The Holy Quran 21:38 — Surah Al-Anbya

Arabic text

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ

Translation

They (the Kuffaar) say, "When will the promise (of punishment) come to pass if you (O Rasulullaah ﷺ) are truthful (in your claim that we will be punished for committing kufr)?"

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, you keep saying that the Day of Resurrection will come and all the disbelievers will burn in Hell for ever. When, after all, will this promise be fulfilled? If you are truthful, why do you not summon the Day of Resurrection and Hell right now?
