Surah As-Sajdah — Ayah 21 (32:21)

English translation (Saheeh International)

And We will surely let them taste the nearer punishment¹ short of the greater punishment that perhaps they will return [i.e., repent].

1. - i.e., the disasters and calamities of this world.

Brief commentary

I will definitely make these disbelievers who left the obedience of their Lord and do not repent, suffer trials and afflictions in the worldly life, for perhaps due to those worldly afflictions, they will repent to Allah.
