An Easy Reckoning

فَسَوۡفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابࣰا يَسِيرࣰا ۝٨

He truly will receive an easy reckoning.

Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall

Meaning

He will be judged with an easy reckoning.

Insight

According to Elmalılı, this is an easy reckoning without dispute. In a hadith in al-Bukhari, the Prophet explained it as the record merely being looked at and passed.

Reflect

Spend today in a way that would be easy to account for.
