Until They See the Punishment

لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُاْ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِيمَ ۝٢٠١

They will not believe in it till they behold the painful doom.

Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall

Meaning

They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.

Insight

According to Elmalılı, being criminals, belief does not suit them and the warnings displease them.

Reflect

Don’t leave believing until you see the punishment.
