Surah Ar-Rūm (The Romans) in English

1. وأما الذين كفروا وكذبوا بآياتنا ولقاء الآخرة فأولئك في العذاب محضرون

   16

   But as for those who were faithless and denied Our signs and the encounter of the Hereafter, they will be brought to the punishment.

   wa-ʾammā lladhīna kafarū wa-kadhdhabū bi-ʾāyātinā wa-liqāʾi l-ʾākhirati fa-ʾulāʾika fī l-ʿadhābi muḥḍarūna

2. فسبحان الله حين تمسون وحين تصبحون

   17

   So glorify Allah when you enter evening and when you rise at dawn.

   fa-subḥāna llāhi ḥīna tumsūna wa-ḥīna tuṣbiḥūna

3. وله الحمد في السماوات والأرض وعشيا وحين تظهرون

   18

   To Him belongs all praise in the heavens and the earth, at nightfall and when you enter noontime.

   wa-lahu l-ḥamdu fī s-samāwāti wa-l-ʾarḍi wa-ʿashiyyan wa-ḥīna tuẓhirūna

4. يخرج الحي من الميت ويخرج الميت من الحي ويحيي الأرض بعد موتها وكذلك تخرجون

   19

   He brings forth the living from the dead, and brings forth the dead from the living, and revives the earth after its death. Likewise, you [too] shall be raised [from the dead].

   yukhriju l-ḥayya mina l-mayyiti wa-yukhriju l-mayyita mina l-ḥayyi wa-yuḥyi l-ʾarḍa baʿda mawtihā wa-ka-dhālika tukhrajūna

5. ومن آياته أن خلقكم من تراب ثم إذا أنتم بشر تنتشرون

   20

   Of His signs is that He created you from dust, then, behold, you are humans scattering [all over]!

   wa-min ʾāyātihī ʾan khalaqakum min turābin thumma ʾidhā ʾantum basharun tantashirūna

6. ومن آياته أن خلق لكم من أنفسكم أزواجا لتسكنوا إليها وجعل بينكم مودة ورحمة إن في ذلك لآيات لقوم يتفكرون

   21

   And of His signs is that He created for you mates from your own selves that you may take comfort in them, and He ordained affection and mercy between you. There are indeed signs in that for a people who reflect.

   wa-min ʾāyātihī ʾan khalaqa lakum min ʾanfusikum ʾazwājan li-taskunū ʾilayhā wa-jaʿala baynakum mawaddatan wa-raḥmatan ʾinna fī dhālika la-ʾāyātin li-qawmin yatafakkarūna

7. ومن آياته خلق السماوات والأرض واختلاف ألسنتكم وألوانكم إن في ذلك لآيات للعالمين

   22

   Among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of your languages and colours. There are indeed signs in that for those who know.

   wa-min ʾāyātihī khalqu s-samāwāti wa-l-ʾarḍi wa-khtilāfu ʾalsinatikum wa-ʾalwānikum ʾinna fī dhālika la-ʾāyātin li-l-ʿālimīna

8. ومن آياته منامكم بالليل والنهار وابتغاؤكم من فضله إن في ذلك لآيات لقوم يسمعون

   23

   And of His signs is your sleep by night and day, and your pursuit of His bounty. There are indeed signs in that for a people who listen.

   wa-min ʾāyātihī manāmukum bi-l-layli wa-n-nahāri wa-btighāʾukum min faḍlihī ʾinna fī dhālika la-ʾāyātin li-qawmin yasmaʿūna

9. ومن آياته يريكم البرق خوفا وطمعا وينزل من السماء ماء فيحيي به الأرض بعد موتها إن في ذلك لآيات لقوم يعقلون

   24

   And of His signs is that He shows you the lightning, arousing fear and hope, and He sends down water from the sky, and with it revives the earth after its death. There are indeed signs in that for people who exercise their reason.

   wa-min ʾāyātihī yurīkumu l-barqa khawfan wa-ṭamaʿan wa-yunazzilu mina s-samāʾi māʾan fa-yuḥyī bihi l-ʾarḍa baʿda mawtihā ʾinna fī dhālika la-ʾāyātin li-qawmin yaʿqilūna
