The Romans

Alif, Lȃm, Mim.

The Romans have been defeated.

After being defeat, in a nearby place they shall be victorious

within a few (three to nine) years. Allah’s is the Command before and after this. On that day the believers will rejoice.

Allah will help with His help whom He wills and He is the Majestic, the Most Merciful (the One Who acts with His Name of the Most Merciful).

(This is) the Promise of Allah! Allah does not break in His Promise, but most of people do not know.

They know the visible part of the life of the world, and they are heedless of the Hereafter.

Do they not reflect in regards to their own souls? Allah created the heavens and the earth and what is between them two only with the truth and for an appointed term. And truly most of the people are deniers of the meeting with their Lord (they indeed disbelieve in having their spirits return to Allah while they are alive).

Do they not travel in the earth and see how the end of those before them was? They were stronger than those in prowess, and they had dug the earth and built upon it more than those have built. Their Messengers had come to them with the clear arguments. Allah was not wronging them, but they were wronging their own souls.

Then terrible was the end of those who did evil, because they refuted the Verses of Allah and used to mock them.

Allah originates the creation, then brings it back (puts it back to its origin). Then to Him you shall be returned.

And on the (Dooms) Day when the Hour is established, the guilty shall be in despair.

And there will be no intercessors for them of those whom they have associated (with Allah) and they shall be deniers of their associates (on that day).

And on the Day when the Hour is established (the Doomsday), they will be divide into groups at that Day of Permission.

But already will be rejoiced (with gift) in the Gardens those, who believe (who are Amenu, who wished to reach spirit Allah while they were living) and those who did righteous deeds (did the soul’s cleansing).

And as to those who disbelieved and belied (rejected) Our Verses and the reaching of the hereafter (denied having their spirits reach Allah while they are living), these shall be made to be ready in the Torment.

So glorify Allah in the evening and in the morning time.

And to Him belongs all praise in the heavens and the earth. At late noon and at midday (glorify Him)!

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 thus shall you be brought forth (from the earth, just like that).

And from His Signs (miracles) that He created you from dust. Then when you become a human, you scatter (on earth as you multiply).

And as of His Signs, He created mates for you from your souls that you may find rest in them. And He put between you love and mercy (compassion). Most surely there are Signs (proofs) in this for a people who reflect.

And it from His Signs that He had created the heavens and the earth and your tongues and colors are different. Most surely there are Signs (proofs) in this for the scholars.

And it from His Signs that you sleep at night and seek His Generosity by day. Most surely there are Signs (proofs) in this for a people who hear.

And it from His Signs that He shows you the lightning for fear and for hope. And sends down water from the sky, hence gives life therewith to the earth after its death. Most surely there are Signs (proofs) in this for a people who use their mind.

And it is from His Signs that the heaven and the earth stand (in balance) by His Command. Then when He calls you with a single call, you will come out from the earth (from your graves).

And His is whosoever is in the heavens and the earth. All are Qanitin (stand in reverence) to Him.

And He it is Who originates the creation, then causes it to return again (brings it back to its original form) and this very is easy for Him. His is the Attribute of Sublimity in the heavens and the earth, and He is the Majestic, the All-Wise (the Owner of Wisdom and Judgment).

He (Allah) gave you an example from your own souls. Do you have partners among those who are in your hands (from among your servants) in what We have given you, and would you be equal with them and honor them as you respect one another? (In the same way, there can be no partners with Allah). This is how We explain the signs to a people who are mindful!

Nay! The tyrants followed their low desires without any knowledge. So who can return (spirit) those whom Allah leaves in Darkness? And for such there are no helpers.

So, establish yourself (your physical body) for the Religion, being a Hanif. Allah (originally) created people on this basis (with the makings of a Hanif). There is no change in Allah's creation. This is a religion that will exist from beginning to end. However, most people do not know.

Turn to Him (wish your spirit to reach Allah while you are living) and become the owners of takwa (spiritual armor) in relation to Him. And keep up the Prayer and (thus) be not of the polytheists,

who are divided in their Religion and became groups, every group rejoicing in what is with have.

And when a calamity touches mankind, they call upon their Lord, turning to Him. Then when He makes them taste Mercy from Him (when He returns their spirit, acting with His Name of the Most Merciful), some of them associate (other things) with their Lord (they get astray after they were in Return).

Let them deny what We have given them, so use of (the goods of earthly life). But they will soon come to know.

Or, have We sent down upon them a proof (the Qur'an), so that speaks to them, to associate partners with Him (Allah)?

And when We make people taste Mercy, they rejoice (they get spoiled) in it and if an evil befalls them for what their hands have done, they are in despair!

Did they not see that Allah enlarges the provision for whom He wills and restricts (it for whom He wills)? Most surely there are Signs in this for a people who believe.

So, give to your relatives, and the poor, and travellers what is rightfully theirs. This is better for those who desire Allah (who wish to return the spirit of Allah). And these it is who have gained Salvation!

And whatever you lay out as usury in order that it may increase on people’s property (Dhikr you do without wishing to reach Allah while you are living), it shall not increase before Allah (it does not bring the ghts in to your souls hearts and does not increase them). Whatever you give in alms do praise), desiring Allah (wishing to return the spirit of Allah), it is these that shall get manifold (increase the lights in the souls’ hearts).

Allah is He Who created you, then gave you sustenance (He gave you sustenance in the world’s life and filled your souls’ hearts with lights). Then He will cause you to die, then bring you to life. Is there any of your associates (idols) who does anything of it? Glory be to Him, and exalted be He above what they associate (with Him).

Lawlessness has appeared in the land and the sea because of what the hands of the mankind have earned, that He may make them taste a part of that which they have done, so that they may return (turn to Allah)

Say: “Travel in the earth and see what was the end of those before. Most of them were polytheists”.

So, establish your body for the everlasting Religion, before that inevitable (the Doomsday) day comes from Allah. On the Day of Permission, they will be divided into groups.

Whoever disbelieves, his disbelief is against him, and whoever does righteous deeds (does the soul’s purification), they make so preparations for their own souls.

This is in order to reward from His Generosity (light) those who became believe (amenu, which wished to return the spirit of Allah) and perform a righteous deed (purify their soul’s hearts). Surely, He does not love the disbelievers!

And it is from His Signs that He sends forth the winds bearing good tidings, and He to give you a taste of His Mercy (light), and so that ships sail at His Command, and that you desire from His Generosity (light), and that you may be grateful.

And I swear, We sent before you Messengers to their nation, so they came to them with the clear arguments (proofs). Then We took vengeance on those who were guilty. Helping the believers has become duty on Us.

Allah is He Who sends forth the winds, so moves the clouds. Then He spreads it forth in the sky as He wills and He breaks it up into pieces then you see the rain coming forth from amongst them. So, He pours it (rain) upon those of His servants whom He wills, then they rejoice.

And they were really in despair before it (the rain) was sent down to them.

Look then at the arts of Allah s Mercy. How He gives life to the earth after its death? Most surely, He is the One who raises the dead and He has Power over all things.

And if We send a wind and they see it (their crop) turn yellow, they would after that certainly continue to deny.

So, surely, you cannot make the dead to hear, you cannot make the deaf to hear the invitation when they turn back and flee.

And you are not to make the blind reach Return (their spirit Allah), saving them from their Darkness. You make to hear only those who believe in Our Verses. Here they are who will become Muslims (those who get submitted to Allah).

Allah is He Who created you from a weak thing (from a drop of seed), then He gave you strength after weakness, then made you weak and old after strength. He creates what He wills, and He is the All-Knowing, the All-Powerful.

And on that Day when the Hour (the Doomsday) is established, the guilty swear (that) they did not stay but an hour (in the graves). This is how they were reversed (from death to life).

And those who are given knowledge and Faith said: ";We swear that you stayed (in the graves) until the Day of Resurrection, which is indicated in the Book of Allah. This is the Day of Resurrection, but you did not know."

Then the tyrants will not profit from their excuses on the Day of of Permission, and they will not be asked to please (Allah).

And certainly We have set forth for mankind every kind of examples in this Qur’an and if you should bring them a Verse (Sign), those who disbelieve certainly say: “You are only those who occupy themselves with falsehood”.

Thus does Allah set a lasting seal on the hearts of those who do not know.

Therefore remain patient, surely the Promise of Allah is true, and let not those who have no certainty (knowledge) drag you into flightiness.
