Tafsir of verse 28

Al-Mukhtasar

We used to worship Him in our worldly life and we used to pray to Him to protect us from the fire of hell. He is Beneficent to His servants and Merciful to them. Part of His beneficence and mercy upon us is that He guided us to faith, entered us into Paradise and distanced us from the fire.”

Other translations of verse 28

Indeed, we used to call upon Him before. He is indeed the Most Kind, the Most Merciful.”

"Verily, We used to invoke Him (Alone and none else) before. Verily, He is Al-Barr (the Most Subtle, Kind, Courteous, and Generous), the Most Merciful."6

Notes

[6] (V.52:28) See the footnote of (V.2:165).

Lo! we used to pray unto Him of old. Lo! He is the Benign, the Merciful.

"Truly, we did call unto Him from of old: truly it is He, the Beneficent, the Merciful!"

Surely we called upon Him before: Surely He is the Benign, the Merciful.

Surely we used earlier to invoke Him; surely He, Ever He, is The Ever-Benign, The Ever-Merciful."
