An Oath for the Wise
هَلۡ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمࣱ لِّذِي حِجۡرٍ ٥
There surely is an oath for thinking man.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Is there not in these an oath for one of understanding?
Insight
According to Elmalılı, these oaths carry great meaning for one whose reason restrains him from evil: they are events that make a person think.
Reflect
Today, use your mind in a way that keeps you from wrong.
