Translations

Transliteration
Wa-innahu la-haqqu al-yaqin
Tafsir (Explanation)
This ayah affirms that the Quran is the absolute truth with certainty—not mere conjecture or doubt. Classical scholars like Ibn Kathir and Al-Tabari interpret this as a powerful assertion of the Quran's veracity and divine origin, emphasizing that believers should have unwavering conviction (yaqin) in its message. The phrase 'haqq al-yaqin' (the truth of certainty) represents the highest degree of certitude, distinguishing between knowledge and mere belief.
Revelation Context
This ayah concludes Surah Al-Haqqah, which emphasizes the certainty of the Day of Judgment and the reality of the Hereafter. The surah itself addresses those who deny resurrection and the divine message, making this final affirmation a powerful conclusion that validates both the Quran's authenticity and the reality of the events it describes.
