You Will Soon Know
كَلَّا سَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ ٣
Nay, but ye will come to know.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
No! You will soon know.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is a warning, “It is not so!”: forgetting the real duty in a world that ends in the grave and amusing oneself with empty, passing things does not befit people of reason.
Reflect
Today, put your most important task before an empty distraction.
