FAST IN HISTORY

Since the dawn of history, man did not find any means better than fast to ascend above yielding to his desires and worldly wishes, attain spiritual upliftment, return to spirituality, and renounce contemptible habits to which he became addicted and which led him to perdition.

Rum (The [East] Romans)

The Surah takes its name" Al-Rum" from the second verse in which the words ghulib-at-ir-Rum (The Byzantines have been defeated) have occurred.

Repentance (Tawba)

This Surah is known by two names Al-Tawba and Al-Bara'a. It is called Al-Tawba because it enunciates the nature of tawba (repentance) and mentions the conditions of its acceptance (vv. 102. 118). The second name Bara'a (Release) is taken from the first word of the Surah.
