An-Nahl (The Bee)
Verse 33of 128
هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن تَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ أَوْ يَأْتِىَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ فَعَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ﴿٣٣﴾
Translation (Sahih International)
Do the disbelievers await [anything] except that the angels should come to them or there comes the command of your Lord? Thus did those do before them. And Allah wronged them not, but they had been wronging themselves.
Word-by-word meaning
Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
The Disbelievers' Refrain from Faith means that They were simply awaiting PunishmentThreatening the idolators for their persistence in falsehood and their conceited delusions about this world, Allah says: Are these people waiting only for the angels to come and take their souls Qatadah said: أَوْ يَأْتِىَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَ(Or there comes the command of your Lord) means the Day of Resurrection and the terror that they will go through.
