‘Illiyyin
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ ١٨
Nay, but the record of the righteous is in ‘Illiyin.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
No! The record of the righteous is in ‘Illiyyin.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this “No!” recalls the other face of the Day of Resurrection, to turn people again from cheating and denial towards goodness.
Reflect
Do something today worthy of the record of the righteous.
