Fleeing from a Lion
فَرَّتۡ مِن قَسۡوَرَةِۭ ٥١
Fleeing from a lion.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Fleeing from a lion.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, “qaswarah” means a band of fierce hunters or a lion; most lexicographers said lion. This is how they flee from the reminder.
Reflect
Don’t flee from a truth that frightens you; turn towards it.
