Deterring News
وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَنۢبَآءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزۡدَجَرٌ ٤
And surely there hath come unto them news whereof the purport should deter.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And there has certainly come to them of information that which deters.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, there came in the Qur’an such important news about past peoples or the Hereafter that it holds deterrence.
Reflect
Take a deterring lesson today from a story in the Qur’an.
