Transliteration:( Lahoo maqaaleedus sa maawaati wal ard; wallazeena kafaroo bi ayaatil laahi ulaaa'ika humul khaasiroon (section 6) )
"To Him belong the keys [154] of the heavens and the earth. And those who rejected the Signs of Allah, are the people who are in a loss [155]."
The "keys of the heavens and the earth" signify that Allah is the Master of all provisions, mercy, sustenance, and rain.
He grants as He wills, when He wills, and none can stop or question His decisions.
A profound insight from the great Sufi sage interprets:
Mafāteh (keys): starts with Meem and ends with Hā
Maqālīd (keys): starts with Meem and ends with Dāl
These letters together form "Muhammad", pointing to the reality that the Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the key to all the divine treasures of the heavens and the earth.
Those who deny the signs of Allah face loss in both worlds:
In this world, none of their good deeds are accepted,
And in the Hereafter, they will receive no salvation.
What greater loss can there be than eternal deprivation from Allah’s mercy and reward?
