Who Denies the Judgement
أَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِي يُكَذِّبُ بِٱلدِّينِ ١
Hast thou observed him who belieth religion.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Have you seen him who denies the Judgement?
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this question draws attention by provoking wonder: how can someone who sees hunger and plenty, fear and safety, and knows the value of helping one another, deny the Day of Judgement?
Reflect
Think about how belief in the Judgement shows in your daily conduct.
