Two Paths
يُدۡخِلُ مَن يَشَآءُ فِي رَحۡمَتِهِۦۚ وَٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ أَعَدَّ لَهُمۡ عَذَابًا أَلِيمَۢا ٣١
He maketh whom He will to enter His mercy, and for evil-doers hath prepared a painful doom.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
He admits whom He wills into His mercy; for the wrongdoers He has prepared a painful punishment.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, Allah has shown two paths, one to His mercy and one to His punishment; man is created to be tested between these two.
Reflect
Choose the path to mercy today.
