Aya 94
94
قُل إِن كانَت لَكُمُ الدّارُ الآخِرَةُ عِندَ اللَّهِ خالِصَةً مِن دونِ النّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُا المَوتَ إِن كُنتُم صادِقينَ

Muhammad Asad

Say: "If an afterlife with God is to be for you alone, to the exclusion of all other people,1 then you should long for death - if what you say is true!"
  • An allusion to the Jewish belief that paradise is reserved for the children of Israel alone (cf. verse III of this surah ).
