1. The Romans have been defeated.
2. In the nearest land (Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and Palestine), and they, after their defeat, will be victorious.
3. Within three to nine years.
4. The decision of the matter, before and after (these events) is only with Allâh, (before the defeat of the Romans by the Persians, and after the defeat of the Persians by the Romans).
