Yet most people are truly in denial of the meeting with their Lord ! — ^{This Surah is named after the ‘Romans’ – The word ‘Roman’ is mentioned only in this Surah in the Qur’an.

یَعۡلَمُونَ ظَـٰهِرࣰا مِّنَ ٱلۡحَیَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡیَا وَهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلۡءَاخِرَةِ هُمۡ غَـٰفِلُونَ

أَوَ لَمۡ یَتَفَكَّرُوا۟ فِیۤ أَنفُسِهِمۗ مَّا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَیۡنَهُمَاۤ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَأَجَلࣲ مُّسَمࣰّىۗ وَإِنَّ كَثِیرࣰا مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِلِقَاۤىِٕ رَبِّهِمۡ لَكَـٰفِرُونَ — ^{The Surah reminds us that Allah is in control of everything.}
^{Those who are short sighted they see only what is apparent but they do not realize that there is a Creator and Master of this whole universe and it is He who is governing everything.}
^{Final decision is in Allah’s hand. The Akhirah will take place and the truth will prevail}

یہ تو دنیا کی ظاہری زندگی
کو جانتے ہیں۔
اور آخرت (کی طرف) سے غافل ہیں

کیا اُنہوں نے اپنے دل میں
غور نہیں کیا۔

کہ خدا نے آسمانوں اور زمین کو اور جو کچھ ان دونوں کے درمیان ہے اُن کو حکمت سے
اور ایک وقت مقرر تک کے لئے پیدا کیا ہے۔

اور بہت سے لوگ اپنے پروردگار سے ملنے کے
قائل ہی نہیں — ^{Sections:
