Al-Hijr 15:99

What It Means: Reading in Context

This closing verse of Al-Hijr follows the instruction to praise the Lord and prostrate in 15:98. Pickthall renders al-yaqin as the Inevitable; the linked comparison includes translations that identify it as death. The entry therefore presents continued worship, not permission to stop worship after a feeling of certainty. This entry presents Qur’an 15:99 from Surah Al-Hijr, with Arabic text and Marmaduke Pickthall’s English translation. The translation conveys meaning in English; it is not a replacement for the Arabic Qur’an. Read the linked passage with the verses before and after it, particularly when a sentence continues across verse boundaries. The topics shown here are editorial reading aids rather than an exhaustive interpretation of the passage. Our short reflection offers a possible practical response, clearly separated from scripture. It should not be repeated as a verse, hadith or authoritative tafsir. For detailed interpretation or questions about religious practice, consult qualified scholarship and the complete source.
