A Sufficient Gift
جَزَآءࣰ مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابࣰا ٣٦
Requital from thy Lord - a gift in payment.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
A reward from your Lord, a sufficient gift.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is a full and abundant gift, until one says “enough”: a grace to the mindful, in contrast to the fitting punishment of the arrogant.
Reflect
Say today that what Allah has given you is enough, and give thanks.
