Which Blessing?
فَبِأَيِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ ١٣
Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
So which of the favours of your Lord would you deny?
Insight
According to Elmalılı, denying a blessing is rejecting it with ingratitude: denying that it is a blessing, or that it comes from the Giver.
Reflect
Name a blessing today and attribute it to its Giver.
