The Byzantines

The Romans have been defeated

30:2The Romans have been defeated

In a nearby land. But after their defeat, they will triumph

30:3In the nearer land, and they, after their defeat will be victorious

Within a few years. The matter belongs to Allah, before and after. And on that day, the believers will rejoice

30:4Within ten years - Allah's is the command in the former case and in the latter - and in that day believers will rejoice

In Allah’s victory. He grants triumph to whom He wills.

30:5In Allah's help to victory. He helpeth to victory whom He will. He is the Mighty, the Merciful.
