وَإِن كَانُوا۟ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْهِم مِّن قَبْلِهِۦ لَمُبْلِسِينَ
Although they were, before it was sent down upon them - before that, in despair.

Revelation context of the surah
Surah-wideAr-Rum is Meccan. It was revealed after Sasanian Persia inflicted a heavy defeat on Byzantium (roughly 613-619) and foretold that the Romans would prevail within a few years. The fulfilment of this prediction, which reports associate with the years around Badr, was counted as evidence of the truth of revelation.
