Surah Al-An'am — Ayah 49 (6:49)
وَٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يَمَسُّهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفۡسُقُونَ ٤٩
English translation (Saheeh International)
But those who deny Our verses - the punishment will touch1 them for their defiant disobedience.
- - i.e., reach and afflict.
Brief commentary
Those who deny our signs will be afflicted by the punishment because they opposed Allah. If they had not gone against Him, but fulfilled His instructions and stayed away from His prohibitions, then the punishment would not have afflicted them.
