Heaped-Up Clouds
وَإِن يَرَوۡاْ كِسۡفࣰا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ سَاقِطࣰا يَقُولُواْ سَحَابࣱ مَّرۡكُومࣱ ٤٤
And if they were to see a fragment of the heaven falling, they would say: A heap of clouds.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
If they were to see a fragment of the sky falling, they would say: “Clouds heaped up.”
Insight
According to Elmalılı, they are such deniers that even seeing the punishment they asked for descending on them, they would still deny.
Reflect
Don’t brush off a warning; learn from it.
