Sura 55
Aya 38
38
فَبِأَيِّ آلاءِ رَبِّكُما تُكَذِّبانِ

Ali Unal

Then (O humankind and jinn), which of the favors of your Lord will you deny?1
  • Although people do not like death, it is liberation from the sufferings of the world, and a door to the eternal life, where people will receive remuneration for their deeds in the world. Moreover, like God’s Justice, His Compassion will also manifest itself with all its infinity in the Hereafter. So the advent of the Last Hour will be a blessing or favor in this respect; its announcement is also a blessing for people in that it urges them to self-criticism. The thought of getting what one deserves, with no action being concealed, prevents people from committing evil actions. (For a detailed explanation of the benefits of belief in the afterlife, see 44: 37, note 11.)
