A Punishment Before That
وَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ عَذَابࣰا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٤٧
And verily, for those who do wrong, there is a punishment beyond that. But most of them know not.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And for those who did wrong is a punishment before that.
Insight
