سَلَٰمࣱ قَوۡلࣰا مِّن رَّبࣲّ رَّحِيمࣲ ٥٨
The word from a Merciful Lord (for them) is: Peace.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
“Peace!” – a word from a Merciful Lord.
Insight
Elmalılı quotes a hadith: while the people of Paradise enjoy its blessings, a light shines above them; they raise their heads and see their Lord honouring them with His sight, and “Peace be upon you” is said. For Elmalılı, this is the greatest blessing.
Reflect
Today, greet everyone you meet with peace, from the heart.
