Ar-Rūm

Alif, Lām, Mīm.

The Romans have been defeated

In the nearest land. But they, after their defeat, will be victorious

Within a few years. To Allah belongs the command before and after. And that day the believers will rejoice

In the victory of Allah. He gives victory to whom He wills, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful

Have they not reflected within themselves? Allah has not created the heavens and earth and what is between them except in truth

And among His signs is that He created you from dust

And among His signs is that He created for you mates that you may find tranquillity in them, and He placed between you love and mercy

And among His signs is the creation of the heavens and earth and the diversity of your languages and colours

And among His signs is your sleep by night and day, and your seeking of His bounty

And among His signs is that He shows you the lightning, causing fear and hope, and sends down rain from the sky

And among His signs is that the heavens and earth remain by His command

So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth. [Adhere to] the fiṭrah of Allah upon which He has created all people. No change should there be in the creation of Allah

And whatever you give for interest to increase within the wealth of people will not increase with Allah

Corruption has appeared on land and sea because of what the hands of people have earned

And We have already sent messengers before you to their peoples

So observe the effects of the mercy of Allah — how He gives life to the earth after its lifelessness

It is Allah who created you from weakness, then made after weakness strength

And We have certainly presented to the people in this Qur'an every kind of example

So be patient. Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth. And let not those who are not certain disturb your patience
