Tafheem ul Quran

Surah 23 Al-Mu'minun, Ayat 115-115

اَفَحَسِبۡتُمۡ اَنَّمَا خَلَقۡنٰكُمۡ عَبَثًا وَّاَنَّكُمۡ اِلَيۡنَا لَا تُرۡجَعُوۡنَ‏  ﴿23:115﴾

(23:115) Did you imagine that We created you without any purpose,102 and that you will not be brought back to Us?"


Notes

102. The Arabic word abathan in the text also means “for the sake of sport”. Then the verse will mean: Did you think that We had created you merely for the sake of sport and there was no purpose behind your creation? Therefore you may eat, drink, be merry and enjoy yourself as you please.
