Al-Layl 92:9
The Night · Meccan · Juz 30 · Page 595
Denying the Best
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ ٩
And disbelieveth in goodness.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And denies the best.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is not believing in anything better, denying that those who do good will have a better end, and looking at the future in despair, saying “doing good and being mindful are useless”.
Reflect
Today, replace pessimism with hope and do a good deed.
