அவ்வாறல்ல! அது அவர்களிடம் திடீரென வந்து, அவர்களைத் தட்டழியச் செய்து விடும். அதைத் தடுத்துக் கொள்ள அவர்களால் இயலாது அவர்களுக்குச் சிறிதும் அவகாசம் கொடுக்கப்பட மாட்டாது.

එහෙත් ඔවුන් වෙත හදිසියේම එය පැමිණෙයි. එවිට එය ඔවුන් කම්පනයට පත් කරයි. එවිට එයට ප්‍රතිචාර දැක්වීමට ඔවුහු හැකියාව නො දරති. එමෙන් ම ඔවුන් අවකාශයද දෙනු නො ලබති.

Tafsir of 21:40

The Idolators seek to hasten on the Punishment Allah also tells us how the idolators seek to hasten punishment upon themselves, out of denial, rejection, disbelief, stubbornness and a belief that it will never happen. He says: وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَى هَذَا الْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَدِقِينَ (And they say: "When will this promise (come to pass), if you are truthful".) And Allah says: لَوْ يَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ حِينَ لاَ يَكُفُّونَ عَن وُجُوهِهِمُ النَّارَ وَلاَ عَن ظُهُورِهِمْ (If only those who disbelieved knew (the time) when they will not be able to ward off the Fire from their faces, nor from their backs,) meaning, if only they knew for certain that it will inevitably come to pass, they would not seek to hasten it. If only they knew how the torment will overwhelm them from above them and from beneath their feet. لَهُمْ مِّن فَوْقِهِمْ ظُلَلٌ مِّنَ النَّارِ وَمِن تَحْتِهِمْ ظُلَلٌ (They shall have coverings of Fire, above them and coverings (of Fire) beneath them) 39:16 لَهُم مِّن جَهَنَّمَ مِهَادٌ وَمِن فَوْقِهِمْ غَوَاشٍ (Theirs will be a bed of Hell (Fire), and over them coverings (of Hellfire)) 7:41.…
