Transliteration:( Fasatazkuroona maaa aqoolu lakum; wa ufawwidu amreee ilal laah; innallaaha baseerum bil'ibaad )
"You shall soon [117] remember when the time comes as to what I say to you. And I entrust [118] my affairs to Allah. Allah sees all His devotees."
The believer warns that a time will come when they will remember his sincere advice—but only after Divine punishment arrives. At that point, however, remembrance will be useless, and their regret will not save them. This shows that Allah’s close servants are often given insight into the future and the fate of those who reject the truth. They are gifted with knowledge of the unseen (ʿIlm al-Ghayb) as part of their spiritual closeness to Allah.
As Pharaoh began to threaten to kill this believing man, he responded not with fear, but with faith and submission: “I entrust my affairs to Allah.” This is a powerful du‘āʾ of protection and reliance upon Allah in times of fear and trial. The verse also reassures believers that Allah is fully aware of the circumstances, suffering, and sincerity of His servants, and He will surely support them.
The tafsir of Surah Muminun verse 44 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Muminun ayat 41 which provides the complete commentary from verse 41 through 46.
(40:44) Soon you shall remember what I say to you. I entrust my affairs to Allah. Surely Allah is watchful over His servants.”[60]
60. This sentence clearly shows that while saying all this the Believer was certain that he would have to bear the brunt of the wrath of the entire kingdom of Pharaoh in consequence of his speaking the truth, and that he would have to lose all his honors and privileges, even his life. But in spite of knowing all this he performed his duty only with his trust in Allah, according to the call of his conscience, on this critical occasion.
