 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

                                                           

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ 204  أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَٰهُمْ سِنِينَ 205  ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ 206  مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُمَتَّعُونَ 207  وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ 208  ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ 209  

                                            

204.  Would they (now) hasten on Our doom? 205.  Hast thou then seen, if We content them for (long) years – 206.  And then cometh to them that which they were promised – 207.  What will they gain by that which they had been enjoying? 208.  And We destroyed no township but it had its warners – 209.  For reminder, and We never were Oppressors.

204.  ‘Afabi-‘azaabiNaa  yasta’-jiluun. 205.  ‘Afara-‘ayta  ‘im-matta’-Naahum  siniin. 206.  Summa  jaaa-‘ahum-maa  kaanuu  yuu-‘aduun. 207.  Maaa  ‘agnaa  ‘anhum-maa  kaanuu  yumatta-‘uun. 208.  Wa  maaa  ‘ahlakNaa  min  qaryatin  ‘illaa  lahaa  munzi-ruun. 209.  Zikraa  wa  maa  kunnaa  zaalimiin.

Commentary

Worldly desires and denying the Truth are reciprocal. When desire of the world takes one’s heart then certainly denial of the Truth will produce effect in the heart naturally. Now this denial will leave the heart then; when the individual will begin to die and he will be suffering from a great and heavy calamity. At that time; he will say: Would that I had been reprieved for some time and I had followed the Truth.

It is commanded: Do they wish that the doom should come immediately? Say to them! Consider it a blessing which you have been reprieved here and make some arrangements for your future betterment, otherwise if the doom came in your present condition of carelessness, then you will feel that length of the time of many years; which you passed in pleasures and enjoyment; was only for a few hours. So you should value this period of respite and should not hasten.

After that, it is commanded: Before destroying any township, We send Warners into it who advise them. We do never oppress any human being, but cause to understand concerning good and bad, by sending Our Messengers (peace be upon them).
