Al-Jinn 72:7
The Jinn · Meccan · Juz 29 · Page 572
They Thought None Would Be Sent
وَأَنَّهُمۡ ظَنُّواْ كَمَا ظَنَنتُمۡ أَن لَّن يَبۡعَثَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدࣰا ٧
And indeed they supposed, even as ye suppose, that Allah would not raise anyone (from the dead).
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
“And they thought, as you thought, that Allah would never send anyone.”
Insight
According to Elmalılı, there are two readings: either it is the jinn speaking to one another, or it is divine speech revealed directly.
Reflect
Never despair of Allah’s guidance.
