Awe in the Unseen
مَّنۡ خَشِيَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنَ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَجَآءَ بِقَلۡبࣲ مُّنِيبٍ ٣٣
Who feareth the Beneficent in secret and cometh with a contrite heart.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Who feared the Most Merciful unseen and came with a heart returning.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is one who believed in the Most Merciful before coming before Him and before the veils lifted, tasting His mercy and feeling the dread of His punishment.
Reflect
Revere your unseen Lord as if you see Him.
