Surah Adh-Dhariyat (The Scatterers): Verse 6

Original Text Segment:

# | الذاريات : ( 6 ) وإن الدين لواقع # > > أي الجزاء كائن ، وعلى هذا فالإبعاد بالحشر في الموعد هو الحساب ~~والجزاء هو العقاب ، فكأنه بين بقوله : { إن ما توعدون * لصادق * وإن الدين ~~لواقع } أن الحساب يستوفي والعقاب يوفى ثم قال تعالى : # ! 7 < { والسمآء ms8376 ذات الحبك * إنكم لفى قول مختلف } . > 7 <

Translation and Exegesis (Based on Fakhr al-Din al-Razi's approach):

Verse 6: وَإِنَّ الدِّينَ لَوَاقِعٌ (And indeed, the Recompense is surely coming.)

Meaning of Ad-Dīn (The Recompense):

  • It means the Retribution/Reward (Al-Jazā') will certainly occur.
  • Based on this understanding, the gathering (Al-Hashr) at the appointed time constitutes the reckoning (Al-Hisāb).

Contextual Flow:

  • Since Ad-Dīn refers to the punishment/reward, it is as if Allah clarifies by saying:
    • "Indeed, what you are promised (in the previous verse) is true,"
    • AND "Indeed, the Recompense is surely coming."
  • This implies that the reckoning will be fully executed, and the punishment will be completely fulfilled.

Transition to the Next Verse (Verse 7):

Then, the Almighty says:

Verse 7: وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْحُبُكِ * إِنَّكُمْ لَفِي قَوْلٍ مُّخْتَلِفٍ (By the heaven full of pathways/ornaments! Indeed, you are in a conflicting saying.)
