Finding Comfort in Allah’s Promise – Surah Ad-Duha Ayah 5
Arabic:
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ
Transliteration: Wa la sawfa yu’ti-ka rabbuka fatarda
English Translation: “And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied.” (Surah Ad-Duha: Ayah 5)
Introduction
There are moments in life when we feel uncertain, overwhelmed, or even hopeless about the future. In such times, the words of Allah ﷻ in Surah Ad-Duha Ayah 5 shine as a beacon of hope. This verse is a promise — a divine assurance that whatever hardship we are facing now, our Lord will replace it with something so fulfilling that our hearts will be content.
The Context of Revelation
Surah Ad-Duha was revealed to comfort Prophet Muhammad ﷺ during a period when revelation had temporarily ceased, and he faced hurtful words from his opponents. Through this Surah, Allah reminded His beloved Prophet ﷺ of His past blessings and assured him that the future would be even better than the present.
Ayah 5 specifically carries a powerful reassurance: Allah will give so abundantly that contentment will fill the heart.
