    The summary/theme of the Surah Ar-Rum:

     In this Surah, a large part of the verses talk about the divine bounties in heaven and on earth, the conjugality system in plants and animals, the creation of man from dust, the relationship between a man and a woman, work during the day and sleep at night, rain, winds, and the revival of the earth.

    Lesson learned from Surah Ar-Rum:

    1. To Allah's belongs all matters, at all times.  
    2. Allah's does not go against His promise.  
    3. Most people are aware of the superficial things regarding the worldly life, but are neglectful of the life Hereafter.  
    4. Allah's created spouses so that they find tranquillity in one another.  
    5. It’s worrying how in difficulty and when faced with adversity, we remember Allah's, yet when He blesses us with some goodness, we forget Him.  
    6. Allah's opens up sustenance for whomsoever He wishes, and restricts it from whomsoever He wishes.  
    7. Corruption spreads in the land and the sea due to the evils of the people, so that Allah's may show them the consequences of their actions, and that they may repent.  
    8. Travel the world and observe how the people of the past met their ends.
