LessonsConclusion: Departing from the Apparent Demands of ContextQuiz

وَمَا لِيَ لَا أَعْبُدُ الَّذِي فَطَرَنِي وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ
Why should I not worship the One who created me, while to Him you will be returned? (Ya-Sin 36:22)

“مَا لِيَ” and “فَطَرَنِي” concern the speaker, but “تُرْجَعُونَ” addresses the listeners directly. The perspective moves from first person to second person.

The shift converts a personal statement of worship into a direct reminder of the audience’s own final return.
