Ash-Shams 91:10
The Sun · Meccan · Juz 30 · Page 595
Failure for the One Who Buries It
وَقَدۡ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا ١٠
And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And failed is the one who buries it.
Insight
Elmalılı explains “tadsiyah” as dragging one’s soul down through wickedness and burying it. Such a person cannot save himself, and all his hopes turn upside down.
Reflect
Notice a habit that is quietly “burying” you.
