For a Time
إِلَّا رَحۡمَةࣰ مِّنَّا وَمَتَٰعًا إِلَىٰ حِينࣲ ٤٤
Unless by mercy from Us and as comfort for a while.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Except as a mercy from Us and an enjoyment for a time.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, rescue comes not by a person’s own strength but only by Allah’s mercy and by being granted life until a set time.
Reflect
Today is time given to you; how will you use it?
