Knowledge of the Hereafter
بَلِ ٱدَّـٰرَكَ عِلۡمُهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ فِي شَكࣲّ مِّنۡهَاۖ بَلۡ هُم مِّنۡهَا عَمُونَ ٦٦
Nay, but doth their knowledge reach to the Hereafter? Nay, for they are in doubt concerning it. Nay, for they cannot see it.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Their knowledge of the Hereafter comes in succession; yet they are in doubt about it.
Insight
Elmalılı explains “iddaraka” as overtaking one another, coming in succession.
Reflect
Complete what you know of the Hereafter with certainty, not doubt.
