The Holy Quran 54:42 — Surah Al-Qamar

Arabic text

كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا كُلِّهَا فَأَخَذْنَـٰهُمْ أَخْذَ عَزِيزٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍ

Translation

(However, instead of taking heed,) They rejected every one of Our (nine) Aayaat so We seized (punished) them with the grasp of One Who is Most Mighty and Powerful (from which they had no escape).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
