Deceived by Generosity
كَلَّا بَلۡ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ ٩
Nay, but ye deny the Judgment.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
No! But you deny the Judgement.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this warns against being deceived by Allah’s generosity: you do not value it, and you deny His commands and the day of recompense.
Reflect
Answer Allah’s kindness to you with an act of obedience today.
