Alif, Lam, Meem.
The Romans have been defeated.
In a nearby territory. But following their defeat, they will be victorious.
In a few years. The matter is up to Allah, in the past, and in the future. On that day, the believers will rejoice.
In Allah's support. He supports whomever He wills. He is the Almighty, the Merciful.
The promise of Allah—Allah never breaks His promise, but most people do not know.
They know an outer aspect of the worldly life, but they are heedless of the Hereafter.
Do they not reflect within themselves? Allah did not create the heavens and the earth, and what is between them, except with reason, and for a specific duration. But most people, regarding meeting their Lord, are disbelievers.
Have they not travelled the earth and seen how those before them ended up? They were more powerful than them, and they cultivated the land and developed it more than they developed it, and their messengers came to them with clear signs. Allah would never wrong them, but they used to wrong themselves.
Then, evil was the end of those who committed evil. That is because they rejected Allah's revelations, and used to ridicule them.
