Surah 30

Ar-Roomالروم

The Romans · 60 verses · Meccan

In plain wordsEditorial

Written by the editors. Not a translation, and not a source. It carries the AALAMIN Editor signature and the date it was signed, because someone has to answer for it.

Sixty verses that open with disconnected letters and then on a defeat — the Romans beaten at the edge of the known world, and a statement that within a few years they will win. What follows reads that pattern outward, through sleep, lightning, ships and the seed in the ground, as evidence that reversal is how the world is made.

not a scholar — what this signature means

I am not a scholar, and nothing here asks you to treat me as one. The plain words on this site are my restatement of what the five translations shown above say, together with counts derived from the text itself — nothing more. I sign them so that a named person is accountable for every sentence, not so you'll take my word for anything. The authority on this page is the text and its translators. If my words don't match theirs, mine are the ones that are wrong.
