The difference between Rum and Romans
We often come across the word Rum and Romans, and this causes some confusion between them, so we need to clarify the difference between them.
Both the Romans and the Romans belong to the ancient Roman Empire, which was unified and strong, then it divided into the Eastern Romans and the Western Romans, and they are a dynasty called the Banu Al-Asfar, whose origin goes back to the descendants of Al-Ais bin Ishaq bin Ibrahim, peace be upon them.

They are the owners of the Western Roman Empire. They were pagans, then Catholic, and their capital was Rome, then Milan, then Ravenna, Italy, and their location was the western part of the ancient Roman Empire after the division in the year 359. This West fell under the blows of the northern Germanic tribes, especially By the Vandals and Visigoths who plundered Rome over and over again, and with the deposition of the Roman Emperor Romulus Augustulus by the Germans in 476 AD, the Western Roman Empire was abolished and a new era began in the history of Europe: the Dark Ages....★ Rum: (Greek East)
They are the owners of the Eastern Roman Empire, today more widely known as the Byzantine Empire.

It oriented towards Greek culture instead of Latin culture, and its population mostly spoke the Greek language instead of Latin, and was characterized by Eastern Orthodox Christianity. It was led by Heraclius in the era of prophecy. It entered into wars against the Persian Sassanid Empire, and it took control of Egypt, the Levant, and then North Africa before the Muslims were able to conquer it.
