You Are Not Mad
مَآ أَنتَ بِنِعۡمَةِ رَبِّكَ بِمَجۡنُونࣲ ٢
Thou art not, for thy Lord’s favour unto thee, a madman.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
By the favour of your Lord, you are not mad.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is the answer to the oath: by the right of your Lord’s favour, or thanks to it, you are not mad.
Reflect
If you are mocked for speaking the truth, be patient.
