The Assembly Will Be Defeated
سَيُهۡزَمُ ٱلۡجَمۡعُ وَيُوَلُّونَ ٱلدُّبُرَ ٤٥
The hosts will all be routed and will turn and flee.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Their assembly will be defeated, and they will turn their backs.
Insight
Elmalılı relates from Abu Hurayrah: when this verse came, ‘Umar asked “Which assembly?”, and understood when he saw the Prophet recite it on the day of Badr.
Reflect
Know that the worldly ties you rely on are temporary.
