Sad 38:8
The Letter "Saad" · Meccan · Juz 23 · Page 453
Sent to Him?
أَءُنزِلَ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلذِّكۡرُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِنَاۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ فِي شَكࣲّ مِّن ذِكۡرِيۚ بَل لَّمَّا يَذُوقُواْ عَذَابِ ٨
Hath the reminder been unto him (alone) among us? Nay, but they are in doubt concerning My reminder; nay but they have not yet tasted My doom.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
“Has the message been sent down to him from among us?” Rather, they are in doubt about My message.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is the Qur’an, containing Allah’s reminder; they doubt because they have not yet tasted the punishment.
Reflect
Dispel your doubts with knowledge.
