Surah Al-Ma'idah (5:21)

يٰقَوۡمِ ادۡخُلُوا الۡاَرۡضَ الۡمُقَدَّسَةَ الَّتِىۡ كَتَبَ اللّٰهُ لَـكُمۡ وَلَا تَرۡتَدُّوۡا عَلٰٓى اَدۡبَارِكُمۡ فَتَـنۡقَلِبُوۡا خٰسِرِيۡنَ‏ ۝

Ya qawmi odkhuloo al-ardaalmuqaddasata allatee kataba Allahu lakum walatartaddoo AAala adbarikum fatanqaliboo khasireen

O my people, enter the blessed land i.e., Palestine which Allāh has assigned to you and do not turn back from fighting in Allāh's cause and thus become losers."

Tadabbur (Reflection)

Theme of the Ayat

The Command to Enter the Holy Land: Musa's command for conquest and trust. |

The Insight

Musa commanded his people to enter the Holy Land which God had decreed for them, warning against turning back in fear. **Embrace the appointed struggle.** Do not let fear prevent you from claiming the blessings God has designated for you. Forward moral and spiritual progress requires courage and action. |
