Surah Al-Jinn — Ayah 17 (72:17)

English translation (Saheeh International)

So We might test them therein. And whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord¹ He will put into arduous punishment.

1. - i.e., refuses obedience to Him.

Brief commentary

To test them in that, are they thankful for Allah’s favours or are they ungrateful for them? Whoever turns away from the Qur’ān and the admonitions it contains, His Lord will enter him into a difficult punishment that he will not be able to bear.
