Ar-Rum (The Romans)
Surah 30 · Verse 2
The Romans have been defeated
Round about 614 AD Persians had defeated Romans who in 624 AD defeated the Persians. In the same year corresponding to 2 Hijra, Muslims defeated the infidels at Badr. The place where the Romans were defeated is near the Dead sea which is 400 meters below sea level now and 1400 years back it was 700 meters below sea level – the lowest place on earth. In view of this the word ‘Adna’ would mean ‘Lowest’ and not ‘Near’ as many translators have translated because Dead Sea or Jerusalem are by no standard near Makkah or Madina. Pointing out the lowest area on earth 1400 years back, can be done only by the Creator i.e. Allah (SWT) and no human being and the prediction that the Romans will defeat the Persians within years also came true. These are two of the many proofs that the Quran was revealed by Allah (SWT).
