كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ ذَآئِقَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِ ۖ ثُمَّ إِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُونَ
Every soul will taste of death. Then unto Us ye will be returned.

What It Means: Reading in Context
This entry presents Qur’an 29:57 from Surah Al-Ankaboot, 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.
REFLECTION · EDITORIAL
Let remembrance of the return encourage gentleness toward the living and meaningful use of your time.
This reflection is not Qur’an, hadith or an authoritative tafsir.
