The Holy Quran 67:28 — Surah Al-Mulk

Arabic text

قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَهْلَكَنِىَ ٱللَّهُ وَمَن مَّعِىَ أَوْ رَحِمَنَا فَمَن يُجِيرُ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

Translation

(O Rasulullaah ﷺ) Say (to the Kuffaar), "Tell me. If Allaah destroys me and everyone with me (as you Kuffaar prefer) or (if, according to our expectations, Allaah) showers mercy on us (in either case, we are convinced that we will enter Jannah), (however,) who can save (protect) the Kuffaar from a painful punishment (in the Aakhirah, which will certainly come to them)?"

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
