Surah Hud Ayah 8

Hud · Ayah 8 · Juz 12 · Page 222

وَلَئِنۡ أَخَّرۡنَا عَنۡهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابَ إِلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٖ مَّعۡدُودَةٖ لَّيَقُولُنَّ مَا يَحۡبِسُهُۥٓۗ أَلَا يَوۡمَ يَأۡتِيهِمۡ لَيۡسَ مَصۡرُوفًا عَنۡهُمۡ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ ٨

Wa laʾin akhkharnā ʿanhumul-ʿadhāba ilā ummatim maʿdūdatil layaqūlunna mā yaḥbisuh, alā yawma yaʾtīhim laysa maṣrūfan ʿanhum wa ḥāqa bihim mā kānū bihī yastahziʾūn.

And if We hold back from them the punishment for a limited time, they will surely say,1 "What detains it?" Unquestionably, on the Day it comes to them, it will not be averted from them, and they will be enveloped by what they used to ridicule.

Translation: Sahih International
