Say: "Think ye, if the punishment of Allah comes to you, whether suddenly or openly, will any be destroyed except those who do wrong?

Did they then feel secure against the plan of Allah?- but no one can feel secure from the Plan of Allah, except those (doomed) to ruin!

Evil as an example are people who reject Our signs and wrong their own souls.

"O my sons! go ye and enquire about Joseph and his brother, and never give up hope of Allah's Soothing Mercy: truly no one despairs of Allah's Soothing Mercy, except those who have no faith."

Therefore patiently persevere, as did (all) messengers of inflexible purpose; and be in no haste about the (Unbelievers). On the Day that they see the (Punishment) promised them, (it will be) as if they had not tarried more than an hour in a single day. (Thine but) to proclaim the Message: but shall any be destroyed except those who transgress?

你说：“你们告诉我吧，如果真主的刑罚忽然或显然降临你们，那末，除不义的民众外，还有谁会被毁灭呢？”

难道他们不怕真主的计谋吗？只有亏折的民众才不怕真主的计谋。

否认我的迹象，而且自欺的民众，其譬喻真恶劣！

他说：“我的孩子们！你们去打听优素福和他弟弟的消息吧。你们不要绝望于真主的慈恩，只有不信道的人们才绝望于真主的慈恩。”

你应当坚忍，如有决心的众使者那样坚忍，你不要要求他们所应得的刑罚早日实现。他们眼见自己所做恐吓的刑罚之日，他们将觉得仿佛在尘世只在白昼逗留过片刻。这是一个通告。惟悖逆的民众，才遭毁灭。
