وَفَٰكِهَةٍۢ كَثِيرَةٍۢ
Translation
abundant fruits,
English translation: M.A.S. Abdel Haleem.
Meaning and reflection
'And abundant fruit.' Ibn Ashur and al-Saadi note the plainness of 'fakihatin kathira', simply abundant, plentiful beyond counting, before the next verse names the two ways this fruit will differ from all earthly fruit. Ask yourself: 'abundant' is a word I rarely get to use honestly about anything, my resources, my time, my energy all feel scarce, rationed, never quite enough. The economy of this world runs on scarcity, and it trains my heart to grasp and hoard. This verse quietly asserts a different economy, one of abundance. It invites me to imagine, and trust, a generosity where 'enough' is not the ceiling but the floor. How much of my anxiety and stinginess comes from a scarcity I've assumed is the only reality?
Grounded in classical tafsir: Ibn Ashur, al-Saadi, al-Biqa'i.
