30-1. That is, turn away from these polytheists and continue the work of preaching and invitation in your own manner, and follow what is revealed to you. As it is said in another place, "اتبع ما اوحی الیک من ربک لا الہ الا ہو واعرض عن المشرکین" — Remain steadfast on the way that has been revealed to you from your Lord; there is no one worthy of worship except Allah, and do not pay attention to the polytheists.

30-2. That is, regarding Allah's promise — when will it be fulfilled and when will He grant you dominance over your opponents? Surely, it will definitely be fulfilled.

30-3. That is, the disbelievers are waiting, perhaps this Prophet will himself fall into misfortune and his call will come to an end. But the world saw that Allah fulfilled the promises made to His Prophet, and He humiliated the opponents who were waiting for his downfall, or made them his slaves.
