The Wrongdoers’ Portion
فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ذَنُوبࣰا مِّثۡلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصۡحَٰبِهِمۡ فَلَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ ٥٩
And lo! for those who (now) do wrong there is an evil day like unto the evil day (which came for) their likes (of old); so let them not ask Me to hasten on (that day).
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
For those who did wrong is a portion like the portion of their companions, so let them not hasten.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, these are the wrongdoers of Mecca who rejected the Prophet, fled from servanthood to Allah and dragged themselves to eternal punishment through idolatry and transgression.
Reflect
Beware of wronging your own soul.
