The Holy Quran 72:24 — Surah Al-Jinn

Arabic text

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا رَأَوْا۟ مَا يُوعَدُونَ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَضْعَفُ نَاصِرًا وَأَقَلُّ عَدَدًا

Translation

(It appears from the attitude of the Kuffaar that they will never accept the truth of Islaam) Until they see what (punishment) they have been promised, then they will realise who had the weakest assistant and whose numbers were fewer. (In this world, the Kuffaar look down on the Muslims, thinking that the Muslims have weak allies and are fewer in number. However, the Kuffaar will realise the error of their judgement on the Day of Qiyaamah when the Muslims will emerge as the superior ones and will have each other to intercede for them while the Kuffaar will have no allies to help them.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
