SURAH
AR-RUM
Allah in the name of The Most Affectionate, the Merciful.
1. Alif Lam Mim.
2. The Romans have been subdued.
3. In the nearby land and after their subjugation they will
soon overcome.
4. In a few years. The command is of Allah only before and
after. And on that day the believers shall rejoice.
5. With the help of Allah, He helps whom He pleases. And
He is the Mighty, the Merciful.
6. This is the promise of Allah, Allah breaks not His promise,
but most of the people know not.
7. They know only the outer appearance of the worldly life,
and they are fully unaware of the Hereafter.
8. Have they-not pondered within themselves? Allah has not
created the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them
but with truth and for an appointed term. And undoubtedly, most
of the people are deniers of the meeting with their Lord.
9. And have they not traveled in the land so that they might
see how was the end of those before them? They were more powerful
than these, and they tilled the soil and populated it. And their
Messengers brought to them bright signs. Then it was not befitting
to the dignity of Allah Who would oppress them; yes they used
to oppress themselves.
10. Then the end of those who committed evil to their limit
was this that they began to belie the signs of Allah and to
mock at them.
11. Allah Creates for the first time then He shall make
for the second time, then you shall be returned to Him.
12. And the day when the Hour shall be established the culprits
shall despair.
13. And their associates shall not be their intercessors
and they will deny their associates.
14. And the day when the Hour shall be established the day
they will be separated.
15. Then those who believed and did good deeds, they shall
be entertained in the flowerbed of the garden.
16. And those who became infidels and belied Our signs and
the meeting of the Hereafter, they shall be brought into the
torment.
17. Therefore, glorify Allah when you enter the evening
and when you enter the morning.
18. And His is praise in the heavens and in the earth, and
at little before the setting of sun and when you enter the noon.
19. He brings forth the living from the dead and brings
forth the dead from the living, and gives life to the earth
after its death. And in like manner you shall be brought forth.
20. And of His signs is this that He created you from dust,
then henceforth you are human beings scattered in the world.
21. And of His signs is that He created for you from among
yourselves couple that you may find repose in them and He put
love and mercy between you. No doubt, in it are signs for a
people who ponder.
22. And of His signs is the creation of heavens and earth,
and the diversity of your tongues and colours. No doubt, in
it are signs for those who hear.
23. And of His signs is your sleeping by night and day and
your seeking of His bounty. No doubt, in it are signs for those
who hear.
24. And of His signs is that He shows you lightening frightening
you and making you hopeful and sends down water from the heaven
and gives life therewith the earth after its death. No doubt,
in it are signs for a people of understanding.
25. And of His signs is that the heaven and the earth stand
firm by His command. Then when He will call you from the earth,
henceforth you will come out.
26. And to Him belongs whosoever is in the heavens and the
earth. All are under His command.
27. And He it is, Who makes first, then He will make it
for the second time, and it should be most easy for Him in your
understanding. And for Him is the, most exalted state in the
heavens and in the earth and He is the Honorable, the Wise.
28. He narrates for you an example from your own conditions.
Are some of your servants the possession of your hand partners
in what We have provided for you so that you all become equal
therein, you fear them as you fear each other? Thus do We explain
the detail signs for a people who understand.
29. Nay! the unjust followed their own desires without knowledge.
Then who will guide him whom Allah has led astray. And they
have no helpers.
30. Therefore, set right your face for the obedience of
Allah being one devoted to Him only. The established pattern
of Allah upon which He has created mankind. No change in the
created things of Allah. This is the only right religion. But
most of the people know not.
31. Turning to Him in repentance and fear Him and establish
prayer and be not of the associaters.
32. Of those who have split up their religion and have become
many groups. Every group is happy over what they have.
33. And when any hurt touches mankind, they call their Lord,
turning towards Him, then when He lets them taste mercy from
Him, henceforth, a group of them use to associate partners with
their Lord.
34. That they may be ungrateful for what We have given them.
So enjoy then, now soon you are to know.
35. Or have We sent down any authority upon them that it
is speaking of them as Our associaters?
36. And when We cause mankind to taste of mercy, they rejoice
in it. And if any evil befalls them, the recompense of what
their hands have sent forth, hence they despair.
37. Have they not seen that Allah expands the provision
for whomsoever He pleases, and straitens for whomsoever He pleases?
Undoubtedly, in it there are signs for the believers.
38. Therefore, give the kinsman his due and the needy and
the wayfarer. This is better for those who seek the pleasure
of Allah and it is they who became prosperous.
39. And whatever you give to take back more that it may
increase the wealth of the givers, then it will not increase
with Allah, and whatever you give as charity desiring Allah's
pleasure, then those have two fold increase.
40. Allah is He Who created you then provided for you, then
He will cause you to die, and then He will give you life. Is
there any such of your associates who may do any of these things?
Glorified and Exalted is He above from what they associate.
41. The mischief has appeared in the land and sea, because
of the evils earned by the hands of men, so that He may make
them taste some of their doings, that haply they may turn back.
42. Say you, travel in the land and see what was the end
of those before you. Most of them were associators.
43. Therefore, set your face right for the prayer before
there comes a day, which is not to be averted from Allah, on
that day they shall be divided.
44. Whoso commits infidelity, the burden of his disbelief
is on him and those who do good, they are preparing for themselves.
45. In order that He may reward those who have believed
and have done good deeds out of His grace. Undoubtedly He loves
not the infidels.
46. And of His signs is that He sends the winds as bearers
of glad tidings and in order that He may cause you to taste
of His mercy and that the ship may sail with His command and
that you seek His grace and that you may be grateful.
47. And undoubtedly, We sent so many Messengers before you,
towards their people and they brought them open signs, then
We took vengeance from the culprits. And it is on Our grace
binding to help the Muslims.
48. Allah is He Who sends the winds that lift the clouds,
then He spreads it in the sky as He pleases, and breaks its
into fragments, then you see the rain is pouring from its midst.
Then when He causes it to reach on whom He pleases of His bondmen,
Lo! they rejoice.
49. Though before it was sent down upon them, they had shattered
their hopes.
50. Look then the effects of the mercy of Allah, how He
gives life to the earth after its death, no doubt, He will give
life to the dead, and He can do everything.
51. And if We send any wind by which they see their harvest
yellow, then they would certainly thereafter Continue to he
ungrateful.
52. Therefore you make not the dead to hear nor you make
the deaf to hear the call when they turn away showing their
backs.
53. And nor you guide the blind from their error. You make
only those to hear who believe in Our signs and they have already
surrendered.
54. Allah is He who made you weak in the beginning, then
He gave you strength after weakness, then after strength caused
weakness and old age. He makes what he likes. He is the Knowing,
the Authoritative.
55. And the day when the Hour shall be established, the
culprits will swear, that they tarried not but an hour. Thus,
they were turned down.
56. And those who were given knowledge and faith said, 'undoubtedly,
you have tarried according to the writing of Allah, until the
Day of Rising up. This then is Day of Rising up but you did
not know.
57. Therefore on that day, their excuses shall not benefit
the oppressors, nor will any one demand them to please Allah.
58. And undoubtedly, We have set in this Quran every kind
of examples for the people. If you bring them any sign, the
infidels would certainly say then, 'you are not but on falsehood'.
59. Thus does Allah seal the hearts of those who do not
know.
60. Therefore have patience undoubtedly, the promise of
Allah is true, and let not those who have no conviction make
you light.
