Al-Muddaththir 74:47
The Cloaked One · Meccan · Juz 29 · Page 576
Until Certainty Came
حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلۡيَقِينُ ٤٧
Till the Inevitable came unto us.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
“Until there came to us the certainty.”
Insight
According to Elmalılı, the certainty is death: they went on this way until death came; only then did they know for sure that the Day of Recompense was true.
Reflect
Reach certainty today, before death comes.
