آیه: 45

أَفَأَمِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَكَرُواْ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ أَن يَخۡسِفَ ٱللَّهُ بِهِمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ أَوۡ يَأۡتِيَهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ

(45) ^[3298]Do those who plotted evil ˹plots˺ feel secure that Allah would not make the ground give way with them or that the Punishment comes upon them whereof they perceive not!

[3298] Given their bellicose position and unwavering animosity that went on for so long (knowing that this is a late Makkan sura) they deserved God’s Wrath and are living under the shadow of His Command, i.e. punishment. Here, the recurrent theme of this sura detailing the subtle yet urgent threat (cf. Ayas: 1, 26, 33, 77 and 112) to the belligerent Qurayshites, is detailed and pronounced in Ayas 45-47 (cf. Ibn ʿĀshūr).
