Surah Al-Mu'minun — Ayah 64 (23:64)
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَخَذۡنَا مُتۡرَفِيهِم بِٱلۡعَذَابِ إِذَا هُمۡ يَجۡـَٔرُونَ ٦٤
English translation (Saheeh International)
Until when We seize their affluent ones with punishment,1 at once they are crying [to Allāh] for help.
- - In worldly life, before the punishment of the Hereafter. Although general, the description includes specifically the punishment of the Quraysh by famine.
Brief commentary
Until when I punish those among them who lived in luxury in the world with the punishment on the Day of Judgment, they shall raise their voices calling out for help.
