(30:4) All power belongs to Allah both before and after.[2] On that day will the believers rejoice

Ala-Maududi

(30:4) All power belongs to Allah both before and after.[2] On that day will the believers rejoice


2. That is, “When the Iranians became victorious first, it did not mean that the Lord of the worlds, God forbid, had been humbled and when the Romans will gain victory afterwards, it will not mean that Allah’s lost kingdom will be restored to Him. Sovereignty in any case belongs to Allah. Allah gave victory to the side that became victorious first, and Allah will give victory to the side that will gain victory after wards. For no one in his Kingdom can achieve domination solely by his own power. He whom He raises, rises and he whom He causes to fall, falls.”

(4) Within three to nine years. To Allāh belongs the command [i.e., decree] before and after. And that day the believers will rejoice
