This worldly life is no more than play and amusement. But the Hereafter is indeed the real life, if only they knew.
          
            29:64
          
        
        
          If they happen to be aboard a ship ˹caught in a storm˺, they cry out to Allah ˹alone˺ in sincere devotion. But as soon as He delivers them ˹safely˺ to shore, they associate ˹others with Him once again˺.
          
            29:65
          
        
        
          So let them be ungrateful for all We have given them, and ˹let them˺ enjoy themselves ˹for now˺! For they will soon know.
          
            29:66
          
        
        
          Have they not seen how We have made ˹Mecca˺ a safe haven, whereas people ˹all˺ around them are snatched away?1 How can they then believe in falsehood2 and deny Allah’s favours?
          
            29:67
          
        
        
          And who does more wrong than those who fabricate lies against Allah or reject the truth after it has reached them? Is Hell not a ˹fitting˺ home for the disbelievers?
          
            29:68
          
        
        
          As for those who struggle in Our cause, We will surely guide them along Our Way. And Allah is certainly with the good-doers.
          
            29:69
          
        
        
          Alif-Lãm-Mĩm.
          
            30:1
          
        
        
          The Romans have been defeated
          
            30:2
          
        
        
          in a nearby land.1 Yet following their defeat, they will triumph
          
            30:3
          
        
        
          within three to nine years.1 The ˹whole˺ matter rests with Allah before and after ˹victory˺. And on that day the believers will rejoice
          
            30:4
          
        
        
          at the victory willed by Allah. He gives victory to whoever He wills. For He is the Almighty, Most Merciful.
          
            30:5
