The First Hospitality
هَٰذَا نُزُلُهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلدِّينِ ٥٦
This will be their welcome on the Day of Judgment.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
This is their hospitality on the Day of Recompense.
Insight
Elmalılı explains “nuzul” as the first offering made to a guest: if their first hospitality is this, think how painful the rest will be.
Reflect
Offer your guest something good today.
