Quran 30:38 (Ayah ar-Rum)
Islam, Quran , , , , , , , ,
So give your close relatives their due, as well as the poor and the ˹needy˺ traveller. That is best for those who seek the pleasure of Allah, and it is they who will be successful. Quran 30:38 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.
فَءَاتِ ذَا ٱلۡقُرۡبَىٰ حَقَّهُۥ وَٱلۡمِسۡكِینَ وَٱبۡنَ ٱلسَّبِیلِۚ ذَ ٰلِكَ خَیۡرࣱ لِّلَّذِینَ یُرِیدُونَ وَجۡهَ ٱللَّهِۖ وَأُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ
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.
پس (اے مومن) رشتہ دار کو اس کا حق دے اور مسکین و مسافر کو (اُس کا حق) یہ طریقہ بہتر ہے اُن لوگوں کے لیے جو اللہ کی خوشنودی چاہتے ہوں، اور وہی فلاح پانے والے ہیں
