Al-Layl 92:15
The Night · Meccan · Juz 30 · Page 596
The Most Wretched
لَا يَصۡلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى ١٥
Which only the most wretched must endure.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
None will burn in it but the most wretched.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, “the most wretched” means the disbeliever; the next verse explains him as one who denies and turns away.
Reflect
What can you do today to stay away from paths that lead to wretchedness?
