Ya-Sin 36:83
Ya Sin · Meccan · Juz 23 · Page 445
Dominion over All Things
فَسُبۡحَٰنَ ٱلَّذِي بِيَدِهِۦ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَيۡءࣲ وَإِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ ٨٣
Therefor Glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion over all things! Unto Him ye will be brought back.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Glory be to Him in whose hand is the dominion of all things. To Him you will be returned.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, everyone will return to Him in the end: some running, with faith, surrender and contentment; others unwillingly, seized and brought before Him. A person chooses which now.
Reflect
Think about how you want to return to Allah: running, or being pulled?
