Learning Notes

Micro Tafsir

Serves as one of the most foundational particles in the Quran, establishing ownership (*Lillāh* - 'To Allah belongs...'), divine purpose (*Li-ya'budūn* - 'so that they worship'), or ultimate destiny.

Memory Hook

Think of *Li-* as a pointing arrow—directing ownership to someone ('for') or action toward a goal ('so that').

لِّلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَإِن تُبْدُوا مَا فِي أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ يُحَاسِبْكُم بِهِ اللَّهُ فَيَغْفِرُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَاءُ وَاللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Whether you show what is within yourselves or conceal it, Allah will bring you to account for it. Then He will forgive whom He wills and punish whom He wills, and Allah is over all things competent.
