Ad-Duhaa 93:5
The Morning Hours · Meccan · Juz 30 · Page 596
Contentment
وَلَسَوۡفَ يُعۡطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرۡضَىٰٓ ٥
And verily thy Lord will give unto thee so that thou wilt be content.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Your Lord will give you, and you will be well pleased.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is a giving that leaves no trace of sorrow, hurt or waiting, so that one is completely content. He sees it as a contentment even higher than the station of ‘well pleased and well pleasing’.
Reflect
Today, count something you have been given and are content with.
