Explained in Detail · Meccan · Juz 24 · Page 479
Your Assumption About Your Lord
وَذَٰلِكُمۡ ظَنُّكُمُ ٱلَّذِي ظَنَنتُم بِرَبِّكُمۡ أَرۡدَىٰكُمۡ فَأَصۡبَحۡتُم مِّنَ ٱلۡخَٰسِرِينَ ٢٣
That, your thought which ye did think about your Lord, hath ruined you; and ye find yourselves (this day) among the lost.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
That assumption you made about your Lord has brought you to ruin.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is a false and evil assumption about Allah, and it destroys; there are two kinds of assumption: one saves, one destroys.
Reflect
Always think well of Allah.
