The Sovereignty · Meccan · Juz 29 · Page 564
Relying on the Merciful
قُلۡ هُوَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ وَعَلَيۡهِ تَوَكَّلۡنَاۖ فَسَتَعۡلَمُونَ مَنۡ هُوَ فِي ضَلَٰلࣲ مُّبِينࣲ ٢٩
Say: He is the Beneficent. In Him we believe and in Him we put our trust. And ye will soon know who it is that is in error manifest.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Say: He is the Most Merciful. We believe in Him and in Him alone we trust. You will soon know who is in clear error.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, the believers’ strength does not come from their numbers or any other means, but from the help of the Most Merciful. Trust (tawakkul) is giving oneself to Him and relying on Him.
Reflect
Today, leave a worry to Allah and do what is in your hands.
