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˺.

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.
