Far Astray
أَفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَم بِهِۦ جِنَّةُۢۗ بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ فِي ٱلۡعَذَابِ وَٱلضَّلَٰلِ ٱلۡبَعِيدِ ٨
Hath he invented a lie concerning Allah, or is there in him a madness? Nay, but those who disbelieve in the Hereafter are in torment and far error.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Rather, those who do not believe in the Hereafter will be in punishment and extreme error.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, those without faith in the Hereafter are, besides the torment awaiting them there, in a torment of error in this world too.
Reflect
Reflect that faith in the Hereafter brings peace in this world too.
