Muhammad 47:35
Muhammad · Medinan · Juz 26 · Page 510
Do Not Weaken
فَلَا تَهِنُواْ وَتَدۡعُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلسَّلۡمِ وَأَنتُمُ ٱلۡأَعۡلَوۡنَ وَٱللَّهُ مَعَكُمۡ وَلَن يَتِرَكُمۡ أَعۡمَٰلَكُمۡ ٣٥
So do not falter and cry out for peace when ye (will be) the uppermost, and Allah is with you, and He will not grudge (the reward of) your actions.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
So do not weaken; Allah is with you and will never deprive you of your deeds.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, since it is known that those dying in disbelief are not forgiven and that disobedience wipes out deeds, no weakness should be shown.
Reflect
Don’t slacken in some good deed today.
