An Appointed Day
لَمَجۡمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَٰتِ يَوۡمࣲ مَّعۡلُومࣲ ٥٠
Will all be brought together to the tryst of an appointed day.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Will be gathered for the appointment of a known Day.
Insight
Elmalılı explains “miqat” as the limit that fixes a thing’s time; the Hour is called so because it sets the term of the world.
Reflect
Consider that your life too has an appointed term.
