Tafsir
Verse range: 12:107
أفٲمنوا أن تٲتيهم غاشية من عذاب الله
Do they then feel secure from the coming against them of the covering veil of the torment of Allah! Allah asks, `Do these idolators who associate others with Allah in the worship, feel secure from the coming of an encompassing torment from where they perceive not!'
أو تٲتيهم الساعة بغتة وهم ﻻ يشعرون
or of the coming against them of the (Final) Hour, all of a sudden while they perceive not! Allah said in other Ayat,
أفٲمن الذين مكروا السييات أن يخسف الله بهم اﻻرض أو يٲتيهم العذاب من حيث ﻻ يشعرون
أو يٲخذهم فى تقلبهم فما هم بمعجزين
أو يٲخذهم على تخوف فٳن ربكم لرووف رحيم
Do then those who devise evil plots feel secure that Allah will not sink them into the earth, or that the torment will not seize them from directions they perceive not! Or that He may catch them in the midst of their going to and from, so that there be no escape for them (from Allah's punishment)! Or that He may catch them with gradual wasting (of their wealth and health)! Truly, Your Lord is indeed full of kindness, Most Merciful. (16:45-47) and,
أفٲمن أهل القرى أن يٲتيهم بٲسنا بيتا وهم نايمون
أو أمن أهل القرى أن يٲتيهم بٲسنا ضحى وهم يلعبون
أفٲمنوا مكر الله فﻼ يٲمن مكر الله إﻻ القوم الخسرون
Did the people of the towns then feel secure against the coming of Our punishment by night while they were asleep! Or, did the people of the towns then feel secure against the coming of Our punishment in the forenoon while they were playing! Did they then feel secure against the plan of Allah! None feels secure from the plan of Allah except the people who are the losers. (7:97-99)
