Then He sent down to you After the distress some peace and sleep Covering one group among you
And the other group made up their minds With no reasonable thinking about Allah But guesswork as of the period of Ignorance.
They say, “Do we have anything to do in the Decision making?” You say, “Surely all Decision making is for Allah.” They hide in their minds what they do not show you.
They say, “If there was for us Anything to do in the Decision making, We would not have been killed here.”
You say, “Even if you were in your homes Those on whom the death was written down It would have reached their deathbeds.”
And He did so that Allah may test what is in your minds And He may purify you from what is in your hearts. And Allah is the Knower of what is in the hearts.
