Ar-Rum (The Romans)

0-1

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Our Prophet (PBH), through the very first revelation of the Quran, was ordered:
“Recite in the name of your Fosterer…” (Chapter 96: Verse 1) and the name of his and our Fosterer is Allah (SWT), as is evident from the very first verse of the first chapter of the Quran:
“Praise is due only for Allah (SWT), the Fosterer of the worlds”. (Chapter 1: Verse 1)
In view of this order of Allah (SWT), we should recite/read before starting the recitation or reading of the Holy Quran which is a part of the Quran, occurring at the beginning of 113 out of 114 chapters of the Quran and also as part of Chapter 27: Verse 30 of the Quran. Through Chapter 16: Verse 98, Allah Taala further orders:
“So when you recite/read the Quran, seek the protection of Allah from the accursed devil”.
This means that we are required to pray; (Aoozu Billahi min Ash shaitaanir Rajeem) meaning: “I seek the protection of Allah from the accursed devil”, even before reciting or reading: (Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem)

The Romans have been defeated

غُلِبَتِ الرُّومُ

Round about 614 AD Persians had defeated Romans who in 624 AD defeated the Persians. In the same year corresponding to 2 Hijra, Muslims defeated the infidels at Badr. The place where the Romans were defeated is near the Dead sea which is 400 meters below sea level now and 1400 years back it was 700 meters below sea level – the lowest place on earth. In view of this the word ‘Adna’ would mean ‘Lowest’ and not ‘Near’ as many translators have translated because Dead Sea or Jerusalem are by no standard near Makkah or Madina. Pointing out the lowest area on earth 1400 years back, can be done only by the Creator i.e. Allah (SWT) and no human being and the prediction that the Romans will defeat the Persians within years also came true. These are two of the many proofs that the Quran was revealed by Allah (SWT).

in the lowest (part of) the earth {1}, and they will be victorious after their defeat,

فِي أَدْنَى الْأَرْضِ وَهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ غَلَبِهِمْ سَيَغْلِبُونَ

The Lowest Spot on Earth:

The word ‘Adna’ means both nearest as well as lowest. The place of war where the Romans were defeated is by no means near Makkah. Prof. Alison R. Palmer an American geologist pointed out that the place of war referred to in verse No. 3 is in Jerusalem and it is the lowest spot on earth according to the contour map 400 metres below sea level. (This information is given in the video cassette prepared by Qatar Television in association with Department of Quranic Scientific Revelation and Prophetic deeds, presentation by Abdul Majeed Zindani, produced by Ibrahim al Saliti and directed by Muhammed al Fadala, circulated by Commission on Scientific Signs in Quran and Sunnah, Makkah al Mukarramah, Saudi Arabia).

within some years; Allah’s is the command in the past and in the future, and on that day the believers will rejoice

فِي بِضْعِ سِنِينَ ۗ لِلَّهِ الْأَمْرُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَمِنْ بَعْدُ ۚ وَيَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ

with the help of Allah, He helps whom He wills and He is the Mighty, the Merciful.

(It is a) promise of Allah. Allah does not go against His promise, but the majority of human beings does not know.

وَعْدَ اللَّهِ ۖ لَا يُخْلِفُ اللَّهُ وَعْدَهُ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

30-7

They know the superficial (things) of the life of this world and they are unaware about the hereafter.

يَعْلَمُونَ ظَاهِرًا مِنَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ عَنِ الْآخِرَةِ هُمْ غَافِلُونَ

The knowledge of the infidels is superficial, they do not know anything about the hereafter. Allah (SWT) has created the Universe for a fixed period of time for testing human beings 11:7 When earlier generations too failed in this test by denying the messengers of Allah (SWT), they were destroyed.

30-8

Did they not reflect among themselves, (that) Allah has not created the skies and the earth and that which is between them both, but in reality and for an appointed term? But many of the human beings certainly do not believe in the meeting with their Fosterer.

أَوَلَمْ يَتَفَكَّرُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ ۗ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَأَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى ۗ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِنَ النَّاسِ بِلِقَاءِ رَبِّهِمْ لَكَافِرُونَ

30-9

Did they not travel in the earth and see how the end of those before them was (brought about)? They were more severe than them in strength and they dug the earth and built upon it more than these have built upon it. And their messengers came to them with clear proofs, so it was not Allah Who was unjust to them but they were unjust to themselves.

أَوَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَيَنْظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ كَانُوا أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً وَأَثَارُوا الْأَرْضَ وَعَمَرُوهَا أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا عَمَرُوهَا وَجَاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ ۖ فَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلَٰكِنْ كَانُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ

Then evil was the end of those who did evil, because they denied the signs of Allah and they used to mock at them. (R 1)

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَاقِبَةَ الَّذِينَ أَسَاءُوا السُّوأَىٰ أَنْ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ وَكَانُوا بِهَا يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ

Allah begins the creation then He gets it reproduced, then to Him you will be returned.

اللَّهُ يَبْدَأُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ

And on the day the hour of doom will be established, the criminals will be in despair.

وَيَوْمَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ يُبْلِسُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ

Some details of the day of judgment are given.

30-13

And there will be no mediators for them from among their (presumed) partners (of Allah), and they will reject their (presumed) partners (of Allah).

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ مِنْ شُرَكَائِهِمْ شُفَعَاءُ وَكَانُوا بِشُرَكَائِهِمْ كَافِرِينَ

And on the day the hour of doom will be established, on that day they will be divided:

وَيَوْمَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَفَرَّقُونَ

So as for those who believed and did righteous works, they will be made happy in a garden,

فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ فَهُمْ فِي رَوْضَةٍ يُحْبَرُونَ

and as for those who did not believe and denied Our signs and the meeting of the hereafter, those will be made to be present in the punishment.

وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَكَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا وَلِقَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ فَأُولَٰئِكَ فِي الْعَذَابِ مُحْضَرُونَ

So glory be to Allah when you enter the evening and when you enter the morning.

فَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ حِينَ تُمْسُونَ وَحِينَ تُصْبِحُونَ

Allah (SWT) is glorified everywhere, all the time. There also appears to be a hint regarding the timings of Salat.

30-18

And praise is due only for Him (both) in the skies and the earth, and (in) the evening and when you are at midday.

وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَعَشِيًّا وَحِينَ تُظْهِرُونَ

“Same to Verse No.17”

30-19

He brings forth the living from the dead and He brings forth the dead from the living, and He gives life to the earth after its death, and thus you (too) will be brought out (again). (R 2)

يُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَيُخْرِجُ الْمَيِّتَ مِنَ الْحَيِّ وَيُحْيِي الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ تُخْرَجُونَ

Allah (SWT) mentions some of His Attributes and Powers on which people who are learned and who can understand should reflect and obey His orders.
