Al-Fajr 89:25
The Dawn · Meccan · Juz 30 · Page 594
None Can Punish Like Him
فَيَوۡمَئِذࣲ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدࣱ ٢٥
None punisheth as He will punish on that day.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
That day none will punish as He punishes, and none will bind as He binds.
Insight
Elmalılı gives two meanings: none can match the severity of the punishment Allah gives that day; or no one can bear the punishment that person deserves in his place.
Reflect
Take on a responsibility today that you cannot load onto anyone else.
