The Day of Judgement
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ ١٧
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And what will make you know what the Day of Judgement is?
Insight
According to Elmalılı, that day cannot be compared with any day of reckoning in this world; so man cannot know it by reasoning.
Reflect
Set aside a few minutes today to think about the Day of Judgement.
