Fatir 35:2
Originator · Meccan · Juz 22 · Page 434
The Mercy He Opens
مَّا يَفۡتَحِ ٱللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ مِن رَّحۡمَةࣲ فَلَا مُمۡسِكَ لَهَاۖ وَمَا يُمۡسِكۡ فَلَا مُرۡسِلَ لَهُۥ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٢
That which Allah openeth unto mankind of mercy none can withhold it; and that which He withholdeth none can release thereafter. He is the Mighty, the Wise.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Whatever Allah grants people of mercy, none can withhold it; whatever He withholds, none can release it.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is Allah opening and releasing any grace, material or spiritual, from His treasury of mercy.
Reflect
Expect mercy from Allah, not from others.
