And they ask you to hasten on the chastisement; and had not a term been appointed, the chastisement would certainly have come to them; and most certainly it will come to them all of a sudden while they will not perceive.

And certainly a lasting chastisement overtook them in the morning.

Those before them rejected (prophets), therefore there came to them the chastisement from whence they perceived not.

And they call (it) a lie, and follow their low desires; and every affair has its appointed term.

What! as for him then against whom the sentence of chastisement is due: What! can you save him who is in the fire? / But (as for) those who are careful of (their duty to) their Lord, they shall have high places, above them higher places, built (for them), beneath which flow rivers; (this is) the promise of Allah: Allah will not fail in (His) promise.

And already We overtook them with chastisement, but they were not submissive to their Lord, nor do they humble themselves.
