Three Groups
وَكُنتُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجࣰا ثَلَٰثَةࣰ ٧
And ye will be three kinds.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And you become three kinds.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, the address may be to all mankind, but, as some commentators prefer, it is more fitting that it is to this community.
Reflect
Think today about which group you want to be in.
