Context in Al-Mulk (Ayah 29)

Believers declare: Huwa al-Rahman amanna bihi wa 'alayhi tawakkalna—We believed in the Merciful and relied on Him. Fasata'lamoon man huwa fi dhalal mubin: you will know who is in clear error.

Tafsir presents public stance of faith after extended argument—confidence without insult, leaving outcome to Allah. Tawakkul follows iman logically once names and signs are understood.

Closing rhetorical flip mirrors earlier mockery, now with patient certainty.
