Ayah: 98

قَالَ هَٰذَا رَحۡمَةٞ مِّن رَّبِّيۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعۡدُ رَبِّي جَعَلَهُۥ دَكَّآءَۖ وَكَانَ وَعۡدُ رَبِّي حَقّٗا

(98) He said: “This is mercy from my Lord. ˹But˺ When the promise of my Lord comes to pass^[3943], He will level it (the dam) to the ground; verily the promise of my Lord is ever true!^[3944]

[3943] The time of God Almighty’s decree for their coming out from behind the dam (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī). Their coming out to wreak havoc in the world is very close to the coming of the Hour and the Day of Judgement (Muslim: 2937).
[3944] This is a subtle reminder to all those concerned at the time of revelation that whatever God promises will surely come to be realized, especially the punishment which is being awaited: “Verily Allah does not break His appointment!” (13: 31)
