Quran 30:33~35 (Ayah ar-Rum)
Islam, Quran , , , , , , , ,
When people are touched with hardship, they cry out to their Lord, turning to Him ˹alone˺. But as soon as He gives them a taste of His mercy, a group of them associates ˹others˺ with their Lord ˹ in worship˺, becoming ungrateful for whatever ˹favours˺ We have given them. So enjoy yourselves, for soon you will know. Or have We sent down to them an authority which attests to what they associate ˹with Him˺? Quran 30:33~35 Surah ar-Rum (The Romans, The Byzantines)
This Surah is named after the ‘Romans’ – The word ‘Roman’ is mentioned only in this Surah in the Qur’an.
There are 60 Ayat in this Surah.
وَإِذَا مَسَّ ٱلنَّاسَ ضُرࣱّ دَعَوۡا۟ رَبَّهُم مُّنِیبِینَ إِلَیۡهِ ثُمَّ إِذَاۤ أَذَاقَهُم مِّنۡهُ رَحۡمَةً إِذَا فَرِیقࣱ مِّنۡهُم بِرَبِّهِمۡ یُشۡرِكُونَ لِیَكۡفُرُوا۟ بِمَاۤ ءَاتَیۡنَـٰهُمۡۚ فَتَمَتَّعُوا۟ فَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ أَمۡ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَیۡهِمۡ سُلۡطَـٰنࣰا فَهُوَ یَتَكَلَّمُ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ یُشۡرِكُونَ
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.
لوگوں کا حال یہ ہے کہ جب انہیں کوئی تکلیف پہنچتی ہے تو اپنے رب کی طرف رجوع کر کے اُسے پکارتے ہیں، پھر جب وہ کچھ اپنی رحمت کا ذائقہ انہیں چکھا دیتا ہے تو یکایک ان میں سے کچھ لوگ شرک کرنے لگتے ہیں تاکہ ہمارے کیے ہوئے احسان کی ناشکری کریں اچھا، مزے کر لو، عنقریب تمہیں معلوم ہو جائے گا کیا ہم نے کوئی سند اور دلیل ان پر نازل کی ہے جو شہادت دیتی ہو اس شرک کی صداقت پر جو یہ کر رہے ہیں؟
