Ayah: 47

قُلۡ أَرَءَيۡتَكُمۡ إِنۡ أَتَىٰكُمۡ عَذَابُ ٱللَّهِ بَغۡتَةً أَوۡ جَهۡرَةً هَلۡ يُهۡلَكُ إِلَّا ٱلۡقَوۡمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ

(47) Say ˹Muhammad˺: “Would you not see that if Allah’s Punishment befalls you all of a sudden or plainly to sight; would none but only the wrongdoers be destroyed?^[1361]

[1361] Punishment could come to them suddenly without warning or after the coming of its harbingers and none could tip them off in the case of the earlier or save them in the case of the latter; either way, only the Deniers will be taken, and God saves His sincere servants (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī): “Those who Believe and do not mix their Belief with injustice, for those is security and they are ˹truly˺ guided” (6: 82).
