Barred from Their Desires
وَحِيلَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ وَبَيۡنَ مَا يَشۡتَهُونَ كَمَا فُعِلَ بِأَشۡيَاعِهِم مِّن قَبۡلُۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ فِي شَكࣲّ مُّرِيبِۭ ٥٤
And a gulf is set between them and that which they desire, as was done for people of their kind of old. Lo! they were in hopeless doubt.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And prevention will be placed between them and what they desire; indeed, they were in disquieting doubt.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is an unsettling doubt that also casts others into doubt and troubles their own hearts.
Reflect
Dispel your doubts with knowledge.
