Surah At-Tur — Ayah 47 (52:47)
وَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ عَذَابٗا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٤٧
English translation (Saheeh International)
And indeed, for those who have wronged is a punishment1 before that, but most of them do not know.
- - If not in this world, in the grave.
Brief commentary
And for those who wronged themselves through idolatry and sins is a punishment before the punishment of the afterlife: in this life through being killed and imprisoned, and in the Transitory Stage through punishment of the grave. However, most of them do not know that, which is why they remain on their disbelief.
