Surah Al-Baqarah

Verse 46

💎 2:46 Al-Baqara

الَّذِينَ يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّهُمْ مُلَاقُو رَبِّهِمْ وَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ

(They are those) who are certain that they are going to meet their Lord, and that unto Him they are going to return.

Surah Baqarah verse 46

☘️Those who yaṭhunnūna are certain; Are convinced. 

📍 This is naming a matter by its opposite, which occurs frequently amongst the Arabs (yaṭhūnnūna literally means suspect). Nothing is called by its opposite except if there is a benefit.

☘️ They believe with faith that the meeting with Allāh will happen. They await this meeting and prepare for it, and they wait for it in full expectation of it. It is always in their hearts. They prepare for it with righteous deeds they present for it, hoping that He will forgive them, cover them in His mercy, and expiate for them their sins. 

☘️This is a descriptions of those who are khāshiˋīn compliant in obedience. They know with certainty that they will be returning to their Lord who nurtures them with His blessings. From His mercy, He will gather the creations on the Day of Resurrection in order to separate between them.

☘️And the phrasing “their Lord” points to His blessings (the Most-High) over them, for He is the one who raised them, nurtured them, and attended to their presence, just as a gardener attends to his plants with water and betterment. 

☘️And that they will return to Him: Meaning they believe with certainty and expectation that they will return to Him alone. Prefixing “to Him” is to make evident that it is He alone whom they will return to, and He will reward them with goodness for their goodness, and forgiveness for their repentance, for He is the All-Forgiving, the Most Merciful, the Loving to those under His custodianship who repent.

☘️This belief – which is the absolute faith in returning to Allāh – is the belief that repeats with the believer during the day and night, over and over again just as is found in sūrat al-Fātiḥah. 

🔮“We belong to Allāh, and to Him we shall return.” For we are servants of Allāh.
