Al-Muddaththir 74:10
The Cloaked One · Meccan · Juz 29 · Page 575
Not Easy
عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ غَيۡرُ يَسِيرࣲ ١٠
Not of ease, for disbelievers.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
For the disbelievers, not easy.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, there are two kinds of hardship: one is very hard at first but grows easier; the other grows harder and never eases. That day is the second kind for the disbelievers.
Reflect
Don’t put off an easy good deed today until tomorrow.
