ASY SYU'ARAA' — Ayat 200

Tafsir Ibnu Katsir

ذِكْرَى وَمَا كُنَّا ظَـلِمِينَ-

200. Thus have We caused it to enter the hearts of the criminals. 201. They will not believe in it until they see the painful torment. 202. It shall come to them of a sudden, while they perceive it not. 203. Then they will say: ”Can we be respited'' 204. Would they then wish for Our torment to be hastened on 205. Think, if We do let them enjoy for years, 206. And afterwards comes to them that which they had been promised. 207. All that with which they used to enjoy shall not avail them. 208. And never did We destroy a township but it had its warners 209. By way of reminder, and We have never been unjust. Allah says: `thus We caused denial, disbelief, rejection and stubbornness to enter the hearts of the sinners.'
