Transliteration:( Binasril laa; yansuru mai yashaaa'u wa Huwal 'Azeezur Raheem )
"With the Help of Allah [7]. He helps whom He pleases. And He is the Mighty, the Merciful."
This verse highlights that victory comes only through the help of Allah. It refers to a time when the believers would also gain a victory over the disbelievers, coinciding with the news of the Roman victory over the Persians.
Thus, both events would occur around the same period, bringing double joy to the believers—a personal triumph in battle, and the fulfilment of a divine prophecy regarding the Romans.
The verse ends by affirming that Allah helps whom He wills, and that He is All-Mighty in overpowering His enemies and Most Merciful in rewarding His believing servants.
The tafsir of Surah Ar-Rum verse 5 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Rum ayat 1 which provides the complete commentary from verse 1 through 7.
(30:5) at the victory granted by Allah.[3] He grants victory to whomsoever He pleases. He is the Most Mighty, the Most Compassionate.
3. Ibn Abbas, Abu Said Khudri, Sufyan Thauri, Suddi and others have stated that the Romans’ victory against the Iranians and the Muslims’ victory at Badr against the polytheists took place almost at the same time. The Muslims, therefore, were doubly pleased. The same is supported by the histories of Byzantium and Iran. 624 A.D. is the year in which the Battle of Badr was fought and the same is the year in which the Byzantine Emperor destroyed the birth place of Zoroaster and ravaged the principal fire temple of Iran.
[1141]- i.e., the victory given by Allāh to a people of the Scripture (Christians) over the Magians of Persia.
