A Cloud of Dust
فَأَثَرۡنَ بِهِۦ نَقۡعࣰا ٤
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Raising a cloud of dust.
Insight
Elmalılı notes the change of verb form here: the cloud of dust that results from the running brings the scene to life before our eyes.
Reflect
Think about the trace a task you do today leaves behind.
