Surah Al-Mulk 67:29
سُورَةُ المُلۡكِ · Meccan · Verse 29 of 30
قُلْ هُوَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ وَعَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا ۖ فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ هُوَ فِى ضَلَٰلٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ
Translation
Say, ‘He is the Lord of Mercy; we believe in Him; we put our trust in Him. You will come to know in time who is in obvious error.’
English translation: M.A.S. Abdel Haleem.
Meaning and reflection
'Say: He is the Most Merciful; in Him we believe, and upon Him we rely, and you will come to know who is in clear error.' Ibn Ashur and al-Biqa'i note the believer's entire stance compressed into one line: faith in ar-Rahman, plus reliance (tawakkul) on Him, conviction wedded to dependence, and then a calm handing-over of the verdict: time and truth will sort who was astray. No argument, no anxiety, just belief, trust, and patience. Ask yourself: when I'm doubted or pressured about my faith, my instinct is to argue, defend, prove. This verse models something quieter and stronger, 'we believe in Him, we rely on Him, and the outcome will make things clear.' Could I hold my convictions with that much trust, and leave the final judgment to the One who actually issues it?
Grounded in classical tafsir: Ibn Ashur, al-Biqa'i, al-Saadi.
