Hunger and Fear

ٱلَّذِيٓ أَطۡعَمَهُم مِّن جُوعࣲ وَءَامَنَهُم مِّنۡ خَوۡفِۭ ۝٤

Who hath fed them against hunger and hath made them safe from fear.

Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall

Meaning

Who fed them against hunger and made them safe from fear.

Insight

Elmalılı links this to Abraham’s prayer: in a valley where no crops grow, beside the Ka‘bah, Allah provided for them and made them safe.

Reflect

Today, give thanks that you are fed and safe.
