا في أَنفُسِهِم ۗ ما خَلَقَ اللَّهُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ وَما بَينَهُما إِلّا بِالحَقِّ وَأَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى ۗ وَإِنَّ كَثيرًا مِنَ النّاسِ بِلِقاءِ رَبِّهِم لَكافِرونَ
Do they not contemplate within themselves? Allah has not created the heavens and the earth and what is between them except in truth and for a specified term. And indeed, many of the people, in [the matter of] the meeting with their Lord, are disbelievers.
