Sura 17
Aya 14
14
اقرَأ كِتابَكَ كَفىٰ بِنَفسِكَ اليَومَ عَلَيكَ حَسيبًا

Yusuf Ali

(It will be said to him:) “Read thine (own) record: Sufficient is thy soul this day to make out an account against thee.”1
  • Our true accusers are our own deeds. Why not look to them instead of vainly prying into something superstitious which we call a book of fortune or a book of omens? (Cf. 85:3).
