يَعْلَمُونَ ظَٰهِرًا مِّنَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ هُمْ غَٰفِلُونَ
They know what is apparent of the worldly life, but they, of the Hereafter, are unaware.

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.
