Commentary

There were two great Empires of the world before arrival of the last Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) in the world – The Empires of Iran and Rome. Those both Dominions used to remain in war condition since long. The Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was born in 570 AD and Messenger-hood was bestowed to him in 610 AD. With effect from 602 AD up to after 614 AD, Iran and Rome remained at war. After five years of Muhammad’s Apostleship (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), Iran defeated heavily to the Rome and drove out the Romans from Syria, Egypt and Asia Minor. And then during 615 AD, Iran got ready to assault upon Constantinople, which was Capital of Rome.

 

When the people of Makkah heard this News that disbelievers of Allaah Almighty, Persians who were adorers of fire, had overcome upon the Romans, who were Christians and believers of Allaah Almighty, they said: We (to whom you say Infidels O Muslims!) shall overcome upon you in the same way, because you say yourselves believers. The Muslims suffered a shock from such talks.

 

It has been described in these verses that defeat and victory are in the Power of Allaah Almighty. The war between the Persians and the Romans was their national war – which of them would have more power, had to overcome upon the other. If today, the Persians have got victory, then within nine years, the Romans will overcome upon the Persians, and during that period; the Muslims will overcome upon the Infidels of Arab. And then they will gain double pleasure. Accordingly, this prediction was fulfilled and during 624 AD, the Romans drove out the Persians from their Country and entered in Iran themselves. During the same year, the Muslims defeated the Infidels of Makkah in the Battle of Badr and put them down for ever.

Attack of Persians upon Romans

Chapter “RUUM” – (THE ROMANS) – 30

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahiminash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

 

According to the Order, this is Thirtieth Chapter of Holy Qur’an. It contains six Sections. It was revealed during the middle times of stay in Makkah. Disbelievers of Makkah had been opposing the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and his companions (May Allaah be pleased with them) by all means and they were thinking that Islamic Principles would destroy their society, that is to say, their particular way of living. In accordance with the Islamic teachings, the Creator; the Lord and the Paramount Power of the world was only Allaah Almighty. Those people only are successful who determine that their Worshiped is God Almighty. Before six or seven year of Departure from Makkah, it happened that the Persians made violent attack upon the Romans, and assaulted upon the Countries around the Arab which were under Administrative jurisdiction of Rome. Idolaters of Arab were supporters of Iran because they used to disbelieve in Allaah Almighty. In this regard, those both were like one another.

 

Holy Qur’an had informed the Muslims that the Christians had belief in Allaah Almighty as a True God and that; Jesus (peace be upon him) was His Messenger. Therefore, they were the People of the Scripture. Naturally the Muslims were sympathizers of the Romans, because they also were a nation of God’s Prophet and had belief in Allaah Almighty. By chance, the Persians defeated the Romans, took at first Jerusalem and then Damascus under their possession. Next year they conquered Egypt also and got ready to attack upon Constantinople. When this News reached Arab, the Idolaters were pleased very much and began to vex the Muslims that “Disbelievers of Allaah Almighty had defeated His Believers. So whatever your Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) teaches you that Allaah Almighty is Most Powerful, has been disproved by this happening. He could not help His believers, and disbelievers got victory”.

 

During those days, this Chapter was revealed, in which it has been described clearly that the Romans will vanquish over the Persians after some years and they will rush headlong into their Country by defeating them. Then Muslims will have double pleasure. Firstly that the Romans, who are believers of Allaah Almighty; will overpower their enemies (the Persians) who disbelieve in Allaah Almighty, and secondly that the Muslims will break the backbone of the Infidels of Makkah also. Accordingly after seven years, the Romans defeated the Persians gravely, and on the other side; the Idolaters of Makkah suffered a hard defeat in the Battle of Badr.

 

It has been described in this Chapter that Sovereignty of Allaah Almighty is over the entire worlds. He gives respite to those who disbelieve in Him, but they do not refrain from wickedness. At last they consequently are disgraced and killed by the Believers. The Believers of Allaah Almighty should not be confused if some difficulties come before them. It is a test of their patience and steadiness. At the end they will get victory.
