Quran Surah 30 - Ar-Rum (The Romans)
Ayat 1 - ALIF LAM MIM.
Ayat 2 - The Romans have been conquered
Ayat 3 - In the neighbouring land. But having been
conquered they will conquer
Ayat 4 - In a few years (less than ten). God´s is the
imperative first and last. On that day the believers will rejoice
Ayat 5 - In the help of God. He helps whom He will;
He is all-mighty, ever-merciful.
Ayat 6 - It is a promise of God; and God does not go
back on His promise. Yet most men do not understand:
Ayat 7 - They only know the palpable life of this
world, and are oblivious of the Hereafter.
Ayat 8 - Do they not think for themselves that God
did not create the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them without reason and a determined purpose? But many men
reject the meeting with their Lord.
Ayat 9 - Have they not travelled on the earth and
seen how the others before them had met their end? They were far more powerful than them, furrowed the earth and colonised it
far more than they; and their apostles came to them with visible signs. It was surely not for God to wrong them, they wronged
themselves.
Ayat 10 - Therefore evil was the end of those who did
evil, for they denied the signs of God and made fun of them.
Ayat 11 - God originates creation, and then will
revert it, then you will go back to Him.
Ayat 12 - The day the Resurrection comes the sinners
will be overwhelmed with despair.
Ayat 13 - No intercessor will they have among those
they associated (with God), and will reject their partners.
Ayat 14 - The day the Hour comes they will be
separated into categories.
Ayat 15 - Those who believed and did the right will
be feasted in a rich, well-watered meadow.
Ayat 16 - Those who did not believe and rejected Our
signs and the meeting in the Hereafter, will be given over to punishment.
Ayat 17 - So extol God when the evening comes and the
day dawns,
Ayat 18 - For His is the praise in the heavens and
the earth, -- and at nightfall and the time of noon.
Ayat 19 - He brings the living from the dead, the
dead from the living, and quickens the earth after it had died. So will you be brought forth (from the dead).
Ayat 20 - Among His signs is that He created you from
the earth, and you are now human beings dispersed everywhere.
Ayat 21 - Another of His signs is that He created
mates of your own kind of yourselves so that you may get peace of mind from them, and has put love and compassion between you.
Verily there are signs in this for those who reflect.
Ayat 22 - Among other signs of His is the creation of
the heavens and the earth, and the variety of your tongues and complexions. Surely there are signs in this for those who
understand.
Ayat 23 - Another of His signs is the night, a time
for you to sleep, and the day to seek His bounty. Verily there are signs in this for those who pay heed.
Ayat 24 - Another of His signs is the lightning He
shows to fill you both with dread and hope, and the water He sends down from the sky which reawakens the earth that was dead.
There are indeed signs in this for those who have sense.
Ayat 25 - Another of His signs is that the heavens
and the earth stay in position by His command; and then when He will call you once you will come out of the earth.
Ayat 26 - All those who are in the heavens and the
earth are His, and they are all obedient to Him.
Ayat 27 - It is He who first creates and then reverts
it. This is how His law works inevitably. His semblance is of the most sublime in the heavens and the earth. He is all-mighty
and all-wise.
Ayat 28 - He gives you an example from your own life:
Do you possess among your dependants any partners in what We have bestowed on you, so that you and they have equal (share) in
it, and that you fear them as you fear each other? That is how We explain Our signs clearly for those who comprehend.
Ayat 29 - And yet the wicked follow their own lusts
without understanding. Who can show the way to those whom God allows to go astray? None will they have to help them.
Ayat 30 - So keep yourself exclusively on the true
way, the creational law of God according to which He created man with the quality of choosing right or wrong. There is no
altering of God´s creation. This is the supreme law. But most men do not understand.
Ayat 31 - Turn towards Him and be dutiful to Him; be
firm in devotion, and do not become an idolater,
Ayat 32 - (Or) one of those who created rifts in
their order and are divided into sects, with each group exulting in what it has (carved out for itself) --
Ayat 33 - When misfortune befalls men they pray to
their Lord and turn to Him; but afterwards when He has given them a taste of His benevolence a section of them begins to
ascribe compeers to their Lord
Ayat 34 - So as to deny what We have given them.
Please yourselves for a time; you will come to know soon.
Ayat 35 - Have We sent down a charter to them which
mentions what they associate with Him?
Ayat 36 - When We give men a taste of Our benevolence
they start rejoicing in it. When misfortune befalls them as a result of what they have done themselves, they begin to despair.
Ayat 37 - Do they not see God increases or decreases
the means of whosoever He please? Verily there are signs in this for those who believe.
Ayat 38 - So, give their share to the relatives, the
needy, and the wayfarers. This is best for those who seek the way that leads to God, and they will be successful.
Ayat 39 - What you give on interest to increase (your
capital) through others´ wealth, does not find increase with God; yet what you give (in alms and charity) with a pure heart,
seeking the way of God, will be doubled.
Ayat 40 - It is God who created you, then gave you
sustenance, then He will make you die, and bring you back to life. Is there one among those you associate with Him who can do
the least of these things? Too high and exalted is He for what they associate with Him!
Ayat 41 - Corruption has spread over land and sea
from what men have done themselves that they may taste a little of what they have done: They may haply come back (to the right
path).
Ayat 42 - Say: "Travel on the earth and see how came
the end of those before you." Most of them were idolaters.
Ayat 43 - So set your face towards the straight path
before the day arrives from God which is irreversible. Men will be segregated on that day.
Ayat 44 - So that he who disbelieves will bear the
consequence of his unbelief; and he who does the right will straighten out the way for himself,
Ayat 45 - So that God may reward those who believed
and did what was good, by His grace. Surely He does not love unbelievers.
Ayat 46 - Among His signs are the breezes He sends as
harbingers of happy news, so that He may allow you to taste of His mercy, and that ships may sail by His command, and you may
seek of His bounty, and may haply be grateful.
Ayat 47 - Verily We sent many apostles before you to
their people, who brought clear signs with them. Then We retributed those who were sinful. It is a duty incumbent on Us to help
the believers.
Ayat 48 - It is God who sends the breezes that raise
clouds, then spreads them over the sky as He please, fold on fold, then you see the drops of rain issue from between them. When
He sends it down to those of His creatures as He will, they are filled with joy,
Ayat 49 - Although before it came down they were
despondent.
Ayat 50 - So consider the signs of His benevolence:
How He quickens the earth after it had become waste. He is verily the one who will raise the dead. He has power over
everything.
Ayat 51 - If We send a (blighting) wind and they see
(the earth) seared autumnal, they would surely become ungrateful.
Ayat 52 - You cannot make the dead to listen nor the
deaf hear the call when they have turned back and retreated,
Ayat 53 - Nor can you make the blind see the way when
they have gone astray. You can make none hear except those who believe Our signs and have come to submission.
Ayat 54 - It is God who created you of weakness, then
after weakness gave you strength, then after strength will give you weakness and grey hair. Surely He makes whatever He wills.
He is all-knowing and all-powerful.
Ayat 55 - The day Resurrection is set the sinners
will swear: "We did not tarry more than an hour (and cannot be guilty)." That is how they have always been deceived.
Ayat 56 - But those who were given the knowledge and
belief will say: "You have tarried, according to the Book of God, as long as the Day of Resurrection, and this is the Day of
Resurrection, but ´you do not know."
Ayat 57 - Their excuses will be of no avail to the
sinners on that day, and they will not be allowed to beg for favour.
Ayat 58 - We have offered every kind of example here
in this Qur´an to men. Even then if you bring a verse to them, those who disbelieve say: "You are nothing but a liar."
Ayat 59 - That is how God seals the hearts of those
who do not know.
Ayat 60 - So have patience. The promise of God is
surely true; and let not those who do not believe make you relax (your endeavours).
