مِّن
قَبۡلِكَ
فَحَاقَ

مَّا
كَانُواْ
بِهِۦ
يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ

Read in Context

Chapter 21, Page 325, Juz 17

34. We have not granted everlasting life to any other human being before you either [Muhammad]- if you die, will [the disbelievers] live for ever? 35. Every soul is certain to taste death: We test you all through the bad and the good, and to Us you will all return. 36. When the disbelievers see you, they laugh at you: ‘Is this the one who talks about your gods?’ They reject any talk of the Lord of Mercy. 37. Man was created hasty: I will show you My signs soon, so do not ask Me to hasten them. 38. They say, ‘When will this promise be fulfilled, if what you say is true?’ 39. If the disbelievers only knew, the time will arrive when they will not be able to ward off the Fire from their faces or their backs, and they will get no help. 40. It will come upon them suddenly and stupefy them; they will be powerless to push it away; they will not be reprieved. 41. Messengers before you [Muhammad] were also ridiculed, but those who mocked them were overwhelmed in the end by the very thing they had mocked.

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
