Transliteration:( Linaftinahum feeh; wa many yu'rid 'an zikri rabbihee yasluk hu 'azaaban sa'ada )
That We might test them through it. And whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord, He will make him enter into an escalating punishment.
✅ Test Through Abundance
Allah (اللَّهُ ) says: Sometimes abundant blessings like water, rain, or wealth are given to test people—to see if they will be thankful or turn away.
➡️ This shows that blessings are not always a reward—they can be a test of gratitude and righteousness.
✅ Severe and Increasing Punishment
Whoever ignores the remembrance of Allah (اللَّهُ ), turns away from His guidance, and becomes arrogant in worldly comfort, will face a punishment that keeps increasing.
Unlike worldly hardship that may become easier with time, this punishment will:
🔴 Keep rising in intensity
🔥 Never decrease
🚫 Have no relief
This serves as a strong warning: Turning away from Allah (اللَّهُ ) brings endless loss—while staying connected to Him brings guidance and ease.
